Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.

For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the ELI takes a dining car
out of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with supper
which is equaied by few hotels.
The BurliDgton's st. Louis line though
new, is becoming better
known and growing In popular favor
every day until it bids fair In the near
future to be the fayorite lire between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
consisting Of through sleerers. chair cars

"YoU advertise that there is fine
stream of water on the place, but dom t

to rent the place. The landlord said:
"Just work that pump handle a little
and you will see fine stream of water.
You don't expect to have the Niagara
Falls on the place for fifteen dollars a

THE most pathetic story of the season
thus tar is that of a poor old hen in
Michigan that has been trying for seven
weeks with all the energy of despair to
hatch out something from lump of
dried putty, three black walnuts and a
glass marble. She is worn to shadow,
but her spirit is uncorquerable, and
she seems determined to sit it out on
that line if it takes all winter.
The latest fish story of the season
comes from Kirkwood, Ill. While
digging we'll near that place Farmer
Hook struck large vein of water at
depth of thirty feet, and was astonished
to find a big fish in the we'll. The fish
was as large as man and weighed one
hundred and forty pounds. 1t differed
from any variety ever seen before in
this neighborhood. So does the story.

THE Dowager Empress of China take,
great interest in the development of
the Celestial kingdom and spends a
great deal of time in consultation with
railroad projectors.
KING KALAKAUA, of the Sandwich
Islands, offers his throne for sale for
100000. A few years ago he offered II
for S2O0,0Oo,0O The price of thrones
has, quite evidently, gone down.
THE King of Bavaria smokes one
hundred cigarettes every day and is so
fond of seeing blazes that each time he
lights a cigarette he sets off a box of
matches just for the fun of seeing them
burn.
The Queen of Italy is growing stout,
to her great distress. She has several
times tried to become vegetarian, in
hope of reducing her weight, but is too
fond of good living to persevere in such
course.
KING LUIS, of Portugal, did not in
all his reign sign single order for CAPT.
tai punishment. He had conscientious
scruples against infiicting the death
penalty and so succeeded in making it
practically obsolete in his dominions.
PRINCE GEORGE, of Wales, commanded
a torpedo boat during the recent British
naval maneuvers. When at last the
pennant was hauled down he personally
thanked and shook hands with every
member OF the crew, and gave to each

BoTH in appearance and in manner

The German Emperor is said to have

simple manners. He rode alone in a
carriole when on his country excur-
sions, and was so much pleased with the
conveyance that he purchased one, and
also bought Lofodden boat for use on
the lakes at Potsdam.
TIE mother of the present Emperor
of Germany has until recently been
compelled to live in Germany. The
statute under which she was retained
has within short time been revoked
by the Emperor, and the ex-Empress is
at liberty. In return for the Emperor's
liberality the ex-Empress has sur
rendered all the papers and diaries of
her husband, the late Frederick.
KING OSCAR, of Sweden, has recently
been staying at Rome, and while there ,,
he availed himself of the opportunity to
pay his respects to the Pope. The blunt
old sailor, however, considerably |
scandalized the courtiers at the vatican
by refusing to kiss the hand which Leo |
XIII. extended for the purpose. In
stead of this he clasped the astonished |
Pontiff in both arms and imprinted |
sonorous osculatory SALVATION on each |
OF the Holy Fathers checks.

In the Meechem-Prewettc contest case
at Hill City one witness testified that he
was to get fifteen cents apiece for six
votes. The same witness testified that be
got $3.50 in all for certain number of
votes he secured for Prewitt. It impresses
us that seven for dollar is pretty cheap
for votes if that evidence is true. What
a pity it is that the votes Of such men
count as much as that of decent man.

A New Method of Treating Disease.
 HOSPITAL REMEDIEs.

What are they2 There is a new depart ure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifies used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance, the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was ob- tained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing ca
 tarrh, was procured, and 80 on till these in
 comparable cures now include disease of the
 lungs, kidneys, female weakness. rheuma-
 tism and nervous debility.
 This new method of 'sone remedy for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experi- enced the i'll effects, and thoroughly realize
 the absurdity of the claims of Patent Medi- cines which are guaranteed to cure every i'll out of single bottle, and the use of which, ] as statistics prove, has ruined more stomacha than alcohol. A circular describing. these new remedies is sent free on receipt of l stamp, to pay postage, by Hospital Remedy
 Company, Toronto. Canada, sole proprie' l tors. St
