Notice to Knockers.

Ii there's any chance to boom busi-
ness, hoom it b'gosh. Don't be a
knocEer. Don't pull long face and
get sour in the stomach. Hope a bit.
Get a smile on YOU. Hold up your
head. Get hold with both hands, then
pull. Bury your hatchet, drop your
tomahawk and hide your hammer.
When a stranger drops in, "iolly"
him. Tell him this is the greatest
town on earth. Don't get mulish,
don't roast. Just Jolly" get popular.
It's dead easy Help yourself along.
Push your friends with you. Soon
you'll have whole possession. Be a
good fellow.
No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down. No
man ever got rich trying to make
people believe that he was the
only good man on earth. You cant
climb the ladder of fame by stepping
on other peoples corns. They are
their corns, not yours, and they are
tender. "You're not the only shirt in
the wash" Ii you don't like their
style, let them alone. Don't knock,
walk right in and make yourself looll
pleasant. You'll get used to it.
There is no end of fun in minding
your own business, and it makes other
people like you better. Better have
other people stuck on you than to get
stuck on yourself. Nobody gets stuck
on knocker. Drink some of Enter

CLARA BARTON.
A Story of Her Heroism Cn the
Battlefield of Fredericksburg.

AT Fredericksburg Miss Barton
took up her quarters in front of the
Lacy House, within close range of the
Confederate sharp-shooters. AS last
RS the poor fellows were shot down
she took charge of them, providing
them with every attention. When
the Massachusetts and Michigan regi-
ments crossed on the twelfth and took
possession Of the town it was evident
that a big battle was imminent, and
Miss Barton went over into the CITY
and organized the hospital corps and
established diet Kitchens. On the eve
OF her departure an incident occurred
which demonstrates the unfaltering
courage Of the woman. A young
wounded Confederate officer informed
her that his people had prepared a
death-trap for the army across the
river.
That he spoke the Truth was beliey-
ed by Miss Barton then, and was later
confirmed by General Jackson's order
to General Stuart. But she went, and
during the awful day OF the thirteenth
when the thunder of the artillery and
the crash OF musketry were roaring a.
round her; when companies were be-
ing moved down and regiments deci-
mated; when the bitches and the
hedges were filled up with the dead
and dying; when the burrows ran
ran blood, and ghastly stream
OF mangled humanity was pouring to
the rear, she moved amidst it as calm
as force OF nature, always knowing
what to do and doing the proper
thing at the right time. Even the
terrors OF that horrible night did not
weaken her dauntless courage. She
met every emergency with admirable
promptitude. Toward midnight when
every place that afforded a shelter
IRON the snow and binding, icy wind
were filled, fifty poor fellows were
brought in wounded and almost froz-
en-. Surgical aid before morning was
impossible, but she had fires lighted,

when the bricks were heated she had
them placed around them. Other e.
Emergencies she met with equal
promptitude, never pausing for sleep
or rest until the army Of wounded
rested once more in comfort north Of

A CHESS-PLAYING TOWN.
One of the Requirements of Every
Inhabitnnt of a Village
I'm Hungary.

THERE'S in Hungary a village probab-
ly unique among the worlds towns. in
that it not only encourages chess as a
pastime, but insists that the king of
games shall be played by every man,
woman and child in the place.
1t is just as necessary in this out-of-
the-world spot for the inha bitants to
be proficient chess players as it is for
them to be able to read, write and
cipher. Prizes are given to the school
children for proficiency in cheese
Problems are given to the scholars
that they are expected to take home
and work out in their spare hours in
addition to their other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for
her chess players. Indeed, this little
village has, as can be we'll understood,
turned out more than one player who
has been considered fit to rank
with such giants as Lasker, Steinitz or
Tchigorin.
Every Christmas great tournament
is held in the village, and the burgo-
master gives prizes for the best ju-
venile and adult players.

HAYTIAN HONESTY,
Uncounted Couriers Carry Loads of
Wealth Over DesOlate Mountain
Passes in Safety.

Hayti is the only country in the
world "where black rules white" AL
though the present republic is not sue
cessful because so large portion of
the citizens are lazy and uneducatad,
yet the people have many good quail
ties which, according to Mr. Hesketh
Pritchard, show themselves in unex-
pected and contradictory ways.
"One of the things that strike one
most is that Hayti is country of ex-
tremes and contrasts. Logic is always
at fault. A Haytian's honesty is like a
Haytian's mind; it is apt to surprise
you round odd corners.
"For example, hundreds of thou
sands of Haytian dollars pass annually
along the lonely track between JAG
mel and Port au Prince. The men
who bear them are low-class Haytians;
ragged, uncouth, uneducated, wild and
untutored. Yet only once have the
dollars failed to arrive. l have heard
it said that ten dollars might tempt
the Haytian's cupidity, but $4,000 awes
him into immaculate honesty.
During the last 80 years uncount-
ed couriers have made the desolate
journey over the mountain passes, each
with his load of wealth, and there is
only this one instance known of the
betrayal of trust. A fine record"

ANIMALS OF THE DESERT.
The Addax Antelope and Loder's Ga
zelle Frequent the Lands of
Thirst and Sand,

In the northern Sahara two animals
rebound which seem specially adapt
ed for life in this forbidden land.
They are the addax antelope and
Loders gazelle, says the London
Spectator. The addax is an ugly,
awkward-looking animal with spiral
horns and very widespread hoofs,
which enable it to go at great pace
over the sand. Pliny knew of its ex-
istence, and was naturally interested
in it, for as South Africa was as yet
unvisited, this was one of the few
species of antelope known to the an
clients. 1t was not rediscovered till
Ruppell found it near Dongola. AS
it is rather a large antelope, it re-
quires considerable amount of food.

self was to discover where it found
its food. 1t is now nearly certain
that the addax follows the rains
which fall at certain seasons, and
probably travels vast distances in the
wake of the seasons storms. The
immense area of desert in northern
Africa makes this possible, though

And the bOokkeeper was right.

will go to a great length to indulge it.
AT the Union club they still tell of

They used the soap at the club, and he

The same spirit of economy in small
things makes other people stuff them
selves with bread in order that no but
ter may be left on their plate and
wasted. Hundreds of men would not
dream of buying lead pencil. To save
buying stationery others write their
letters at hotels which are generous
in providing writing material. Scores
of men and women save pennies by
picking up discarded newspapers il
the elevated trains and ferryboats.
And so it goes. 1t is not so much the
actual money saved that moves people
in these little schemes; rather an in
born desire to economic in some
thing.

buyer and the matches. The book

You are stingy with your old
matches. I'll just take lot and then
I'll be independent of you"

Beans may be easily baked over night
on a gas stove if you have one of the
small ovens which can be set on top of
stove. 1t is of the largest conve-
nience, in fact, for many dishes. Set
the oven over the simmerer, turned
quite low, and at night put in the
bean pot. In the morning the beans
will be perfect for breakfast and the
amount of gas consumed will be very
little. There is one thing to be looked
after when the simmerer is turned low:
never leave it burning where draft
will strike it. The flame will be blown
out and an escape of gas will follow.-

senger

In the course of her career Nanny
Mary had met many distinguished
persons, but her own Importance as
nurse for three generations in the FAM
lily of Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
kept her from being overwhelmed by
the honor.
When Mrs. Cleveland during the
second term of her husbands presi-
dency visited the Gordons at the gov
ernor's mansion in Atlanta, she ex-
pressed a desire to a see a genuine
old negro nanny. So the carriage was
hitched up and Nanny Mary was sent
for at Switzerland. the Gordon country
place, which she preferred to the noise
and excitement of official life. When
the coachman drew up he found her
smoking her evening pipe. Not a step
would she stir.
''She done say" said the unsuccess-
full envoy, on his return to town, dat
she dom want to see no presidents;
she done see enough presidents"
Mrs. Cleveland laughed heartily
then she heard .his. Then she pro-
posed to go to the mountain, since
Mahomet refused to bulge, and the
next day she drove to Sutherland.

Mrs. Gordon, before introducing the

The Risk of BnIIooning.

Considering the risks aeronauts nee
essarily take every time they make an
ascent the science or sport or trade
(for it partakes of all three) is ex-
traordinarily free from fatal acct

Charles Green, who made over 600
trips, died at the age of 81 in 1870.
Twenty years later NJ. Eugene GODDARD,
who had made quite 1000 ascents, died
in his bed. On the other hand, among
British balloonists, Capt. Dale was
killed before he had completed 200, and
Capt. Whelan also, in 1892, met his
death in his three hundred and fif-
tenth ascent. Mr.. Percival Spencer.
