The Beauty Standard.

The standard of female loneliness varies
greatly in different countries and with indivi-
dual tastes. Some prefer the plump and
buxom type; some admire the slender and
sylph-like, and some the tall and queenly
maiden. But among all people of the Caucasian
race, one point of beauty is always admired-a
pure, clear and spotless complexion-whether
the female be of the blonde, brunette, or hazel
eyed type. This first great requisite of lowell
ness can be assured only by II pure state of
the blood, active liver good appetite and diges-
ton, ali of which are secured by the use of DR..

willing to save His Teacher.

Mr.. Froude tells a story Of how a native
Maori chief, Tekoi, managed to turn the
tables upon his missionary teacher. The
chief had been frequently warned by him
against the evil of indulgence in fire
water" a day came, however, when the
missionary, in danger Of catching cold, felt
constrained to fortify himself with glass
of whisky toddy. At the moment he was
about to raise the tempting fluid to his
lips q dusky figure appeared, and, laying
his finger on the glass, said: stop, little
father If you drink firewater you will
lose your health; you will lose your char
acter. Perhaps you will lose your life.
Nay, little father, you will lose-but that
shall not be. Your immortal soul is more
precious than mine. The drink will hurt
me less than it will hurt you. To save
your soul will drink it myself" Which
he did forthwith.-San Francisco Argo-
naut.

1t might almost be said of the late
Duke of Marlborough that nothing in
his life became him like the leaving it.
He had the justice to get'his life insured
for 81, 1000, 900 year or two before he
died, in order to at least partially reim-
burse his American wife for the sum she
spent on Blenheim castle. This insur-
ance she now gets. When she began
her repairs on Blenheim house she mort
gagged some of her American property
for half a million in order to get ready
money. Marlborough also purchased
with his wife's money the pictures, tap
estry and bric-a-brac for Blenheim in his
American wife's name. She can now
therefore claim them and take them out
of the rehabilitated castle.

Epbraim,s Comfort in Addiction.

A venerable colored citizen on Bates
street was shoveling coal ashes into bar
rel, Friday, and the rising dust had chung
to his features and shrouded his form.
He was working near a large pile OF
them, and in his haste he overstepped the
bounds of his physical powers, and slipping
in the mud rolled over in the ashes until
he looked like wrath.
A man was fortunately passing by just
in time to see the better half of the mis-
placed colored gentleman rush from the
door and gaze around after her lord and
master.
"Ephrum, whar you be, chile@
"Chile" didn't answer.
"Fo' de Lawd, whar yo' be, my Ephrum;
oh, whar yo' beY"
With long and melancholy groan Eph-
rain answered from behind the pile of coal
ashes: AN de Lawd spoke TO de chillen oh
Isrul by de piller of fire by night an by
an by de piller of coal ashes by day.
Whaffor you come out here 'sturbin a

How They Robbed the Marquis.

In the old range cattle boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
were a good many sharp tricks prac-
ticed in delivering cattle. II is recalled
that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to
cut such conspicuous figure as a revo-
lutionizer of the American meat trade,
and who later became notorious as a
duelist, was badly sold. While in Da-
kota he bought 10000 head of cattle
from two Englishmen. They were first
class cattle and cost forty dollars head.
When these two Britons delivered the
cows they worked one of the neatest
Skin" games that was ever heard of.
Medora, you know, sits in valley, with
table lands en- each side.
Well, the Englishmen ran 5000 head
of cattle in on the marquis and collected
for 10000. The way they did it was by
running the same 5000 twice around the
hill. De Mores never "tumbled" until
he had paid his 100000 and the merry
cockneys were bound for South Amer.
lea. 1t was clear steal of 5000, 900, but
the marquis didn't make much bones
about it. He had plenty of money and
didn't care.-Chicago Drovers' Journal

The senatorial contest already begins
to wax hot-at least between the papers
of Seattle and Spokane, with an occa-
sional comment from the Tacoma jour
mails. The merits of the several candi-
dates in the field are about equal, as at
present shown by their official organs,
but the general experience in such mat
tiers leads to the conclusion that some
other candidate, whose head has not
yet shown above the political horizon,
may turn up at the acute stage and
carry off the honors. Whoever sue
ceeds in reaching the goal it is to be
hoped that the scenes of the preceding
senatorial election will not be repeated.
What is needed on the part of the sue
cessful candidate is mind broad as his
constituency, plus the remaining por-
tons Of the state. The principal diff
Guilty heretofore has been that while
Seattle has had two senators its outly-
ing suburbs haven't had any, except
the redoubtable member of the lower
house, who has had his hands full look
ing after the interests of the other por-
tons of Washington, and who, by the
way, has given a faithful record of his
stewardship. Perhaps President Har-
rison's successor had this state in his
mind as well as New York in saying
that the Interests of the state demand
the selection of a senator who can orig
mate and promote policies that may be
presented for the consideration of the
senate. In order to insure this the sem
ator to be elected should be man not
only experienced in public affairs, but
one who has clear conception of the
vital interests with which we must
deal during the next few years"

scandinsvians in America.

We learn various facts of interest
from Professor Boyesen's paper in The
North American Review discussing the
Scandinavian element in the United
States. One is that the citizens from
Norway and Sweden always vote the
Republican ticket and will continue to
do SO till time shall be no more. If, in
view of certain recent affecting dispen-
sations, this fact will be any satisfac-
ton to the Republican party, we gladly
give prominence to it. The reason as
signed for it by Professor Boyesen is,
however, odd. 1t is not because Swedes
and Norsemen love the Republicans so
much as because they hate the Irish.
There is, Professor Boyesen tells us, an
irreconcilable feud between Irish and
Scandinavian so great that if the i'm
possible should happen and the Irish
under any circumstances vote the Re
publican ticket, then the Scandinavians
would Immediately jump the fence and
go Democratic. This is unfortunate If
true to the extent the writer says.
Scandinavians are strong, slow, sturdy
and manly, with the courage, endurance
and love of freedom their ancestors drew
in with the wild sea air still abiding in
their souls. They save money and thrive,
and adapt themselves easily to Amer
lean institutions. Their worst vice is
drunkenness, which probably they also
inherited with the old Viking blood in
their veins. But it is cheerful to know
they are not so bad in this respect in the
United States as they were in the old
country, and that the temperance move
ment is at present making rapid progress
among our Swedes and Norsemen in the
northwest.
Another fact deprecated by Professor
Boyesen is that these immigrants send
back to the ancestral countries for
preachers and school teachers, and keep
up the old language and old notions. 1t
is great misfortune, for these bunker
Lutheran preachers and schoolmasters
are full of prejudices against American
life and manners, and have no adequate
knowledge of the kind of instruction
young American citizens ought to re-
ceive.
Our total Scandinavian population, in
GLIDING Danes, Swedes and Norwegians,
numbers 100000. They are learning
, Yankee politics rapidly too. The pres.
emit congress contains four representa-,
, tives of this race, while Hon. Knut<
Nelson, the newly elected governor d
Minnesota. is a Norwegian.

1t was ON the Stormy division of the
c. B. and Q. it happened, when Superin-
tendent Dugan's jurisdiction embraced
that division. The east bound passen-
ger train, then called the Cannon Ball,
had on board five corpses, through
from Denver, in charge of the train
baggage man. 1t was in June, and the
weather was hot. The baggage man find
ing the atmosphere in the baggage car be-
coming undesirable moved three boxes
containing a corpse each to the plat
form of his car outside, one on top of
the other.
AS the train was nearing Ottumwa,
the baggage man upon looking out was
Mortified to discover one of the boxes
missing. Surlnisiug that one of the boxes
had slid off in rounding curve, owing
TO the high rate of speed the train had
been running, he wired Superintendent
Dugan Immediately upon arrival of the
train at Ottumwa, apprising him of the
loss. Dugan wired the section foreman
at Ottumwa as follows:
Patrick McGann-LOok for corpse
lost off Cannon Ball three miles west of
Ottumwa and report condition of same
when found"
Patrick Immediately started out with
the section gang, and found the box in
tact and brought the same to Ottumwa.
1t was seldom that Patrick received or
ders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate supe-
rior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time to win promotion had arrived,
and after reading Dugan's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his super
intendent as follows:
''Mishter Doogun-I hev found the
koropse, and the koropse was died."
The operators expostulations were in
vain, and Patrick would permit no
change in the message, saying:

Children and Intelligent Dogs,

dren, has carefully recorded the life his
tories and early trials of two pet kittens
and found constant occasion to draw analo-
gies between the kittens and infantsl Both
show at parallel stages of development the
appearance of the same faculties, often in
strikingly similar forms. Just as infants
learn to distinguish between men and
women, between persons differently
dressed, between old and young, kindred
and stranger, so an intelligent dog learns
to distinguish between visitors and beg
gars, between strangers and friends of the
family, between those who will fondle him
and those who will not.-Joseph Jastrow,

Manager Whitmore, of the Light

needed reform in his announcement
that hereafter the curtain will rise

taken out of consideration for the en-

play, as well as in justice to those who
are in the theater at the time adver-
tised for the performance to begin. 1t
is an affair which concerns no one else

there is no reason why premium
should be placed on his hardness and
