Whisky of the Chinese.

Chinese whisky, according to the
New York World, is strong yet not
unpleasant liquor, distilled from rice
atleastso the story runs. 1t is brown in
color and not "heady," but you will
find your spirits rising and will be
inclined, when you have consumed e
great deal of this fluid, to make the
most extravagant demonstrations OF
good feeling. You will be gay without
knowing why, for your head will be as
clear as a bell
But alas for next morning. The
Chinaman usually drinks a pot OF
this with his dinner. It seems odd to
see whisky poured out ola tall, earthen-
ware, much pictured teapot. Where
more than two persons are dining the
liquor is poured from the pot into a
large bowl, dipped up as each feels
inclined, in tea-cups, which are about
the size of those generally found in a
doll's tea set. Each holds about as
much as the smallest pony glass in
which cordials are served, and there az
dozen Of these to q potful.

Living Firef1y Ornaments.

The most interesting thing L noticed
while | was away, says writer IN the
Kansas City Times, was habit that the
ladies of Chihuahua and Zacatecas have
of wearing tirefies for jewelry. The
legs of the flies are shaped like hooks,
and they appear to have been formed
expressly in the interest of the ladies:
These living diamonds sparkle and
shine more than any of the diamonds
of Africa or South America, for the fire
flies in that part of the world have a
rare brilliancv never witnessed in the
North. They will almost do for a lam
tern on dark night, SO beautiful and
strong is the light they give to the
World This habit Of wearing tirefiles is
INDUCED in by the ladies of the poorer
classes to large extent, and even the
society ladies often pick up the shining
brownies and fasten them in their hair
lust as an American girl will gather wild
flowers for similar purpose. So num-
erous are the frefiies in Mexico that l
was told that train on the Mexican
Southern Railroad was stopped by
these brownies, the engineer finding 1t
impossible to keep the wheels from
slipping as they crushed the lives out
OF millions of the insects.

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo-, during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia Of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: my food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I'had
such pains IN my left side. In the
morning when I got up | would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and | had
such queer, tunbling, pa1pitating
sensations around the heart. I ached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. / tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. 1t has done
me wonderful deal Of good during
the time I have taken it and is work
ing complete cure. " q

GOOD Manners.
From an Old Book.


We must be careful that all our looks
be full of sweetness, kindness and mod
esty, not affected and without grimaces
the carriage of the body decent, without
extraordinary or apish gestures; in
all our ordinary actions, be it in eating
or drinking, or the like, we must show
modesty, and follow that which is most
received among those with whom we
converse, for that courtier is but over
punctual who in country gentleman S
house will strictly practise all his forms
OF new breeding, and will not be content
to express his thanks and esteem to
others in the same manner and with the
same ceremony that he receives the
respect of others; his practice shows
like a correction of the other, and oft
puts the modest company into bashful
confusion, and constrained distrustful
behavior and conversation.
1t is necessary that a man who visits
ladies wear always good clohtes, even
to magnifcence, if he may do it with
out i'm pairing his fortune; the expense
we make in habits bears us through
alas an ingenious man once said, il
opens all doors to us and always pro-
cures US an obliging reception, and as
the exterior part, striking first the
sight, is that which makes the first i'm
preston on our spirits, doubtless we
ought to take some care to render that
impression favorable

Mahogany and Marble.

A traveller in Mexico speaks in terms
OF establishment of the magnificent con-
struction of the Mexican Gulf Railway,
on which the sleepers are of sound ma
hogany. and many of the bridges and
culverts are built of white marble.
Though this looks like lavish extrav-
agance, the constructors have found the
employment of these substances to be
economical, as both mahogany and
marble exist in abundance in the coun-
try traversed by the line. Similar con-
ditions existed not SO long ago in some
parts of the West Indies. In the island
of Jamaica it was the custom on some
of the sugar estates a few years ago to
cut down magnificent mahogany trees
for burning in the furnaces of the dis
tilleries, and to this day huge blocks of
marble are lying in the bed of some of
the Southern rivers of the island, prac-
tically valueless from the difficulty of
transporting them to the coast.

The Caprice OF Princess Ghika.


ES-Qlaeu N.stte of Servia is u
the only member Of the family who is
charged with being somewhat eccentric
in her behavior. Her sister, Princess
Ghika, who is both much prettier and
much more fascinating than the ex-
Queen, hates boys and adores girls--an
unfortunate caprice, seeing that her
only child is a son. When he was born
she literally rent the very heavens with
her bewailings that he was not girl
Nor was she comforted until some one
suggested that, for some years at least,
by little skillful management she
might hide the fact of his being one OF
the Objectionable sex. She acted upon
the hint, and even now, although the
child is a lad of ten, he wears flowing
curls, low neck, short, pulled sleeves,
and is, in fact, dressed exactly like girl,
and is called By girls name.

Through the Weary Hours

OF many night, made doubly long by its pro-
tracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer losses to
and fro on his sleeples5 couch, vainly praying
for that rest which only comes by tits and
starts His malady is one which ordinary med
icines too often fail to relieve but there IS
ample evidence to prove that the efficient
blood depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
affords the rheumatic reliable means Of relief.
Check the malady in its incipient stages, when
the first premonitory twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years of torture.
Whatever be the rationale of the active influ-
ence Of the Bitters upon this malady, certain it
is that no evidence relating to its effect Is more
direct and positive than that which relates to
its action in cases of rheumatism. Like all
sterling remedies, however, il deserves q Fro
tracted, systematic trial. and should not be
abandoned because not at once remedial. 1t is
equally etficacious in dyspepsia, indigestion
and kindred diSeaSes

Judge Emery, while holding court in
Augusta, told a good story about an
Eastern Maine lawyer the other day.
1t appears the lawyer has a number OF
liquor dealers as clients, and at the time
in question was trying to settle with
County Attorney Bailey two cases
against a seller by payment of one fine
and costs. The county official did not
want to do that, but insisted upon the
violator of the law paving the full
amount. The lawyer expostulated, but
it was no use, and at last, mad at his
failure, the liquor mans agent blurted
out: s'Well. we'll have to pay if you
say SO; but we want you to understand
for rather than stand this We'll so out OF
the business"

Regarding Contributory Ne:sli gence

Regarding COntributory NeSIi gence
From the Scientific American.
In an action to recover damages sus-
tanned by reason of negligence of an
other, when it appears that the one in
jured did not exercise himself the de-
gree of care due from him, it is Il cor
rect statement of the law in the case
that where both are guilty of negli-
gence the injured one cannot recover,
and that the law will not stop TO meas
ure the degree of negligence on the part
of the complainant. The question is
not as to which one is most negligent,
or as to which is most responsible for
the accident. If the one injured was
negligent at all, he cannot recover.

No one doubts that DR..

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but con call " in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that it's makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out Of one
hundred cases of Catasrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk Of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better
