Chinese as Bank Robbers.

A st. Paul dispatch to The Chicago
Tribune says: "On the arrival of the
Chicago, st. Paul and Omaha train this
morning Detective Mason placed under
arrest Wing Shoe and Gee Sham, two
Cinnamon on their way from New York
to Portland. The robbery ror which the
Celestials We're held was that of the safe
of one of the largest banking establish
ments in The Dalles, Ore. The safe was
blown open and robbed of $4,000 on
Sept. Is. 1t was found that the robbers
had tunneled under the building from a
long distance, and had calculated calculated cor
rectly where to strike under the bank
vault.
There was at first no clew to the per-
petrators of the bold deed. Suddenly
suspicion was directed toward several
Cinnamon. Some arrests followed ami
a part of the money was found. The
authorities got on the track of the two
who arrived in ST. Paul this morning,
and their coming was awaited by de-
tectives. The two Cinnamon were
searched and four large knives were
found in their possession, on the blades

Whera Ia She9

Where is that "divine perfection of a
woman" entitled "the loveliest of her
sex," to be found? "There!" "Therew
"There!" shout no end Of enamoured
bachelors, each pointing at his hearts
idol. The husbands are less enthusiast
tic, for it is ia lamentable fact in aesthetics
that matrimonial familiarity modifies
very materially the ante-nuptial opinions
of the parties implicated with respect to
each other. But almost every unmarried
man with a malleable heart knows or
has known some woman whom he re-
CARDS or has regarded as "the loveliest
of her SEX"
Yet the superlative is ridiculous, for
the simple reason that there exists no
absolute standard of womanly beauty.
The sculptor who shaped the Medician
Venus thought he had combined all the
rarest physical charms Of the sex in that
remarkable work of art, and yet we have
heard it criticised as too short, too tall,
too plump, too thin. etc. etc.; and a six
foot-four Vermonter who went to Rome
to perfect his taste in vertu recorded in a

Smiled in French,

The late Judge Noyes had remarka-
BILE voice. 1t was the voice Of man Of
fine physique, and it's owner used it as
shllfully as a trained elocutionist.
Judge Noyes' voice was Of remarkable
timbre, and it was wont to be his boast
that '.give me an audience Of 10000 peo-
pie in the open air, and I'll make every
one of them hear" When Gen. Noyes
was minister to France his great voice,
round and musical as a note from a
bronze bell, was the marvel of the
French people.
Lew Rosen, the playwright, was in
Paris when Gen. Noyes came to repre-
sent the great republic at the French
capital, and was engaged as French tutor
for the American minister's family.
Gen. Noyes had difficulty in learning
French, and freely confessed it. One
day Mr.. Rosen called upon Henri Mar
tin, the famous French historian, and
in the course Of the conversation he
mentioned Gen. Noyes' difficulty in ac-
quiring French. "Ah," said the great
writer, "Gen. Noyes' does not need to
learn to speak ze French language; he
smiles re French language. ."-Cincinnati

WILL TT RETURN2
Much Speculation as to the Probable Re-
turn of the Grip-What Certain
symptoms Mean.

There can be little doubt that the .'grip"
which played such sad havoc last year, has not
only left its effects upon great many, but
seems to be returning in various localitIes AL
physicians report that there is an alarming pre-
valence of heavy colds, accompanied by all grip
symptoms, Many people take cold easier than
before Others are troubled with weak eyes,
headaches, etc. These things not only come to
those who were laid low by the grip last year,
but are also visiting many who escaped Pains,
neuralgia, lasstude, all the symptoms are present
Every leading physician who treated the grip
last season prescribed stimulants. The weak
ening, depressed state of the body demanded
this and there are numerous cases on record
where pure whiskey saved the lives of men and
women who were fast drifting toward the grave
As in all other things however, the purity of an
article determines its value, and to say that or
dinary whiskey will assist is absurd. 1t is
only pure ,whiskey, of a medicinal quality,
which can be made available. and it is in this
respect that Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey has
shown itself to be immeasurably superior to
any other known stimulant. The attention of
the best physicians has been drawn to this
truth, and the fact that they are prescribing
this whiskey constantly, is the highest praise
they could bestow. Prof. Joseph Parish says:
ave know that whiskey will steady the heart,
slow the pulse, calm excitement. and we ought
to use it." Be very careful however that you
secure the genuine, and such as has, by years of
popularity, been proven purest and best In
other words, use only Dutfy's.

Advantages of Imperfect Vision.

Few people probably realize how rare,
OFFICIALLY speaking, is really perfect or
normal eye among human beings. Out
Of 200, 900 persons examined by German
oculists only one was found who had
normal vision, and he, strange to say,
saw nothing, as the generality Of man
kind see things. A star, for instance, to
him was perfectly circular figure, with
no radiating points, and he seemed to
be incapable Of recognizing lines and
projections essential to many geometri-
cal conceptions.
May not the myope and astigmatic
comfort himself, therefore, with the re.
Fiction that his vision, if in the strict
sense defective, has compensations not
to be lightly disregarded? Is it not bet
ter to see things in a picturesque way
with harsh outlines softened and with
variations in curves and angles in har.
mony with ones sense of beauty, than tc
be held rigidly to the letter of nature
and so find the external world an affair
Of blank monotony?-Boston Beacon.

A Boom Town in Kentucky.

Fifteen months ago." says man who
has just been there, ''there were not a
dozen people in Middlesborough, KY.
Now it has population of 5000. An
English syndicate worth $4,000, 900 is
building the town. They have spent
100000 in Strengthening a creek which
runs through it, and have encircled it
with seventeen mile dummy line.
They have put up electric cars and cleo
trio light and have about completed
seven furnaces.
Business buildings costing less than
$4,000 are not allowed to be built, and
lots are selling for as much as $3.50 a
front foot. The bonds of the circular
dummy line have been gobbled up at
115. The syndicate own 100000 acres
in and around the place and have already
realized $1,5O0,OO0 on the investment.
Mr.. Arthur, the manager for the syrdi-
cate, gets $35, 900 year for his services,
and last Christmas they made him a
present of $50, 0,000.-New York Tribune.

Fruit Scarce.

Housekeepers are put to their wits
ends this autumn for winter supplies in
the way of reishes and preserves. ALI
fruit is so scarce and so high that such
table goodies have become this year posi-
tive luxuries. In this regard Brooklyn
woman was overheard the other morning
to make remark nearly as unique in its
way as the famous one Of Marie Antoin-
ette anent the starving Partisan popu-
lace. Her Brooklyn prototype had in
quired the price of plums at grocer's
and resentfully replied to the high rate
he gave her: why, can preserve moth
ing this fall at such prices; my family
will have to live on canned and dried
fruits"-wholly overlooking the fact that
the French queens ''buns from the pas
try cooks" We're scarcely more accessible
than her alternative will be during the
coming season.-New York Times.

Improvements in Smoke Suppression.

Determined attempts are being made
in Chicago to suppress the binding
smoke that is blown ashore from passing
steam craft. An experiment was made
recently to demonstrate the practicable
ity of new invention. A small tube
with perforated top, like that in a
sprinkling can, was introduced into the
smokestack, and through this steam
could be injected upon the uprushing
smoke, which Immediately condensed.
The little tube, with its jets and sprays
of steam, is not smoke consumer, but
there seems little doubt of its S.ility in
the prevention of smoke.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.
