Good Listeners.

In conversing with one IS friends moth
ing is SO chilling as an apparent lack of
attention and sympathy. 1t might be
added that nothing is more vulgar,
were not the listeners indifference COM
mon to the majority of our most Gull
tured people. If, when one is addressed,
she will remember to incline the body
slightly forward, an attitude of rapt at
tention will soon be unconsciously as
sumed, and, whether really worthy of it
or not, new recruits gained for the al
ways popular, as rare. Glars known as
good listeners. New York Times.

The ordinary hens egg weighs about
1000 grains, the white constituting
about 600 grains, the yolk 800 and the
shell 100. Divide the contents of an

that the white consists chiefly of water

Hare superstftions.

In most parts of Europe it is consid-

Romans this omen was SO unfortunate
that If man starting upon journey

would return and wait until the follow.

CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL
puI MONARY COMPLAINTS.
T. A. Slocum offers to Send Two Bot
ties Free Of His Remedy to Cure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles

ties Free Of His Remedy to Cure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles
An Elixir Of Life.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy in it's wake than an
the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. o., OF lSS
Pearl street, New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure of consumption and all pulmon-
airy complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles tree to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all cOndl-
tions of wasting. He invites those deslr-
GUS of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and postotfice address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach OF death. Al
ready this remedy, by its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands OF cases
which were given up, and death was looked
upon as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing SO proof-positive of its beneticent re-
suits, DR.. SlOcum considers it his religious
duty, a duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its cidatel, and,
by its inherent potency, stay the current
which the shadow OF the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
Causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy-ofered freely-apart
from it's inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more so is the perfect
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured"
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration of the afflicted, who for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salu brious chimes, where the atmos-
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles-the mistake Will
be in passing the invitation by.

If the goods are altogether up
to our standard we take them.
If they fall below that standard
they are hawked about until
buyers are found. Such chances
do not offer to small dealers,
because it wastes money to

masquerade successfully. The
town is full of dimities, but
some of the goods that are

though you substituted an
eglantine rose for an Ameri-
can Beauty. But retailers are
at their wits ends. Lots of
goods are selling for less than
their worth at Wanamaker's,
while these other dealers get
no chance at the big fresh lots
we take. This outlet is equal
to all demands and lots of
goods are taken here almost
invariably if they are up to
our standard and the prices
are advantageous to Our Pub

lose money, but our ready

is always dull at this time of the wear
and this year all the dullness is attrib-
uted to the large sale of bicycles and
bycyle sundries. There is no doubt
that several hundred persons have BIZ
cycles in their possession who have paid
only a few dollars on them and never
will be able to pay the balance. We
know of several instances where per
sons even owe their landlords for rent
who have said they could not raise the

THIEF AS HEARTBREAkER.
Made Love TO Women Who Visited
Him in Jail

Philadelphia, Feb. 7.-DuriBg his SIX
months incarceration in the Camden coun-
ty Jail, Hugh Poulston, a boarding-house
thief, appears to have crushed sundry
feminine Eearts. His tenn expired and he
was released Wednesday. The jailers say
he made love to a number OF young women
who visited the Jail.
There were two sisters who went there
to Sing TO the prisoner on Sundays and one
of them fell violently in love with the
prisoner, who poured into her willing-ears
a tale of injustice that melted her heart
and she visited him twice a week, besides
going to sing on Sundays. The jailers
say Poulston and this young woman had
become bctrothed. hut Poulston left town
without calling upon her.
Another young woman, the Jailers say.
had become so eDamored OF Poulston that
her mother had taken her out of town.
While Francis F. Souders. the saloon
keeper, was waiting the result of the
grand jury's action on the charge of his
killing John Jordan. he was visited fire.
quentIy by his wife, who was accompanied
by q friend The latter and Pouiston fell in
love, and Pouiston addressed to Mrs. Sou
ders a tender epistlc, niistaking the names.
Mrs. souders told her husband and the mis-
take was explained.
After Poulston left the Jail the keepers
discovered a letter addressed to one more
young woman by Poulston. in which he
expressed deepest sorrow over the fact
that he would be unable to wed her be-
cause of previous engagement with his
cousin Viola.

He can by means of this apparatus lay
bare the secrets OF the earth. There is a
process now by which much can be learned
regarding magnetic iron ore, but the process
will not apply To other metals.
BY this new process all the dips, spurs and
angles OF the veins and the character OF
the mineral contents could be easily dis
covered. 1t will save an immense amount
of labor and expense. Naturally the or
dInary prospcctor might not take TO 1t
kindly, but where the presence of certain
bodies OF ore was known it would be of
untold advantage to be able to tell without
sinking any shaft the depth ard quality
of contents OF the veins, as near as the lat
ter could be judged from photograph.
In many respects Prof. Roentgen's dis
covery viii prove the most wonderful and
useful of the many great discoveries that
have marked this end of the century.
