A Sensible Hint.

A lady school teacher in Boston.
who israther proud of her profession
than the reverse, is not pleased at
having her occupation thrust for
ward when she meets strangers. Not
long ago, at reception, the hostess
regularly mentioned her occupation
in introducing her.
At length the hostess presented a
young man, adding to the introduc-
ton, as usual, Miss Faneuil is one
of our school teachers. /"
The gentleman bowed, but Miss
Faneuil said:
i beg your pardon, Mrs. Allen,
but ! did not catch what the gentle
mans business is.
What his business is9' repeated
the hostess in perpiexity.

quaintance should start fair, and as

State banquets became very elaborate
and expensive in the earlier half of the
Sixteenth century, which was the period
of pageants and mumming. Excesses in
feasting in Edward III's reign were so great
that the King framed rules forbidding any
common man to have dainty dishes or
costly drinks at his table. He did not,
however, practice economy in his own
household, for the marriage feast of his
third son, Lionel, duke of Clarence, was
exceedingly sumptuous There were thir-
ty courses to it, and the fragments sufficed
to feed thousand people.-London Cor.

Three times out of four fault find
ing is merely an expression of impa-
tience, and the only good it does is to
relieve the irritable feeling caused
by the careless stupidity or other de-
fects of those with whom we have
daily intercourse. To begin with, ON
every occasion where there is no rea-
sonable hope of doing good by fault
finding, seal your lips as with a bar
of iron.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Her mother found the young bride of
only three months in tears.
"What is it, darling?" she asked, with
that solicituae of mothers-in-law anxious
to make out case.
'Why, Albert she sobbed, spoke
this morning before he left of what he
used to say was loves kiss ON my chin.
He said the dimple there was

HE said when he came to look at 1t

Ugly Postage Stamps.

Uncle Sans stamps are just about the
ngliest in the world. because cheapness
IS made great object in their produc-
ton. Somewhat over twenty years ago
the United States had by far the most
beautiful stamps in existence. This de-
cadence must be regarded as a melan-
eholy symptom by those who consider
that postage stamps as well as coins
should be expressive of nations artistic
development.-New York Commercial

A. the Steamship Docks.

Among the striking sights of New
York are those to be seen at the
docks. 1t is as interesting to look at
steamship load of Americans bound
for Europe as to look at a steamship
load of European immigrants coming
into port. The outward bound Amer
leans are apt to be less picturesque
in their garb than the incoming for
eigners. New York Sun.

like Of that before9'
This visitor, in telling about these
very old women, repeated the story
Of the spiders bite, and it spread all
over. Yesterday Annie Krozan told
the story herself. She lay on a cot
in the basement Of the almshouse
where she has been lying for nearly
eight years. All that could be seen
OF her was a white and wrinkled face
half hidden in white hood.

sailor. After we were married he
went to sea and never came home
again. The ship, they told me, went
down and all were lost. / never
knew the name of the ship or the
owners.
We'll, sir, things went badly with
me, and at last l had to come here.
Now it was one summer night, very
hot, maybe eight, maybe nine years

my handkerchief and brought it

chief, and there, as l hope to see

the pain spread to the right eve. / |

one day young doctor lanced my
right eye. 1t didn't hurt much, but
felt him cutting something, and his
hand over my face was the last thing

never believed the spider story, but
it was either that, sir, or his lance

That is her story, and the matron
of the institution and all the other
inmates believe it.-New York Sun.

In the midst of the cannon's roar
our regiment. the Thirty ninth New
York volunteers, received orders to
take the right flank. and my section
was in the front.
Among my section were Germans.
Italians, Spaniards and Frcnchmen.
Dne German was named Shultz
The Union armies were situated so
as to fire into the enemy's ranks
from the side. and thereby endeavor
70 check their advance. As already
stated, my section formed the front
OF the right flank, and the boys were
doing splendid work as the enemy
was advancing to make their final
effort to break the ranks of our men.
Suddenly ] saw a man of my section
advance toward the ene1ny's lines
with outstretched arms, and at the
same time crying at the pitch Of his
voice, sMein bruder, mein bruderT'
The brothers met between the op-
posite ranks, and in the midst of the
flre embraced one another. Then
both came running toward our ranks.
! told Shultz to take his brother to
the rear as prisoner and hand him
over to the provost guard. It was
foolish OF me to do so, but ! felt In
splred by some magical power to
urge him back, but he declined to
go, and all urging was Of no avail;
consequently his brother went to the
rear without an escort. Shultz
worked hard and fast loading and
firing his musket He loaded his
musket about five times, when sud-
denly he turned to me, holding his
hand to his heart, muttering, Joe,
must die" He fell to the ground
and was dead. New York Recorder.

Musk that is, the genuine grain
from the musk deer-is now worth
it's weight IN gold, SO rare has ii be-
come, the wild eyed little animal
from which it is obtained having
been very nearly exterminated from
it's Asiatic haunts. "A full grown
musk deer viii yield about an ounce
OF the grains, which are found in a
sac IN the skin of its abdomen. The
grains are no larger than a pea. and
some of them are as small as pins
head The musk is sold in the mar
ket in the pods or sacs in which it Is
found, but is frequently adulterated.
So many of the deer have been killed
before reaching maturity that the
average musk bag imported, either
Chinese or Russian, will not exceed
half an ounce in weight.
The adulteration of rsusk is made
possible by the IRE of seed known
as the musk seed It grows in India.
The Chinese musk is priced the most
but IS more open to suspicion than
the Russian, which is seldom found
with the sac broken. There are
many artificial musls, and our com
mon muskrat yields a pod that is the

A Hard Corner

The age of 80 is a hard corner for a
woman to turn, and IS is still harder.
She feels that she is fast leaving her
youth behind her. But there is no rea-
son why woman should be faded and
passe at 35, or even at As. The chief
cause of the early fading of American
women is found in the fact that many
of them suffer from some form of fe.
male weakness or disease which robs
the face of its bloom, draws dark circles
about the eyes, brings early wrinkles
and sallowness, and stamps the face
and figure with signs of ill-health. DIR.
Pierce's FavOrite Prescription will cure
all these troubles, will bring back the
lost bloom, and remove the pains and
ailments which make women grow old
before their time. Guaranteed to give
satisfaction in every case, or price (S1)

Mr.. J. p. Blaize, an extensive real

rowly escaped one of the severest at
tacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of that state during a recent
blizzard, says the Saturday Review.
Mr.. Blaize had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was so thor
oughly chilled that he was unable to
get warm, and inside of an hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent TO the nearest drug
store and got a bottle of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number of large
doses. He says the effect was wonder
full and that in a short time he was
breathing quite easily. He kept on
taking the medicine and the next day
was able to come to Des Moines. Mr..
Blaize regards his cure as simply Won
derful. Fifty cent bottles for sale by

The teak, which has passed into prov
erb as the best material for shipbuild-
ing, is superior to all other woods from
the fact that it contains an essential oil
which prevents spikes and nails driven
into it from rusting. This property il
not possessed by any other wood in the
world, and furnishes an explanation Of
the fact that ships built of teak are
