How to Grow Beautiful.

She knew it was necessary to be-
come beautiful in order to be consid-
cred attractive, and SO she made the
art of beautifying a study. She felt
it wiser to be plump and hearty than
to be thin and delicate. To this end
she knew good health was essential.
She had suffered from backaches,
sideaches and bearing down pains,
and was restless until she found the
medicine she needed. 1t improved
her appetite and digestion. Her hab-
its became regular. Her flesh increased
and became more firm and solid. Her
complexion became clear and beauti-
full and free from pimples. Her lips
grew red and her cheeks grew rosy.
She did not know an ache or pain,
Exercise gave her pleasure and she
became the life Of her companions.
She could ride tricycle. for many
miles and never seemed to grow wea-
ry. Her laughter was catching and
all the young men loved her. She is
now happy wife and mother. Who
was shei What was her namei Well,
no matter, let us know the medicine
she used. With pleasure, with pleas
ure, sweet girls. She used DIR. John
Bulls Sarsaparilla. If any there be
among you who are sickly go quickly
and do likewise.-Mansfield Inde-
pendent.

The names of the great lakes OF Amer

French called 1t Lake Frontenac,
after the Governor. The English, when
they first claimed dominion, called II
Katarakui, or Ontario;" Mitchell
called 1t "Catarakui," and Pownall the
same, but the name Ontario" was the
one always used.
Huron was named from the Indian
tribe on its shores when first discovered.
From llomans, 1908, and DE L'Isle, 1729,

TRAGEDY oE The SEA.
Thre. Lives Sacrificed Upon the Altar o
Passion and Greed.

Thre>s Lives Sacrificed Upon the Altar OF
Passion and Greed.
never meet Howard Jansen without
relating a thrilling experience which he
passed through years ago while an Of
ficer on steamer plying between San
Francisco and Honolulu. Jansen told
the story with that simple modesty
which is ever characteristic OF brave
and honest nature.
"On the morning on which We were
billed to sail from Honolulu there came
aboard the steamer party OF three per-
sons, evidently Hebrews. All were edu-
Gated and refined. The party consisted
OF bride and groom and on elder
ly gentleman, who, we afterward
learned, was the brides father. We
soon become convinced, from the cool
ness with which tho bride met her
new husbands overtures OF affection.
that the relations between them were
strangely strained. At last, in a fit OF
desperation, the poor woman told our
| sympathetic stewardess the secret OF
her trouble, and the stewardess in turn
told the captain and myself. 1t was
simple, yet tragic story Of daughters
devotion. The father had become finaii-
cially embarrassed. The rejected lover
had bought up the old mans paper and
held 1t over his head, demanding his
daughters hand as the price OF his sal
vation. The girl. with heroic self-sacri-
fee. abandoned the man she loved, and
married this william to save her father.
So things went on for awhile. One
moonlight night about twelve o'clock,
was leaning against the rail when ]
saw a white figure glide noiselessly from
the cabin to the sido OF the ship, hesitate
for moment throw up her arms and
spring into tho sea. For an instant
was transfixed with horror, then, giving
loud cry, / sprang after her. She
sunk before ! could reach her. Several
days from the time Of the sad event the
old gentleman was found in his berth
with his throat cut; in his hand the
deadly knife which no had killed him
self Three years afterward | was at
the mines. One evening my friend told
the that a man who had murdered one
of the boys over faro table would be
hanged next morning, and asked me to
20 and see the condemned man in his
cell. Imagine my astonishment at rec
ognizing the young Hebrew husband
whom had seen on board the steamer.
There was no hanging next day. He
had severed blood vessel with his
teeth and gone in the night-N Y.

Alligatori nests resemble haycocks
more than any thing else to which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height and about five feet
in diameter, AMI are constructed of
grasses and herbagc, Ficst the mother
gator deposits one layer OF eggs on
floor OF mortar, and having covered this
with a stratum OF mud and hcrbago
about eight inches thick lays another
set of eggs upon that, and so on to tho
top, there being commonly from one to
two hundred eggs in nest. With their
tails they can boat down the tail grass
and weeds to prevent the approach OF
unseen enemies. Tho female watches
her eggs until they are hatched by tho
heat Of the sun, and then takes her
brood under her own care, defending
them and providing for their sub
sistance. DIR. Lutzemburg, of New Or
leans, once packed one OF these nests
for shipment to st. Petersburg, but they
were hatched out before they were
started on the long voyage, and woro
kept around the doctors promises, run
ming all over the house, up and down
stairs, whining like young puppies. st.

Why sweilhy Has Made Up His Mind to Go
In for Ibsenism.
There Is humbug, even in the field OF
learned fads, where the commercial ele
ment is not supposed to cut any figure
at all. They tell story, for instance,
Of the facile Swellby, who enjoys con
siderable reputation among society peo'
pie as literary man, and has a certain
standing among literary mon as so
ciety person, and who Of late has taken
up the fad OF Egyptology. You would
suppose, to hear Swellby talk about
Egypt, that he knew every shred Of
fact that Ebers, or Mariette, or Ed
wards had unearthed from the pyra-
nidsand the tombs, and had made the
personal acquaintance OF every mummy
Of prominence from the third cataract
clear down TO Tanis. But the other
night, at the club, tho irrepressible
Grigson set trap to catch Swellby.
The latter came into the room ut
4 moment when the well-known DR..
Cheops Chipstone, real Egyptologist,
who knows the Egyptian language even
better than he does English, happened
to be sitting, half-concealed TO the
group about the table, behind Q big
chair, in dark corner.
Hello" said Grigson, "here's an
Egyptian question for you, Swellby."
Chipstone, behind the big chair,
prickcd up his ears.
"What Is it?" asked Swellby.
"Do the inscriptions on the Egyptian
tombs read from right to left or from
left to right?"
Swellby knew nothing whatever about
it. But he presumed on the ignorance
of the company.
"They read from left to right" he
said.
"Blockhead!" shouted Cheops Chip
stone, swinging around in the big chair;
don't you know that they read from
top to bottom?"
Swellby made up his mind that 1t was
best to adopt new fad, and 1t Is really
said that he is going in for Ibsenism.-

She had gone away and left her
chewing gum stuck on the back Of
the sofa, and it was perhaps unfortu-
nate that her little brother saw it.
1t was certainly grotesque Of him to
carefully dig out its inside, fill up the
cavity with red pepper, carefully plug
up the hole and put the gum back in
its place. 1t was little short of ca
lamitous that her beau should call
just at that moment in the evening
when she had put the gum in her
mouth again. He does not even yet
comprehend why she danced and
shrieked, and finally ran out of the
room. There is no question that the
bill now upon the Legislature for the
killing of all boys between the ages of
8 aud 13 should go through. .-Mer-

Says railroad man: "a passenger
engine averages sixty pounds of coal to
the mile, and travels about So, 200 miles
per year, while freight engine aver
ages ninety pounds OF coal to the mile
and makes about $4,000 miles per year,
while yard engines burn less. Freight
engines travel much slower than
passengers, and therefore burn more
coal per mile. The largest mileage
made in 1888 by passenger engine was
