Began In "a Humble Way.

A conspicuous figure on the streets of
Pittsburg is a tall, dignified looking col
ored man who dresses in long coat and
high hat, 10th of brilliant red. Every bit
of available space on his outer garments
is emblazoned with announcements, paint
ed in white letters, of astonishing bargains
in wearing apparel. That he feels the i'm
portance of his position is evident, not
only from this self satisfied smile he wears,
but also from an incident which occurred
yesterday. n'his rambles about the streets
he stopped to look at II gang of men who
were eXcavating in order to repair water
pipe. "LOok at them" he said, turning
to a friend who was with him. "That s
just the way got my start in life" Sew
eral of the workmen looked up at the sand
witch man, wondering, evidently, how they
could find encouragement in the result of
his experience. Pittsburg Dispatch

"Pitur." For Assuaging Hunger.

Not little interest, physiologically con-
sidered has been created by the accounts
given of singular plant found in Queens
land and Australia, known to the people
as the pituri. or as it has been popularity
spelled pitcheri, pichourg, or even bill
gerry, known to botanists, however, as Du-
boisia or Anthocercis hopwoodi. The
leaves, it seems. are gathered annually
during the month of August, when the
plan is in blossom; they are dried, first by
process of straining, and then packed in
hemp bags for purposes of trade.
In preparing the article for consumption
it is damped, mixed with ashes and rolled
up into the shape of a cigar, which the
people chew, sticking it during the inter
walls of chewing behind the ear. The effect
of the smoking of this novel cigar is very
peculiar, rendering the smoker for the time
being almost insane when INDUCED in too
freely, but when smoked in moderation the
leaves have a powerful stimulating effect,
with symptoms similar to those produced
by excessive strong drink. A more impor-
tant use of pituri is the chewing of a small
quantity of the leaves for the purpose of
assuaging hunger, person using them in
this manner being enabled to undertake
long journeys without fatigue and with
little food. New York Tribune

would not stay at home long enough to
breed their mares That prediction was
Just AS reasonable as what we hear now.
But what will really happen, some one
honestly and earnestly asks; while we
arr neither prophet or the son of a
prophet, we think it Is quite reasonable
to expect this to happen:
The best bred mares in the State will
be bred to the best sires a lot of crooked
lie eyed mares who have been breeding
their own images will not be bred, for
the foals are not worth the raising. An
equal number, or we trust larger num-
Der of Indifferent stations will be gelded
ani put in their proper station in life
dragging pillow or drag.
There will be less breeding of the old
kind aud the real breeding interests of
the State will thus be elevated.
Good substantional road horses that
can make good showing when htched
to wagon on the country roads of
Maine, il they have good size and action,
will sell readily at good figure, sure.
A colt that can step out of the yard
and trot good natural gait and take
to training readily, indicating that he is
brain trotter and not a manufactured
article, will also find quick buyer.
There will be substantial purses offered
for horses that can and will trot. Fake
races and trotters will not be worn much
in 1894. In fact they were about worn
out on some tracks last season. 81 trot''
will be the the motto of the. winning
horse this season and good motto 1t Is,
too for if people pay their money to see
races they want aud have right to see
the honest article.
Cut the above out and stick 1t in your
hat and when the season of 1894 is over
see if we have not forecast the future
pretty accurately Maine Turf, Farm
and Home.

In the incident related below boy l2
years old conquered smart and shrewd
lawyer fighting for bad cause.
Walter was the important witness, and
one of the lawyers after cross questioning
him severely said:
"Your father has been talking to you
and telling you how to testify, hasn't hey"
eyes" said the boy.
"Now," said the lawyer, Just tell us
how your father told you to testify"
"Well," said the boy modestly, father
told me that the lawyers would try and
tangle me, but if would just lie careful
and tell the truth | could tell the same
thing every time"
The lawyer didn't try TO tangle up that
boy any massachusetts Plough

People who stand on the west side of
Main street of an evening watching the
Illuminated advertising cards which are
displayed on the walls on the opposite side
have had their attention drawn 20 cat
which has almost nightly of late taken up
a position in the street where she could
see the queer things that are sometimes
displayed on the canvas. So intent has
she been in watching the business that
she has been nearly run over by passing
teams several times, the kindness of the
drivers rather than her own fear saving
her from being killed.-Hartford Courant.

THE COMING YEAR.

You can hear on every hand that the
trotting business was overdone last wear
and that there will be but few good
purses hung out this season; that there
will be no mares bred the coming season /;
all the stations except few select ones
will be gelded. This reminds us of the
dark predictions made year ago. They
said that all the breeders would want to
go to the Worlds fair, some of them
