1t Cured Her.

A well-known Louisville woman was i'll,
and her physician pronounced her in a
critical condition. Among the sympathetic
neghbors was pretty widow who was
the husband and children. And it came to
pass that she began to sympathize with
them to such an extent that she spent most
Of her time at the house. When the wife
was thought to be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow walked up to the husband and said:
''Ah, how l pity you, Mr. -, and these
dear children. 1t will be awful if they are
to be reared up without mother to care
for them At this injunction the wife,
with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed
ried; l am not going to die. No, will not
die, and l can get along very well without
your assistance in the future" From that
time the woman rallied, and is now hale
and hearty.-Louisville Dispatch.

SHE SPANKED FOR THE FAMILY.
The Strangers Kind Offer Was In
diEnantly Refused.

People never get encouragement for doing
the Good Samaritan act in the interests of
the public, the man decided who offered
to assist distracted woman and amehoratc
the sutferings of lot of people on a su-
burban car.
The boy who bowls was in evidence, the
ourled darling of his only own mother and
the terror of everybody else, and he had
kept the car in state of wild excitement
and exhausted the patience of everybody, in
Guiding his doting parent.
"Oh, if your father were only here. she
had said for the fiftieth time, as she tried
vainly to restrain the bowling terror.
At that he stopped bowling long enough
to beat the air with his small shins, and the
woman on the other side of him remarked
audibly that cage was the proper place for
savages like him.
Johnny, dear" asked his mother, won't
you be good boy?"
Roars and kicks from Master Johnny.
"Oh, / wish your father were here to give
you good trouncing this very minute,' she
walled, as she struggled with him.
Then it was that the philanthropist of the
company asserted himself. He had been
trying in vain to read his morning paper ever
since he started from home.
ALLOW me, madam" he said, blandly Il
am father myself, and l will be happy to
chastise your cherub in behalf of his absent
parent
oh, no, you won't, not if 1 know it,"
said Johnny's mother, rising in her wrath
like tigress. There amt that man living
dare lay finger on that boy-his own ia,
thinks he knows it ALL" and she shut off
debate by going into the next Car and tax
ing the sweet infant with her.-Chicago

We'll, you cannot blame me. 1 have

said they had attended meeting which
you had called. but 1T was quite evident
you were not going to be able to form
the company. So they came here and
made me a cash offer for the mine.
They have deposited 6 10000 at the bank

he has got the option for himself"
YES, he has, said Won Brent. Il
may say am very sorry indeed for the
turn affairs have taken. Of course, as
1 have told you, had no idea how the
land lay. You see you had placed no
deposit with me. and had to look after
my own interests. However, the option
is open for few days more. and l will
not turn the mine over to them till the
last minute of the time has expired.
Isn't there any chance of your getting
the money before them"
Not the slightest"

help myself. l am bound by legal
document to turn the mine over to them

your option is ended. Everything is
done legally, and I am perfectly help

Yes. / see that" said John. Good

HOW 1t La Done.

"Up against it again." gloomily remarked
the man who pronounces athletic" in four
syllables.
''Hows that" asked the woman who
wears white gloves with black stitching.
Thought l had sure thing the other
day, and was thrown as usual. Was in a
bicycle store when young fellow came in
to buy cyclometer. Said his had given out
for a seasons record, and hated to begin
over again. Salesman said he could fix it.

turn. Reeled off $50 miles in no time

CHINESE DRINKS.
Queer Beverages of the Inhabitants
of the Celestial Kingdom.

There are no drunkardS in China,
neither is there an excise law. And
vet it is as easy to get intoxicated in
China as elsewhere, and perhaps easier.
for drinks are cheaper. Wines of all
kinds have been known and drunk in
the Celestial kingdom since the days
of the Chau dynasty, some 1000 years
B. c. Everybody drank the fermented
grape juice in those days. and gold
cure establishment would have coined
money had it existed.
Things went from bad to worse, I'M
til one of the emperors of the Chau
dynasty went upon protracted spree.
When he began to ''see things" he
stopped short and reformed, and de-
handed reformation on the part of his
subjects. He decreed the instant de-
struction of all wine cellars, distil-
leries and saloons. Since then wine
made of the grape has been unfashion-
able in China. and scarcely any is made
there or used.
Sherry, port and whisky have become
rather popular in China during the last
half century, but they are considered
as food, and only taken at and with
meals. Among the native beverages is
shoa-shing, a palish brown mixture.
the taste of which suggests ripe hich-
DRY nuts. 1t is served at all state BAN
quets and also at private dinners.
When cold it is cloudy; when warm it
grows clear, emitting peculiarly
pleasant odor.
hnf Oh 70 In
classes, samshul is to the masses. 1t is
made from rice and is its triple distill-
ate. Old sam-shul is very expensive
and tastes like old sherry.
Koa-ling is made from Mongoliar
millet, and bears a family resemblance
to rye whisky. 1t is drunk only in
northern China, but has large use ir
the making of liquors. OF these lat.
ter, ungka-peh or wo-shia-pi is the hes,
known. 1t is thick, oily and yellow,
and is cross between yellow Chart
reuse and Benedictine. Its taste is
sweetish and aromatic. and it has 6
great reputation as an appetizer
Other liquors made from kca-ling are
moo-qua, made of koa-ling and melon:
meukwai-loo. ying-toa and hundreds
of other drinks.
Then there is fun-chin, or raw alec
hol used for medical purposes. Fer
mented fruit juices and flower wine
made by sleeping petals or leaves. are
also common beverages. Geraniun
wine is a horrible connection, while bay
leaf wine is the equivalent of the bay
rum used by our BARRIERS. All told
there are some 1000 distinct drinks il
China, yet drunkards are almost un
known.-N. Y.Journal.

NOT ON RECORD.
No Official Mention of Queen VictO-
ria's Birth.


RMS Birth.
Curiously enough, neither the birth,
baptism, nor confirmation of Queen
Victoria is matter of official public
record. One might suppose that, filed
away in its appointed place among the
state archives, there could be found a
document formally setting forth the
birth of the child who, though not heir
presumptive to the throne at the time
of her birth, was removed from it by
only three degrees. But such is not
the case. With regard to her birth,
all that was deemed necessary was its
announcement by the state officials
whose duty it was to be personally
cognizant of the fact.
In the huge Public Record building
in Chancery lane, wherein are jealousy
guarded the muniments of ancient
landed titles and the records of royal
treaties, one may see the maryelously
well-preserved Doomsday Book, which
is the beginning of all things to the
English conveyancer; the solemn COM
pacts of cardinals, ENJOYS, ambassa-
doris, and ex-ministers; the, priceless
records of royal prerogatives side by
side with the grants wrung from unwil
ling monarchs to the growing power
of the people. There, also, are pre-
served, and with equal care, multi
tude of writings which have no other
interest, despite their antiquity, than
that which comes from the fact that
they have to do with the trivial details
of the most common incidents in the
lives of the kings and queens of Eng
land. But among them all there can be
found no official or other record of the
coming into existence of Il certain
child one Alexandria Victoria. who
was destined to become the first en-
press that ever sat upon an English
throne, to rule over a wider extent OF
country than ever before comprised the
dominion of a sovereign, to count
among her willing subjects greater
number of people and a wider diversity
of races than has ever acknowledged a
common scepter. and who has. finally
in the closing decade of the nineteenth
century, completed longer term of
continuous reign than has ever been al
loted to queen in the worlds history

There are people who tell us the distance
old Mother Earth is from the stars, count
ing miles upoy miles into millions, as the
distance from Neptune to Mars. The way
they throw figures is awful, on the size Of
the little sun spot, and how long it would
take to walk round it if it wasn't so deuced-
ly hot. They measure the depth of the
ocean, and the distance across it as well,
get the weight in the air of meteor, and
locate the right spot where they fell. But

fess that they can't get just right the miles
