A BUSY Preacher.
[Richmond Dispatch.[

If there be any buster man in New
York than Rev. Morgan Dix, of Trinity
corporation, he would do well to step up
and be identified. Besides attending to
the vast routine business of the Trinity
corporation, withits SEQ, 900, 900 invested,
preaching regularly, marrying people,
visiting the sick and officiating over the
dead, he is called upon by men and wo-
men Of every walk in life for advice on
all sorts of questions. No matter how
early you go to his Office in the morning,
you will find dozen or twenty people
ahead Of you. They all want to see the
distinguished rector of old Trinity in
person and explain to him their various
schemes and troubles. The writer of
this waited two hours for an opportunity
to get word with him on matter Of

The Telephone In Germany.

The telephone service is admirable, as
is testified by the public appreciation,
there being over 10000 instruments in
use in Berlin. There are no private tele-
phone companies in Germany, the tele-
phone, like the telegraph, being branch
of the postal service. The price for tele-
phone service is low, the annual charge
for an instrument being 100 marks, or
something less than $50. The long dis
lance service between the principal cities
of the empire is being rapidly introduced
A telegram received for person who has
telephone is at once delivered orally
from the central office, and the written
message then forwarded by the local post.
Likewise a telegram is transmitted by
the sender to the telegraph Office by tele-
phone. The telephones in use are manu-
featured by Siemens & Halske, the great
electricians, and are said to be great i'm.

An Indian Fights with Boa.
New Mexico News.l

One day an Indian made an excursion
to mountain near Chevantzieurm, state
OF Michoacan, in Mexico, to look after
some fuel for his hut. While cutting up
dry oak he suddenly felt bite on the
calf of his leg, given in the fraction of
second. y moment later he felt coiling
around his body the terrible fold of a boa
constructor. Instinctively he leaned his
his head over toward the wounded leg
and was almost fascinated by the glare
of two bright basilisk eyes, that cleaned
like fiery Goals in the head of the serpent.
Quicker than flash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the rep
tile between his jaws, sinking his teeth
in the quivering flesh and clinging to it
with the desperation of the dying. The
huge serpent dashed his tail and tried to
twist its head in order to bury its fangs
in the Indian, but the latter chung on
and began to chew away at the neck Of
the boa, which is the thinnest and most
delicate part of the snakes anatomy.
After chewing for long time, the In
dian succeeded in beheading his antag-
onist, the folds dropped from around his
body, and the Indian was free

Tiger Stories.
youths COMPANION. I

Lady Dufferin, in her book, "Our Vice.
regal Life in India, tells of tiger which
in nine months killed twenty-three men.
The whole neigbborhood entreated an
English sportsman, who happened to be
in the vicinity, to kill the terrible man
eater. The sportsman spent twenty-four
hours in q cage, built so that the sports
man within may shoot at the tiger
through the bars, and yet be protected
from his attack. A companion Joined
him after he had been twelve hours in
the cage, and they both watched twelve
hours more. but no tiger appeared.
Then the two men went to sleep. When
they woke they found the tiger had
walked round the cage, for his footprints
were plainly to be seen through the bars.
This same sportsman hunted one day
for tiger, in jungle SO thick that he
could see nothing. But he felt sure that
a tiger was close to him all the time. At
last he made his men examine the ground,
and they found tracks which disclosed
that the tiger had been following them
all daV.

THE HEALTH OF GROW
ING CHILDREN,
Parents shouId give more care 10 III
young lives entrusted TO Them.

Parents shouId give more care 10 the
young lives entrusted 20 them.
Professor August Oliver of Paris, in a
recent lecture upon the health of growing
children, states that headache, weakness,
and other Ills which are often so common,
come from nervousness. From the age of
ten to fifteen, children have headaches
oItener than at any other period OF life.
Sometimes they are pale, emaciated, have
eye troubles, sleep Is disturbed, are not
hungry, and feel run down. If we look
rightly at the cause of these disorders, we
see that 1t Is weakness OF the nerves often
following over study"
There Is nothing which will so quickly
restore these children to perfect health and
happiness as Professor Phelps's great dis
covery, Paine's Celery Compound. 1t will
strengthen their nerves, cure their head.
aches, make them hungry. and give health
and happiness. Weakness and low spirits
will depart when this medicine is used.
The weak, languid nerves and lifeless feel
ing that have made father and motherwonder
what Is the matter with their children, will
be replaced by vitality, energy, and happi-
ness. Their eyes will sparkle as of old, the
rosy bloom of health will again mantle their
more pulsate joyously, through their veins.
Paine's Celery Compound is scientific
medicine made from the most carefully Sc
lected herbs. 1t is not sarsapartlla or a
bitters, but the discovery Of the eminent
Professor Phelps's, a physician Of the widest
experience. Many Of our best known citi-
zens have used this medicine for their child
rem, and gladly testify to its good effects. A
little of this medicine at this season OF the
year, when nearly every child is more or less
out of health, will oftentimes prevent serl-
GUS and dangerous illness.

A Professors Mistake.


For the foreigner who attempts enter
ing society in America, the way is beset
with many obstacles, especially in the
choice of proper words to express the
meaning to be conveyed. Professor Men
del had been in this country but few
few weeks when it fell to his good for
tune to be invited to one of the first homes
of Philadelphia, prominent attraction
of which was several dark haired. black
eyed, and withal very stylish daughters.
A most delightful evening was passed in
the society of the ladies', and in the en-
joyment of bountiful lunch prepared in
honor of the distinguished visitor.
AT the proper hour the professor an
nounced that the time had arrived for his
departure, and in his leave taking, in his
most gallant manner, he thanked the host.
ess for the very pleasurable evening he
had passed in her "homely home" and in
the company of her "homely daughters. "
The GOODNESS that existed between the pro.
lessor and his generous hostess and her
daughters was never fully dispelled I'm.
til he explained that in Germany "home.
ly' signiied "hospitable, and certainly
none could have been more hospitable
than she and her hospitable daughters

The ear machine is one of the latest
beautifiers 1t is merely bit of sprung
steel, SO shaped as to come down over the
ears and press them back when they
stand out too prominently. One can
hardly blame people for using them.
Ears that stand out from the head like
handles from the side of jug are not
pretty. If mother sees that her child
is likely to be so afflicted she can easily
remedy the difficulty by little trouble.
