They Took The Hint.

A we'll known clergyman, while
preaching some time ago in strange
church, was much annoyed by persons
talking and giggling. He paused, look
ed sternly at the disturbers, and said:
"I am always afraid to reprove those
who misbehave in church. In the
early part Of my ministry once made
great mistake. AS I was preaching
young man who sat before me was
constantly laughing, talking and max
ing uncouth grimaces. I stopped and
administered severe rebuke. After
the close of the service one of the
church officials approached me, and
said: Sir, you made great mistake.
That young man you reproved is an
idiot Since then I have always been
afraid to reprove those who misbehave
themselves in church lest [ should re-
peat that mistake and reprove another
idiot" Duringthe rest of the service
there was good order.

A Poor Worker.

No man or woman can work we'll,
mentally or physically. nor perform
effective service Of any kind who is
burdened with torpid liver. Con-
stipation and deficient secretion Of
bile have clogged up the organs of the
body so that they cannot keep up the
energy to the proper standard, hence,
WEAKNESS, headaches, depression,
fckle appetite result. All this can be
changed with few doses of Prickly
Ash Bitters. 1t cleanses the system
thoroughly, hushes the excretory
canals, drives out impurities, imparts
new life to the vital organs and re-
establishes healthy functional activi-
ty, which brings with it energy,
strength, vigor Of body and brain and
cheerful spirits. Sold by Evans Phar-

Six-year-old Tommie was sent by
his eldest sister to the corner grocery
to buy pound Of lump sugar. He
played allies on his way to the store,
and by the time he arrived there he
had forgotten what kind Of sugar he
was sent for. So he took home pound
of the granulated article. His sister
sent him back to the store to get lump
sugar. After the proprietor Of the
grocery shop had made the change for
the little lad, he engaged Tommy in
conversation.
"Tommie," said he, IT understand

ily."

"Well, how do you like that, hey?"
inquired the groceryman.
"Don't like it at all, !" said Tommie.
"Rather have little sister.
''Then why don't you change him,
Tommie?"
"Well, we would if we could, but I
don't suppose we can. You see, We

An Apt Illustsa sation.

There are few editors, indeed, who have not the names of scores, aud scores, and scores of persons on their subscription lists who have re- 2ceived and read their papers from one to ten years without paying one red cent for the same. Statements and modest requests for payment sent them two or three times every year are thrown aside without ao- tice or response. Now, suppose the thing were changed, and each of these persons were furnishing the editor regularly . dozen eggs, a chicken or a pound of butter each month through the year. How { many of them would be willing to
 continue 10 do so two, three, five Sor ten years without any payment f him? Not one. Yet it is just sas unreasonable for them to receive and Appropriate the product of bis labor without payment as 1t would 'be for him to receive and use theirs in like payment without payment.- Hot Springs News.

The death of Gen. Caiixto Garcia at Washington Sunday removes one of the brightest stars in the great galaxy of Cuban soldiers and heroes. Of the great Cuban generals, Maceo, Rivera, Garcia apd Gomez, only the latter now remains. It is pity that the great Cuban general, Garcia, after seeing the Spaniards driven out of his country, against whom he had spent his entire life fighting, should have died before the complete inde- peudence of his country was achieved. In the death Of Gaecia the Cubans have sustained the loss of brave champion, q safe coun- sellor and a conservative leader

North Carolina in 1886 had 80 cotton mills, running 199, 433 spindles. This year it has 1,010 cotton mills, which turn 1,044, 385 spindles. Georgia bas shown a marked increase in her plants for making cotton cloths. Texas, Miss issippi, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina have all made good starts in the establishment of cot ton mills.

WOMAN's HEARTLEss SIDE.

Touching birds and flowers. and all
things that combine innocence with
beauty, women are supposed to be more
sentimental, more tender hearted, than
men. But at bottom are they? Wo
men are conceded a greater compassion,
a deeper truer mercy, and finer inner
ent gentIeness than men. But is it SO?
Beneath this gentle outward demeanor
and seeming tenderness is there con-
cealed the treachery of the purring kit
ten? Is the marked difference between
the rough coarseness of men and the
tender refinement of women but an out
ward seeming and not a reality? or is it
but that woman is an enigma and ever
nOCent bird-life of the world is rapidly
being sacrificed to the fashion-demand
of its women. Many beautiful species
are already practically extinct The
plumage birds of the interior of South
America and of Africa have nearly all
fallen prey to the vanity of civilized
women, and the more common birds of
all countries are growing more scarce.
Women of every degree, everywhere,
by the hundreds of thousands, carry
upon their heads victims of bird life.
Millions of baby seals, along with their
solicitous mothers, have been slain for
civilized women, until the seal has
about disappeared. But woman's cruel
ty in fashion does not stop with limo
cent birds and helpless seals, but reach
es other innocent life.
A bill has been introduced in the New
York Legislature providing that wild
birds shall not be killed, caught or pos
sessed, living or dead, in that state
The bill is Audubonistic, intending to
stop the slaughter of birds to provide
decorations for women's hats. 1t pro-
vides that no person shall expose for
sale, have in possession for wear or any
other purpose, the wings, feathers or
plumage Of any bird. The bill does not
protect the hawk, English sparrow.
lIinfisher or other destructive birds, and
is careful to exempt from its provisions
the wearing or having in possession
those owned and used before the enact
ment of the law. The destruction OF
the American birds has been wanton
Their protection is deserving of COM
mendation. 1t is a cruelty that wo-
man dictates by her devotion to fash
ion. There are even greater cruelties
practiced in her behalf. There are i'm
ported from France annually about
twenty-five million pairs of gloves made
from a kind Of kid ;hat is particularly
modish. a certain care is necessary to
attain this, and it is hard to conceive of
greater cruelty. The wee goats are
sewed in a cover at birth TO keep the
delicate skin in perfect condition. The
kid grows, but its cover remains the
same. The result is untold torture, but
the pitiable bleats Of the pain-racked
victim falls on deaf ears so far as
arousing any sympathy is concerned.
Thousands of these little animals suffer

those names on the tickets which the
majority so CONSIDERABLY deposit in the
ballot boxes, 'gainst. the day the result
must be officially announced. Candi-
dates for office may put UP money and
have something to say as to an early or
late convention. But their influence
ends there. Their responsibility reach
es no farther than harmless ''put-up"
and a suggestion. The bosses do the
rest. They assume all other response
bilities of the candidates, and Of the
people who are permitted to automatl-
cally do the voting. There are excep-
tons to all rules, but the exceptions are
few to the rule of the bosses. Two men
in Chicago, a year ago, ran for mem
berships ir +'le ci Y council, unindorsed
by the bosses, and in opposition to the
ring machine, with the avowed pur-
pose of putting a stop TO the Doodle
rule so rampant in that city. They
were, to the surprise Of the bosses,
elected. They have both resigned s.
ing as a reason that the people do not
appreciate the efforts OF honest men.
They doubtless expected that the ut
terance of this truth would prove sur
prise. OF course it did not, not even to
the men who voted for them. A boss
ruled people are rendered uncomfort-
able by exposures of official corruption.
It is an annoying circumstance. They
would rather put up for the shortage
Of malfeasance and crookedness than
to have their boss ridden consciences
disturbed. New York prefers enduring
Tammany robbery than Lexow Doodle
fascos. Exposures following investiga~
tons are humiliating. 1t is said that
the people are firing OF bOss-domi
nancy. This may be true, but politi-
clans and office-seeEers don't believe
il. The indications pointing in that di
rection are deceiving. The chances are
that the suggestion comes from the
bosses themselves, or rather the de-
mand is another boss-b blind, is put pO-
litical sand for the eyes of those who
prefer blindness to clear insight with
it's consequent responsibility, and these
constitute the majority. Bossism will
only cease when a majority of the peo-
pie comprehend what it means, and in
comprehending desire It's relegation.

LITTLE ABOUT BossIsM.

While the seekers for Office probably
do not outnumber the voters. il cannot
be denied that the bosses are more
than the entire party. The people can.
and do, occasionally, turn down candi-
dates for place, but this is ottener the
work of the bosses. Every ambitious
seeker for position should be ready, Of
course, TO declare his willingness TO de-
vote his exceptionally fine talents and
his extra energies TO the promotion of
the interests OF the dear people. and n
frequently announce the fact in 2 per-
functory way. 1t sounds nice and is in
measure gratifying as an assurance.
But if he depends on the people to elect
him he viii get the Perch=ron laugh.
and also that Of the bosses Who place
