A Fiendish Attack.

An attack was lately made on q. f.
Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. 1t came through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could not
stoop without great pain, nor sit in chair
except propped by cushions. No remedy
helped him until he tried Electric Btters
which affected such a wonderful change
that he writes he feels like new man.

To Establish Colonial Army.

army.
The Lokal Anzeiger, reviving the re-
port that the German government in
tends to establish a colonial army Of
volunteers, declares that Count Won
Waldersee has been consulted and
that the project will be carried out
soon. .
Should the reichstag, as is expected,
make the necessary appropriation.
the colonial army will be formed of
volunteers of the reserve and land
wehr, who may settle in the colonies
on the expiration of their term of
service.
It is probable that Count Won Wal
dersee will receive the chief COM
mand.

Marketing.

The ladies of a Mexican household
never concern themselves with the mar
keting, invariably leaving that duty to
the servants. The latter visit the large
markets early each morning, where
such provisions as are required for the
day are purchased. The butcher, In
cutting up his meat, never uses knife
or saw, but relies entirely upon his
cleaver, with which he sewers a shin
bone or slices off tenderloin with equal
facility. Moreover, he never wraps his
wares in paper. but deposits them side
by side with the other edibles in the
customers basket.
A Mexican meal is always served In
courses, always including two kinds Of
soup and several varieties Of meat, sci
dom more than one vegetable and never
but one sert. Bread is placed on the
table In tie loaf. and is broken instead
Of sliced, while butter Is noticeable
through its absence, being used only in
the preparation of the meal. Knives
and forks are rarely employed, except
ing by the upper classes, the food being
conveyed to the mouth by means of thir
bits of corn cake, known as tortillas
So adroit are the people in this quaint
custom that 1t seldom happens theil
fingers come in direct contact with thell
victuals.

The way They do IN london

A big man, whose dress and complex

the Second avenue curb between Thir-

looked at the store windows. There was

out of the way, but he had never been

QUEER OLD BOTTLES.
A New York Wine Merchants Unique
Collection.

A New York Wine Merchants Unique
Collection.
There Is ar old wine merchant in
New York who has a curious collection
Of old bottles.
One which he believes to be the old
est bottle used for holding liquor in this
country came from Nassau, In the Ba-
hamas, originally filed with snuff. 1t
Is made Of coarse, sea-weed colored
glass, and is shaped somewhat like a
chestnut standing upright on its broad
end. There Is broad-bottomed bottle
which held Madeira in Charleston in
1910, and a Vlennese bottle l25 years
old, whose slender, graceful curves
have been supplanted to-day by a more
commercial shape. The first American
gin bottle, from the Schuchardt estate,
has pouter-pIgeon shape, which is de-
hghtful to the eye.
Among the later bottles are some
which constituted the product Of the
bottlemaker's art when impressed glass
came into use. On each side figures are
nodded into the glaSSS. There are a
number of railroad bottles" On one a
wagon running on rails and drawn by Q
horse is depicted on both sides, with
the motto, Success to the Railroad
On another the same primitive arrange
ments are shown commemorating th'
railroad at Lowell, and on the reverse
Of the bottle spread eagle embedded
in thirteen stars.
George Washington figures on one
bottle upon the reverse Of which wai

Seeking for Pearls.

The history OF pearl seeking has
about 1t so much Of the glamour Of ro-
nance and possible gain that the diff
culties and risks of the quest are we'll
nigh forgotten Men love pursuit
that entails much danger and much
knowledge of men and elements. Long
before the Roman conquest men were
hazarding the dangers Of newly-discov-
cred rivers in search Of the elusive
gems. and one Of the prime reasons for
undertaking the expedition into Great
Britain was to obtain the fair con
gealed dewdrops pierced By sunbeams"
which poets and philosophers In all
ages have made the emblems Of purity
and worth and which the Roman wom-
en- so much coveted. There Is scarcely
sacred literature In existence in
which pearls do not bear reverent
meaning. and no nation where place
and favor have not been bought by the
beautiful, iustrous products Of the sea.

her proper sphere In society. But the
