THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
Rumors from Washington would
indicate that much dissatisfaction
and some suspicious, exist with ref
erence to the administration of the
Land Laws. There has always
been an insolvable mystery In con-
nection with the manner and
methods of the General Land of
flee in Washington. The proverb-
ial laws delay" was a mere infant
in arms, as compared with the de-
lays, that every one has to put up
with who has any business with the
land department of our govern
ment.
NJ We must recall the last sentence.
Every one does not have to put up
with the delay. If one has money
and is willing to use it judiciously
he can expedite matters to his
hearts content. We do not know
how, or upon whom the money is
used, but as matter of fact it is
used upon somebody, and as a re-
suit expeditions action upon mat
ters before the Department is &C.

A popular practice of many smoker
consists In dscharging the smoke in

through the nostrls. This is ever
considered by some to be essential t.
the full enjoyment of the flavor OF tn.
tobacco.
The London Lancet, while acknowS
fdging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm is done to the
smoker save to his sense OF smell, has
sounded note of warning against the
habit as possible dissemination of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
unsuspecting households by the un.
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surface traversed by the tobacco

carried into the air by the man who

Election to the Most Exclusive Ones
Is Serious Business.
Election to the exclusive clubs of
Paris is very serious business. The
proposer and seconder must not only
know all about their candidates, but
be able to bear witness to their ante
cedents and even to their forefathers.
They must write to all their friends
and ask them to support their candi-
dates. When the election takes place,
they must not only be in the room, but
approach each member Individually as
he comes up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.
When the member has been elected,
he arrives the first day as kind of
stranger and with his hat in hand. He
Is then formally introduced by one of
his proposers to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be In the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be stranger and may
leave his hat in the hall, but he is still
expected to go round the room with
one of his proposers and be formally
introduced. This lasts for a week, by
which time he is assumed to know all
his colleagues. though foreigner who
is extra punctilious and insists on be-
Ing introduced to every member Of the

DOCTORS MIST4FES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid

themselves and their easy-gOing or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them TO be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
81 only symptoms caused BY some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause Of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason OF the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A

The Way Jay Gould Brought an Ex-

Recalling early days in the express

companies told this story of Jay Gould:

express business on the road. The con-
tract was about to expire, and Gould
wanted an arrangement more profita-

you're making all the money Gould
said to the express people. You ought
to do some of the work and give the
railroad chance at the money
THE express company officials de-
INJURED Their profit. they insisted,
was no more than they were entitled
to, and they refused to shade the con-
tract penny. Gould insisted on de-
crease, but they remained obdurate
and eventually let the Erie president
understand-what he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All the companies at that
time were in an agreement to maintain
rates

ton, I guess, to my going into the ex-
press business for myself. 1t looks
better than railroading'

Gould could organize all the companies

tention soon weakened their faith IL

among his associates talking up an ex-
press company scheme, officials of 9th

enterprise and stood pat Presently Il
was reported that he had bought TWEEN

men asked themselves. They set t.
work investigating and they discover

actually bought and paid for the safei

and he was negotiating for all the 9th

Now, thoroughly convinced O.

came to terms. Gould got the best con
tract from a railroad standpoint tina

States Express company considered
most valuable to itself was one stipu
