THE MAN IN A HURRY.
How He May Make Himself Decidedly
 unpleasant Person,


 Unpleasant Person.
 A stout and determined looking man with white chin whiskers, gray hair brushed severely back from his forehead and gold spectacles on his prominent nose entered a restaurant in Four teenth street at the rush hour and strode rapidly to one of the tables at which there was vacant seat. He hung a stout cane on the hatrack far upon the wall near the end of the table and was divesting himself of his overcoat when he happened to notice that the waiter was about leaving the table with orders for the other men.
 Hold on minute, young feller, and take my order, too, - he shouted. Bring me some hash, with poached eggs on it, and couple of sinkers and some coffee in a hurry"
 Then he finished taking off his over coat and tried to hang it on what he probably thought was peg of the hat rack, but he hit on the end of his cane instead, and the coat Topped down on the floor, while the cane, after knock ing several hats off the rack, fell on the head of a man near the wall and then bounded on the table with force enough to break several dishes and scatter coffee and gravy about promiscuously. The men at the table picked up their hats and began to say unpleasant things, but they were quickly awed to silence by the stout man, who declared with fog horn voice:
 Its an internal outrage for man to keep such rack as that in his place. If was running this house, I'd see that there'd be decent arrangements for folks who patroniZed it. y
 Then he slammed his cane back on the rack, hung his overcoat on a peg and sat down to glare at the waiter, who cleared away the broken dishes and wiped up the spilled coffee and gravy with fresh napkins. Two minutes after the waiter had left the table the stout man began to grnmble.
 II guess, he said, that he has gone down town to buy the meat to make that hash with. He must have been born late in the day. said I was in a hurry, and now Isuppose he will take all day. If I don't get what ordered right away, I'm going to leave.
 Then the waiter came with the hash sinke1s and coffee, and the stout man made them disappear in way that showed he was "hustler." When his jaws had ceased to work, he yelled for his check and made grab at his over coat and cane. There was another show CT of hats from the rack, but the man in a hurry did not stop to pick them up. IT {1x-, {<-> {,.- The other men did not try to detain him, but one of them said:
 That man must have been born be- fore daylight
 There Were some expressions of assent to the remark, and then another man rounded it off with the declaration, And he is trying the best he knows how to make other men wish he never had been born at all. "- New York Tribune.

DO YOU OYERWORK?
Do You Get Exhausted and
 Irritable?
Such Conditions Mean Much More Than
 You Think.
How to do the Most and Best Work
 Without Getting Tired.

People are ambitious. they want to bet ter their condition and to have the good things of life. To do this they overwork and put too great strain on their strength and nerves In consequence, the nerves become weakened and the person soon loses the power to work as much as for merly.
 When the nerves are weak, the heart also becomes weakened. Severe heart disease is liable to follow if this condition is not checked. Weak heart causes poor circula- tion. indigestion and many other troubles. It is dangerous condition to neglect. The following letter written by MT w. A. Phillips, of Moretown, Vt gives some in teresting information;
 "I have been troubled with heart diseass and indigestion. not being able to do a days work for some time. I employed physicians and used many remedies, but was not benefited by them. have seen days in the last few months when I would have given anything to be able to do a good days work.

AN UNDRAINED ROAD.

times dusty, and its continuance in this state of grace varies with the years, sometimes six months, sometimes ten.
 All that depraves a country road in Iowa and renders it horrible to contcm- plate and source of profanity both in- ternal and external is uncontrolled wa ter. Speaking not now of country roads leading to cities, where thCro is a great deal of heavy hauling, but of the roads for country use, all that is needed to make road that will be excellent from six to ten months in a year, averaging about nine, is to keep tho water from rising up under it and provide a way for the rain to run off as it falls. Tho under waters arc found whore roads cross or follow sloughs. The wet spots, where the most hideous mudholes occur, are on the edges or sides of these sloughs and are caused by the rain soaking down through the upper fertile soil and striking q vein of hardpan or impervious clay, and therefore coming out laterally.
 The remedy for this is under drain age, either with tile or with rock, laid either under the roadbed or alongside of it, so as to catch the water before it reaches the bend. We have seen many of the very worst and most impossible mudholes rendered dry and placed in excellent condition ill all seasons of the year, with an expenditure of not over $5 ill labor and material. After these wet spots and secpy places have been re- moved ill the manner above suggested the roadbed should be thoroughly blow ed narrowed and rolled until it is re- duced to the finest possible tilth, then graded so as to allow the water to run off as it falls, and as often as ruts arc formed by passing teams i'll wet weather gone over with d road grader when it becomes dry and kept ill a smooth, well rounded, oval shape.
 To secure this treatment of roads ono thing must be donc-proviSiOn must be made in the laws of the state that will allow the supervisor or whoever iS in authority, to find drainage through ad- joining lands wherever necessary under the law of eminent domain. Unless this is done narrow minded landowners will effectually prevent by unwisc opposition any effective road drainage, and hence any permanent road Improvement

Early Efforts at Making Cook Stoves.

Doubtless some form of cooking stove has been used from a very early period. Previous to 1T45 the stoves of all kinds used in America were imported from Holland or Germany, but in that year a stove was invented by Benjamin Franklin that was great improvement on all that had preceded it. In 1771 he continued his inventions in this line and produced d stove for burning bitumi- nous coal which consumed it's own smoke and another which, after being filled at the top, could be inverted and made to burn from the base. Between 17S5 and 1795 several improvements ill stoves, ovens, heating and cooking apparatus were made by Count Rumford, and as early as 119S his soapstone lined ranges had been introduced in New York and were coming gradually into general use.

The position of bomb chaperon to Russell Sage may. after all. be regarded as fairly lucrative one-Wa Washington Star.
 Poor Russell Sage! He must pay $25, 900 for the saving of his life, And he is worth only 40,OO0 00OO.-Baltimore American
 If MT. Sage really has to pay that $25, 900 to MT. Laidlaw, be will never cease regret ting that he didn't use lower salaried em- ployee instead.-Boston Globe.
 Russell Sage is called upon to pay $25, 900 for using his clerk as a shield against a bomb. The verdict will affect Mir. Sage more seriously than did the explosion.-In- dianapolis News.
 Now, it would appear that instead of Laidlaw shielding Sage the latter received a portion of the discharge and to that ex- tent saved I.aidlaw from injury. If Mir Sage becomes much impressed with this idea, he may possibly sue Laidlsw for dam ages-Washington Post.

THE GROWLER.

Doctors these days think the only disease that can't be cured by knife is love sick ness.
 Nearly every man believes that he will finally invent something that will make him rich.
 We often hear it said of man that he is a queer duck" We never knew a man who was not.
 Almost every woman we know would like to know what some other woman has got to be so proud of
 The advice others give you has no other effect than to convince you how superior your own judgment is.

THE statistical abstract for 1893. issued by the national bureau of statistics. gives a comparative table of the annual con- sumption per capita of distilled spirits, wines and malt liquors for a number of years. This table dispels common error in regard to the consumption of liquors. since 1t shows that the use of distilled spirits has appreciably increased instead of being diminished. It has been noted for several years that the popular taste for beer was on the increase and from that came the inference that the people were using less liquor. The statistics show that the inference is incorrect, since the amount consumed of distilled liquors per ctpita has increased from 1.27 gallons in 1SS0 to 1.51 gallons in 1893. gain of about 20 per cent. The consumption of wines has fallen of somewhat. and that of beer almost doubled, it being s 26 gallons per cepita in 1880 and 16.OS gallons in lSqS
