Ten Per Cent For Salvage.

There is q street boy who hangs about
tho corner of Wisconsin and East Water
streets who is evidently quick to SEQ and
seize an opportunity.
just before the recent blizzard the wind
whiskod off an old gcntleman's fine silk
hat and sent it merrily bowling up Wis
consn street.
Here, boy" he called out, "get my hat
for mol"
"What arc you offorin?" inquired the
boy.
"Get my hat, quick, and I'll give you q
dime'
Whats it worth?'' asked tho boy.
Seven dollars and half. Why? Come,
get move on you. It's brand new hat,
and I've only just bought it. Hurry now,
and I'll make it n quarter"
81 guess not, replied the boy, placidly
turning away 81 amt in the business Of
furnishin gents wi 81. so silk hats for q
quarter, Gimme 10 per cent for salvage,
boss, and away go. Do I get it9''
Tho old gentleman gazed at him for o
moment in helpless astonishment and
then nodded consent, and tho boy whooped
after tho hat and brought it back In .tri-
umph. There is great future before
that boy.-Milwaukce News.

An Indian Taboo.

The penalty for violating, even un-
Willingly, tho taboo of gems is visi-
tation of sores, livid spots, inflammation
of the eyes and even blindness. The
In-shtasunda. or thunder gems, do not
touch reptiles, toads or beetles. Some
years ago the vegetable garden of the
Omaha mission was visited by the pota-
tob bug. The good missionaries in charge
engaged the children in the work of ex-
termination by Offering bounty of 5
cents quart, solid measure, for de-
funct bugs. As the extinction Of the
species became imminent, some of the
young wits adulterated their bugs by
the addition Of spurious beetles. About
this time one of the little girls became
suddenly covered with sores Her par
ents, hearing of it, came in consterna-
ton to the mission. She belonged to the
thunder gems, and the childs bug in
come ceased Mt once. She had unwit-
tingly been carrying on a traffic in her
taboo. Alice G. Fletcher in Century.

1t has been seven years since Blue
Book was printed, and in that time there
have been many social changes. Some
have dropped out of the charmed circle,
some of the buds have developed into
matrons, while others arc still serving
rs bridesmaids. And some of the ple-
beians have acquired property or gained
culture and are knocking for admission
at society's gate. All that is needed is
official recognition. We need Blue

AN ENGLISH JAIL CHAPEL.
"A View or tho Prisoners at tho Sunday
Morning Service.

Morning Service.
After breakfast nothing much happens
until the chapel hour. Now those pris-
oners who have "gone sick" are visited
by the surgeon or his assistant, and if
the cases are urgent are sent across to the
infirmary ut once. There is no regular
cell inspection; the governor or his
deputy makes no round there is no
"taking of reports" no adjudication Of
pains and penalties for misconduct. All
this will stand over until Monday; even
those awaiting punishment, unless it is
for outrageous acts Of violence or de-
fiance, turn ont to go with their fellows
to chapel. About 8 80 the chapel bell
rings for the first service, that Of the
Roman Catholics, who in largo prisons
are usually located" or lodged in one
part Of the prison, near their own chapel.
The bell for the Church Of England serv-
ice follows at about 10 q. III.
Both Oh marching to chapel and when
seated within it,the various classes and
categories of prisoners are kept strictly
separate from each other. Males and fe-
males approach the chapel by different
roads, enter by different doors and &C.
cupy different divisions, pews or places
apart. Among the males, too, the con-
victed are kept from the unoonvicted
and the debtors from both. The women
are generally seated first, behind n
screen or within a ourtaincd off, rallied
in Enclosure. They are. of course, visi-
bic to the chaplain, but to no one else
but their own officers. Except for their
treble voices heard in responses and
hymns, their presence Mt tho service
would be unknown. Now and again,
however, an attempt to signal or com
municate has been tried by individuals
of opposite sexes; when dry cough,
persistently repeated, in the female pew
finds an answer in another part of the
chapel, it affords q shrewd suspicion
that friends are trying to use some code
made up outside before imprisonment.
One other class is unhappily to be
found at times in the Jail chapel-a
very distinct class, but seldom containing
more than one representative. This is
sometimes condemned" man in prs-
on-one on whom the extreme penalty
has been passed, and who, by the usual
custom, is allowed "three clear Sun
days" before the awful sentence is ac-
complished. A condemned convict, al
though he is never left alone, being as.
ISOLATED day and night with two war.
dens as guardians, is never permitted to
sec or be seen by other prisoners. LON

A DOUBLING THOMAS
Who Stood Upon the Ragged
Edge of Health,
Truth-He Has at Last Become a Firm
Believer.

Some people are 80 constituted that
they prefer to keep on in the same
beaten path and never to strike out for
themselves. When they are sick they
rely upon few old fashioned medi-
cines, and apparently choose TO cuff ,r
rasher than try modern remedy Of
established reputation.

Is constipation and possibly kidney
trou BILE; the complexion Is pale and
sallow and lie Is only prolonged
misery.
In such cases what is needed Is a
nerve and blood builder to bring back
the bloom Of youth to pale and sallow
people.
Mr.. Augusta Froelicher, of 900
Bleecker ST., New York city, was a
great sufferer, but>when friend recon-
mended to him the greatest remedy OF
modern times, DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, no questioned
it's afficaoy. At last this Doubling
Thomas was persuaded to try this
marvellous medicine, and the following
letter shows how he was convinced of
it's great virtues and now he has become 8
firm believer in 1t. He says. "Having
| been sick for over two years with
malaria and dyspepsia and not being
able to eat, the doctors advised me to
make q trip to France, which did, re-
turning without any better results.
my trouble has been one that caused
several physicians of renown here in
America, as also other eminent m EN- bers
| of the medical faculty in Europe to fail
after persissently attempting It's cure.
1t was pronounced o complication OF
malaria, dyspepsia and kidney weak

THAT others who have suffered as
have with terrible pains in the back,
limbs and head may be relieved from
such dreadful fortunes, and restored to
! usefulness. this testimonial Ia given to
let it be made public that DR.. Greene's
Nervurs blood and nerve remedy has
completely cured me.'
Perhaps it Is not strange that Mr..
Froelicher doubted. for the marvellous
power of DR.. Greene's Nervura, the
great blood and nerve remedy, is almost
beyond belief. A trial will convircs the
moss skeptical that this is the grandess
medicine Of modern times. It's diecov-
erer, DR.. Greene, of 35 West 14;h ST.,
New York city, is one OF the progress
sivo modest practitioners OF whom this
nineteenth century is Justly proud. He

One dark evening I was returning
home from call OH one of our English
neighbors in Taiyuenfu. When not far
from our compound, the road crossed all
open space of several acres i'll extent.
As was finding my way along by the
rather dim light of Chinese lantern 1
nearly stumbled over the body of a man
who had fallen by the way. My first
impulse was to take hold of the person
and ascertain if help was needed, but
for some reason did not, but hurried
home to get aid. Mr.. X. was still with
us and OH hearing my statement said:
eyes, know. The man is dead, and
it is fortunate that you did not attempt
to touch the body. Should we now try
to remove it or even to 60 to it we
should no doubt be seen and at once
suspicion would attach itself to us, and
none could tell the consequences. We
might cause riot before morning.
1t should be said that this suspicion
would not have been because we were
foreigners, for native under similar
circumstances would likewise have run
the risk of being charged with the muir
der. The good Samaritan would have
Jared hardly in China, or most likely
would have been suspected of doing the

the priest and the Levite would have
been accounted not hard hearted, but

Not tho Place For tho Soup.

A famous French prima donna when
acting delights in big basin of soup,
smoking hot and we'll favored with
grated cheese. On one occasion she was
engaged for few nights at Marseilles,
and her first thought ON arriving there
was to inquire where she could order her
favorite dish. She was recommended to
patronize q humble restaurant Just by
the theater, and going there gave her
order in person
At O'Clock, as arranged, mine host
called his serving maid, and placing q
gigantic tureen in her hands told her to
take it to Mime. c. on the stage. He
added that orders had been given to ,ot
her pass with her bowl, and on the
girls assurance that she would recognize
the cantCtrice sent her off with the soup
Everybody gave way before the servant
carrying the sacred meal of the star,
when suddenly between the wings she
caught sight of the prima donna, who
was singing the finale Of the first act of
Lucia"
Ravenswocd and his betrothed were
just about to begin the passionate scene
which brings down the curtain when the
maid entered and placed the 'tureen on
the messy bank i'll front of the fountain.
Then lifting up the cover and plunging
III spoon she exclaimed to the stupe-
faction of actors and audience alike
Begging your pardon for interrupt
ing you, sir, and the lady, but here's
the soup. London Tit Bits
