Where Americans Cannot Buy.
From the New York Telegram.

''It may seem strange" said an i'm
porter, but it is true that an American
wholesale buyer cannot secure in the
dry goods centers of Europe quotations
on many lines of manufactures which
are largely exported to this country.
Let the matter of black silks serve for
purpose of illustration.
''If a buyer appears at the French
silk manufactures the manufacturer
will not quote prices until he knows all
about the buyer, for whom he is buying
and where the silks are to be sold. Ii
the buyer represents an American
house he will find it an absolute impos-
sibility to secure any but price quoted
in dollars and cents, the delivery to be
made through the manufacturers
agents in America. The result is that
no American can obtain legal evidence
of what is the actual selling price OF
silks in the place where they are manu-
featured. The manufacturers have be-
come SO expert and acute in this trick
that United States treasury agents have
tired in vain to trip them up"

Cured Her Warts.

A young lady in Danbury, Conn.,, OBJ
tanned from a Gypsy woman recipe for
the cure ofwarts, which is said to have
proved effectual whenever it has been
tried. She cut pieces Of paper in
squares and large enough to cover a
wart. After wetting them she plastered
one of them on each wart. When the
pieces of paper had dried she took them
in the full of the moon and placed
them upon the ground beneath the
caves of a building where the water
could drip upon them. After they had
been thoroughly wet she placed them
in an oven to dry, and finally she placed
them in the shape of a triangle upon
her hand and then thrust her hand
out of a third-story window and blew
them off to the winds. In three days
the warts had disappeared. She is so
confident of the cure that she recon-
mends it to all her friends.

Goodness is UnintereSting.
From the Atlantic Monthly.

The most interesting character in
Millions Paradise Lost" is unquestion-
ably the arch-fiend himself; and in the
modern newspaper no class of persons,
unless it be political candidates, cut
greater figure than the criminals. There
is no doubt of it, good nature and even
good character do tend to grow some
what mOnotOnous and tiresome Human
nature is like an apple-all the more
palatable for being a trifle tart. There
used to be a funeral hymn beginning,
Sister, thou vast mild and lovely"
the word "lovely" being employed in
the ld-fashioned, dictionary sense of
lovable, not in the new-fangled, board
ing school sense of beautiful; and [ can
not help feeling that mildness, gentle
ness of spirit, is one of the traits which
most people like to attribute to their
friends, at least after they are dead 1t

ous-would it MOTTO sing about the
coffin, Sister, thou vast irascible and

Two Heroic Dogs.
From the Hartford Courant.

Sunday forenoon Fred Dow took his
children out for drive down on the
river course. AS he was jogging along
his attention was drawn to a couple of
large dogs which were lowering about
big air hole in the ice, seemingly
greatly distressed. Giving close atten-
ton, he saw large Newfoundland dog
struggling to get upon the ice, having
evidently slipped into the hole while
he and his companions were at play
He tried hard to get foothold on the
ice, but his heavy coat weighed him
down and he found it impossible to
make landing.
All the while his companions were in
great distress, crouching and moaning
and making almost human efforts to res
cue him. The dogs strength seemed to
be giving way, and Fred could stand itno
longer. He left his team, ran over to
the scene, grappled the dog by his
ears, and helped him out of his trouble,
much to the delight of his two compan-
ions as well as the fellow that made
such a gallant fight for his life. Once
out of the dilemma, they all three scam
pered away in great glee.

Where Chartreuse is Manufactured.
From q Naples Letter.


One of the chief points of interest in
Naples is the Convento Frat of San
MARITIME, situated on the hill from which
the fortress OF st. Elmo frowns 1t is
one of the sixty monasteries which
once existed in Naples, and is the only
one which still supports small band of
monks. These brothers of the Order of
st. Francis are permitted to occupy
part of the building, Tor the utilitarian
reason that they are in the secret of the
manufacture of chartreuse. These few
remaining Carthusians still ply their
fragrant trade, and those of you who
only know the bland and fervent cor
dial through your purveyors at home
have slight idea of the bliss of tasting it's
nectar, drawn directly from the glass
barrel that is always kept filled for
strangers who pass that way. The
monastery is one of the richest in
Europe. The wood carvings of the
sacristy alone would make it famous.
The paintings are almost all excellent,

stDidn't Know 1t Was Loaded"

HE didn't know it was loaded"
We often hear it stated that a man is not
responsible for what he does not know.
The law presupposes knowledge and there
fore conyicts the man who excuses crime by
ignorance
eff had only known" has often been an
unfortunate mans apology for some evil
unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of
general interest-as for instance that lau-
danum is a poison, that naphtha is deadly
explosive, that blood heavily charged with
a winters accumulatiOns of the waste OF
the system-it is ones duty to know the
fact an the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew for instance,
that the opening of spring was the most
perilous period of the year.
Why?
Because then the blood stream is sluggish
and chilled by the cold weather, and IT not
thinned a good deal and made to flow
quickly and BEAUTIFULLY through the arte-
ries and veins, it is impossible to have good
vlgor the rest of the year. Hence, without
exception, what is now known as Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, was plentltully mape
and rellgiously given to every member OF
the family regularly through March, April,
May and June. 1t is matter of record
that this prudential, preventive and restor-
atlve custom saved many ut OF sickness,
prolonged life and happiness to vigorous
old age, and did away with heavy medical
expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, KY,
used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla for
nervous sick headache of which [ have
been sufferer for years. 1t has been
great benefit to me-" Capt. Hugh Harkins,

Bad skin indicates a very bad condition of

If you would live and be well, go to your
druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla and take no other-there's
nothing like it or as good-and completely
renovate your impaired system with this
simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots
and herbs
Warner who makes the famous Safe Cure,
puts it up, and that is guarantee Of ex-

it yourself and give it to the other members
of the family, including the children. You
will be astonished at It's health-giving and
life-prolonging powers. We say this editori-

Babies in Business.
From the New York World.

No device of ingenious men who make
handsome living thinking up novelties
in advertising, has proved more etfec-
tive than the introduction of babies
into business. A well-known Russian
bath house has lis advertising. space
painted with representation of infants
taking and giving Russian baths. The
spectacle of toddlers Of 1 and years
grayely going through the intricate alb
lutions of such an establishment is lu-
dicrous to degree. Doll babies, dressed
out in the spring modes from Paris,
with the elaborate detail of a toilet for
the ball or promenade, give piquancy
to many of the millinery depots.
Misses Of 8 years may shortly be eX
pected to write testimonials on toilet
soaps and nursing bottles, and a baby
food approved by the infant Gould
would beyond doubt achieve an instan-
tanaOIS vogue

The ancientlegend of creation has the

to remain longer than to express her
hate of him, fled like wind as it wan

leaped from the cliff. Her banished

along the shore and saw her fall, urged
his canoe forward and saved her life;
and Manitou restored them to the ISL
and and banished the angel from Heav-

spirits and there became great leader
and the father of the white race of be-
ings called men, who, filled with the
hatred Of their father towards. the red

When forgetfulness would hnd me

And the locust in the door-yard
Bloomed for months instead OF days;
When nv chiidhood's chosen playmate
Was the brother of my heart
When twas Joy to be together
And grief to be apart.
Then the morning let no shadows

With her brown hairs ripping sheen,
And the year was always May time.
