MONEY WORSHIPERS.
How the Average Native American Hun-
 gers After Millions.

| How the Average Native American Hun
 gers After Millions.
 It must be said, however, that the Americans are more open than any other nation on the globe to the charge of wOrshiping money. That is disease that vast numbers of them would like to catch, and not having a chance at it they merely molder away Tn country towns and in city suburbs and in laborous walks where the remaining freshness of our life is to be found; bat our middle class as soon as it receives education begins to aspire not to the excellence of per lection in some scie e or art or morals. but to rapid money, and with it a complete change of friends and surroundings. After the Amer ican has made his fortune there is not much more to expect from him. He finds no joy in his life like that thirstful gain, and indeed the methods of wealth hereabout partake of the gamester's arts and greed. The gambler has two sins upon his soul the first the sin of unmercifulness and the second the sin of unrest. He will not only plunder whoever will sit with him and be engaged. but he will not be able to apply his ill-gotten gains to any qu'et or happy utility. The game he has learned forces him on and on in quest of another man who will play, and there fore, our society, which is made up the successful men. has most of the qualifications of gambling society.
 The young man who has got nearly his million no longer stays at home of nights, or if he has fine house he wonders how he can turn it into his business as an instrumentality, so as to make more money. He notifies his wife to visit where there are rich GUS toners. She receives her portion of the gaming stakes in an unusual allow ance, carriages and horses, and the op- portunity to purchase hither and thith- CT. She feels now and then that things are not going right; that the man is giving his soul instead of his real faculties to the route for wealth, and she wonders if he will ever, unless he becomes very sick, be at homo again like the bridegroom of her youth, who sought her out above all others and gave her his attentions unasked. Still she thinks that he has elevated his condition immensely, and it must go on. And, therefore, all day long he schemes. and smiles, and ;akes in money, and the cards go against him now and then, and he feels that some- thing must be done to recover that stake, and he attends clubs. not as club man, but as gambling man, looking for to-mOrrow's respondent and customer. Even the churches are filled with these gamblers and their families, looking across at each other from pew to pew, and making them. selves believe that valuable hour ex. tracted from business will surely be considered by the Lord in what He in- tends to let His servant make on inc board or at the shop during the com- ing week. -G Gatb, ip Cincinnati En- Q1GircT.

MRS. STOWE,S WARES"
An Amusing AnecdOte of the Authoress of
 Uncle Toms (,,abfn


 Uncle Toms Cabin.
 Mrs. Stowe's daily life is much the same as that of any-other old lady of her quiet tastes. She is very fond of taking long walks when the weather is fine in the fields and byways on the outskirts of the city. She wanders around alone and her slight figure is familiar one to most of the old residents of Hartford. A rather funny incident happened as she was strolling the fields one day last summer picking flowers. On one of the low hills lying in the vicinity of Hart ford's famous cemetery has lived for over sixty years man by the name of Dix MT. Dix is now approaching his eightieth year, but is hearty, we'll preserved old gentleman, and is ex- tremely proud of the fact that he is the father of several generations of chil- dren and grandchildren. Old Mr. Dix was picking ''yarbs, D. as he calls them, one afternoon in field near his house. I will let him tell the rest in his own words:
 "l was picking some yarbs in the field when all of a suddint heard some one say: "Old man, what are you pick ing them yarbs for?" looked up, and list over the stun wall see the funniest looking little woman I ever laid eyes on, kinder simple looking, too I told her l was getting the yarbs for rheuma- tiz. Then she asked me my nono told her my name and said I had lived in the little house on the hill for nipb on to sixty years. Then said:

The human sensOrium resembles a circuit of electric wires, the various sets of nerves forming links in the circle of continuity. When digestion grows weak the epigastric nerve suffers, and the whole system is af- fected. Reinforce it with Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, and the nervous organism grows tranquil and reposeful. Fever and ague, constipation, kidney troubles and liver com plaints retreat before this remedy.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands a test OF fifty
years among II discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
net with such continued success and pop
lIarity as has marked the progress OF
~BRANDRErH's PILLS, which, after a trial OF
1ver fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,

That this is the result of merit, and that

alaimod for them, is ~conclusivcly proved

4 Decoration for the Living Soldiers efths

Nearly 60, oOo, 900 people Of the United
States scarcely know that there is ma
tional tribute paid 10 its brave soldiers, ssy6
the Chicago Journal. This is the medal Of
honor given by Congress for distinguished
cenduct in the presence OF the enemy only.
This medal has beea IN existence for more
than twenty Sears, and has been conferred
upon several hundred heroes, but very few
besides the recipients know OF its EXIST
ence. This ignorance is due to the TACT
that a mistaken simplicity marks the meth.
cd of its presentation in other countries,
particularly those we initiate in military
matters, the decoration is often handed t
the soldier by his sovereign in the presence
of the principal officers OF the State, o
| large bodies Of troops and Of thousands OF
people. The name Of the happy recipient
is published in the official gazette and by
the press throughout the dominions. In
| our country this reward from the highest
| power in the Government is sometimes
| conveyed to the brave winner by the
| hands Of the postman. Rarely, indeed, is
the presentation made an occasion OF GER
emony. 1t is received, gazed upon rever-
| emily by its possessor, for it is full Of sig.
| nificance to him, and then it is put care
| fully away, and is only brought out occa-
sionally for inspection by a comrade, or
worn on parade If specially authorized.

about eight hundred officers and men. Of

curious, exquisite or plain, according
to the whims OF the wearer. There
are no restrictions as to what stvls
should be used, and the fair purchaser
will find the fan counters at the stores
loaded with a b~ewildering variety. A
wider range of material and design is
employed than ever before. Delicate
carving, exquisite painting and even
diamond ornamentation are lavisbed
on the more costly fans. The mode
rate priced article displays wonderful
taste and beauty, and even the cheap
fan is quaint and pretty.
Among the novelties is the ribbon
fan, composed of gauze, with rows OF
marrow ribbon worked in and out be-
tween the sticks, which are of mother
of-pearl. The ribbons are delicately
tinted and form a harmonious combi-
nation, producing a rainbow effect.
Gauze fans, with delicately carved
sticks of ivory or enameled wood, and
ornamented with spangles nain+inn on
embroidery, are popular.
Fans aro made entirely of flowers to
match different costumes. japanese

made to order. There are white
swansdown fans with diamonds and
rubies set in the sticks. and point lace
fans with a design picked out in small
diamonds, and clusters of precious
stones set in the bar. The cost OF
these freaks of feminine fancy is from
$500 to $500.

each costume. A dainty painted silk
and ivory fan serves for the morning
A beautiful lace affair Is used at the
afternoon tea. The elegant dinner
