to eat the flesh of one of two seals
they had killed, they made a landing
near Yaquina. There they secured
food, water and blankets from the
lighthouse and again went on a hunt
for their schooner. They were I'M.
successful, and 4S hours afterward
they were again in the breakers near
Tillamook. This time they were not

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

The prevailing tendency, says Hen
ry Labouchere in London Truth.
seems to be to eulogize this young lady
with fervor calculated to create
jealousy among her British sisters. At
any rate, my own feeling is that the
American girl deserves all she gets. l
have seen a good deal of her not only
in England, but on the Continent. She
varies, like the offspring of all nation
alities; and it may be said of her as
of the little girl in the nursery rhyme,
that when she is bad she is horrid.' .
But at her best she seems to me to
eclipse the damsels of all other nations.
I don't quite know how she does it,
and, not being a poet. l could not de-
scribe the process if l did. st is not
that she is exceptionally beautiful.
But she has such an irresistible way
with her: she is such an adept in the
art of looking nice; she is so witty and
good-humored, and she enjoys life so
thoroughly. In short. had l to decide,
like Paris, between the rival charms of
bevy of modern beauties, 1 think
an American girl would probably
take the apple. Consequently 1 rather
envy the British peers-whether or not
personally repulsive-who are able not
only to find American brides, but
handsome dowries thrown in.

besides has purchased $2,000000 worth
of adjoining real estate.
Mr.. Netcher rose until he was man

business in 1t. He followed. this with
purchases of leaseholds, aggregating
almost 81, 100000, on Madison and Dear
born STREETS, until he now controls
about half of the most valuable block
in the city of Chicago.
He is so years of age and works

W0MEN'S QUEER

personally, says Countess in Lon

the most extravaganza of virtues. MY
hts of economy are invariably follow
ed by the widest fits of buying. In

go without something l really want and

at once and replaced by the expensive

beginning. Cheap and nasty" did not
become a proverb for nothing.
There are many dismal things in life
but l do not think there is anything
quite so dismal as economizing. Only
very wealthy people know how to do
1t thoroughly and really enjoy it. A
rich woman will walk miles to buy
some trifle she can get in Holborn for
about half the price which she would
be charged in Bond street, and will
talk about it for weeks afterward,
Haunting her thrift in the faces of her
less prosperous friends. Half the mil
lonaires' wives in society would buy
bananas off a hawker's barrow if there
were any means of doing so unobserv-
ed. AS it is. they cast longing eyes
at them as they go by and wish the
green-grocer did not charge rs. a doz-
en-, when the hawker displays them for
two penny.
Only people of limited means know
how to enjoy spending. 1t seems to me
the chief charm of wealth would lie
in the fact that one need never con-
slider money again. but the economies
of all the rich people l know are a
living contradiction of the theory
Thrift is a grand thing to talk about,
especially for the very rich and the
very poor. but when reduced to practi-
cal purposes il is really of no value to
the vast majority of individuals living,
as most of US do, beyond their means.
You cannot exist in society on pen
urious thrift any more than you can
govern the British empire on cheese

SHE WAS DYING
Consumption's Deadly Grasp
Broken by Blood Wine.

Mr.. S.. Raynor, 1856 Third ST., S. E,
Washington, d. c., says:
"In August last my daughter Elsie
was taken with the typhoid fever; she
was in the care of two physicians for
about two months, expecting her to
die every day. After the fever broke
both doctors said it had left her with
consumption, and that it was only a
question of few days, and that they
could do nothing more for her. She
then could not raise her hands over her
head. My wife suggested that we
try Blood Wine as the doctors had
ceased to give her any medicine. We
commenced the Blood Wine with
excellent results. After taking the first
bottle she got out of bed and sat in an
invalid chair, and after the second
bottle she came downstairs and kept on
improving right along until she had
taken six bottles, and now she is as
well and strong as she ever was in her
life, and if you should see her you
would not think there were any signs
of consumption"
Read what Mr.. Peter Berry of Pearl

"a very hard cold settled on my
