The Happy Go Lucky HncIsmcn 81
the Irish Metropolis.
The Dublin jaryles are not what you
would call good whips. They drive, as
unladylike people say, like the divil;
they cut around corners fcatly enough
and go slashing up Notwithstanding hills,
but nine out of ten of them drive with
a loose rein. They talk to the fare,
and the little horse runs on, doing the
best he can and following his own
dauntless will. 1 lay no fault upon the
jarvy. The Irish horse shares Paddy's
gragh for independence. or him, too,
1t may be said that lie serves without
scrvility.
The ~Jarvy-.llght hearted lad, be he
young or old-gains in the run of the
days mn average of 9 shillings. The
fares are jolly cheap. Tor n "set
down" within the boundary the charge
for two persons between 9 n. IN. and
10 p. III. Is only siNpcnce. BY time
the charges nre II and six an hour,
with M added siXpence for each sue
ceeding hour. Still the jarvy does fair
iy well. Barney, who is no better than
the others, took me to his home. 1t
was In Spring Gardens, where there
are rows upon rows of neat little red
brick cottages, with gardens md sta.

his smart little wife, there are un-
luckier lei than he.

with soft cartilage, 30 these bones are
greatly weakened near their centers.
Instead OF an accidental defect this IN

When this happens, al in my case,
the strain OF the struggling creaturvB
body is too great for the weak spots In
Its tail bones, and n Of these gives
way, with the result above narrated.
The muscles, too, are arranged to aid
this phenomenon. They arc short and
thick and conical instead Of running
the whole length Of the tail, and, being
only dovetailed together, they readily
give way. Only O few drops Of blood
escape; then the stump heals over. and
before long a new tail begins to shoot
out.
This, Of course. contains no bones,
but instead a long, unjointed rod OF
cartilage exactly like the ancestral one
which was present In the embryo 1gu-
ana. Stranger still, the scales On this
new tail are unlike those on the rest Of
the creatures body and actually may
be like those Of some bygone ancestor.
In the smaller lizards, called geckos,
this seems always to be the case.
When 1 closely examined the tail
which the iguana had left in my hands
1 saw that 1t was one of these "fraud'
tails and had long ago supplanted tho
original appendage, with which soma

1t is a curious fact hat the tail making

and when the original tail is even only
slightly injured at one side a tiny tail
will often sprout out where 1t has NO

water begins to steam the bark swells

and has itself burned to redhot Goals

Accurate Clocks.

Every part of the clock down to the
minutest detail has been the subject
Of study II improvement, and they
are made and adjusted with such pre-
cision and delicacy that In testing
them the question is within how small
n fraction Of a second will they run.
Not content with their marvellous per-
Torrance when under normal condi-
lions, some of the finest astronomical
clocks are surrounded by glass or
metal cases In which a partial vacuum
is maintained, n in order that the
cases may not be opened or disturbed
the winding Is done automatically by
means Of electricity, the frequency Of
the winding in some cases being as
often as once every minute. These
clocks are set up in especially con-
structed rooms or underground vaults,
where they are free from jar or yibra-
ton, where the temperature and ba-
rometric conditions remain practically
constant and where every possible pre-
caution is taken to further minimize
the errors OF the running rate.

ENGLISH MANNERS.

1t is seldom, indeed. thGt 0u English
man will acknowledge TINT II nan of
any other nation has the advantage Of
him in any respect. Indeed, there Is, I
believe, only one fault which we are
nationally ready to allow may be fair
ly attributed to us-n certain lack Of
charm in In reccIt years,
when 1 have lived much abroad, I
have several times heard the English
people say, "NNhat n pity 1t Is we
haven't more charming mannersn"
If we are eve to have as pleasant
as, our ~neighSors the first idea
we must get rid of is that 1t is a sign
OF weakness to be agreeable. A GIN
let eye and n stiff upper lip are not
sure indications Of n moral grip or
even Of physical strength. Giants, we
know, can be genial. and q smiling
saint a be quite as godly as the
austere skeleton with an expression
like a distressed monkey bemoaning
the sins Of the monkey house. To
have what Is sometimes called IMAM
ner" Ia not to write yourself down Of
Terminate. We English laugh heartily
at what we call the Glowing and
scraping' Of Frenchmen and Italians
as IL We thought that by bending his
body q man parted from his masculin-
ity. This is folly and betrays only q
confusion Of mind that wakes scorn
In the intelligent.
When a Erenchman or an Italian
ONE into a drawing room he bows
low and kisses the hand Of his hostess.
This is pretty, but 1t is not pretty
pretty" 1t indicates n not servile
gratitude for hospitality accorded and
a graceful respect for ones hostess.
The Engllshman's entrance into n room
and greeting are more brusque and
show less courtesy. Then we are, rs
n rule, much more ''on our dignity
with those whom we consider beneath
us in station than are the other Euro
pean nations except the Germans. We
like to mark our position.
l suppose there Is nothing more es-
sentially underlined thai standing on
ones dignity" yet many of our Eng
lish aristocracy do It as well as the
nouycauX riches. They seem to think
1t necessary to give themselves airs.
Why? often wonder, especially when
l note the easy simplicity and well bred
familiarity so universal among foreign
ers Of the same class. The English
man, for instance, usually treats serv-
ants merely as servants" to Use a
phrase l have often heard in English
mouths. lie Is probably quite just to
them. He often prides himself OH that.
But he is markedly detached. He is
not human with them. 1t must always
be n case of master to servant, never of
MAJ 10 man. His servant Is TO him a
machine. lie speaks to him with curt
GOODNESS. He looks at him with II
frosty eye that Is likely to chill.
Again / ask, "Why?" Where Is the
necessity Of this taclt and perpetual
insistence on n difference of position?
The forcigner-horrid but useful word
seldom bothcrs about such matters.
He treats the people round about him
who minister to his comfort with q
friendly familiarity, and rarely indeed
do they try to take advantage of it.

Formal proceedings in both the senate
and house followed the regular routine

In the senate the most spectacular
feature was the swearing in of many
new senators. In the house the re-

and the drawing of seats by members
were the chief incidents. No attempt
was made to transact important bust

Personal RECOMMENDATIONS
BETTER THAN ADVERTISING.

How often we hear and read the ex-
preston, "A friend advised me to try
Peruna. l tried It and found It to be ex-
actly what l was looking FOR"
At least ten times as many people have
taken Peruna because a friend advised
them to do so as have taken ii because
they saw It advertised.
Advertisements, however attractive they
may be made, cause only a small per
cent OF the sales OF Peruna.
1t is the advice which friend gives to
friend which sells Peruna.
Peruna cures one person Of some phase
OF chronic catarrh, and because OF this
cure a dozen other people are induced 10
take Peruna.
Attention Called to Pe-ru-na.
Max J. PorEes, alderman of the Eighth
district, sc Rivington street New York
City, writes:
"Peruna is a national blessing.
MY attention was called to it this fall
when l had la grippe. Two bottles made
a new man of me-"

THOUSANDS OF UNPUBLISHED
TESTIMONIALS ON FILE.

No other remedy in the world has re-
ceived such a volume of unstinted tesu-
mony.
While we have thousands OF testi-
monials that we can never publish yet the
written testimonials are as nothing in
comparison with that spoken every day
by friend to friend and neighbor to neigh
Dor.
This is what makes Peruna so popular.
The people try it and find that 1t cures
them.
Then they recommend it to others and
others try It. and so the work goes on.
II ali advertising OF Peruna were stopped
the sales OF Peruna would doubtless con-
tinue for a generation or two, because OF
its intrinsic value.
A Friend Recommended Peruna.
Mr.. John c. Thomas, Harewood, w Va,
writes:

tarrh. A friend recommended your medi-
cine to me, and thanks 20 his wise rec
ommendation am now cured"

CARRIER PIGEONS FOR TABLE
Eesssnger Birds from UnOls Sans Navy
Find Way Into Omaha Hotel,
BAND ON LEG SHOWS GOVERNMENT SEAL
SU. s. $. Bonneville or Bennington
Appears on One Bird-SupPOsed
TO Have Come from
Pacific Coast.

number Of pigeons were bought Friday
morning from the David Cole commission
house by the Murray hotel, and while dress
ing them IT was discovered that two Of
them were of much larger size than the
ordinary domestic pigeon, and on leg
OF each OF the large pigeons was stout
metal band branded with the words, u. S.
Carrier Pigeon" This consignment of
pigeons were received by the Cole company
from Sioux City, but further than this
they could not be traced.
A few years ago the United states govern
ment undertook to utilize carrier pigeons
for experimental messenger purposes, but
these were only utilized on the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts the service being confined
TO the Navy department On one of the
bands is scratched II. s. S. Bonneville OF
Bennington" though the scratching is sc
nearly oblterated as TO be almost unde-
cipheTable.
The question arises, where did these two
carrier pigeons come from? Tho bands
show that they have been fastened 10 the
birds leg for long time and the portion
OF the leg TO which thR, band was attached
is much abraided from constant friction.
Tho birds evidently have been in colo
storage for some time and II is possible
they may have been received in a sfpmen
from the Pacific coast.

LEVYS RETURN FROM ABROAD
MF. Levy Says No Europe for Him So
Long as United States
Hold Out.

Marris Levy and family have returned
from a three months stay abroad. They
visited Germany. which is the home OF Mr.
Levy's youth, Italy, Holland and the
larger cities of France and England
America is the best place to live" said
Mr. Levy. Il cannot understand how any
one who has been in this country for a
long time, can wish to go back to Europe
to live. They haven't the modern con-
veniences and comforts we have here. In
many hotels which are considered first
class they have electric lights on the first
floor and in places you are lighted to
bed with a candle. The railroad service Is
far inferior to ours. The servant class
are all too obsequious. especially TO Amerl-
cans, bowing frequently and expecting a
tip every time they bow"
Mr.. Levy noted great building activities
In the large cities Of Germany, notably
Berlin. But he found numerous smaller
towns no larger than when he left thirty
five years ago. Skilled mechanics are in
big demand in Berlin. The people of both
France and Germany are IN an unusually
prosperous condition.

A Prominent and Successful Man
Completely Restored by Pc
Tu-Ha After Trying Other
Remedies In Vain.

Mr.. Henry c. shoop Washington c. H.,
Ohio, writes:
Il consider Peruna one OF the greatest
remedies known to mankind.
Being an active man all my life, and
with the constant strain and ambition to
try and make life a success, l found out
to my sorrow, some FIVE years ago, that
my physical strength was leaving fast
although not then had 1 reached the me-
ridian of life.
Il began at once to try to study myself
and apply such remedies as l thought
would reach my case.
'I tried every remedy could think Of,
but only temporary relief would result
and ! finally came to the conclusion that
proprietary or patent medicines were a
fake
Coming to your city about a year ago,
looked upon the trip to Columbus as
being my last.
In conversation with one Of your most
prominent citizens l was induced to give
Peruna a fair trial.
81 sTnust say good results began after
taking the second bottle, and there was a
constant gain in my weight from 1875 to
1GO pounds now, with as fair health as
ever had"
