Never judge man by his clothes.
An English dude, rugged out in tog
gerry that would take away ones
breath, found himself target for the
remarks of four good-sized commercial
travellers at ST. Louis. He stood it till
patience ceased to be virtue, then he
sailed in, and in few moments the
quartette of drummers found them
selves in heap ON the floor. Sonever
judge a man by his clothes.

The story Of the destruction OF the
United States ship Baltimore by a
CHILEAN torpedo-boat had but short
lived circulation, and gained no cred
ence among intelligent people. 1t was
simply out of the question for such an
act to have been perpetrated by the
rabble without the knowledge, conni-
vance, and even assistance of the Val
paraiso authorities.

Louisiana is making desperate
effort to free herself from the lottery
incubus, and has issued an appeal to
her sister States of the Union to help
her. They should promptly respond
to this appeal, the more so as it will
be partly in their own self defense to
remove this incubus. The money
flowing from all over the country into
its Unsuitable jaws would start and
maintain many legitimate industries.

The excessive cotton crop naturally
was followed by low prices, and South
ern papers and planters are discussing
the question, how to restrict the cot
ton acreage. 1t is proposed that the
cotton States shall agree that the total
crop shall not exceed 1000, 900 bales,
which would cost less to produce and
would return the same amount as a
crop of 50, 800, 900 bales.

Rufus Hatch amused the Chicago
people by making it daily practice,
during his recent visit to the Worlds
Fair city, to go out on the walk in
front of his hotel after breakfast and
feed the birds that were picking up a
precarious living there. For this pur-
pose the economical inancier would
supply himself with bread which he
would crumble and scatter on the
pavement. After his first appearance
the birds gathered by the hundreds to
await his coming.

Riding the wooden Horse.

ToHture on grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin of Bucking-
ham, but torture on a small scale con-
tinued to be practiced ON military Of
fenders down to the Eighteenth century.
The form most frequently resorted to
was that known as the wooden horse, to
ride which was the punishment accorded
for petty thefts, insubordination, and 90
on. The wooden horse was made of
planks nailed together so as to form a
sharp ridge or angle about eight or nine
feet long. This ridge represented the
back of the horse, and was supported by
four posts or legs about five feet high,
placed on stand made movable by
truckles To complete the resemblance
with the noblest animal in creation a
head and tail were added.
When soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order to increase the pain, muskets were
fastened to his legs to weigh them down
or, as was jocularly said, to prevent the
fiery, untamed, barebacked steed from
kicking him of.-London Graphic.

A New Glove Mender.

1t is quite difficult matter to repair
ones gloves so neatly and perfectly that
it cannot be detected as an nonprofes-
sional's work, but there is little in
yention which facilitates this work to
such degree that even unframed hands
can do it with neatness and dispatch.
The apparatus is made of nickel, and
consists of two parts, which press against
each other by means of spring. Part
of the top edge is provided with small
teeth in close range to each other. The
seam of the glove to be mended is care
fully pressed between these teeth, and
the needle passed in and out at every
opening. Repairing done in this man.
ner is SO perfect that it cannot be no

palling to find that the drink bill of 1890
amounts to e139, 1875, 40, an increase of
sc, 2S2, 1914 over the sum of the previous
year, all common sense and medical
science notwithstanding. 1t is said to
be equal to one-twelfth of the estimated
income of all persons, to one-fifth of the
national debt, and to eight times more
than the income of all the Christian
churches. 1t is not our business 70

means so much cirrhoss, Bright's dis
ease, govt, rheumatism, insanity, etc,
disabling employment, taking the lpleas-

year but that of 1878, whenit was more
than one hundred and forty-two millions

A California growers latest efforts

end electricity has been employed.
He claims that the maturity of the

trunk OF each tree fine electric wire,
each one hundred of these TO be cen,
tered in chemical electric battery.
The cost, he says, will not exceed FIVE
cents a tree. If the ripening OF the
oranges can be fastened in this way,
Why not deciduous fruits; and while
