The Americans, Paradise.

1t is an old saying, that "Good
Americans, when they die, go to
Paris;" but the majority of Ameri-
cans, good and bad alike, in these
days of rapid ocean transit, don't
wait until they have passed from
this mundane sphere, but embrace
the first favorable opportunity Of
visiting la belle France, and many
and ludicrous are the episodes
resulting from the lack of know
ledge Of the French language and
customs. In a most amusing and
handsomely illustrated article,
can Americans Mistake in Paris"
published in Demorest's Magazine
for April, the trials and blunders
of one American are told in a highly
entertaining style; and while one
laughs heartily at the visitors
mishaps, the causes that brought
them about are made so clear that
those who read will be forearmed,
on these special points, at least,
when their turn comes to visit
''the Americans PARADISE An
other illustrated paper on travel,
"Nileistie Experiences" is equally
entertaining and unique, and intro
duces one to many amusing charac-
teristics of modern Egyptians and
their donkeys. ''In the Land of
Lilliput' is most prOfusely illus
trated with portraits of midgets
who have been prominent in public
since the time of Tom Thumb, and
the accompanying narrative is
specially interesting. Seven of
New York's most prominent clergy
men tell how their denominations
celebrate Easter, and their reasons
for doing so, and there are several
poems appropriate for the season,
The story matter is very attractive,
and every department is filed with
bright and helpful suggestions.
This is an especially good number
of that excellent family magazine,
published by W, Jennings pemorest,
at 15 East 14th ST., New York, for
only - year,

THE PAST guarantees the future.
il is not what we say, but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the
story. Remember HOODS CURES

Dainty curtains of white dotted
Swiss or null or point d'esprit net
appeal to every woman. These
look so neat and clean when tied
back with delicately tinted ribbons.
Sheer muslin with a scalloped
border is very cheap and pretty.
Although the ruffled dotted Swiss
curtains are far more inviting are
just now a fad. About five yards
are required for one window.
Fur rugs, a lounge covered with
soft cushions, couple of Japanese
umbrellas forming canopy, a few
chairs and low tea table on which
are spread the service, teaball,
souvenir cups and saucers-these
are needed for the sitting room or
bOudoir corner in which afternoon
tea is served. This corner should
be as dainty as time, taste and
space allow. The expense offurnish-
ing such a nook Is very small.
In the modern House Beautiful,
much attention is given to the
furnishing of "cozy corners"-
sequestered hooks, where one can
rest, revel in the pages of a good
book and enjoy perfect immunity
from draught.. A large upholstered
lounging chair, innumerable floor
and chair cushions, a daintily
eprtained window, a small floor
rug, two or three tiny etchings or
water colors, a small hanging case
filled with books of various kinds,
and surmounted by very few bits
of hric-a- brac, and last, but not
least, portiere suspended from a
griffin rod-these are required for
nm inviting corner in a library or
parlor.

Piles is SO common that
every other person you meet is
troubled with it more or less. It
seems to be little thing and usual
ly gets little attention. 1t may not
be serious at first, but it makes a

cross, irritable-unft for business.
1t robs him of sleep, takes his ap-

yet he is careless about it.

bonds, but deny that the depos-
itors in savings banks have there
any 81 800, 100000 of gold or any
81, 500, 100000 of money.
1t is true the savings banks owe
their depositors that amount, or
about that amount, but l question
the ability of the banks to return
it under the gold standard. 1t is
impossible. Your savings banks
and your trust companies cannot
endure the gold standard and exist.
The securities in the savings banks
and trust companies upon which
they pay their depositors interest
are perishing. They are not worth
to-day fifty cents on the dollar in
gold of their original cost. The
failure of railroads and the failure
of corporations, the shrinkage OF
securities, will sap the foundation
of all your savings banks and trust
companies, and again the people
must suffer.
1t may be that the preeaution
was taken to deal with q foreign
syndicate for fear that the depos

An interesting hunting trip of one
all who desire can or have had an oppor
tunity of seeing fine specimen OF q
moose, which was shot by Harry Lee in
the vicinity of Schoodic lake, and he has
a right to be proud of his trophy which
but few of our hunters have succeeded III
shooting and delivering the goods. He
reports great sport and plenty of game
deer being seen every day He brought
home one. John Robbins was with him
and can tell quite u story concerning the
magnitude Of the territory they hunted
over and his experience. Mr.. Lee met
this moose face to face on the tote road
and it took two shots to stop him, though
he ran a quarter of n mile after the second
shot. Some idea Of its size may be
gathered from the fact that it took ten
men to drag or carry the body to the road
where two horses hauled it TO the rail
road. Mr.. Lee says about every day they
would hear the sound OF moose tearing
through the brush and that partridgcs
were so abundant as to I've shot at pleas
urc, being very tame. He relates that
Lynn man shot at one seven times. at
tempting to shoot the partridgc's head of.
At last patience ceased TO be n virtue even
in bird, and it flew away. According
to MIR Lees account of this sportsman S
paradise were it possible the old sachems
would if they could rise, believe they had
been wakcned in the long promised
happy hunting grounds Lee, Wad-
leigh & Company will cut up this moose,
today, and give all chance to taste oil the
real moose meat. Call at their store.
