a wish TO know which point was the

asked him whether he had a compass

he replied, fare compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was. Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the south
is exactly half way between the hour
and the figure 12 on the watch. For in.

TO meet Mr.. Stanley, l asked that emf

Early Rising.

Early rising is matter both of training
and temperament. The nervous person is
apt to rest lightly during Ehe first three
hours after retiring, and to fall into the
most refreshing slumber after midnight.
In that case his morning nap ought not to
be abridged. Nature will gently titillate his
eyelids when they need to unclose. Long
limbed persons fthe motive temperament,
those who require much exercise, can main
tain equilibrium upon much less sleep than
the nervous, cold blooded, thin skinned
kind. The former waken early, filed with
vitality and vigor, and desire TO talk and
laugh at once. They have full command
Of their powers upon regaihing conscious
ness. But the person of nervous tempera-
ment arouses himself slowly. He retraces
his footsteps hngeringly from the land of
dreams, and only gradually regains the full
use of mind and body. All such idiosyr-
crasies ought to be respected if one would
feei at lis best.-Good Housekeeping.

dispatches will come from Miner, Ameri-
can minister TO Guatemala, today. 1t Is
said here he left Guatemala on the United
States man-of-war Ranger for san Saliva
dor where he can communicate with
Washington by cable Mexican papers are
very bitter against Miner and say he has
shown undue partiality all along to Guate-
mala. The sympathies here are with San
Salvador The fact is, either Miner would
not answer kilograms from Washington or
else the Guatemalan government has de-
Hberately suppressed or detained them.
Geronimo, confidential agent of san Saliva
dor, has a dispatch confirming the news of
the defeat of Miranda and Figurea by
Ezeta. These two generals were traitors

A SENSIBLE PRECAUTION.

Though disease cannot always be con-
quered, its first approach can be checked.
But not only in the use of a medicinal safe
guard TO be recommended on the first ap-
pearance of a malady, but a wise discrim-
ination should be exercised in the choice
of a remedy For thirty years or more
Hostetters Stomach Bit5ers has been the
reigning specific for dyspepsia, fever and
ague, Il loss of physical stamina, liver COM
plant and other disorders, and has been
most emphaticalIy endorsed by medical
men as a health and strength restorative.
1t is indeed a wise precaution to use this
sovereign fortifying agent and alternative
in the early stages of disease. for it effect
ually counteracts it, if the malady belongs
to that large class to which this sterling
medicine is adopted Not only is it effica-
ciOus. but pure and harmless.

One day in their desolate retreat they
saw at early dawn a bright ray of sunshine
beaIning upon lovely verdant hill not far
away. Four days in succession this phe-
uonencn was presented and being drawn
by Curiosity to visit the spot they found a
beautiful girl babe. This child was re-
garded as the daughter of heaven and
earth, and they reared herwith the great
est care. When she grew to womanhoOd
the great warrior, who rides upon white
horse and carries the sun upon his arm as
a shield, fell in love with and married her.
The offspring of this union were two sons,
who slew the giants WHO had destroyed
the Navajos, and under their protection
the world wSs peopled again
The daughter of heaven and earth was
finally taken up by her.warTior husband
and transported to che great waters to the
westward, where she was placed in a float
ing palace, which has since been her home.
She is irnmortal, and to her are addressed
the prayers of thepeople. Her water home
is guarded by twelve immortal beings, who
return periodically to the land to learn
what the Navajos are doing, and to carry
back with them any messages which they
may send. The tradition of this protecting
goddess accounts for the respect which the
NavajoS show to the women of their tribe
Among them a man never lifts his hand
against a woman, although tits no unusual
thing for squaw TO administer a sound
thrashing to the warrior husband who has
offended her.
All of the sheep, which constitute the
great wealth of the tribe, are owned by the
women, and in the various families the line
OF descent is always on the side Of the
woman. The Navajos have little OF no
idea of a future existence, but srs firm be-
levers in the transmigrationof souls. For
this reason they have great reverence for
different animals snd birds, which are sup
posed to be The re-embsdiment of departed
spirits Of NaEaios.-William ". Edwardy

A RoyaI Evening.

One of Queen Victoria's maids of honor,
Lady Bloomfsld, some years ago told the
world how life passes at the court Of St.
James. 1t passes much the same as it does
in the parlors Of brown stone front IN
Madison avenue. After dinner there is an
evening to be spent, and the queen spends
it precisely as Madison avenue does. The
queen, who at that time sang and played
very well, took her place at the piano,
played something from Mendelsshon, and
then proposed glee, which was sung TO
her accompaniment. Others of the COM
pany played and sang. Some Of the ladies
did fancy work The conversation turned
upon the topics of the day.-New York

An Electric Honse Pump.

A neat application of electricity to do
nestle uses is the miniature pumping
plant. With the use of no more current
than sufices for couple Of incandescent
lamps twill pump 100 gallons sn hour or
so, and keep the house tank full without
a particle of attention. This viii prove
to be a great saving not only, but also in
sure the house from being without water

cal devices ,to2fighten labor in the house
hold are psrtic1larly cemmendable, and as
electric light and power become more
widely available will doubtless increase in

woman,s 1nauenoe on Politics.

In the Kansas towRs, says a recent
writer on municipal corruption, women
have taken an interest in municipal affairs,
and some of them have been elected to city
councils. They scrutinize carefully the
moral character OF every man who presents
himself as a candidate. If it is not salts
factory it is useless for him to come before
the nominating convention, for the women
have delegates at the nominating conven-
ton, too. The result has been revolu-
ton in municipal politics in these towns,
The occupation of heller, hummer, and
the man who makes his living by politics
is gone. Good order, clean streets and
first class schools appeal peculiarly to
women
