A Dog Purse Snatcher.

Pointer dogs can always be trained to
steal. Many of them are natural thieves
without training, and any of the species
can BIO taught. There is Il dog of this
kind i'll northwest Washington. He will
pick up anything he can find around a
yard OF outsideof a store, but his spe-
cialty is ladies' pocketbooks and hand
bags. When te sees one of these, he
grabs it andfIns, always succeeding in
getting outof sight before he can be
captured fr followed. No owner has
ever beeIf seen. hence no complaints
have beeH made at police headquarters,
but thcre1is but little doubt, if it were
possible Ito follow the animal, that it
would bf found that he has been care
fully trained as a purse snatcher and
that he takos his booty home to his
master. Hb seems to be aware that he is
doing wron& jumping fences and dodg-
ing around houses when running away.

THERE is NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Not Even tho Labor Day Act Creates One,
Say the Lawyers.

Not Even tho Labor Day Act Creates Ono,
Say the Lawyers.
There would seem to be no such thing
in this country as a national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apart by act of congress
in 1894 in such manner as to lead the
confiding layman to suppose it at least
to be a national holiday, is not such
outside of the District of ColuNbia un-
less by state enactment. The creation
and regulation OF holidays have been
left entirely to the Legislatures of the
individual states.
The act Of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June %, 1894. 1t pro-
vides THAT the first Monday of Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cele-
brated and known as Labor day, is
hereby made q legal holiday, to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. 80, May 80
and July 4 are now made by law public
holidays"
Clearly the proper construction Of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named. The act MAX
ing holidays of Jan. 1, July 4, Christ
mas and "any day appointed or recon-
mended by the president of the United
States as a day of public fast or thanks
g1vi1s was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its effect to the Dis
trict of Columbia. These days are holi-
days i'll the various states only as they
are made SO by the various state legis-
latures.
The act of Jan. 81, 1879, makes Feb.
22 a legal holiday, and the act of Aug.
81, 1888, does the same for May 80,
aid both are restricted in their applica-
ton to the District of Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District of Columbia, but it
does say that the first Monday Of SEN
TENDER shall be q legal holiday, 'to all
intents and purposes, i'll tho same man
ner as Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. %, May
80 and July 4 are now made by law
public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and the name in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District Of Columbia, and SO, by
necessary inference, is the act referring
to Labor day.
The misleading language of the Labor
day act has led to a prevalent statement
that the first Monday of September is a
holiday throughout the United States
by congressional enactment.-New York
Tribune.

FRANKS OF SCOTTISH FAIRIES.
A Firm Eelief In the "Fair Folk" Still
LinCers.

A Firm Eelief In the "Fair Folk" Still
Lingers.
There still fingers Il widespread belief
in the north Of Scotland that the "fair
folk, "gweed neebors, " as the fairies
are called, still live in the hills, and
during the first days of convalescence a
mother must be %zealously guarded lest
one of the "wee people" como and rob
the child of its nourishment. Some
times they succeed i'll carrying off the
mother. Here is one of the superstitious
legends:
A north country fisher had u fine
child. One evening % beggar woman
entered the hut and went up to the
cradle to gaze into tho eyes of the babe.
From that time good health left it, and
a strange look came into its face, and
the mother was troubled. An old man
begging for food passed that way. When
he caught sight of tho child. he cried
That's a a BARN. It's an image,
and the gweed folk has stoun his
spcerit."
Thereupon he set tt work to recall
the fishers BARN. A peat fire was heaped
high Oh tho hearth and q black hen held
over it at such q distance that it was
singed and not killed. After some strug-
CLING the hen escaped up the lum. A
few moments elapsed, and then the par
ents were gladdened by the sight of n
happy expression once moro on the
child's face. 1t throve from that day
forward.-Scottish Review.

THEY MUST BE CHANGED.

That great interest is taken In the
ession OF amending the election lava
&bidenced by the number OF bills
to that end which have already
been introduced in one house or the
other Of the Virginia legislature. The
people of the State. OF all political par
ties, are looking for the necessary
changes to be made, but what the Dem.
ocratic majority will finally do is not
yet apparent. That majority has the
power to give the voters of Virginia free
and fair elections, and unless this is
done there will be n h such an up.
rising as was lately witnessed in Mary.
land and Kentucky, with the result that
the State will go Republican. when
much more sweeping changes may be
made than are now demanded.
The people are honest, of course, but
1t is not to the interest OF certain
cliques and combinations now controll-
ing politics in this State for q full and
fatr expression to be had at the polls;
hence there will be objections. no doubt,
insome quarters, to any material change
in the election law, these combinations
hoping thereby to protect their per-
sonal interests and promote their in
dividual ambitions. They will, how
ever. find too late that they have only
fastened their own downfall in not ass-
ing fairly with the voters OF the State.
The Richmond Times in commenting
on the election laws and the objections
to certain features, Rivessshe following
sanmsry OF the-ueed1a|th Changes, which
aeefas to HAstfhe case very we'll:
$50 far as amendments to the election
law are concerned, those imperatively
needed are the abolition of the special
constable-.he official ballots to have
emb!sms denoting the candidates Of
each ~party-!he official ballot to be
posted at the polls, where all men can
see and study it-and the voter should
have the right to carry q friendinto the
booth with him, and to show his balloI
to any one of the judges, who should
be required to tell him whether he had
marked his ballot correctly or not.
With these amendments and the cleo
tionB under tho control of the county
courts, we should hear little complaint
aapf our elections.
Awe most devoutly pray that the
ncccratic members of the legislature
may seeSshati 1t is their duty, as it is to
the interest of the party. to so amend
our election laws as to end complaint of
our cleo lions. We are destined to have
great deal of trouble if they do not"

THE OLDEST OselIsK.
Tt stands on the Banks OF tho Nile Not
Far From Cairo.

C6F FROM OaiEOs
The Oldest Of all the obelisks is the
beautiful one Of rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields on
the banks Of the Nile not far from
Cairo. 1t is the gravestone of a great
city which has vanished and left only
this relic behind. That city was Beth
shemes of Scripture. the famous On,
which is memorable to all Bible readers
as the residence Of the priest of On,
Potipherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called it
Heliopolis, the city of the sun, because
there tho worship of the SUI had its
chief center and its most sacred shrine.
1t was the seat Of the most ancient uni
Versity Ill the world, to which youthful
students came from all parts of the
world to learn the occult wisdom which
the priests Of On alone could teach.
Thales, Scion, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
and Plato all studied there; perhaps
Moses too. 1t was also the birthplace of
the sacred literature Of Egypt, where
were written on papyrus leaves the orig
inal chapter of the oldest book in the
world, generally known as ''Tho Book
OF the Dead" giving n most striking
account Of the conflicts and triumphs of
the life after death, a whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wished to have buried with
him in his coffin, and portions of which
are found inscribed on every mummy
case and Oh the walls of every tomb. In
front Of Il of the principal temples of
the sun i'll this magnificent city stood,
along with a companion long since de-
stroyed, the solitary obelisk which we
now behold Oh the spot. 1t alone has
survived the wreck of all the glory Of
the place. 1t was constructed by User
tesen I, who is supposed to have reigned
2SO0 B. c., and has outlived all the dy-
nastic changes of the land and still
stands where it originally stood nearly
al centuries ago. What appears of its
shaft above ground is G9 feet in height,
but its base is buried in the mud of the
Nile, and year after year the %inundation
of the river deposits its film of soil
around its foot and buries it still deeper
in its sacred grave. Pail Mall Gazette.

The Bermuda at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The steamer
Bermuda, which left jacksonville, Fla.
on April 81 with the alleged intention of
landing a cargo of ammunition and a
body of men on the shores of Cuba, ar
rived in this port yesterday with a cargo
of fruit. In spite of the experiences the
vessel is said 10 have met with she presents
trim appearance. All on board main
tain the utmost secrecy, and the most per
sistent questioning fails to disclose any of
the alleged filibustering movements of the
steamer. The admitted reason for this
reticence is that arrests may follow, as in
the past. From what could be gathered,
however, it is most probable that the Bor-
muda did carry an expedition, and that it
was also necessary TO throw some of the
cargo of arms and ammunition overheard

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
| New Remedy which win DO 1t.

A New Remedy Which win DO 1t.
Chronic Dyspepsia is considered by many
people to be nearly if not quite incurabe
| No good reason can be given why they think
so except that perhaps they have tried vari
Gus remedies without much, if any benefit
But the progress in every branch of medi
cine has been such that among other things a
lasting cure for indigestion in its chronic
form as well as temporary has been discov
cred and is now placed before the public
strictly on its merits as n permanent cure
for all stomach troubles or difficulties with
the digestive organs.
This new treatment is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in tablet
form so as to be easily taken and also to
preserve its good qualities for an indefinite
length of time
This remedy has produced surprising eff
fects in the worst forms of indigestion, and
in many cases where ordinary remedies
failed to give even relief, Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets have fully cured.
The splended results from using this prep
aration are owing to the fact that it is a pre-
pared and intended for Dyspepsia and stom-
ach troubles only.
1t is not a cure-all like so many advertised
remedies, claiming to cure everything under
the sun, but it is claimed that it is a certain
cure for Dyspepsia and anyone suffering from
any form of indigestion cannot fail to get
permanent relief and cure from its use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients are of
such nature that when the tablets are taken
into the stomach they digest the food no
matter whether the stomach is in good
working order or not.
You get sustence and strength to mind and
body by reason of the food being properly
digested and at the same time the much
abused stomach is allowed to rest and re-
cuperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits to be
derived this preparation is very reasonable
in price, costing but so cents per package at
druggists. Send to Stuart Co., Marshall
Mich, for little book on stomach diseases or
ask your druggist for it,
