 The experiments is sugar manufacture and sugar-cane growing in Kansas the past year are considered quite satisfactory. The ex- peIimental station at Fort Scott used up 3,s40 tons of grain grown on 45O acres of land, and produced 235, ,726 pounds of sugar and 51 ,000 gallons of syrup, and cleared a net profit of SIS, ,299; $4,71e of which went to the cane growers as State bounty of two cents pound on the sugar extracted.

Johnny, the office Boy.

''Is MT. Martin in:" said the representative of 8 well known eastern firm of bell found CTS, as he entered the office of one of the largest establishments in San Francisco flew days ago.
 No one knew anything about any Mr. Mar tin connected with the establishment until the eastern man produced two letters written with typewriter on letterheads belonging to the local firm.
 "Why," said the bookkeeper, "that must be Johnny, the office boy" and so it proved to be.
 Johnny, the office boy, has penchant for bells. He bought the first chestnut bell owned in this city, street-car gong is a source of pleasure to him, and the boom of frebells sets him wild with delight The dream of his life is to hear great Tom of London and to gaze upon the big bell of Mos- COW.
 A short time ago he sent typewritten let ter, on the letterhead of the firm for which he works, to the firm of bell founders, ask ing the prices of bells, particularly large church bells weighing from twenty to thirty thousand pounds. In reply he received a circular and price list, with polite letter 1rOLn LAo uELu earnestly SOllclC1DS QlS GraQo.
 He acknowledged the receipt of the price list, but said that he had concluded not to buy at present. Furthermore, he said that the prices were too high and he could do bet ter here for the kind of bell he wanted. The best salesman the bellmen had was called in from the road and started off to San Fran cisco to sell the big bell, with instructions to secure the contract at any price. The vis- itor was that salesman
 Johnny was called in and the letters shown to him. He at once acknowledged their au- thorship.
 The eastern man was mad. He had trav- eled three thousand miles and spent lot of money to find he had been sold by boy. He stormed and raved, and wound up by demanding the discharge of the boy.
 The local firm declined to discharge the urchin, saying that boy of his age who could write such good business letters as those shown by the bellman was just the kind they wanted in their office. Johnny has been promoted and now occupies desk instead of running errands. He says that when he gets rich he is going to build church and buy it the biggest bell the east ern firm can turn out.

INDICATIONS.

happiness, discarding the old, uncertain
 means of ridding themselves of bodily
 misery. They seek, find and hold on to,
 not what merely relieves, but what cures
 without recurrence of pain. MT. Harry
 Williams, druggist, notary public and late
 postmaster of Greenville, Cal, not content
 with a mere statement of facts, affixes
 thereto his jurat and official seal, evidently an emphatic method of making it unques-
 tionable. He says under date of March 6,
 1884, attested in the manner described: T am willing to state under seal of my office,
 from repeated observations, I have seen
 more benefit derived from single applica- tion of St. Jacobs Oil than any remedy ever used or sold in twenty years constant
 handling of medicines. I have recently
 had under observation lady who for two days suffered severely from pain Tn the
 back so intense she could not sit up. One application of St Jacobs Oil applied ID the evening gave the patient a good nights rast and she got up well the next morning"
 lime 21. 1887, he again writes: II do not hesitate to renew what have said-that too much cannot be said in favor of your wonderful Oil. Having used it in my own family, besides @ great number of sufferers who have applied to me, with almost in- staQt ana p6TudQGnb TCuel3 l Ctn tIu1J Sty that it's use has effected cures to my knowledge and afforded relief that seemed incredible and almost marvellous" Also Sergeant Thos. F. Hogan, Northeast Police Station (residence, POS N. Castle street), Baltimore, Md, states: My wife had been a sufferer five or six years with intense pains in her back-lumbago- found no relief from doctors. She used besides all kinds of remedies without benefit until finally was induced by brother officer, who had been cured by St. Jacobs Oil, to give it 8 trial to relieve my wife. did so, and she used two bottles, which cured her completely. She has had no return of the pain. While using it our boy fell from shed and sprained his leg badly. A portion af the Oil was used on him and it cured him promptly. My wife attends to her household duties without trouble" The positive and permanent cures-no relapse, no return of pain-are the points to which public attention is turned. Modern re- form in selecting only such and keeping it on hand is the indication of the times toward what is best.

STRANGE HABITS IN DRESDEN.
nr U.au~V.<ar uaxro6 ar MFrL>

Strict Police Regulations and No Noise or Laughter Allowed at Night.
 Dresden Letter to the Louisville Courier Journal The police regulations here are exceedingly ] strict, and one has to be on his p's and as at all times or he may get into trouble. The other night several American ladies who are living here happened to be in their private parlor, which was on the ground floor of the house, and in discussing the adventures of the day related some amusing incidents, whereupon the others laughed, not loudly, but merrily. Almost instantly the bell rang and police officer stood at the door and in- formed the ladies that unless the noise ceased at once he would arrest them. Alasl the poor young ladies had to retire and withhold their tales of adventure until day- light.
 I was riding out the other day with a friend in an open carriage Both of us were strangers in the city, and were going about the town driving ourselves rather than go poking along in one of the numer- ous but dirty cabs. The horses were passing leisurely along one of the main streets and we were gazing at the German girls as they passed us. Suddenly there appeared before us man in uniform. He stood in the mid- dle of the street and blew "dog whistle," which first attracted our attention. Then he drew from under his arm red flag and fran tically waved it in the air. My friend pulled in his horses and they came to halt. We then noticed car tracks on the streets running at right angles to the one we were on, and we thought at once that we had come to a railroad crossing, and that the au- thOrities were most considsrate in warning people of their danger; though we also thought it rather strange for railroad train to run a grade through the center of the city
 We waited at least one minute and heard no whistle or indication of the approach of train, and would have moved on but for the official and his red flag. There we stood waiting with anxiety for the train to dash past us, not knowing how the strange horses would take to an engine at full speed with a train of cars behind it. Finally when we had about lost all patience and wondered why the man did not let us go on we heard something coming, and then the jingle of bells, and at last a little one horse street car logged around the corner, across ths street and went it's way up the thoroughfare.
 I looked with astonishment at my friend and he looked at me. Then we burst out laughing, for the whole thing was very ridic- ulous. Tagging us for street car to pass. There we had waited long enough to cross the track half dozen times before the car came, yet we had to wait. Since that drive have seen several such men and flags, all Tagging carriages to let the street cars pass, and every time I see them laugh.

In no respect is this folly more exempIiied than when you postpone the search for health and permit disease to do Its silent and deadly work un checked, until you are rudely awakened from your lethargy to find that is too late to repair the evil and that you are on ''the down grade and the brakes are all broken" Delay not another day. but call on Dr. Dobson, the specialist in chronic diseases at 1o9 Orange street, New Haven.

From the Saturday Review.1

The Geological society have suffered a seri- ous loss by the death, on Saturday last, of the young gorilla purchased so lately as the 10th of October. The death of this animal is much to be regretted, as 1t was the first specimen of it's kind acquired by the socis- ty, and 80 far as we are aware only the third that has been seen alive in this country. Ten years ago young gorilla, the property of German society, was shown for some time at the Royal Aquarium, Westminster. This animal died shortly after it's return to Berlin from its visit to this country. Mir.

 It has been decided recently by the court of common pleas of Berks county, Pennsyl- vania, that it is violation of the law to charge an admission fee to camp meetings on Sunday.

 The report of the English patent office shows that there were little over 18.000 patents granted in the United Kingdom last year.
