modern policeman does not proclaim his

carrying a lantern He does his work more
quietly and effectively than the old-fash-
ioned town watchman
1t is thus that in all the walks of life and
in all occupations, things change and knowl-
edge and efficiency increase. In this re-
spect medical science has kept pace with
the advance in other lines Physicians and
chemists have grown rapidly more skillful.
There are medicinal preparations now-a-
days that cure diseases that were few
years ago considered absolutely incurable.
The final triumph in this respect is Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
was first given to the world thirty years
ago, and has stood the test ever since that
time. 1t cures e8 per cent. of all cases of
consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred
affections. Thousands who were hopeless
sufferers, and had been given up by the
doctors, have testified to its marvellous
merits. It is the great blood maker and
flesh builder It makes the appetite hearty
the digestion and assimilation perfect, the
liver active, the blood pure and rich with
the life-g giving elements of the food, and the
nerves strong and steady. 1t acts directly
on the lungs and air-passages, driving out
all impurities and disease germs. An hon
est dealer will not try to persuade you to
take an inferior substitute for the sake of
few pennies added profit.

Africans and Work.

All bard labor, all rough and un-
skilled labor, is, and owing to the heat
of the climate must be, done by blacks,
and in new country like Matabeleland
the blacks, though they can sometimes
be induced to till the land, are most
averse to working underground. They
are only beginning to use money, and
they do not want the things which
money buys. The wants of native liv-
ing with his tribe and cultiyating meal
les or Kaffir corn are confined to baross
(skin cloak or some pieces Of cotton.
The prospect of leaving his tribe to go
and work in a mine in order that he
may earn wages wherewith he can buy
things that he has no use for does not
at once appeal to him.
The white men, anxious to get to
work on the gold reefs, are annoyed at
what they call the stupidity and lazi-
ness of the native and usually clamor
for legislation to compel the natives to
come and work, adding, Of course, that
regular labor would be the best thing
for the natives. 80 Impressions OF South
Africa" by James Bryce.

bNcLE SAM 1ocENTs AHEAD.
Five Envelopes Out of Bunch That He
WouIdn't Redeem.

Five Envelopes Out of Bunch That Flo
WouIdn't Redeem.
a reporter went into the New York
postoffioe the other day with a bundle
of misdirected stamped envelopes in his
pocket to see If Uncle Sam would not
redeem them for cash. He found d
window in room on the second floor,
where this is the special business at
tended to. Uncle Sam s representative
looked over the lot of envelopes, handed
back five, with the cash for the others,
and said:
"You will have to take trip to Falls
City, Neb; Columbus. Ga; Newark,
N. j., and Brooklyn to get those four
redeemed, and here is one we won t re-
deem at all. You see, it is this way: 1t
does not matter where an envelope is
addressed to; the point is where it
comes from-what postoffice issued it.
A postofice can only redeem envelopes
which it has issued itself. If an en-
velope shows On the face of it that some
other Office issued it, can't give you
cash for it.
"Now look at this one. Here in the
corner is a note, After ten days return
to Mr.. Blank, Falls City, Neb. Evil
IDENTIFY the Falls City postoffice issued
that, and you will have to go there to
get it redeemed if you are fond of long
distance economy Of that sort. These
envelopes here with no Return to- note
may have been issued by some other
Office, but we have no means of know
ing it and take them on faith. Here is
one marked, Return to P. o. box 2 ,856,
New York city. We will take that for
we evidently issued lit The principle
is simple, even if its workings look
complicated. !"
The reporter reminded the clerk that
he had refused one envelope altogether.
The clerk took it up and looked at it.
1t had no Return to'' note in the cor
ner. but the name and address were
printed ON it.
"Well, you see, that comes under a
different rule" he continued. ''The
idea is to redeem envelopes which have
been misdirected by accident. This man
has spoiled this envelope to help on his
business, sending it to some correspond
ent inclosed with letter asking for a
business order likely. He expected tho
other man to use this envelope only in
writing to him and to keep him in mind
of it he printed his address on it. He
did not intend to furnish free stamps
for his business acquaintance unless he
got them back on letters to himself.
His correspondent-you in this case
either did not send him an order or sent
it in new envelope. Now you want to
get back 2 cents. The business man
spent that cents simply to boom his
business. Uncle Sam is not booming
any ones business, even to the extent
of 2 cents, except where all share alike
through general prosperity. You cannot
get that envelope redeemed anywhere. :"
The reporter thanked the clerk. After
calculating the cost Of trip to Nebras-
ka, Georgia, Newark and Brooklyn and
comparing it with the value of the four
stamped envelopes which might be re-
deemed by it he concluded it was cheap
er on the whole to drop the envelopes in
the waste paper basket. New York Sun.

Thomas Hood.

Hood S position in literature has been
affected by the circumstance that he
did two things excellently which in
the general view are incompatible, in
which case popular opinion generally
fixes on the inferior gift as representing
the writer's real capacity. He was a
"funny man" as we'll as lyric poet of
real quality and earnest aims and was
SO admirable and original in the former
and more abundant character that it
probably caused many to regard the
serious verse as merely an ambitious
bid for reputation it was not in the
writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt
less helped to strengthen this impress
sion by practically ceasing to produce
serious poetry for some 10 years of his
short life. But that this was due to a
necessity for finding ready market for
his wares is, I think, beyond doubt =

have had no piety in him to have staid
