Queer Little Creature.

What funny animal mole is, is il
notp 1t looks as if it were always
asleep. suppose that you know the
mole lives underground, 1t makes
long burrow under the earth, finishing
up by making mound. You may fire.
quently see these mounds in country
fields. The mole makes these under
ground passages in search of food. 1t
devours all the worms and grubs it
comes across Many farmers believe
that the mole eats the roots of plants,
etc, and therefore kill it. Poor mole!
1t does nothing of the kind. 1t does
lust the opposite! 1t eats the grubs
and worms that eat rootsl You would
fancy that the mole, burrowing through
the soil, would get dirty. 1t does not,
however. No matter when you see a
mole, his skin is always the same
quite clean Another silly thing peo-
pie used to believe about moles was
that they had no eyesl 1t has got eyes,
but they are hidden by its hair. Truly
enough, these eyes are not very good
ones, but, anyhow, the mole can see.-

August
Flower

There is a gentle
Dyspepsia. man at Malden-on-
the Hudson, N. Y,
named Captain A. G. Pareis, who
has written us a letter in which it
is evident that he has made up his
mind concerning some things, and
this is what he says:
II have used SIour preparation
called August Flower in my family
for seven or eight years. 1t is con-
stantly in my house, and we consider
1t the best remedy for Indigestion,
and Constipation we
Indigestion. have ever used or
known. My wife is
troubled with Dyspepsia, and at
times suffers very much after eating.
The August Flower, however, re-
lieves the difficulty. My wife fire.
quently says to me when I am going
to town, We are out

and I think you had
better get another bottle I am also
troubledwith Indigestion, and when
ever l am, I take one or two tea
spoenfuls before eating, for day or
two, and all trouble is removed" @

Envy IsR Poison.

The greatest food has the soonest
ebb; the sorest tempest the most sud-
den calm; the hottest love the coolest
end; and from the deepest desire often
times ensues the deadliest hate. A wise
man had rather be envied for provi-
dence than pitied for prodigality. Re
venge hearketh only at the stars, and
spite spurns at that she can not reach
An envious man waxeth lean with the
fairness of his neighbors. Envy is the
daughter of pride, the author of muir
der and revenge, the beginner of Sc.
cret seditions and the perpetual tor

sediment of the soul; a venom, poi

1t seems as if textbooks for children
were now made SO simple as to leave
hardly any chance for misunderstand-

to commit to memory the words with
out much thought of their meaning.

traveller is all on the surface. The no.

would make an American workman
strike, simply because he has learned
to float through life; and the laborer is
equally happy on little because he has
learned to wait without much labor.
The gliding, easy motion of the gon-
dola expresses the whole situation; and
the gondolier who with consummate
skill urges his dreamy bark amid the
throng and in the tortuous canals for
an hour or two, and then sleeps in the
sun, is type of that rest in labor
which we do not attain. What happi.

facades; the moon wades among the
aeecy clouds; here and there barge

The Soldiers Fight.

Later developments in the free for all
fight, at the Grand Central saloon, back
of the new barracks on Government Hill,
Friday night, are being secured.
Stewart, the saloon keeper now in jail
for breaking the soldier, Prescott's head,
with monkey wrench, will be liberated
on bond by Justice Heron, as the soldier
is not so badly injured as reported.
Stewart seems not to be wholly to
blame for the matter, as he states the
soldiers were repeating an old racket of
theirs in ordering drinks and calling for
change without paying. They assaulted
him first as his black eyes and peeled nos
Jestities and he used the wrench in de-
fence. After he was arrested they COM
mitted malicious mischief by breaking
and wreckn. cve vtH,tg H. the saloon,
and it is SAID assaulted his wife, woman
in delicate condition, striking her with
rock. The case needs investigation on
both sides,
