The Japs as Imitators.

s'When 1 was in Toxic" said CHI
cagoan who recently returned from .
trip to Japan, II was much impressed
by the initiative art of the Japanese.
through a discovery / accidentally
made. was walking through one Of
the streets and noticed in a shop win
dow several cans of Armour's canned
beef. There was nothing SO very
strange in that, but on making inquir-
les / learned that that particular beef
had been put up in Japan. That's
where the imitation came in. Some
years ago Armour's product found its
way out there, and after using It
awhile the Japs thought they could
can beef also. And so they did.
Armour's beef pack has been initiated
down even to the label, to such a de-
gree that it is difficult to detect the
difference. l heard of another in
stance. Several years ago a certain
glass product made in Germany was
sold extensively in Japan. Through
government officials an innocent re-
quest was made to the German manu-
facturers to allow three or four jap
anese workmen in their factory. The
request was granted. The artisans
spent year or two in Germany, and
to-day Japan is selling the very same
article to the Germans at much less
cost than they can produce it. Those
obliging Germans have had their busi-
ness ruined, and their factories have
long since stopped running"

What Not To Do.

Don't eat candy; you never would II
you could see the inside of your stom-
ach after doing so. When you are
faint from lack of food, or from nerv-
Gus wear and tear, don't get in the
habit of patching yourself up with tea;
it is no better for you than brandy is
for your brother, it borrows from Peter
to pay Paul and ends by robbing both.
Eat bread and milk chiefly morning
and noon; at dinner eat what you like,
only don't eat when you are not hum
cry on account of an agreeable flavor.
70 eat few nourishing things is bet
ter than to eat a lot of things poor in
nutriment. In summer eat less meat.
Pastry will do you no good and too
much of it will do you harm. Why
not give yourself all the chances you
can to be we'll? 1t is contemplate to
lower your tone of health just because
some unwholesome thing tastes good.
Yet you are not to be an ascetic in
diet by any means; but remember that
the best time to eat unwholesome
things is not when your appetite is too
squeamish to eat anything else, but
when it is strong enough to eat any
thing; then there is chance of your
digesting the stuff, and that Is the
main thing.
And now as to exercise, take all you
can get, but never carry it to the point
of fatigue, and take all you can in the
open air. or in pure air at any rate.
Gentle extension movements of arms,
legs and body are the best; no heavy
weights, no violent exertions; but go
through a regular series every day. If
only for fifteen minutes. There is an
immense difference between fifteen
minutes and nothing at all. Be am
bilious, but be prudent, and by and by
you and your daughters after you may
revive the perfect type of womanhood.

A Black Female Samson.

Freedman's Town, suburb of Hous-
ton, Tex, boasts female Samson, who
has repeatedly proved herself a match
for any three men that have pitted
their united strength against hers. and
who a few nights ago successfully
routed Officer John Baxter and three
of his assistants, all men of fine phys
ique.
The woman is negress as black as
night, and of stature slightly above
the average, but magniicently built
and extraordinarily active. Her grip
is such that she was able to break two
of the bones of the hand of a woman
with whom she had fracas recently,
and it was on the police attempting to
arrest her that she not only was able
to prevent them from putting the hand
cuffs on her, but taking the officer and
his posse, one by one, flung them out
of the house and closed and locked the
door.
Baxter. in particular, is accounted a
man of unusual strength, and is of
large build; but he says his muscles
were as child's when compared with
those of the black amazon. The
woman, whose name is Caroline Jen-
kins, Is about 30 years old, and Is the
mother of seven children.
She has been seen to pick up barrel
of flour and carry it distance of some
yards without appearing to be over
exerting herself, and when tested was
found to be able to break with ease a
new grass rope an inch in diameter.
Since her exploit with the police it is
said that a party of gentleman propose
travelling with her if she will go and
give exhibitions of her strength, which
is to be ascribed to no electrical or
magnetic process, but to muscular de-
velopment alone.

CHASED BY AN ANACONDA.
Thrilling Adventure of q Lion Hunter In
the WiIds of Africa.

A popular business man of Birming-
ham, Ala, is Frenchman who spent
several years in South Africa before
he came to America. While resi-
dent of Africa he went lion hunting
several times, and, while he killed no
lions, he met with number of very
exciting adventures.
In the gentleman's own estimation
the most exciting of his African hunt
ing adventures was a race with an i'm
mense anaconda, the largest snake
found in that country. The story is
best told in his own words:
my first lion hunt" he said, ''was
with party of three Englishmen and
five natives. We were all mounted on
small Arab ponies, and carried large
rifles suspended from our shoulders by
leather strap. We rode out fifteen
miles from camp and was placed on
stand at the edge of the jungle, while
the natives were sent into the jungle to
drive out the game. I had been on
my stand half an hour when my pony
suddenly began to snort loudly and
back away from the jungle. At first
1 could see nothing, and slung my rifle
around on my back in order to leave
both hands free to manage the pony,
who had never acted so strangely be-
fore.
''In few moments, however, heard
a roaring noise which sounded exactly
like the approach of small whirlwind.
By this time my pony was turning
around like top, and at each turn he
was getting farther away from the
jungle. In a moment more I saw an
immense anaconda come out of the
jungle and start directly toward us.
The reptile seemed to me to be about
forty feet long and as big around as
my body. I forgot I had a gun; in
fact, it was all could do just then to
keep my seat on the pony. As soon as
the little animal saw the snake coming
toward US he headed for the camp,
fifteen miles away, and no racehorse
winning Derby ever made such time
as that little Arab pony made getting
back to camp.
THE snake was right behind us for
ten miles and then gave up the race.
but the pony did not know it, and
never slackened speed until he was safe
in camp. For the first few miles the
huge reptile was only few feet be-
hind us, and seemed to feel his hot
breath on my neck. The roaring noise
he made when he first came out of the
jungle continued as long as he kept
after US. The pony could hear the
noise, and the way he bumped himself
would make the modern race horse
ashamed. Once 1 thought the ana
conda had US. He made an extra
squirt of speed and ran alongside the
pony for fifty yards. We we're going
SO fast the friction made by the snakes
body passing over the ground SO
rapidly left trail of smoke behind.
Of course the reptile could not coil or
strike while going at that speed. and
that saved us. When he slackened
speed to coil around US the pony put
on little more steam, and gained
nearly half a mile. That won the race
and saved US. To give you an idea Of
that pony's speed, my gun with the
strap around my shoulder was hang
ing out behind me at an angle of forty
five degrees, and never once touched
my back during the fifteen-mile race"

Her Beautiful Eyes.

Oh, her beautiful eyesl they are blue as the
dew
On the violet's bloom when the morning is
And the light Of their love is the gleam of the
sun
Ger the meadows Of spring where the quick
shadows run,
AS the morn shifts the mists and the clouds
from the skies
So stand in the dawn of her beautiful eyes.
And her beautiful eyes are as midday to me,
When the hly-bell bends with the weight of
the bee.
And the throat of the thrush is pulse in the
heat,
And the. senses are drugged with the subtle
and sweet
And delirious breaths of the airs lullabies-
So swoon in the noon of her beautiful eyes.
oh. her beautiful eyes! they have smitten
mine own
As glory glanced down from the glare of the
throne;
And reel, and falter and fall, as afar
Fell the shepherds that looked on the mythical
star.
And yet dazed in the tidings that bade them
arise
So grope through the night of her beautiful
eyes.

CARPETS,
CURTAINS,
+ FURNISHINGS.
49,

March, 1891, finds us better than ever
before prepared for the early Spring trade.
Our two capacious floors are filled with the
latest and best products Of the loom, and we
are prepared to give our customers all the ad-
vantages in selection and purchase, to be had
in the more pretentious city house, with ex-
pense advantages largely in our favor in ruling
prices on like qualities of goods.
We need hardly again allude to the ad-
vantages, as an exclusive Carpet House, we
are enabled to offer in meeting divers tastes,
and specific requirements entering into the
purchase of Carpet relative to the essen
tials of beauty and utility, in which your
choice is not confined to the meager offerings
of the side show" attractions afforded by the
average dabbler.
Long familiarity with the products of
reliable houses, enables us to place our orders
only with such, preferring to give our patrons
goods Of intrinsic value, rather than indulge
in the deceptive blazonry of "glittering gen
eralties" born Of Shoddy as means of Sat
tracing customers.
1t is our purpose to make all friendships
formed through business intercourse, lasting
ones,and having once secured your patronage,
to retain it, believing that success and square
toed integrity are not necessarily strangers in
the successful prosecution Of business-a fact
of pleasing significance, in contemplative ret
respect of the friendships commemorative of
pleasant and confidential relations with our
patrons.
In alluding to the foregoing, we claim
not necessarily an exceptional standing, but
only determination to exercise the plain and
homely methods of honorable dealing, char
acteristic in the makeup Of the man desirous
of "a good name rather than great riches"
