What He Wanted FOL a Vacant Lot.
One Of the most eccentric characters
IL Washington is Joe Willard. He is
very wealthy, but parsimonious to such
a degree that the walls Of his office are
papered with newspapers for the sake
Of economy. He owns some very valua.
bic properties, among them a vacant lot
Of the corner of Fourteenth and l.
streets. This lot John r. Mclean has
been very anxious to purchase, and he
made several Intellectual efforts to ne
gotiate a deal with Willard. The other
Gay he made this proposition to him:
II will clear off that lot at my own
expense, level 1t smooth, and cover it
all over with silver dollars. Then you
can pick up the dollars and l will take
the lot"
The price thus offered was fabulous.
far beyond a reasonable value. No
piece Of real estate in Washington was
ever sold at half such a figure. Eighty
one silver dollars may be laid within
the space of one square foot. The lot
in question measures about sixty feet
by 100.
Old Joe Willard by no means jumped.
at the proposition. He cooked his eye
slyly at Mclean and said:
"Will you put the dollars on edge?"
That terminated negotiations.

swindling Chicago's Rich Men.

Many are the schemes invented by un-
scrupulous persons to obtain money
from rich man,~ who are known t. be
generous, under the guise Of charity
SO great has this nuisance become in
Chicago that a detective agency has
been established for the purpose Of
looking into such to see If the ap-
plicants or the institution they claim to
he subscribing for is worthy Of it. This
agency saved the rich men of Chicago
about $2OO,OOO last year. Some Of the
Gchemes for obtaining money are GER
tainly novel. One Of them is for a per-
o to rent a vacant lot, dump a load Of
stone on the ground, and then 60
around to some of the philanthropic
citizens and solicit money for a charita-
Bile institution which he says is to be
built upon the land. 1t Is a clever swim.
die and has been successful in more in.
stances than one.

Poor IndeedI

The prospect Of relief from drastic catlar-
tics for persons troubled with constipation
Is poor indeed. True they act upon the
bowels, but this they do with violence, and
their operation tendsAto weaken the intes-
tines. and is prejudicial to the stomach. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is an effectual lax
alive. but 1t neither gripes nor enfeebles.
Furthermore. it promotes digestion and a
regular action OF the liver and the kidneys.
1t is an efficient barrier against and remedy
for malarial complaints and rheumatism,
and Is Of great benefit to the weak, nervous
and aged. AS a medicinal stimulant it cam
not be surpassed. Physicians cordially rec
ommend it, and it's professional Endorsement
is fully borne out by popular experience.
Appetite and sleep are both improved by
this agreeable iuvigoraut and Alternative.

Little Books.

The immature prayer books and other
toy volumes IN which our great-grand-
mothers delighted have returned to
favor. Some Of the new prayer books
measur two and a half by one and
three-quarter inches. Nevertheless the
portions Of the service most used are
printed in what is known as agate type
and are readily read without a glass.
These dainty little books r usually
bound in white morocco, tipped with
gold OF silver, and cost Sill upward.
They are sometimes suspended from a
chain attached to a finger ring, so that
they may be carried in this way. The
little dictionary, which contains 10000
words, is even timer than the prayer
book. Its print can only be read by a
magnifying glass, which is convenient
" framed in the 1t measures
three-quarters of an inch by one and
one-eighth. The glass magnifies the
type until 1t is about the same size as
the ordinary nonpareil type Of a news
paper.-New York Tribune.

Girl-Isov Drummer.


A fair and sprightly girl. of but
twelve dimpled summers, and giving
tho name of Charles Martin, enlisted
in n of the Pennsylvania regiments,
in the early period of the war, as a
drummer boy. She had evidently en-
loyed the advantage of education,
could write a good hand, and even
composed very we'll. She made her
self useful to the officers of the regi-
ment in the capacity of a clerk; and
though involved in the scenes and
chances of no less than five battles,
she escaped unwounded and unframed.
The officers never dreamed of any
hitch as to her sex. After a while,
she was taken down sick with typhoid
fever, II disease then quite prevalent in
Philadelphia, and was removed to
Pennsylvania Hospital. 1t was while
there that the worthy matron of the
institution discovered the drummer
boy, who had passed through so many
fatigues, perlls and rough experiences,
to be no more or less than a girl not
yet in her teens.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The project of the Nicaragua Canal has
been debated in the Z. S. Senate very
vigorously. One thing should be remem-
,bered about that climate, it is death to al
most every foreigner who goes there, and
slaborers especially succumb. 1t is said
that the Panama Railroad cost a life for
every tie. What an idea Of pains and
aches is in this sentence. 1t is mostly due
to carelessness. Every laborer provided
with St. Jacobs Oil would be armed
against these troubles. Mems muscles
there are cramped with rheumatic pain
and they ache all over. That's just the
condition where this sovereign remedy can
do it's best work. The fearful malady is
very much like the break-bone fever in
certain parts of America.

How Made $1,000

By not sowing SalZer's seeds! That Is
what a jolly farmer said rs he entered
u sanctum. How is that? Why.
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had l
planted a few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn. potatoes. grass and clover
seeds, l would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me $1,000. 1t is a fact that If you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you mustsow Salzer's seeds.
If You Will Cut This Out and Send 1t
with &c postage to the John A. Salzer
Seed Company, La Crosse, Wis, you
will get free a sample of Grass and
Glover Mixture and their seed cata-
logue. GNU

Dark Rooms" in English Hotels.

Models for About 500 Each.
Do you contemplate building a house,
If 80, here is or in, aluable suggestion
guaranteed to save you q lot of money
and regret, and preserve the architect
from untold a~geravation. In Boston,
avs the New York Pfess, thee is a
man who from pleas and specifications
Aiil mako tiny model showing in de-
tail just how the completed building
will look. He Charge, from $50 to $40
to duplicate in miniature a three-story
dwelling of ten or fifteen sepa ate
apartments. Everything is accurately
reproduced, from the slope of the roof
to the tread OF the staircase. In this
way the prospective owner, seeing HE
ideas practically realized, Is able to
even with q lively Imagination and
sCme knowledge of building, it is i'm
possible to get q very clear conception
of proportions. Verandas that looke1
luxuriously bread or paper become
painfully contracted when actually
D anked over, and it is astonishing to
&c h W cramped and cheap, Or bald
and big is the real house that n fan
cied quite free from flaws. The Bos-
tonian's scheme is to ave you any ros-
sible disappo. ntments or b.unders. On
a platform five feet by four inches he
sets up the little model, shingling,
p~lastering or painting the exterior,
you propose using for the real struc-
lure. Every window Is in its proper
place, doors swing easily on their
hinges, halls are low or lofty and rooms
snug Or airy, just as you propose in the
plans. There is the house. that you
may turn it round and round, view it
from q dozen standpoints, see where it
meets your expectations, or wholly
fails to ma,erialize your favorite theo-
ries. 1t Is true that $50 may eem a
tidy sum to throw away on a toy, but
those who have experienced some OF
tho fluctuations of house building will
think it rather az inexpensive expe-
dent in the end.

She offered, last Saturday, if l would

"And you accepted the offer?"
Indeed l did, most gladly. I go
