The Chinese pay their doctor only so long
as he keeps them in health. They believe in
preventing rather than curing disease. This is
sound sense, and one of the strongest recon-
mendations of Ayers Sarsaparilla, a medicine
which not only cures diseases but prevents
them.

What is Texas northern" The ques-
ton was put to Major B. M. Vapderhurst
OF Texas, who was airing his Apollo Belvi-
dere figure in the glad sunshine that crept
under the awning of the Lindell. "a Tex
as norther, my inquiring friend, is an ex-
tremely damp and disagreeable wetness
that crawls up out of the hole where the
north pole used to be and swoops down
upon the sometimes sunny southland at a
Nancy Hanks gait, catching you with your
mosquito bar underclothes on and your
overcoat in soak. 1t is more penetrating
than ammonia, and requires but 10 seconds
to work its way to the most secret recesses
of a fat mans soul and cause him to regard
the orthodox hell of fire as the one thing in
all the world most to be desired. When a
Sorther has the victim in its grip, he feels
Shat he has combination of buck ague
and congestive chills.
1T is the custom in Texas not to make a
fire until somebody freezes to death. 1t
would be slam on the most delightful
climate on earth. Few houses built prior
to the war had any provision for heating.
The custom was when norther announced
itself to keep piling on coats until it got
discouraged and gave up the contest. That
custom is still generally followed. North
ern people regard this eccentricity of the
Texas climate with extreme disgust. They
go down there expecting to find 10 months
of summer and two months of early fall
weather, to revel in the glad sunshine and
to inhale the unctuous perfume of mag
nolia buds all the year. They get into
their picnic clothes and send their heavy
weights to friends back home to be given
to the poor or packed away in camphor.
Just about that time norther arrives, and
for three days they long to go to Manitoba
to get warm" st Louis Globe-Democrat.

The workmen Saw Nothing.

How much there is in association The
workmen were tearing up the carpets in
the big courtroom for the regular summer
cleaning. The table upon which the law
yers had spread their papers-papers that
were to do much in deciding the fate of a
human life-was tilted up on end in one
corner of the room. The end whereon had
rested the murdered mans garments, all
stained with blood and gashed, was toward
the floor. The chairs in which the IL men
had sat and listened to the story that was
to result in either life or death for one hui
man being were piled and strewn about.
The one from which the weeping mother
had watched the sad proceedings that were
to rob her of her son, no matter how bad
he seemed in the eyes of the world, that
was turned upside down on one of the
benches.
And the prisoners chair-the one in which
he sat guarded by the officers of the law
while the people of the great state of New
York wound their web of conviction about
him-that was perched upon the clerks
desk, the very desk to which the prisoner
had gone to be sworn to the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
And the bench itself where the learned
judge had given forth the law and then had
fixed a season for the ending of human
life-in place of the gavel there was car
pet layers hammer, in place of pens a yard
stick and in place of inkstand a cuspidor.
These men who were at work knew not the
place by association with its former uses.
They had not seen the weeping mother, the
guilty son, the II just men, the learned
court, the faithful lawyers and the blood
stained clothes. All they saw was dirty
carpet and So day for their work.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

Finances In Cuba.

With reference to the financial crisis in
Cuba, the bureau of the American republics
is informed that the situation has improved
owing to the heavy sales of sugar during
the first two weeks of September, which
partly restored confidence to our mercantile
community, allowing our banking establish
ments to gradually overcome the difficulties
under which they were laboring, when, in
accordance with an order of the govern
ment at Madrid, the custom house refused
to admit the bills of the Spanish Rank,
which had till then circulated as gold.T
The Spanish government has been. petit
toned to decree for three months the free
introduction of Cuban sugars into Spain
for the purpose OF enabling holders to dis
pose of stocks at better prices.
