General InutiIity Boy.

Mir Hobbs looked thoughtfully at his city guest and then looked out of the window. ''When you ask me if it's true that Jim Manton is the most poplar boy I've ever had to ten store and go round with the order wagon" he said, slowly, "why, I'm bound to tell you it's so. But when you go on to ask me how l think he'd suit down in Boston, Pm kind of dubious-that's what l am, kind of dubious.
 "You see, it's like this with my busi ness. Order day is order day, and de- livery day is delivery day, and wheth- CT it's summer, with thutty-two GUS toners on the route, or winter, with well, with some less, all Jims got to do those days is to get over the route by shutting-up time.
 And he's what you might call q handy boy, Jim is. Groceries and hard ware aren't all he's got in his mind, and he's ready to take hold and help with what's going on wherever he goes. Sol feel-kind of dubious when I think of Boston. I don't know as you catch my meaning?" "M-m," said the city man. q be- lieve I do."

Sun in the Poultry House.

If those who raise poultry would realize that fowls that have had free access to sunshine during seven, eight or nine months in the year miss it greatly during. the months of confine- ment, they would do some changing in their methods of building and arrangement. Unfortunately many writers are decrying the scratching sheds, claiming that they are not suf- ficiently valuable to warrant their cost and maintenance. Of course, if one has large poultry house, well lighted and so arranged that all the sun pos sible enters, then possibly the scratch ing shed is superlluous. But how many such houses are there the coun- try through? One may have a very small house proper, dnd by the aid of the scratching shed raise good many fowls. But whatever the ar engagement of the poultry quarters, plan so that they will have all the sunlight possible, and you will see a decided gain in the egg production.

Tablet to Brave Soldier.
lieve I do.'

There is tablet in the sailors home at Melbourne, Australia, to James Marr. He was q sailor before the mast on the Rip. On July 15, 1873, the Rip was caught in squall. Marr sat astride of the gatf when great wave broke over the boat and brought down the mainmast.
 There was only one chance to save the Rip. That was to cut away the litter. But Malr clung to the broken spar, and to cut away meant to send him overheard to death. So, looking at him doubtfully, the men hesitated, their axes in their hands. MaT, help less, pondered. He saw that his death would be the boats salvation. And be shouted:
 "Cut away, mates! GOod-by."
 Then he let himself fall into the cold, wild sea. tc' a'-.'t

If you have q hair-raising story to tell spring it on bald-headed man.
DEAFNESS CANnIoT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition off the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an unframed condition of the mucous services.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

 Lost Hope.
 Bakersfield, Cal. Dec. 1s.--The res- cue force at the Edison works still has eight feet to go before Hicks, the en- tombed miner. can be reached. The work Is of the most dangerous charac- ter and proceeds very slowly. The rescue will not be effected before to- night.
 At the mouth of the shaft, where communication has been maintained with the buried miner for many days, the faithful watchers are almost over come by the stench of the dead bodies, which have begun to decompose. Add ed to this came the repeated wailtngs and meanings of the man below, who apparently has at last lost courage. Work along the whole length of the canyon is suspended today and even tho Los Angeles offices of the company are closed. Rescue cannot be effected before tomorrow morning.
 Hicks, the entombed miner, after asking if the Information was to be used fin an obituary, gave the follow ing to an inquirer as his personal his- tory: Cavalry in 1898 and later served Tn company D, 2sth and company H of tho 3Oth Regiment of Infantry, United States army. He was three years in Manila as soldier and civilian. In the latter capacity he was a cobbler. He ia 3s years old and has married daughter, Mrs Henry Wagars, in Man" chester KY.

 British Banks,
 London, Dec. 1s,--In the opinion of the local bankers, unless a wholly un. expected demand for gold crops up there is no reason to. fear that the Bank or England will consider 1t necessary to raise the rate of discount asAa res suit of today's advance in the rass of the Imperial Bank of Germany.
 The step taken at Berlin is regarded as precautionary move rather than an indication Of the intention of taking gold from London. The Bank of Eng. land recently made it's per cent. rate more effective by freely discouutinr bills, this practically obtainine control of the money market As the bills ma tufe the situation will be relieved and a further easing of the market will re. suit from the approaching release of the accunaulations of customs moneys now in the Governments cofFers
 While 1t is true that the Egyptian and Argentine gold demand have to ba met. it is understood that the Bank of France Is ready to again relieve I,on- don by the release of gold, should the necessity arise.
 The increase of the German rate had some effect on the Stock Exchange hers, where it was accepted as proof that money will remain dear well into the new year. Consols, as a consequence, were sold this morning, resulting in a decline of 3-16 before noon.

No Chance Te Save The TOurist steamer.
 Kingston, Jamaica, Dec. 1s.--The As- sociated Press correspondent visited the scene of the wreck of the steamer Prinzessin Victoria ,Luise this after noon, The vessel is a total wreck.
 Her hull Is full of water fore and aft ana she is fmpaled on the rocks amldships. with her bottom pushed up. The ves- sel struck head on and the waves then carried her broadside on the ledge. She is now lying with a heavy list to port. Salvage operations will be commenced tomorrow preparatory to handing the steamers over to the underwriters. The bed plates and engines are displaced and there are nine feet of water In her starboard side and sixteen feet in the port side.
 Captain Brusvvig mistook Plum Point light house for the light stationed at the Western Point of Port Royal and turned his vessel sharply to the north, steaming az the. rate of fourteen knots an hour. The crash was terrific one and marine surveyors here are of the opinion that if the vessel is removed from the ledge, she will immediately sink.
 . The body of Captain Brunswig, who killed himself in his cabin on board the steamer, after she went ashore, was landed and an autopsy performed. The autopsy showed that the back part of the Captains head had been com pletely shattered by a rifle bullet. The body was buried this afternoon.

 It was occasioned by the postpone ment of action on bill increasing the artillery corps Mir. Warren remarked that he he should press this bill to a conclusion before the Qualifications ap- propriations bill came up, as he be- lieved it useless to appropriate between $6,00O, 900 and $15,0o0,000 a year to in- crease the Qualifications of the country and then fail to provide men to prop erly man them.
 We now have three guns to. every man." he remarked, and have expendt ed more than $100, 900, 900 in carrying out the scheme of Qualifications recom- mended by the Endicott board and yet have made no increase in the artillery corps.'
 Senator Warren suggested that he would like to hear from Mir. Hale re- garding the navy interference. as MT. HaleAwas a member of the naval com mittee and the annual increase for the navy was from ten to twenty million dollars.
 '"rhe senator is right" responded Mr. Hale. "The disease is just as deep In the navy and am inclined to think deeper, than it is in the army I have tried for years and shall try again this year to keep down naval ex- penditures, but the military establish ments are alike, each seeking to ag- grandize itself.
 T do no6 suppose the people of the country appreciate 1t. It do not know that She Senate does, that two-thirds of the revenues of the country today are devoted to the payment of the burdens of past wars. like pensions and expen- ditures in view of future years. Of all the taxes that are laid and all the rev enues collected, nearly two-thirds are expended for militaries in this way"
 Senator Scott observed that during the summer he had visited nine coast Qualifications and found the big, new, expensive guns sewed up in canvas, after having been rubbed in vaseline. He should demand that some measure be passed to secure adequate care of these guns, or that no further expenses be incurred in that direction,
