Absjnthe Bonbons,

Look out for absinthe in bonbons."
says Philadelphia candy dealer.
"They are on the market and they are
loaded. I doubt IL any are on sale as
yet in this city, but they have been
offered to us and have seen samples
OF them. have no doubt they will
soon be seen here. It's likely that
their stay will be short, however, for
the authorities and the temperance
people will surely be after them.
Four Of the kind of bonbons that were
sent to us would make a pretty stiff
drink of absinthe, and an innocent
customer might get laid out cold be-
fore he knew 1t. Those sent to us
were from Europe, where, under.
stand, their manufacture has resulted
from certain restrictive legislation
concerning the sale of alcohol"

INVENTORS HAD LAST LAUGH.
Steel Making by Ressemer Process
Was Ridiculed at First.


The so-called Bessemer process of
making steel by injecting cir blasts
into molten iron was discovered first
by an American named Kelly, and
known as his air boiling process.
After the iron workers had seen
1t done, they still would not believe
1t. Some crank'll be burning ice,
next thing" they said. Some OF his
customers, when they heard about it,
wrote Kelly that they wanted their
iron made either in the regular way.
and not by any new-fangled method,
or not at all.
When the first blast was SO strong
that 1t melted the iron, the spectators
roared with laughter at what they
called "Kelly's fireworks" and laugh
cd for ten years at his folly"
When Bessemer introduced his
process to the British iron makers,
they, too, roared with laughter at the
crazy Frenchman," and would not
allow the silly idea" to be mentioned
in their records.
The steel rail proposition excited
only derision. "Bosh! Stuff! Hum
bug! NONSENSE" said the railroad
directors when it was proposed to
them. But after one road had tried
1t, the steel mills could not keep up
with the orders sent in.-The Sunday
Magazine.

Fate Of the Tightwad.

My tightwad friend, wish you
would tell me what you are goirg to DO
with all this money you are boarding
up by fair means aud by foul, says the
Village Deacon. You may NIT know
it, but you have already bartered away
your soul for gold. Your minds eye
has become so fascinated by the luster
of money that you have allowed every
thing else about you to become warped
and out Of shape. Get out from under
the spell and look about you. You
will find that you are in the midst Of a
good wreckage. The people about town
shun you all they can. They know
that it makes no difference what is in
the balance against money, with you
money always wins. Your voice is
never raised for public progress. You
have never been known to help the dis
tressed and weary; your relatives will
never rise up and call you blessed.
When you stand before st. Peter you
will be worse off than the poorest devil
you ever skinned. He will wave you
aside and you will stand there and see
hundreds Of people you know pass in,
and each one of them will give you the
horse laugh as they go by. About that
time the fumes of sulphur will hegin to
fill your lungs and q few minutes later
it will all be of with you.-K. c. Jour.
nal.

The Shears & sawbuck Way.

Inc SOeaTS & SaWDuCk way.
Shears and Sawbuck kept store
Such as never WAS before.
Cit, folks, they wouldn't sell,
Wouldn't let 'em have smell.
Fetnhed their money---but by jung!
Couldn't buy a blessed thug!
Couldn't meet 'em face 10 face
Anthem sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was what they sousht,
Folks who'd pay for what they bought
Fore they saw it, hide or tail.
They sent CATALOGUES by mail
On, to ev'ry blessed one
Gettin' mail ut Postum Run.
We s,t up al night and read
Wnrn we'd orter been to bed.
Book was bout as big as siu--
Had lot OF pictures in.
And list OF merchandise,
Er'rv kind AMI ev'ry size--
Givip' prices that they swore
Knocked out ev'ry country store.
l bit at it Jim did, too.
Jim's my neighbour cross the way
Best man ever worked 10 hay,
Just'let him top off q stack
Sheds ruin like a turtles back.
Pleasure iist to see him ywork,
Never knew OIL i'm to shirk;
Swings scythe like it was play
Love to watch him 10 the hay.
Well, we, like a pair Of fools,
Sent off--got some haydn tools.
Jim got harr ess and a pillow,
la range--I see it now:
Drat the thing! it was so ligot
Used it for torch one night;
Throw'd the darn thing in the yard
Use it now for renderin' lard.
Fore Jim used the pillow an hour
Found the blamed thing wouldn't scour
Tried the harness--broke a tug
Sought for solace 10 his jug
In the cooler all that night
jim TeueCLeu on MS pliSUG;
In the morning, Richard Stout,
Hardware merchant, bailed him out.
Jim said after that he'd stick
Close as bark to good oil Dick;
Since he left the Postum Jail
Says he won't buy goods by mail,
Says Dicks cheaper, anyhow
Might have saved some on the plow
On the other goods some more,
At his oil friends hardware store.
Jim says,''We can't sell no truck
To SIGH folks as Shears-Sawbuck,
They'll take all our cash away
Z But won't buy our corn or hay"
That seemed purity strange to me,
So told OIL j i'm I'd see--
$50 wrote to them that night
Jst to see if Jim was right.
Asst 'em'.What they'd pay for oatsY"
Could they use some likely shoatsY
Had about four tons Of hay
i could ship 'em rightaway
Could furnish Mr.. Shears
With bis family roastin' ears?
, Also would my fren Sawbuck
Buy some OF my garden truckg"
Answer came one summer day,
Said they "Couldn't use our hay,
Couldn't use our oats or shoats,
Diln't like our billy goats.
When they needed truck to eat
bought it down on Water street
Sorry, but they must refuse
Anything but cash to use."
! sat down an wrote 'em then.
"Hate TO trouble you again,
But want to thank you, sirs,
For Jour bunch OF cookie bnrrs.
II you love your Teller man.
DO him, good sirs, when you can
While our merchants sweetly sleep

DOWlE'S DOWNFALL.
Prophet Elijah II. Shorn Of His Saccr-
dotal Robes.

Chicago, Ill.,, April 3.-John Alex
ander Dowie, head CT the Christian
Catholic Church in Zion, was yester-
day deposed as a religious leader, sus-
pended from membership in the church
he has founded. shOrn Of his temporal
possessions as far as they are located
in Zion City, the home of the church,
and warned to accept the situation
quietly left worse things befall him.
The active revolt against the lead
ership of DOwie was fOreshadOwed
Sunday when Overseer Voliva, who
had been placed by DOwie in charge
of the church while he sought health
in jamaica and Mexico, announced
that he would no longer accept the
orders of Dowie, who had he declared,
grossly mismanaged the affairs of the
church. The members of the church,
including the wife and son of Dowie,
agreed to stand with him.
The first move looking to his over
throw was made early yesterday when
Overseer Voliva, who holds the power
of attorney from Dowie, in connec-
ton with several of the officers Of the
church, filed for record a warranty
deed transferring to Deacon Alexan-
der Granger all the real estate held by
Dowie in Zion City. He also execut-
ed a bill OF sale to Deacon Granger,
putting him in possession of all the
personal property of Dowie, including
his horses and carriages, books and
even his bed. Later in the day Gran
ger conveyed these to Volva and at
nightfall the overseer appointed by
Dowie had not only succeeded as the
head of the church, but was the holder
of all his property as well.
