Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form OF slavery. George
d. Williams, of Manchester, Mich.
tells how such slave was made
free. He says: s'My wife has
been so helpless for five years tn at
she could net turn over III bed
alone. After using two bottles OF
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache, backache. tainting and
dizzy spells. This miracle working
medicine is godsend TO weak,
sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents.

Saape Navel Statistics

Al deliver into statistics has discovered
the awful probability that In the year
Of grace 1893 the English-speaking peo-
pies Of the earth produced no less than
eighty novels b day throughout the
months, not excepting Sundays and
holidays. His conclusions, says Liter
ature, are not based upon his expe-
rience as a reader, but on the surer ba-
sis of expert calculation. Five new
novels a day were actually published In
Great Britain, and three per diem In
the United States-a total OF eight
daily for the new Brotherhood. And
as only one novel In ten that are WRIT
ten is published, ergo q. 200 were pro-
duced.
We are not aware that these figures
have been shown to Sir Walter Besant,
bat il they come TO his notice it ID not
impossible to hope that he may relent
somewhat In his stony attitude toward
the rapacious publisher. When he re
aiizes that the publishers In rejecting
800 novels have deprived their cot
fers OF the gold to be taken from 26.220
victims, who, at 1--WE guineas apiece,
would have melted many dollars, and
have at the same time spared the pub
lie much In the way of reading that
might have proved d trial-to say
naught OF the restriction Of the compe-
tition between the puhlished-snreIy

w. II. Fenner, Of Chicago, formerly
president of the Grant Locomotive
Company, and now prominently iden-
titled with railroad interests in the
country, does not believe In Mig ex-
positions. Chicago has not VI re-
covered from the bad effects of Is,

encouraged speculation to such an ex-
tent that the real estate market has
suffered severely, and will continue to
suffer for several years. OF course,
there were some good effects. There
was a tremendous amount Of money
brought into the city, tiding the banks
over q serious panic, and the city was
widely advertised, but it is a question
in the mnds Of the business men OF
Chicago whether the good points made
up for the bad. In my judgment, and
In the judgment of many others, the
former were more than counterbal-
aneed. l believe that st. Louis will
be sorry that she has undertaken the
great exposition for 1903. The times
are good and st. Louis Is prosperous.
She will probably suffer less from the
reaction than she might under other
circumstances, but suffer she must and
suffer she will. Enterprises OF that
kind are not wholesome. They don't

The Gall That Reused Them

Bill Jackse7, the hero,39 of Whitman
tic, says the Journal o1pthe Connectt-
cut town, has d new stsryeeof Ell Caney.
1t is about the Haelftie regulars, of
which Bill was ohhar-fhe story dates
from the night attack, Captain Clarke,
who was a fine soldier, and who SEEM
ed lever to sleep, hurried back from
the trenches to where the men of the
company slept, and cried: ITO arms!
CT up! They r coming at us!"
One or two men sprung to their feet
and a few sat up and drowsily rub
bed their eyes. The rest slept peace
fully on dreaming of home, perhaps.
We viii hope in the excitement of the
occasion the Angel Gabriel failed to
set it down against the captain.
Clarke began to swear, and to go from
man to man, kicking each in turn.
1--WE are attacked! Rally at the
trenchesFr' he shouted.
But still the weary, fagged-out men
were slow. They reused, but seemed
unable to shake off the meshes Of
slunber which clogged their brain.
"For Heavens sake, boys, wake
up!" cried the captain-and then, with
a sudden inspiration, he shouted,
Company T, play ballpl'
That settled it. The men were wide
awake in an instant, and, led by their
captain. every man dashed for the
trenches, to the relief Of the detail al
ready there, and the enemy was thrust
back-as history win tell US

Bear Is q Peroxide BIoude,

ASA~oO~
1t isn't the fault of one Of the most
respected guests of Moor Park, Los An
geles, CAL, If, as is suspected, his hair
has been s~hamelessly dyed. He is only
4 bear and could not protest. Nobody
knows how much the ambitious park
commissioners paid to add a grizzly to
the park menageries. The commits
sioners were inclined to be extrava-
CANT for once, because they had long
wanted a grizzly, and grizzlies are hard
to get. What many persons claim to
know quite definitely, however, Is that
this bear is not a grizzly. AS the story
goes, this animal was once a common
black bear, or "buzzard," a worthless,
cowardly, i~ll-esteemed scavenger that,
according to the hunter who captured
him, had not the right to live. So he
tried to get up a fight between the
bear and the dog. AS this was inter-
fered with. the hunter permitted q
aippant minded barber who claimed to
have efectual hair dyes to try his hand
at the bear. Well fortified with whis-
ky, the barber undertook to bleach"
the bear. The result was wonderful.
From a greasy black he was transform
sd to 8 reddish brown. Before the
color had been tempered with the
bears owner sold to the Los Angeles
park commissioners the only "blon-
dined' bear In the world.-New York

GROWTH OF AN INVENTIVE RACE.
In English AnalRsis of Forces That Have
Produced the Yankee.


The Inventor is the man IT the horP,
lays Engineering, an English journal.
British manufacturers do not seem to
realize, and British mechanics certain
" do not realize, that they are engaged
IN q close struggle for Industrial su.
premacy-that is, existenoe-with eight
or nine eager nations, and especially
with the sixty million people of the
United States Of America; that within
the last twenty years industrial condi-
tons have entirely changed, and that
since Britain came into direct indus
trial conflict with the States the con-
test has been in favor of our cousins.
1t Is a matter of some importance,
then, to consider whence the Yankees
derive their world-famed inventive
powers. AS in most other questions
of the kind, numerous answers have
been provided, from the Nova Scotian
theory Of pure cussedness," to be
different from old effete Europe, to
elaborate dissertations on the New
England climate. But, "Can a nation
be born in a day." Least Of all, can
a day produce a nation Of inventors
whose works supplant those OF all
other nations.
Ii we are to understand the Ameri-
can, we must examine him from the
days of the Mayfower; and we shall
find that not II but many conditions,
some of them entirely new in the his
tory Of man, have united to make him
what he is. Longfellow is probably
right when he says that the choice of
three nations was taken to provide
1.-THE seed for that sowing" which
after generations would see growing
into the great republic; but unquestion-
ably the faith the "seed" carried with
them was an excellent foundation for
a nation. Carlyle never tires of tell
ing us that 'belief makes men strong:
but n cannot help thinking that it
very much depends on what the men
believe mat least the object of be-
lief makes considerable difference in
the resulting strength. Yankee quick
ness of intellect and the Yankee in
ventive faculty had their foundation
in the creed alias "belief'' or religion
that they took with them to America.
A creed like the old Egyptian one
would have led them to build huge
temples and splendid monuments, and
all their energies would have been alb
sorbed In stone; but the Puritan creed
was strongly opposed to temples of any
kind, very much preferring superior |
and women to scenic display, SO
that the energy of the emigrants was !
free to take all kinds of useful practi-
cal shapes. America would never have |
been a formidable rival of Britain II
the whole continent had been settled
BY builders of fine churches. The Pill |
grim Fathers, well taught, shrewd and
acute men, were driven to- Boston by
heir creed, the practical leading
whereof was the right to thoroughly
;earch the Bible for themselves to form
opinions from it, and to carry but the
conclusions they arrived at. Now, that
| nation built on such a foundation
must be an Intellectually strong ma
ion hardly needs demonstration.

Mourn q Racing Hawk.

All last summer and during the early
fall the attention of passengers on the
Black Diamond express was called to
a hawk which every day few along by
the train rushing through Lehigh val
Icy on Its approach to Mauch Chunk.
The train crew said the bird was rae
ing, and bets were always pending on
which would reach a certain point
first. The hawk never won, but re-
newed the contest daily, and. as
though acknowledging defeat, would
mount into the air and swirl round for
the backward flight. One day, a few
weeks ago, it few on with the train,
as usual, when suddenly it was seen
to halt and culver, then fall. It was
found o on afterward shot through the
head by some wanton huntsman. All
the train hands mourn this bird as
though 1t were a personal loss.

In Manila they make your chocolate
while you wait. Right into the house
I Chinaman comes with his basket and
rolls the crushed cacao bean and sugar,
and then makes a supply Of chocolate
that Is sweeter and more pa1atable and
cheaper than the commercial brand
soid In the Chicago stores. When the
and shirt, and, stripped to the waist
and b~arefooted, he begins his work. In
the basket Is the chocolate or cocao
bean, from which the rancid oil has
been extracted and which oil long ago
has anointed the hair of some Filipino
belle or lighted some Filipino home.
The beans first come on the board Bit
ter and brackish. With a rolling pin
the Chinaman grinds them into a fine
powder. This takes time. When it is
done, he opens another basket and dips
out the sugar for the s~weetening and
the final mixture. The sugar is what
would probably grade coffee &C" If it
were in commercial circles. Like the
bean, it grows on the island. 1ndustri-
ously the Chinaman rubs, and gradu-
ally the chocolate forms on the bottom
Of the board and drips off in sticky
sweetness into the basket beneath. The
family gathers about to sample the
product and the Chinaman stops to
smoke a cigarette while judgment Is
being passed. Cups of the beverage
are handed around and all taste" If
1t Ia not sweet enough the manufactur-
er throws more sugar on his board and
drops In another pinch Of vanilla and
cinnamon for the fayoring. When it
Is right" he goes to work, and for sew
eral hours rubs away at his task. The
deposit below the rolling pin Is a
brown substance that is soft and moist,
while above 1t. is to all appearances a
dry powder and sugar. The little ones
gather about, and If there is an older
daughter, perhaps she sits down on
the floor in front of the Chinaman and
watches the growing pile. Such was
the case in the house of a Spaniard
today when I called. The young lady
sat there and idly watched the manu-
facturer Of the edible, and when a lit
tie brother came she took his head in
lap and he lay there with her,
watching the brown-skinned Chinaman

ingredients. It was insisted that /
