Alister, the Talbot Club, Plccadilly."
The girl repeated the words slowly to i'm
press them on her memory.
"Thank you, Mr.. Alister, and good
night"
She shook hands with him and in a mo-
ment was gone.
"This is queer CO." exclaimed Alister,
looking after her. 81 wonder what her
story is? Poor, little woman; suppose
It's the old one-a little work girl who's
come to grief and wants to keep straight if
she can. L suppose I shall never see my
fver again"
Mr.. John Alister was what is popularity
known as a good fellow. He had inherited
a considerable sum of money from his
father at the age of 25 and he had had his
fling with it. At the age of S5 he was a
little tired of the game, and he sat down
TO look the future in the face. He saw that
if he went on at the rate he had been going
he would be left in an uncomfortable posi-
tion, so he dropped some of his expensive
habits, reckoned up his available capital,
found that bv investing it he would be sure
to secure $500 a year, and this he presently
did. Then he looked about him for means
of employing his leisure and keeping
himself out of mischief He found sec
Tetaryship was worth another $500 and the
duties of which were not too onerous
On thousand year he could live COM
fortably in set of modest chambers, and
having no desire to marry he was able to
live pleasant, enjoyable life.
Enjoying himself in this way, it was not
likely that his adventure in Piccadily
would make any great impression upon
him. In few nights he had forgotten it
altogether; and it was, therefore, with con-
siderable astonishment that about month
afterward, opening letter one evening
which had been sent to the club for him, he
found in it brand new five-pound note.
Fora moment he thought it must be from
some friend who owed him a fver for bet
which he had forgotten, or something Of
that kind; but when he had read the letter
in which the note was inclosed his curious
adventure in Piccadilly came back to him
at once.
This was the letter: ''Sir-I send you
back the monev you so kindly lent me one
night in Piccadilly. I shall ALWAYS be
grateful for your kindness. Yours sincere
", Lillian Wilson"
"Well, I'm hanged" exclaimed John
AliSter, as he looked at the note. sHThis
is honesty with vengeance 1 never ex-
pected to see that again. Poor little girl.
I hope she has not put herself to any
trouble to pay this again. She was vel

THAT CHINESE WALL.

HI A II CftlN HSE " ALLs
 The free traders said the Mckinley tariff would build higher the Chinese wall around the country and shut off more foreign trade. Here are some facts: Ex- ports for year ending March 31, 1S90- none of the year under the Mckinley law, $842, ,95S, ,403. Exports for year ending March 31, 1S91-part of the year under the Mckinley law, ss72, ,O0s, ,2s6. Exports for year ending March 31, 1s92-all the year under the Mckinley law, $1,0O6,2 506. For the period wholly under the Mckinley law our exports are $134, ,0O0, ,0OO greater than for the last similar period wholly under the preceding law.
 London Engineering, one of the leading trade journals of England, complains that the Mckinley tariff has decreased Eng lands export trade, and it adds: The bill was intended to foster native industries, especially the tin plate industry, and this it is doing, to a very satisfactory extent from the American point of view, and just so much as it has stimulated American in Ou'oAAeo "' ooo oAPonSo oh out o"h, oy just that extent it is regarded with favor by large majority in the United States, no matter what their shades of political opinion may be. There is a somewhat general idea in this country that the Me Kinley tariff bill will be repealed before long, or at all events be so much modified that the sting will be taken out of those clauses most objectionable to British man. ufscturers; and it is for this reason that the hopes of the Democrats for the ap- preaching presidential election are so largely shared in this country.
 Of course, the hopes of the Democrats are shared in England. And their disap pointment will also be shared there.

Some Sound Advice 10 a Good Many
 Fellows.
 From the New York Commercial Bulletin.J
 Where will the ffty-dollar-s month clerks one sees in fire insurance offices be twenty years from nowl
 This is a question which the fire under writer asks himself as he passed through the large fire insursnce offices in this city. It is, however, of much more importance to the junior clerks, although but few of them appreciate it. To the junior clerk, therefore, we address ourselves in the hope of bringing him to a clear realization of his position and the necessity of bestir- ring himself if he wishes ever to amount to anything. What are you doing to qual- ify yourself for a better place than you now have and one which will be in line of promotioni The day has gone by when mere "pull" could be all powerful. Your father, uncle or friend may be a director, or even an officer of the company, but that will aid you little if you are not help ing yourself.
 As you sit at your desk do you think about your work or lawn tennis, the fur nishing of your mind with insurance in- formation or the decoration of your feet with tan shoes7 Are you looking forward more anxiously to pay day than for an opening to do more and better workl In what general direction do your thoughts turnl Linguists say that the man who wishes rapidly to learn @ language must not only be in the country where 1t is spoken, but must think in it. You are in the fire insurance country, but do you "think in it." The average fire insurance clerk cares more for baseball than busi- ness, and gives 1t & higher place in his thoughts. If asked whether he would like a chance to go on the road it is ten to one he thinks you mean he can take the train to his home in the suburbs Does it satis- fy you to forever register or file the daily reports somebody else has passed, or if pride does not stimulate you, have you no desire to get better salary than half what @ good carpenter receivesl
 The man who comes in at the last min ute in the morning and leaves ss early as permissible in the afternoon, thinking meanwhile of everything but the compa- ny's interest, is discounting his future. To go out in the field under an experienced special agent is @ chance to be earnestly sought for and prized if obtained; but how few among the clerks of to-day try for any of these openings, or would ap- preciate an offer of ore. The various in- spection bureaus, which give notably good training, have difficulty in securing really promising recruits. Wake up, our fifty dollar friend. Time is flying and soon the period in which you could have learned rapidly and easily will have slipped by. In few years, perhaps this year, you may wish to marry and settle down, Your present salary would not 20 very far were you to leave the parental roof and attempt to establish home of your own.

After the Influenza.

The period of convalescence from intlu- enza is full of pit falls, and is often very prolonged. Relapses in cases which at first seemed very slight are extremely common, and very often dangerous. Many of the fatal cases have been due to early neglect, and the only plan is to see doctor, and re- main under him until quite we'll, however slight the attack may seem at first.
 To give advice suitable to all cases is clearly impossible. In the convalescent stage it is the individual patient with all his peculiarities. hereditary and acquired, that has to be treated; not the disease which has passed away. This can only be done satisfactorily by his own family doc- tor. Still few words of general advice may be of service in helping people to re- cover from influenza.
 In the first place do not put any faith in certain cure or specific. No two cases of influenza are alike, and each has to be treated on its own peouliarities and those of its unfortunate owner. There is no one drug for influenza. Take any three cases of influenza. A time may arrive when one of these may present chisfy the characters of convalescent from severe bronchitis; second, those of trouble some and painful case of indigestion; while the third may show itself e . pro found and intrsctabls nervous depression. 70 trsst thsss v!th pas dEug wopla hs q

A DUBIOUS CURE.


 The "gold cure" for drunkenness isn't as popular as it was. Some of the cured have died, others have Ielapsed into drunkenness, and others have become in sane. And now arises A. W. Jackson, 0 prominent physician and member of vari- ous American and foreign medical socie ties, and says that the gold cure is even worse than humbug. In the first place, there is no "bichloride of gold" in the Keeley solution, according to Dr. Jackson, for the simple reason that no such solu- ton can be made. There is double chloride salt of gold and soda, but that can't be combined with anything else, as the soda precipitates. He says that the Keeley solution containes atropine, strych- nia, caffein, cocosine and codeine. He says that it would be dangerous to publish the exact proportions of each of these ingre- dients, for some one might try to com pound dose with the result that it would not only cure him of chronic alcoholism but of every other ill. Dr. Jackson says that Keeley gives the cure to every man alike without regard to whether one is victim of the opium, alcohol or cigarette habit. As a result he misses as often as he hits. But aside from that, the atropia in the mixture instead of curing the alcohol habit is liable to create the atropia habit, which is even more deadly, according to Dr. Jackson. The doctor in this connection warns druggists against giving Keeley graduates elixir of calisaya for which they are liable to call as temperance tonic. On this point Dr. Jackson says: 'Let a patient once take a drink of it and he is gone. The druggist had better put pistol to the drunkard's head"
 If what Dr. Jackson says is true the ''golden cure" will soon be utterly discred- ited. The efforts to make money fast out of it, and the experiences of some of the "cured," have already done much to make it very dubious.
