Legi.la,e Against Subst,tute..

The Homestead says: Another great
reason for the lower price of hops in the
market is the frghtful increase in substi-
tutes used by brewers. We believe the
use OF these bsttutes is rapidly in
creasing right here In the United States.
We know such is the case in England,
for one OF the English brewing journals
contains advertisements of no less than
$50 substitutes for hops and malt, in all
of which very active trade is reported
1t was not many years ago that the Eng,
lish government reckoned two pounds OIL
hops to barrel Of beer, but SO great has
been the use Of subtitutes and concoc.
tons that it is serious Question whether
the consumption Of hops in Great Britain
this year averages one pound to the
barrel.

TAKEN FOR THIEVES.


A yAgilante Posse Cots Into . Rsnnine
Fight with Friends.
"A vigilante posse, of which was
q member, was once taken for band
of -cs%tae --snd --~AsFvc-tAisves," -said
Henry Burns, of Wyoming, lately.
There had been Q large amount OF
thieving going on for some time. Cat
tie and horses disappeared like magic.
About ten of US formed vigilance
committee and started on the trail OF
the thieves. We traced them for forty
miles and came upon their camp q
little before sunrise in TIE morning.
They we're asleep and easily captured,
the sentinel himself having fallen
asleep. After trying the cases and
disposing Of the thieves In the usual
form In those days, we took their
horses and started for home, expect
ing 70 find the owners of the animals,
We had gone about ten miles when
we heard the sharp ping of q rife ball,
then another and another. One horse
fell dead and one rider was shot in the
arm. A running fight followed, as we
supposed with another gang Of thieves.
They gained upon us and at their head
] saw q man whom knew we'll, then
] realized that II was . posse similar
to our own. We surrendered, mutual
explanations were made and peace de-
clared, but will never forget being
shot at as horse thief ~.

RICH BoNDHOLDERS.

The millionaire -is-cumm0uty -rcpre-
sented as engaged in clipping coupons
from bonds This is an cggregious
error. Rich men, IS rule, do not
hold coupon bonds. The reason Is
quite obvious. Such bonds are not
safe property. They are always pay
able to bearer, like treasury notes. II
lost the government will not replace
them. Accordingly, for the sske OF
security, people" are constantly ex-
changing them for registered bonds.
Thus the sum total of coupon bonds
outstanding, which Is now about
$40, 900, 600, is all the time diminishing.
They are mostly in the hands Of small
holders. With the registered bonds 1t
is quite different They are rich mems
property par excellence. At. present
about S200, 900, 900 worth of them are
held by private individuals. OF this
great sum 8s7 200, 600, or not far from
one-half, are owned by 1000 persons,
roughly speaking, whose holdings
average $50, 900. The names of these
fortunate individuals are kept secret
by the treasury. Some Of the fortunes
possessed in this shape are enormous.
Some Of the greatest belong to the
Vanderbilts. Old William H. Wander
bilt had s42, 0OO, 900 in registered bonds

HEART DISEASE.
There Is Hope for Those Afflicted with II
IL They Take Courage.

IL They Take Courage.
Let those who are haunted with
suspicious of heart disease, and even
those who have good reason to know
that they are suffering from that in
durable malady, take courage from q
short story told by the late Sir Andrew
Clark in the course of clinical lecture
at the London hospital.
After reminding the young students
of the necessity for caution in the
s'prognosis," or forecast of the pro-
gress of this disease, Sir Andrew went
on to relate an anecdote of the house
governor of that very hospital-a cler-
gyman who was about to be married.
His intended father-in-law came to
him and said, you see you have got
no money, sir; you must go and get
your life insured" At the end of the
medical examination the physicians
said to him: 1--WE cannot accept you. +"
"Why?n asked the astonished house
governor. "Oh, we would rather not
say" But" he saId IL have never
been i'll in my life" and indeed he
was a sturdy fellow. ''Well, said the
physicians, 'if you will have it you
have got heart disease" Heart dis
ease? How long shall live? Shall
live for six monshs?" 'Oh, yes" re-
piled the medical men, you may do
that"
He went home and the match was
broken off. He wrote to the commit
tee saying that as he had mortal dis
ease of the heart, and could not live
for six months, he withdrew his appli-
cation for rooms wherein to dwell
with his wife. On the receipt OF this
letter the committee deliberated, and
said: 1--WE must superannuate him,
poor fellow; and, as he has but six
months to live, we will let him have
his full pay" Accordingly he was SUI
perannuated upon his full pay, and
upon this superannuity, said Sir An
drew, he lived for more than fifty
wears.
