How to Manage a Man.

A man never stoops to the means
employed by women; he is broader,
more liberal, he applies himself to the
things which belong to the day, the
hour and the object for which we live.
Whoever heard of man losing his
temper because his suit would not
match his complexion, or fume be-
cause six button gloves had been sent
when he had ordered sevenl What
man would faint on Broadway because
the clasp that held his hosiery gave
way and wriggled on the sidewalks
Nonel Yet l saw that happen to a
woman recently.
Yet men are very much like chill
dren. Humor them, and they will dc
your bidding. Make them believe they
are always having their own way;
don't let them see the silken net you
have woven about them, and they
will blandly obey your will; but once
let them believe they are captive, and
no puny woman's power will avail
against their superior strength

The Curfcw Tolls In Albany.

There is a custom in Albany which
has been maintained for 200 years,
which, | presume. isn't known in any
other city of its size in the Union.
The curfew tolls promptly, and to the
eighth of a second. at 8 each night.
The city hall tower has {, deep sound
ing bell, connected by electric wire
with Dudley observatory, and it
strikes stroke of one at Q o'clock
night and morning. All the private
clocks and watches are set by it, and
it is curious notion to the theatrical
companies that visit there to see nearly
everybody in the audience pull out
his or her watch at apparently pre-
concerted moment and look at it. The
effect is novel. 1t nearly upset John
Mccullough and Mary Anderson when
they played here together some years
ago. Mccullough had just seen the
air drawn dagger, and he thought the
audience were all going to ring the
chestnut bells on him.-New York

Mothers |!

There are upon the skin of every human
being, child and adult alike, 2, 800, 900 pores.
Through these pores in the form of invisible
perspiratioh is expelled more than one
quarter of the nourishment taken into the
system. The importance of keeping open
these Precipitation valves upon child's body
is second only to that of properly digesting
the food eaten. 1t was to open the pores of
the skin and to assmilate the food that DR..
Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels,
constipation, fevers and eruptions which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill One-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. 1t is from the Won
derful results attendant upon the use of
Castoria in regulating the stomach and bow
els and keeping open the poresofthe skin that
CastOria acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body. pure air
for the lungs and Castoria to assmilate the
food, there need be no unnacounted for sicks
ness among children. Castoria is vege-
table prescription without morphine or other
narcotic property. Thirty years extensive
use has given it a history never attained by
another medicine,

PURvIs, Miss, Aug. 15.-After considera-
BILE delay the grand jury on Wednesday re-
turned indictments against John L. Sulli-
van, Jake Kilrain, Referee Fitzpatrick, Null
doom, Cleary and Donovan. The indictment
against Sullivan, relieved or its legal ver-
biage, charges that John L. Sullivan, by
and in pursuance OF a previous appoint
ment and arrangement made to meet
and engage in a prize-fght with Jake
Kilrain, and for large sum of money did
unlawfully engage in prize-fght in a
ring commonly called q prize ring, and
then and there beat, strike and bruise the
said Jake Kilrain against the peace and
dignity Of the State of Mississippi.
Judge Terrell was summoned by the sher
iff at 5 o'clock. The grand jury desired his
presence in the court to present more in
dictments and they handed in eight bills.
They were against persons outside of the
county who had not yet given bond. Had
the parties indicted or any Of them been
under bond the indictments would
have been made public. The bills
are against Frank Stevenson, who managed
iKilrain's interest; W. E. Harding, who
represented Richard X Fox, Kilrain's
hacker; Johnny Murphy, Kilrain's bottle
holder; Dan Murphy, Sullivan's bottle
holder; Dennis Butler towel-holder and
ring builder; James Wakely and Charlie
johnson, Sullivan's hackers, and G. d. Ed
wards, general passenger agent of the
Queen & Crescent road.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug 15--Jake Kilrain,
accompanied by his wife, arrived here at
an early hour, and as he stepped from the
Norfolk boat an officer arrived with war
rant from the Governor of Maryland issued
upon requisition of the Governor of Mis-
:sissippi, and placed him under arrest The
defeated pugilist was taken before Marshal
Frey, who notified the Mississippi authoii-
ties Kilrain was then locked up to await
their action. Kilrain was on his way
to Australia when arrested. His mission
here was to soc his children and leave his

SOME INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l2-Dr. Hammond,
who has been much before the public re-
Gently by reason of his experiments with
DIR. Sequard's "elixir of life," took great
deal of the romance out of recent stories
by an interview Friday night He de-
clared the sensational publications about
this new preparation have been out
rageous lies, and that they were not
authorized or justified in any way. He ex-
planned that the new remedy was believed
to be in the nature of tonic which 1t was
thought would be beneficial especially to
old people. He denounced as foolish the
story that it was something which was go
ing to prolong life indefinitely or restore
old people to youth, or any thing OF that
sort
Fort WAYNE Ind, Aug lathe Brown
Sequard elixir was tested In this city Mon
day afternoon with marvellous results Dr.
w. ii. Myers was the operator and Michael
Kenney of Columbus City, the subject
Mr. Kenney has been sufferer from rheu-
matism for years, and lately has been able
to walk only with the aid of crutches A
short time after the operation Kenney sud-
denly jumped up, and unaided by
his crutches walked about the drug
store of Meyer Bros & Co., where the ex-
pertinent was conducted.
MOBILE, Ala, Aug IL. - The Brown
Sequard elixir was tried Monday upon DR.
Peter Coleson, for many years victim Of
rheumatic govt, and Thomas Bratton, af-
f1icted with liver trouble. DR.. Coleson,
after two hours had elapsed, said he felt
better He could move his joints easily
and felt the blood circulating through his
legs He was able to stand without his
crutches and for the first time in year
could move his toes. Mr.. Bratton felt no
change in his condition.
PARIS, Ky, Aug. l4.-Dr. BrownScquard's
"elixir of life'' found victim here Tues

agony. 1t is thought he died of blood

Some Awkward Breaks.


The Rev. DR.. Henson, of Chicago,
is man who is always eloquent, and
in the west they think him far superior
to Talmage. Some years ago DIR. Hen
son was lecturing at a Chautauqua as
sembly out west. Mr.. Frank Beard
the celebrated artist, had the hour just
before DIR. Henson, and just as the
latter appeared Mr.. Beard, who had
been drawing caricatures, announced:
ladies and gentlemen, l would draw
you a caricature of the gentleman
who is now to address you except for
the fact that the Almighty has pre-
coded me-" which vastly tickled the
audience as well as DR.. Henson, for
he naturally prides himself on the
LONELINESS Of his countenance.
At the great New York Chautauqua,
when DR.. Henson came to lecture on
Fools" Bishop Vincent introduced
him thus: Ladies and gentlemen, we
are now to have lecture on Fools by
one of the most Observation-Disclosures
was long pause, for the bishops in
Elections indicated that he had finished,
and the audience reared with delight,
SO that it was some time before the
sentence was concluded-''men of Chi
cago." DR.. Henson, whose readiness
of wit holds every emergency captive,
began his lecture when silence was at
length restored by saying: Ladies
and gentlemen, am not as great a
fool as Bishop Vincent"-and here he
stopped, apparently through with the
sentence, while the audience again
wildly applauded, finally concluding
would have you think. "-Cincinnati

MARKS OF Gsn,tility.

There are many curious personal
habits and usages that originally
marked gentility, il not aristocracy.
The practice observed among Spanish
hidalgos of allowing the finger nails to
grow into claw like forms was to show
that they had never done any work.
The same thing is done by the Chinese
for the same purpose.
Among the ancient Romans tho
wearing of long sleeves, which came
down over the hand, was the fashion
in the upper circles This advertised
to the world that the wearer did not
engage In any labor, and freedom from
employment was, according to their
crude notions of worth, the condition of
responsibility.
The height of absurdity is reached
in the fancy of the Chinese leaders of
fashion who have gone to the extent
of inducing shapeless deformity in
women's feet, and rendering the vic
TINS cripples for life, to prove that
these could afford to get along with
out doing anything for themselves.
Yet we cannot afford to laugh at the
Chinese in this matter. English boots
and shoes have been designed more or
