Love PhiItres Not Tonics.

She is tired, she is cross, peevish and
fretful, this little wife of yours some
evening when you hustle in just before
the late dinner in wide awake activi-
ty that CRATES upon her tired nerves.
The Gordian-like knot of wrinkles only
screws up bit tighter at your indif-
ferent pinch Of the cheek where the
dimples ought to lie, and chow rough
you are greets the clumsy tOussle
wife's hair gets at your hasty hand
touch.
Whats wrong? p
Nothing only tired.
"Well, you'd better take some sort
of tonic. Need building up, guess.
Get the doctor to prescribe something.
Then deep into the evening news
delves hubby, with now and then an
impatient rustic of the paper, when
the weary little housewife and mother
signs out her fatigue at the days du-
ties.
Tonic Bosh She would tone up
briskly enough if you gave her pleas
ant and unexpected dose in the shape
of love philtre once and a while.
Not, understand, the word Of praise or
admiration tossed like bone to dog
when the patronizing mood is on you,
but some daily bit of afectionate doc
toring for the helpmate who must tread
the routine Of household duties and
who wants genuine love bracer the
first thing at the beginning of each day
to fit her for the tiresome engineering
of domestic machinery.
There isn't much mind sickness un-
der the roof tree where Cupid serves
as family physician. His remedies for
jaded nerves, sore hearts and wounded
feelings are magical in effect and his
fees are so moderate that his services
are within the reach of all.
Try one of his love philtres some-
time in place Of an iron tonic.

"Play Dat Mockin' Bud Ag'in."

Moonlight bathed the verdant sward
in a flood of silvery light ; a sweet
wind did gently kiss the trees, and
they did make no noise.
That's where the trees differed from
Algernon. He was making noise.
"While l beneath thy lattice keep
do touch my h-i-i-ght guitar" he sang
and while so engaged he touched the
light guitar, as initiated in his round
clay.
"She hears me not, he continued in
plaintive strains; and such seemed
to be the case, forsooth, for no sign Of
appreciation issued from the vine-clad
mansion.
Her spirit sleeps" he was led to
conclude in fortissimo tone of voice.
That number on the programme was
ended and still no lady love appeared
at the lattice keep to wave her snowy
hand. "Juanita" failed, Goodbye,
Sweetheart, Goodbye" possessed no
charms to draw her forth, and after
sundry other tuneful plays had been
rendered, Algernon finished with the
"Mocking Bird" and sadly turned to
went his homeward way.
But no; a window is raised, and he
turns with rapture in his heart and
smile upon his lips.
a head appears at frst-story win
dow, and from inner darkness there
floats upon the summer air:
ooh, mister, won't you play Dat
Mockin' Bud agin. De ;amily's all
gone away tonight but me, but l SUIT
tenly does love dat music. Play Dat
Mockin' Bud ag'in, mister.

HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is a common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to fol-
low The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains moth

An organized effort will soon be
made by many of the leading railways
in the country to induce the Pullman
Company to reduce by % per cent the
price of upper berths in sleeping cars
The movement is said to have origina-
ted with the Pennsylvania Company,
and already a number of lines have
agreed to join in the appeal to the
Pullman Company for the reduction.
The complaint is made by the roads
that so many people object to the up
per berths that they are often COM
PEELED to run extra sleepers in order
to provide the requisite number Of low
er berths. They are obliged to do this
or see the passengers so to competing
lines if the desired lower berth can be
obtained there.

SHAVING WITH BROKEN BOTTLES.

The natives of Jamaica have no
need to buy soap, for the woods abound
with plants whose leaves and buds sup
ply very well the place of that indis-
pensable article. Among these is the
soap tree, so called, though it is more
a bush than a tree. It's bulb when
rubbed on wet clothes makes beauti-
full lather, which smells much like
common brown soap. The Jamaica
negroes, some of whom are great
dandies in their way. make soap out
of cocoanut oil and home made lye,
and fine soap it is, smooth and fra
grant. The cocoanut oil soap is used
for shaving. When a man wishes to
shave he starts out with his cocoanut-
shell cup and his donkey tail brush and
bottle. it is never any trouble to find
an empty bottle in Jamaica, even in
the mountains. At least twenty gen.
erations of thirsty people have lived
there and thrown away the empty bot
ties. The man carries no mirror, be-
cause he has none to carry. Not one
negro cabin in dozen has cheap
looking glass. But nature supplies
the mirror as well as the soap. The
man goes to convenient pool in the
mountain stream where the water is
still, and there is his mirror. He
breaks his bottle on stone and picks
out good, sharp piece. Then he
fathers his face and begins to scrape
away with bis piece of glass. which
works almost as well as a sharp razor.
The men rarely cut themselves in
this operation. "At first" says
writer, 81 trembled for them, but
afterward ] tried the method for my
self and soon became almost an expert
at it. Pearson Weekly.

secure valuable ring upon it, after
having disrobed the body. He said
the struggle with the beasts almost
discouraged him from other attempts.
He related that the opening of the
graves was attended with little work,
as it often occurred that burial
parties left the grave side as soon as
the religious ceremonies were con-
cluded. leaving him to fill in the earth
at his will, and that sometimes he
waited until after night. and after he
had disrobed the body before doing so.
When the seSton's house at the ceme-
terry was searched several boxes and
trunks were found. filed with raiments
of the dead, ready for shipment to his
confederate.
The Territorial Legislature of Utah
had made no statutory provision for
the punishment of the sections offense;
the Courts were powerless to protect
him from his captors, and after
Court of the peoples appointment had
passed upon his case it was duly an
nounoed that the culprit should be
and remain tied to whipping post
with his back barred for three days,
when each and every one who had
friends buried in the cemetery violated
should, if he desired, administer 40
stripes. But it was the subsequent
part of the sentence which constituted
the real atonement if such were posi-
BILE for such a crime, that would appall

middle of Great Salt Lake-a desolate,
utterly uninhabited island. with no

supplied the only drink for all those.
Provision was made to send the solitary
wretch coarse food once each week by
ono whom he was not allowed to ad-
dress or approach. No tools of any
kind, or any means of escape, were per-
mitted him. The island should be his
sole abiding place for the remainder of
his life.

WON THE GAME.

Here is a Munschausen- like story
which actually appeared in an old Ger.
man newspaper: In an imperial city
lately criminal was condemned to
be beheaded who had singular itch
ing to play at nine-pins. While his
sentence was pronouncing he bad the
temerity to offer a request to be per-
mltted to play once more at his favor
ite game at the place of execution, and
then he said he would submit without
murmur.
AS the last prayer of dying man.
his request was granted. When
arrived at the solemn spot he found
everything prepared, the pins being
set up and the bowl ready. He played
with no little earnestness; but the
Sheriff. at length seeing that be
showed no inclination to desist. pri-
vately ordered the executioner to strike
the fatal blow as he stopped for the
bowl.
The executioner did so, and the head
dropped into the culprit's hand as he
raised imself to see what had occurred;
he Immediately aimed at the nine,
conceiving that it was the bowl which
he grasped. All nine falling. the head
loudly exclaimed. 81 have won the

WHAT HE GOT FOR MEDDLlNG.

A Kansas City paper prints story
to the effect that Lane county farmer
named Buskin, travelling across the
country in a covered wagon with his
family. went into camp at Pauline
and celebrated American independence
by whipping his wife. He tied her to
a wagon wheel and commenced to beat
her with strap. Mrs. Buskin cried
and attracted the attention of Abe
Lucas, who resides in the neighbor-
hood. He went to the rescue. Buskin
pulled gun. Lucas picked up piece
of bridge and smashed hin, on the
head, knocking him silly. He then
released Mrs. Buskin and she abused
him like pickpocket for hurting her
husband. When Buskin regained con-
sciousness he and his wife made up
and agreed to travel the rest of the
journey in peace.

HAWTHORNE, ESMERALDA COUNTY, NEVADA SEPTEMBER l. IS

This Heilman locomotive generates
its own electricity. Ii carries a triple
expansion engine that drives dynamo
set ON the tender. The motors are
affixed to the trucks. This transfer
nation of power may seem at first
strange and useless, but the engineers
report net saving of 30 per cent. in
fuel over the use of steam.
This is due to the use of triple ex.
pansion engine and the economical ap-
lication of power. Locomotives are
very wasteful of steam. reducing the
percentage of efficiency extremely low.
1t is figured there is only loss of 10
per cent. of energy in applying cleo
tricity, and the same amount in triple
expansion engines. This locomotive
is hauling express trains and is giving
satisfaction.
''The success of the electric locomo.
tive i'll Baltimore suggests the possibi
ity of using them in the New York
Central tunnel in this city, and the
tunnels i'll Jersey City. Suffering

would welcome them.
Still. until the test of the electric
locomotive places it beyond question,
none of the roads will make the
change. Even slight block in the
Central tunnel would cause great in
convenience.
