Absent-mindedness.
From the Chicago Journal.

1t is told of a prominent local orator
that he once boarded train and went
to neighboring town to deliver po-
litical speech, and did not discover un-
til after his arrival, that he was not to
speak at all, and that it was only freak
of his imagination. Quite as bad was a
street car conductor on the North Side,
who rang UP q dozen fares on his reg
lister the other day before he discovered
that he was pulling the rope Of the reg
lister, and not the bell to start and stop
the car. This kind of absent-minded-
ness costs money. By the way, was it
Observation-Disclosures or near slghtedness
that made a spooney couple halt street
sweeper on Madison Street about IL
o'clock one night, thinking it was a
street car? One more is on a married
man living on the North Side. He was
walking down State Street with his wife
during the busy portion ofthe afternoon,
talking about domestic economy. She
stepped to one side to look in a store
window, while he continued on. A pair
OF handsome young women were forced
by the jam of people to keep place at
his side lately vacated by his wife.
Nov, my DEAR" began he, addressing
one nearest him without looking up and
thinking his wife was still with him IL
would like to know how much muslin
yon will need for your corset cover and
skirts" Here he looked up and en-
countered the scornful chances of two
pairs OF eyes, neither of them belonging
to his wife. Suffice it to say that he
beat hasty retreat, but he did not tell
his wife word about it till long alter

Collars of English statesme n

From the Boston Transcript.
The collars of leading Englishmen
form the subject of study chosen by a
London journalist. Mr.. Gladstone by
common consent is admitted to wear
the grandest old collar in England 1t
is 49," and has peaks SO pronounced,
SO high, rising 81 inches from the band,
that the tradition is that the great
statesman lets himself down behind
them to enjoy nap und1sturbed and
Undecided, or to conceal his emotions
when attacked or preparing an attack.
No one ever dared draw Mr.. Glad
stones collars until young man on
Punch's staff depicted them in their
true proportionsand imme diately found
himself famous. Prince Albert Victor,
eldest son OF the Prince of Wales, goes
by the sobriquet of 'collars and cuffs"
He wears what is known as the lam
pot" collar, funnel of stiff linen with
no space, very suggestive of a formal
sore throat. Vernon Harcourt wears
rundown 10; the Speaker, II, and
John Morly, 16. Lord Rsndy's col
lars give his face the appearance of
head borne on charger. 1t is notice
able that the leading English public
men take large collars. Perhaps this is
an indication of the large physical con-
stitution which keeps Englishmen
strong in power long after the time
when the American pol ticians have
been placed per force on the retired list.
The English leaders are mostly of that
big-necked. bulbous-headed type which,
according to DR.. Holmes, "steams"

and tempestuous alacrity; utterly at
odds-as he told me with much
directness of speech--with the
sleepiness of the town; "was
there ever SO dull one ?"-for his part,
"he must be off," at odds, too-pleas-
antly-with chatty old kinsman he had
met on his Eastern visit, who had kind
ly driven him over from the near sea-
port; at odds with the sagacious horse,
which had put three hours to the drive;
at odds with the ever-recurring talk of
his loquacious kinsman, about ancient
residents, deacon this and deacon that;
roping me in and showing me out upon
the flood of the old gentleman's chat
with jaunty air of "sauve qui peut Pr
and commencing me to his collOquial
and antiquarian graces.
There could not have been prettier
contrast between the old New England
-ruminant and passive, but well-fur-
nished in brains and purse-and the
new New Highlander grated on West
ern stock, rushing across country to
shed swift business tear on old graves,
and then dash away to places that scin-
tillate with sharp pointed life, and
with more flaming activities.
Here was town-not defiowered by
skirting railroads, not agr1culturally out

tions, good quota Of venerable trees,
respectable, roomy homesteads scat
tered along the hills, yet the sharp. vi
brant accent OF life there fifty years ago
was utterly gone, there was no promise
of young blood for its renewal. The
tide cityward is too strong. Even the
dowagers and the spinsters who still
people some fine old country houses
redclent OF colonial memories--whos still
guard their patches of fine lilies, and
patch their revenues to keep the old
vestal lights worthily afiame, are only
saved from the fierce tides pouring city

His Long Walks Did tt.
From the New York Sun.


How do army officers 80 often man
age to keep young shoulders under old
heads?'' was the question friend ask
ed Capt. William N. Tisdall, senior cap
tain of the First Infantry, a lew years
ago, on the occasion of one of this genial
veterans rare visits to civilization. No
man can be senior captain of an infantry
regiment in the United States army
without having served Uncle Sam long
time. Tisdall looks as spry, as hand
some, and as young as he did ten years
ago. "Not long ago" said he, 81 march
ed two companies of men from Fort
Ringgold, on the lower Rio Gtande, to
Fort Davis, in northwestern Texas, $50
miles. [ walked right along with the
men every foot of the way, too, and

after that for anyone to ask where be
got his clear color and unwrinkled

The Fruit of Violence.

In no case is the folly of violence in medica-
ton more conspicuously shown by its fruit than
in the effect upon the intestines of excessive
purgation. The stomach and bowels are first
painfully griped, then the latter is copiously,
suddenly and repeatedly evacuated. This is far
beyond the necessities Of the ease, most unnat-
ural, excessively facilitating. The organs are
incapacitated from resuming their function with
normal moderation. An astringent is resorted
to which reduces them to their former condition
of inaction To this monstrous and harmful
absurdity, HostetteI's Stomach Bitters is the
happy alternative. 1t relaxes gently, naturally,
sufficiently, it diverts bile from the blood into
its proper channel, it insures healthfu1 diges-
ton and complete assimilation. It is complete
defense against malaria, and conquers rheuma-
t1sm. neuralgia, nervousness, kidney and blad-

"And these ere the walls around II,

And all Ia ruin IL lay.

And we may smile looking backward,

After Many Years.

1t is curious that after lapse or more
than hundred years, the superb suite
OF ivory furniture which Tippoo Sultan
presented to Warren Hastings should
be going back to India. The unique
suite WAS a great sight at Davelsford,
where it was placed in the principal
drawlng-rOom, until the estate was sold
in 1858, after the death Of Mrs. Hast
1ngs, when it was purchased by Lord
Albert Denison afterwards Lord Len
desborough), whose son sold it few
months ago TOR $500 to Messrs. Vert
he1mer, from whom 1t has been pur-
chased by the maharajah of Durham
gan. This suite originally included
bed OF solid ivory, magnifcently carved,
which was presented by Warren Hast
lngs to Queen Charlotte, and it is COM
memorated in the "Rolliad." This bed,
which was of great value, afterwards
came into the possession of George w.,
who is understood to have given it as
present to a foreign sovereign.
