1t is reported that Southern beau
ties are sweeping everything before
them at the summer resorts, and
some Northern exchange says "be-
ware of them, if they do not crown
you they will strangle you" Yet
reason can do little against the face
of Southern beauty; the first i'm
pulse, the irresistible instinct of
mans nature is homage to physical
beauty. 1t has a mystic power that
sweeps down all before it, the strong
est and the wisest. A French
writer says, with the eloquent ex-
travagance of his nation and iodIom:
what can equal a woman's beauty!
Nature made the planets and the
stars-well enough in their way
and the flowers and the waving trees
and the red sunset crimsening the
ocean-very praiseworthy effects all
of them and evidences of soul en-
dowed with fine sensibilities; but to
have invented woman, with the rose,
tinted white of her complexion, her
hair, her lips, her eyes, her hand, the
marble roundness of her arm-this
was beyond the power of nature,
with all her skies and sunsets and
suns and stars. To create woman
required the genius of God"

EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE.

A blacksmith is a braway muscled
man, usually of ruddy features indi-
catiYe of his health. clever in the art
of horseshoeing or shaping pillow,
useful to his fello G men and in small
places can sometimes make a success
of carpentering and doing little
wood work in connection with his
trade, but he can't run a newspaper
and job office, hold the mirrow up
to nature, shape the destinies of
nations and make statesman, after
having spent so much of his time at
the former occupation as to become
an expert in that line, as evidenced
by the demise of the Mirrow at
Thornton, which some of our ex-
changes announce has ceased, and
the proprietor Mr.. Parker, gone
back to his trade at which it is added
he was an expert. He was a good
carpenter, but like great many
other people thought he could run a
newspaper without experience. He
tried it and the result is the history
of thousands that have gone before.
He failed. Running a newspaper is
like any other business. You must
learn how, and the apprenticeship
takes time to those that succeed,
and oftentimes lot of cash for those
who think they know before they
find out their mistake.

CAPTURED A BLACKSMITH.

The Pretty Little Romance That is just Now
Interesting Washington.
New York world.l
Washington society just now is discussing
a romance. 1t concerns society. because it
deals chiefly with the recent eccentric mar
riage of a pretty girl whose father made a
fortune out of supplying flowers for WASH
ington receptions and other entertainments.
His name is John Cammack. After sup
plying flowers to Washington society for a
generation and making money out of the
proceeding he stopped supplying flowers
ami offered to supply himself and family,
with rather favorable results for Mr.. Cam
mack.
He has house on what is known as the
Seventh street road and he lived there in
great comfort and considerable elegance.
The daughter. a tall, graceful girl and
blonde. lived there also, and, it seems, dis
covered recently that there was black
smiths shop in the neighborhood presided
over by young and handsome blacksmith.
She got into the habit of visiting the black
smith shop and listening to the anvil chorus
precisely as though she were Boston
maiden with an enthusiasm for music, and
allowed her attention occasionally to stray
from the anvil chorus to the anvil chorister,
with the result that she began to entertain
for the vigorous young man a very vigorous
admiration.
This finally brought about marriage in
Baltimore, when Miss Cammack became
Mrs. Arlington Hardesty. That is the name
the blacksmith was able to give her. 1t is
expected that Miss Cammack's parents will
accept the inevitable and that a reconcilia-
ton will be effected.

INITIATING STRAIGHT GOODS.
All Kinds of Liquors Can be Counterfeite,
Beyond Detection.

All Kinds of Liquors Can be Counterfeited
Beyond Detection.
There is not liquor made, not brand of
whisky, or brandy, or any of the bitters that
cannot be initiated so perfectly as to defy
detection. 1t will analyze chemically the
same as the Straight" goods. The basis of
these manufactured or counterfeit drinks is
cologne spirits, which is only the second
distillation OF highwine. The first distilla-
tion produces alcohol, the second cologne
spirits. This contains all the intoxicat-
ing qualities without the odor OF
alcohol. Its cost remains around the
dollar mark. The simple addition of
coloring matters, bead oil to produce
the little air bubbles, and age the mixture, a
drop or two OF the particular oil needed,
according to the character of liquor to be
manufactured, some glycerine, syrup and
water. and you are ready to do business.
Here is a standard recipe: $40 make rye,
bourbon, Scotch or Irish whisky take 40
gallons of cologne spirits, one quart of gly-
cerine, two ounces of bourbon or rye oil or
four ounces OF Scotch or Irish, according to
the brand desired to be made. To age the
mixture add one ounce of raisin oil. The
cost OF the 40 gallons foots up about $47."

BETRAYED HIS TRUST.

A Confidential Clerk Comes to Grief by
Trying to Live Too High.
Van j. Abel, the confidential clerk of L.
81. Harris & Co., wholesale druggists, has
fallen from grace through a love of gaiety
and questionable methods of obtaining the
necessary money. The young man is mar
ried, and has a beautiful home on Ridge
avenue, Allegheny. The house was ele-
gantly furnished, and the young man has
been living high for some time. He went
TO such extravaganza that bis neighbors were
surprised. Diamond rings, costly jewelry,
and all the requisites of the highest fash
ionable society were common things
with him. At last. the crash came.
His firm became apprised of his lavish
use of money, and began to look at
their books. Their suspicious finally ended
in the discovery that some $4,000, SO it is
said, of their money was missing. Abel
was called into the office last Friday and
confessed. He was quietly arrested and his
father telegraphed for. The latter came,
and the young man is now out on bail,
pending a settlement.
The firm did not wish to prosecute the
young man, and after it were on the safe
side tried to hush the matter up in every
wav possible. Abel is only % years old.
His parents are respectable and well-to-do
residents Of Washington, Pa.

A BRIDES PRAYER BOOK.
How a Clever Young Lady Got a Handsome
One for Her Wedding.

How Clever Young Lady Got Handsome
One for Her Wedding.
According to a New York jeweler a
young lady called at his store one morning
and asked to have some prayer books shown
her. She examined the stock pretty
thoroughly and finally selected two that
pleased her very much. She wasn't quste
sure, however. which one she would decide
on finally, and wanted the advice of her
mother. She paid for one and had it sent
home with the stipulation that ifher mother
thought the other prayer book would be the
better she might return the next day and
exchange it.
The following morning her servant ap-
peared at the jewelers. store with short
note and the prayer book in question. In
stead of asking for the other book, however
the note stated that the young lady had re-
solved not to make her purchase until ac-
companied by her mother, and would the
jeweler kindly return the money in the
meantime. The money was given to the
servant, of course.
One of the firm in glancing over an even
ing paper noted the interesting fact that the
young lady had been married the night be-
fore. He came to the very natural con.
elusion that the prayer book had been used
for the occasion, and that the occasion for
its use having passed, the book had been
returned. The jeweler who tells this story
declares that other society girls who belong
to families with more social position than
money have attempted somewhat similar
device. But the scheme never met with any
success except in the case here spoken of.

duty of $500 car on American cattle does
not seem to worry the commission men at
the stock yards here, though the matter was
freely discussed to-day. Major Powers, Vice
President of the National Cattle Growers
Association, said in an interview: 1--WE
receive more stock from them than they do
from us. The effect will be to prevent those
engaged in the business from carrying it
farther, and will make residents of Mexico
eat beef raised there. The effect is bao. !"
c. W. Baker, Secretary of the Chicago Live
Stock Exchange, said: "It is spite work,
and will not last long"
A dispatch from Kansas City says: Re-
garding the prohibitory Mexican duties on
American cattle, the following dispatch
from the City of Mexico received here to-
day seems to be authentic:
"There is no additional duty on live stock
other than that which has been in force dur
ing the past 12 months. The tariff is being
revised, and should new duty be imposed
bv the Government due notice and time
will be given shippers" The dispatch is
signed by The Too Republics newspaper.
