Brought Its Own Answer.

Among the stories Of extraordinary
condolences. writes the London CORE
spondent Of the Leeds Mercury, not
the least curious is the history of a let
ter, for the accuracy of which he can
vouch. A short time ago lady in Lon
don wished to write to friend in
America, whose address she did not
know. The only means she had of pro-
curing the address was to write to a
mutual friend, who also lived in Ameri-
ca. This she accordingly did, and the
letter was duly dispatched. The ship
which carried the letter was wrecked,
and the mails for time lost They
were eventually recovered and brought
back to England, the letters, now much
damaged by sea water, being returned
through the dead letter office to the
senders.
The letter in question was sent back
to the lady, who naturally examined
II infinitely. To her surprise she found
that another letter had become closely
stuck to it. Holding up the twofold
missive to the light, she deciphered the
address on the one which was stuck to
her own. 1t was letter addressed to
the friend to whom she had wished to
write, and to discover whose where
abouts her own letter had been dis
patched. Her letter thus literally
brought back it's own answer

Brandy Struggled in Posles.

The French customs officers who are
are stationed at the gates of Paris to
guard against eXcisable goods entering
without paying the duty have occasion
ally to deal with very ingenious at
tempts at smuggling. Last week, for
instance, an attempted fraud was laid
bare which goes to show how fertile the
contrahandists are In eXpedlents. At
of a pony cart, in which were three large
wooden boxes, attempted to pass the
barriers. "Have you anything to de-
clare ?'' asked one of the officials.
Nothing" said the man, unless
government has put q tax on cemetery
wreaths," and as he spoke he drew the
lid off one of the boxes, revealing q
number of the Wreaths and crosses OF
artificial flowers so common in French
burying grounds. The man was about
to pass on when something about him
aroused the suspicious of the chief Off
cIal. He took the cover off one of the
boxes, and admired the beauty of the
flowers and their remarkable fidelity to
nature. Lifting one casually in his
hand, he found it was remarkably
heavy, and closer examination showed
that when stripped of flowers and moss
it was zinc case filed with the finest
brandy. The rest of the contents Of
the boxes were of the same nature, and
were at once coniscated. As frauds Of
the kind are severely punished by the
Partisan authorities, the ingenious in
ventor of the trick will probably be al
lowed leisure enough in Mazas to de-
sign something novel;

Legend of the Devils Bridge.

The Devils Bridge in Switzerland is a
wonderful single arch thrown over the
Reuss, and it is said the torrent carried
away all the bridges which could be
constructed over its bed. One day the
people came and told the baiiiff of the
canton of Uri that the newest and the
best bridge ever built had been carried
away the night before. To describe
the bailif's fury would be impossible
None but the devil" said he, lean
ever accomplish this work"
Upon these words the baliffs servant
appeared with convulsed features, an
nouncing in trembling voice, ellis
Satanic Majesty" The devil entered
with a low bow. He was dressed like a
Swiss peasant, and his long tail hung
below his trousers behind. He seated
himself at ease In a armchair, and rest
ing his cloyen feet on the glowing
brands in the fireplace: "You called
me. [ believe?"
Moves" replied the bailiff.
''For the construction of q bridge ?"
continued the devil
''The service you speak Of would be
Of inestimable value to u.s."
For nothing you get nothing says
the prOverb," continued Satan.
eve expended ten ounces Of gold for
pay you double that sum for the bridge
you would engage to build for u.s."
Bah If you have nothing but
money to offer me, you may keep it. I
have all the money / care for" And
picking up d glowing coal from the fire
with his fingers he put it into the bail
IFS money bag, when, for marvel, the
coal became an ingot Of gold as cold as
morsel of ice.
Very well, then, what will you
have?"
"Here, read and sign this paper; that
is what | wish" and drawing a paper
from his pocket the devil laid it before
the bailih'.
The latter read as follows: "satan
shall have for his own the first soul
which shall pass over the bridge, which
he, Satan, engages to build in single
night"
The bailiff, after a moments refiec-
ton, wrote his name below the agree
ment; the devil did the same, put the
Iaoer into his pocket, and disappeared,
leaving strong odor OF sulphur behind
him.
The next day superb bridge spanned
the Reuss, and the builder sat on a
stone IN the road, waiting for his prom
ised reward. Suddenly in the distance
he saw the bailiff coming, carrying a
sack on his back.
''How is thisp' cried the devil; care
you coming to cross the bridge first, my
dear friend-to sacrifice yourself for
your compatriots ?"
'Not precisely" replied the other, in
a hooking tone. Then he stopped and
let down his sack at the end of the
bridge, united the cord that bound it.
and let out Of it great black cat. which
crossed the bridge with rapid bounds.
Wretch y screamed the devil, "you
thought you would trick me, but it will
do you no good;" and, taking up an
immense mass Of rock, he was about to
annihilate his work, when a procession
Of priests appeared with the cross borne
before them, and banners flying, to
bless the bridge. At this sight Satan
quickly dropped the rock and disap-
peared, bowling in disappointment and
rage.
When the bailif put his hand into
his money bag for the ingot of gold, he
burned his fingers Oh red-hot coal.

Spring Medicine Needed by Nearly
EVERYBODY

In the spring months the necessity of q
good biood-purifying, strengthening medi
cine is felt by the large majority of people.
During the winter various impurities accu-
mulate in the blood, as a consequence of
close confinement in poorly ventilated ten
ements, stores and workshops, or too high
living. Therefore, when the milder
weather comes, the blood is unable to sus-
tain the various organs of the body which
need additional strength, and the cOnse-
quence is ''that tired feeling" biliousness,
sick headache, possibly dyspepsia, or the
appearance of some blood disorder. So
popular has hoods Sarsaparllla be-
come at this season that 1t is now general
~ admitted to be The STANDARD SPRING
MEDICINE. 1t thoroughly purifes and Vi
tallZes the blood. creates good appetite,
cures biliousness and headache, overcomes
that tired feeling, gives healthy action TO
the kidneys and liver, and imparts to the
whole body a feeling of health and
strength. Try it this spring.

BEAUTY.
An Essay, but Very short and Very Much
to the Point.

An Essay, but Very short and Very Much
to the Point.
Beauty is only skin deep" What's
the sense in that saying? What good
would it do person to be beautiful
say, for an inch in depth? He wouldn't
know it unless be was skinned. More
over, beauty is not to be measured with
pocket rule it is an definite sort of
quality that needs new definition each
time it is found. "What is beauty ?''
asked belle of her circle of admirers.
"What all women think they possess, !"
answered the cynic. "Ask your mir
ror," said the Frenchman. But the
philosopher replied: cit is that which
every lover sees in his sweetheart
whether she possesses it or not" He was
right. How many times we have said,
while passing homely woman, 'What
on earth did Mr.. " ever see in her?
She's as homely as a rail fence" Not
to him, though.
We know how it is ourselves. When
we were young and susceptible we met
q girl whose appearance made US very
sick. She was short, and we liked tall
girls. Her mouth was of the pie order,
while the rosebud variety had always
taken our fancy Lastly, she had lisp
that sounded like an escape-valve.
Well, we don't know how it happened,
but we fell in love with her, and all her
her imperfections Immediately van
ished. We found that her head Just
reached the right place on our shout
der, so her height, or 'lowth," was all
right. Then, her pastry mouth enabled
us to kiss without knocking noses.
That's one awful bother with straw
berry lips. AS for the lisp, we thought
it the cutest thing III the world, and
tried to cultivate one ourself, but our
employer asked if we had been buying
some new misft teeth, and we de-
sisted.
We don't belle We that everyone

| believe that everyone wishes to be.
| Theophrastus called beauty ga silent
cheat" and Theocritus says it is "a
serpent covered with flowers" We
don't recall the personal appearances
of these gentlemen, but we are willing
| to wager large sum that their pictures
never graced a photographer show
case. Homely persons are always say
| ing that beauty is a snare, just be-
| cause they can't snare any Of it them
selves.
One regularity of extremely beauti-
full or handsome persons is that they
are seldom noted for anything except
their looks. Who ever thinks of beauty
Of feature, or lack Of it, in connection
with Washington or Lincoln? IL don t
| care to give examples of the women
The minds that guide the progress OF
| the world make their owners far SUI
perior to any physical charms. That's
where we come in. We wouldn't be
handsome for anything.
