The biggest fee ever paid a New
York lawyer for the settlement OF an
estate has just been received by VIII
liam Nelson Cromwell, who took in
$25O.OOO for winding up. as assignee.
the bankrupt estate of Decker, Howell
Il Co. This fortune was earned in
less than two months. He took hold
of the estate of these brokers when
they were forced into bankruptcy last
fall: he has handled many millions of
dollars, he has paid of all their credit
ors. and enabled the firm to resume
again, and when they began business
one nor they found they bad nearly
$4,000. Ii was a brilliant exploit
of Cromwel's, although he was helped
somewhat by = rising market. Mr..
Cromwell is a slender little man who
hurries along Wall street without
recognizing anybody.

In the long series of admirable
speeches made by President Harrison
on his recent trip, there is none more
worthy of commentator than the
following. made at Denver, where he
was speaking of the American public
school system. Said he: These com-
mon schools are not simply nurseries
OF intellectual training: they are nur-
series ofcilizenship." 1t is to be noted
that there is in this no room for the
iallaciOus theory that the school should
teach religious dogma Morality is
one Of the qualifications of good citi-
zenshir, lHt il can be inculcated with
out bringing in the teaching of any
theological tenant. A nan can be
moral without being connected with
any church. but he can not be really
religious without being moral. Nor
atty is II OF the factors ofa religious
life. hut religion is not a necessary
factor Of morality.

Wanted to See the Soldiers.

A wealthy New York lady who has
travelled much abroad, but who know:
very little about her own country, wa:
in Washington a few days ago for the
first time. She was taken to the White
House by al influential friend, and
through his intercession the private
apartments of the house were opened up
to her, and she had an exceptional op
p~ortunity to inspect the numerous beau
ties of the dignifed but modest mansion.
AS she was being helped into her car
rage on departing. a shade of disap
pointment was detected in her face.
well, what do you think of it," he1
friend inquired.
Il must confess to a very keen disap-
p~ointment," was the reply. The rooms
are all very prettily decorated, and some
Of them are dignitied and impressive,
but | am sorry not to have seen the

1t appeared on further inquiry that
this un-Americanized New Yorker had
fully expected to find the presidents
mansion surrounded by a military guard
in full uniform, and she was vehement
in her assertions that the German way
was lever so much better than ours

Has the lace trimming of the dressing

washed, it will still have the "done
over" look. Rip it off, thoroughly shape
and brush, then press it a little to fat

or table, with several thicknesses of
newspaper beneath it. Use a half inch
wide bristle brush and put on paint
made from dye freely. The paper will
absorb the extra moisture. If dyed all

When the lace is nearly dry, press it
with a hot iron over a padded board, as
though it were embroidery.
Any of the thin laces, especially Valen,

tints, thus bringing out the pattern eff,

Mans Duty to Man.

The father may think to hide certain
parts Of his character from his child, not
wishing him to initiate them, and may
give him precepts that he has never fol,
lowed, but the child absOrbs what he
fancies is concealed and forgets the
words which contradict it. Commands
and exhortations may produce or re-
strain certain acts, but they are power
less to inspire emotions or create desires.
Often they have a reverse effect.
To give every one his due, to refrain
from taking unfair advantage, or in
any way enriching ones self at the ex
pense of another, are supposed to be du'
ties which are simply to be inculcated
and obeyed, yet how is the desire Of
gain, so intense in many minds, to be
made to yield when it conflicts with
these duties? Chiefly by crediting with.
in the breast a stronger desire for justice
and integrity. The love of rectitude
the faith in honor, the desire to dea
fairly and squarely with all men, must
be aroused and strengthened before any
II can be thoroughly and truly just
And the same is true with regard tt
every good quality.-Philadelphia Led

The Water in Utah's Great Lake.

Salt Lake is by nc means a saturated
solution of salt, yet it is five or six times
as rich in salts as the ocean, and nearly
as strong as the Dead sea. In summer
it contains between 20 and % per cent.
of salt, the saturation point not being
reached until the salt forms a little over
a third of the liquid. There are all
through the great basin numerous saline
lakes and ponds, but none Of the size
and importance of this in Utah. Not
infrequently they are shallow and en-
tirely disappear during the dryness and
heats Of summer, leaving to mark their
sites only a stretch of some acres-or it
may be miles-of clay oil mud, entirely
covered with salt.-Goldthwaite's Geo

Use Kings Royal Germetuer

Wherever the test has been made there
is no questioning the fact that Germetuer
will cure LaGrippe in all forms and at
all stages. Taken on the first symptoms
it will prevent a severe attack taken
when the disease has you fast in its
clutches it will break its grasp taken
after the disease has left you disabled 1t
will remove the effects.
DIR. p. s. HENSON, of Chicago, after
using one bottle, talks as follows:
AN almost fatal attack of LaGrippe,
last winter, left me with nasal catarrh
and such susceptibility to bronchial irri-
tation that the slightest exposure would
develop it, and a very little effort in pub
lie speaking would result in a distressing
ho~arseness, so that had serious fears Of
permanent disability.
Besides, | suffered with dyspeptic
troubles-notably what is popularity
known as 'heart-burn,' from which |
found it difficult to obtain relief. | was
induced by a friend to try Kings Royal
Germetuer, and it gives me great pleas
ure to say that its effect has been as
magical as 'Koch's Lymph is reported
to be, which is also a germ destroyer,
though taken in a different way.
"Catarrh, bronchial irritation and dys
pepsia have all disappeared before one
bottle of Gernetuer has been used.
Zone of my sons, who has long been a
sufferer from catarrh, has received like
signal relief from his old enemy
"A prominent physician of Atlanta, Ga
after giving it a thorough trial on attack
of cold almost equal to LaGrippe, said
hat he did not believe that Germetuer
would cure every thing, but he KNEW
that it would cure a bad cold.
In cases of fevers attending colds il
will remove the cause. If your drnggis'

WeiSht of Paper Money.

In the treasury here one day the ques-
ton came up as to the weight Of a dollar
bill. Scales of perfect accuracy were
brought into requisition, and the sur
prising discovery was made that twenty
seven dollar notes weighed exactly
as much as a twenty dollar gold piece.
The latter just balances $40 grains.
However, the bills weighed were per,
fectly crisp and new. Trial made with
soiled notes, such as come in every day
for redemption, showed that twenty
seven Of them weighed considerably
more than the twenty dollar coin. Every
paper dollar on its way through the
world continually accumulates dirt, so
that after a year of use it is perceptibly
heavier.-Washington Letter.

jim AND JOE.

Yes, there was Jim, and sure's you're born
1here never was a better fellow:
"hen things went wrong he didn't growl,
Nor curse his luck, nor groan, nor below:
B~ut-racking long the same old way
He'd light his pipe ana 60 to smokin,
IlIl things came round all right again,
With Jim still laughin and a-jokin.
Then there was Joe; with him, you see,
Nothin was ever goin squarely.
He'd swear the world was near its end
Cause some one hadn't traded fairly;
Good men were just about played out,
The devils reign was drawing nearer;
Somehow-just why he could not tell
The world was CROWN queer n queerer.
Well, as it happened, Jim was poor,
And, as it happened, Joe was wealthy;
Jim, he was rather small and weak
Joe was a giant, strong and healthy;
Yet when it came to sheer content,
And light'nin some one else's trouble
By smilin Ger his own, why Jim
Could just beat Joseph more than double.

ROwed Forty Miles for Amusement.

about forty miles; at any rate, l know
that Mr.. Holly had to rise before day
light in order to get home with the COWS

to speak Of with a proud, beaming eye,

exactly why a man should care to row

PrOductS of Mexico.

Although the soil of Mexico and its
tropical location are both favorable to
agriculture, the lack of energy of its
working population, combined with the
lack of a sufficient water supply, neu-

the production of corn, beans, coffee,
sugar and other kinds of products are
barely sufficient to supply the home de-
