A Tough Bantam.

A letter in a Glasgow paper records
a phenomenon much too remarkable
to be reserved for Scottish consump-
ton. The writer says: can acQuaint-
ance of mine, who lives up north, has
among others of the feathered tribe o
little bantam cocii. a few weeks ago
he noticed that it was looking the
worse for slight difference Of opinion
with a canine friend, but did not eX-
anime it closely till his mothers and
sisters vociferations brought him in
hurry. There was the bantam pick
ing away at corn, but the corn was
dropping from q rent in the birds
chest just as fast as it was lifted. Not
wanting to kill the bird, my friend got
a needle and some horsehair and
stitched up the tear, with the result
that the bird now is as good as new"

THE DOORBEL-L.
1t Tells What Manner of Man You
Are by Your Ring.

are ny our RinEs
Doorbells are pretty fair Indicators
of character Probably YOU have not
been conscious Of it, but every time
you pull Il 10rbell you register what
manner Of man you are. Your ring will
not tell everything about you, from
the color of your eyes to your taste in
flowers, but to those who know the
signs the dOorbell is as good as title
page Any one who has had occasion
to answer bell pulls knows, how muck
difference there is in them. One per-
sons method varies little from time to
time, though the difference between
that method and somebody elsos,
while slight, will be sufficiently well
marked. 1t il seldom that two rings
are exactly alike.
The housewife recognizes each, the
impatient man, who pulls the bell
twice in quick succession and does not
wait long before trying it again; the
one Of more phlegmatic temperament,
whose ring is slower and more sub
stantial; the hesitating woman, who
draws the knob out in succession Of
nervous jerks; the seedy individual
with matches to sell, who stretche,
the wire carefully to it's full length
and then allows it to relax with a
faint, apologize tinkle, and the jolly
friend, who knows he Is welcome, and
therefore gre sps the knob with a hear
ty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature, and sets the bell to shak-
ing it's sides with such peals of ech j.
ing laughter that it positively cam, {
stop at once, but subsidies gradually
with a merry irrepressible little litter.

II was then apparent that the American
boat had made wonderful strides in the
last 70 minutes. 1t looked then like
walkover to the outer mark.
The breeze freshened bit, and the
more wind that came the better the
American boat seemed to be doing. For
the first half of the first leg she certainly
showed wonderful wndward work. She
seemed to be doing best of all shortly
after the wind had piped up to a ten
knot breeze.
Columbia's Big Lead.
The Columbia, after an exciting race,
turned the windward mark, off Short
Beach, at 14S:3O. The Shamrock turned
at 1:50:35.
The Columbia's lead over the Sham
rock was now about IL miles.
A half hundred yachts, patrol boats
and steamers saluted the Columbia as
she went round. Going to the mark the
Columbia carried all her lower sails her
No. club topsail and the baby lib top
sail. Barr did his turn in tiice, and as
she started to go around her spinnaker

All her lighter canvas was broken out in
good shipshape fashion. and about ~
miles to the rear she set out after the Co

Both boats broke out spinnakers. The
Columbia, after running for about five
miles on the homeward course, showed

The Columbia now looked like sure

own.

For aD Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines

From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard. N. CT
1t fnay be question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various prop
rIetary medicines which food the market,
yet as a preventive OF suffering we feel
it duty to say ageod word for Chamber
lain's collie, cholera and diarrhoea rem
edy- We have known aud used this
medicine in our family for twenty years
and have always found it reliable. In
many cases dose of the remedy would
save hours OF suffering while physician
is awaited. We do not believe in Deepen
ding implicitly on any medicine for a
cure, but we do believe that VI q bottle
Of Chambefiain's diarrhoea remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception Of an attck much sufferings
might be avoided and very many cases
the presence of physician would not bs
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty years.
