sat the foreign ministers and the delegates to

disagreeable was the fact that our own great
men were by far the best looking persons on
the floor, as rule. 1t seemed a pity that
they should spoil their fine effect by such an
attitude. But it is the common fault Of

South Americas Pampero.

A strange natural phenomenon Is the pam
pero, South American storm wind. 1t Is
thus described: A light breeze had been
blowing from the northeast, but had steadily
increased in force and brought with it the
heated air Of the tropics, which, passing over
a treeless pampa country exposed to the
burning sun rays of a clear sky, SO warns up
the atmosphere on the shores of the Rio de la
Plata that its effect upon human beings Is e1-
ceedingly bad. This state of things generally
lasts for week or longer, until the sitting
heat becomes unbearable, and the inhabitants
are seen resting in grass hammocks or lying
on bare floors, incapable OF e1ertion.
However, relief is close at hand. A little
cloud mo bigger than mans hand" is first
seen to rise above the water, then the heavens
grow black with clouds, and the battle of OPP
posing winds begins. The paInpero advances
with its artillery well IN front; forked flashes
of vivid lightning, followed by peals of thun-
der, bear down upon the foe, who, quite up
to the moment of attack, is fercely discharg-
ing its fiery breath on the surrounding re-
gions. The inhabitants now climb on the
azorteas or fiat roofs, to watch the struggle
and to be the first to participate in the de-
licious relief brought by the pampero to their
fevered bodies.
Far out on the river curious sight may
be seen; the opposing waves, raised by the
rival winds, meet like a rush of cavalry in
wild career; their white horses with foaming
crests dash themselves against each other and
send clouds of dazzling spray high in the air :;
this, being backed by an inky sky, renders the
scene most imposing. Gradually the north
easter gives way, followed closely by its enc
my, the pampero, which throws out skirmish-
ing currents of ice cold wind in advance OF
its final onslaught. Then comes the roar of
the clements, and deluge such as no one
would willingly encounter, and cooler wealth
er is established for the time being.-Cleve-

She was proud lady, and rich one, too,
as indicated by the fact that she owned a
pew in one of Chicago's most fashionable
churches. She wore large diamond earrings
and a costume most elaborate. In fact, she
carried with her an atmosphere of ultra re-
spectability which was almost oppressive, as
she entered church last Sunday a trife late,
and observed from a distance that her pew
was already occupied, and by strangers.
Walking down the aisle, with her nose in the

A Tale Which Shows That to Know It
All Is Not Always to Be Wise.
We were waiting on the depot platform in
q new town in Alabama, and as the dozen Of
US walked up and down some one espied q
wasps' nest hanging on a bush across the
track. He pointed it out as a wasps' nest,
but short, solid man, who had head like q
cannon ball and jaw denoting great firm
ness of character, at once replied:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but you have
made the very common mistake of chasing
the wasps with the hornets. That is a hor-
nets nest"
And / beg your pardon, sir" protested
the other, who was planter, "but hornets
don't nest that way. They build mud houses
under the caves of old buildings, and one
won't sting you unless you pick him up. My
niggers declare that no wasp can sting if
he wants to, while, on the contrary, hor-
nett
Il beg to differ with you, sir" interrupted
the solid man; that is a wasps' nest. You
are right about the wasp being peaceful in

cure for quinsy."
do you know a hornet from wasp!'
Il should remark!'
''Well, when you get through with that
nest | want you to tell me whether it was oc-
cupied by hornets or wasps, Gentlemen, look
out for yourselvesr'
He started for the woods and we followed,
and when we reached a safe distance and
looked back, the man with the iron jaw was
just cutting off the limb which held the nest
He held it up and called to Us to come and see
it, but his call was followed by yell which
would have done credit to Comanche war
rior with double Adams apple in his throat
The big yell was followed bya series of boots,
whoops, EXPLANATIONS and CALCULATIONS, and
these were accompanied by gymnastics of an
intricate character. He jumped, lodged,
twisted and cavorted, and finally started
down the track on gallop. Seventy min
utes later, and just as the train whistled, he
came out of the woods dead lame one eye
shut, his nose as big as his fist, and his head
bare.
Hornets or wasps2" queried the planter.
Hornets, by thunder!" groaned the victim
as he hurried to get his valise New York
Sun.

The voyager cannot be provided with a
safer remedy and protective medicine than
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Abundant
testimony exists to prove that it nullifes
hurtful climatic influences and the effects
ef exposure, that it reconciles the stomach
to unaccustomed food, and prevents in
furious results from impure water. Marin
ers, tourists, emigrants and miners have
all contributed their quota Of testimony in
its behalf, and its protective intiaence-h has
been most effectually demonstrated in
regions and under conditions where, if not
really effective. that fact would long since
have been exposed. In no class of disorders
have its remedial and preventive properties
been more conspicuously shown than in
cases of malarial fevers, maladies for
which it is the most popular specific in ex :

its reputation is scarcely second to that
which it enjoys on this continent. 1t is,

which you sent at the suggestion of Hon
Wesley Redhead, reached US soon after the
great hood and at time when diarrhea
was quite prevalent. AS soon as it became
known that / had the medicine for distri-
button, there began great run on it,
which continued until it was about ali
gone. Every one, so far as ! heard from
them, testified to its virtues, declaring it
the best medicine for the purpose they had
ever used. Those who got it shared it
around with their neighbors, so that | am
confident your generosity in sending it was
productive of great good. We used some
of ii ourselves and found it not only an ex-
cellent medicine for diarrhna, but for all
kinds of pain and uneaSiness in the stomach
