bad condition, and are especially danger
ous after dark with no light to show the

WHAT’S BLAINE UP TO NOW?
BEPORT THAT HE IS AFTER A WEST IN
DIAN ISLAND.
Portland, Me., Aug. 2.—An evening
paper prints a dispatch from Bar Harbor,
quoting a gentleman who, although now
in private life, has held important posi
tions in two Republican administrations.
Speaking of Secretary Blaine’s recent let
ters, this gentleman said:
“It is not impossible that this country
may soon have an opportunity to add to
its sugar producing territory, and in order
to do this it may be important, that pend
ing the negotiations, the duty should not
be taken off of sugar. Tou have noticed
recently the report from Washington of
the arrival of Spanish Commissioners to
negotiate for the sale of Cuba for $200,-
000,000. That I believe to be a blind.
We are more likely to secure another West
Indian island.
“This much is certain—a gentleman
very high in the confidence of the Domini
can Republic recently made a hurried visit
to Bar Harbor especially to see Mr. Blaine,
and just prior to his sailing for this coun
try he had been summoned to the capital
of his own country by its Government.
Closely upon the heels of this visit Fred
erick Douglas, United States Minister to
Hayti, arrived in this country. We may
be sure that this means something import
ant, which will be developed before long.”

Not to Be Outdone.
Hospitality is the crowning virtue of
the Turk. He would scorn to bethought
behindhand in fftis respect when com
pared with any other race of men. Mr.
Barkley tells a story in his “Bulgaria
Before the War” which proves that the
Turk will not allow himself to be out
done even by any of his countrymen.
A friend of mine was one day shoot
ing in the vineyards at Rustchuk, when
he was stopped by an old Turk and told
that trespassers were not allowed, and
that he must clear off at once.
My friend turned to comply, but be
fore leaving said in Turkish, “What
manner of man are yon? I have shot in
these vineyards for years without a word
being said to me, and today I have passed
over many miles and spoken to many
owners of vineyards, and .you are the
only one who has raised the slightest ob
jection. The vineyard is yours, and yon
have the right to object to my being
here, so I shall leave your ground, but I
never received such treatment from an
Osmanli before.”
The Turk, who, up to this time, had
been squatting on the ground, jumped
up, and, with a marvelous display of en
ergy, began protesting.
“My good fellow,” he cried, “yon shall
not say so! Others have shown you hos
pitality, and 1 will not be behind them.
Go where yon like, eat what yon like,
carry away all yon like, and all the vine
yard is yours to do as you like with.”
The Englishman thanked him. and it
ended in the two squatting down and
having a feast on grapes together.
Are Women Careless of Money?
No woman, at least in America, has
any such talent as a man has for spend
ing money. She spends for what she
believes to be beauty—for raiment,
books, jewels, decoration, furniture, pic
tures, marbles—rarely for what does her
serious harm. He spends most for his
vices, for the things that hurt him great
ly. He is apt to speculate, to bring evil
to others from his love of pleasure or of
gain.
He will get rid of more money in a
month than she would in years. She
would, however ignorant of it, be ap
palled by the sums he dissipates. She is
constitutionally conservative; big state
ments of any sort are likely to alarm
her. Unless desperate or frenzied, she
invariably stops short of extremes. She
trembles and turns pale where he, in the
flush of egotism, moves undisturbed.
Nearly ajl the talk of woman’s care
lessness’ of money is really idjg^ Tfee
opinion cannot be sustained. It is main
ly the echo of misapprehension. Where
die is even partially enlightened on the
subject, she is prone to be very cautions
in its use. H^rt6ThperamenTal tendency
is to tile opposite of carelessness.—Junius
Henri Browne in Ladies’ Home Journal
Annoyances of tlie Openhantled,
Frequently I have expressed my pity
for rich people. My pity’was renewed
w&en a gentleman said to me: “My wife
and our children are to go abroad next
week.” “You’ve only just got back
from Europe,” I said by way of surprise
and interrogation. “Yes, but my wife
is just killing herself. Every morning
before we sit down to breakfast there
are from five to a dozen men and women
af the house, telling pitiful stories of
rent overdue, of hunger, and what not.
My wife can’t turn them away with
‘No’] &iiS fias neither strength nor time
to investigate each case, and she usu
ally: gives them what they want.
“But she knows that such giving is
bad. She isso hemmed in by this circle
oFLeggars that she must go to Europe.
It’s pretty hard.” he added with a sigh;
“we’ve been separated but little since
we were married: but I don’t see any
other way than to close the house, and
for them to go to Dresden, and for me
to go to boarding.”
I wanted to tell the generous man that
if he and Mrs. Openhand would send the
mendicants to me, I would investigate
and report to them, that 1 could save
them several thousand dollars a- year and
the necessity of going over the ocean to
escape the cry of poverty, but I thought
it would seem impertinent, and 1 de
sisted. But Mr. and Mis. Opehand
ought to have strength of will as well as
generosity of heart. I know that such
generous and unwise people do more to
promote poverty than many a secretary
of some associated charities can do to
cure poverty.—Chicago Advance.
A Horse’s Long Scrim.
A pair of horses attached to r, heavy
truck belonging to Smedley Brothers, and
driven by Louis Woods, became fright
ened near the head of Long Wharf, in
New Haven, Conn., and ran away. In
his efforts to control the animals Woods
broke the bit in the mouth of the off
horse and they sped down the wharf at
a breakneclf pace. Just before reaching
the end Woods jumped, seeing that the
horses would go over into the harbor.
This they did a moment later, horses
and truck disappearing in water ten feet
deep. For a moment the team was out
of sight. Then one horse appeared on
the surface and struck out for the East
Haven shore, a mile and a half across
the harbor. Some men followed in a
rowboat.
About a quarter of a mile from the
wharf the horse struck mud and floun
dered. He was helped up by the men in
the rowboat and again started for the
shore. A short distance further on he
again struck a mud bank and rolled over
on his back, but once more he was as
sisted to his feet, and working his way
through the mud reached deep water.
He swam as straight as an arrow, and
did not need further assistance until
within a short distance of the shore,
when he struck a reef of fine stone and
disappeared under the water. The
spectators on shore held their breath in
expectancy that he had gone down for
good, but the next instant he came to
the surface, and clearing the reef found
a firm foothold and walked ashore*
through water about three feet deep.
He was in an exhausted condition after
his mile and a half swim, and did not
manifest any disposition to run further.
The other horse was drowned. With the
assistance of a derrick the truck was
raised to the wharf.—Cor. New York
Sun.
Ice Cream’s Biz.
Mother Frochard stood near the door
of the Amphion theatre, and her cart
bore lickings of hoky poky many.
Ice was high, the weather was cold,
and the soul of Mother Frochard was
angry within her.
Yet the sun was high, and if yon but
stood well in its beams yon might per
haps—if the hoky poky habit were well
developed in you—obtain a wish for a
licking of the same from a piece of dirty
paper. At least a score of small boys
felt the inward longing, but alas! like
Simple Simon, they had not the neces
sary penny. They stood about and eyed
hating woman and her cart with
those of Lazarus at the rich
man’s door.
At length a scion of wealth approach
ed, airily jingling several coins in the
pockets of his trouserlets.
“Give us a cent’s worth,” he said
haughtily, as became a scion of wealth.
Then Mother Frochard’s ire arose.
“A cent’s worth!” she screamed; “a
cent’s worth!” and she flourished her
ladle in the face of the scion of wealth
in a manner to make him blink. “Yer'll
get no cent’s worth of me the day. Two
cents a lick this summer’s the price. Let
me tell yez that, young felly. Don’t yes
know that ice has riz?”
The scion of wealth turned trembling
ly away, and when it was too late Moth
er Frochard looked as if she had been too
hasty.
Beware, monopolists. You may go too
far on this ice question.—New York
Herald.

At Tea with the Ballet Girls.
A representative “assisted” at a cari
ous kind of tea meeting to which ladies
of the ballet, chorus ladies and dressers
were bidden. They came in scores, fresh
from the Empire, Alhambra and other
music halls. Mr. W. Forbes, an evan
gelist whose work has been commended
by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Spurgeon, was
the host, and the place of meeting was
the Whitfield church school room, in the
classic precincts of Drury lane. After
the “hot buttered toast and gay Sally
Lunn" had been disposed of there was a
short service—Sankey’s hymns and short,
common sense addresses.
As the guests, ladies from say an un
certain age to girls of 16 years, left to
trip it on the light fantastic toe and well
known boards in the region of Leicester
square, texts and flowers were given to
each as a present from the Theatrical
Flower mission. Mr. Forbes has these
pleasant social gatherings every now and
then, and through his acquaintance with
the neglected classes thus brought to
gether is able to do some work of a
philanthropic as well as distinctly re
ligions character among them. The
good man last year took 270 ballet
ladies—they are always called ladies—to
Epsom for a day’s outing. He meets
with no opposition from the music hall
authorities: indeed, the manager of the
Alhambra went to Epsom as well as 140
of his dancers.—Pall Mall Gazette.

proportions. As will be remembered,
one piece, the largest found, weighed 110
pounds, and was purchased by Professor
Winchell, of Minneapolis, for $105. But
the professor only’ reached Forest City
with his prize. He bought it from Peter
Hogan, who found it on a farm of which
he is the lessee. The owner of the farm
has sued Hogan to gain possession of the
huge air traveler, and the specimen is
held until the decision of the suit.—St.

An Unappreciated Organ.
Not many months ago a number of
th£?adies of the congregation of Budge’s
chapel, a few miles north of Mount
Pleasant, Tex., set to work by means of
church suppers to raise money enough
to buy an organ. How well they suc
ceeded the organ itself was there to tes-
r y ten days ago: but, however much
improved the K.rmony of the song
service, it left the unity of the congrega
tion hopelessly broken. The conserva
tive party was small but obstinately set
against this instrument of Satan. Sun
day the congregation sang in the old
way, for in the still hours of the night
somebody had carried the organ ont of
the house and made a burnt offering of
it, and only ashes and screws and wires
remained.

China and Japan at Odds.
In well informed circles the prospect
of wai between China and Japan is be
ing seriously discussed. The bone of
contention is Japan's claim to the Lui
Chin Islands as Japanese territory, and
as the Chinese are said to be determined
to fight unless Japan gives up the islands
in question it is quite possible that fight
ing may ensue. At all events, the
Chinese government is said to be ener
getically preparing a squadron for active
service, a fact which perhaps serves to
account for the recent marked increase
of Russia’s naval and military forces in
the far east.—London Figaro.
The train which recently carried the
emperor of Japan to Nagoya made, it is
said, the best record ever reported over
a Japanese roach It traversed the dis
tance of 226 miles between Tokyo and
Nagoya in nine and a half honrs, includ
ing stoppages.

BEAUTIFIES THE COMPLEXION.
I was afflicted with a very
bad complexion; Tan, Frecklecl
and Discolored Skin. A Lady
friend advised me to use Laird’s
“Bloom of Youth,” (I shall al
ways be grateful to her.) You
know it must have merit and be
a reliable preparation. It has
been in the market about forty
years, and millions of ladies have
always used it. Will remove Tan,
Freckles and all imperfections,
leaving the skin soft, smooth,
clear, white and beautiful.
