THE SOCIARLE MAN.
Some Of His Characteristics and Why W.
Love Him.

SOmo OF HIS Chhracterbt1cS ana why WO
Love Him.
The sociable man is the most favored
Of mortals, If he who is always cheer
full and happy can be said to be favored,
and who shall hold to the contrary?
1t does not necessarily follow that
the sociable man is always a source OF
cheerfulness or happiness to those with
whom he comes in contact. On the con-
trary, very little of him is sometimes
quite enough, while very much of him
is cloying, not to say wearing
But the sociable man is ever upon the
best Of terms with himself, and it is
impossible for him not to obtrude his
buoyancy where it is not absolutely
yearned for. The sociable man, were
he book that could be shut up at ones
pleasure, would be comfortable man
to know, but one is not always in the
mood to read the most interesting or
the most diverting of books; and SO
with the ,ciable man--his sociability
is at times unattuned to our feelings,
and then is he distraction rather than
a diversion, an annoyance instead of u
| benefaction.
It is true he always has to say what
he considers the proper thing for the
occasion. II it is a sweltering summer
day he remarks how hot it is, which
can not be otherwise than comforting
| to one who is nearly melted. If you
are pale or sbnormally flushed he very
appropriately informs you that he never
saw you looking SO bad, and then per-
haps endeavors to reassurc you by mar
rating how Mr.. Soandso was taken the
same way you seem to be taken only a
week ago, and that he was buried yes.
terdsy. All this is told in his own So
ciable way, and If T. does not imme.
diately interest you it is pleasure, or
should be, to see how it interests him.
Then the sociable man has way OF
worming out Of you the story of your
daily life, with all It's cark and care,
and in doing this he seems to be per
forming a disinterested service, mas.
much as II is relief 10 have an ear ut
hand into which to pour the tale of our
troubles and disappointments; and the
socAble man, in thus casting his bread
upon the waters, has it all returned tc
him, not after many days, but immedi
ately, and so he has the wherewitha
to be more sociable than ever to other,
in rehearsing what you have told him
The sociable man is seldom profound
His tongue is not idle sufficient to give
him the opportunity for reflection. Sc
he is not given to thinking; talking Il
his forte, and one who is always talk
ing can hardly be expected to do any
thing else.
The sociable man is, in short, jus
the kind of a man that one likes t.
meet once in great while, the longe
between whiles the better; not tha
you do not appreciate his worth, bu
because you do not feel that 1t is righ

, haps others may be suffering to enjo,

DO you ever use ink Nearly every
man, woman and child uses the fluid and
yet few know anything about how it is
made. With the aid OF ink history is
written, or printed, therefore the I'M
portance of good ink stands up before
you. The oldest inscriptions known are
written on stone in the British museum,
they were carved 1000 years ago. The
oldest specimen Of written language in
ink extaut, is on an Egyptian Papyrus,
now ia the museum at Paris. This writ
ing is about $500 years old. The Chinese
claim that they invented ink 5000 years
ago, but they have no records or docu-
ments to prove it.
The best writing inks of the present
time have for their bases Aleppo nut
gals and sulphate Of iron. The know
ledge OF so manipulating and combining
these substances as to produce good
ink is possessed by very few. The Thad-
deus Davids company are the only man.
utacturcrs Of this ink and they hold
diplomas from the American institute
dating back TO 1S45 in which the writ
ing done with this ink is now very much
blacker than the copper plate printing.
These inks have been we'll known in the
United States for four generations.
These are the very best inks known. We
keep full supply on hand at 4c. bottle,
regular ink size, and if you bring your
bottle along will fill it for &c. and &c., as

KILLING BASS WITH A BLOWGUN
South American Method Introduced by q
Fisherman OH the Potomac.

south American Method Introduced by Q
Fishcrman OH the Potomac.
"You can talk about gill nets and
dynamite and trout lines for killing
fish," said an old river man the other
day, "but there's man here in town
that's got the greatest scheme I've
struck yet, and he's killing enough fish
with it to stock boarding house. He
don't do thing but just shoot em, he
don't. l see him up the Lowgrounds n
week or two back with string Of bass
that must er weighed ten pounds. And
blame me ef he hadn't killed EN- all
with spit-ball blower.
HE had little brass pipe, about
four feet long and rs thick as your
finger, and q lot of little arrows made
out OF fish hooks Strengthened out and
cotton wrapped around the end. lie
was walking quiet-like along the
edges Of the long ponds the low water
left In the low ground, and when he'd
see one Of the big bass that had got
landlocked by the water going down,
and there's lots Of 'em up there, he'd
just lot fly his blowgun ut It and
knock 'em through six inches Of wate,
every time. lie had q silk thread &c
his arrows, and hauled his fish in with
it, and as he'd hit 'em back OF the gill;
they hardly kicked.
II tell you 1t didn't hardly lool
natural, going tlshin' that way, but HI
just laughed when spoke to him ant
said he learned the trick from the In
dians down in South America. Dow
by the water he had some place

and he shot one Of his little fish hoo

Tho Senator Explains His Attitude Toward
the Republican Senate.
TRENTON, March 6.-When the Demo-
cratic senate met Senator Miller of Cape
May, who last week left that body and de-
nounced it as being under the control of
the race tracks, was in his seat and an
swered the roll call When asked if he
was going to return to that body, Senator
Miller denied that he had ever severed his
Democrat, he said, and did not intend to
sell out his party
He would never go over to the RepuG.
lican senate and had never said he would.
He reaffirmed his statement of last week
that rather than have the race track laws
continue in force if the Republicans would
come over to the Democrats before adj ourn-
ment he would vote to seat them in order
TO repeal those laws.
The Republican senate. which held a
short session, ordered a number of bills to
a third reading and passed bills repeating
the acts relative to the election of school
trustees in third class cities and appropri-
ating 5000 for the current expenses of the
bureau of vital statistics.
When senate bill No. l, providing for a
change in the custodian of laws, came be-
fore the house, Mr.. Flynn announced that
the Democrats did not recognize the senate
which passed the bill and would take no
part in its passage by the house. The bill
was passed under a suspension of the rules,
the Democrats refusingSto vote.

The fourth annual report ofths exeou-

out. The expenditures from December 10.

So The receipts, including balance of
S17,799.49, were sci ,191 .6S, leaving a
balance or new account of SAG. 4l9.SS.
The report of Matron NJ. Felteris as fol-
lows: Number of patients in the hospital
December 10, 1892, Is; admitted during
the year, 176; births, /; total number of
patients treated, 1872; males, lis; females

December 10, 1898, IS. The working staff
comprises two trained nurses, four who
have served in the hospital one year or
longer, one in training, one orderly, a
ianitor, cook waitress and laundress.
In their Introductory report the execu-
tive committee call attention to the IN
crease in the number of patients and to the
fact that the expenses are in excess of the
receipts. A member of the committee
has. at his own expense, built and fur
nished separate house on the grounds
where the nurses can get necessary rest,
something of which the hospital stood
greatly in need, andAGives control of cor
responding number of rooms in the main
building.
ire committee say: w nave IeCelNetl
from the executor of the will of the late
Margaret German, by direct bequest and as
reSiduary legitee between nine and ten
thousand dollars. Margaret German was
born in Rickettstown, county Westmeath,
Ireland, in 1886, and died in Waterbury,
December 81, 1891. She left an estate
of about SIS, O00 one-third of which she
received from sister who died a year or
two earlier. She gave 81 900 to the hospi-
tai and about So, 900 to other charitable
and religious institutions and to relatives.
On the contingency of the death of a
brother (who had, as was ascertained, died
some years since in the West Indies), she
made the hospi'a al her residdary lagatee.
The whole of this money had been earned
and saved at domestic service. She had
lived in one family thirty-four years. AS a
generous benefactor to the hospital, and as
an example of what even with moderate
earnings may be accomplished by indus
try and frugality, it seems fitting to us
that this mention should be made.

SURPRISING FIGURES.

The Extent of Advertising Done by the
Lydia +. Pinkham Medicine Co.
Some idea of the Importance of the
Lydia Z. Pinkham Medicine Co, rs Lynn
enterprise, may be estimated by the
amount of advertising which Is placed by
them in the leading newspapers of Ameri-
ca. Advertising is in their line one of the
surcst gauges by which to judge the ex-
tent of their business.
The newspaper advertising of this ia
nous concern is all placed through the adj
vertising agency of Pettingill & Co, Bos-
ton, and the writer recently learned while
in their offices that eight tons of electro
types were shipped by them to the news
papers in one day, all of which were ad-
vertlsements of the Lydia E. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound.
Some idea of the extent of such adver-
Using can be formed when one considers
the fact that a five-inch electrotype weighs
but n few ounces, and that eight tons con-
sists of 256, 600 ounces, or an amount suffi-
cient to furnish all the leading publica-
tons of America with more than five
electrotypes each.

Medicine Co stands in the front rank
