Wolnan's Charm.

There is no reason in the world why
every woman should not be pleasant to
look upon, should not present an
agreeable appearance. Whatever the
features may be, the complexion may
at least be kept clear. and the skin
freed from disfiguring pimples and hu-
mors by the use Of ayers Sarsaparilla.
Keep the blood pure by the use Of this
medicine and the result will both graf
fy and astonish you.

A Fish swallowed ri. wssch.

n Albu oWIlloWD0 Ms ~ Itpilss-
A rather strange IS well a. amusing
incident happened on board the schooner
Emma Clara while ut sea Saturday on
her way up from Rockport. They were
well out at sea where tho water was
blue and clear and the wind very light,
when one Of the passengers discovered
q largo fish which Is known In those
waters as linn. following close behind
the boat.
Several Of the boys were soon leaning,
over the stern admiring the fish, when
one Of them accidentally dropped his
watch overheard out of his oyershirt
pocket. It was large old fashioned
Swiss silver watch, and when 1t hit the
water it glanced of sideways and darted
on its voyage to the bottom Of the sea,
but the linn saw It, and as he Is fish
that bites at everything that shines, 70
CARELESS Of flavor OF taste, opened his
huge mouth and swallowed the watch st
one gulp. The surprised and chagrined
young man says that the watch had just
been wound up and was good to tick
away for twenty-four hours at least.
The fish seemed TO enjoy the meal, and
followed lcisurely after the boat for
some time. Velasco Times.

During recent riot ct some place be.
tween Tong-Tu and Kalping, the mol
destroyed good length Of the railway
that had recently been carried through
the district.
Tho local mandarin, instead Of using
che forces under him to Quell the riot,
sent the soldiers TO assist In the evil
york. The entertainments were leveled
for some distance and the rails thrown
into the river. and an attempt was made
TO destroy the bridges Mr.. Kinder. the
head engineer of the Line, laid the state
! Of the case before the toatoi Of ITEM Tsin,
who is tho head director of the under.
taking. The toatoi sent for the man.
DARN
To please yourself and friends said
be, lyon have destroyed the railway
track. To please me you win put It
back just as it was before. If Ia one
month from today the trains are not
running as before you lose Your head,
and your family and ancestors are dis
graced
ssMr. Kinder estimates the damage
and loss by nonrunning Of trains at So
900 taels, which sum You viii have to
pay out Of your own funds to the COM
pany.
"For labor, al your officials, soldiers
and townsfolk win work as you direct,
receiving no money for thar labor, and
all salaries are stopped until the repairs
ara complete. I shall appoint board
Of punishment to return with you, with
power to torture and imprison any one
who makes the least disturbance on
trouble
The mandarin begged for mercy on
the plea that. as the country was ali un-
der water, he could not possibly get
mud and stone wherewith to build the
entertainments The toatoi saw the
force Of this plea and said he would give
him chance.
He could pull down any of his forts
that he liked in order to provids ma,
