He XYnH SunRrstifious

He was a big, hearty workingman, and when a spare, thin little man en- tered the tram car, stumbled and sat upon him he said In reply to the little mans apologies:
 Don't trouble, sir; it's all right. There's no arm done"
 When we saw the big man a week later, we were shocked at the change in him. He seemed to have shrunk to half his former bulk.
 "Why, whatever's the matter?' we exclaimed.
 "You remember that little man wot sat on me in the train last week, sir?"
 "YeS"

BaIzac's Convenient Tronsers

In a little village in the heart of Touraine lives small, brown old man, says the London Onlooker. whose great pride it is that he once had the honor of making pair of trousers fer Balzac The old tailor delights to tell of his meeting with the distinguished French man.
 When l got to the chateau where Monsieur BalZac was staying, found him in the garden writing a novel. He was so busy that waited a bit Many sheets of paper covered with fine writ ing, lay around him. He would write a spell then stare wildly about, and then go at it again as if he knew that a world was waiting for his words.
 After standing near and watching him a while I had to interrupt him to get his measure for the trousers. Ion sieur Balzac was very goOd-natured He smiled while I measured him, but he spoke but once

Satisfied with His Jnh.

One of Cleveland's leading business concerns hired a new man the other day. and little later, when the superin tendent passed by, he noticed that tie new man was smoking pipe. The rule against smoking on the premises is a rigid one.
 See here, my man." cried the official ''yOu can't smoke here"
 The new man looked up and nodded and the superintendent passed along. A half hour later he was back again, and To! the new man was still enjoying his pipe.

 You did, replied the new man.

 "I did"
 See here, perhaps you don't know who I am?"

 "Well, I'm the superintendent"
 The new man looked up at the official with an expression of deep interest.

Too Much For the Cab.

| One of the wealthiest wine mer. chants in Paris and also one of it's stoutest citizens was the hero of an cpl sode which caused much laughter in the Rue Princesse.
 M. R., the corpulent man, hailed a cab, which came alongside the curb. He opened the door and, getting a pur- chase on the railing of "cabby's" seat, tried to hoist himself in.
 But his weight was too much for the vehicle, which careened over and, as the sidewalk is very narrow, crashed into a window of a printing office. NJ. R. had meanwhile collapsed on the ground, and "cabby" by a miraclS clung to his uncertain perch.
 Then followed stormy period. The printer came out and wanted to have the price of his broken window, the fat man tried to get the cabby to drive him away, and cabby refused to taLe any such load on board.
 Finally all parties adjourned to the police station. where the difficulty was straightened out, and M R. set to work looking for another cab.-Paris Temps.

Animals That Bloom.

Anemones, sponges, the sea cucum bers and certain other growths which bloom and apparently behave in all respects like plants are really animals.
 The petalssof the anemone, resem- bling those of a chrysanthemum, are really tentacles to catch food and put it into the hollow tube which forms the stomach, where it is dgested. The sea cucumber has flattened body. It occasionally moves at a snaiPs pace over the mud or sand, digging it's pet als, or arms, into the sludge for food, to obtain which it swallows a fair proportion of mud. It has power to sting and so keeps away it's enemies.
 The sea lily so exactly resembles the common lily that it is difficult to real ize that it is an animal and belongs to the starfish family. It has a stalk two feet long, with a disk for a body. The tcntacles close round the disk, which has a mouth, and completes the de- captive likeness. They are the oldest form of animal life on earth, and their fossils are called "stone lilies."
 These creatures were believed to be plants and many people still refuse to believe otherwise.

How She settIed the Question.

The question of precedence at dinner and at social functions at Washington Is a weighty one in official circles, but once upon time there was western senator whose wife thought very light ly on this subject. She was in Wash mgton for a good time. and she re- solved to have it without bothering about precedence.
 This fearless little woman gave a dinner on one occasion. and when it was time to get her guests from the drawing room into the dining room she said:
 "There Is some precedence about all this. but don't know what it is. Just shoo out to dinner, every one of you. and sit down anywhere you please"
 This stroke of western diplomacy worked perfectly.-Exchange.

How F1ngn Wear out.

It costs money. to fly even two small flags every day in the year. The two small ones on the east and west fronts of the capitol, each about three yards long. which is small for such an i'm mense structure as the capitol, fray out so fast that it costs S10O a year to re- place them. They are darned every day and on windy days probably two or three times. Even with all these economies S100 worth of fine wool floats off into tue air in such fine parti- cies that never a trace of it can be found even at the foot of the two flag staffs.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure COndi-
 tiOn of the BIOOd-HOw 1t May be Permanently Cured
From Me Mirror, Manchester, " H

Although rheumatism is one of the most painful and dangerous of the many troubles which affiict mankind. it can be permanently cured if a proper course of treatment is taken. The real cause of rheumatism is the presence of acid in the blood, and the only cure IS to purify, nourish and strengthen this vital fluid. The best specific yet discovered for this purpose is Dr. Will jams Pink Pills for Pale People, and the number Of cures they have effected in cases of this stubborn disease is wonderful. Mrs. s. D. Loveland, of No. 133 West Hancock street, Manches- ter, N. H., was cured by a severe at tack Of rheumatism by the use of this remedy, She says:
 Several years ago enc of my knees was injured by a fall About the first )f June, 1897, rheumatism set in and 1t last got so bad that could not bend my knee. It was very painful, and ] was unable to move about. l tried va riOus remedies, but not one of them re- iieved me in any way.
 ''ln the latter part of August, nearly three months after the pain and stiff ness began, a friend, Mrs. Rofhwell, of Everett, Mass, told me of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 willingly gave them trial, and experienced re lief in few days. 1 continued until had taken three boxes and was able to bend the knee and go up and down stairs without difficulty. I have since taken the pills a number of times for other troubles, and always with good results.
 "I have recommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People many times. have not learned with what effect they were taken, excepting in the case of two of my relatives and a young woman living in my family, each of whom was greatly benefited. I feel that 1 cannot say too much in favor If the pills"

 Catarrh has become such a common disease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, ill fact, complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, 1t very soon becomes so.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation Is carried to all parts of the system.
 Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis- factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. s. S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar- rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases.
