Two Ways. Choose Which!

There are two usual ways of doing
what Nature sometimes does incom
pletely, namely, to relieve the bowels.
One is to swallow drastic purgative
which eyacuates profusely, abruptly
and with pain, the other is to take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
effect of which is not violent, but
sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grippe the intestines. If the first
is selected, the person employing it
need not expect permanent benefit,
and he cannot hope to escape the
facilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse off than be-
fore. If, on the other hand, he re-
sorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon
the restoration of a regular habit of
body, consequent upon renewal of
a healthful tone in the intestinal
canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY relaxing
the bowels, the Bitteis arouse dor
mant liver, imparts beneficial i'm
petus to the action of the kidneys,
and counteracts the early twinges of
rheumatism, a tendency to govt, and
malaria in all its forms.

Tor dinner and tea. The matter of light
ing rooms troubles people who live in
country neighborhoods. If there is no
gas, candles are pretty, but very trouble
some. The wind blows the flame to and
fro, insects flutter into the flame, an I'M
happy moth seats himself ON the wick,
and burning into an unsightly cadaver,
makes gutter down one side; the little
red paper shade takes FIRE, and there is
endless trouble. Kerosene smells abom-
inably. However, pretty carcel, or
moderator lamp with transparent shade
is the best thing, and, now that they

Tho Migrants Of England.

Mr.. Ribton Turner speaks from long
experience of the begging community
and of the present condition of things;
he says with truth: Supporters of mis-
sions to the heather may learn from the
evidence quoted in these pages that 1t is
not necessary to send to Africa to meet
with the objects Of their benevolent zeal,
He exists in rank luxuriance at their own
doors. No foreign heather can compare
with him in his utter disregard OF re-
ligion, in his obscenity Of language and
in his utter brutality and filthiness of life
and action. He is now daily discharged
from the workhouse and from the
foul dens in which he lodges, utterly
friendless, utterly uncared for and left to
pursue the broad path to evil, without
being offered the slightest encouragement
to contrary course. Surely here is a
fine field for missionary effort. To re-
claim such savages would be work of
mercy to them, and of kindness to So
cietys"
The pursuits of the vagrant are Of the
most protean character. One day he is
the ''lurker," another day he is the zero

ness, or vegetable pills." obtained ready

try with genuine ketchup" made from
seattle market mushrooms" ii. e., de-
cayed pigs liver or he is the sham
smuggler, who sells brandy or tobacco,
the samples of which are genuine, but
the bulk of which consists principally of
colored gin or hay; or he brings ducks,
eggs, apples, potatoes-all much below
market prices-which are found too late
by the eager household economists to be
totally vile and worthless.
"There is hardly" says Mr.. Ribton
Turner, "a source of human suffering, or
a passing calamity of any magnitude,
which these rascals do not endeavor to
turn to their own advantage" The di-
rect cost of jails and warehouses for va
grants and beggars is an immense annual
sum. The amount of their depredations
is also very considerable. In addition
there is the enormous sum-certainly
not less than e3,000,000 a year-pre-
sented to them by gulled or thoughtless
public. If this last sum alone, now given
by kind people with the best intentions
to the most worthless and undeserving
rogues, were devoted intelligently to the
benefit of those who are far poorer, and
are honestly bearing their burdens in the
terrible struggle for honorable existence,
what untold blessings it would scatter
through the land! What q mass of
fainting humanity. it would comfort and

Fashionable Revival of Coral Jewelry.

There lately appeared on promenade in
Philadelphia well known society leader
who caused something Of ripple by be-
ing decked out in ornaments Of coral.
Inquiry proved that she wore them on a
wager, and that they were the property
of her mother, cast aside years before.
1t was noted, with some surprise, that
they became her admirably, despite their
old fashioned air, and the incident has
given rise to discussion in the charmed
circle upon the advisability of n crusade
in favor of the revival Of coral. 1t is not
so many years since 1t held high place
and furnished prominent industry in
France. The Empress Eugene, when she
set the fashion for the world, was ex-
tremely partial to ornaments Of this sort.
The Russian ladies Of today wear 1t a
great deal, and among the Orientals both
sexes affect it. The artistic effect pos
sible by combination Of gold and coral
are great; in fact there is almost I'M
limited scope for the exercise of the
jewelers. taste and ability.-Philadelphia

Stock Men of Arizona.

The plains are not adapted to numer-
Gus settlement, because the underground
water reservoirs available near the sur
face are infrequent. They are ten, fifteen,
twenty miles apart and water is raised
by steam, wind or horse power The in
dustry is mainly cattle raising, and the
cattle trails from large areas converge to
these ranch and water stations like the
spokes of vast wheel.
The stock Of these ranchmen number
from hundreds into thousands. When
the grasses are growing and succulent it
is amazing how long cattle will do with
out water. They frequently will not
come in for it for one, two, or even
three weeks. have known horses that
have been wanted, waited for, for two
weeks, and then four days more con-
sumed in hunting for them. This is one
of the resources Of interest when depen-
dent on them for trip. Sheep, owing
to coyotes and like enemies, have to be
corralled at night. Some of these corrals
are mile square, and water is piped to
them as far as four miles. These ranch
men are from all parts of this and most
other civilized countries, and are in
the main an enterprising and educated
class, who have settled there for their
health or to make money, and they
mostly win both.
They are hospitable, and their hospi-
tally has the grace of sincerity. They
have not accommodations for many, but
they will not refuse friend or stranger,
and they who for health or pleasure find
winter harbor in one of these semi
tropical ranches are indeed as well off as
this world can make them.-Cor. Home

The dressing room of q circus presents
a queer scene during performance. The
dressing tent is divided by curtains eight
to ten feet high into three different COM
partments. In one the men dress, in
another the women make their toilets,
and in the third, which is the first en-
tered from the exhibition tent, the ami
mails to be used in the different acts are
made ready for the work, the horses
saddled and bridled and the trick animals
dressed. in the mems dressing room
with the Barnum show over $50 indi-
viduals at a time are removing their
street garbs and getting into their ring
costumes. Look into this department in
the morning, when no performance is
going on, and you will see only four or
five rows of closed trunks, more than
$50 stretching in five or six lines through
the space. On posts four feet high, at
intervals, are small, square table tops
and square 14x14 inch mirrors. The
tables have chalk and bismuth stains,
and there are marks of much usage on
them. At these tables and before these
mirrors the clowns and other performers
make up.
The trunks are arranged in exactly the
same order in every town. Each man
has his place, and he can 60 into the tent
in the dark and place his hand on his
trunk. All nationalities are here COM
mingled. You can see a devout Arab
among his companions in all conditions
of costume or nudity sitting piously read
ing his Koran, and japanese acrobats
carefully preparing themselves and their
children for their act in the ring All
the performers are ON hand at z o'clock,
and when they go home after the per-
Torrance their trunks are packed and
locked, and so when we leave city the
trunks are lifted into wagons and carried
away only to be deposited in exactly the
same order in the next town in which
we show.-G. o. Starr in Globe-Demo-

An Excellent Route
Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact of the
inheritance of disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated
sc many dark corners Of nature, has shed
new light on tne onnnous words Of tho
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation"
Fifty per cent Of cases of consumption,

nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tcnds to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: "No organ
or texture Of the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of
hereditary disease" Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions Of
the body, are more or less liable to be in
herited. The important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the

these diseases is O subject OF intense in

NOT LADY IN THE PARTY,
The subject Considered by the House
Committee on Commerce.

(By telegraph 70 the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, January 20.-The sub
iect OF the Reading railroad strike came
up before the House Committee on
Commerce to-day through request by
the sub committee TO which had been
referred the Anderson resolution pro-
vlding for an inquiry into the strike
that it be discharged from further con
sideration of the matter As a reason
for making this request tue sub-cOmmlt-
tee stated that it regarded the subject as
one Of such gravity as to demand con-
sideratiOn at the hands OF the full com
mittee. After a short discussion the
request was granted and an earnest
DEBATE ensued upon the merits of
the proposition. 1t appears that the
committee Is pretty evenly divided, a
number Of Its members layoring an i'm
mediate inquiry into the strike. while
perhaps as many more take the ground
that If the strike concerns anything more
than private interests and is properly a
subject for investigation by the Govern
ment the inquiry should be made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which has jurisdiction if public rights
are concerned.
The matter will be further considered
next Tuesday, when an effort will be
made to dispose OF the resolutions. tits
understood that delegations from the
knights of Labor viii try TO secure a
hearing on that day to present their side
OF the case.
