UNCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE.

A Broad street young man is sur
prised at the prominence he has achiev-
ed as leader of enforced f:ads. He is
simply a manager in a concern, and
never anticipated the small commotion
he has created in Wall and Broad
streets. Last winter year ago he
decided to wear cOlOred shirts during
cold weather, with black tie. He
did 50, because the shirts fitted him
better than his white ones. A few
days later he noticed other young men
wearing the summer colored shirt, and
later, almost the entire street contin-
gent. He merely noticed this, but
thought nothing OF it.
He next wanted pair of water
proof shoes, so rs not to be bothered
with rubbers or overshoes. His shoe
maker could only fit him with heavy
yellow summer water proofs. How
ever, necessity drove him, and he put
them on. Almost Immediately Wall
and Broad street approved oft and soon
everybody stamped though snow and
slush with bright yellow water proof
shoes. Still he felt unconscious OF
having set fashion.
Then the dangers from footpads and
''hold-up" came on. He bought him.
self heavy knotted walking stick, with
a big curved handle, sufficient in weight
to kill man. Although not the cane
of fashions decree, his followers very
soon all had indentical walking sticks.
He now was forced to observe that his
appearance was closely copied. His
hats. his overcoats and his clothes were
duplicated as fast as he assumed them.
He is very much surprised at all this,
being quiet and modest man. But
he is convinced that where necessity
works changes in mans appearance
or life of which the public approves,
he will have prompt following. There
can be no doubt that in the matter of
shirts, shoes and sticks, the timorous
only wanted courageous, selt-uncon-
scious man to lead them on to a
necessary reform.-New York Er.

UNCLAIMED ESTATES.

One of the most hopeless delusions
prevalent in the United States, as al
Turing as the search for the philoso-
pliers stone Of the Middle Ages, and
not confined to the illiterate classes, is
the belief that there are in Europe es-
tates innumerable. and ofunlimited val
ue, awaiting rightful heirs and claim
ants. In the meantime these estates
are supposed to be locked up in Pro
bate or Chancery courts. in the Bank
of England and similar institutions, or
in the occupancy of fraudulent, or
wrongful if innocent, tenants.
Most of the claimants of these estates
are probably ignorant how well found
ed their claims may be: the idea OF their
having any claim having been first sug
gcsted to them 10y the advertisements,
catalogues, or circulars of fraudulent
and unscrupulous claim agents. The
latter sometimes compile 4 list ofnames
purporting to he those Of persons who

so the names of tcstators in cases in

numerous. Out ofthis prodigions mum

come so numerous that Jennings
Claim Association, located at last ac-
counts in Canada, has been formed,
with entrance fees and assessments le-
We'd annually for the benefit of the I'M
scrupulous managers who pretend to
act for the deluded members. Appli-
cations to the Department of State by
claimants of the Jennens estate had
already become so numerous in 1874
that our minister in London at that
time, after consulting firm of well
known solicitors there, ascertained that
the lost estate in question belonging to
one John Jennens, of Erdington and
Birmingham, who died in 1858, and
whose estates eventually passed to one
William Jennens, who died in 1898.
possessed Of about f2,OO0,OO0 sterling
As he had omitted to sign his will, his es-
tate passed to his heir-at-law, George
William Augustus Curzon, and in 1874
belonging to Earl Howe, the head of
the Curzon family. Mr.. Jennens'
personal property passed to his cousin,
and was divided among Earl Beau
champ and others. The claim to the
estate has been repeatedly before the
courts; and in November, 1880, Vice
Chancellor Malins, in the case OF
"Willis and others VS.. Earl Howe and
others" when giving judgment against
the claimant, is said to have remarked,
"If such claim could be allowed
after period of eighty-two years, no
one would be safe in the possession of
his property" AS regarded this estate,
it is therefore safe to say that there is
not the slightest hope for any claimant,
and that the Jennings Claim Associa-
tion is only a trap to catch credulous
persons, any payments by the members
of the association being so much lost
money put into the pockets of sharpers.

TAKEN IN TINE

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have un-
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands of cases which were thought
to be incurable, and after fair trial
has effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about Hoods
Sarsaparilla is that its cures are per-
manent, because they start from the
solid foundation of purified, vitalized
and enriched blood But it is not what
we say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla
does that tells the story.

But ef it'll give folks the idee as to

Mr.. Boone took kindly interest in
the old mans novel venture, assisting
him in his preparations for the eNhibi-
ton When the Fair opened Jerry
occupied closed booth. in the center
of which stood the curious looking
creature. On the outside an attractive
advertisement of Il homemade moose,
with low admission charge, was arrang-
ed by Mr. Boone.
Proud and hopeful Jerry sat inside,
collecting the coins that came slowly
at first. The cautious public was
shy of venturing its nickles on sham
creature. But rs those who pioneered
the way praised the animal, others
followed. And. too. Mr.. Boone stimulat-
ed the patronage among kindly hearts
by spreading the report Of the old mans
need and his object in making the
exhibition. And when the three days
of the Fair were over. Jerry had taken
in the sum of fifty dollars.
Stationed near Jerry on the Fair
ground was travelling museum. When
the proprietor of this examined the
moose and saw the patronage it elicted
he decided it would be a valuable
acquisition to his collection. And at
the close of the Fair he offered Jerry
the sum of one hundred dollars for the
creature; but the old man would not
dispose of it until he had counseled
with his kind neighbor.
Eyes, indeed" said Mr. Boone; "sell
it by all means, Jerry. The money
will be worth more to you than the
animal And | will have talk with
YOU this evening as to how to invest
it." SO the trade was made, and Jerry
went home with his old heart relieved
and gladdened by his success.
True to his word Mr.. Boone saw the
old man at the close of the day. ''Jer
ry," he said, ''my plan for you is this:
For you to invest this money in three
good COWS and 90 little heavier into
the milk business. Then you will be
able to hire 4 boy to deliver milk and
drive your cows to pasture. Every
one knows how clean and careful you
are with your milk, and you could have
4 good many more customers among the
neighbors."
As Jerry comprehended the full sig
nificance of this suggestion his old face
lighted with joy.
"Why, Henry Boone" he exclaimed,
with eager, excited voice, what :; mas
