GLADSTONE TOO WEAK
He Cannot Possibly Come to
America.
The Impairment of His Eyesight
Much More Serious Than Has
Been Reported.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The letter of Mr..
Gladstone in reply to the second invitation
of 1900 representative Americans to the
ex-Premier to pay a visit to the United
States was written throughout by Mr..
Gladstone and is in rather shaky, irregu-
lar handwriting, but is fairly egible, only
the signature being blurred. The latter is
scrawling, and in most respects wholly
devoid of the former characteristic neat
ness of Mr.. GladstOne's signature. tits

Stairs Were New to Her,

Some of the immigrants arriving il
this country are wonderfully ignorant Of
the COMMUNIST domestic appliances. A
lady who had a fit of economy not long
ago concluded to get a fresh arrival from
Castle Garden, hoping by her wise man
agement to train the girl into a capable
servant. Biddy arrived, stout and will,
ing and rosy, and with mouth wide open
in surprise at the novelties surrounding
her on every side. On being taken tC
the stairs to go up to her room she
stopped suddenly. And is it up thin
things that DILL have to go?" she said,
panic stricken.
She explained that it was the first time
that she had ever seen a staircase. She
overcame her fear speedily, however, fol
the next morning the entire family were
awakened by a sound that resembled the
prancing of a war horse. fastening tC
investigate the cause, the irritated mas
ter Of the house discovered Biddy racing
up and down the wooden staircase in the
abandonment of her joy at having dis
covered the "hang of it." "Shure," she
said, sit is an illigant amusement."-

PEOPLE Who Soil Books.

Librarians are not the only ones who
complain Of persons who habitually soil
books loaned to them by thumb stains
and marginal penciling. That habit is
the heaviest o imposed on dealers in
rare and expensive books. It is a prac-
tice with such dealers to send such books
out for inspection when requested by
those to whom the dealer thinks there is
a chance to make a sale. Valuable books
often suffer from the practice. Samuel
J. Tilden, while a good buyer of books,
was also a great offender in this respect.
He thought nothing of keeping a book
for weeks, making dealers send to him
for it several times, and finally returning
it thumbed and dog cared, with a mes.
sage that he did not want it. On the
whole, booksellers lost nothing through
NJ. Tilden, for he did not spare money
when a book caught his fancy, and his
library contained many treasures, but at
times his whims were costly and vexa
tiOus to those who tried to please him
Dealers say that there are many men IL
this city now to whom his habits seem
to have been transmitted.-New York

Hints for Travellers.

Nausea, from the motion of the cars,
may be prevented in the following way;
Take a sheet of writing paper large
enough to cover both the chest and
stomach, and put it on under the cloth
ing next to the person. If n sheet is
not large enough paste the edges of two
or three together, for the chest and
stomach must be we'll covered. Wear
the paper thus as long as you are travel
ing, and change it every day if your
journey is a long one. Those who have
tried it say that it is a perfect defense.
Those to whom the term sleeper" is
a hollow mockery may profit by the ex-
perience of statesmen and others who
travel frequently, and have the bed
made up with the pillow toward the 10
connective. Just why this should make
sleep easier is not explained, but the
plan is highly recommended.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

The Bane of friendship.

that you will not be annoyed. and upon
this assurance your friend proceeds to
say: 'If you are quite sure you will not
be angry l will tell you" Then comes
some unpleasant thing rejecting on your
temper, your tastes or, if there is a flaw
to be found, your habits. Sometimes il
comes in the definite form of an assertion
that you have been guilty of some troci.

are left ~defenseless. You cannot deny

To Preserve FabrieS

German ingenuity is stated to have re-
sorted to a method-revived from the
most ancient past-of rendering fabrics
proof against the raFage3 of decay for
an indefinite period, a process by which
it is said, no matter how delicate the
texture or color of the fabric may be, Its
long life is assured It appears that the
inventor in this case, a German chemist,
based his experiments or the commonly
known fact that the wonderful preserva-
ton characterizing the headbands OF
Egyptian mumnies Is attributed to their
having been impregnated with a kind OF
resin. Acting upon this assumption, ex'
periments were made with the substance
extracted from birch bark, with the re-
suit that the green tar left after the Oh
used in tanning has been extracted from
the white bark of the birch tree yields g
substance neither acid nor alkaloid; and
this, in solution with alcohol, forms a
liquid with a power Of resisting. after
once becoming dry, even the action OF
alcohol itself, and is alleged to possess
the property-so long a desideratum-O1
rendering textile fabrics apparently i'm
perishable, as far as decay is concerned
a peculiarly valuable property being also
claimed for it, namely, a ready unior
with the most delicate as well as brilliant
colors.-New York Sun.

No Doubt About American Soldiers.

Infantry, Of course, constitutes the
main body Of all modern armies, and by
the quality of its infantry an army must
be judged. The capacity of Americans
to make excellent soldiers was proved in
the war beyond a question. That hun
dreds of thousands of men, most of them
entirely unacquainted with the elements
eve of discipline and drill, were trans
formed in SO brief a period into officers
and soldiers was certai Ilv one of the
wonders of our time. But the material
was in the main of the best. the desire to
master the new trade well nigh universal
and very strong, and there were from
the beginning many opportunities for
practising what had been learned.
The armies of 1862 were far and away
superior to the levies Of 1861. The arm
les Of 1868 were decidedly superior tc
those of 1862. But in 1868 it is probable
that the highest point of efficiency was
reached in both the Federal and Con
federate armies in the east, and certainly
in the western army of the Confederacy.

He Didn't &c. ANY Tor shad.

A young man went iodine at the house
OF a friend. Now, this young man does
not profess to be a skilled anatomist, and
says the only way he can tell whether
there are bones in his shad is by getting
them into his mouth. And so when the
fish came he plunged it into his mouth,
without regard to its bony structure.
And when a bone revealed its presence
IN his mouth he took it out.
Now, ne likes shad very much, and he
had set his heart on having a second
piece. BIT he wasn't asked TO have any.
After dinner vas over his hostess came
and sat down by him. Did you want
some more of that fish very muchT' she
asked. We'll, l DO like shad very much, ,
he admitted.
Il saw you wanted some more" she
said, "but l didn't dare give it to you. ]
was afraid you'd die on the premises.
Reilly, in courtesy to your hostess, wher
you go out to dine you must bone your
fish before you eat it, and not after. ]

were eating your fish, for fear you would

she added naively, that would have
been a frighcful damper on the success
of my dinner party."-New York Even,

It's Her Way, Bless Her!

1t was an up town surface car, and
three women carrying small parcels
boarded it.
After ~disposing of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that they carried in their
hands. Neither succeeded to any ex
tent, and the red haired conductor wait
ed and winked at a cross eyed passenger
in order to note for future reference how
a cross eyed man winks-
Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the others arm and exclaimed:
Don't, dear, | have change" The
third woman said nothing, an lie con-
ductor paused in front of the trio for his
fare.
Don't you dare to pay the fare" said
one Of the wOmen.
And don't you" was the reply.
Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.
Faith, thin wimin do be always the
same" said the conductor as he returned
to his post. And who shall say he was
wrong?-New York Recorder.

Out of the Question.

Many pleasantries are written and

servants, but it is doubtful if, as a class,
they approach in c~aptiousness the male

proportionately hard to please.

daughter. Blanche, now ID years Of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness and

waSin such a condition that VT had to kcep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. In fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and

she would have had that terrible dfiiiCtion.
We hademployed physicians, but she received
no benefit from them. The first of last August
she weighed but 15 pounds, and although she
has taken only three bottles o. Nervine she
now weighs 1O6 pounds, her nervousness ana
symptoms of st. VituS dance are entirely gone,
she attends SCHOOL, regularly and studies with
comfort and ease. She has recovered complete
use of her arm, her appetite Is splendid. and
no money could procure for our daughter the
health DR. Miles NerVine has brought her.
