Eyes; 1t would be a queer place." was
the answer. "if the product was like
that of nearly all cooper shops. But
there was never n barrel made in the
place. and probably not n of the 10
men who work there could head a bar
rel, to say nothing of making one. This
cooperage does business only with big
wholesale houses"
There are several similar shops in the
district. They make q business of
strapping cases of merchandise after
they have been packed. The large
concerns have the cases put in the
street after they have been packed. and
then the cooper is sent for to nail the
wooden straps around them. He re-
ceiveS about % cents an hour for his
labor and from 10 to % cents a pair
for the straps. The shops are the
storehouses for the hoop poles, and
there the men split and shave the hick-
Dry saplings which finally become the
case straps. There are some houses in
the district where the porter does this
work. but the large concerns turn it
over to the coopers who never make a
barrel.-New York Tribune.

There is an anccdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrating
an experience of Mile. Clarion, the
great tragic actress. with a pupil of
hers, a girl of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art. but far too frequent
and too eNuherant i'll her gesticulation.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public in Il recitation Mile.
Clairoa bound the girls arms to her
side by a stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms, only to be restrained by the
thread. A dozen times i'll the course of
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand it no
longer. and in the climax of her emo
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head.
When She came off the stage, she
went humbly to where Mile. Clarion
was standing in the wings and apollo
gized for having snapped the thread.
"But you did quite right" said the
teacher. ''That was the time to make
the gesture. not acknowledgements Mat.

Father Time, Old Clock,

1.-THE transmitting clock at the Naval
observatory, Washington, is the abso-
lutte monarch of American timekeep-
ers," writes Evander McIver Sweet in
The Ladies' Home Journal. Every day
In h year except Sunday by one pe.-
dulum stroke it speaks directly and in
simultaneously to every city and consid-
cradle town between the peaks of the
Rockies and the pines of Maine, saying
to them that on the se%venty-fifth merid-
ian 1t is now high noon to the fraction
of a second. \ duplicate mechanism
stationed at the branch naval observa-
tory on Mare Island performs a similar
service for the people of the Pacific
slope. And by this one clock Mt the ma
tional capital. together with its dupli-
cate OH the Pacific. is set nearly every
timepiece in the United States and Gu
ba. most of those in Mexico and many
on the border of Canada.
"A number of clocks-from 3 n 5000
in nearly every city and large town
are wired together into a local family
and by means of a switch key at the
telegraph Office are put into direct con-
tact with the parent clock at the ma
tional capital. SO that the instant the
electric touch is given from Washington

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of nndigestad food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nerv-
Gus and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need to give a few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac.

Hotel. and Trained Nurses.

Trained nurses are not welcome
guests in New York hotels, and in fact
in many they are expressly forbidden
to appear in the dining rooms in their
uniforms. The hotel keepers object to
their presence in their working dresses
because any indication of the existence
of disease in a hotel is disadvanta-
geous. Under these circumstances they
are compelled to go through as much
preliminary labor before they go to
meals as If they had been invited under
formal circumstances. Yet the wisdom
of the rule on the part of the hotel pro-
prietors is admitted. as in some Of the
large hotels up town occupied chiefly
by families there are frequently 10 or
~ trained nurses employed. The sight
Of SO many would not be r%eassuring to
guests.-New York Sun.

the 1--WE men sitting next. The fifth
man-we will say his name was Brown
opened the pot for So. Jones didn't
have the shadow of n thing in his
hands, but he raised Brown $40, i'll
tending to stand pat and bluff it out.
Brown had three aces, and he came
back at Jones with $40 better.
"Now, instead of laying down, MS a
wise man should in a case like that,
Jones determined to see it through. He
knew, of course, that it would be use
less to try to bluff, so he drew three
cards to a king and queen of spades.
Brown had drawn two cards to his
aces and had got a small pair. AS a
bait he led off the betting with SIS.
Jones hadn't looked at his hand until
Brown bet, and when he picked up his
cards he almost fell dead. He had
drawn an ace. jack and ten of spades,
making a royal flush. They raised each
other back and forth until one or the
other had all his money in, and when
the hands We're shown the game broke

a great deal of thought and time to

NO MAN Is STRONGER
Than HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was a
strong mar with a weak stomach. What
is called "weak stomach" is in general a
diseased condition of the stomach aud
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion Of
the food which is taken into the stom-
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assimilated in part it
only nourishes the body in part, and so
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ Of the
body dependent on the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per-
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
"Weak" heart, lungs, kidneys and weak.
ness of other organs is cured with the
cure of the weak stomach.
Mr.. Thomas A. Swarts, Box 1903, Sub station
c., Columbus. Ohio, writes: III was taken very
sick with severe headache, then cramps In the
stomach, and food would not digest, then kidney
and liver trouble, and my back got weak so I

come so poorly I could only walk in the house

than ever, and the poor father was

The Island as n Winter Resort.
During the past month Governor AL
len has made two excursions into the
interior of four days each. The first
was in the western end OF the island
and the second in the south. The
main object of these trips is to inspect
recently completed road work and to in
vestigate the conditions of the country
people.
Speaking to a reporter for the San
Juan News on his return from his last
trip. the governor said: II found the
roads in excellent condition. The
bridges are rapidly nearing compile
ton. These bridges will be subject to
the severest tests before they are ac-
cepted by the government. l find the
general condition of the country to be
excellent. There is n large amount of
tobacco being raised. and l think this
years crop will exceed any Of the past.

The governor speaks in the most
glowing terms of the islands future

can capital as soon as the crop outlook
is made known. writes the San Juan
correspondent of the New York Post.
The sale of this years sugar will, he
believes. demonstrate that there is no
