"CLEANLINESS
is next to
GOODNESS"

Were your eyes ever shocked
was your nose ever offended
by anything you ever saw or
smelled In our store?
We think not.
Our constant aim Is to give
to our establishment an ap.
pearance and atmosphere In
dicative Of our goods-pure,
fresh and wholesome. Scrupu-
lous cleanliness Is, with us, a
necessity, and our clerks and
statesmen are so instructed.
We think that this care on
our part convinces customers
of our desire to please, but 1t
is not done for show-it is a
veritable part of our business
system.
Everything you may pur-
chase from us can be relied on
for its perfect purity and whole
someness.

Simultaneous Games of Chess,

The perfection to which chess may be
carried almost implies its imperfection as
an amusement. Chess giants like Mr..
Blackburn and the late Henry Zukertort
act as warnings rather than ideals to or
binary people in search of amusement.
The latter gentleman once undertook to
carry on Is games simultaneously with
out looking at the boards. The perform
ance did not end very satisfactorily, for
after more than two days play the men
tai acrobat surrendered the contest. But
the fact Of having carried it so far i'm
piled a b~ewildering feat of cerebration,
for if the first four moves on either side
in a single game admit of 72, 900 varia-
lions the first four in Is games make the
appalling total of 1896. 900 possible COM
binations.
MI. Blackburn is unrivaled as a blind
fold player, and he has actually succeed
ed in winning the majority of 12 stimuli
taneous games without the assistance Of
sight. The possible variations in the first
four moves of these number 1874, 900.
Performances such as these leave on the
mind the oppressive and somewhat hui
initiating impression of infnity. It is too
much of a good thing. One can scarcely
imagine how a brain called on to steer
through such vast and barren complex
ties can have any faculties in reserve for
useful Observation-Disclosures Mag

The Original -Four Hundred.

It is generally thought Tat the saying
that the only people in New York worth
knowing can be numbered by 400 was
originated by Ward McAllister, but it
can be found in the Bible. Acts v, SO,
which speaks of Theudas Boosting him
self to be somebody, to whom a number
of men, about 400, joined themselves,
who were scattered and brought to
naught. The verse referred to reads as
follows, "For before these days rose up
Theudas, boasting himself to be some
body, to whom a number of men, about
400, Joined themselves, who were slain,
and all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered and brought to nought."
Another verse worth mentioning in
this connection is from I Samuel xxi, 2,
"And every n that was in distress, and
every n that was in debt, and every
n that was Disconnected, gathered
themselves unto him. and he became a
a captain over them, and there were
with him about 400 Neutrality-suspicious..

Buying q Rare Book,

A good story was told on Sam Nc
Conaha at a certain book store the other
day. During the holiday rush he went
out to buy a book for his little girl. He
went from one book store to another and
said, 81 want a nice holiday edition of
The Prodigal Son." No one seemed to
have the book. When Sam went home,
he did not say anything to his wife, as
the book was intended as a surprise
Christmas present. The next day he de-
termined to 60 in further quest Of the
book. But it was not to be found. The
fun of it is Sam wanted 1.-THE Pilgrims
Progress" and somehow he got names
mixed. He said the thing flashed across
his mind in a dream two nights before
Christmas, and he then got the book that
he wanted.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Now York Society In wartime,

Out of the great excitement Of the war
grew a fantastic gayety, a wild sort Of
Carmagnols frenzy. Society did strange
things. Women would dance the german
at a fashionable New York party with
their hair hanging in long streamers down
their backs while the young men would
seize those beautiful tresses for reins
and drive the fair women with imitation
whips. Everybody was half mad. And
after the war was over these women, to
whom philanthropy had become a bust
ness, found it hard to return to the COM
nor everyday work of life. So Mrs. s..
M. K. Barlow. n of the best and no
blest Of human beings, suggested that
we should help the south. We went to
work again at the dramatic committee
and invoked Mr.. Wallack. Mr.. jerome
lent US the theater, and we really did
some very good works, producing plays
which were not stumbled through, but
had some resemblance to the real thing.
The money we made we sent to the cler-
gymen of the south, who wrote of indi-
vidual cases Of distress. It was our
pleasure to ave the lives Of sick chill
dren who needed more delicate food than
their poor mothers could otherwise have
procured. We used oreceive most touch
ing letters. Thus was the first effort at
reconstruction attempted and carried
through successfully. We tried to fol-
low Grant at Appomattox and to be
worthy of the last words of Lincoln

The Authorization of Geological.

The tendency among English people to
clip long words into short ones, or ever
into monosyllables, is notorious. Thus
''cabriolet" has become cab, Omnibus
bus and SO on. But the change of ZOO
logical into zoo is, to any one who knows
the origin of the word, the most exas-
perating of all, and yet we now meet
with "zoo' in well written journals, and
I see the word is being advertised as the
title of a book.
There is another variation, which comes
simply from bad pronunciation, as when
a cockney holiday maker tells you he
has been to the 'slogical." If "zoolog-
icar'is to undergo a shortening, like that
which has befallen Omnibus and s'cab-
riolet," let it at least become 20. This
would be correct as far as it went and
would not be so %excruciating as the de-
testable zoo.-Cor. Notes and Queries.

Efficacy of "Chlorobrom."

A combination to which the name of
chlorobrom has been given-a solution
containing 80 grains of chloralamide and
a similar amount of potassium bromide,
in an ounce Of menstruum-has come
into considerable favor, according to
some of the foreign journals, as an eff
cacious preventive of seasickness on
short voyages. The passenger is recon-
mended to take a podophyllin pill for
n or two nights before the date of sail
ing, and when on board to remain for a
time, before rough water is reached, in a
horizontal position with eyes shut, and
to take no food on short trips.

Many artificial baby foods are manu-

Wall Street Full of Schemes,

A feature of market reporting should
be the daily statement of the number of
men in the street with schemes. They
are numerous now and are steadily on
the increase. as the railroad brokers and
money getters will testify. One of the
former was heard to remark the other
day, IF you were to stand at the corner
of Wall and Broad streets and break
with a club the head of every man that
came along, the air would be SO full Of
schemes that the SUN would be dark
ened."-New York Tribune.

THE SHOT DRILL.
4 Form of Military Punishment Which Is
Frequently Practiced.

Military Imprisonment is very differ
ent from the civil kind, with more rig
orous discipline, worse diet, and far
more slavish labor of which the most
common form is shot drill. This,
while appearing to be a simple thing
enough, is capable of producing an eX-
treme amount of agony. The following
is the manner of it, rs described by an
expert: A number of soldier prisoners
are stood up in the prison yard, at dis
tances of eight to nine feet from each
other, a cannon-ball weighing about
forty pounds, resting on the ground at
the feet of each one The drillma5ter
gives the word of command, and the
prisoner stOops, picks up his ball,
raises it almost to his head, carries it
forward to the next mans station. and
puts it on the ground there. He then
faces about, walks back to his own
place where he finds another like bal
brought there by the next one of the
gang. This ball he picks up, raise
ard again takes forward and deposits
the process being repeated as long q,
the taskmaster chooses. The constant
stepping, the endless lifting, raising
and putting down the heavy weights
! become after a little while almost un
| bearable. 1t is heart-breaking "a
well as back-breaking business
Other punishments, including severe
! logging, may be inflicted, especially OF
refractory prisoners, but the shot drill
! IS the most customary.

a Sad Accident.

Private Geo. B. Washburn, company D,
10th U. s. infantry, died at the post hos
pital at $3.50 yesterday afternoon under
very sad circumstances.
Early yesterday morning Prlvates Wash
burn and John Kelly and Corporal Adam
Hoffman left the city for hunt out
along the narrow gauge track. About
three miles out Private Kelly separated
from the other two and whilo he was in
the brush some distance away he heard
two shots in quick succession. Return
ing to the railroad track he found that
Private Washburn was bleeding profusely
from wound in the left leg just below
the knee. It appears that Corporal Hoff-
man was walking in front of Private
Washburn and had his shotgun over his
shoulder, the hammers being at half cock.
AS Hoffman jumped down from the
track to an embankment at one side the
jar set off his gun and both charges
entered Washburn's leg. Hoffman was
we'll nigh crazed by the unfortunate af-
fair. Private Kelly bound up the wound
as best he could and came in after an

putated below the knee but he had lost
so much blood that death soon followed
amputation. He was clever man, aged
about so, and enlisted at Chicago. Every
body about the post regrets the sad oc-
currence. On this account there was no
concert yesterday, nor will there be any
this evening. The funeral takes place at
10 a. m. tomorrow.
