DEADBEATS IN ALL CLIMES.
Wall Signs Prepared for Their Es-
pecial Benefit All the
World over.

Two New Workers, sitting at a
round table in combination barroom
and restaurant, eating hot roast beef
sandwiches and drinking beer, had
their attention called to sign over
the bar which read: "In God we
trust; all others cash" "That sign
smacks too much of sacrilege," SAID
one. TITS witty, perhaps, but
don't like it. A sign that one sees in
many English ale houses conveys the
same hint to those who desire credit,
and yet does not drag in the sacred
name. This sign ] speak of is often
accompanied by the picture of a
faithful watchdog lying dead on the
ground, and the legend reads:
"'Old Trust is dead; bad pay killed
him.
"The difference between the two
signs" replied his companion, "it
seems to me, is the national differ
ence between British humor and Yam
kee wit. When / was in Europe last
vacation I often saw a sign in the
wine shops there which l never saw
anywhere else until few days ago
spied it decorating the wall of a lit
tie Italian drinking shop on the
lower East side. 1t reads:
Tomorrow we give credit, but
not to-day"
"The dead beat seems to be the es-
pecial product of no particular ma
tion," said the first speaker. "By the
way, Bill, can you lend me half?
don't like to hang up the house,
Never do it, indeed. Matter of prn-
ciple with me. Thank you. Return
it next time we meet, of course"

HUNDRED-DoLLAR MISTAKE.
Unreasonable Resentment That Carne

"The average bookkeeper does not
like to be told that he has made a
mistake in counting out cash." said
one of the craft the other day, re-
ports the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, land have known of INSTANCES
where quick resentment followed
such an act. | recall one instance
where the resentment was not only
unreasonable, but it might have been
Improbable in small way under
different circumstances. / had occa-
sion to go to the bank after some
money, and the paying teller counted
me out wad of money. L kept up
with the count pretty well, but, on
counting the money again after
reaching the office, / found that the
teller had made a mistake of 500.
/ went back to the bank to inform
him of the fact and to straighten the
matter out. Say, old fellow | said.
you made mistake of 500 in that
money you gave me-
TOO late now,' he replied; you
ought to have counted your money
in the bank. I guess you lost it on
the way to the Office and kept on
about his business.
81 walked out of the bank. Just as
was closing my Office for the even
ing l noticed a gentleman hanging
around the front door. Say, old
man. he said as | walked out to the
door, I'm 500 shy at the bank
"'Short in your accounts, eh?' I
replied, indifferently.
He was very much worried over
the matter, and l knew exactly how
he felt about it. After playing with
him for awhile l walked back into
the Office, got the 500 and gave it to
him, and he was the happiest fellow
l ever saw for a few seconds"

If there are now few or none of the
all-conquering "belles" and "toasts"
of olden days, says the London Mail,
it is equally certain that the plain
woman has become an extinct species
in society. The health craze makes
for beauty, as it enjoins exercise, early
hours, fresh air and temperance in
eating and drinking. The plain wom-
an, dowdily dressed, has been left be-

New York, July 17.-Early know

the emphatic recovery in prices of

permeated the market, was crystalized
by sale of 200 shares of Northern Pa

from the market and there has not
been even nominal quotation for it.
The temperance of the stock was i'm

pauses in the movement, but no not

orders came in successive installments

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and TO avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

An English physician who is an en-
inent authority, writes in thrilling
terms in regard to the danger of using
cocaine. At first pain is deadened.
The things that troubled -. you seem
swept out Of your life: You have a
sense of self-satisfaction, Of buoy
ancy, OF ease and pleasure,
In the normal man or wo-
Iial there is often at first no
reaction, although in this, as in every
nerve poison, the effects differ accord
ing to individual temperament. But
the pleasure passes off very quickly,
even more quickly than with opium.
and the victim is almost invariably
driven to renew the injection. In many
cases from twelve to twenty doss~
are before long taken in a single day.
This is no figure Of speech, but a
plain statement of an observed and I'M
danlable fact. The cocaine fiend does
not become violent or brutal On the
contrary, he seems more gentle and
more refined than ever before His
artistic perceptions are in every way
qutckened. But though he has hither-
to been scrupulously honest, he will
now often steal without shame. He
often seems to forget the meaning OF
truth. 1t is yet moot point with

CROWN OF THE CONTINENT.
Height OF Land Shedding Water in All
Directions.

Height OF Land Shedding Water in All
Directions.
George Bird Grinnell describes in
the Century what he calls the Crown
of the Continent of North America:
Far away in northwestern Montana,
hidden from view by clustering noun
tain-peaks, lies an unmapped corner
the Crown Of the Continent. The
water from the crusted snowdrift
which caps the peak of lofty noun
tain there trickles into tiny rills,
which hurry along north, south, east
and west, and growing into rivers, at
last pour their currents into three
seas. From this mountain-peak the
Pacific and the Arctic oceans and the
Gulf of Mexico receive each its tribute.
No words can describe the grandeur
and majesty Of these mountains, and
even photographs seem hopelessly to
dwarf and belittle the most impressive
peaks. The fact that it is altogether
unknown, the beauty of it's scenery,
its varied and unusual fauna, and the
opportunities it offers for mountain
climbing, give the region wonderful
attraction for the lover of nature. Be-
yond the head Of the lower lakes wag-
ons cannot SO, and the traveller who
wishes to reach the heads of any of
the streams must leave his wagon and
start into the mountain with pack
train. This means that all his posses
sions-his food, his bedding, and all
his camp furniture-must be dashed on
the backs of horses and mules, and
SO carried through the dense forests
, and up the steep mountain sides. This
is a pleasant mode of travelling,
though it is slow and entails much
more labor than travelling in wagon.
1t has, however, the great advantage
that it makes one independent. With
pack train the explorer can go al
most where he pleases. Neither dense
brush, Understanding timber, nor steep
hills furrowed by great ravines can
stop him; wherever a man can ride,
pack-horse can follow

TIME IN CENTRAL AFRICA.

Hours OF the Day Counted from Sun
- rise to Sunset. 49,. Al.
Miss Allen, Of Uganda, Central Afri-
ca, writes letter from that far-off
mission station, which explains the
system of keeping time among the ma
tiyes, and, incidentally, throws new
light on the Jewish system during the
period Of Christ's cruciixion. ! Among
other things she says: t'The people
here constantly come and ask lis what
o'clock it is. They have no clocks or
watches themselves and can only Judge
of the hour by the look of the sun. /
always have to calculate before I can
answer, because they count their hours
just as the Jews did when our Lord
was on earth. Seven o'clock in the
morning they call one o'clock, and so
on through the day, so that six in the
evening is twelve O'Clock to them. They
count the hours Of the day from sun
rise to sunset. You remember, in the
account of the Crucifixion, the writer's
land from the sixth to the ninth hour,
that is, from twelve to three. The
people here understand this saying
perfectly. The native clergyman here
has cheap American clock, which
was given him by Miss Taylor, and he
sends his boy with it nearly every
morning for us to set right, as it goes
very badly. At first could not make
out why at eight in the morning this
clock pointed to two. RAMS Horn
