A rapid and simple method of drying
bottles before filling them with pow
ders or oils, etc, is to introduce an
ounce or so of white mustard seeds and
rotate briskly. The seeds will absorb
every trace of adhering moisture and
leave the bottle perfectly dry. This
method has been used for many years
in some large Establishments.

You are a mixture of the signs Aries,
which Mars rules, and Taurus, which
Venus rules, and therefore Mars and
Venus are your ruling planets. You
are medium height or above; medium
to light complexion the eyes have a
peculiar sparkle and sharp sight and
are of medium to light color. You
are very active and energetic and quite
ambitious to push business; yet, If this
time is correct, you have no constitu-
tion that will allow you to carry out
your ambitions, and your worst all
ments will be in some way connected
with your head. You have great love
for the beautiful in art and nature;
you are possessed with great ability
to talk, write and work fine embroid-
cry and paint; you have natural abil-
ity in some of the fine arts. However,
only those that know you well will
fully appreciate you, and the first half
Of life will be uphill work, the last half
will be some better. Marriage is un-
fortunate for you.

ls0. 900 TO his rapidly growing fortuna
"Tom Sawyer was q gold mine.
"Roughing It" was as good. Life
Upon the Mississippi" and IA Tramp
Abroad" had sales that were marvellous.
The hay he made while the sun
shone amounted to $500, 600, and good
investments made him as much more.
The financial sun began to set in
1884, although "Pudd 'nhead Wilson"
and other short sketches went to prove
that he had vein other than the one
he had worked so successfully-some-
thing to make people laugh and then
think. It was then that he began to
handle actively his large means. The
prospects of tle publishing firm Of Web
ster q Co. seemed glittcring, and he
put his capital into it. He was then so
years old and was preparing to settle in
London and take life as his hard work
deserved he should twas ut the begin
ming of this plan that he was forced to
the realization Of absolute bankruptcy.
/ Mark Twain had pulled himself up
by his own boot straps, and he started
out to rebuilt his fortune. His name as
a literary man-nOt as a business man
was all hc had left. He found it was
worth money, and he signed contract
American magazine at the unprecedent
ed rate of 81, 900 per letter. He secured
other contracts, and, had he been the
same as he was 80 years ago, there was
enough in sight to wipe out his obliga-
tions made by the publishing house and
put him on his feet. He was not equal
to the opportunities
A few months ago he came back from
a trip to Africa. He is putting the ex-
periences he had into his book, and
should he live long enough to complete
the story he hopes to pay the last cent
of his Indebtedness and leave something
for his family. The struggle is really
one of most fearful contemplation, with
every indication that the poor man will
not be able to realize his last faint
hope.
IT is possible at this time TO see prophe-
cies in some of the assertions he has
made in other years He wrote in the
midst of his prosperity that 1.-THE law
recognizes no mortgage on mans
brains. Honor is harder master than
law. 1t cannot compromise for less than
100 cents Oh a dollar, and its debts
never outlaw" He once said that he
learned this philosophy when he was
living out in Florida, little town in
Missouri. The home in which he was
born was two room log cabin-"alto-
gether too mean house for SO great
man to be born in, as his mother re-
marked during her last illness. His IA
ther stuck hard fast to honor. He paid
his debts at their face value.

A "peonic with n Conntry.v

Something that strikes the attention
Of the observant stranger visiting Cam
ada for the first time is the fact that
there ia a people belonging to America
who are not only content TO live under
the protection Of a foreign power, but
virtually without n flag, and even with
out the sentiment Of patriotism. 1t is
not q new people seeking to establish
themselves in the free sun of America,
but transplanted branch Of the English
nation, sort of bastard graft, growing
with difficulty and in conflict with all
the ordinary notions Of common sense.

what has become Of the descendants Of
France will be doubly astonished, for il
is precisely among the Canadians Of the

Buried Skeletons Unearthed, Supposed To

Several days ago gang Of men was
set to work digging out cellar under
the officers clubrooms at West Point.
The excavation extended under Schofield

bled over in faint.
His companions soon revived him,
and when he told that he had dug into
a skeleton there was % rush to the spot.
A spadeful of bones lay on the surface.
The men carefully picked them up
and placed them in q box. Then they
began to dig in earnest. The place prov
ed to be veritablc graveyard. AT
O'Clock they had unearthed awagon load
of bones and skulls which must have
belonged only to men Of giant stature.

 Grabs and Lobsters.

In selecting crustaceans the inexperl' enoed housekeeper may be guided by a few easily remem bered points. Lobsters that have not been long taken will re. spond to pressure of the finger on theli eyes with a strong motion of the claws, The heaviest are the best. The cock lob ster though generally smaller, has the higher flavor, the flesh is firmer, and it's color. when boiled, is of deeper red than that of similar characteristics ID the hon. The male may be known by his narrow, rather tapering tail, aud also from the condition of the two up pern: ost fins which compose it. These in his case are hard and stiff, while those of the hen are soft, and the tall fan is much broader.
 The heaviest ore Bs are the best' ana those of a medium size sweetest. Ii light, they are watery. When in perfect condition, the joints of the legs are stiff, and the body has an agreeable smell, The eyes, too, should look bright anG firmly set. When they have a dead ap- pearanee and seem loose, the crab IS tale.-New York Post.
