have adopted the stamp system, which
is said to be highly successful in Eu-

provided for the purpose, and when he
has twenty of such stamps deposits
the card in bank and receives credit for

a Mechanical Harp.

Harp playing by machinery is one of
the novelties. The subjection of the
harp has been effected in the following
manner; To begin with, it is arranged
so that the plane Of the strings is hori-
zontal, the instrument lying upon a
table, after the fashion OF the either.
Then, as regards the written music the
notation Of the traditional stave has
been abandoned and sheets upon which
are impressed mysterious groups of
numbers are used in its stead. When
one of these sheets is slid into a frame
made for the purpose the meaning OF
the figures is interpreted.
Each OF them falls under a string of
the instrument and by picking at them
in numerical order with a beveled pencil
of ivory the operator performs q tune.
Time and phrasing are indicated by the
spacing and alignment of The numbers,
nor are the requirements of harmony
forgotten. When the melody Of the air
is adiudged sufficient one of the figures
is accompanied by a letter indicating
that button attached to the instrument
and bearing the same symbol should be
at this juncture pressed. This action,
by bringing small saw Of ivory points
into play, produces chord suitable to
the occasion.-New York Telegram.

When the Trap Is Sprung

Upon us, as it sometimes is In most unex-
pected manner by disease, we appreciate the
fact that it is n most insidious foe, and that
not only is it necessary to combat it by the
most potent medicinal agencies, but to pre-
vent it's manifestation at all by counteracting
the causes that produce it. Thus, exposure in
wet weather, the enforced wearing of damp
clothes during a storm, a thorough draught.
unaccSstomed diet and water bodily or men
tai overwork are breeders of disease, but Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will prevent their in
ducing it. This medicine fortifies the system
against the assured effects such causes would
otherwise produce. To the mariner, miner, the
outdoor laborer, the slave of the desk and pen
and the overworked generally, it is of the ut
most advantage Dyspepsia, kidney trouble,
malaria, biliousness, all yield to il.

wen-rrod .cn Paths I'm Africa.

It may be q surprise to the unenlight-
ened to learn that probably no explorer,
in forcing his pas age through Africa,
has ever, for more than few days at a
time, been off some beaten track. Every
village Is connected with some other
village, every tribe with THE next tribe.
every state with its neighbor, and there
fore with all .he rest. The explorer 8
business is SIMPLY TO select from this
network OF tracks, keep general direc-
tion, and hold on his way. They are
veritable footpaths, never over foot in
breadth, beaten hard and netted beneath
the level of the forest-bed by centuries
o. native traffic.
Like the roads of the old Romans,
these footpaths run straight on through
everything, ridge and mountain and val
ley, never shying at obstacles. nor any
where turning aside to breathe. Yet
within this general straightforwardne IS
there is singular eccentrlcity and in
directness OF detail. And the reason is
not far to seek. If stone is encoun-
tered no native will ever think OF re-
moving it; he simply walks around it.
1t would never occur to him that that
stone was displaceable object, and
that for the general veal he might dis
place 1t.
However, it must be a very stony
country, indeed-and Africa is far from
stony-that would wholly account for
the acgravatiny obliquenes5 and inde-
cision of an American footpath. But
whatever the cause it is certain that for
persistent straightforwardnes in the
general, and uI er vacillation and ir-
resolution in the particular, the African
roads are unique in engineering.-Home

Fear of the Finger Bowl.

The most embarrassing thing in So

barrassed who attempts to use one.
The women come nearer TO using them
gracefully than the men, but even the
women do not entirely succeed, although
they assume careless manner in wash
ing their fingers, indicating that at home
they use finger bowls every Jew min
utes. There is a certain awkwardness
about finger bowls which no one can
deny. Many man has refused to at
tend a party through fear OF finger
bowls The next time you are out no.
tice if all the guests do not look at the
person who is using finger bowl as if
they would say: ave have them at our
house, but he does not have them at his
house. A good many people dislike So
ciety and it is believed that they are
afraid of company, but as a matter of
fact it's finger bowls.-Atchison Globe.
