Saved by His Wife's Wit.

The Rev. DIR. Clinton Locke, the
popular Episcopal clergyman, OF CHI
cago, made bad break the other
day but was helped out by the quick
wit of his vile. On the day in ques'
ton he saw lady about to call who
he was anxious not to meet. SO he
said to his wife: Nov Pm off, my
dear. I'll run upstairs and escape
till she goes away" After about an
hour he quietly tiptoed to the stair
landing and listened. All was quiet
below. Reassured he began to de-
scend, and while doing SO he thought
lessly but emphaticalIy called out
over the banister:
"Well, my dear, has that old bore
gone at last 7"
The next instant a voice from be-
low caused the cold perspiration to
bedew his ministerial brow and root
ed him to the spot. There came re-
Spouse which sounded inexpressibly
sweet to him just then. 1t was the
voice of his wife, who, with true wo-
manly tact, replied. eyes, darling

Free Coinage unwise.

The silver dollar of the mint is a
deprecated dollar when compared
with the gold dollar, which is the
standard in international transac
tions; and it seems unwise to transfer
to the general public the power to
issue such dollars with such limit
only as may be fixed by The uncer-
tain product of the mines. The claim
in behalfof the government may find
some support in the possibility that
the country may be subjected to
troubles and losses of no inconsider-
able magnitude in case the produc-
ton of silver should increase, and in
case the gold countries should be able
to adhere to the single standard. In
any view OF the case, the evils of a
deprecated standard of values must
fall upon all classes, and that fact
may with justice sustain the position
that the profits OF coinage should in
ure to the country rather than TO
class.-George s. Bout,ceH an March

Are You in Correct Form.

The present fashionable walk af-
fected by New York girls is decided
ly tiresome, and it is very amusing
to watch some well built tailor made
girl, when she takes to one of the
side streets, allow her arms to swing
and her body relax, and apparently
take some comfort in moving. The
regulation gait requires the body to
be carried perfectly erect and stiff,
the arms held at the side, with el-
bows turned out and the hand slight
ly open. The arms must be held
slightly open. The arms must be
held perfectly steady if one desires
to be thought in correct FORM.

A Dietary For Intellectual Workers

The intellectual worker needs plen-
tx of digestible food, such as fish,
poultry, eggs, game. fruit, and the
succulent vegetables. The proper
diet for all sedentary people is an
early and entire supply of digestable
food, including plenty of cereals and
fruit. A cup of some warm drink
should be taken just before rising, or
as soon as it can be prepared, and
positively no work should be done
before breakfast. As the digestive
organs are most active early in the
day, a second hearty but digestible
meal can be eaten at noon, if an
hours rest intervenes before continu-
ed work or exercise. The afternoon
work should be light, and part OF the
time passed out of-doors. A light
digestible dinner may follow about
nightfall, and the evening be devot-
ed to recreation or social relaxation
When any night work is contemplat-
ed, food should be taken about mid
night, and again at dawn, when the
vital forces fail
.eThat sad still hour before. the dawn,
When old men die and babes are born.'
Special care should be taken to in
sure plenty Of pure air and light;
strong meats and drinks should be
avoided, and abundance milk used
with eggs, fruit and fresh vegetables
and salads.-JuIiet Corson IN Hdr'

Why Hair Turns Gray.

The hair retains it's natural shade
up to middle life if nothing inter
feres with its growth, and after that
period it begins to Lose its color.
Graying after that time cannot be
checked, and no medicine should be
taken to check the process. If be-
fore this period it changes it is
probably due to some local or gener-
eral cause that should be removed
If the hair becomes gray in places
and not in others it 10 due to the
disturbance OF nutrition, and the
best thing is to get the blood to cir.
culate there more freely. The only
advice that can be given in prema.
ture grazing of the hair is to get the
scalp into as healthy condition as
possible, and see to it that the gen.
eral system is good Yankee Blade

THE BOOK TRUST KNOCKED OUT
A Gard to the Public.

Some six months ago we began the
publication of our reprint of the FAM
Gus Encyclopedia Britannica in 25
Volumes, which we issued at ST. so per
uolume. The price of the English edi-
ton always has been and still is 90
per volume, aud the Scribner edition
SIS 90 per volume in the cheapest bind
ing.
That the public appreciates so great
bargain is shown by the fact that
over half q million volumes of this re-
print have been sold in less than six
months.
This elegant new edition we still offer
at the same price, 81 so per uolunae.
This is the greatest bargain ever knoacn
in books.
Better still, we will deliver the set
complete on small easy payments, to
suit the convenience of customers.
Remember this is not an abridge-
ment, but the great Edinburgh ninth
edition, reproduced page for page, with
important articles on American sub
jects rewritten to date by eminent Am
erlcan authors, and new maps, later
and better than n any other edition.
We further announce that we have in
preparation three volumes of "Ameri-
can Additions and Revisions," thor
oughly experimenting the original
work. With these supplemental vol
umes you will have at small cost an En-
cyclopadia unapproachable in complete
ness; a thorough "digest of the libraries
of the world" and a complete record OF
current progress and events.
SPECIAL OFFERING claim that our
reprint compares favorably with the
high priced editions in every respect,
and in respect to maps, and strength
and beauty OF binding is superior to
any of them. In order that this claim
may be tested by personal inspection
we make the following proposition
We will furnish volume /. at so Cts

A Wonderful Freak.

One of the most wonderful freaks
of nature the world has ever known
is now attracting attention in St.
Paul, and Spokane Falls figures as
the central figure in the phenomenon.
1t is no less than a horse that bears
in its left eye perfect picture of the
waterfall at Spokane Falls. The
eye has been seen and examined by
hundreds of persons, and closely
compared by them with photographs
and other pictures of the falls, and
no one has yet failed to pronounce it
correct picture
In discussing the matter with a
reporter Mr.. Dillman said:
"Mr. Deakin sent the horse down
to the hotel where stopped in order
that | might see him. The horse is
white in color and of medium size
l was somewhat skeptical about the
story until / looked into the animal s
left eye, when l beheld perfect re-
production of part of the falls of
the Spokane river as true to life as
the best photographs.
The part of the falls shown is from
the water works across to the mills.
The island on which the water works
stand is also shown. The picture is
absolutely perfect in every detail.
The horse was sold in St. Paul with
number of other horses, and the
wonderful picture in his eye was not
discovered until he had passed into
the hands of Mr.. Deakin.
Hundreds of people have viewed
the horse, and Mr.. Deakin has receiy-
ed an offer of 81 900 for him, which
ne promptly refused. He also re-
ceiyed fattering offer to exhib-
it the animal in the principal
towns of Montana. No such phe.
nomenon, or what ever it might be
called, was ever heard of before, and
the horse will prove great adver-
tisement to Spokane Falls when plac-
ed on exhibition Spokane Falls Re-

American and English Railway. the best.


In England, American railways
are, as rule, the object Of almost
unmixed laudation. We see their
marvellous cheapness, their Aexibili-
ty OF adoption to rapidIy-changing
circumstances, and the extraordi-,
nary technical ability with which
they are managed. Onthe other hand
we pay little heed--perhaps because
we have a difficulty in imagining
them-to the personal preferences,
the unjust determinations, the wild
fluctuations Of rates, even the actual
financial dishonesty, which look so
large in the eyes Of the American
public, and have given to the agita-
ton in favor of more stringent state
control, or even Of state ownership,
whatever force it possesses. II is
worth noticing, therefore, that these
biotS on the American system nave
no necessary connection whatever
with the system OF private manage
ment. 1t can hardly be doubted
that the railways of England and
the United States, whichever stood
first, would secure the first and
second place between them. In
speed and in accommodation, wheth-
err for freight or passengers, whether
quality or quantity be taken into
consideration, in the energy which
pushes railways into the most re-
mote districts, in the skill which
creates traffic where no traffic ex
listed before, they stand together In
the front rank, as they have stood
any time for the last half century.
