There are degrees and kinds of poverty, just
as there are differences of opinion among those
who compute and measure poverty and
riches ny different standards. Some men deem
themselves poor because they are less rich
than others. again they are comparatively poor
people who are satisfied with Il competence.
There is 4 kind of poverty for which no amount
OF wealth can compensate, namely, poverty
of bodily stamina, cViuGCd by nervousness and
Il GeI'augement OF the functions of digestion,
bilious secretion and the bowels. To restore
yigor upou a permanent basis there is one
remedy that fully covers the requirements
fills the bill, - and this is HCstctter's Stomach
Bittcrs. ByrestOring digestion, giving health
full impulse to the action Of the bowels and
liver and tranquilliZing the nerves, it fultills
| the condition necessary to Il resumption OF
strength by the system. 1t also OVercomeS

work after persons have fed them. They
seem to have no aim in life nor destination :;
they travel from place to place, ambitious OF
nothing but glass of liquor and hay-loft or
straw stack in which to cast their worthless
bodies at the close of day. About three
weeks ago. one Sunday evening, Mr.. Pentland
and Mr.. ChicUat We're returning home, from

was stopped 10y two tramps in the covered
bridge over the Big GunpOwder river. Again
one evening last week, Mr.. Pentland informs
us, when he returned home he saw tramp
sleeping in his delivery wagon. The county
is full of them, and the impudence OF The
ajor part of them is unprecedented. incl Tour
that were in the gentleman's loft got 1ngress
by means of removing all the glass from one
side of a window in the stable and then sought
the loft. 1t seems strange that something
can't be done to prevent this trespassing. A
few years ago the good roads fever seemed to
be the contagion, why would it not be practi-
cal to lodge these fellows near some quarry
and compel them to earn their subsistence by
the sweat of the brow, and not he put upon
the farmer as an encumbrance. There is no
doubt among them some that are worthy, but
which ones are they and how can person
discriminate? They all have their 'little tale
Of woe to narratc and claim they want work,
aud if an axe and a wood pile is shown them
they claim they have just come from the hos
pital where the doctor Informed them their
lungs are weak and violent exercise would
return them to another siege of suffering and
pain. Some even have the audacity to tell |
YOU they Don't know how ter cut wood
Is this right? The farmer, with the low price |
of grain and produce generally, has enough |

4 Plague Of Doves.

Ever since Noah took IA pair Of
doves with him on his famous cruise
these birds have been partial TO big
buildings. To be sure, they will in
habit little cotes in barns aud stable
lofts and thrive fairly well, but no.
where else are they SO prosperous as
in the great wooden ice houses which
lately have been put up along the
Penobscot river in Maine. Before
people began 10 harvest ice in that
region there were not 1000 doves
along the river from Port Point to
Bangor Now more than =, 600 live
IN the ice stocks IN Hampdeu alone,
while III Orrington, just across the
river, are as many more. When the
ice cakes are packed TO tue caves of
the houses they are covered deeply
with coarse meadow hay To- prevent
waste by thawing. The doves carry
this hay to the broad plates OF the
houses, where they build nests aud
breed faster than rabbits in Austria
liza.
A short time ago one end OF the
Arctic ice house WAS blown down, aud
whcume went ont to clear up the
wreck they found more than 200 doves
crushed among the fallen boards ana
timbers. So plentiful have these birds
become that boys are earning money
by killing doves and selling them III
the markets.
Although the birds are companion
ionable aud pretty, they are very UNI
tidy housekeepers, and therefore not
desirable tenants in buildings where
ice is kept The custodians OF the Ice
houses declared war on them about Il
year ago, and have been shooting and
sharing them ever since. Yet the doves
continue to multiply so rapidly that
several companies are thinking of
converting their ice houses into pigeon
lofts, AN inclination that is encouraged
by the present quotations OF Ice. -

Bank Note PnnerS.

The nine kinds of notes printed by
the Bank OF England are all on
thin, white, crisp paper. The ink
used is black, a hard, dry preparation,
said to be made from naphtha smoke.
A popularity of the English notes
is that the engraving is simple and
old fashioned, in contrast to the notes
of other countries. which are most
deliberately engraved by complicated
machinery, the designs being difficult
of imitation by hand, and the lathes
and ruling engines being so costly rs
to discourage counterieiters.
The English paper is made by a
private concern, as is that IN use in
the United States, the pulp of the lat
ter beinga mixture of linen, cotton
and silk, the silk threads coming into
prominence after the printing.
The French bank note paper is Of
similar texture, hair being used with
the pulp instead of silk threads. Over
10000 notes are issued by the Bank
of England daily, of an average value
of 800.

Hotels ne.rro,Inr Home Life

There are half a dozen hotels IN New
York now finer than eau be found IN
any other part Of the world One
wonders, writes Chicago Record
correspondent, where all the money
comes from 10 maintain these enor-
nous aud costly palaces, pa which Ne
man can live for less than = Uf eio
day, aud this fall AL. OF them are
crowded. ] have looked into the din-
iug-rOoms If the Waldorf and the
Holland night after night aud have
found every table occupied aud lots al
people sitting around waiting for those
who came in carrier to finish their dln-
neFs.
These magnificent hotel, with their
elegant appointments and cOuvenlen-
c., are dong much to destroy home
life in New York. Everything Is made
So comfortable and SO easy for those
who are able to pay the charges. Ihey
supply all that the greatest wealth
can obtain in II private residence aud
every luxury offered by modern ln-
gcnuity and art without the slightest
care or responsibility. The patrons
are exempt from all the labor and an
4oyance of housekeeping. All that Is
expected of them Is 10 pay their
weekly bills.
People who live in these fine hotels
tell me that although the expense IS
great it is much less than that OF
housekeeping. Rents, servants wages
and the cost Of all kinds of food have
increased enormously in New York
during the last few years, until no"
none but those Of large incomes can
afford To live in a convenient locality
or Il commodious house. People OF
slender purses have been driven into
the uptown flats or the suburban
towns.
4 friend tells me that the repairs
upon the house he occupied IN New
York cost him annually half as much
as he pays for his rooms at the Wal
durf, and people who have tried both
methods of living will give you ignre'
and arguments to prove that there l.
Just as much comfort and less expense
in hotel than there is IN home life
particularly for those who have Ii,
children.
