 Pale lips. languor. little eagerneSs for play. irritabllity. and loss Of strength, show that the close applica- ton Is making sad inroads upon their health. There should be no delay in building up the childs system, and feeding the worn-out nerves with Paine's celery compound. Parents find their children quickly gain strength and color and increased weight from this remarkable nerve food. It is peculiarly suited to the needs of their weakened powers oi digestion and assimilation. During the school year thousands of children pursuing studies with an am. bilious eagerness altogether out of keeping with their strength, have been enabled to keep in school and at work and to recover health and nerve strength by careful use of Paine's celery compound. first prescribed by Dartmouth's great professor. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D.. IL. D.

Military Value of Sport.

The value of sport as a means of developing and training soldiers has always been recognized in all armies. and, as regards officers at any rate, has been well appreciated by us. A dis tinguished cavalry officer stated in pub lie few years ago that, in his opinion no man was fit to hold a commission who did not ride fair we'll to hounds. The immortal Jorrocks, too. was not slow to appreciate the relation between war and its image. with only twenty five per cent. of it's danger. In India we encourage our men to go out into the country on shooting expeditions, and a few enthusiastes at home have even allowed the "woollies" an occos- ional sight of hounds. The great duke kept pack in the Peninsula, and race meeting has not seldom formed the closing act of many of our little wars. But it has been left to our friends the Russians, to definitely or ganize sporting expeditions on large scale, with view to their rank and file Hunting fosters nerve and manly qualities. It cannot fail to improve horsemanship; but it makes a man far more than mere rider. It teaches him to husband and save his horses ener-. gies, study his idiosyncrasies,. and, above all, perhaps, bring home to him the need of thoughtful stable manage ment and careful fitting of saddles and brides. A man who hunts grows ac- customed to finding his way about in a strange country; he acquires an eye for ground, and becomes resourceful in danger or difficulties. Thus 1t affords, perhaps, the best training ground mounted man can have.
 But victories are won mainly by in- fantry, and nowadays especially. when formations are loose, g foot-soldier must have head on his shoulders. It was stalking deer and antelope that made the Boers the dangerous foes we found them, and the man who has been brought up as a gamekeeper is the most valuable prize of the recruiting sergeant. The Germans, for this rea- son, have called their smartest regi- ments "Jagers." and the French "Chas- seurs' illustrate that. too. the appre- citation which the same class meet with, and have ever met with, on the other side of the Rhine. Our .rifiemen are distinguished by no such characteristic title. but are clothed in the traditional green affected by the natives of the woods. However; 'Jagers" and "Chas- seurs,' can no more all be sportsmen than kilted men In our service can all claim 3 birthplace north of the Tweed, and the name is but survival of the olden time.
 In France and Germany game-pre- serves and tillage have destroyed any chance there ever have, been of allow ing the natural instincts of men a free outlet. But in Russia there is more scope, and the chance sparssly popu- lated country offers has not been tbroWn away. Hunts shaYs of late r 3.s e

years been set on foot in the neighbor- hood of the military stations In which whole battalions occasionally have tax en part. The quarry has usually been q bear marked down by the villagers Tn an adjoining forest. and the excite ment of pursuing an animal with rep utation in popular imagination for fer ocity forms delightful break in the weary monotony of barrack life. 50 far. however. as We have gathered from some accounts of these expeditions, poor bruin has but small chance in- deed. and Is simply surrounded by a bowling crowd of excited men. who destroy him by sheer weight of num- bers. Little of value in war or any where else can be derived from such performances; but all hunts are not Of this character, and better management Is displayed In many districts. The Russian military authorities are now. indeed. quite alive to the beneit that may be derived from encouraging Q real love of sport, and definite rules and regulations have quite recently been drawn up with . view to making the most of the special opportunities many of their troops enjoy.
 But. after all only small proportion of troops can taste such joys. and In most places there may bs . good deal of hunting and very little game. while equipments, and what our Indian om- cers would term "bandobasts," have to be on a particularly modest scale. 1n- deed. In most parts of European Rus sia the "Jagers" have to be contentcd with but the image of their craft. and there Is considerably more of instruc- ton than amusement about their ex- petitions. Scouting and reconnais- sance duties against an imaginary foe are hardly so exciting as stalking and tracking beasts of prey; but tho man who is an adept at one will probably excel at the other, and the same quail ties will be developed by practise at either. Craftsmanship will of course be the first essential when either api- mals or men are the quarries. and tar get practice is therefore, an obvious part of training. Judging distances, too. will be attended to. while mans muscles may be usefully developed by gymnastics. fencing, running and leap ing.-Saturday Review.

''I never heard of professional laughers except here and in New York city," said the manager, sand there is only one, so far as I know, in Gotham. He bothered me considerably when Charley's Aunt was in its first weeks, but 1 had no use for him. So ho got mad and would pay his way into the theater and try to queer the piece by laughing in his odd way at the wrong places in tho play When there was nice quiet love scene-and there are many love scenes in 'Charley's Aunt'-he would squeeze out Q sharp little sigh, as if he wero laughing himself to death, and then the whole house would laugh at him. A professional laugher knows how to do that to perfection. He cuts his laugh loose and lets it knock against the welkin, but it is not the loudness of the laugh that wins-it is the way he handles it. He laughs with the audience, of course, but when they get through he has good little blast or two left in his cheeks, and he gives these with artistic expression. This lingering laugh catches the audience and tho people laugh anew. Then tho profess sional sobs out, Oh, my! and you think he is giving you his last gasp and dying a cachinnatory death, and the audience can not do otherwise than laugh again, the au dience really laughing with and at the pro- fessional and not at the play 1 used to have this professional ejectfd from the theater every time l found him.

When Going on u Visit.

When you are packing your trunk. try to put in it everything that you will need, so that you will not have to borrow from your hostess. You will require the silk or cotton matching your gowns, your needles, scissors and thimbles, and if you are an adept at artistic needlework I would sug- gest your doing pretty piece while you are away-one that may be left as a souvenir of your visit with your hostess. You must have with you your own brushes, your let ter paper and pens. and when you open your trunk you must put your things in their proper places, giving them the same care which you would if you were going to be in the house ayear instead of a week. Besides your clothes there must be some virtues packed in your trunk, virtues that you will take out and use all the time. One is consideration. You will find that visitor we'll equipped with this will be much liked. Another is punctuality. that virtue of kings. And still another is neat ness, a dainty little virtue specially adapted to young women.-Philadelphi Times.

This evening at 9 o'clock, when the presi- dent returned from his customary drive with Secretary Lamont, none of the mem- aud It was announced that none were ex- pectcd, as little or no newssrequiring the prssident's action was anticipated, the main strike being considered virtually at an end. General Schotield spent ten min- utes with the president, but had no infor- nation of note to communicate, and about 1O:30 Postmaster General Bissell called to say that the reports received today showed that the United States mails were being transmitted without delay in all parts of the country.
 The president has been somewhat au- noyed by the persistent attempts in some quarters to make it appear that he had ap- pointed an arbitration board at the request Of the strike leaders. Nothing is further from t6e truth. The commission which he has agreed to appoint eventually under the law has no power beyond that of mak- ing general investigation of the strike on the railroads, which led to his proclama- tion.
 The Investigating commission when or ganized cannot enter at all into the differ ences between the Pullman company and it's employees. It will confiue it's work ex clusively to the Debs American Railway union and the railway General Managers association. The president has been com- pelled to explain this to several st atesmen who mentioned arbitration to him today, telling them very positively that no arbi- tration was contemplated in his assurance to the committee that called upon him.

FOR DEMOCRACY.
F. P. o'Brien and s. W. John, Legis- iative Candidates, Address Large
 Audience at Pratt City.

The Pratt City Irish Dem ooratic club was addressed last night by Capt. F.P. o'Brien and Col. s. w. John, both nominees on the democratic ticket for representative.
 Goff's hall was we'll filled with people desirous to hear the political issues dis cussed. There were quite a number of Irish democrats from Birmingham present. The speeches were listened to with the greatest of interest, and 1t is believed the democratic ticket. from Colonel Oates down, was greatly benefited by the speeches.
 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Dan Sullivan of the auxiliary committee of the Pratt City Irish Demo- cratic club and he called MT. Patrick Bren- nan of Birmingham to the chair to preside over the meeting.
 Captain O'Brien was first introduced and made an able argument in behalf of democracy. He explained the Sayre elec- tion law and defined the difference be- tween that and the Australian law. By the Australian law names of can didates can be placed on the ticket only by officers of the law, and an illiterate man cannot call in any one to assist him in pre- pairing his ballot. The Sayre law allows assistance when voter is unable to pre- pare his own ticket. The speaker also dwelt on the convict law, the commissary and check systems and other issues of the present cam mpaign. He also spoke of his record in the last legislature and said that if returned, with his experience, he could do better the next time.
 Col. s. w. John began his speech with defin ition of democracy, and contrasted it's principles with those of other parties and of the difference in the works of the democratic and republl- can parties. He discussed the convict question and explained why the convicts had not been removed from the mines and what he had been doing in that direction during the past ten years. He spoke of his career in the legislature, of the laws he had originated and caused to be placed on the statutes.
 Colonel John's speech was pronounced one ot the ablest ever delivered in this county by those who heard it.
 The crowd was very orderly, and paid the strictest attention to the speeches.

THERE SAT BILL REDWOOD, NATURAL AS LIFE. If he had climbed into the skiff after Bill left it, how did he get it united from tho bank? Even if he had got into it and un- tied it, how could he have got it out into the middle of the stream?
 II soon saw it was useless to guess at these riddles, so I dismissed them from my mind, and examining my rifle drew bead on the strange looking boatman. It was as good target as one could ask for. and at the crack of my rifle his bear ship toppled over without a struggle.
 As there was little point of land just below me near which tho boat would drift, turned and ran down there so as to be ready when it eame by. concluded would probably have to get wet in ordc: to get the boat, but thought that if it did come near enough for mo to reach it with 8 pole I would be very glad of it.
 When l got out to the edge of the little point of land and turned to watch tho boat, you could have knocked me down with feather, I was so weak and amazed. There in the center of the skiff, where moment before had sat the bear which had shot and killed, now sat Bill Redwood, as natural as life and as unconcorncd as you can imagine.
 I dropped my rifle in my amazement and rubbed my eyes and looked again. There was no possibility of mistake about it. It was Bill, and didn't need his horse laugh and hearty much obleeged' to convince me of it.
 "As soon as he came to shore we pulled the boat up on the bank, with the dead bear in the bottom of it, and as soon as Bill stepped on the land he took off his clothes and began to wiring the water out If thnpo I tbep laarpo1 from, hin, tho nj cumstances that led to the queer situation.
 It seems that he had fastened the skiff and before he started out on his part of the work concluded to catch an old opossum and some young ones which he saw just over in the thickct and as they were lead ing him something of chase he set his gun down and determined to catch them It was in this condition that he ran upon the bear, to the great surprise of both He started to turn and run away, but he saw the bear was more frightened than he so, as soon as it started off in it's ambling gal Top toward tho river he followed. Wheni itl jumped into the stream to swim to the other shore, he sprang into his skiff and caught up with it in the river. Here he first realized his ridiculous position with out his gun and at tho same moment the bear changed from a retreating to an at tacking enemy. It took very short whilel for the bear to climb into the skiff and Bill to climb out, and when I saw the strange skipper coming down stream in his craft Bill was hidden from view in the l water, holding onto the stern of the boat andtrying to think of some plan of pro cedure. VI My rifle shot was understood by him at once, and looking up and finding tho Q bear dead he had climbed into the boat while turned and went down the little point of land mentioned, SO that when got there and looked around found Bill sitting up just where tho bear had becn Of course it is all easy enough to under stand when it is xpnained, but at tho time thought must be going crazy

Value of Autograph Documents.

Historical documents have in good many cases proved good investments for those who were first to recognize their value. So it has been with the original draft of a letter in the handwriting of the late Secretary Blaine. During tho time when tho Italian colony was giving Q great deal of trouble at Now Orleans MT. Wilbur, 0 newspaper man of this city, went to see the secretary to know what his reply would be to the Marquis Impe- rial then charge d 'affaires and acting ltal- ian minister. He found MT. Blaine en- gagged in writing the reply. In order that it might be put on the wire promptly, he gave it to the journalist with request to make such use of it as ho wanted. Tho rough draft was in Mr. Blaines hand writing and contained a number of strong sentences interlined. When Mir. Wilbur had made all the use of it he wanted, Will liam E. Amin, n fellow newspaper man, offered S25 for the original paper and got it. He hung it on tho wall of his office in a frame, and in a few days tho late Frank IIatton happened in, and seeing the relic said it was worth S100 to him. Then it passed into his hands and became an ornament of tho sanctum in The Post building. Washington News
