It will, perhaps, require little stretch Of
tia imagination on the part of the reader to
recognize the fact that the two portraits at
the head of this article are of the same in
dividual and yet they arc truthful sketches
made from photographs, taken only a few
months apart, of a very much esteemed citi-
zen Of IllinOiS-Mr. G. II. Harris, whose adj
dress is No. 1922 Second Avenue, Rock
Island, Ill. The following extract from let
ter written by Mr. Harris explains the mar
velous change in his personal appearance. He
writes: "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery saved my life and has made me a
man. Myhome physician says am good for
forty years yet. You will remember that l
was just between life and death, and all of
my friends were sure it was case of DEATH
until l commenced taking a second bottle of
Golden Medical Discovery when became
able to sit up and the cough was very much
better, and the bleeding from my lungs
stopped, and before had taken six bottles Of
the Golden Medical Discovery my cough
ceased and l was a new man and ready for
business.
l now feel that it is duty that l owe to
my fellow-men to recommend to them the
Golden Medical Discovery which saved my
life when doctors and all other medicines
failed to do me any good.
l send to you with this letter two of nv
photographs; ono taken few weeks before

was taken after was we'll" These two pho
tographs are faithfully reproduced at the
head Of this article
Mr.. Harris's experience in the use of "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" is not an exceptional
one Thousands of eminent people in all
parts Of the world testify, in just as emphatic
language, to its marvellous curative powers
over all chronic bronchial throat and lung
diseases, chronic hafal catarrh, asthma, and
kindred diseases. 10
Eminent physicians prescribe "Golden
Medical Discovery" when any Of their dear
ones lives are imperilled by that dread dis
ease, Consumption. Under such circum-
stances only the most reliable remedy would
be depended upon. The following letter is to
the point. 1t is from an eminent physician Of
Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark He says
Consumption is hereditary in my wifes
family some have already died with the dis
ease My wife has a sister, Mrs. E. A.
Cleary, that was taken with consumption
She used DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry, and, to tho surprise of her many friends,
she got well. My wife has also had hem
orrhages from the lungs and her sister in

was contided to the unity Of aims by which
the members were supposed to be ami
mated. But whatever valce this may
then have possessed as restraining intiu-
ence, it would not avail much in modern
club, where the only aim which the men,
bers have in common is a general desire to
best the committee.
The fact is that modern clubs differ both
in character and in purpose from the older
ones. A man joins club nowadays, not
so much for its company, which he can
meet elsewhere, as for its conveniences--
its chef, its cellar, its library etc. 1t pro-
vides him cheaply with luxuries and facil-
tiles which might otherwise be out of his
reach. But TO achieve this many sub
scriptions are necessary, anu the net must
be cast wide for members.
In the huge clubs of the present day it
is not possible to preserve that friendly
intimacy between the members which
fourished when club could be defined
Tin the words of a Seventeenth century
writer) as u "sodalty in n tavern" But
for this reason mutual consideration be-
tween them becomes all the more neces-
sary; and if some Of the best features Of a
sodality are bound to disappear in mod
ern club, we may ut least be careful to eX-
elude from it some of the worst features
of n tavern,-LondOn World.

AS the squirrel was said by the old
Norsemen to bring all the news of the ami
mails to Thor, because he was the merriest
and most sociable of beasts, so in the talk
of the Russian peasants the hamster is the
synonym for all that is sullen, avaricious,
solitary and morose. Even in color he is
unlike any other animal, being light above
and dark below. This gives the hamster
somewhat the same incongruous appear
ance that a pair of black trousers and a
light coat lend to man; in other respects
he is like a large, shaggy guineapig, with
very large teeth and puffy cheeks, into
which he can cram vast quantity of rye
or beans for transport.
Each hamster lives in a large, roomy
burrow all by himself, in defense of which
he will fight like badger against any
other hamster who may try to enter. Fam
lily life he wholly avoids, never allowing a
female inside his burrow, but keeping her
at good distance and making her find
her own living for herself and family. The
last burden is, however, not a serious one,
for by the time the young ones are three
weeks old each discovers that family life
is great mistake and sets off to make a
bachelor burrow for itself and save up
beans for the winter.
For in addition to its other amiable quail
tiles the hamster has that of avarice in a
marked degree, and heaps up treasures of
corn, rye and horse beans far in excess of
his own private wants for the winter. His
favorite plan is to dig number of treas.
ure chambers, all communicating with a
central guardroom, in which the owner
eats and grows fat until the hardest frosts
begin, when he curls himself up to sleep
until the spring. Spectator.

An Chnx,s Ambition.

An "Anglo-lndian globe trotter" was IN
Canton, and for assistance in sightseeing
engaged the services OF young Chinese,
All Choy by name. The boy had pickedup
a little English, and was proud of his ac-
ouirement. In fact he had what seems to
be rare with Celestials, a strong desire to
become a master Of the English tongue.
He had taken the traveller to the South
Pearl hall, where the shrine of the
"Queen of Heaven" is ornamented with
handsome gilded carvings in wood
The Englishman admired the work and
inquired:
what are the vessels on the altar made
Off"
"All brrrass," answered All Choy.
All Choy was very proud of his ability to
pronounce the letter r, II great trouble to-
the people of his race, and was given to
rrrolling it with unconcealed self gratula-
tion. The Englishman was willing to
humor him and so asked:
What was that you said"
"Yes, all brrrass."
"Yes, all blllass," chimed in an un-
learned bystander, and All Choy's salts
faction was doubled.
Presently, however, his pride had fall,
for he pronounced the word "village" us if
it had been spelled "woolwich," and his
patron felt Obliged to correct him. All
Choy was crestfalen, and when the Eng
lishman proposed moving on he forgot his
RS in the confusion and answered, "Velly
we'll"
Il wonder" he remarked little later,
"if l went to England and studied for
three years, could speak English just like
Englshmen."
"Oh, yes" said the mentor, knowing so
much already, you might do it in half that
time.n
Then the true object of All Choy's am
bition was disclosed.
Yes" he said, with Frightening face,
"and then | could write an English poem"

1t was the day after one of the sensa.
tional races of the year had been run at
one of the big race tracks near this city,
and instead of the 10000 excited men and
women who had packed the grand stand
the day before, perhaps one-quarter of that
number were scattered about the inclosure
to watch the races of the day. A couple
of women were talking with one of the
numerous messenger boys employed to
carry the money of female racegoers to the
bookmakers in the betting ring, and occa-
sionally to bring some of it back The lad
was giving the women a description of the
crowd of the previous day, which had evi.
IDENTIFY not been of the character he de.
sired. Why" said he, with deep disgust
in his tone, there was 5000 women here,
but they weren't no sort of people for us.
There wasn't six decent ladies to make
bets in the whole lot. They was just a
crowd of Sunday school teachers and didn't
know enough to bet cent" The messen.
ger boy would probably be greatly sur.
prised if he could understand how wide is
the difference between his idea of decent
ladies' and that of the average Sunday
school teacher.-New York Times.

Could Find No Explosives,

He is the most profane man in one of the
big insurance offices. Never mind his
name; some of you know him. When a
piece of paper blows off his desk he swears
in way that must make the recording
angel weep, When you hear the windows
rattle with his profanity you may assume
that his pen is sputtering or that his pencil
has broken its point One day the fellows
in the office heard him say "Goodnessp'
They couldn't imagine anything small
enough to justify so mild comment, and
they all went to investigate the trouble.
They found that an immense inkstand on
his desk had upset and utterly ruined his
new white flannel trousers. His ordinary
vocabulary had failed. Hartford Post.

When the Ainu meet they rub their

while, and may continue this procedure
for considerable time. They then stroke
their boards, making a curious rumbling
sound in the throat, and again rub their
fingers and palms together, after which
the beard is once more stroked and the
business of the interview begins. The
women behave in still more curious man
ner. They do not salute their own sex at
all, but are extremely respectful to the

Yankee Dinlert.

It is often amusing to see the bewilde--
ment with which a city bred New Eng
lander listens to the dialect of his native
soil, a dialect which is as characteristic,
marked and persistent as that of
any part of the country. That anybody
who claims to be native of Yankeeland
should fail to understand dialect which
has become historic in its rugged simple
ity and homely oppressiyeness, seems al
most inconceiyable; yet there are thou
sands Of city bred persons, descendants Of
the old native stock, in all the large COM
munities Of New England, who would

OF the Koran than by some # the dialect
