There is plenty Of mineral in sight, but it

DIR. Bliss. GarfieId's Physician.

met in the Capitol the other day DR..
D. w. Bliss, Garfield's physician. He
has been in very poor health for more than
a year; he is better this year, but he will
never recover the strength he had before
he attended the dying president. Gar
fields sickness cost him fortune and q
practice worth S25,0O0 year. His hair
was black when he began to attend him.
His shoulders were straight, his cheeks
were full and his eye was bright. Now
his hair is gray, his shoulders are bent,
and, while his eyes have not lost their
luster, there are dark rings under them,
and his cultured face is thin. He is but a
shadow of the DR.. Bliss of the days Of
Garfield, but his mind is as clear as it ever
was, and his judgment in medical cases as
good.
/ asked him what he thought Of the case
Of the crown prince of Germany, and he
replied that the cancer from which he was
suffering was, If the doctors had dag
nosed the case correctly, of such a nature
that. he might live for a year. / offered
DR.. Bliss a cigar, and was surprised to
find that he had stopped smoking His
cigar bills few years ago amounted to
from $500 to 81, 900 per annum, but he
told me that he was forced to stop, in that
he found his nervous system was giving
way, and that he had what is called
smokers heart" He does not use to-
bacco at all, and fse tells me that he had
to give up coffee, chocolate and tea in
order to succeed in stopping tobacco. The
man who is saturated with nicotine, in
stopping it must give up all nerve stimu-
lantS, and Dr. Bliss now drinks nothing
intoxicating, except now and then small
bottle Of champagne at dinner.-Frank

Punishment of Chinese Officials.

The director general in China suggested
that the officers in charge of the Yellow
River works who showed remissness in
not taking precautionary measures to
prevent the recent floods be degraded, but
this was deemed too light punishment,
and they were ordered to be exposed in
the cangue along the river banks. The
suO-prefect and mayor of Shang-an, the
assistant department magistrate of Cheng-
Chou, and the lieutenant and second SER
geant of the station below Cheng- Chou
were thus punished.
The cangue, or wooden collar, which
these unfortunate officials are condemned
to wear, is large, heavy square of wood,
opening so as to allow the prisoners neck
to enter. From the time it is put on it is
not removed till the term Of the sentence
has eXpired-a time varying from fort
night to three months. During the whole
time the prisoner cannot lie down or rest
with any comfort, and during the day is
placed in conspicuous place, with his
name and offense written in large charac
tiers on the great wooden collar, that all
passers by may read. The compassionate
people occasionally feed the victim, as it
is impossible for him to reach his head
with his hand; but the gamins tickle him
with strays and otherwise annoy him.

The Russian Sleeping Car Porter.

But the most extraordinary feature of
the equipment is the sleeping car porter.
The conductors and guards are dressed in
q military uniform similar to that worn
by railway officials in other parts of Eu-
rope, but the porter is novel and graft
flying spectacle, and furnishes the first
glimpse the traveller has of the national
costume of the Muscovite. That which
lmpresses one first and most is his boots.
They are Of the finest leather, reach to
the knees, have soles half an inch thick,
and around the ankles the uppers are
creased in the most exact and artistic
manner. / found out afterward in st.
Petersburg how it was done-upon a
mold when tho leather is damp, with q
large horn knife like paper cutter, with
as much care and mathematical accuracy
as the modiste uses when she puts knife
plating on her dresses, or the sculptor
when he chiselS the capital of column.
These boots are worn ali over Russia
by the lower classes, and are the national
vanity. The Mexican caballero puts all
the money he can raise into his sombrero;
the Argentine gaucho invests his fortune
in his saddle; but in Russia the personal
adornment Of the peasant, or the moujik,
as he is called, is his boots. He may have
no shirt, or no coat, or they both may be
ragged if he has them, and his bat may
be an heirloom, but his boots are always
fine, newly oiled and kept with the most
scrupulouS care.-William Eleroy Curtis.

tilla, which only Spanish women know
how to wear properly. The other day at
q wedding there were two young matrons
who had made themselves simply lovely
by arranging over their dark hair the
folds of a rich lace mantilla, gathering it
in some intricate manner high over
comb and nesting just above the soft
loose rings on their temples the velvet
petals of one pink rose. 1t is useless to
ask whether the wearers Of these man.
tillas are young or old, fair or plain, for,
given the proper skill the result is to be-
wilder the stranger. All he sees is the
dark hair, the soft, half yelled eyes, the
delicate profile, the curve of the neck and
the pink of the flower like the rose on the
cheek. The climate hardly makes the
great feather fan necessary but the white
gloved fingers just escaping from the
folds of lace move the soft mass of down
with grace inherited with the Spanish
blood.-Costa Rica Cor. San Francisco

fiter,+,Ss for Little Folks.

I do not think children ought to be
written for or down to. Children are
quite capable. In an Intelligent house
hold the little folks are quite capable Of
appreciating the ordinary conversation
that goes on between the members OF tie
family-so much Of it, at least, that is
good, and eliminating that which is bad.
When child goes into great library it
is known that literature that Is good
makes its impress, but literature that IS
bad fails to penetrate the childish mind
They may read Shakespeare or the Old
Testament, and they will never know
anything except Whist is wholesome and
good in it, l think the whole business OF
children's literature, like Sunday school
treatment and pamphlets, has been over
done; and it is in large measure done to
the artificial stimulation Of the publish
ers The vast portion Of it is of very
dyspeptic character. 1t weakens their
minds.
These builders of nursery fiction write
about children so and so; but children
want something more ideal. Very young
children, almost all the very young chill
dren-and when l Hse the world child
mean those varying in age from S to l5-
are interested in Homer and would like Us
to write about him, or the Iliad story OF
the Odyssey. Such subjects are much
more wholesome and would serve better
ends. But in the present literature there
is nothing enervating or stimulating to
the mind; nothing but what retards de-
velopment in every way. Something
more ideal Is wanted. The imagination
Of the child wants to be fed as much as
his eyes and appetite. J don't mean that
the child should read lot Of fiction al
the while. That is not the point. Even
perfectly commonplace diet is as injuri
Gus to child as it is to you.-Charies

Iwould advise any father who has sons
grown up, and is looking about to locate
them, to pass by the wholesale houses
and put the young men into retail bust
ness. A boy who is intelligent can go
into retail grocery and in few years he
viii be able to run one of his own. The
clerk or sales man in wholesale house
does not get the education that would fit
him TO run a store, yet the retail clerk
can, with very little training, fill place
in wholesale house. The chance of
making a success of life is better in retail
business. A man who is worth So, 600
year TO wholesale house, is certainly
worth more than that to himself. Any
industrious, honest young man ought to

ing is to hinder him from becoming a
