A substitute for steal.

An odd cargo Of Afric an vegetable
fiber, tough as steel itself, is being
landed in Philadelphia from the Italian
bark Nuova Monde. The vessel brought
two thousand two hundred and thirty
six bales of it from Oran, an Algerian
seaport in the Mediterranean sea. The
fiber has been found to be SO elastic
that it can be used as substitute for
springs and the like in the manufac-
ture OF furniture back sand seats. It is
expansive and SO easily affected by
higher temperatures in it's dry state
that the bales are held in place by
bands of heavy steel. The popularity
OF the grass is that it thrives only
around the volcanic mountain slopes
OF Oran and fourishes up to within q
short distance of the craters them
selves. The latter are always in a
semi-active state, and the earth around
is SO warm that not plant of any
kind can thrive or is ever seen to grow
except this steel-lilse plant. When dry
and hattcned out it will pierce body
like an arrow.

WIVES SOLD IN ENGLAND.
Instances of Barter Cleaned from the
Public Prints.

1nstances of Barter Cleaned from the
Public Prints.
French travellers, when describing the
moral and social aspects of England,
rarely forget, says Notes and Queries,
to inform their readers that it is
customary in this country for men to
sell their wives, like any ordinary
chattel. in open marietta fact (for fact
It appears to bc) that we one and all
repudiate. The following paragraph
appeared In the Washington Journal
recently
"A WIFE SOLD IN HALTER..On
Monday, at Wakefield, in case in
which Samuel Ecclcs, miner of Aller-
ton-By-Water, was summoned for the
maintenance of his child, it was stated
that defendant and his wife had been
separated since June. 1887, and that the
woman was sold in halter in the
Borough market hotel. Wakefield. for
half guinea, and went away with an
other tnan."
As pendant to this transcribe the
following account from the Lady's
Magazine for 1916:
"SMITHFIEI.D BARGAIN. N.-Onc of those
scenes which occasionally disgrace
even Smithficld, took place lately there
namely, man exposing his wife for
sale. Hitherto we have only seen those
moving in the lower classes Of society
thus degrading themselves. but the
present exhibition was attended with
some novel circumstances. The parties,
buyer and seller. were persons Of
property The lady (thc object of sale),
young. beautiful and elegantly dressed,
was brought to the market in coach
and exposed to the view. of her
purchaser. with silk halter round her
shoulders, which were covered with q
rich white lace veu The price de-
manded for her in the frst instance
was eighty guineas, but that finally
agreed on was fifty guincas and valu-
able horse upon which the purchaser
was mounted. The sale and delivery
being complete, the lady, with her new
lord and master, mounted handsome
curricle which was waiting for them
and drove off, seemingly nothing 10th
to go. The purchaser in the present
case Is q celebrated horse dealer in
town and the seller grazier Of cattle
residing about six miles from London.
The intention OF these disgusting
bargains is to deprive the husband Of
any right of prosecution for damages"

An Electric Thief Catcher.

The inventions for preventing thefts
from show cases are numerous, and
electricity is now being brought into
use in connection with them. A Minne-
sofa man has in the bottom Of his show
case a number of metallic slips, and the
tray has spring clips for holding the ar
ticles to be exhibited, the clips being
connected electrically and held open by
the articles. The tray has contact
points bearing on the metallic strips,
which are in the circuit Of battery and
an alarm bell. When an article is re-
moved from any one Of the clips the
contact points come together, close the
circuit and give an alarm. II an article
be removed when the tray is out of the
case the alarm is sounded when the tray
is put back.

Three OF Every Four

Diseases which afflict mankind are due
to disorders of the blood. In fact, If the
vital fluid is kept in good condition, the
tendency to any disease is lessened by
three-fourths. A harmless vegetable
remedy, which cleanses the blood, should
be taken occasionally by every one. In
the young it assists in the development
OF the body and mind. In the adult, it
helps nature to keep up the equilibrium
OF strength, which is taxed by the labor
and cares of life. To the old and those
with the infrmjties of age, it is invalu-
able for its tonic and STRENGTHENING
powers, to prevent diseases which are so
often fatal to old people. This remedy
is Swift's Specific rs. S.S.) It clears out
all the germs and poison, and builds up
the human organism. We will mail free
a valuable book to oil applicants.

YOUR HORSES COLOR.

Long Existing Belief That It Has Much
to Do With His Speed.
Among the cherished superstitions OF
sportsmen is the belief that the color OF
horses has much to do with their chances
Of victory in races and exhibitions OF
power. Whence came the superstition
it is difficult to say. 1t has existed, &C
cording to the New York Tribune, for
centuries, not only among Europeans,
but among Arabs, those "kings of the
DESERT" whose knowledge of the horse
is proverbial
In an ancient Arabian manuscript,
according to L'Echo de Paris. recently
discovered, is passage proving that
the belief in the relations between
horses color, power and speed has long
existed in Arabia. as
"A great sheik of the Sahara. sd runs
the tale, Ben Dyab by name, was ono
day pursued by Sandel Zenatis, his
most deadly enemy In the fight Ben
Dyab turned suddenly to his son.
"Tell me-" he commanded, what
horses are at the head of our enemies!"
Tho whites, father" replied the
son.
THAT is WE'LL" came Ben Dyab's
answer. 1--WE shall allow the sun to its
work. The power OF the white horses
will disappear before its rays as butter
melts when they foil upon it,"
After a time the sheik spoke again:
my son, what horses are now near
est our heels?"
"The blacks, father" came the boys
answer.
Excellent" cried the old man. "The
stony ground will overcome the powers
OF the black animals. Even the negro
OF the Soudan becomes tired at the
ankles when he walks over stony
ground"
On went the flight. A third time Ben
Dyab turned to his companion.
(which ones are now ahead?"
'The browns and the chestnut
browns, father" came the boys an
swer.
'Then," cried the sheik, 1--WE must
fly faster, or we are lost. There is no
time to lose. These horses can overtake
us"

A concern trying to introduce new
baking powder has adopted methods to
bring it before the public that are liable
to get its members, as well as its en-
ployes, into trouble. One OF their
schemes is to send women from house
to house to defame other brands and
falsely charge that they are adulterated
This charge being untrue, the women
are performing an illegal act for which
they are liable to arrest and imprison-
ment The character Of baking powder
that would be sold by men who, for
mercenary purposes, will employ women
to do such dishonorable and dangerous
work as this, can be imagined.
There is more serious difficulty, how.
ever, in view. These agents personally
and in advertisements assure the public
that all the Ingredients Of this new
powder are printed upon the liable of
each can, and sell it upon this guarantee.
Some purchasers have learned from the
Government reports that this powder
has in its composition other things,
notably lime and sulphuric acid. 1t is
not pure powder, and being sold by
means of false statements and misrepre.
sentation, its agents are already in trouble.
A false label upon any package makes
the sale of it illicit by the retailer and
wholesaler alike.

HER FAMOUS LOTION for removing
tan and freckles and making the skin
soft and white has no equal. 1t is chem
ically pure, as the testimonial of your
druggist (who examined it) will tell you,
HER DANKE SCHONE for removing
wrinkles and preventing them from
coming is simply perfect, as the testi.
mony of hundreds of ladies will prove.
HER CREAM BALM is indispensable
as it keeps the skin in perfect health and
beautifully soft and white, acting on the
skin as Sapolio does on the skin
makes it smooth and hard.
HER FRENCH CURLlNE will keep
the most stubborn hair in curl, and its
constant use tends to make the hair
soft and pliable. A trial is all that is
necessary to insure favor for it.

Three Features Of the Mckinley Bill

Three Features Of the Mckinley Bill.
1t Is amusing to witness the strug-
giles of the free trade organs with the
Mckinley bill. The growth of this
measure in popularity is almost as
great a surprise to its friends as 1t
must have been to its enemies. Cam
paign prices turned out to be campaign
lies, and the people are beginning to
realize phases Of this bill which were
almost entirely overlooked in the cam
paign last fall. First came the treaty
with Brazil, illustrating the automatic
reciprocity feature of the Mckinley
bill. Within a few DAYS the duty will
be abolished on sugar, and it is said
the price will take a sudden drop.
Then there is that clause providing for
free importation of raw material to be
manufactured into articles for export,
giving the American manufacturers
equal footing with his transatlantic
competitors for all foreign trade.
Here we have reciprocity, free sugar
and free raw material. The. meaning
of this is an enormous reduction in the
burden Of taxatlon, advantageous terms
for the admission Of American goods
into foreign markets, and free raw
material out of which to manufacture
these exports. Besides absolutely pro.
tecting the home market, the Mckinley
bill has thus reduced unnecessary tax
alton and opened up important South
American markets to the products Of
our soil, mines, workshops and mills.
1t has been q glorious achievement
and the people are just awakening to
what has really been accomplished.
Free trade papers are fairly squirming.
They are silent as to sugar. Recipro,
city without free trade in European
commisli has no attraction for
there, ann Tree raw material for the
oyleee rssss they declare is discrimi-
inst the home consumer.
tant changes brought
about by inns bill are Frightening trade
prospects both abroad and at home.
New enterprises are being projected,
and prices for staple commodities have
not increased. BY all means let us
discuss the Mckinley bill. The thor
ough discussion Of the measure in all
its bearings will make victory easy for
the republicans IN 1s92.-New York
Press.

Your Sister Cascade.

Hot Springs has a sister. She is
young and small, and until recently
has apparently been IN poor health.
But for the past six months things have
taken a chanse,throughont her whole
being, and she now assumes an atti-
tude, which is attracting the attention
of the whole public. One would sup
pose that Hot Springs, from her size
and development is considerable older
than this sister-but not so; these two
were born at nearly the same timc-the
same natural resources that 80 to make
up the one, go to make up the
other therefore we will call
them the twin sisters. Nouyishment
and fondl;ng have madethe larger n
what she is, and she has been the
pet Of the two, but the smaller one has
lately been adopted into other hands,
stlmulants administered, and is now
beginning to grow and promises to be a
thrifty sister. If any one thinks she
won't, just stand and look on and you
will see her grow. There is no reason
why these daughters should not be of
equal size and strength, both fathered
now by the same care, and the
same resources go to make
up both. The home of this promis.
ing young maiden is in Fall River
county, South Dakota, nine miles
south west Of Hot Springs, situated on
a stream Of sparkling hot water, in a
narrow valley, with huge hills rising
on either side. From this point the
locomotive can be heard from the F L
& NJ v and B & NJ Ry and some day in
the near future the siren horse will
be seer within her own borders. y
