Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup.

THERE'S certainly something remarkable

SUCCESS never attained by any other medi-
cine, 1t never fails, if used as directed.

able to do business. Two years ago my case

Measuring Waves.

ST. Stephens Review says an interest
ing fact has just been accomplished by
Hon. Ralph Abercromby, who has sue
ceeded in measuring the height Of ocean
waves by floating a sensitive aneroid
barometer on the surface, and in gaug-
ing their width and velocity by timing
their passage with chronograph. AS a
result of these experiments he supports
Admiral Fitzroy in the conclusion that
waves occasionally reach an altitude of
sixty feet. The highest wave measured
by Mr.. Abercromby was forty-six feet
high, 765 feet from crest to crest and had
a velocity of forty-seven miles per hour.

The Ar Of spendinr.

Apropos Of the sale of jewelry In Paris
during the exhibition season, a French
contemporary enters into what it calls
''the physiology Of the buyer" with spe-
cial reference to national idiosyncrasies.
1t seems that purchases Of jewelry have
this year doubled the average amount OF
former years; and that this happy CON-
pensation for political dullness is due al
most entirely to the invasion of the bar
barians. And among the invaders the
American stands pre-eminently first in
favor. He has three first rate qualities
he goes straight to what he wants, he
pays cash down, and he never bargains.
One day leading jeweler had the
pleasure of selling a necklace to an
American for 600,0 900 francs for money
down on the counter, without being
asked for the smallest discount or reduc
tion-how much he would have given
had he been asked, the Partisan trades
man does not say. .-...t f
Next to the American, "le roi des
acheteurs," comes the Russian, who
makes very large purchases, but moi
quite in so reckless a mSnner; then the
Spaniard and then the Englishman, who
we should have thought, would have
been placed third. -f-#.
The rest Of the nations seem to come
nowhere in comparison-the German
no doubt, has not much cash left after 6
series of military budgets; the Dutch
man is too frugal, and the Italian is toe
much accustomed to bargain, regarding
a discount of 90 per cent. as in the nat
ural course Of things at home.
But even the Italian is welcome il
comparison with the Frenchman from
the country. The detestable provincial
even when rolling in money, will avoic
the great establishments and seek th'
small ones, which cannot afford to sent
a customer away. He will drive out
rageously hard bargains, and will g
away and return day after day until tn,
tradesman will let him have what h
wants at almost any price to get rid O
him. The American without vanity, O.
the Englishman who dislikes trouble
would evidently do well to employ ;
Frenchman from the country, even at ;
heavy percentage, to do his bargaining

The Maybrick Residence.

It is a curious coincidence, a London
paper notes, that Battlecrease house, the
residence Of the Maybricks, should have
already found a new tenant, and that no
other than Fletcher Rogers, the foreman
Of the coroner's jury before which the
inquiry into the death of the late James
Maybrick was conducted. The house,
which is finely situated near the Mersey,
has been thoroughly redecorated.

Electricity to Keep and to Kill Prisoners.

ELECTRICITY TO Keep and to XIII PrIsoDcrs.
A dispatch from Madison, Fla, says
that a prisoner, under sentence of death,
escaped with several others from the
local Jail by filing through bars supposed
to be file proof. Electricity ought to be
used to guard prisoners in small jails,
where the number of keepers is neces-
sarily limited. An electric alarm could
be attached to each bar that would sig
nal any break in the bar, or could be ad-
iusted so as to sound an alarm as soon
as the cross section of bar had been ma
terially reduced. Philadelphia Ledger.

George Wilson, q well known cow
boy, tells the following story:
There has rolmed on the ranges ad,
iacentt to the Platte and Laramie rivers,
for these many years, a mastOdon wild
steer whose aggrGSsivenCsS aud power
make him the dread of every round
up outfit. This combative beef bears
not a brand, but no "rUstler" dIres
appropriate him.
The demon steer" rs the pugna-
cious brute is called, knows no fear,
and with lowered head, glistcning eyes
and souorOus below will charge upon
anything IN his course. Time upon
time lac has been rounded up with his
comparatively docile companions, but
he invariably ruShcs past the line ri.
ders ms if no such obstruction to his
flight existed. Once a Cl outfit de-
termined TO effect tue capture of the
big fellow, but after he had gored two
horses and scared the wits from half
a dozen riders, the undertaking was
abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season,
in a fit of rage at those who dared 10
intrudc on the peaceful solitude of to-
range, charged at midday intoa caHap,
creating a panic, 10 which was ideal
Quietness the clattcr incident TO the
stampede of the tabled bull in the china
shop. There was "A scattering of equi
page and a disordered flight of the
diners. One Of these latter was so in
censed that. contrary TO orders, he sent
a six shooter ball after the massive
steer, but the missive flew wide its
mark.
Wilson asserts that he will under,
take to prove that the demon steer
killed a large bear in a fair fight on
the Sybillc three years ago, and the
cowboys will bet all their earthly be-
longingS that the demon steer can con
luer any bull in the territory. The
combat with the bear was a terrific
affair. Bruin was forced Ia the defen-
sive from the first, and for a time
pluckily met the fearful onslaughtS of
the lighting steer, jarring the greet
form with blows from his paws. The
activity Of the steer was marvellous.
He played around his antagonist asthe
sparrer annoys his foe, and ut nearly
every charge ran his long, sharp horns
into the bleeding sides of the bear with
the wicked swish" which accompanies
an effective sword thrust.
Wilson thinks the demon steer will
die Of old age. The man who attempts
his capture takes his life in his hands.
