CLEvBLAND's HEALTH GOOD.
Stories About His Mental and Physi-
cal Condition.

cal Condition.
NEW YORK, Sept. GA story has ap-
peared in various papers about ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland's phi ysical and mental health,
in which it was stated that the ex-president
is a sick man; that he spent his days in
moody silence, and grew so lethargic during
his vacation that his favorite pastime Of
fishing was relinquished, aud during the
day he spent most of his time in sleep. The
symptoms, the story said, alarmed Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends, and no one more than him
self.
Mr.. Cleveland was seen by a reporter TO-
day in his law office in William street. On
being shown the story he read it through,
aud then exclaimed: How absurd that
story is. really have no patience to deny all
these statements They are untrue; every
one of them. Don't you think look pretty
wells l never felt better in my life. /

MIAMI, FLA, Aug 29.-That big rattlers

Fay and May Barnes. living some five miles
from here, conclusively proves. The girls
were out berrylng last week, and went
down into the Pony Creek hammocks, a
wild and dismal stretch Of dark woods and
heavy underbrush. Late in the afternoon,
while getting ready to return home, May
stepped on a rotten log, which broke and
let her down into deep hole whicA it con-
cealed. AS she fell she heard dismal and
curious rustling, rattlug noise, but the fall
so scared her that she did not think what it
might mean. She screamed out loudly, and
Fay, who was a short way behind, came
running up. May then was in the hole,
only her head being visible.
Hurry up and help me QUIT" she
screamed, as her sister came up; there's
snakes in here, Pm sure" and the poor girl

Fay Set to work like brave frontier girl,

seemed an impossible task, as she had sunk

Springs ARK special to the Gazette gives an
account of terrible flood at that place last
night and this morning. The valley from one
end to the other is in ruins A heavy rain
set in yesterday afternoon and at midnight
the rain increased steadily until there came
a terrific waterspout. This, together with
the immense amount of ram prev
iously fallen. rushed down the mountain
side and swelled the creek at the base out
of its banks and deluged the main thor
oughfare and flooded stores the whole length
of the avenue. The water with its terrible
force carried away every movable object
before it, and this morning the avenue pre-
sents a scene not exceeded in the great
disaster by food to Hot Springs two wears
ago.
The Josephine hotel, Arlington, Little
Mercantile Company, Sithen & Dow, paints
and oil, ana other smaller places are among
the heaviest losers The cellars and first
hoors of all these were flooded and goods
totally destroyed. The loss to property

The family Of John N. Isbell. at their
home on the Madison shore, nave discov.
cred n queer way to capture humming
birds alive. Recently a small humming
bird which had frequented the flowers
on the veranda was observed teaching
two Of its young TO sip honey from the
buds. The old bird. rs well as the little
ones, was quite tame, but the latter were
evidently unskilled in the art Of extract
ing honey. Their efforts resulted in
running many of the tender flowers.
One Of the ladies on the porch tossed
n cap at the young intruders, as If to
warn them that they must take more
pains with their work or else seek flow
ers elsewhere. Tho old bird immedi-
ately resented this insult by falling
seemingly in a faint or trance, In this
condition she permitted herself to be
captured and inspected, but 1t wa OBJ
served that n eye was always open 10
take In the situation. Luckily for the
mother bird her captors soon released
her, placing her uninjured on the floor.
After Whiting till all was quiet, the old
bird came to life and took wing to rejoin
her young, who We're still engaged in

ABSOLUTELY PURE


1t is a well known fact that many peo-
pie find the last day of April the most
convenient time for moving to their
summer homes at the seashore or In the
country, although the suggestion that
this has anything to do with the rate OF
taxation in the two places where they
own houses would undoubtedly be re-
pudiated with scorn by many Of the
movers
There are some people, however, who
receive suggestions OF that kind with r
half hidden smile. and there are others
actually bold enough to say that they
prefer country taxes to those of the city.
There is one man in New England who
has learned to reduce his taxes to the
lowest possible figure, even ut considera-
BILE Inconvenience TO himself.
He owns a farm, which is only remark
able from the fact that it is in two states,
instead Of one. To mako the most Of
this peculiar advantage he has built his
house with its south side in one state
INT its north side in the other. while the
passer through his front door can ave a
foot in each state without the slightest
trouble.
A fence on the opposite side OF the
road marks the boundary line. In the
field which IL surrounds in one state are
numerous hen houses, large and com
Portable for their inhabitants. Close to
the fence in the other state is a row Of
loosely built, untidy looking hen houses,
into which the protesting hens and
chickens are hurried when taxation day
comes around, the secret Of the change
being that hens are taxed in one state
aud not in the other .-Youth's Compan-

In some portions of the world yellow
and red are the mourning %colors; the
Onentals generally adopt blue and white,
the Persians wearing a deep indigo, and
the Chinese a somewhat dingy, yellow
ish white. Pure white was at one time
worn by royal widows in France, but 1t
afterward fell into disuse. Purple is
the mourning color relegRted to the
church. Just Mt what period black be-
came the fashionable insignia of woe II
is difficult to determine, but for several
centuries past it has been generally nc
copied as such by civilized nations all
over the globe.
Among Christians it would appear a
somewhat dubious tribute from the living
tothe dead, as black is suggestive of chaos
and humiliation. while the white and
