THE sAW-oUsT sWINDLE.
IT'S old as the Hills. But stm Pays Hand
some Profits.


Every community has percentage of
people who are on the alert for some
dishonest method of making money.
To such every rascally device that
promises quick return and large profits
is more fascinating than the most legit-
innate enterprise that calls for honest
endeavor. The so-called saw-dust
swindle has been worked for years CT
those who prefer to direct their talents
to rascality. The swindlers send out
circulars to persons who are expected tc
be influenced thereby, stating in most
mysterious terms that counterfeit green
backs which can not be detected by the
most experienced cashier may be pur
chased at a very low price. The cir.
cular pledges the recipient in the most
solemn manner not to divulge the Sc.
cret, and calls on the Almighty in every
line to witness the sincerity of the offer
and the truth of the statement that the
spurious notes are as sure to
pass current as the standard coin
of the Nation. If the recipient of the
circular be up to the required grade Of
dishonesty and credulity he opens nego-
tiations for the purchase of the spurious
greenbacks and gets robbed. The ad-
dress of the swindlers is always false,
and they obtain their mail in a rounda-
bout way through accomplices who
warn them of Danger. OF course no
counterfeit money is returned the dis
honest negotiator for his remittances,
and having made himself criminis by
trying to perpetrate a felony, he is
deferred from lodging a complaint
Agsinst the swindlers. The term saw
dust swindler originated in the fact
that the early perpetrators of the
scheme, who practiced their wiles di-
rectly on their victims and not through
the mails, handed them careful1y-sealed
boxes in return for the money paid for
the spurious notes. The victim was
not allowed to open the box until out
side the swindler's Office, and then it
was too late to obtain revenge, for the
thieves had fiown.-San Francisco

Golden wrote proverbs about luck
and labor. 1t would be we'll for boys to
memorize them. Luck is waiting for
something to turn up; labor, with keen
eyes and strong will, will turn up some
thing. Luck lies in bed, and wishes
the postman would bring him news of a
legacy; labor turns out at six o'clock,
and with busy pen or ringing hammer,
lays the foundation of a competence.
Luck whines; labor whistles. Luck
relies on chances; labor on character.
Luck strides down to indulgence; labor
strides upward to independence.-N. Y.

A STYLISH HAT

IS unquestionably quite an essential factor
in the makeup of a fashionably attired
lady. But how much more essential to
good looks, and especially to her enjoyment,
is good health, without which she cannot
look well, feel well or enjoy life properly
The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, tbs fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health of the hardi-
est: Ladies generally possess less powers of
endurance than their male consorts, and so
the sooner succumb to these deleterious in
fiuences. They become pale, haggard and
debilitated, and constantly experience a
sense of lassitude-that " tired feeling" as
so many express is. The least exertion
fatigues them. Various neuralgia and other
pains harrass and distress the sufferer.
