imprisonment For snoring.

The club member who goes to sleep
and snores in the reading room or libra
ry is nuisance, but the punishment of
his offense by term of imprisonment
has not yet been heard of. The magis-
trates at Aston police court, however,
are, it would seem, in favor of such
treatment. The London Truth calls at
tention to case heard at Aston, where
q laborer named John Groves was
charged with vagrancy for having slept
in furniture van in the public street.
A police constable ON his rounds heard
loud snores. He was not at first able to
discover the origin of the sound, but on
getting over wall into a yard he found
the prisoner asleep in furniture van,
snoring in such manner as to make
himself heard at a considerable distance
from his hiding place.
The prisoner, in reply to the bench,
said that he had been at work at Sutton,
and on returning to his home to Aston
he was unable to gain admission. so that
he went and slept in the van. The
deputy magistrates clerk pointed out,
however, that he was disturbing the
neighborhood with his mighty snore,
whereupon the magistrates, probably
taking this heinous offense into consid-
Grafton, for nothing else was alleged
against the prisoner, positively sentenced
the wretchel man to six weeks hard

Value of Good Cookins.oili'

We masculines have yet to'Rarn that
the kitchen is the most important end Of
the household. If that goes wrong, the
whole establishment is wrong,a 1t de-
cides the health of the household, and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency of plum pud
ding, mingling of lemonade and Gus
tards, unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many good man in hot
water. 1t will never be fully known
how much the history of the world was
affected by good or bad cookery. Mash

Anxious to Break G1adstone's Heart

Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at
Leicester on Wednesday, revived the
history of the three conspicuous Irish
men who had broken their hearts over
the repeal of the union, or something
equivalent to it-O'Connell, Butt and
Parnell. Now Mr.. Gladstone is en-
gagged in the same enterprise and will ex-
perience just the same fate. Great Brit
ain will soon have an opportunity Of
showing its determination not to allow
this empire to be disintegrated to please
''the civilized world" or the powers who
grudge England her prosperity and
would gladly see her weakened by her
own folly in taking step backward in
to division, when all other states are TAX
ing steps to attain stronger unity and
a completer organization. Lord Ran
dolph evidently expects an early disso-
lution.-London Spectator.

THE ANGELS AGAIN VICTORIOUS,
They Take the Long End Of
Another Series.
One Pitcher Done Up in the First
Inning.
It Was Then All Over But the Cheer
ing, Although the ANGELS Crept
Out OF Several Tight
Places-Notss.

1t is mistake to expect too much ol
one man. 1t is unsafe to try too many
experiments. 1t is disastrous to put a
tired pitcher against the Angels. All
three of these "don'ts" occurred yester-
day afternoon at Athletic park. and the
result was that the Angels didn't have a
little bit Of trouble in taking the last
game of the series from Uncle Henry.
Louie Balsz pitched fine game Satur-
day and won it. Yesterday he was put
in to duplicate the performance, if pos
siple. 1t was not possible. 40 will ap-
pear later.
The Angels appeared to put cinch on
the game in the first inning. Rasty
waited for four balls and McCauley got
lift at first on Sharp's error. Hutch
inson knocked the ball over Carroll's
head tor three bases, scoring his two pre-
decessors. Glenalvin then hit for one
base and an earned run. Lytle also hit
for single, and four wild ones to Hulen
filed the bases. Lohman forced Glen
at the plate, but Hughes found a little
single that scored Lytle. Borchers hit
fly to Reuben, Hulen stealing the plate
on the throw In, and Wrights hit scored
Lohman, total Of six runs for the in
ming.
The San Franciecos went out in order
in their half, but when the Angels went
to bat in the second inning they were
faced by McGrevey. Balsz apparently
knew when he had enough.
The visitors scored one in the second
inning. Hughes fumbled Carroll's
bounder and Work found hit. Spies
then hit one through Hutchinson, and
allowed Carroll to score.
The Angels got this one back in their
next venture when Hughes beat out an
in-tield hit, was advanced to third on a
force and base on balls to McCauley,
and scored on Hutchinson's hit.
Three large tallies fell into Uncle's net
in the fourth inning. Borchers allowed
Work and Power to walk down the line,
and then filed the bases by giving
Ebright Texas Lacquer. Spies hit q
hot one through the in-feld that scored
two men, and Sharp's force sent in the
third.
In the fifth Mcguire scored for the
San Franciscos by his and Carrolls base
on balls, Works hit and Powers force.
The Angels took another batting spurt
in the seventh inning. Hughes started
it with a single. scoring on Borcher's
double. Then numerous bases on balls,
errors and hard batting netted six runs
for the inning and total of Is for the
game.
Although this was an unlucky num-
her on which to stop, the visitors were
unable to change the result.
The score follows:

water started rhese Two Fires.

No principle of natural philosophy is
more familiar than the power of water
to extinguish fire. And yet. strange to
say, water has been known to cause de-
structive fires, not by az accident, but
by direct chemical action. One case of
the kind was in a large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to pile of iron
filings, which oxidized so rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.
Another case is still more remarkable.
Several engines were throwing water
upon burning building, and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained quicklime. The
slaking of the lime, caused of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the
building. That was sarcasm OF cir
cumstances, wasn't it?-Philadelphia

Stanford's Two Palm Trees.

Mr.. Stanford was not superstitious,
but he believed that his life was linked
with that of two palm trees which he
had planted in front of his Palo Alto
home. He bestowed great care on these
trees, and they fourished until few
weeks before his death, when their leaves
began to turn yellow. No one noticed
this change until one evening the senator
called the attention of one of his closest
friends to the trees and said he regarded
this as bad omen. He said solemnly,
"When those trees die, my life will end"
The palm trees are now dead, and STAN
ford lies lifeless in the shadow of their
withered tops.-New York Tribune.

A Whist Player.

Colley Cibber was playing cards one
night at Toms coffee house in Russell
street, Covent Garden, one of the few
houses in London which were only open
to subscribers. AS the cards were dealt
to the playful Colley, ''he took up every
one in turn and expressed his disap-
pointment at every indifferent one." AS
the game went on, he did not follow
suit, whereupon the testy old general
cried out. ''What, have you not spade.

Currency Matters Slowly but Surely
Settling Down.
LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Calcutta cor.
respondent of the Times says: Cur.
rency matters are slowly but surely set
thing down and confidence is returning.
1t is daily becoming more evident that
the silver shipped by banks in June
was intended to pay for heavy specu-
lation purchases of rupee paper for
London. Had the banks financed the
purchases with council drafts, in
stead of silver paper, it would
never have left the country, as
the price of the drafts would have
made the operations imprscticable.
Superfluous silver retarded the estab.
lishment of gold standard for weeks,
while the action Of the India office in
letting council bills 60 for less than 16
pence, depressed the price of paper in
England and caused refux to India.
There is great satisfaction over the
course adopted by the secretary of state
for India, in not selling under the last
rate. 1t is generally believed that he
will not have to wait much longer to
realize 16 pence. 1t is significant that
all efforts to force exchange below 151as
have failed.

Preventing Future Misery.

If there is, in this vale of tears, a more
prolific source of misery than the rheu
matte twinge, we have yet to hear of it
People are born with tendency to rheu
matism, just as they are with one to con
sumption or to scrofula. Slight causes
may develop this. As soon as the agon
izing complaint manifests itself, recourse
should be had to Hostetters's Stomach
Bitters, which checks its further inroads
and banishes the rheumatic poison from
the system. This statement tallies ex.
actly with the testimony of physicians
who have employed this fine flood depur.
ent in their private practice. There is
also the amplest professional and general
testimony as to the efficacy of the Bitters
for malaria, liver complaint, constipation
indigestion, kidney trouble, nervousness
and loss of appetite and flesh. After a
wetting, whether, followed bya cold or
not, the Bitters is useful as preventive
of the initial attack of rheumatism.
