Oans
 A custom of the Abyssinian braves is described by Pearson's Weekly. The girls themselves play an active part there. When young people are gath cred for Amusement, one of them will begin peelipg a straw of green millet, which is full of pith.
 Her lovers blood runs cold, probably, hut he must smile or own himself a craven. When she has cut the pith in to bits an inch long, he stretches out his bare arm. The example set, every girl who respects herself and has loy' CT follows it.
 The young men form a circle with arms extended. Blithely, then, with many jest, doubtless, the maidens ar. range their bits of pith upright in some fanciful design on the bare flesh, md set them alight. They are nearly m inch thick, and they burn very slowly but the hapless youth must stard and smile as well as he can till the blood oi the scared flesh extinguishes them.

Years of experience in connection with the mining industry and in con tact with mining men leads us to be- lieve that the business of mining, when conducted with the same skill and attention. is infinitely moro productive than that of general merchandising, banking, railroading or any other similar industry.

The Bigaest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently neglects his health, and the means of preserving and restoring it. Many persons who are not con stitutional idiots do this, They are genuine objects of compassion as well as censure. A failure Of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, impaired digestion, an uncertain state of the bowels and symptoms of biliousness are so many warnings of the approach of disease. To disregard them is abject folly, which offended nature in due tune punishes severely, if not fatally. That genial and thoroughly reliable preventive of bodily mischief in the shape of chronic disc SC, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will, if resorted to m time, avert those disorl lers, to the removal of which it is also fully adequate. Among these are chronic indigestion, liver complaint, kidney troubles, constipation, nervous ness, rheumatism and malaria,

No Gratitude Among Politicians.

No Gratitude Among Politicians.
 Political work is the poorest paid work in existence for the honest and unselfish politician, says Taggert's Times, A man may work and toll, spend his time and means for the bene- fit of his party for scores of years, assisting many into places and power, but when he desires something for himself the ones he has aided turn against hin nine times out of ten The very fact that he may need place to assist him in obtaining living in his maturer years is a point against him. Unless he can sur ly demonstrate in advance that he will in the future be of material service to those who happen to he in control of political fasors, all that he has done for them and others count for nothing There is no such thing as gratitude for favors received m political circles, as thousands have discovered to their s. tonishment and sorrow. Therefore, the best thing for young and middle. aged men to do is to keep ont of politics and attend strictly to their own business, if they have any. The days of patriotism in politics we fear have forever passed.
