 THE END.
Disappointed h the Gift.

I've never preached or taught, D said Ben Adhem, ''but I've had some httle experience ill the unexpected my self. remember che instance which occurred on my fathers farm in good old Ohio. zeke was very raw, very ungalnly and very poverty stricken hand, who hailed from the least re- spectable region of country roundabout. He had probably been brought up on parched corn and maple sirup and nev- CT had Sunday suit in his life. When he came to us, at any rate, he was al- most barefoot, and as the days began to grow chill father took it upon himself to buy zeke 8 pair of stout shoes. The presentation was sorrowful scene. Zeke held the shoes disconsolately by the string which tied them together and tried to look grateful, with alarm ing unsuccess. Why, what's the mat ter, Zeke? Don't you like your shoes? father asked in real concern. Zeke's face quivered and presently broke into a lubberly expression of woe Yes, sir, , he said, gulping hard, but I could have went without shoes, an I'm just sufferin fer searfpin.

Long Flights of Birds.

The distance which birds travel is marvellous, the naturalists say, and lay men are inclined to believe them. W. Herbert Purvis writes to the London Field that every spring great numbers of golden and ringed blower arrive in the Hawaiian Islands and leave the first week of May.
 The nearest points of the American coast to which they go are in southern California and the Alaska peninsula respectively, about 2,000 geographical miles, and there is no intervening land. It may be that the birds drop into the water to rest occasionally, as ducks do, during such long flights, but it is not probable. This is the longest regular flight known of shore birds over water, but it is known pretty certainly that some sea birds fly as regular thing much farther than this during their migrations. The brant geese, for in- stance, are said to nest in Siberia and to fly north over the Arctic ocean and south again to Cape Hatteras, or there about and beyond, every year.

When some of the native priests saw 2 photograph of their ruler, taken by the correspondent, they upbraided him for allowing a European to reproduce his features by means of an instrument in- vented by the devil. "Idiotsl" replied Menelek ''On the contrary, it is God whe has created the materials which make the work possible. Don't tell me such nonsense again, or I'll have you beheaded ''

Judges of the olympian Games.

Universal peace during the month of the games was proclaimed by heralds in every part of Hellas, and the slightest breaking of the sacred truce was thought saerilege, which deisies and men alike were bound to punish. The judges of the games, or "Hellanodicate, " ranging from 9 to 12 ill number at different times, were elected by the Eleans. All who wished to be judges were required to show not only that they had never committed a crime, public or private, but that they were stainless ill moral character. Not infrequently even men of distinction were excluded by this se- we're test during the golden age of Hell lenic honor. e. T. Ferris in St. Nicho- lur

HAS A BAD LOOK.
A Business Transaction Of New Lothrop
Firm.

A Business Transaction of New Lothrop
Firm.
The firm of VIM, Barrie 81 Son learned
recently that the firm of Ziegler, Stranger &
Rolfe, of New Lothrop, had given chattle
mortgage on its general store to R0binson's
shoe house, of Detroit, for $1,000. AS
VIM. Barrie & Son held note of the New
Lothrop firm for $3.50, and were its,credtors
for $50 more, they sent their book-keeper,
A. FiXel, to New Lothrop to look into the
matter. Mr.. Fixel, TO his establishment
found the note looked like forgery, and he
reported Monday night to the Saginaw firm.
He decided, after consultation with the
prosecuting attorney, to effect settlement,
if possible, otherwise to haye Mr.. Zeigler, a
member of the firm, arrested.
The firm has done business with Mr. Barrie
& Son for years, and always met its obliga-
ton. Barrie & Son may have been taking
forged notes for some time without know
ing it.. Mr.. Barrie, senior member of the
firm, said: "Mr. Fixel told me that Mr..
Ziegler had asked his partner, John Rolfe's
son John two months ago to endorse the
firms note for $3.50, the note having hereto
fore been endorsed by John Rolfe, Sr.
The boy, who is only 90, said there was no
use in him signing it, as he was not worth
anything. Mr.. Ziegler told him to go ahead
and sign, it would do no harm. The boy
is said to have signed and the notes were
issued without the fathers signature. 1t is
a mixed affair, and don't know how it will
come out. There is report that the boys
father is dead and that the money brought
into the firm was $4,000 belonging to Mr..
Rolfe. The notes were always payable at
the American Commercial and Savings
Bank, and the one in question had been
discounted by us there and will mature in
week. The notes were brought to me by
Mr.. Zeigler, and l have had no reason
hitherto to consider any member of the firm
dishonest. Saginaw Courier Herald.
The Courier Herald of this morning says:
1.-The New Lothrop firm of Zieg,er, Strong
& Rolfe has given VIM. Barrie & Son securi-
ty for all indebtedness and no further ac-
ton will be taken in the alleged forged note
transaction"

Aboard Ship.

Sea voyages are usually deemed promot-

But it may we'll be doubted if the shaking

constitution and weak nerves get, is not
prejudicial if its effects are not averted or
nullifed by medical safeguard. The
best, If we are to believe the testimony of
ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for
health, pleasure or business, is Hostetter's
Stomach Btters. Invalids, commercial tray
elers, sea-captains, and yachtmen concur in
recommending this fine defensive tonic. So
do emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants
of malarious regions, and all who are ex-
posed to the rigors or hardshps of climate.
For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble,
nervousness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and
constipation it is eminently efficacious, and
commended by the medical fraternity fai

The following from the st. Johns Re-
publican is commended to the thoughtful
consideration of our readers who ride BIZ
cycles: Sunday bicycling is growing to
such an extent as to seriously interfere with
church attendance in some localities, and
create some apprehension on that account.
Cycling is great craze this year, but it is
altogether probable that the good sober
sense of the people will in time, regulate
the matter, so far as Sunday is concerned.
People cannot afford to disregard proper
observance of the Sabbath, or weaken the
work of the churches.

1t certainly is disheartening to pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
n1ent given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
lind a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether IN
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the HARM
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored
sp1otches are but indications of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that suppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad
