CINDERELLA GONGS.
A New Device for Warming the Young
Men That They Are Expected
to Go Home at 1880.

The Philadelphia matron is respon-
sible for new fad, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer This is the Cinderella
gong. All persons who are calling at
the house are supposed to say Good
night" when the Cinderella rings
If hostess is giving party the gong
is not rung until midnight, but every
one is expected to leave when it sounds
1t is not a gentle in TINA ton; it is really
sweet-voiced demand.
Many maiden has put very pretty
gong at the side of her fireplace in
drawing-room or sitting-room, and
when the clock points to 10: 80 p. m. she
playfully steps there and rings it.
This Cinderella gong is very new, but
it had it's counterpart several years
ago. The charming mother of popu-
lar young woman arranged little
clock in a wide velvet stand. The velvet
and white and the black lettering
showed out strong in it's paraphrasing
of the wesl-known lines from "The
Mikado:"
From one little maid take the boys away,
At ten o'clock, the old folks say"
If caller didn't notice the lettering
when he first came in he would be pref
ty sure to do so when the alarm went
off at ten o'clock

The Kidney Complexion

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think thew need a medi
clue or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their COM
plexion and they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues Of this great discovery,
Swamp Root, by sending your address to
DR.. kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y for
a sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free
by mail. When writing kindly mention
that you read this liberal offer in THE
WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN.

TOWN THAT CURES BADNESS.
Those Who Go Away and Lose Their
Hair Return and Get
1t Back.

eff I had money" said Norristown
man, according to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, I'D exploit the little village Of
Waretown, on Barnegat bay. Ware
town is not wonderful on account of its
excellent fishing and cunning, but on
account of its power of curing bald
ness. Call me. if you will, liar, but
the fact remains that not a bald-head-
ed man is to be found within five miles
of Waretown, and any bald stranger
who goes there to live and just gets
out bareheaded as often as possible, on
the bay and in the black grass mead
ows, begins to thatch up right away,
and i'll year has crop that isn't a
thing but smooth! When | was down
last, in '95, | met man named Henry
Camburn-you know they're all Cam
burns pretty much down there. Well,
Henry, though an old man. had a head
of thick. soft brown hair like boys,
and he said it was his third crop.
Twice had he lived away from Ware
town and got bald, but he came back
each time, and so did his hair. l believe
that the pure, strong winds, that smell
of pines and the sea cause this thing,
and if l had money I would get to-
gether a colony of baldheads, take
them down to Waretown, keep them
out all Cay, and every day fishing in
the summer, ducking in the winter
without any hats, and in year [ would
discharge them cured. [ could easily
charOe them 81 600 head Any man
if he had it, would pay that"

A PERSEVERANCE TEST.
The Western Unions Way of Dealing
with Female Applicants for
Employment.

Many girls are employed at the West
ern Union Telegraph company's main
office in filing dispatches and other
work requiring no great skill. Now,
although they get only the current
wages of worksers in such employ
ments, there are always many appli-
cants for every vacancy. In view of
this fact the company has adopted an
interesting method of dealing with ap-
plications. Every girl applying is ques-
toned as to her age, education and res
idence. Furthermore, her height is
taken. The facts as to the applicant
are then filed for future reference, and
she is advised in case she is really anx-
ious for a place to return at the end of
four months should she not hear from
the company before that time. The
reasons for this advice is that the list
Of applications is destroyed every four
months, says the New York Sun.
Many applicants never come Sec
ond time; some, however. come a Sec
ond a third or even fourth time, and,
although the officers of the company
hold out no special hope to any appli-
can't they do say that here. as else
where, perseverance often succeeds.
The requirement that the applicant
shall appear in person each time is an
ingenious means of wedding out those
applicants that lack the perseverance,
which. other things being equal. is like
ly to make girl more useful to the
company than a girl with less OF that
oualitv

HUSTLING TIMES.
People Who Keep Lookout After
Those Gone Before Are
Kept Busy.

Few persons probably realize how
much business is transacted in connec-
ton with those who have ceased to do
business and have gone to their final
rest. 1t would seem the proper thing
that Nirvana should come with death,
so far as business with the dead person
is concerned. But it is OF so, and never
has been. Yet in these modern times
of competition and the evolving of
schemes to make money, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer death sets in motion
machinery of business that awaits the
visit of the pale rider to give it impetus.
The records of the probate court are
tire source of information for the agents
of various enterprises. The solicitors
OF bond companies, ready to become
surety for executors, administrators,
guardians and trustees, watch those
records. Employees of legal advertis-
ing mediums pour over them to get the
names OF attorneys, appointees of the
court, and seek them to solicit the adj
vertising that must be done under the
law But strangest of all to seek that
source of information is the maker of
grave stones. Yes, an agent is at work
in that direction, and it is related that
he gets considerable business He
makes note of the attorney and admin
istrator, the names of the widow or be-
reaved husband or children, and in due
time seeks them and solicits their trade.
With his catalogue of his business he
shows what can be furnished to perpet-
uate the memory of the loved one who
has paid the debt of nature.

Shop-Worn Socks.

The. National Advertiser tells a story
Of an old bachelor who bought pair of
socks and found attached to one of
them a slip of paper with these words
II am young lady of 20 and would
like to correspond with a bachelor,
with view to matrimony." Name and
address were given. The bachelor
wrote and in few days got this letter:
Mamma was married 20 years ago.
The merchant you bought those socks
from evidently did not advertise or he
would have sold them long ago. Mann
ma handed me your letter and said
possibly I might suit you. am 10 years
old"

MeneIek's AInusem emit.

The latest news of Emperor Menelek,
says the Manchester Guardian, touches
his interest in surgical operations. In
the hospital at Adds Abeba attached
to the Russian mission, he is continual
ly watching the surgeons at their work.
Their skill often calls from him express
sions of admiration. His great desire
is to act the part of an assistant-for
example. to hold the limb when an am
putation is being performed. He never
misses an operation.

CAME OFF HIS PERCH.
Rooster DOdged Missiles. But a Won.
an with Broom Brought
Him Down.

A rooster belonging to a College
street man got out the other evening
and flew about the yard, dexterously
eluding every attempt to catch him till
the owner gave it up, and left him to
his fate Next morning the rooster
was perched high in tree, apparently
stiff and stark. The owner was con-
science-stricken ST ought to have
gone out after dark and got him. He
froze to death last night and l am to
blame. 1 have got to get pole and
knock him out of that tree. l shall be
arrested for cruelty" he said to his
wife. So he went out, armed with a
couple of sticks of wood says the Lew
iston (Me.) Journal
These he threw at the frozen rooster
for an hour without success, and a
about, suggesting ways to get the bird
down. One went and got a revolver
and shot away at it for some time, but
the bird still sat there, immova BILE, it's
head canted a little, and it's eyes look
ing bleary. "You internal copper! Do
you expect to knock frozen bird out
of tree with revolver? The bullets
would go right through it, and not
bulge it,"
After half an hour of these vain at
tempts the wife of one of the neigh
bors came out with a long-handled
broom. and. waving it, said "Sh-sh-sh-
sh-sh." Up flew the rooster, Growing
loudly, and lit upon the ell of the
house, and finally. after victorious
crow, settled down into the barn door,
and ran in among the hens.

WANTED LIFE INSURANCE,
A Chfna1naan's Queer Notion of the
Benefits TO De Derived from
Policy.

A New Orleans lawyer told the
Times-Democrat this yarn:
81 had Chinese client who went
home on visit, leaving his laundry in
charge of his brother. When he re-
turned he was promptly ordered off the
premises. His brother had coolly ap-
propriated the business and swore he
would kill him unless he made himself
scarce. The dispossessed gentleman
called on me the next day, and, after
hearing his story, advised him to get
out warrant Immediately, but he
shook his head at the suggestion, and
said in pigeon English that he wanted
to have his life insured for $4,000. I
was astonished What on earth put
that into your head p l asked so they
mallee allie time some watch he re-
piled. After great deal of cross-ques-
tioning | got at his scheme He had in
some manner conceived the idea that
insurance companies did everything
possible to prolong the lives of their
policy holders, and it followed quite
naturally that if they had $4,000 at
stake they would take particular pains
to see that he wasn't hurried into the
hereafter by his wicked brother In
other words they would 'makee some
WATCH and, being frugal gentlman, it
struck him as a cheap way of securing
a body guard. He was greatly disap-
pointed when | explained that the
companies let their clients take their
own chances, and it evidently i'm
pressed him as most nbusinesslike.
He went away, and at last accounts the
wicked brother was still holding the
fort"
