MOST PECULIAR ROOSTER.
He Very Much Resembles Bird of Par
 adise.

He Very Much Resembles & Bird of Par
 adise.
 To see a rooster that resembles a bird of paradise is a rare sight, but such a one has recently been a common spec tacle in Japan, says the New York World
 This particular fowl was, apart from his gorgeous appendage, of the ordinary type found in Japan, except that he was little more proud in his bearing than his fellows.
 It may have been his manner that first led to his selection as the bearer of d most magnificent tail. The brief history that can be obtained of this freak rooster is silent on that point. It prob ably was selected because only an arro- gant, lordly manner could support such a wonderful and variegated appendage. Be that as it may, the rooster did cer- tainly have tail 16 feet long. In it were all the bright colors imaginable. The tail was far more brilliant in it's color ings than the shining feather-fan of d peacock.
 The neighbors of the Jap displayed no interest in the freak bird, but were amused by those who expressed admira- ton and wonder, who were invariably foreign travellers.
 Then it was discovered that the beau- tiful long tail was not a freak of nature, but the clever work of the ingenious Jap, who had fashioned and fastened the tail in such way as to defy detection except after the most minute scrutiny.

vClsSlTupEs OF LIFE.
Sequel to an Experience of Struggling
 Young Author.

Sequel to Experience of Struggling
 Young Author.
 "YOu remember my telling you awhile ago, when we were talking about the vicissitudes of life,'' said a strug- gling young author, according to the New York Sun, about an experience that I had once? I had a, number of manuscripts, you remember, which I desired to sell and which l sent out to the publications I thought them best suited for. One after another they came back, until they, had all come back but one. That one, in my own judgment, was much the best of the lot, and I had built strong hopes upon it; and when, so to speak, it still didn't come back, I felt sure that it had been accepted. But after waiting awhile longer and not hearing from it, wrote, asking about it, and the publisher wrote me polite note saying they had no record of it; it had never been received.
 That was the story as I told it to you, and I supposed that that was the end of it; and it was pretty tough, wasn't it? But now let me tell you the sequel.
 "Of course wrote a polite note in reply to the publisher; and in that note I described the manuscript and said that perhaps it might yet be found; and later it was found, and, by snakes, they returned it!
 ''That was solemn; but it was one of those things that are so everlastingly, gosh-b -blastedly solemn that you have to laugh over 'em; and there can't be anything very terrible in anything that you can laugh over; so, you see, come to take it altogether, that experience was not very distressing after all.''

HAS TWENTY HUSBANDS.

How 8 Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Do Bachelors.
 The cleverest marriage swindle of modern times was perhaps Miss Evelyn Leal, areally distinguished-looking Eng lishwoman. She has been married and given in marriage at least 20 times dur ing the last three years. while she has been afIianced as many times more dur ing the same period, and in every case has succeeded in obtaining handsome presents of jewelry, which she has inn mediately sold for what they would fetch. Her system, says Lippincott's, was to write to some rich bachelor mer- chant in the provinces, offering to in- troduce him to the widow of an English nobleman with a view to matrimony.
 Strange as it may seem, many of the provincial merchants took the bait, went to Paris, were, introduced to the "widow of the English nobleman," al lowed to escort her to the theater, make her presents of flowers the first day, gloves the second, while on the third, if the ardent would-be husband had not suggested it, she would quietly choose a wedding ring, with handsome keeper, accompanied by diamond necklace, brooch, and earrings, all these to con- stItute her wedding present. Then she would disappear with her jewels, change her clothes and name, and start the same game with another victim the following day. She would sometimes have two proposals of marriage on hand at the same time; she always calculated upon the frailty of human nature and the great dislike the victims would have to being politically exposed to ridicule for having so simply been taken in with the promises of the fair Englishwoman. Now she is being boarded and clothed at the expense of the French state, which. upon the recommendation of the aus fere magistrate, has engaged to take en- tire charge of her for the next IS months

Rash Promise.

A story is told of a London magistrate who had London lady up before him the day after Christmas whom the po- liceman said he had found helplessly tipsy. He told her he would let her go, considering the festive season, if she would promise never to enter a public house again. ''But, your honor," said the lady, "I was not drunk; I was drugged." 'Well,' said the magistrate, who saw that she was fencing, '1'll let you go if you will promise never to enter a drug store again." To save the fine she promised and departed. All heI soda water is gone.

Eye Changes Position.

It is not generally known that tie young fiat fish have an eye on each side of the body, and that it is only in the adult stage that the eyes are both on one side. There has been much dls- cussion among scientific men as to the mode in which the change takes place, out in the hoander the eye has been observed to travel over the lidge of the head, while in some other fish it passes directly through the soft tissue of the young fish to the other side.

For your Protection -Catarrh "Cures" or

For your PrOtection.-Catarrh ''Cures" or Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur
 ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not a blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

This Cannot Be Disputed.

A good road is the main artery of traffic. A village whose approaches are accessible and well kept is bound to thrive. A poor road at once brands the country wherein it exists as retro gressive or bankrupt and not worth traversing.-Sidney Hackes, Melrose, New York City. .-..-.------.---.-,--

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for a residence and when business crowds you out the rents will sup port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, 5 cash in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.
