On. WAY to Sell Cigars.

A South Illinois street druggist man

"a sum of money found on Tuesday last

Fscapades of Mazeppa.

Historically, Mazeppa was hetman Of
the Cossacks. He was born of noble
Polish family in Podolia, and became a
page in the court of Jan Casmir, king Of
Poland While in this capacity he in
trigued with Theresa, the young wife OF
a Podonian count, who discovered the
amour and had the young page lashed to a
wild horse and turned adrift. The horse
rushed in mad fury and dropped down
dead in the Ukraine, where Mazeppa was
released by Cossack family, who nursed
him carefully in their own hut. In time
he became secretary TO the hetman, and at
the death of the prince was appointed his
successor.
Peter | much admired his energy OF
character and created him prince of the
Ukraine, but in the wars with Sweden Ma
zeppa deserted 20 Charles XII, and fought
against Russia at the battle of Pultowa
After the loss Of this battle Mazeppa fed
TO Valentia and then to Bender. Some say
he died a natural death, and others that
be was put to death for treason By the
car. Lord Byron makes Mazeppa tell his
tale to Charles after the battle Of PultoTA

A New Jersey farmer has gun which
could give Kentucky mule lessons in

sorry now that he used such vicious
gun, the chances are ten TO one that he
would say no, he was glad Of it. You

A Cause of Bad Air in Honsaa,

A few of the causes which contribute to
eold and uncomfortable houses is the inn
perfect arrest of dampness from the soil
The only way Of securing q healthful
house is TO cut it off as much as possible
from the soil on which it stands. Ideally,
one may imagine q house standing on
stills or piers, having a free current of air
below and Q stair up to the floor, but this
would be unattainable under existing ar
rangements.
The next best thing is to obtain a well
ventilated cellar, or what is almost as
good, sufficient air space between the
ground and the floor, this space being vel
ventilated and the ground covered with
asphalt or concrete. There is an air spac,
below the floor, but it is generally rough
and unleveled surface of rubbish. with all
passages so scantily introduced, and otter
clogged up, that the air is in a state Of
stagnation, and the emanations from tbs
soil are sucked up into the house by th'
warmth and fires, particularly if hot all
furnaces are used
The moisture in the soil may bring
great deal Of impure air into the house
for ground air is not nearly so pure as tn,
air above the ground. To prevent the in
gress of this ground air a perfect asphalt
pavement on the cellar bottom is often re
sorted to with success.-Sanitsry News.

Women Who Should BE Pitied.

How can a woman make herself over so
as not to take things hardi l don't refer
to the easy going women, who come into
life well buttered, like hot biscuit, and
with a dab of honey to help 'em along;
refer to nervous, eager, impulsive women,
whose blood has pepper in it, and whom
destiny serves with mustard and caper
sauce instead of honey. How can such a
woman train herself to a serene poise of
mind wherein the besetting cares of life
affect her no more than shadows affect the
hills over which they hyi There's many
and many a woman today whom her
neighbors call scold or a slattern, or al
together unlovely, whose life has gone to
wreck on the rocks just through her fatal
facility to take things hard.
The frets and worriments Of life are the
snags in the channel that make dreary
wreck of peace and comfort. From the
time of teeth cutting. when no other baby
ever had so perilous time, down to the
welcome hour when death stands knocking
At the outer gate, these women always have
b hard time of it. A disappointment that
TO less sensitive nature causes but
transient panE, to them brings hopeless
despair. A domestic tiff means eternal

deluge and every cloud foretells TEN pest.
These unfortuuates find no rest and yield
none. They are always vibrating like the
chords of harp rudely smitten- They
are stabbed a dozen times & day by idle
words that were not meant to wound.
They are sighted and insulted and
snubbed, according to their morbid notion,
when nobody ever intended to modest
them. They go through life like lobster
without its she'll Their skin is thinner
than rice paper; their heart is pinned upon

Young Girls ON Horseback.

We can look upon the declaration OF
Young America for sport with supreme
qualification, as it argues well for the gen
Grafton to come, but we should not lose
sight of the fact that its benefits may be
more than counterbalanced by injudi-
ciously forcing these tastes. That there il
danger of this is shown by the tendency to
put girls on horseback at an age much too
tender to have other than harmful results.
1t is marvellous that mother who is usu-
ally most careful in guarding her child's
safety should allow her little one to incur
the risks attendant upon riding (which are
great enough for a person endowed with
strength, judgment and decision) without
thought of the dangers she is exposed to at
the time or what may be the evil effects in
the future.
Surely parents do not realize what the
results may be, or they would never trust
a girl of eight years or thereabout to the
mercy of a horse, and at his mercy she is
bound to be. No child of that age or sew
eral years older has strength sufficient
even to manage an unruly pony, which,
having once discovered his power, is pretty
sure to take advantage of it at every op
portunity. Even if no accidents occur, tn.
knowledge of her helplessness may so
brighten the child that she will never re-
cover from her timidity. 1t is nonsense to
say she will outgrow it; early impressions
are never entirely eradicated, and should
she in after life appear to regain her cour-
age, at critical moment it will desert her
and early recollections reassert themselves.

A Radical Woman Doctor.

DR.. Gertrude B. Kelly is one of the radi-
Gals of New York. Though of the same
name, she is not related to the Penusyl-
vania congressman's daughter, with whom
she differs in opinion as widely as both do
from their conventional sisters. DR.. Kel-
ly's shingle hangs out at 325 East Seven
tenth street. She is physician to the
Working Girls clubs and the Working
Girls Benevolent society. Her house is
filled with rare engravings and works of
history and political economy. To look at
this sweet faced, blue eyed little body, with
soft, curly brown hair, drawn loosely back
from low, broad forehead, no one would
dream of her extreme ideas. A little club
of Russians and Germans meet in her par
Iors each Wednesday evening in summer
and each Sunday in winter. DR.. Kelly
was born in Tipperary, Ireland, less than
thirty years ago. Her parents were both
school teachers. They came to this coun-
try when she was quite young. She re-
ceived her early education in New York
and was graduated from the Woman's
Medical college of the New York inirmary.

The Millionaire,s Daughter at School.

Even in schools that refuse to accept
girls unless there is a reasonable chance of
their getting through the year, it is not
unusual for one-third to be entered by
their parents with the warning that their
daughters are delicate and will need spe-
cial consideration and watching-a warn
ing in all probability followed by the re-
quest that they shall not be bothered
with mathematics" These weakly ones,
if their mothers leave them alone, and il
they themselves become interested in their
work, by dint of three or four extra hours
for rest and exercise, manage to hold out
through the year. and frequently end it in
improved health. But unless these two
conditions are fulfilled they often fall by
the way.
Nervousness, backache, weakness, loss
of appetite generally follow soon upon the
realization that school means work. A
hard lesson to be mastered lays girl low
with a headache or dissolves her in floods
of tears Tears, indeed, especially during
the first part of the year, are of daily down

greet the refusal to allow boxes of candy,
tears fall copiously when overshoes are in

The Dog versus Baby.

The meanest and the smallest cur stands
no chance with an infant, to which all
womaukind seems to respond. But,
strangely enough, a new mother who is
expected to be, and has right to be, silly
about her child, is far less silly than she
would have been in maidenhood if she had
run to poodles and the like. She would
not SO fondle her dearest baby in public,
would not so babble delightful nonsense in
its attentive ear, as she would have done
with the canine glamour in her eyes, and
the canine mania in her brain.
A mother feels, despite her absorbing
love in and conservation to her babe, that
she should confne her raptures to the
household. to the private circle, and not
bore and annoy unsympathetic strangers
with them Not so the dog worshiper.
She flaunts her disorder in everybody's
face; forces it on universal attention. Is
not this the best evidence that her worship
