A Congressman ■ Daughter.
A Congressman’s daughter had been
receiving a young man's attentions until -
her father tho ight it waa time he was j
knowing aomething about if.
“Celcetine,” lie said last night when
the young man waa announced, “isn't
it about time some definite conclusion
was being arrived at in this matter?"
“tjuitc t in, 1 , papa," ahe replied in •
mattcr-of-fa. t way.
"Well, daughter, is there any prospect
of a conclusion?”
“I can t say, really, papa. You see it
is on the calendar as unfinished business,
and—”
“Enough, daughter, enough,” he in
terrupted, putting up his hands, and the
girl went down stairs to complete the
quorum.— Washington Critic.
He Withdrew.
Two men living in the same town were
once rival candidates for the Dakota leg
islature. They both went into the can
vass and worked hard but a third candi
date came out and stood a prospect of
getting it, when one of the men went to
the other and said:
“Now, see here, Mcßride, if one of us
don’t pull out, old Skinner is going to be
elected.”
“Yes, I know it.”
“He ain't a man who would know
enough to make anything out of the
place and I hate to rce him get it. Now,
I want you to withdraw.”
“Well, how interesting are you going
to make it?”
“I’ll tell you what I'll do; you pull out
and I’ll admit to every man I see that you
once beat me trading horses!”
“Hey? Will you do that?”
“Youbet I will!”
“Put a card in the paper to that ef
fect?”
“Yes, and say that I believe no living
man in the territory can come nearer to a
horse's age by looking at its teeth than
you can!”
"All right—l’ll draw out and leave you
the field.” -EstdUnt Bell.
Too Late.
There waa an exultant smile on his
face as he walked into the office of a
well-known capitalist, and there was a
proud ring in his voice as he said:
“For twenty years I have lived from
hand to mouth, waiting for something to
turn up. It has finally come. I have
made a discovery which, if you will back
it with a few hundred dollars, will give
us both fortunes.”
“State your case.”
“Well, sir, I have discovered that
banana peelings can be utilized for all
kinds of tabic jellies. A peck of old
peelings ran be made to bring forth
twelve tumblers of the finest currant
jell, and the profit—”
“Hold on right there," interrupted
the capitalist; “you are just two years
too .ate. A chap in Chicago not only
discovered that, hut he found a way to
work in apple rinds and cores and
orange peel, aud we can’t infringe on his
patent."
“But—”
“It’s no use—l’d like to see you get
along, but you must drop that. Don’t
bed scouragcd, however. Perhaps you
can discover a way to make pressed corn
beef out of old boot legs. All you want

Bon nil to be a Fine Show.
One of Max Taublcs's experiences in
hard times in Idaho he used to relate
with great gusto. He was in bad luck,
and the mining interest was dull. One
day another Bohemian like himself came
to him.
“Max, I’ve got a scheme to make some
money, if you will help me.”
“Wliat is it? I’m ready.”
“Well, we'll take this building down
hrre and give a show.”
“What kind of a show?' 1
“Never mind; I’ll fix it up, and all
you'll have to do will be to stand at tbe
door and take the tickets and give a
lecture.”
“All right.”
So, next day, tho entrance to this
building was found covered with au im
mense double curtain. Max was visible
ringing a bell. “One dollar admission
to see the great and only ferocious
kyhega.” painted on the curtain. Inside,
as people went pasl, they could hear a
fearful growling and aclanking of chains.
Slowly the crowd gnthered, and by and
by the dollars began dropping in. Each
man as he came out looked disappointed,
and Max halted in his locture until he
had disappeared. Some of them were
very mad, but they did not show it. The
fact was that inside all that was seen
was a man in a bearskin, or something
savage, clanking a chain, and the only
way they saved themselves from being
killed by some indignant miner was by
Max's partner standing at the door a*s
each man came out, thrusting a revolver
in his face and saying in a loud and
piercing tone of voice:
“A fine show, isn't it?”
The answer waa always: “You bet.”—•

Incidents of Cyclones.
At Prosper, Minn., the funnel-shaped
storm-cloud took up a mule asd held it
suspended during the cyclone’s course
aver three counties. The mule was finally
dropped to the ground uninjured, but so
charged with electricity that a shock
from its hind feet recently killed a dog.
At Pansyville, lowa, by one revolution
of the whirling cloud the feathers were
completely stripped from a fock of geese
and also from a flock of turkeya. In the
next revolution the feather* were replaced,
but all the turkey feathers were put on
the geese and all the geeee feathers on
the turkeya.
Farmer Hunter, of Mud Creek, Kan
sas, had a narrow escape from a cyclone
lately. He waa driving along the road
when the cloud roared by ao dose to hia
vehicle that it carried away nart of the
hub* of both wheels on one side, as well
a* the outside ear of the off horse

Animals and Naale.
▲ saying among the Arabs asserts that
the song of the shepherd fattens the
sheep more than t pasture. Tht
milkmaids of the Highland* of Scotland
sing to their sulky cow* to restore them
to good humor. The Fri nchman en
courages his oxen to esert them*elves bj
singing pleasant songs. A crmel-driver
often stimulate! his fatigued b-n t to
step out with renewed vigor by playing
on an instrument. Scab have been
known to follow a boat in which some
one was playing, and hunters often take
advantage of the animal's musical taste.
_ Darwin, generalizing from the-e and
similar facts, says tha “the perception,
if not the en joyment, of musical cadences
and of rhythm is probably common to
all animaU.”
It does seem that music it the only
art which animals, fools and idiots an
able to appreciate, and the explanation
is, probably, that music rests on a phys
ical basis common to all living creatures.
Some animals show a liking for certain
musical sounds, and a dislike to others
A lamb is mentioned by the Rev. J. G.
Wood which delighted in lively tunes,
but abhored alow compositions. It would
show its pleasure wnen a polka wa
played, but the moment it heard “God
Save the Queen,” it would set up a con
tinuous bna-baa, and silence the musicians
by provoking laughter.
A Scotch lady could always put her
pet rabbit into such a rage by playing
the harmonium, that it would flv at the
instrument and scratch its legs. If, how
ever, she went to the piano, and played
on that, the rabbit would give vent to his
delight by running round and round the
music stool.
Some dogs howl all the time a hand
organ is played, and many men would,
if they were as free to express themselves
as a dog is. A dog is mentioned who
had such an antipathy to violin music
that he would yell dismally the moment
a hand was laid on the bow.
Mr. Darwin tells in his “Descent of
Man” of a bullfinch which had been
taught to pipe a German waltz. When
the bird waa introduced into a room
where other birds were kept, and he be
gan to pipe, all the linnets and canaries
ranged themselves on the nearest side of
their cages, and listened with the great
est interest to the performer.— Youth's
Companion.
Asiatic Weapons.
Many of the weapons of strango shape
and character to be found in India
deserve special notice on account of their
appropriateness to the and strict in which
they have originated, their historical
associations, or their individual peculiar
ity of shape and quality. The kukri,
the national weapon of Nepal, is about
nineteen inches in total length, with an
unguarded hilt. Its blade generally of
bright steel, is incurved, heavy, and
widening toward tho point. It has more
the qualities of a good bill hook than
anything else, and this, indeed, was its
original function, for the Gorkha re
quired it not only forjlighting purposes,
but also to'clear his way through the
jungles of the Terai. In' his practical
hands the kukri is the handiest of tools
and the most formidable of weapons—
how formidable those who have been in
action with the Gorkha battalions in
our service can well testify. Like
the kukri of the Gorkha, tho
big knife of the Coorg mountaineer de
rived its shape from the daily necessities
of life in dense jungles. The tremendous
monsoon rains which break on the
mountains of the west coast of India de
velop extraordinarily luxuriant vegeta
tation in the district, and the inhabitants
found the constant want of an imple
ment to open their way through the thick
underwood and clumps of bamboo. The
Coorg knife, theayda katti, is about the
same length as the kukri, also with blade
incurved, hut still wider and heavier.
One of its most remarkab’e characteris
tics is that it has no sheath, but is car
ried, slung naked, across the hips,
through a slit in a metal m?lt. The belt
is called a todunga, and is made gener
ally in either brass or silver, of a solid
plate behind, fastening in front with
massive an 1 handsome chains. Asp ke
projects to the rear from the centre of
this plate at the back. This spike has
no apparent definite use, but it was re
marked at the imperial assemblage at
Delhi that the Coorg chiefs who were
there in the costume and wearing the
arms of their native country were not
incommoded by any crowd pressing on
them from behind.— Blackwood.
The Romance of a Model.
“One of the most remarkable incidents
happened to a i artist friend of mine, who
has since moved to Boston,” said a prom
iment New York painter recently. “He
had just opened a studio on Fourteenth
street, and not knowing the ropes very
well, advertised for a model. They
came in shoals from all quarters or the
city—old, young and indifferent —but
none of them sremed suited for the fig
ure he had in view. One day when he
was getting about tired out hunting
around for a subject, a young woman
dressed entirely in black applied for
work. She Slid she had never posed be
fore, but was very destitute and would
gladly work for almost anything to sup
port herself and her little girl. There
was something about her face that
pleased him, so he engaged her on the
spot, though not half believing the story
she told him. But he grew int-rested in
her oasc any way, and decided on
making use of her services.
“The subject of the picture was
‘night,’and represented a female figure
with black draperies half reclining on
the moon with stars on either hand. The
picture was completed and was a tine
piece of work. It hung in a Broadway
dealer's store for several weeks and then
sold for $1,500 to an Englishman. The
purchaser came around to see the artist
a few days later to give him an order
for a companion picture to represent
‘morning.’ He remarked casually that
the first work interested him strangely,
inasmuch the face reminded him strongly
of a friend he had known some years
ago. He asked the artist if the face was
taken from life, and being assured that
it was, and getting the address of the
model, set out to find her.
“Well, the upshot of the matter was
the purchaser of the picture turned out
to be none other than her husband, who
had deserted her in Bouth America some
yean ago. and who, repenting of his de
sertion, had been hunting high and low
for her for several yean. I think this
story is good enough for a novel," said
the artist aa ha lit a f rash cigarette.

Th* kotaa governs tho world.
AD aortal aad moral laws of our cog
toon eiviliaatioa revolve around Ihl hnma
It ia tbo school of social progress; Pub
lie opinion ia the collective opinions of
ourbooe.
Cioar-sighted reformers aim to direct
tha power that rule* the home. In a cer
tain mam wa are nil reformers, we nil
try to make the world better; some ant
trying in one way, some in another; but
wa should all begin at homo.
Let tbe home he n cheerful, sunshiny
place. There let ua find neatness and
comfort. Above nil, let ua have always
good nature and means for improve
ment.
Home ia the place for all the beat
things; therefore don’t keep all your
cheerfulness for society, nor shut out all
the sunshine except when you have visi
tors. Cheerfulness and sunshine do not
cost anything, but withhold them and
you arc a hgavy loser.
It is not alone the housekeeper’s duty
to keep the home rooms neat and tidy;
each member of tbe family should assist
in it. There are a thousand ways of
keeping clean that saves a vast amount
of making clean. Anyone of refined feel
ing regards all labor to secure neatness a
labor of love and duty.
Did you ever hear that little fable of
the chairs? For fear you haven’t I’ll tell
it to you.
“Well,” said a straight-backed,
straight-legged chair to a cosy rocking
chair by whose side it chanced to be
placed, ‘ ‘ before I would be such a drudge
as you are, I would be a stool; or, if
possible, something more insignificant.
People are not content with making you
nurse everyone, be they big or little, but
you must be continually rocking them to
and fro.”
“To be sure,” answered the little
rocking-chair, “ I am always busy and on
the go for the gratification of others;
but thereby have I won many friends,
and appear to be a great favorite with all.
This pays me for all my trouble.”
The moral of tlxis pretty fable is, that
all who cheerfully and willingly do for
others are the ones who gain most for
themselves.
This is a most beautiful lesson to
utilize for home life.
One of the pleasantest and noblest
duties of the family is to furnish its mem
bers with good reading. In times tnat
are past, it was considered enough to
clothe, feed and sheUcr a family. But
now it is recognized .os a fact that we all
have hungry minds to be satisfied.
They must be fed a healthy diet; they
want to be sheltered from the pitlicss
storm of error and vice. An ignorant
family is a dark spot on our modern in
telligence.
Let good reading go into a home and
the very atmosphere changes. The boys
begin to talk ad men, principles, the
pst and the future. The girls find open
ing before them anew life of knowledge,
duty and love.
Out from that fnmily will go intelli
gent men and women to till useful and
honorable places in society.
Let the torch of improvement be lit in
every household. Let the young and the
old vie with one another in introducing
new and useful topics of investigation
and in cherishing a love for study and
advancement.
Such a home implants memories in the
heart that can never die. The rough
rubs of the world can never obliterate
them. Lives so formed are the timbers
that uphold tho world.— Chicago Ledger.
Old Whimsicalities.
Dream of snakes sign of enemies.
Dreaming of muddy or rushing water,
brings trouble.
Finding a horseshoe or a four-leaved
clover bnngs good luck.
If you cut your nails or sneeze on
Saturday you do it “for evil.”
She who takes the last stitch at a
quilling will be the first to marry.
If you cannot make up a handsome bed
your husband will have an ugly nose.
If you spill the salt someone will be
‘ 'mad” with you unless you put some in
the fire.
Stub your right toe, you are going
where you are wanted; your left, where
you are not wanted.
If the rooster crows on the fence, the
weather will be fair; if on the doorstep,
he will bring company. K
If the first Sunday in the month is un
pleasant, there will be but one pleasant
Sunday during the month.
If your right ear bums, someone is
praising you; if your left, your friends
are raking you over the coals.
Returning to the house for a moment
after having once started out will bring
bad luck unless you sit down.
When, in dropping a fork, it strikes
the floor and stands upright, it will bring
a gentleman visitor; if a knife, a lady.
While at the washboard, if the suds
splashes and wets the clothes you are
wearing, you will have a drunken hus
band.
If you drop your dishcloth you will
have company; also if you sweep a black
mark; or if two chairs stand accidentally
back to back.
If a baby sees his face in the glass it
will be the death of him. If his nails
are cut he will be a thief. If he tumbles
out of bed it will save his being a fool.
Break a mirror, sign of death. Death
is also foretold by a dog howling under
a window; hearing a mourning dove, a
strange dove hovenng about, or dreaning
of a white horse.
If you see the new moon through the
glass you will have sorrow as long as it
lasts. If you see it fair in the face you
will have a fall. Over the left shoulder
bad luck—over the right good luck.
Mtlesteses es the Bead te Health.
The recovery of digestion, and the resump
tion of activity by the liver, bowels and kicU
Beys, we milestones which mark our progress
on the road to health. They speedily be. one
perceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
b used by the invalid. Nothing so sorely and
expeditiously consumes the distanoe to the de
sired goal. As no bodily function can suffer
interruption without impairing the the general
health of the system, so the system can never
aoqutre perfect vigor, health’s synonym, until
that function be actively resumed. Take, for
instance, digestion, a suspension of which b
invariably rectified by the Bitters. If the or
gans opon which it devolves grow weak, bit
wosnMa. constipation, headache, poverty of
the blood, and a hundred other symptoms su
pervene, which indicate omnia:akably the
baneful general influence of dyspepsia. The
disappearaiioe of all these symptoms through
the use of the Bitters, show with what thor
eughneaa it removes their eauae.

Semebetf v'e Child.
Sombbody’. chUd is dying—dying with the
Bush of hope on hi* yoong face, and somebody's
mother thinking of the lime when that dear
face will be hidden where no ray of hope can
brighten It—because there was no cure for
consumption. Renter, if tho child be your
neighbor's take this comforting word to the
mother's heart before it is too late. Tell her
that consumption is curable: that men are
living to-day whom the physicians pronounced
incurable, because one lung had been almost
destroyed by the disease. Dr. Pierce’s “Gold
en Medical Discovery" has cured hundreds:
surpasses cod liver oil, hypophosphitea, and
other medicines in curing ihi disease/ Sold
