FAIR WORDS FOR BIG EARS.

A Kansas City judge, after studying
the features Of boy who was before
him the other day on charge Of as
saulting another boy, said:
Il ike TO see a boy with big ears, and
/ am inclined to give you a chance on
account Of your big mouth and gener-
Gus ears. A man with little ears like
a fox's or squirrels won't always do
He needs watching"
Then he gave the boy some good ad-
vice and permitted him to go.
The theory that a big nose is neces-
sary for human greatness has long been
accepted by people who are interested
in the study Of Dhysognomy; but this
Missouri judge seems to have said the
first good word for big ears. Yet It is
only necessary to look at the portraits
of the worlds great men for proof Of
the soundness Of his doctrine. Caesar
had big ears, Cromwell had big ears,
Napoleon had big ears-so big that
when young man he tried to hide
them by letting his hair hang over
tbem Washington had big ears, Lin
coin had big ears, and Grant had big
ears.
80 there is no reason why the boy
with big ears should be ashamed Of
them; yet it will not be safe for any,
one however large his ears may be, to
conclude that they alone will make him
great. We have but to study the mule
and some big-eared people that all OF
US know TO be convinced Of this.

A force Of about 600 infantry set out
for the summit OF Majuba Hill on the
night Of February 26 1881. There were
ebout $50 combatants. After leaving
some companies on the road about 400
men reached the summit. and were dis.
posed In various positions about the
rim Of the mountain. The first shots
were fired about 6 o'clock. and the
combat went on uninterruptedly for
hours. In the final stages the main
body OF the Beers crept to within forty
yards, and for a considerable tlmp

San Francisco Call.

San Francisco Call.
The schooner Vine returned to port
yesterday, after an absence Of six
months in Siberia and Japan. The
greater part of the time she was on the
Amoor river only stopping at Hako-
date on the way home to secure a car
go of sulphur.
The Vine left here in April last for
Nicolaefsh with general cargo and
had good run across the Pacific She
as detained some time on the Amoor
river discharging her cargo, and then
went to Hakodate in ballast to load
sulphur for San Francisco.
''NicOlaefsk is a pretty little harbor
something like Port Townsend" said
Captain Small yesterday. There are
about 1000 inhabitants there and an
immense country behind it. Everybody
seems to be doing well. Nearly all the
interior country is mining land and
the merchants of Nicolaefski told me
that fully 200 tons of gold dust came
down the AmOor river last season. Now.
don't say that 1 made that statement
Of my own knowledge, but the mer-
chants told me that amount Of gold
came down, and 1 have no reason to
doubt them. Siberia is fabulously rich
in minerals, and 1 don't think our
Klondike Is in it with some Of the
Russian placers.
"All the street work in. Nicolaefski is
done by convicts. There are about 500
Of them there, and they have to work
in chains. The iron goes around their
waist and then runs down the leg to
the ankle, where there is another
band. Attached 10 the band is a ball.
and this the convict has to move
around with him. By constant chat
ing the chains are as bright as burn
ished steel and the overseers see to It
that the men are kept on the move and
that the chains do not rust.
while the Vine lay at Nicolaefsh
over 1900 prisoners arrived, bound for
saghalien. They were the hardest lot
1f citizens I ever saw. Every one of
hem was a criminal, and judging by

their looks deserved the punishment TO
which they were condemned by the
Russian government. During the trip
across the continent some Of them es-
capped, but were eventually captured.
One man had cut of his right foot at
the ankle to get rid Of the chain and
ball, but was given up by the peasant
in whose hut he had taken refuge. The
peasant was his friend, but fear Of
discovery made him give the poor fell
low up to the soldiers. He was sent
over to Saghalien along with the other
prisoners.

tairs, and the climate is probably the
sevcrest in the world. There is an abun-
dance OF coal on the island have no
means Of judging, but 1 should think
Russia has about 1900 convicts there.
'At Nicolaefsk the fishing industry
is very great In the season the
AmoOr river simply swarms with fish
and salmon are caught by the million.
Why, at times it would BE- possible to
walk across the river, the fish being
packed close enough TO form a bridge.
This is no fish story, as 1 am telling
you what is an absolute fact. At times
the salmon are so packed in the river
that they can get neither one way nor
the other, and all the fishermen have to
do is to scoop them out Of the water.

OF all the specialists in the world, there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment Of women's
diseases as Dr. K. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y With
the assistance Of his staff of able physi
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands Of women DR.
Pierce Is pre-eminently a sympathetic ply
sician. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care Of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant examinations and local
treatments insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years Of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases Of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures In
the privacy Of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious "local
treatment. II imparts health strength,
