SOUVENIR CRAZE IS NUISANCE.
Hotel Keepers Term the Tick Common
Stealing and Theft.

At leading southern hotel, patronized
by supposedly the elite of the winter
tourists, the head waiter found it neces-
sary last season to call repeatedly for
an extra dozen of spoons. The wife of
the proprietor finally took account Of
stock, and found that the hotel spoons
were five dozen short. 4 close watch
was kept, and the walters were soon ex-
onerated 1t was the patrons who Were
steallng the spoons. \ woman richly
gowned. and perfectly able to buy her
own silverware, would be found stealth
lily slipping Il spoon into the front of
her shlrtwaist or up her sleeve, to carry
off as Il souvenir of the hotel whose
monogram it bore. The walters were
instructed to report all such cases with
out letting the thief know that she was
observed, and the price of the spoon
there%pon went into the bill, though not
i'll an itemized way. 1t was found that
cups, plates and doilies were also stolen.
The hotel proprietor. doubtless, is not
hurt in pocket by this habit, since ii
can always be allowed for i'll his rates
and charges. But what of the women
who do it? TO call it fun" or Joke
does not III the least change its true
character. The girl who begins her mar
ried life by petty thefts would be jailed
among the poorer classes. Does it make
any moral difference that she could buy
the glasses twenty times over if she
wanted to? That would seem rather to
make il worse, since the theft is perfect
ly wanton.
\ dealer in antiques and second hand
goods. in New York, has shown mid
ole way. He orders, from the same
firms who supply various large hotels
and steamships, extra dozens of the
china, sl, glasses. etc. fully marked.
These he pl: res on his shelves, by not
more than or two at a time. as if
bought in random secondhand. A
customer, eng souvenir of some
steamship hotel. picks it up and buys
it. Thus wineglass. direct from the
factory, figures perhaps upon the buyer ;
table as 'the glass from the captain (;
table, where | sat on such and such II
passage" 1t may be objected that lying
is here countenanced instead of steal
ing Perhaps SO: the souvenir habit is
apt to be immoral. anyway yOu take it.
1t rests with sensible women, who rule
and interpret social laws, to discounte-
nance the whole absurd practice. and
outlaw it as other dishonesty is out
iawed. -Harper's Bazaar.

HOW LONG 10 KEEP WINE.
Age Doesn't Improve All Kinds of the
Liquor.

y fine old wine.'' sound old port
whatever adjeCtives may be used to de
scribe a wine especially in novels and
storiesl. the attribute of age is never
omitted. AS a matter of fact, however,
all wines do not improve with age. Sher-
ny. port, Tokay,. and such wines are the
better for Il long life, but champagne,
claret, and even Burgundy are only at
their best for limited period. Cham
payne is rarely fit to drink after it has
been bottled over five years The aver
age length of time during which claret
is good and sound is ten years, and few
experts would care to be asked to par
take of Burgundy more than fifteen
years old. Even the wines which mel
low with time. such as sherry and port,
need to be most carefully handled when
they are opened. They will be found
slightly clouded after some twenty
years, and containing considerable sedi-
ment after thirty. In such cases pour
the wine from the bottle into decanter
through very fine linen cloth which
has been previously well boiled. The
only use that can be made of spoiled
claret is To make it into vinegar which
may be done by pouring it into a stone
jug the mouth of which is covered by a
cloth hut not c0rked. Set this ing in Il
warm place for a few weeks; at the end
of that time pour off carefully and you
should have pure red-wine vinegar

FORT FRANCES n. r. CENTER.
Also the Main import and Export
Point on the Boundary.

Fort Frances is one of the principal points
on the main line Of the Canadian Northern
railway system. Two new Canadian rail-
roads are now chartered to build from points
on the main line Of the Canadian Pacific
system into Fort Frances, one from the
Northwest and one from the Northeast. On
the American side six railroads, heading for
Koochiohing Falls, contemplate making Fort
Frances their Canadian terminal, there to
connect with the Canadian railroads. Two
Of these roads, the Minnesota & Interna-
tional, branch of the Northern Pacific,
from Brainerd, Mimi, and the Duluth. Vir-
ginia & Rainy Lake, from Virginia, Mimi,
will be completed within short time. The
other four Incorporated American roads to
terminate at Fort Frances are as follows:
One from Hlbbing, one from Deer River, one
directly from Minneapolis and st. Paul,
through Grand Rapids, and another from the
West said to be the 500 from Thief River
Falls. It Is also asserted that the Great
Northern railroad will build to Koochiching
Falls from the west. The Duluth, Virginia
& Rainy Lake railroad, when completed to
Fort Frances, will shorten the present dis
lance by rail from Duluth to Winnipeg over
100 miles. This railroad will, therefore,
have an important bearing on the overland
traffic, as the shortest route from Chicago
and Eastern points to Winnipeg, and the
Greater Northwest will then be via Duluth
and Fort Franoes.--St. Paul Daily News,

the VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is ii

Few People Know How Useful It Is in
... Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines, and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic. *
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form, or rather
IN the form OF large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much-improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits Of charcoal says: 81 adj
