LOST IN HOTELS.
Queer Things That Absentmfnded
Guests Forget to Take Away.

Queer Things That Absentminded
Guests Forget to Take Away.
Every hotel in New York has store
room for articles left behind by guests.
1t is one of the important departments
of the establishment and often earns
the gratitude of travellers whose un-
fortunate habit of forgetting leads
them to look for things that are miss
ing. In hotels a book is kept in which
are jotted down descriptions of arti-
cles forgotten. When a hotel does a
large transient business, it is frequent
ly with difficulty that lost articles are
arranged for Identification.
The integrity of servants must be
relied upon to a large extent. The
chambermaid taxes immediate posses
sion of q room upon the guests de-
parture. She picks up anything that
appears to have been left unintentiOn-
ally. A note describing the article and
giving the na;ne' of the guest, the room
number and the time Of departure is
taken to the clerk. The property is
turned over to the housekeeper and by
her to the lost department.
Said the clerk of one fashionable ho-
tel: 81 remember singular case of
man who didn't respond at once to
the hall boys call for an early train
The result was that when he did get
up he had to run. From the station
we got a call on the telephone:
Hurry to my ROOM he shouted,
and on the table you'll find very val
liable package It's my eyes. Send
them to the station
'Sure enough, we found two glass
eyes on the dressing table in plush
case One was for daily use and the
other for an emergency. Guests often
forget their false teeth, but that was
the only case I ever knew Of a man
leaving his eyes"
Rings and pins are often found on
the washstand. Valuable pins are
found everywhere, the window cur
tains being favorite depository.
Watches and revolvers bob out from
under pillows. Of course when the
owners address is known and any
thing valuable is left he is notified
and the article sent to him. If not
called for in a few months, the forgot
ten article usually becomes the per
quisite OF employees. - New York

ReuuIsed by Bees.

A striking incident of the relief of
Cawnpore was the rout Of the Ninth
lancers by a swarm of bees. A village
in the line of march was found to be
defended by a hastily improvised
stockade, on the top of which a num-
Der of hives were stuck. Into one of
these a young officer jabbed his sword,
with result that in far less time than
it takes to tell it the whole advance
guard was racing for dear life to the
rear, and Sir Hope Grant hastily
formed line of battle, believing it re-
pulsed by the mutineers in force.

The Use of English.
PHAR MACY.

Ruskin has said somewhere in the
"FOrs Clavigera" that extreme nicely
in pronunciation and the use of words
is vulgarity. There can be no doubt
Of it. At any rate, to prefer a fine
word to plain one or common one and
to say what you have to say in so
called fine style rather than in nat
ural style is a sure sign of small cul-
ture and of no taste at all. If speak
er or q writer is up to his work, he will
trust for his effects to his clearness of
thought, strength of argument, force of
imagination and power to use the Eng
lish language easily, directly and with
common sense correctness. Grammar,
diction and style are the three things
which make the difference between
good writing and bad. The grammar
Of the language must of course be adj
hered to, but adhered to not in the way
in which a servant Obeys orders by do
ing simply as he is told, but as man
who knows in himself what he has to

CAUTION!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treat ment of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing it's great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps. but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The Is cent size
has just been introduced this year.
Regular size Is cents. At all druggists.

THE DOMAIN OF DESPAIR.
that Awful Great Basin Between the
Rockies and the Sierras.


Rockies and the Sierras.
There are various kinds and degrees
of deserts in this country, but the most
utterly hopeless are found in the SO
called Great basin between the Rock
les and the Sierras. This is vast re-
gion of deserts, with here and there an
area where nature in prankish mood
seems actually to have made an effort
to produce spectacular effects OF hor-
ror. From the Wasatch mountains to
the Sierra Nevada extends a CHASTITY
stretch of territory which is intersect-
ed by a series of high mountain ranges
running parallel north and south. with
valleys between.
A birdseye view of the landscape
shows three principal ranges, two OF
which are known as the AmargOsa and
Panamint, and between these is Death
valley, so called because it is the very
abode of death.
Imagine q narrow strip of arid plain
shut in between two mighty mountain
walls. the peaks stretching up 10,Ooo
feet into a burning sky. The surface
of this plain, which is 17o feet below
sea level, is a mere crust of salt and
alkali, through which a ridden horse
breaks up to his knees into a horrid
paste than eats both hair and hide.
A gray haze that never lifts makes
everything indistinct and puzzling to
the view. No vegetation is to be seen
save very scanty sagebrush, with
leaves that are not green, but gray, and
here and there q sort Of cactus that
grows to five or six feet in height, with
extended branches. 1t is called the
dead man. because in the night each
stalk looks like a corpse by the way
| side.
But the supreme horror of the place
| is the heat, which is unspeakable.
There is breeze, but it is so scorching
hot as to blister your face. Streams
flow from springs down toward the
valley, but never reach it, because the
| heat dries them up on the way.-Satur-
| day Evening Post.

PRIMITIVE PUMPS.
The Mechanism Used I'm Ancient
Egypt and In China.

Egypt and In China.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance OF
and is generally believed to be that of
a portable pump. The hydraulic screw
is also attributed to this people, but
their main reliance seems always to
have been the shadoof, seen every
where along the banks of the Nile, an
invention so simple and so well adapt
ed to their needs that it remains today
substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is
in such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is in possession of one.
Where irrigation is conducted on lar
ger scale the chain pump is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by
very simple tread wheel, and still lar
ger ones are operated by yoking buff
falo or other animal to suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects were produced
calculated to astonish ignorant Wor-
shippers, were practiced by the priests
Of Egypt, Greece and Rome, but their
knowledge seems never to have been
turned into any channel of secular use

Rice Stumng.

Rice stuffing for roast chicken or tur-
key is considered preferable to the usu-
al breadcrumbs. To prepare it brown
one chopped onion in a tablespoonful
of butter and mix with it four cupfuls
of cold boiled rice and one cupful of
breadcrumbs that have been moistened
in one cupful of milk. Season with
sage, parsley or other sweet herbs, as
desired Add half pound of sausage
meat or finely chopped salt pork and
salt and pepper to taste.

There are experts on the eyes who
hold stoutly to the theory that troubles
in vision often cause serious lapses
from a we'll ordered life among chill
dren and that disobedience, i'll temper,
cruelty, wanton destructiveness and
mysteries are frequently due among
youngsters to alterations and to all
ments which affect the sense of sight.
Such theory may appear to be car
ried SO far as to be almost a fad, yet
there may be something in it.

IMPROVED ON NATURE.
A Point That Won q Lawsuit For
William Mckinley.

Point That Won a Lawsuit For
william Mckinley.
A year or two after William McKin-
ley had begun the practice of the law
at Canton, o., he distinguished himself
in humorous fashion in one of his
first successful cases. AS often hap
pens in court, the humor was not mere
ay for the sake of the joke, but for seri-
GUS purpose Mr. Edward t. Roe in
1.-THE Life Work of William Mckinley"
tells the story.
The case was a suit against a sur
geon, whom the plaintiff charged with
having set his leg so badly that it was
bowed. Mckinley defended the sur
geon and found himself pitted against
John McSweeney, one of the most brill
liant lawyers of the Ohio bar.
McSweeney brought his client into
court and had him expose the injured
limb to the jury. 1t was very crooked,
and the case looked bad for the sur
geon. But Mckinley had both his eyes
open, as usual, and fixed them keenly
On the other mans leg.
AS soon as the plaintiff was turned
over to him he asked that the other leg
should also be barred. The plaintiff and
McSweeney objected vigorously, but
the judge ordered it done. Then it ap-
peared that his second leg was still
more crooked than that which the sur
geOn had set.
"My client seems to have done better
by this man than nature itself did,"
said Mckinley, "and I move that the
suit be dismissed, with a recommended
ton to the plaintiff that he have the
other leg broken and then set by the
surgeon who set the first one.''

A wifty nanIx

Whenever the United States supreme
court, on hearing the argument of
counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case, the chief
justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT In error that the court does not
care TO hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff In
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing In 1t, and so
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant in error arose Chief JUS
tlce Waite said, 1.-THE court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel was little deaf and, al
though noticing that the chief justice
spoke, did not hear what he had said
and. turning to Mr.. Carpenter, who
sat beside him, asked what had been
said
"oh, hang it," replied Carpenter in
tones audible to the bench. 'The chief
justice said he would rather give you
the case than hear you talk. Youths
