VACATION ADVICE.

DON'T go out in the woods to fly B e--only the birds fly there.
 DON'T waste your time in trying to catch two-inch fish with ten-foot pole.
 DON'T try swimming in creeks where the water is two feet deep and the mud six feet.
 IT is always well tos remember the fact that savage cows#and fierce dogs can't climb trees.
 IF strange dog smiles at you it is policy to smile back, and if he runs at you the best thing is to run back.
 WHEN you go out for an ,all-day tramp do not eat up all your lunch at ten o'clock. You will feel starved by two if you do.
 Do NOT be angry if the roosters awaken you at daybreak. Remember that if you went to bed at sunset you would be willing to get up with the chickens.-Harper's Young People.

IN NUMBERING REGIONS.

A CHICAGO man is at Poland looking for a stick of timber one hundred and ten feet long and four feet square. It is. thought he wants it for the center-pole. of a circus tent.
 A GEORGIA woodman has cut tree from which he got two saw logs, each fortyhve feet long, and forty feet of the top of the tree was left after re- moving this section of ninety feet, mak- ing the tree one hundred and thirty feet high.
 A sEQUoIA tree has been found in; Kings River canyon, in the Nevada mountain range whose original diane ter exceeded forty feet, but has been. reduced by fire to thirty-nine feet. This is larger than any of the gigantic. trees discovered in California by seven. feet.
 IN dragging the Au Sable river for sunken logs, 100,000,000 feet was se- cured within very short distance, and now the statement is going the rounds that it is believed there is 15O,OO0, 900 feet of logs sunk in the Au Sable alone. At six dollars per thousand this would amount to $9OO,OOO.

Old Nursery Favorites.

There was Tom the son of the piper.
 Jack Sprat and Merry King Cole, And the three wise men of Gotham,
 Who went to sea in a bowl; The woman who rode on a broomstick,
 And swept the cobwebbed sky, And the boy who sat in the corner,
 Eating his Christmas pie.
 These were some of the favorites, but they have been supplanted by the "Pansy" and "Chatterbox" stories, Little Lord Fauntleroy" and Five Little Peppers" The old fashioned pills and physics have been superseded, and wisely too, by Pierce's Purgative Pel- lets, mild, harmless and effective ca thartic. They are pleasant to take-so gentle in their action that the most deli cate child can take them, yet so effect i've that they will cure the most obsti- nate cases of constipation, stomach, liver and bowel troubles. They should be in every nursery. As a gentle laxa- tive, only one for a dose.

HER REPLY UNsATIsFAcroRV.

China May Yet Be Forced to offer Protec-
 tion to Foreign Residents.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 14.-The steamer China, from China and Japan, brings ad- vices from China to August 30.
 The British Minister, Sir John Vol nom, made 8 strong protest against the dilatory manner in which the Chinese government dealt with the recent out breaks against foreigners, and put three questions to the government, asking, first, why an edict on the subject of the riots was not dispatched through the em- pire by telegraph. Second, why the Wuhu magistrate who tried to stop the riots was degraded while his superiors who did nothing were not punished, and, third, why the punishment of the guilty at Wusuch was delayed.
 Lii Hung Chang answered these ques- tions as follows: First, it is not the GUS tom of China to send edicts by wire; second, the magistrate was degraded for other reasons and, third, the rioters had been punished, two being executed and the others otherwise punished
 The "North China News'' says the re- ply Is a palpable evasion and only shows that China cannot be depended upon by the foreign powers.
 England's action is understood to be backed by other powers and it is thought force will be used if China is not con ciliatory.

Further and Sensational Proceedings Ex-
 pected in the Bardsley Matter.
 PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 14.-Further pro ceedings, growing out of the Bardsley defalcation, will be begun this week. 1t is said, and also that some very sensational disclosures may be expected.

The members of the firm of Glendenning & Co.,, to whom Bardsley loaned large amounts of money and through whom his stock speculations, amounting to millions, were carried on, are also to be arrested or subpenaed. Other State officials may also be included in the arrests.
 The proceedings will be held before Judges Gordon and Fell, who will sit as committing magistrates to hear the evi- dence and determine whether the accused shall be held to bail.

THE USE OF A LIoHTsHIP.
Countless Vessels Saved by the Warming
 Bell and BeRcons.

Countless Vessels Saved by the Warning
 Bell and Beacons.
 Two days later we had what was perhaps more practical illustration of the lightships usefulness It was a hay morning and the mate was scanning the horizon with his glass Bringing it to bear to the southward, he held it long in that direction, while look of anxiety came over his face. Several of the crew joined him, and finally one of them said: If she keeps that course five minutes longer she'll be on the shoal" Through the haze large three masted schooner was disccrniblc, heading directly for reef to the southwest of us. She was evidently looking for the lightship, but the haze had prevented her from sight ing us, although our sharp lookout had had his glass on her for some time. Then, too, as the mate remarked with a slightly critical smile: '"These cap tains feel so sure of their course that they always expect to raise us straight ahead" Suddenly there was evidence that she had sighted us. She swung around as swiftly as if she were turn ing upon a pivot She had been lunging along in an uncertain way, but the sight of ns seemed to fill hel with new life and buoyancy. Her sails filled, she dashed through the waves with straaks of white streaming along each quarter like foam on the Hanks of a race horse, and on she came, fairly quivering with joy from keel to pennant Such instances are of almost daily occurrence, and if we add to them the occasions-and they must run far up into the hundreds, if not into the thousands-when the warning voice of the fog bell and the guiding gleam of the lamps have saved vessels from shipwreck, it seems as though the sailor must look upon the South Shoal lightship as one of the guardian angels of the deep. p.-Gustav KoObe, in Century.

RUN BONN AT SEA
An Unknown Ship Sunk By
 the Steamer Arizona.
ALL ON BOARD PER1sHED.
The Crash Game in the Early Morning
 During Fog.

Panic Among the Steamers Passengers
 Would Go Down--Her Deck and Side
 Badly Damaged--NoShing But a Little
 WreckaGe from the Ship Found.
 LONDON, Sep. 14.-The steamship Ari- zona, of the Guion Line which left New York on Saturday, Sep. 5, for Liverpool, battered condition, after 8 perilous voy- age across the Atlantic
 Early on the morning of the 9th, while the Arizona was steaming rapidly in a fog, an unknown sailing vessel, believed to be large coasting schooner, collided with the Arizona. The shock was very great, and aroused the passengers from their beds.
 For time the greatest excitement pre- vailed until it was found that the steamer was not, as many feared, about to go to the bottom.
 The stem of the schooner struck the Arizona front quarter. Thirty feet of the rails of the ships deck were carried away, and lifeboat smashed. The deck was considerably damaged and several plates of the vessels side were badly indented.
 While the extent of the injury to the steamer was being ascertained life were prepared for the use of the passeng- CTS, and every preparation possible made for the saving of life in case the steam ship should go down.
 Fears of such 8 catastrophe were, how ever, soon allayed, thought it was long time before the passengers recovered from the shock of their sudden awakening
 Search was made for the colliding schooner, but not sign could be seen of her, nor was cry heard. The terrible shock had apparently crushed the sail ing vessel in twink ling and caused her to founder.
 Part of the bowsprit of the schooner remained on the Arizona's deck, and other wreckage indicated the fate of the unfortunate mariners.
 The Arizona's machinery had not suf- fered by the collision, and the voyage was pursued at the usual speed and without further accident.

 FAssETT of New York will be a weak candidate. Not only is he an adminis- ration candidate, but as the republican leader in the state senate he deprived New York city of the worlds fair. The fact that there is a movement to ask congress for S5, ,OOO, 900 to aid Chicago to carry on the fair will bring up New York's loss afresh in the minds of New York people. State pride has been out ragged by Fassett by thus sending the fair to Chicago, and not only will New York voters oppose him, but alst thousands of republican farmers whc expected to sell their produce to New York hotels and boarding houses if a worlds fair had been held in New York Contrast Fassett with Flower, who is tc have the democratic nomination Flower opened his house ill Washing ton and gave entertainments to all interested in the movement to give New York th fair

To Inaugurate 8 School House Campaign.
 ST PAUL, Sep. 14.-At 8 meeting of the Executive Committee of the Peoples party of Minnesota held at the Merchants 8 Hotel it was decided to inaugurate 8 school house campaign and resolu- tions were also adopted protesting against the concerted attempts now be- ing made to break down the price of Minnesota's wheat crop by exaggerating the amount of the yield by false state ments, declaring that while the wheat crop is 8 good one, 1t Is not excessive in quantity and charging the speculators with circulating false reports in an at- tempt to cheapen the price of wheat at this time, when the failure of crops in Europe ought to assure the farmers good prices.
