The Value of Drawing,

Mr.. Thomas Woolner, r. A., tells how
Mr.. Nasmyth of steam hammer fame
once gave him an illustration from per.
sonal experience of the value of drawing.
Mr.. Nasmyth was travelling in Norway
and one day in wild, ont of the way
place reached an inn, very hungry, but
unable to make the hostess understand
his wants by anything he could say. He
was considerably perplexed till he hap
PLY thought of hispencil. He then care
fully drew dish in perspective, with
steam rising from it. Beside this be
drew a plate, with knife and fork, and
on the other side of the dish bottle and
a wineglass.
When he had completed this diagram
of his wants, the face of the hostess
frightened, and she at once left him tc
execute his design. He then went for a
stroll and on returning found the pic,
ture complete. There was the bottle
with wineglass beside it; the plate, knife
and fork, and the dish covered. So as
soon as he sat down mine hostess lifted
the cover, displaying fine hot fowl that
sent forth a cloud of steam. London

Etorists' DECORATIONS.

There has within the past year or so
grown up great rivalry between the
florists of upper Broadway, and the
public has been the gamer. inasmuch as
the display made by the florists is far
more attractive from the street than
ever before. The shops have been beau
tilted, their show windows enlarged and
the utmost efforts put forth TO make
an effective display that will attract at
tention from the passerby. This is
generally done by the artistic grouping
of masses of superb flowers together
against a background of greens or by
providing something out of the common
in contrast effects.
One florist created decided sensation
lately by having windmill in his win
dow, the arms of which revolyed and
blazed alternately red and white as doz-
ems of tiny electric lamps of glass of those
eolors We're thrown on or off an electric
circuit. At the back of the shop, but in
full view of the street, stood an immense
peacock of metal, colored to nature, and
its tail illuminated by a great many sim
liar tiny lamps set in the ''eyes" on the
feathers. New York Mail and Express.

MONEY IN HIS POCKET.
AN AGENT STEALS $500 FROM
THE GOVERNMENT.
Savage Will Be Brought Back, Il
Found, to stand Trial for
Number of Mis-
deeds.

The report which Colonel Shelby, the
special government agent, will file when
he reaches Washington, concerning the
investigation at the Perris Indian
school, will show that II. w. Savage,
the erstwhile superintendent, is in a
rad way.
Hia system OF robbery has netted him
$500, it is alleged
As thisYoccurred in a period OF but one
years time, he must have made q turn
for himself on nearly every contract he
made. 1t is known that he came to Los
Angeles and bought clothing for him
self and paid for it out of government
money. He bought furniture and raised
the price OF each article from one-third
to one-half. He bought cows for $40
and collected Sl20 from the government.
In the same manner he collected for
1000 brick that were never used.
He receiveda salary OF $3.50 per month
and his wife obtained $75 per month,
and as his living expenses were next to
nothing there was apparently no occa-
sion for this Wholesale robbery, save
through desire to accumulate fortune
to retire npon.
One OF the worst items in the report is
the charge OF immortality. In his Office,
in the capacity OF bookkeeper. wac very
comely young Indian girl. Her present
condition, it is said, illustrates the depth
OF the mans yillainy.
The school is now in charge of man
named Bray from this city, and the 100
and odd children are being well cared
for. Had it not been for Savage's un-
scrupulous conduct. nothing to mar the
very efficient character OF the school
would have been heard.
IL is intimated that nothing will be
doae by the government until October.
A. that time the matter will be pre-
sulteu to the United States grand jury
for indictments on several charges, and
then an effort to bring him to justice
will be made.
When Shelby yas here he asked the
Washington authorities what he should
do about attempting to extradite Savage
if he could be located, but it is not
known what realy was made. Those
who know tie Iann say that he is in
Mexico, and VIA he has considerable
money az lie result of his financial
maueuvering.

Worn Out in Harness.

In the harness of every day business
work men and women wear out prema-
turely. For some of us it is not easy, for
others, again, 1t is impossible to get out
of harness. 1t is the infiexible yoke, the
strongly forged unbreakable shackle of
imperative servitude needful to ourselves
and those most dear to us. The weight OF
it often bows many Of us into the grave
before our time, but 1t Is undou btedly
true that there is a means of rendering
the burthen less onerous, and of mitigat-
ing the ailments that unremitting toll
especially of a sedantry kind-has a ten
dency to produce. Over-worked clerks
in counting houses, mill operatives,
bookkeepers, typewriters and others tes-
tify to the reviving, restorative effects of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and its power
of renewing physical and mental energy
when overtasked and on tile wane. Dys-
pepsia, failing vigor, rheumatic, bowel
and kidney complaints yield to this BEN
eficent medicine. which is a preventive of
malaria and counteracts the effects of ex-
posure in inciement weather.
