What Cuts Down the Profits.

You have no idea of the calls made
upon the average merchant for contri-
buttons to every conceivable charity.
The senior member of this concern was
going over the books in January, and
when he glanced at the footings in the
charity book, as we call it--a book
where every dollar expended in charity
is entered-he said something must be
done. Either the house had to chop on
charity accounts or go out of business.
Some persons imagine that these de-
mands are made periodically. They are
incessant. ALI applications of this char
acter must come to my desk, and there
isn't a day that receive less than half
dozen letters begging for assistance,
while the personal applications are SO
numerous that we have had to make a
rule that they must be made between cer-
tain hours. Some of these charities are
exacting. One when refused threatened
US with boycott. We probably would
not have suffered financially from any
thing of the sort, but we didn't care to
have any notoriety in connection with
such matter and submitted to being
bled, for that was what it amounted to.

A Worthy idea.

An idea that first originated in the
fertile brain of Alexandra Dumas fills is
likely to come into fashion. "For," he
said, "why should not those who are in
vited to a luxurious banquet, which they
get for nothing, pay trifle for such as
are without food and provide these poor
people with mealr' And he proposes
that each guest shall pay the lady Of the
house the sum of one franc, sugges-
ton that will no doubt commend itself
to those who are not in position to
reciprocate in the matter of hospitality,
and who are thereby relieved in part Of
the sense of obligation for a gratuitous
feed. He limits the amount to one franc
in order TO avoid an invidious compari-
son between the parade of generosity on
the part of the wealthy and the smaller
contributions Of those less happily cir
cumstanced.
Moreover, as the rattling of coin and
the giving of change at the dinner table
are Objectionable features, he suggests
the introduction of "bons," or notes of
hand, to be obtained at various centers
on payment Of the required sum. We
have seen a sample of these notes, which
he styles "bons dc digestion" and which
are signed, "Qui dine donne" (he who
dimes gives). This Fashion" launched
by Dumas on the charitable world, is
worthy Of imitation. on.-Figaro.

A stranre Story About a sobooper.

The two masted schooner James A.
Fisher, which struck on the Jersey coast,
near Cape May inlet, forty-nine years
ago and sunk in the quicksands, will
soon be ahoat again, perfect vessel as
of yore. She was buried 80 deeply in
the sand that not even her masts or rig
ging have been visible, but the recent
storm unearthed her.
The vessel is in a remarkably perfect
condition, not even bulwark being
crushed in. The cargo of corn was dug
out Of her hold few days ago, black,
but in perfect shape. Watches, shoes
and the clothing of the crew were
brought TO light. A watch showed the
exact hour at which ii had stopped tick
ing, and the pipes and tobacco were just
as left by the i'll fated crew.
The cargo consisted of full load of
corn shipped at Duck River, Delaware
bay, for New York. She sunk 30 soon
in the sand that the crews clothing and
paraphernalia, as well as the entire
cargo, went down. Captain Andrews
and several of the crew were frozen 10
death, and the steward drowned in at
tempting TO reach the mainland. .-Phila-

More Indian Schools Needed.

In the last two years, and particularly
within the last six months, the Indian
schools, as whole, have filed up with
pupils as at no former time. Almost all
the schools are crowded, many are wait.

are in pressing need of boarding schools
among them the Rosebud, the Navajo,

specified, containing over 10000 Indians,
and school population five to eighteen,
of not far from 5000, there are only four
boarding schools with capacity of 85O

ono Way to SURROGATE n Frog.

A frog cannot breathe with his
mouth open. The conformation of
his breathing apparatus is such that
when his mouth is open his nostrils
will be closed and, paradoxical as it
may seem, all you have to do to suf.
focate frog is to put a stick in his
mouth so he cannot shut his jaws. 1t
is strange phenomenon, probably
unparalleled in animal history, but
nevertheless any one who pleases
may make the experiment, though it
certainly will be disastrous to the
frog. st Louis Globe Democrat.

90 MAN wLIo WAITED.


And Now. n He Could only Know, his
Rest WouId BE Soft and Sweet.
The night old man Blackpool died all
the boys went up TO the house TO offer
what little services they might to the
dead.
But it would have been far better had
they been able to help old man Black
pool in those other days when he really
needed aid.
We all used to say that the old man
was as hard rs flint, and that he was a
great hand at the grindstOne.
But in pic cf his outward air of gruff-
ness old man Blackpool had in reality
for years past been dying by inches. 1t
was that oldest son Of his who broke the
old mans heart.
How could the boy be saved?
For years the old man had studied the
problem, but whiskey had the boy tight
and fast He was always waiting for
some one to come and offer the advice
that was, to let the boy begin anew.
Years passed. 1t never came.
But it came the night old man Black
pool died.

one of themost ghastly, inhuman wrongs
ever done.

who had indulged a good deal at the
wake.
"We'll stand him up in bed"
"Yes."
"And give him his last drink on earth.
You know the old man never drank any
of the poison. He left that all to his
son. Where is that boy, anyway Now,
| propose that the old man taste the
stuff before he is planted"
Sandy Mcbride opened the icebox and
proceeded to unroll the rubber blanket
that was wrapped around the old man.
Mcbride poured out stiff glass and
offered il to the corpse.
Just then there was a loud noise in
the hall. The son reeled into the room.
Oh, my God, it all came to him,
drunk as he was, in moment. He had
come to see his father die, but he had
never dreamed of more. The weird
sight made him instantly as sober as a
judge. The manhood that had so long
been slumbering suddenly leaped like
fash His gun came into play. Sandy
Mcbride, the gambler, dropped dead in
his tracks. The rest of the gang leaped
for windows and doors.
It had come at last.

would sleep well out there under the

Friday David Whipple chopped three
dormant black snakes out of a maple
log at his sugar camp, in Jackson town
ship. He placed them in kettle and
hung the kettle over the fire, and in a
few minutes the snakes began to crawl
around in the kettle as though summer
had come. When they had got to act
ing very lively Mr., Whipple dumped
them in the snow and they soon began
to become stiff and sleepy again. Then
he put the snakes in lukewarm water,
and they stuck their heads above the
rim of the vessel and gazed around to
see whether it was summer OF not.
Presently they crawled out and Mr..
Whipple chopped their heads off. .-Scran-

The Sun Cholera Mixture.

The vetelan editor Of the New York
journal OF Commerce pays editorial
tribute to the medical prescription
which has come TO be known as the Sun
cholcla mixture, and the Constitution
desires to join its esteemed cOntempO-
rary in making the remedy known.
Mir. Stone says that the remedy was
given to the public more than twenty
years ago, but this is slip of the pen
or Of the types. 1t was given to the
public more than forty years ago, and
since that time it has done q world of
good, not only in cholera cpidemics, but
in all arrangements that possess the
cholera symptOmS-ln cases Of cholera
mOrbu5 and in dangerous attacks Of
diarrhWa.
The prescription was drawn up by a
numbe Of eminent physicians of New
\ FORK, and published in the SUMS edi-
columns. This fact has given the rem
edy the name Of the Sun cholera mix
tule. The editor of the journal of
Commerce has seen it in constant use
for nearly two score of years and found
it to be the best remedy for bowel
troubles ever yet devised. No one
who has had this by him and takes it in
time will ever have the cholera.
The writer of this has seen this rem
edy employed for more than twenty
years, and it has never failed in any
case of bowel trouble when taken
promptly. He has seen it give almost
instant relief in the disease almost as
violent as genuine cholera) which en-
sues when the deviled crab and the
milk punch meet in the bosom Of the
careless epicure. 1t is remedy that
ought to be in every household, whether
there is danger from the cholera or not.
This is the prescription:
Take equal parts Of tincture of cay
enne pepper, tincture of opium, tincture
of rhubarb, essence of peppermint and
spirits Of camphor. Mix well. Dose,
fifteen to thirty drops in little cold
water, accordlng.to age and violence of
symptoms, repeated every fifteen or
twenty minutes until relief is OBJ
tained.H
1t will do no harm if an equal part of
fine brandy is added to the rest. In vi
client cases of cholera morbus or genu-
inc cholera, it is best to prepare two
doses, so that if the first is thrown off |
the stomach the second can be given |
Immediately. There need be no fear of |
collapse when this medicine is given |
