He Took the Hint.

General Harrison, in 1889, sent Dr. Bedloe of Philadelphia to Canton as consul During his term the doctor was spending a month or two in Wash ington and was largely in evidence in social and political circles. About this time the Gridiron club gave a dinner and both gentlemen were guests. The doctor told a few stories early in the evening, and later on the president made a speech.
 'T was charmed" he said in his soft, graceful way, ito hear the clever anec- dotes from our distinguished consul to T mean from Annoy" Then he passed on to other topics, but the doctor took the hint, and the next steamer carried him back to his post.
 It was not the first time that Dr. Bedloe had experience with presidents at club dinners. Once President Cleve- land was a guest at the celebrated Clover club in Philadelphia, of which the doctor is a famous wit. The Clover ites always interrupt their guests when they rise to speak. Knowing this, MT. Cleveland began:
 "Go on, gentlemen; I am prepared for the worst"
 There came an instants pause, and the doctor cackled shrilly:
 "SO are we."-Philadelphia Post.

Preserved Soap Bubbles.

If one wishes to make soap bubbles which will last several days, prepare the following mixture in room where the temperature is not lower than 65 degrees: Dissolve at a gentle heat one part of castillo soap, previously cut into thin shavings, in 40 parts of water, dis titled, if possible, and, when the solu- ton is cold, filter it.
 Having done this carefully, mix in a bottle by violent and persistent shak- ing, little at a time, two parts of glycerin with three parts of the above mentioned solution Of soap and allow it then to stand where it will not be in the way of dust. The liquid, which Is at first clear, soon becomes turbid. Aft CT few days a white precipitate will have risen to the top of the liquid, leav- ing the remainder clear. Draw off the clear portion with siphon Ca bent tube) and keep it for use. To use siphon it is necessary first to fill it and then to plunge the shorter arm into the liquid to be drawn off.
 This mixture is called glycerin liquid The film it forms is of such strength that a bubble four inches in diameter may be kept in the open air of room for three hours if supported by ring of iron or bone an inch and a half in diameter or allowed to rest on some soft woolen fabric. If placed under a glass shade, it may last as long as three days. If filled with tobacco smoke, it looks very much as if It were solid.-Boston Transcript.

The Cnnrt,a Comment.

A Georgia justice of the peace. re- Iates Case and Comment, once took upon himself to charge jury as fol- lows: "Gentlemen, this is case which has been tried by me before, and de cided in favor of the defendant" AS the jury took the hint and found for the defendant, just as the justice had done before, although the evidence was overwhelmingly in favor of the plain tiff, the higher court refused to let the verdict stand. It also commented as follows:
 "A justice of the peace is generally a man of consequence in his neighbor- hood. He writes the wills, draws the deeds and pulls the teeth of the peo- pie; also he performs divers surgical operations on the animals of his neigh bors. The justice has played his part on the busy stage of life from the time of MT. Justice Shallow down to the time of MT. Justice Higgins. Who has not seen the gaping, listening crowd assembled around his honor, the jus tice. on tiptoe to catch the words of wisdom as they fell from his venerated lips?
 "And still they gazed,
 And still the wonder grew
 That one small head
 Could carry all he knew"

1,nco,n and the Hair Re.torer.

Here is a story of President Lincoln from the late Judge Carter, who was a member of congress from Cleveland during the war and one of Mr. Lin coln's most intimate friends. It re- lates to a Quaker philanthropist from Philadelphia who did not have hair on his head, but took a great interest in public affairs and was constantly calling at. the White House in behalf of somebody or other who happened to be in trouble and took up a great deal of MT. Lincoln's time. The pres1- dent treated him with great courtesy, although his patience was frequently tried. One day when the philanthro- pist was particularly verbose and per sistent and refused to depart, although he knew that important delegations were waiting, MT. Lincoln suddenly rose, walked over to a wardrobe in the corner of the cabinet chamber and took a bottle from a shelf. Handing 1t to his visitor, he remarked:
 "Did you ever use this stuff on your headY
 'No, sir; never did"
 Well" remarked NIT. Lincoln, "l ad- wise you to try 1t, and if at first you don't succeed, keep iI up. They say it's good thing to make the hair grow. Take this bottle with you and come back in six months and tell me how 1t works"
 The astonished philanthropist cover ed his polished pate with his broad brimmed hat and left the room, while Judge Carter coming in with the next delegation, found the president over ID the corner doubled mp with laughter at the success of his strategy, and be- fore he could proceed to business the story had to be told.-Chicago Record.

THE QUAINT JAPANESE.
PeculIarities In Their Methods of
 Living and Eating.

Living and Eating
 Beauty, from a Japanese standpoint, consists in a long, oval face, regular features, almond shaped eyes, sloping slightly upward, high, narrow fore head and abundance of smooth, black hair. Their movements are graceful, although the style of their dress pre- vents them walking with ease; their feet and hands are delicately formed and their manners unQuestionably charming.
 They take little or no exercise, and one wonders sometimes how the little ladies employ their time-there seems so little to be done in a Japanese house. To begin with, there are no regular meals The shops near at hand supply daily numberless little dishes, which seem to be eaten at all hours of the day and night-a few pecks at a time-with those impossi- ble little chopsticks. Very little Is kept in the larder except some slices of daikon, fermented turnip. some rice and sweet biscuits.
 "The honorable live fish" is sold by men who carry large water tubs from house to house and cut off as much as is required from the unfortunate fish and replace the sadly mutilated but still struggling remains back in the tub.
 Eggs are cheap and plentiful. Bread is never used, so there is no necessity for an oven.
 The great stand by Is tea. A Japan csc lady Is seldom seen in her home without the quaint little tea tray by her side, and the inevitable pipe. con- taining one whiff of tobacco, which Is in constant requlsition.-Cor Cornhill Mag aZine

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they eannot.reach the diseased portion of the ear. There IS only one way to cure deafness and that is by ccnstitu- tionaI remedies Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous Things of the Eustae hian Tube. When this tube gets lnf1amed ing and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces

Balloons In a Storm.

MT. Carl D. Myers. the aeronaut, in discussing the question of aerial navi- gation, points out one great advantage of the ballon over the aeroplane. The latter cannot stop or hover in the air and if caught in a storm may become helpless.
 The balloon, on the other hand, while 1t cannot go against the wind, is safe, even in a tempest. provided no effort is made to drive it in opposition to the air currents. Even in a high wind the balloon seems to the aeronaut to be be- calmed.

SWEEPING ANTITRUST DECISION.

The Indiana supreme court has de-
cided that state has right, OH the
grounds of public policy, to annul the
charter of any corporation which enters
into combination to destroy COMPETE
ton or does anything which even re-
lakes competition. The decision was
rendered in a case III which two natural
gas companies formed an agreement to
charge uniform prices, and each agreed
to refuse to serve any consumer no
quit patronizing the other company.
The prosecuting attorney brought suit
to annul the charters Of the companies,
alleging that they were unlawfully
combined against the people and were
abusing the rights conferred upon them
by the state. The language of the
court is as follows:
1t is an old and familiar mixim that
competition is the life of trade, and what
ever act destroys competition, or even re-
lakes 1T, upon the part of those who sus-
tain relations to the public, is regarded by
the law as injurious to bubble interests,
and ia therefore deemed to be unlawful
on the grounds of public policy.
This is the broadest antitrust de.
cision that has been made by any
court. 1t does not merely affirm the
constitutionality of law specifically
directed against trusts, but it says that,
even where such laws do not exist, q
court may annul the charter of any
company which in any way prevents
or restraints competition.

AN interesting illustration of the
astonishing growth of wealth that is
going on in the United States is to be
found in a comparison of the record of
the greatest national banks, which the
American Banker prints after the pub
hcation of the bank statements called
for by the comptroller of the currency
five times year. The latest state
nents made, those of April 5, 1899,
show 12S national banks with deposits
exceeding 5 million dollars, and sixty
with deposits exceeding 10 millions.
On July IA, 1898. there were only
ninety one banks with deposits
amounting to over millions, aud
forty-one with deposits exceeding 10
millions, an increase of so per cent in
the number of the latter and of SO per
cent in the number of the former.
The twenty-five largest banks had 72s
millions in deposits July IA, 1895, and
l.0aS millions April S, 1891. A few
years ago there were only one or two
banks in New York with deposits
amounting to. as much as 40 millions,

RECEIPTS from import duties at
at Manila are greater now, under Uni
ted States rule, than they were during
the preceding six years while the Span
iards were in control, Notwithstanding
re fact that tariff rates have been great
ly reduced and the business of the city
and surrounding country has suffered
from the instruction Of Aguinaldo's
forces. The inevitable conclusion from
this is that the Spanish officials must
have pocketed large sums every month
that should have gone into the public
treasury. There were the same condi-
tons i'm Cuba and IN Porto Rico. In
all the islands the United States is
collecting more revenue than the Span
iards obtained from higher taxes than
now prevail. The average Spanish
colonial official was a thrifty indi-
