Hia Intimate Friends.

Father Darcy. an Irish wit. was once
invited by a man who was known as
an ignorant braggart to visit new
and beautiful house which the person.
who had become wealthy suddenly.
had bought. With more than his usual
pomposity the host dragged the priest
over the place and expatiated on the
excellence Of everything that he own
ed. Finally they reached the immense
library. where there were thousands of
volumes. all splendid in binding. The
host sank into one of the great leather
covered chairs with a sigh of content
ment and exclaimed:
But. after all. father. what is all
this luxury compared with my favor
ites here? The other rooms maybe give
pleasure to my wife and daughters.
but this is my place-right here among
these books. which are my friends
And these here on the desk"-pointing
20 a score of fine voiumes-"arp what
l may call my most intimate friends"
Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them. when broad grin spread
over his good natured face.
"Well. it's glad am to see that you
never cut your intimate friends?' be
exclaimed.

DOG A DETECTIVE.
Animal Belonging to the Police at
Shanghai Gave Valuable Aid.

There has just died in the central
police station in Shanghai perhaps one
Of the most faithful and intelligent
animals of the dumb creation, and one
which was truly regarded by the
Shanghai police as the "policemen's
dog" mute but sagacious compan-
ion, whose death has been regretted
by the whole force Niger at his
death was 25 years old, eleven of
which he had served in the Shanghai
police force. His record In the SER
vice shows that he has actually been
partments of the police, and had been
the means of effecting the arrest Of
many notorious criminals Niger, re-
marks the China Gazette, was a per-
Bonality in the force, petted as much
by the superintendent as he was by
constables, both European and native.
He was moreover, part and parcel OF
them, for he visited them on their
usual beats, was patted and with
gentle tail wag travelled onward to
meet the next officer. The dog, too,
became a general favorite, because he
used to remain out on might duty"
and never considered that his patrol
was up till the morning round was
finished. When he was on night duty
he used to enter the station at 3
o'clock to get his coffee. After that
Niger would trot out again and con-
tinue his round till morning. An in
Bpector Of the police force, speaking
of the death Of the dog, states that he
was as good as detective, and that
ON many occasions Niger had been
the means of arresting lawbreakers
in cases where the police had failed.
Several notable instances are re-
corded. 1t is well known that Niger
secured the arrest of criminal who
escaped from the Hong-Kew police
station. The convict was in for a
term of years, and his escape from the
station was apparently unperceived
until Niger took up the chase. The
dog pursued the man for two miles,
the while biting him on the heels. Tne
runaway dropped and the police came
upon him. One of the most remark
able instances of canine fidelity per-
haps in modern times was this: About
three months ago two European po-
lice officers were going up the Nam
king road at about midnight. Niger,
who had been with them was missed.
A few minutes afterward the animal
made its temperance, when it began
paving at the legs Of its master. Ser
geant Madsen, who knew then there
was something wrong. Both officers
proceeded to ascertain post, piloted by
Niger, who at once put his front
paws against the door of house and
returned to scratch his master. The
dog again went to the door and actual
ly by his front paws burst 1t open, and
then it was that the officers discover
ed a criminal who was on private pro-
perty for the supposed purpose of
committing felony and who was SUBJ
Bequently convicted and sentenced to
three months hard labor
These are among the many acts
which made Nigger's name famous in
Shanghai, not only among the mem
bers of the police force. but among
hany private residents who knew him
by his reputation. The Shanghai po-
lice force is inconsolable. The funeral
was attended by six constables and a
vergeant-Pall Mall Gazette.

the growing crops and ruin their pro-
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which 10 necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead Of being strong
and hardy, drags out sickly existence.
When the stomach Is diseased, and the
other organs of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss Of nutrition by the body. The stom-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements OF
vitality. What is known as "weak"
heart or "weak" lungs, oweak" nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by vweak" stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by diseased
condition OF the stomach are cured
through the stomach. Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,
lungs, liver and other organs. 1t In
creases the activity of the blood-making
glands, 80 that the whole body is nour-
ished by an abundant supply of pure
blood, rich in the bright red corpuscles
of health.
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery" and it contains neither
opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic.
1t is strictly temperance medicine.
Persons suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All correspondence

THE ANGLER FISH.
His Mammoth Mouth Snaps on What.
ever Touches the Projecting Fin.

Most remarkable of strange fishes
is the angler-fsh, whose very name
seems paradox. The fishing fish,
nevertheless, is reality, and stern
one to all who approach those awful
Jaws of his. With body the color of
mud he genrally lies in the shadow of
some rock on the bottom Of the sea,
waiting motionless for the approach
of his prey. He is provided with an
odd kind of fin just over the mouth,
and this Is held out in front of him to
rive warning of the coming of some
thing to be swallowed. One taken
alive was experimental on, and 1t
was found that If this projecting fin
was touched with a stick, even though
the stick did not come near the
mouth, the Jaws closed convulsively.
This shows that the fin by some pro.
vision of nature closes the jaw as
soon as it Is touched. The mouth Is
tremendous, growing to the width Of
foot when the whole fish Is only
three feet long. One of these anglers
was caught not long since, and though
1t was only twenty-five inches long, a
fish fiften inches long was found stick
ing in it's throat. The angler is pro-
vided with peculiar teeth set In dou-
BILE or treble rows along the jaws and
at the entrance of the throat. Some
of these teeth are foot long. He is
not pretty fish to look at, but he
attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether 1t Is meant for
food or not. All kinds Of things have
been found In the stomachs of anglers,
from bits of lead and stone to fish al
most as large as the angler itself
This is without doubt one of the most
peculiar and interesting fish in the
whole ocean.-N. Y. Sun.

AUTOMOBILE PALACE.
Magnificent Car for Long Trips Upon
Pleasant ByWays.


Railroad palace cars are a familiar
sight to the public, but car of like
proportions, and something similar In
appearance and design that will speed
along the country roads from 20 to 35
miles an hour is the latest creation
Of Yankee skill and Yankee ingenuity.
Mr.. s. G. Coombs, Of Philadelphia,
Is the inventor in that line Of automo-
biles.
The car has a four.wheeled truck
under each end set short distance
back from the ends, thereby bring
Ing the weight of the car as near the
engine as practicable in a car 65 feet
long. The wheels are four feet high,
each truck Is constructed with heav.'
springs and fifth wheel, like a heavy
circus wagon. Each wheel Is fitted
with the heaviest and best solid rub
ber tire that can be produced, which
will relieve the wheel and axle from
heavy Jar when in rapid motion. The
four-wheel truck at each end gives
the car great stability, because II one
wheel drops in hole or crevasse the
companion wheel on the same side
will maintain the balance of the car
md also distribute the weight over a
larger surface on the ground. giving
the car better foothold, as it were,
On soft roads or climbing hills.
Mr.. Coombs's manner of communi-
eating power to the wheels from the
motor is where his engineering quail.
ties show themselves. The wheels
NIL work Independently Of each other,
the same as any automobile, yet they
are all operated by means Of two
heavy cables direct from the motor,
The car has steering arrangement
Mt each end-both ends Of the car are
Mike. The car runs either way, and
around short curves and in turns the
rear wheels follow in the same track
us the front wheels, and the car is
guided either way by the same steer.
Ing arrangement, the car having a
pilot at each end. The car positively
will not upset on any road
There are two staterooms In the
car, furnished with closets and baths.
The bath tubs are let down in this
space, and are even with the under
ride of the floor, section Of the floor
being constructed to cover 1t. The
buffers pantry is fitted with every
modern culinary device. Some of the
space Of the car is divided off with
partitions like folding blinds, making
1t possible to throw two or three
rooms into one. The car is pointed at
either end to minimize atmosphere
resistance. The car cannot upset, for
1t can be seen that material and bag
gage carried is near the ground, like
ballast in the bottom of ship.
II represented this undertaking to
MIR. Roswell P. Flower IL years ago."
said Mr.. Coombs, while resided at
Watertown, but the idea was too ad.
vanced then.-Cin. Enquirer.

Our Several Postal Schedules.

It is pointed out that at the present
time the United States and Territor-

flicted with five separate and differert
postal schedules. These are Cd y

our own for letters, but with higher
rate for fourth-class matter; (3) the
Hawaiian system, the Hawaiian rates
within the islands and foreign rates
with the United States; (4) the Gu
ban system, with modification OF the
old Spanish system in the interior and
foreign rates between the island and
the United States; (5) the Philippine
system, within the islands as the
Spanish left it, but with domestic let.
ter, newspaper and parcel rates be-
tween the archipelago and the United
States. There are great many peo-

business men, who would urgently

various systems in some way-Tha
