To be cautious in the choice Of medi-
cines. Many are injured by trying ex-
perinents with compounds purporting
to be blood purifiers, the principal
recommendation of which would seem
TO be their "cheapness." Being made
up of worthless, though not always
harmless, ingredients, they may well
be "cheap;" but, in the end, they are
dear. The most reliable medicines are
costly, and can be retailed at mod
crate prices. only when the manufacture

some AIlered I,Ir snlnrIsa

The story is being told in New York that the proprietor of certain well known morning newspaper has made an offer to a successful publisher of Chi 'eago to come to New York for iivo yeais at an annual salary of $i00,00O Whether this report bo true or not, 1t has occa. stoned good deal of gossip.
 Perhaps in nothing moro than in tho question of salaries is there so much said that is untrue, I have no rloubt there are q small number of gentlemen who are paid from $25 900 to $l00 .00o n year for their services, but whetherIhsy gro worth it or not is another qGestion. The tendency is always to oxaggerate on the salary question anyhow, and it :s more than likely that not half the sum mentioned is actually paid to any man.
 It is the same way with the authors of books, A little while ago it was said that Ward McAllister had received $25,- 900 for his published volume on "Soci- cty as l Have Found 1t, Mr. McAllis- ter now comes Tcrward and spells this pretty fiction by stating positively that he received only about $3,70O, and that Is why he hesitates about accepting an offer made to him by Chicago firm of publishers He says thero is no money in books
 The men who arc paid sl00, ,000 a year in Now York for any services whatever are 60 few as to bo lonesome. Those who receive $50, ,0o0 could probably be inside of hundred Those who receive $25, GOO a year are of course morn nunsss aus, but there are not enough of them to cause any very general dis turhance in financial centers. And l. am quite inclined tc the belief that any man who receives from $l0,O0O to S20, 900 year as salary is, likc the famous Reilly who kept the hotel, doing exceedingly well, Foster Coates in New York Mail and Express,

Sian Against shark.

4 desperate fight between a man and a shark occurred recently in Manukau harbor Mir Henry Jacobson. who is employed at the North Manukau Heads as beacon light keeper. was out in his boat about six miles down the harbor when it was struck by a squall and swamped and the occupant left in tho water. Jacobson dived and eudeayored to relieve the ballast, but without sue cess. He then graspcd an oar, and being | good swimmer struck out for land; but a5 strong tide was running he was swept down tho harbor a distance of three miles. At that point he was at- tackled by large shark, which grabbed at his hand. He protected himself, how ever, with the oas, which he tried to ram down the sharks throat
 The fish then made circle around him, and renewed the attack. By this time, however. Jacobson had his sheath knife drawn, and desperately stabbed the shark, ripping it's side open, so that the water became red with blood A further attack wsa nude, when Jacob son again stabbed the monster near the tail, and it swan away. At that time a boat came in sight, and Jacobson, ex- hausted. was hauled into tho boat, hay. ing been in the water two hours and 'airty minutes. New Zealand Herald

A Dogs Fidelity,

A living example of a dogs fidelity ia presented by that noble Newfoundland owned by the late Oscar C. McCullocb
 He IS a large dark brown follow and is woll known to tE5 congregation of the
 Plymor,h church He was generally permitted to attend church services dur. ing the life of his master, and in fact was consideSed a privileged character about the institute. CL rare occasions he was even dignifed with a place at the Rev. McCullochs feet in the pulpit. At the meeting Of the National Assacia- ton of Charities Inst year at Plymouth church this dog appeared regularly oyery morning and afternoon upon the ros- rum with his master.
 The dog still goes tochurch and walks about the room as though he were look ing for somebody-no doubt he Is. Ere. quently be curls up under a seat in the auditorium at the beginning Of services. and if anybody attempts to take the seat over him he offers prompt protest that settles matters. This dog is very pupu lar about the church and k as dignifed Ss any potentate wider the sun, but when it comes 10 q question of personal rights the handsome canine Is decidedly patriotic. .-Indianapolis Journal

Character or the, German Emperor.


 The new emperor, ou mounting the throne, was of course expected to sus- tain tho policy of minister whom his grandfather had honored with every mark tlfat loyal subject or even a money loving Onocould ask. Tho reign of Frederick III, less than hundred days had been too short and too tull of phys ical suffering to let tho world know the strength aud breadth of the ruler whom Bismarck next appeared to represent, In his successor the Germans have an emperor who has not only abundant physical energy and endurance, but has with it 8 contempt for humbug, social ism and tue crooked police methods that always suggest feeble pr rotten execu. tive. He IS a practical manager and does not pretend to be q savior of So ciety. He has no quaek uoStrlm f0y poverty, crime, prostitution or the dis content that gets class against class.
 His business Is to see that the govern ment machine runs smoothly, that com. petent men are employed, that the poo. ple's taxes arc spent for the public good. that the law Is administered without favor and that reforms are inquired lpto. He has the mind of d Yankee, he loves experiment, his methods arc di. rect He Is the sort of man that foSg6s to the front in n new country We can imagine him learning his trade in some machine shop, then rapidly rising to a position whero inventive talent, thor oughness, patience and, above all, hon eSty tell--say at the head of some grea: manufacturing or shipbuilding enter prise.
