queer Method Of Restriction.

The queerest contribution on rec.
ord 10 the treasury departments CON
science fund was received this week.
1t is an old-fashioned watch with q
gold-fiied case and Swiss movement.
With it was this note: Such as |

fund and Mr.. Shaw does not know
whether he has the authority to sell
it and turn in the proceeds. That
question is being looked up by the

Hot Shot for Statesmen.

When Chaplain Russell of the Mis-.
souri, house prays he wants the mem
bers to give attention. His prayers
being sent up especially for them, he
thinks it unseemly for them not to
listen. Having observed that the
members did ret attend to what he
said, Rev. Mr.. Russell waited the
following petition to the throne of
grace a few mornings ago; 80 Lord.
| ask that these in this house who
rise 90 their feet for prayer may not
continue to read their papers while
the chaplain prays Grant that they
may have some respect for God If
they have not for the chaplain"

An Electric Farm.


The most wonderful farm in the
world is situated in Canada It's pc
culiarity lies In the fact that every
thing Is worked by electricity. Two
waterfalls within the bounds of the
farm, some co feet and $50 feet high,
furnish the mOtiye mower central
power house being erected near, and
the curroat IS transmitted by wires
TO every available place on the farm.
The churns and other necessary i'm
plements have electric motor attach

works the moving machine and an
other works log saw, while the

A SURE THING.

It is said that nothing is sure ex-
cept death and taxes, but that is
not altogether true. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption Is a
sure cure for all lung and throat
troubles. Thousands can testify to
that. Mrs, c. B. VanMetre Of Shep-
herdtown, ". Va, says 81 had a
severe case of Bronchitis and for a
year tried everything I heard Of,
but got no relief. One bottle Of DR..

THE Galveston News correspond
ents are fostering the idea that Grow
er Cleveland is practically in the
hands of his friends and would not
saw no. should the nomination be
offered him. In fact, the Cleveland
boom Is being persistently pushed
bv his friends. Meanwhile the
William R. Hearst boom is as
persistently pushing itself, and the
German boom still gives spasmodic
indications of life, while the Parker
and Olney booms are apparently
dormant for the time being. Which
is going to be the one?

Hidalgo Advance.

Hidalgo Advance.
We have learned, through a reli-
able source, that the Monterey and
Matamoros Railroad Company will
soon be running trains to Monterey
sooner than some people seem to
think. 1t will be Il first class
standard guage road throughout.
The building of it will be death
blow to the brick monopoly in
Monterey. Building stone of the
first quality is in sight, in mex
haustible quantities, at three diff
ferent places along the proposed
line. Houses built of this material,
a Century or m're ago, are still
standing, as good rs new, defying
the ravages of time. This stone
requires little, il any. dressing be-
fore being put into a structure, and
the cost Of quarrying it is infnit-
esmal. as it lies practically upon the
surface in thin blocks, layer upon

QUEER IDEA OF FINANCE.

A rich man, extraordinarily
strict in ali business matters. but
kindhearted withal, had gardener
who, in long and faithful service,
contracted rheumatism. Almost
regularly every month the gardener
was ineapaeitated for work for four
and FIVE days at time. When ne
did not work his wages were docked,
and his loss amounted to about SO
a month.
The employer did not like this,
as the man was n valued servant,
and it seemed unfair to make him
bear the financial burden OF an
illness that was the outgrowth OF
OF his calling. But the masters
business instincts would not allow
him to pay for unrendered services.
Finally the employer evolved a
scheme whereby the gardener would
not lose anything through future
attacks, while the proprieties OF
business would not be violated.
Summoning the man before him,
the master said: Patrick, | am
sorry you are ill so frequetly, and |
dislike to dock you, but l must do
$50, as l cannot pay fer anything
do not get. Now, tell yop what
will do. Your wages are $40a month
at present. Hereafter, | will pay
YOU at the rate OF $50, and with thu
average dockage your income vii
be about what ydp would receive a
the old rate if YOU were not sick
viii that be satisfactory to you?
Patrick cogitated a moment befor
replying, Thank We, kindly, SIR,
he said. But if it's all the sam
I'd rather not have the raise. Y
see, when I'm sick now, l lose $
much money every idle day, and
We raise me wages I'll lose more, ant
II can't afford that. Exchange.

THE AMERICANA.

The Mexican Herald gives the
following report of an essay by a
Mexican school boy in English
prose on the subject of Americans:
eve must not have fear of those
men living beyond the Bravo, who
reddishneSs as of furious animels,
and whose voices stupendous IN
rancousness, do conceel a real kind
ness of hart and while they do
spend their laives making moni
they lavish 1t on new advancemuDts
in science and perpetuate a new
fame of illustration which shines
over the sad obscurity of demolish-
ed civilization which like battered
meteors have extinguished them
selves by dashing against the stiff
walls of Fate. The American will
tank in ecclesiastical precincts, but
it is his way of expressing admira'
ton and in he is broosk he is also
good to the beggermens at the door
We be neighbours, and must no
throw stones at glasshouzes OF ont
another"

LAREDO IS preparing TO ship her
onion crop in carloads. That is
what Brownsville will be doing as
soon as the railroad comes. The
beauty about onions or nearly any
other vegetables IS that they bring
in such early returns, while other
crops are not more than planted.
But it requires rail facilities to
reach the market promptly, TO make
truck profitable.

MR.. SWIFT'S MAXIMS.

The late G. F. Swift, the big
meat packer of Chicago, was fond
of few sententious sayings which
summed up his business philosophy.
Most successful men who have made
their own careers, generally have
in their minds sayings like Mr..
Swift's. The late Mr.. De Blowitz,
the celebrated journalist and cor
respondent of the London times.
was fond of pointing out that a
mans success in lie depends upon
his willingness to take the trouhle;'
or as others have said, to take
pains, some of Mr.. Swift's max
inns, not all Ioi them, are worth
noting:
Every time a man loses his tenn
per he loses his head, and when he
loses his head he loses several
chances.
Next to knowing your own bust,
ness, it's a mighty good thing tC
know as much about your neigh.

boris as possible, especially if he's
in the same line.
The richer man gets, the more
careful he should be to keep his
head level.
The best a man ever did shouldn't
be his standard for the rest of his
life.
You can never make big sue
cess working for anybody else.
