Intelligent People.

When an intelligent person makes up his
mind to try Smiths Tonic Syrup, made b y,
not be persuaded by his oruggi It to take
some other remedy. He will insist on his
druggist getting the medicine he wants,
even though he may have to wait q week for
it. When family has once used Smith s
Tonic Syrup and experienced its quick ef-
feet in curing all symptoms of malaria,
chills and fever, summer colds, etc, they
never allow themselves to be without
it. An intelligent father would as soon be
without -four in the house as to be without
Smiths Tonic Syrup. The children like it,
and its effect is always satisfactory

Three Valuable Domestic Hints.

Gloves should never be rolled into a
wad or left lying inside out Pull off
slowly and stretch each finger to its full
length. Mend every minute rip with
glove thread and needles which come
especially for the purpose. Wrap each
pair in tissue paper, and keep in long
box, without folding.
After carpets are relaid go over them
and wipe with a damp cloth wrung out
of warm water, to which ox-gall or OK
gall soap has been added. If this can
not be obtained use spirits of turpentine
in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls
to a gallon of water. Ammonia should
not be used, as it is sometimes injurious
to delicate colors.
To mend very large hole in socks or
woven underwear, tack a piece of strong
net over the aperture and darn over it
Thus mended the garment will be
stronger than when new, and look far
heater than IL darned in the ordinary
way.-Boston Budget.

A Jealous Thief

There was au occurrence not long
ago in the city of Minneapolis which
will illustrate the making OF virtue n
necessity and protitihg thereby. A
lady. than whose name there is none
better known in the theatrical world,
was playing an engagement at the
Grand. She stopped, of course, at the
West. One day she was engaged in
looking over her wardrobe. or por-
tiou of it. in her room, and, being busy,
had her luncheon sent TO her room.
When it came her stage diamonds,
made OF the purest paste, were scat
tered about on the table, among them
being large cross, heavily set with
sparkling diamonds. 1t caught the
eye OF the waiter who brought up the
tray, and by II little juggling with his
napkin he secured il.
He rushed downtown as soon as
possible to. in vulgar parlance, ''hock"
it, but found that he could raise but 30
cents on it. He was smoothly guy"
so he FASTENED back to the hotel only
TO find that the lady had departed for
the matinee performance. 10 the the
alter ne went and, securing admission

he found the lady and restored to her
the diamond cross which he plausibly
set forth had become tangled in "A

story, and one which will not be in

HENRY cLAY's POKER PLAYING.
Some Stoi les That Recall tho Old Gam
bling Days at the Capital.

That is the very table at which
Henry Clay used 10 lose the greater
part of his Congressional salary" said
an old Washington gambler. "Thc
game he used to play was one in which
the blind was 90 cents and 81 to come
in. There was no limit in those days,
as there generally is to-day. A man
could, however, demand sight for his
money. Clay's antagonist was gener.
ally a man named Bright, and both
preferred to play Il two-handed game.
The cards were cut one day and Clay
got the first deal. lie was better
card-shuliler than lives to-day. He
could hold his hands four feet apart
and fly the cards from one TO the other
without n single card falling. Gen.
orally he dealt with one hand
and without a perceptible move
ment of the arm, throwing each
to its proper place with his long mus
cular fingers. Clay was poor poker
play, however. He played for excite
careless about his bets he generally
came out the loser. He almost always
straddlcd the blind, and whatever
hand he held would raise the bet of his
antagonist. He used to bluff a great
deal. aud as this would soon be found
out lie would come out loser.
For nearly two hours the night |
speak of Clay had been having his own
way with Bright. He held king full
four times running and then had
jack full. Bright did his best to
eaten Clay in Il bluff. but it was of no
use, Clay had hand that could be
beaten only by fourst The play began
at O'Clock and by 1880 Bright had
lost $500 and lNd borrowed $500
from John Hancock. After that Clay's
luck vanished, and by midnight he lad
lost all his winnings and $1,000 be.
sides-all the cash be had with him.
1T was Saturday night and Brigh
proposed that they quit so they could
30 to church in the morning but Clay
wouldn't have it. So he borrowed
$500 from Bright aud let the game 20
on. The game was continued, and BY
daylight he owed Brigh: $1,000. He
Iiquidated the debt by giving Bright y
deed for 500 acres Of Kentucky land
aud six shares of stock in a Louisville
bank.
Clay went to church all the samo
that morning. While he was talking
to the rector after it was over he put
his hand in his pocket and pulled out
pack of cards along with his handker-
chief. They fluttered to the ground,
but Clay was not abashed, and re-
placing them said that they must have

PECULIAR INFATU ATION
Different Methods of Following the
Injunction Love One Another"

DO men ever fall in love with each
other?
Women do. Not long ago young
woman in New Jersey was married to
ayouthtul laborer on her fathers farm.
Sometime afterward it was discovered
that the husband was female; the
young wife refused, however, though
earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort. The
strangest part of the discovery was
the fact that the bride knew her hus-
band was woman before she was led
to the altar.
II men do not exhibit this strange
infatuation for one OF their own sen,
they at least oftentimes give evidence
OF the fact that they love one another
There are many instances on record
where one man has given his life for
another. There are many more in
stances where men haye given life to
another.
1t is proud possession-the knowl-
edge that one has saved precious
human life. Meriden, Conn, is the
home of such happy man. John II.

writes: Five years ago | was taken

Death Long Drawn Out.

1t appears from report on capital
punishment which has just been laid
before the Parliament of Austria and
Hungary that executions ia that conn
try are carried out in an inconceivably
barbarous manner. The convict is
placed on the ground, whore he stands
with long rope around his neck,
which presently jerks him off his legs,
ami he remains struggling horribly in
the air for several minutes. A con-
Wet is never strangled in less than
seven minutes, aud often the operation
takes quarter OF an hour, and the
poor wretch is usually conscious, or
nearly conscious, during the greater
part OF the time. People talk about
disgraces to civllizalion-surely this Is
one.-Lond0H lrHh.
