railroad man:
III. NJ. Hoxie. general manager of the

n good fellow by his friends In Texas
and elsewhere. A slight deformity
caused him to limp, and the brakemen
on the road, with the quick adeptness
which railroad men possess In giving
nicknames. promptly dubbed him "Old
Flatwheel."
One day Mr.. Hoxie sat In his office
when typical Texas "brakie" stalked
In and stood with his hat on In the
middle of the floor.
II want job" said he.
After little talking Mr.. Hoxie sug-
gested that his manner was unbecom-

him a practical lesson In how to ask
for a position.
"You take my seat" he said, "and I'll
show you how you ought to act"
The brakeman took the general man
ayers chair and Mr.. Hoxie stepped out
into the hall. After giving respect
full knock he came In and stood uncov-
cred before his temporary superior.
"Wellp said that worthy.

There Is an Irish clergyman of our
acquaintance who has deseryedly a
considerable local reputation as a wit
and story teller He sees everything
from the humorous side. His appear

mirth provoking. especially his laugh.
The present writer heard him speak
lately of his sexton, who appears to be
an original. A lady, stranger to the
place, asked him IL there were daily

he replied. 1--WE can't afford that, but

FRIGHTENED HIS WIFE.
Forty Cents Almost the Cause of a

Forty Cents Almost the Cause of a
Catastrophe.
Before Mrs. Bromley was married
she scoffed at the misguided girls and
women who kept personal accounts.
Her argument was that If you know
how much money you had and 1t was
all gone what was the use of pillng on
the anguish by having your folly and
extravaganza In black and white to
stare you In the face, especially as you
had no more money at the end of the
month than you had without an ac-
count book?
But since she has been running a
house she has achieved not one but
nearly q dozen account books. There
is one devoted to the grocery man, an
other to the butcher, personal accounts
take third, and so on till she spends
nearly all her glad young life balanc-
ing sums. 1t Is matter of pride with
her that they shall come out even, and
so there was woe last month when 40
cents refused to be accounted for. She
and Mr.. Bromley had grave and
lengthy discussion over the missing 40.
Each accused the other of friyoling the
sum away and neglecting to enter 1t on
the proper book, "Sundries." Mr..
Browley insisted strenuously he was
not guilty. Mrs. Bromley looked pain
ed and urged him to confess. He left
for down town vowing vengeance. 1t
was late that afternoon when Mrs.
BROMLEY was entertaining a roomful of
arstocratic callers that telegraph boy
appeared. The maid brought In the
fatal yellow envelope. and at once the
bride knew her husband had been IA
tally Injured and was sending for her.
Some one revived her with smelling
salts, lady in purple velvet famed
her with a hastily snatched lamp
shade, and a third visitor with more
presence of mind than the rest opened
the telegram. The message read:
Honest, now, what did you do with
that 40 sY'-Chicago News.

Revenues OF the Riviera.

A writer In French paper says that
every year there are 100000 foreigners
who pass from fortnight to whole
winter ON the Riviera. Every person
Is supposed to expend on an average
thousand francs, or 5000, In the coun-
try. In other words, the foreign Wis
itors spend In the country every winter
the sum of $54,000000. This Is enor-
nous. The English are put down as
contributing one-thlrd of this amount,
the French themselves contribute an
other third; Germans, Belgians, Dutch,
and Russians do the rest. Nothing is
said about the Americans. Perhaps
they are Jumped up with the English.
From being quite poor country when
1t was annexed by France, Nice has
become one of the richest departments.

MlNGLlNG OF THE RACES.

Alliances Between Different Peoples
Are Helpful to the Whole.
Man Is an animal and Darwin has
shown that not only Is he closely akin
to other animals, but that the laws
which control the development of the
lower animals also control the develop
ment of man. He has also shown that
cross breeds of animals are larger and
stronger than either parent. When we
examine Into the origin of the English
people we find the ancient Britons
fighting and mlngling with the Romans,
and subsequently with the Picts, Scots
Danes, Saxons and Normans. For more
than 1000 years these various breeds
of men have crossed and recrossed I'M
til they have been nodded into that
homogeneous mass that we know as
Englishmen.
Turning to the United States, we find
the foundations of a new nation laid
by the sturdlest and most enterprlsing
of these same Englishmen. They land
ed on the then distant shore, conquered
the wilderness, organized new gov
eminent closely akin to the old and in
vlted the people of all the world to join
them. The Slavs, the Germans and
the Latins mingle together and in few
years become NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., or
what may be more properly termed An
glo-Americans The evolution going on
In the United States is also going on In
Canada, In south Africa, in Australia,
In New Zealand and In other small
places scattered around the world.
There Is thus being formed, on gl-
gantic scale, new race of men, built
on the strongest line on which it is pos
sible to construct human beings. The
different sections of this new race have
a common language and literature, the
same laws and customs, and the trend

An amusing scene was witnessed one
day on one of the mail boats running
from Calais to Dover. The sea was
rather rough. A young woman, pretty
and nicely dressed, appeared to be sud-
denly taken very Ill with seasiclxness.
She groaned and screamed In apparent
agony for some little time.
AT length person who appeared to
be a stranger to her approached and
asked whether she would like to take
a lozenge, which he guaranteed would
ease her pain. He had often tried it,
he said, on people and always with the
most marvellous results. The young
lady demurred a little at first, but
finally accepted the offer Never was
cure so instantaneous. Hardly had she
swallowed the lozenge than the fair
patient was sitting up all smiles and
ordering ham sandwiches of the stew
ard.
Some passengers were so struck
with the incident that they inquired
what was the remedy that had had
such a wonderful result, and the gen.
tleman, who. as he said, was the agent
for the sale of the lOzenges, disposed
of considerable number of boxes of
them at 10 francs apiece. What was
the surprise of the purchasers when
they saw the young lady and her pre-
server go off arm in arm on the vessel
reaching Doverl The boxes contained

THE HAIR BRUSH
Breeds Dandruff, Which Causes Failing
Hair and Finally Badness

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, Euro
pean authority on skin diseases, says that
dandrntf is as contagious as any other
malevolent disease, and that one common
source OF the spread of dandruff is the use
OF the same hair brush by different per-
sons. The way to avoid catching dandruff
or any other disease from anothers brush,
IS to insist on the use of Newbro's Herpi-
eide: 1t not only kills the dandruff germ,
but it is also an antiseptic that will prevent
the catching of any disease whatever
through contagion c. another's brush.
