He Saved His Life

Years ago / saved that mans life, said
a well known business man in speaking of
a certain bank official. Its been Is years
ago, suppose" continued he, when one
day this fellow came to me in a frantic
state of mind and told me n startling tale.
He was teller in the bank then, the same
position he now holds. JIM he said, I've
got to have s., 500 today or Pm ruined for
life. am short just that much in my &C
counts, and they are going to check me up
tomorrow
IT was astounded of course, but he had
been a true friend to me and got him the
money and saved him from exposure for
four years He gave me q portion OF his
salary every month until the money was
paid with interest. His honesty has never
been questioned, and as the years have gone
by he has grown in the esteem OF his su-
perior officers at the bank. / think when
helped him, Is years ago, that saved him
from dishonor and disgrace. 1t was as

The Monarchy of Monaco.

The principality of Monaco is an ex-
tremely interesting locality for many rea-
sons. The frontier is not extensive, but 1t
is possible to walk three miles straight on
without entering the territories of the ad-
iacent French republic-for n person who
knows the country, that is The popula-
ton exceeds that of two other European
nations-the principality of Liechtenstein
and the republic of San Marine. The form
Of government is absolute monarchy,
the present sovereign being his highness
Albert, prince of Monaco, duke of Valen-
tinois, Mazarin and Mayenne, prince of
Chateau-Porcien, marquis des Baux CT
Chilly and of Guiscard, count of Carlades
and of Longjumeau, of Ferrette. Belfort,
Thanh and Rosemont, etc.
The Turk that two and fifty kingdoms hath.
has hardly a more magnificent array of
titles.
His highness is at the head of an army
numbering almost 50 men. officers included,
and a corps of gendarmerie more than 40
strong These calculations do not include
his special guard of honor A Monegrasque
staff officer is probably the most magnifi-
Gently attired warrior in Europe. The rank
and file of the army, though less splendid,
are also worthy of admiration Having but
light duties, they can give their minds
wholly and entirely to the cultivation of
the mustache, in which department they
fear no competition. The prince of Monaco
treats upon equal terms with foreign poterl-
tates and sends ENJOYS extraordinary and
ministers plenipotentiary to Paris and to
the Vatican. Magazine.

Roadside Crosses In Italy.

1.-The traveller in Europe, and especially in
some parts of Europe, comes continually
across those relics of the feudal days, the
roadside shrine and the milestone cross"
said Harry G. Selfridge, who Is putting
up at the Laclede for a day Of rest and
recreation In Italy they are most numer-
GUS, dotting every crossroad and hilltop,
every spring and shady nook where one
might lie down during the monday heat
and rest. 1t seems that these shrines are
considered Ravens Of rest by the poor and the
unfortunate, for you can see at ali hours Of
the day footsore and ragged pedestrians
throwing themselves at full length before
these images of the Virgin and the Christ
and weeping in bitterest distress. 1t is
not alone to pray that many OF these pill
grims come, not alone to pour out their
woes to a pictured ideal, an ever willing
ear; they frequently come to die.
Annually many persons end their lives
before these images, sinking down bleeding
and praying, staining the pure green grass
with their hearts blood. We talk about
skeletons in the closet; about the hidden
sorrows of this world. They are not in the
closets, should judge, from these instances
They are providing abroad in the sunshine,
haggard life ghosts, seeking rest and never
finding; seeking a kind, .forgiving heart
and being eventually compelled to fly to
this unknown spirit of mercy and there in
the sunlight to pour out their woes to the
maker and cast off this life in despair.
These crosses are really remarkable, and
the many woes they stand record of make
them doubly precious in the eyes of the
poor and the ignorant. That is what call
one of the interesting things about Europe"

The Water Of Lake Baikal In Siberia Is .

Of the commercial highway between Russia

had q thin layer Of snow over it, but we

was no easy matter as found on getting
out of the sledge, for the ice was so slippery
that, in spite of my having felt snow boots
on, could hardly stand. The deathlike
silence of the surroundings was occasional
ly broken, however, by curious sounds, as
though big guns were being fired at some
little distance. They were caused by the
cracking Of the ice here and there. 1 was
told that in some parts Of the lake were
huge assures through which the water
could be seen.
1t is for this reason that it is always adj

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Morton Knows His Business.

j. Sterling Morton, the secretary
of agriculture, has some sound and
common sense views as to his duty
to the taxpayers and the obligations
of the administration not to spend
the peoples money unwisely. He
has been subjected to n good deal
of criticism for dropping Robert
Blaine, the late James q. Blaine's
brother, from the pay rolls of the ag-
ricultural department, and republic
cans are trying to make capital out
of it. Secretary Morton is willing
that they shall make all the capital
they can; he has no apology to make,
and the following blunt but sensible
explanation of this act is the only
one he has to give:
Upon inquiry learned from the
superintendent of the bureau of ami
NAL industry" he said, that the
quarantine division was unnecessary,
and that the work of the division
was light and could be merged in the
work of the regular bureau without
an increase of the force. | further
learned that about the only service
performed by Mr.. Blaine had been to
make two or three trips to Europe at
government expense. L have not
posed as a reformer. but | have al
ready cut down the force of the de-
partment enough to save the govern
ment $125,000 in salaries, without
in the least impairing the
work. l did not know when abol-
II of a
bureau of animal industry, that its
chief was brother of James G..
Blaine. l knew his name was Blaine,
but l knew nothing of his connec-
tions. However, had / known it, it
would have made no difference, as |
should have abolished the division if
its chief had been Grover Cleveland's
brother or my own brother.
ITO a prominent democrat who
wrote me in Mr.. Blaine's behalf re-
piled that l could not pay tribute to
the memory of James e. Blaine or
Andrew Jackson with other peoples
money. I know that / have been
somewhat criticized for my act. be-
cause Bob Blaine is said to be en-
tirely dependent on his salary for a
livelihood and that his dismissal has
left without the means of support the
brother of one of Americas most dis
tinguished statesmen. But it is not
the duty of the government to make
the public service an asylum for the
INDECENT relations of men who have
served it with distinction. Personal
ly, would see all my relations saw
wood before L would support them
.-1or office, and as far as Mr.. Blaine's
brother is concerned, that distin-
guished gentleman died possessed of
ample means to have made his broth
er comfortable for life If he was in
capable of making living outside OF
the department, Mr.. Blaine should
have provided for his brother in his
will. / believe his estate was worth
almost million"

How Long Man May Live.

How Long Man May Live.
1t was Professor Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might be
set at 200 years-this on the general principle
that the life of nearly all living creatures is
eight times the years, months or weeks of
its period of growth That which quickly
COMES to maturity quickly perishes, and
the earlier complete development is reached
the sooner bodily decay enstes. More wom-
