Pleasures Of Memory.

What a blessed thing is memory .
How it brings up the pleasures of the
past, and hides its unpleasantnesses
You recall your childhood days, do You
not. and wish they would return ? You
remember the pleasant associations,
while the unpleasant mes are for
gotten. Perhaps to your mind comes
the face Of some friend. 1T was once a
pale, sad face. 1t showed marks of
pain, lines of care. 1t seemed to be
looking into the hereafter, the un-
known future. And then you recal'e ed
how 1t frightened, how it recovered
its rosy hue, how it became a picture
of happiness and joy. DO you remem
Der these things? Many people do,
and gladly tell how the health re-
turned, how happiness came back, how
the world seemed bright. They tell
how they were once weak, ~nerveless.
perhaps in pain, certainly unhappy.
They tell Of sleepless nights, restless
days, untouched food, unstrung nerves
And then they tell how they became
happy, healthy and strong once more.
You have heard il often in the past,
have you not? You have heard people
describe how they were cured and
kept in health? You certainly can
remember what it is that has SO
h elped people in America. II not, lis.
ten TO what Mrs. Anna Jenness Miller,
who is known universally as the great
dress reformer, says: six years ago.
when suffering from mental care and
ove~.serk, received tbe most pro-
nounced benefit from the use Of that
great medicine, Warmers Safe Cure
All, now you remember. Now you
recall how many people you have
heard say this same thing. Now you
rccoilect~ how much you have heard OF
this great Cure. Now you are ready
to admit that memory is usually pleas
ing, that the highest pleasure comes
from perfect health, and that this
great remedy has done more to pro-
duce and prolong health than any
other discovery ever known in the
entire history of the whole world

1T RESPECTS THE LAW.

The Lottery Cornpany's Good Faith.
Washington telegram to Globe Democrat.
The New Orleans Postmaster, Capt s
honest and shrewd. He is n great friend
of Warmoth. but he has backed up the
Postmaster~General's efforts vigorously In
the tight on the lottery.
The year before the warfare began Mr..
Eaton says the Lottery Company bought
at the New Orleans office sl05, 600 worth Of
stamps and stamped envelopes. For that
same year the total revenue Of the Office
was S4f6,0O0 So IL appears that the Lot
terry Company contributed within $1,000 OF
o~ne-fourth Of the entire revenue of the
Office
BY the action of the department in en-
forcing the anti-lottery law passed by
Congress- this postal revenue from the
lottery company became a dead loss
Last years receipts by the New Orleans
Office reached a total of s35s .0OO The day
before Capt. Eaton started to this G. nfer-
ence the lottery company posted in all its
branch Offices in New Orleans q notice to
this effect
THE Supreme Court of the
United States having decided the
anti-lottery postal law to be
constitutional, 1t Is hereby ordered and
directed hat no one in the employ of this
company shall mail q letter which In any
way refers directly or indirectly to the
business Of the lottery 1t must be under
stood that this company will aid In the en-
forcement Of this law"
II think that this notice Is honest and
Sincere" said Capt. Eaton. and the com .
pany means just what IL says"

No others heard the conversation,
and the conductor himself forgot
about it as he punched his way toward
the end of the train. After awhile he
came back and the old man interrupts
ed him with:
whats the name of my station2"
"Marleton-down the road--other
side of the tunnel. I'll tell you when
you get there"
The old man settled back and
seemed to muse on the frivolities Of
mankind, as exempliiied by the young
couple in front of him. They were in
love, evidently, and the old man
seemed to enjoy watching them. So
did everybody in the ear. A placid
expression was slipping into his face,

Strengthened up, and when the man in
blue reached him he wearied him
with:
Il can't remember the name of that
~station-I just can't. Er-say-er-
couldn't you just call my name in
stead? My name is Cook-the Rev.
James Cook"
Don't know about that. See that
man down there? His name is Cook"
WELL, I'm older'n him, so you just
holler the Rev. James Cook, senior"
The conductor laughed and said he
would. Then he went into the smoker
and told the brakeman about the crank
he had back there and both of them
laughed.
The train stopped again and again,
and again and again whisked off, and
in the sweetness of security and the
softness of a cushioned seat the old
man dozed. The newsboy banged in
one door and banged out the other but
the old mar moved no more than the
motion of the train made him. The
young couple in the next seat chatted
aud giggled-especially giggled-and
the Rev. James Cook, senior, slept.
The porter came through and put
down the windows. Then there was
d~arkness-the clatter of wheels-the
clash of q thousand echoes-the smell
Of smokc-and daylight came back.
The train slowed up with a loud hiss
and the wheels rolled into q station in
comparative stiffness.
The Rev. James Cook, senior!!"
IL don't care ii he did," said the
feminine half of the young couple, with
o tilt of her head; "we're married"
And the old man stepped from the
train, wondering whether that whole
carfull of people were laughing at the
conductor. the girl or himself.

Why He Did II.

A short time ago. as ] was crossing
Market street, near Twenty-second
street. a boy not over ten years old,
who had been walking just before me,
ran! into the street aud picked up q
broken glass pitcher. supposed he in
tended the pieces as missiles, since the
desire to throw something seems in
stinct in every boy. Consequently l
was much surprised when he tossed
the pieces into q vacant lot at the cor
ner and walked quietly on. AS he
passed me whistling, i said:
why did you pick upthat pitcher9"
Il was afraid 1t intght cut some
horses foot" he replied.
My next question was n natural one:
Are you a Band Of Mercy boya"
He smiled as he said: "Oh. yes;
that's why l did It,"
The hands Of mercy were drawn very
closely around the dear little fellows
heart, | am sure.--Schoof and Home.

EMU.MULE.
A Difference of Only One Letter In the
Names of the Two AbIest Kickcrs.

DR.. J.. +. Usher Of London, fellow Of
the Royal Geographical Society and y
sportsman of note, who has been in
Arabia and other remote parts Of the
globe hunting for big game, has ar
rived here from North Queensland and
the desert region known as the North
Territory, in Australia. This is an
enormous stretch of country thou
sands of miles in area, infested by
cannibals. in which are giant emus.
nombat and wallaby. Ii was to hunt
the emu that DR.. Usher made his trip
there.
a party of us went up in that far
north region he said last night. ave
were among the c~annibals, who are
great in size, being six and a half feet
high and physically perfect. 1t is a
dry, sandy region for the most part.
Emus in large numbers are TO be
found over this territory. We hunted
them on horseback, and it was rare
sport, for the reason hat they can run
as fast as a horse, and a very good one
at that. We found the catching Of
emus almost as interesting as cours-
ing, besides having a certain spice of
danger about il
AN emu can kick as hard as a
horse. | have seen men kicked so
hard by this vicious bird that their
legs were broken. If | had my choice
of being kicked by Il horse or an m
/ think | would take the horse. The
emu stands on one leg, and with the
other strikes a quick and most par
alyZing blow. | never would have be-
lieved that IA bird had such power had
/ not had ocular evidence of it during
this trip. After two or three of our
men had suffered from the terrific
kicks Of these birds we did not venture
near them, but after running our
horses till We got close enough would
bring them down with our rifles. We
did not approach them till we knew
they were dead. We killed them for
their feathers, although they are not
so valuable as those of the ostrich.
ave also hunted for their eggs,
which are to be found in the sand, but
indoing this we took care not TO coli
Tide with the emu. The eggs are more
in demand than the feathers. They
are very beautiful, and are so tough
that it is difficult TO break them. Pro-
fessional curio makers drill a hole in
each end, take the inside out, and then
the shell is carved and mounted in
silver. There are three layers of the
shell, and the carving is done so as TO
show three colors. The silver is set in
the first layer, so thick is it, and when
it is all carved and orpamented by the
silver il is handsome."-SdH Francisco
Chronicle.
