Russian Sable,

Russian sable owes its warmth and
gloss to the fact that the longer hairs,
as we'll as the under fur, are absolutely
uniform in size and "section. Thus,
the sable tail makes perfectly proper
toned natural pendant to the skin when
used as cape, and the whole skin has
the unity of manufactured fabric, with
the other qualities only found in natural
fur. This -eminence Of sable fur gives
it a value in the most minute quantities.
The longer hairs, or surplus pieces Of
the fur. are carefully saved and made
into the best paint brushes, which al
ways keep a point" and il tho color.

Sealskin and beaver fur ~ not cnly
softer, but warmer than any Of the furs
which, at first sight, seem to approach
them closely in color and texture. Hare
skin can be clipped and dyed so as to re-
semble sealskin, but even if lined with
wool it does not approach the pelaeic
fur in warmth Or in luster. The wonder
full fneness Of the under fur of the seal
causes it to hold minute quantities Of
air in the infinitely small jnterstices be-
tween the hairs, and while the air in
closed is warmed by contact with the
body the fur is a nonconductor to the
cold from without. ut.-London Spectator.

Undicnified For . Statesman.

1t is said that woman remembers
man whom she has known we'll as a lit
tie boy always as the little boy and ney-
er can think Of him as grown up. This
saying seems to be borne out to certain
extent at least by an amusing story told
in connection with the appointment OF
M. Edouard Lockroy as minister OF na-
rine in France.
When NJ. Lockroy was small boy,
his father lived in house in the street
in Paris which now bears the name Rue
Washington. His home was in the fifth
story CT this building, and it appears
that he had certain habits which render
ed him Objectionable to some Of the 9TH
or residents of the building, particularly
to the concierge, or woman who looked
out for the door. He found, for instance,
a more expeditions way Of coming down
from the fifth floor than by the stairs.
This excellent woman is still living.
When she heard that Edouard Lockroy
had become a minister, she threw up
her hands in establishment and ex-
claimed:
"What! That little Edouard Lockroy!

from the fifth story of the palace CT the

The youngest member of the noisy box

Indigestion is often taken for con-

means wasting away, and dyspeptlcs
often waste away as badly as con-

The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get enough
to cat, or they don't digest what they
do eat.

HIS IDEA OF A SHARK.

The Boy Had Read About tho Fish and
Jotted Hts Ideas Down.
An examiner Of lads under 16 for the
civil service commission gave for ques-
tion, Describe the habits of fish," Here
is literal transcript Of one out of q
batch Of some hundreds of answers:
1.-THE shark is about 20 feet long and
has five rows of teeth wher the shark Is
going to catch its pray it turns On its
side. The sharks are found in Indiad,
where they are very numerous in AZ
RIGA, etc. The way they catch sharks Is
lowering piece Of meat on sharp
hook (and sailors will do it for amuse-
ment), and the shark is very hungry al
ways, that he will grab at the meat and
find himself caught.
"On Of his foes are the sord fish it
will 60 and rdn its sword through its
stummick.
when the shark has been floating
about On the water for some time it gets
q lot Of small fish in its mouth and they
will go and lay on the beach and let
small birds come in their mouth and
pick them off and will not heart them.
The shark can live in water and on land.
Going from England to Indiad, you will
see sharks in the nile, they will follow
ships for many miles on purpose to get
some meat, and then perhaps not get
any. They are different kinds Of sharks,
the Black shark, Etc.
1.-THE shark is very curious animal,
it can lay its teeth down when not
catching any food.
"Once upon q time there was a ship
going to america, and on board some
slaves the slaves were pack so close to-
gerher that they could not live. and the
captin Of the ship yous't to let some
come upon deck, and many OF the slaves
yous't to jump overheard, and be eat
with sharks, SO the captin determined to
stop it if he could. So one day black
slave woman was just in the acted to
jump overheard when the captin caught
her, and had had as many slaves as be
could get upon deck. And then he had q
rope fastened around her vast, and low

captin had the other half pulled up and

A Slave from 3oyhood.

From the Red Wing, (Minn.) Republican.
Il am now twenty four years DID,"
said Edwin Lawnson, of White Rock,
Goodhue county, MINI, to Repub-
lican representative, "and as you can
see I am not very large of stature.
When I was eleven years old I be-
came afflicted with sickness which
bafied the skill and knowledge of
the physician. I was not taken sud-
denly i'll but on the contrary can
hardly state the exact time when it
began. The first symptoms were
pains in my back and restless nights.
The disease did not trouble me much
at first, but it seemed to have settled
in my body to stay and my bitter ex-
perience during the last thirteen
years proved that to be the case. [
was of course a child and never
dreamed of the suffering in store for
me. I complained to my parents
and they concluded that in time I
would outgrow my trouble, but when
they heard me groaring during my
sleep they became thoroughly
alarmed. Medical advice was sought
but to no avail, I grew rapidly worse
and was soon unable to move
about and finally became confined
continually to my bed. The best
doctors that could be had were con-
suited, but did nothing for me. I
tried various kinds of extensively ad-
vertised patent medicines with but
the same result.
"For twelve long years I was thus
a sufferer in constant agony without
respite, assesses formed on my body
in rapid succession and the world in
deed looked very dark to me. About
this time when all hope was gone
and nothing seemed left but to resign
myself to my most bitter fate my at
tention was called to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Like a
drowning man grasping at q straw,
in sheer desperation concluded to
make one more attempt-not to re-
gain my health II dare not to hope so
much) but if possible to ease my
pain.
II bought box Of the pills and
they seemed to do me good. l felt
encouraged and continued their use.
After taking six boxes I was up and
able to walk around the house. l
have not felt so we'll for thirteen
years as during the past year. Only
one year have I taken DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and I am able now to do
chores and attend to light duties.
DO I hesitate to let you publish
what I have said? No. Why should
l? 1t is the truth and [ am only
too glad to let other sufferers know
my experience. 1t may help those
whose cup Of misery is as full to-day
as mine was in the past"

The new year has brought back the same old
blooms,
The daisies for the leas
The bluebells sweet, and the cowslips' plumcs
And the pale anenIones,
And again with the golden fires of spring
The woods and groves are bright,
And the same old songs the blackbirds sing
In tho apple orchards white.
And the dawns are bright and the ewes are fair
AS e'er in the days Of old.
And the fragrant hawthorn scents the air,
And tho sorse is Of FURNISHED gold,
And the wind has come DER the southern seas
From shores where the nereids play,
And as Of old do the brigand bees
On their clover blossoms stray.
There's an amber sea n the farof west,
Where the hills and the sunset meet,
And the hymn Of the throstle by its nest
Is tender and clear and sweet,
And wait and watch, as in days of yore,

Can my sweetheart come to me!
