A Maori Dance.
This extract is from a New Zealand
letter in the PhUadeiphia ledger: In
the evening the natives treated us to a
hnfca, or dance, in honor of the governor.
It took place in the carved house I have
already spoken of, the weird, grotesque
< .irvings of which added to the strange
n*‘.ss of the scene. Tliere were about a
liundred dancers ranged in Jive rows,
the front one consisting of about twenty
young women gorgeously appareled in
tight-fitting red or white calico bodices
mid flaming-colored rugs, worn like
kilts. When the got ' rnor entered they
greeted him with the most awful noise,
shouting, yelling, laughing, and in some
diabolical way imitating the noise of the
beating of tin cans, the barking of
and rapid hand-dapping. The dance
lasted about an hour: -it was curious
and as a novelty amusing, but rather
monotonous. There was hut little
movement of their feet. It consisted
chiefly of swaying their bodies and arms
about, going down on their knees, inSi
tating rowing and gathering crops, slap
ping their own legs and then itlieir
neighbors'. The men then took the
p ace of the women and went through
very similar performances. The whole
dance was accompanied by noise that
would have put pandemonium to shame.
It sounded like a mixture of beating of
trays, dog fighting, gigantic snoring and
a very full, deep bass rumbling in the
throat. At times there seemed to be a
kind of rhythmic song, interspersed
with yells and short, sharp cries of
“Hue, hud” "Ha, ha!” “Fakeka!”
The young women winked and grinned
and twisted about beyond what was
strictly correct, but tie y seemed to enjoy
the really hard work of the dance most
thoroughly. There was always a chief
running up anti down, dancing and de
claiming, in th" foreground, bidding de
fiance to all the world apparently, but
in reality, I believe, merely suggesting
that he would like to drink his excef
!< to y's health. Far the most comical
feature of the dance was a naked little
imp who stood in front of the first row.
exactly opposite the governor, and imi
tated playing the fiddle with hi.s little
ihin arms, all the while thrusting out
hi' tongue, rolling his eyes nearly out of
his head and making the most fearful
fa and contortions. A little girl who
tried to do the same had not nearly the
same real genius for making herself hid
eous and grotesque. At last a liberal
supply of beer was promised them, the
dance came to an end. and the governor
departed amid an uproar, if possible,
core awful than before.
Something About Pretzels.
History says that fifty-two years ago
a man named Sherley baked the first
pretzels in Lancaster county, Penn., ever
made in the United States. lie rode
I hrough the country on an old horse and
sold the pretzels from a bushel bag. Up
to comparatively a few years ago pret
zels were made only in Pennsylvania
and some portions of New York State.
They are now becoming very popular in
Chicago and other portions of the West,
and also in some of the cities of the
South.
It takes a very expert hand to mold
ten pretzels in a minute, ready for the
oven, while no one cares to make more
than seven pretzels a minute, working
all day. A Pennsylvania firm lias just
completed an automatic machine that
turns out pretzels at th'“ rate of sixty to
one hundred per minute ready to be
baked. It is nine feet long, two feet
wide and eight feet high, water or steam
power.
The dough is placed in a funnel-shaped
cylinder eight inches in diameter and
sixteen inches long on top of the ma
chine, and it passes half way around a
concave cylinder right feet in diameter
and fifteen inches wide, having a back so
arranged that the dough is rolled be
tween them and then drops upon an end
less apron having sixteen molds, where
the rolled dough is shaped by a curious
device into pretzels, after which they
drop upon a movable hoard, which,
as soon as filled with pretzels, is re
moved and an empty board substituted.
I lie machine is a very ingenious con
trivance and includes a feeder, cutter,
roller, folder, presserand movable board.
The pretzels are deposited at uniform
distances upon the board.
Work on the Washington Monument.
The work of strengthening the founda
tion of the \\ ashington National Monti
inent lfor which a further appropriation
ot SUM.(MM) has been made by Congress) is
just about one-half completed under the
former appropriat ion of $36,000, and will
now he pushed with all the possible dis
patch consistent with the safety of the
work. There are about sixty men em
ployed under the direct supervision of
Mr. J. 11. McLaughlin, who will be re
membered as having had charge of the
erection of the Ascension Church. As
may he supposed, the work of under
pinning requires great care. Everyday
or two observations are made to
determine the least deflection of the
shaft, and the result of each observation
is carefully recorded, and from the data
thus obtained the work for the follow
ing day is blocked out. Besides these
observations, those by a plumb line
hung from the top of the shaft (about
ITO in height) are carefully noted and
compared with the other observations.
Any deflection of the shaft not percepti
ble to the naked eye is apparent both by
tlie instrument and the plumb line, anil
swell deflection is corrected in the suc
ceeding work. Thus far there have been
used 3.500 barrels of cement, and bids are
out for 6.8(H) more to be used in the
foundation, and so eon fident are the eom
mission that this part of the work will
be completed this season that they have
directed Col. Casey to put in place
thirty or forty feet of marble work by
tile time Congress assembles next De

RUSSIA’S MISFORTUNES.
Mfc !n%h* Country a Veritable •* Sea ot
Trouble*.
j Russia’s complicated misfortunes are
possibly unparalleled in the history of
any country. Just before the latest
i Turko-Russian war the wretched condi
tion of the people in many of the Czar’s
provinces had brought about extensive
eruptions. Then atfve tribes of the Cau
casus could not stand the levies imposed
• on them in different shapes by the Rus
sian army and revolted. Being defeated,
they were transported to the northern
: provinces of Russia. This proved so
fatal that of the first party of 2.oooexiles
one-half died in the first year. There
are now 770 families, besides
300 single persons, of these Daghestan and
Tersk rebels on their way to exile, and
still more have been doomed to
transportation. The war wifjh Turkey
wxs resorted to in the hope that it would
raise the old patriotic sentiments and
turn the minds of discontented Russians
from their domestic troubles. This no
tion proved a mistake, and the results of
the war, so far as Russia is concerned,
were unsatisfactory. Over 200,000 men
perished in it, of whom 18,000 are re
ported to have frozen to death, and the
wai expenses amounted to 1,500,000,000
roubles. The Russian Nihilists have
watched each step of their enemy—the
Russian government. Tlius the two
hostile powers—the Revolutionists and
Imperialists—have been carrying on
their desperate struggle, each trying to
deal tho death blow to the other. In no
agricultural country is the chief product
of the fields—the grain—so much as
sailed as in Russia. The forces of na
ture itself often turn against the public
welfare. One year the crops are de
stroyed by extensive drc#ight; the next
year by excessive rain, by inundations
and by hail, Then again every year, be
it too dry or too rainy, the fields are de
vastated by clouds of locusts and beetles,
and by swarms of Siberian marmots.
For the last five years the middle and
southern provinces—the very granary of
Russia—have been one vast nest of de
struetivc insects. The Russian millions
have a foe vet more terrifying than fam
ine. Epidemic diseases make havoc
every year in many parts of the empire.
Jhe fatality last year from the plague
was small in comparison with that which
occurs every year from other less heard
of epidemics. Several varieties of ty
phoid fever, especially the so-called hun
ger typhus, and cholera are epidemic in
Russia. The young generation is de
’ troyed by diphtheria and small-pox to
such an extent that it has been necessary
to call for the aid of the Red Cross socie
ties in dealing with them. The ever-re
curring and extensive fires, of which we
have lately heard so much from Russia,
should not be overlooked. Statistics
show that every year no less than one
twelfth part of all the houses of Russia
are consumed in flame. Russia will
doubtless go on burning, for the present
Russia is but a huge agglomeration of
combustible material, with hardly any
fire extinguishing engines. In conse
quence of the appalling poverty of the
masses of the Czar’s subjects, it has for
many years been impossible to enforce
the payment of taxes upon any regular or
orderly system. The tax collectors re
sort to the severest measures against de
linquent taxpayers. They are flogged
and imprisoned, their cattle, horses, pigs
and poultry are seized and put up at
auction, and finally the house of the de
linquent is unroofed. These are some of
the points which, for the common peo
ple at least, make Russia a veritable
"sea of troubles.” —Philadelphia Tele
A Pittsburgh Man's Luck.
Newspapers nowadays are full of stor
ies of the marvelous luck which has be
fallen people who did not look for any
thing of the kind to happen. Every now,
i and then we hear of somebody having a
large fortune left to them by the death of
a distant relative, a cousin in California,
or something of that kind. Not long ago
a young Pittsburgher had a singular
piece of luck happen to him. One day
the young gentleman in question was
walking down Fifth avenue when he saw
an old and rather decrepit man slip on a
: crossing and fall heavily. He aided him
to regain his footing, and helped him
i into a neighboring drug store, where the
j old man had his leg mended with stick
j ing plaster, as he had knocked some of
the skin oIT. The old fellow seemed very
I grateful for the courtesy which had been
j shown him, and, after asking the name
! of the young man who had been of ser
; vice to him, be wrote it down in a mem
orandum book, and said, as he shook
hands, “ My name is , I am from Mas
sachusetts. Someday, perhaps, you may
hear from me.” Time passed on, and all
recollection of the occurrence passed from
| the Pittsburgher’s mind. He became
embarrassed in business, and was re
| duced to extreme poverty. One day
when lie felt extremely down-hearted and
did not know which way to turn for a
livelihood, he chanced to pick up a Bos
! ton paper, and, to his intense astonish
ment, he saw that the old man whom he
had picked up on Fifth avenue was dead,
and by his will, which was published in
the paper, the Pittsburgher saw that a
fortune of over $300,000 had been left by
the dead man to founda theological sem
inary.
Words of Wisdom.
The word of an honest man is surer
than the gold of a villain.
We cati_ never die too early for others
i when we live only for ourselves.
I It is the best proof of the virtues of a
! family circle to see a happy fireside.
llow few faults are there seen by us
which we have not ourselves committed.
If every year we rooted out one vice
we should soon become perfect men.
Ingratitude calls forth reproaches, as
gratitude brings fresh kindnesses.
Let a man overcome anger by love,
veil by good, the greedy by liberality, the
iar by truth.
He who would amass virtues, leaving
out the guardian virtue humanity, is like
a man who leaves a precious dust'exposed :
to the wind.
Might and right do differ frightfully
from hour to hour; but give them cen
turies to try it in and they are bound to
be identical.
Men of great and stirring powers, who
arc destined to mold the age in which
they are born, must first mold themselves !
upon it.
Energy will do everything that can be
done in this world; and no talents, no
circumstances, no opportunities will
make a two-legged-animal a man without
it.
There are some benefits which may be
so conferred as to become the very re
finement of revenge; and there are some
evils which we had rather bear in sullen
silence than be relieved from at the ex
pense of our pride.
Tricks of London Booksellers.
A seller of old books in Isindon has
written for the Pull Mall Gazette a con
fession of a few of his sins, which would
gladden the heart of many an American
buyer if the writer gave any evidence of
repentance. “ A number of us,” lie savs,
“ crowd into an auetie,n-room, where a
library is brought to the hammer, and
buy every article. Here all know one
another, and each one bids for the rest.
There is, therefore, no advance on the
first hid. unless an outsider interferes,
when we soon run the price up beyond
what he cares to give. This trick, re
peated as often as necessary, disgusts’ the
outsiders and secures the whole stock for
ourselves at far less than its real value.”
When the auction is over they “retire
to a neighboring tavern and repeat it ”
among themselves. There the volumes
go at fair prices, which allows the buver
forty per cent, for profit on his private
business. “ All being sold, we cast up
the totals of the two sales, subtract the
smaller from the greater, and divide the
remainder eaually among those present.”
This is not all; nor is it the most start
ling confession “One of the Craft ” has
to make. “We have a good manv wavs
of enhancing the value of our wares"
Celebrities of all sorts, who are as ser
viceable to us in a way about to be
described as those merely literary, are
dying off every day, and their libraries
disposed of. In these eases we look up
from our stock all likely books, furnish
them with sham plates and autographs
and soon get rid of them at fancy prices'

THE BATTLE OF ULU-NDI.
How the Zulus were nefeated In their
Stronghold.
Dr. W. H. Russell sent to the Lon
don Telegraph the following account of
the battleol Ulundi:
" At six o’clock in the morning the
combined columns of Newdigate and
Wood crossed the White Umvolosi. As
the forces gathered on the left bank of
the river in all their strength of artillery,
cavalry and British infantry, the Zuiu
prediction, that the cradle of the nation
in the valley of the Umvolosi would also
be its grave, seemed certain of fulfill
ment. What could the Zulu swarms,
seen gathered along the spurs, with all
their feline courage and instinct for tac
tics, effect in the face of the army that
with unwonted celerity and precision
moved down the slopes, and massed
upon the further hank? Koppie Drift,
upon the regular mission road, was the
cros&mg point.
“ All passed over and reached the high
level ground beyond the river. Some
two miies distant rose the steep bowlder
capped hills, over which, some thirty
years ago, the Zulus hunted the beaten
Boers, associated, therefore, in Zulu
minds with victory and victorious pur
suit. To the right lay lower thorn
covered hills, which extern! to the la
goons at the mouth of the White Umvo
losi, Behind and on the left stretched
broken country, scarred with ravines
and valleys, sprinkled with mimosas—
clumping in places into awkward-look
ing cover—and branching euphorbias,
which give the country so striking a
character. Close on the right lay a
gloomy glen, which, from the days of
Chaka, the Zulus have used for the exe
cution of criminals. Just beyond we
crossed a little stream nearly dry that
winds among the king’s fields —here all
is royakdemesne—and supplies the royal
kraals with water. We found ourselves
in view of the amphitheater, where
stand three great military kraals-—Nod
wenga, Udabakaombi and Ulundi. Our
position was excellent for strategic pur
poses, commanding the enemy’s ground
in front, and, except on the left, where
stood the Nodwenga kraal, a thousand
yards distant, affording- the Zulus no
rallying point in their disorder. Our
rear flanks, from the nature of the coun
try, were equally protected from sur
prise.
“Here the army halted, awaiting the
impi that was seen surging down the
hills on our left, taking- skillful advan
tage of tho Nodwenga kraal on our rear,
and emerging from the bush on our right
front. At 8.30 the mounted irregulars,
under Buller, were thrown out on the
rear, left and front, keeping the enemy
in check on these three sides; but, from
an error, the right, where it was thought
the lancers would have acted, was at
first unprovided for. This omission
was discovered, and the mounted Basu
tos and the native contingent under
Cochrane rapidly deployed in the pret
tiest manner possible, and skirmished
toward Udakaombi kraal, returning the
enemy’s tire briskly, and holding them
pluckily in check. The Zulus were too
strong for such a handful, and the Ba
sutos, retiring on the right face, came
into action with what may he called
the left horn of the Zulu army.
“ Meanwhile, however, the enemy had
so extended their formation that all
four sides were soon engaged—the Zulus
advancing in skirmishing order, with
great steadiness had unexpected silence.
There was no shouting, clashing of
shields, nor savage demonstration, hut
strictly orderly discipline. Our lire was
terrific, and the artillery practice excel
lent, hut the determined Zulus advanced
within seventy yards on all tour sides be
fore they begun to break, as a further
advance was really impossible. In
about half an hour from tiie commence
ment of the infantry fire they were seen
falling back in close masses, becoming
rapidly disorganized under the storm
of bullets and shells which poured upon
them, and the wavering mob broke into
open flight.
“The lancers, now loosened, were
among them, and within a minute were
riding through and through, cutting
them down right and left, while the guns
continued tearing up the flying masses
with their lire. Within an hour the
whole affair was over.
“ The Zulus certainly were from
twelve thousand to thirteen thousand
strong, including the flower of the army.
Seven thousand warriors were engaged.
Prisoners state that they went into
■action under Cetywayo’s own eye. Our
troops, young and old alike, behaved ad
mirably; but the firing, considering the
small loss of the Zulus—eight hundred
in all—must have been rather wild. Our
loss was ten killed.”
j Hideous Story of a Pair of Shoes.
; For some time past the shoes worn by
a young medical student of this city
j have been a source of constant curiosity
i and no little comment among his friends.
It was certainly something unusual that
! created this attention, for they were
J neither particularly large nor peculiarly
i small, nor yet were they in either so
j good or bad repair to excite more than a
| passing glance. They were simply a
J pair of ordinary low shoes, but it was
their texture and the strange material of
which they were constructed that made
them at once curious and remarked.
The leather is light brown in color and
streaked with parallel veinings of a
darker shade, the whole as soft as silk.
Among his friends the doctor in embryo
makes no secret of the mystery of his
foot-gear. “They are made from the
skin of a belle of Cincinnati,” he says,
I giving the name of one of the leading
families of that city, and while the hair
of his listeners begin to assume a perpen
dicular position, lie goes on to tell how
during his term at college he was one
night sought out by a resurrectionist fa
mous among the medical men, who
I offered to sell him a subject iust
“ snatched” from a cky cemetery. How
the corpse (that ofa beautiful young girl
whose white flesh and the costly ring on
her smooth, white hand, showed her to
be of no poor family) was bought by
several of the students, and how, when
the body, slashed by the knife of the dis
sector, lay upon the table, he crept in
and out the skin from the round limbs.
The ghastly bundle, securely wrapped
and tied, was packed in an old gripsack
and sent with an explanatory letter to a
well known shoemaker in this city. The
skin was then tanned and polished, and
finally place# in the hands of a skillful
workman, and under his manipulations
transformed into a pair of low summer
shoes. The remainder of the tanned skin
now lies in the shop, and it is said may
readily be produced to verity the story.
The body of the poor dead girl, hacked
and mutilated, found a nameless grave,
while the mound reared in her memory
in the cemetery of the city is draped
with flowers and vines planted by loving
(lands above the empty coffin.
The shoes fashioned from her flesh
tread our streets every day. Their story,
in all its hideous grotesqeness, is vouched
for as strictly and absolutely true, and
certainly furnishes no mean leaf in the
history of the dissecting-room —Lafay

The King of Solo’s Band.
At last accounts a Javanese prince,
the King of Solo, was expected in Paris,
lie is spoken of as wealthy and accom
plished. having an annual income of
$6,000,000 and speaking several lan
guages. King Solo is accompanied by a
full band, which is thus described by
Giiliynani : The musicians are seated,
after the Oriental tasliion, upon a plat
form. attired in the gala of Javanese
costume. The jacket is ol blue cloth,
with gilt buttons, the waistcoat white,
while a dark-colored handkerchief winds
round the head, and the legs and thighs
are enveloped in the national “sarong.”
The instruments are of bamboo, with the
; exception of an immense copper gong,
which serves as a big drum, a couple of
two-stringed ivory violins, and a harp
strung with copper, wire, a sort of piano
whose keys are struck with hammers in
stead of fingers, and a few wind instru
ments. At a given signal all set up a
groaning, crying, or humming, as well
without false notes as without melody,
while time is kept by the contortions of
the dancers, the celebrated Roggenys,
copper-colored and almond-eyed, with
their jet-black hair bound in knots be

with flowers.
For Small-pox and Scarlet Fever.
A correspondent forwards to the Xew
York Tribune the following prescription
for small-pox scarlet fever, which
he asserts has been singularly successful
in hundreds of eases. It is: Sulphate of
zinc, one grain: foxglove (digitalis), one.
grain; half a teaspoon of sugar; mix in
two tabiespoonfuis of water. When
thoroughly mixed add four ounces of
water. ’Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For children, small doses ac
cording to age.
FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Bone as a Fertilizer.
For about thirty years bones have been
treated with acids, to reduce them to a
soluble condition, or to break them down
into a fine powder. When thus treated
the residue is known as superphosphate
ot lime. But we now speak of them in
their natural condition, and refer to
methods of preparing them for use.
Lvery farmer in the country can save a
considerable quantity of bones of home
production, and by a little trouble and
attention can collect a large quantity
fioni the dwellers of villages in hisvicin
uy. \\ e once gave notice to the boys in
a village of 5,000 inhabitants, that we
would pay twelve and one-half cents a
bushel for all the bones brought to a cer
tain vacant lot; as the result more than
sixty bushels were found and brought in
wheelbarrows and baskets. Two boys
wlio worked together, struck a “find’j
in an out of the way place, and from that
and other places accumulated twenty
four bushe.s, and were very rich with
their three dollars received for them. In
this way one can often secure at least as
much bone as will return to liis land a
large portion, if not the whole, of the
annual waste of phosphates. To over
come the difficulty of making use of them
in a raw and unbroken state, the bones
may be burned in a slow fire, preferably
m a heajxof brushwood, chips or similar
refuse. By slow burning all risk of
waste from over-heating is avoided.
lien burned the bones areeasilv crush
ed to a fine powder, and then contain all
the substances found in raw bones, ex
cepting the nitrogen. This loss, how
ever, cannot be helped, and it is better
to submit to it than to neglect to use the
bones.
By grinding raw bones in powerful
mills they may be reduced to a fine
powder, and in this condition are known
as ground bone, bone dust, bone meal
and bone flour, according to the coarse
ness or fineness to which they are reduced.
thus prepared they are articles of gen
eral merchandise, and are kept for sale
wherever bones are to be procured, or
the prepared bone is in demand. The
raw. unbroken bone is worth in the
market about one cent a pound, when
ground it is sold at prices varying from
one and, one-half to two cents a pound by
the-ton.' When the bone is “ raw,” that
is, in its natural and fresh condition, it
contains all its nitrogen; but when
steamed to extract glue, the nitrogen in
great part is removed, and the bone is
less valuable. On account of the diffi
culty of preparing bone without the re
quisite machinery, and the cheapness of
the prepared article in the market, it is
always preferable to procure the ground
bone made by reliable manufacturers;
otherwise the bones can be collected and
prepared by. burning, as above mention
ed. Bones are valuable to put into the
soil under grapevines and fruit trees.
Clusters of roots will grow around and
feed upon them for many years, or until
they are entirely used up. They can be
broken with heavy hammers, or even be
pfat in whole—a peck to a half bushel
scattered about in the soil where they
will be reached by the roots. —American

Black or flesh-colored pigs are freest
front skin disease in hot climates. The
choice is practically between Essex
and Berkshires for males with which to
improve the native stock of hardy grub

who have tried the former have been
delighted at first, but after a few years
began to recall with louging the lean
hams and slim but solid and flavorous
bacon of the old race-horse breed. The
trouble with the Essex pigs for the South
is that they are the eat-and-sleep to

and so far the breed is all that could be
desired ; but the ham and shoulders are
too fat for profit, and the ham is not
marbled with fat like, the Berkshires.
These (the Berks) are much more wider
awake, less easily controlled, but good
foragers. Their grades are a wonderful
improvement upon the original stock,
may be made very fat, and yet the pro
portion between the fat and lean hams,
shoulders and side pork or bacon, is
such as to develop and preserve the ex
cellencies of the meat. The hams are
large and rich and juicy, with diffused
fat. Berkshires are not quite so easily
fattened when penned and systematically
fed as the Essex grade, but they will
take much better care of themselves in
the woods, and when penned or fastened
ft* 1 fattening, may be finished off" with
half the feed the original land pikes ”
would require.
With many northern and western
breeders, the Essex is a more profitable
pig than the Berkshire, because his na
ture leads him to take little exercise, so
that all lie eats goes to flesh and fat.
Respiration, which, if rapid, reduces fat
greatly, is with him never accelerated by
moving about, and with plenty of feed,
the sole burden of life is to digest it.
This breed is pre-eminent among the
black breeds and excelled by none as fat
producers. —American Agriculturist.
ISutter Tlukiiu;.
If I have made a discovery, or if
everybody knew it before me, I will tell
it all the same. As soon as the cream
shows signs of “ coming,” pour into the
churn two or three quarts of water—as
near ice-cold as it is possible to get—and
the butter will gather a great deal
quicker and come hard and firm. I
tried the cold water (ice w r ater) on the
start, and found it made the cream too
cold and kept the butter from coming;
but put in at the last end it is a capital
idea, and will save hours of churning in
the course of the season. Butter will
come in fifteen or twenty minutes as a
rule, if the cream is in the right condi
tion and temperature. A cooi cellar is j
cool enough to start the churning, and j
as near right as most farmers can get it j
without thermometers and ice, and cold |
well-water will lower the temperature !
for gathering. The temperature of our j
cellar is sixty-four degrees, and the hut- 1
ter invariably comes quick, with the j
help of the cold water, which is proba- I
bly two degrees colder. When the j
cream stands too long on the milk be
fore skimming the butter will not come j
so quickly and it is always poorer, and j
sscli butter will not keep well. This is
one reason, and the main one, why there
is so much rancid butter. Better churn
oftener and have good sweet butter, and
skim oftener also.— Cor. of Rural New
Yorker.
Trunk Space and the Sexes.
Mr. Bowerman and wife left for the
country yesterday. One could tell that
their trunks were not over half full, as
they were pitched into the baggage car
with a crash. They began packing a week
ago. When the subject was broached
he said he preferred to pack his own
trunks, and he didn't propose to take <a
whole month to do it, either. All he in
tended to take along was an extra suit,
and he could throw that in most anyway.
Xight before last he began work. It
struck him that he’d better put in an
extra pair of boots as a foundation and
lie flung ’em in the corners with his
clean shirts. The shirts didn’t seem to
ride very well, and he braced them with
two pairs of trousers. Then he stuffed
his Sunday coat pockets with collars and
cuff's and found a place for it, used his
white vests for “chinking,” and the bal
ance of his clothing fitted in nicely.
“ Ihe man who takes over ten minutes
to pack a trunk is a dolt!” said Mr.
Bowerman, as he slammed down the lid
and turned the key.
Mrs. Bowerman has been at it just
; seven days and seven nights, and when
the husband went up stairs at ten o’clock
she sat down before the open trunk with
; tears in her eyes.
“•You see how it is,” she explained, as
he looked down upon her in awful con
tempt. “ I’ve got only one part of my
dresses in here, saying nothing of a
thousand other things, and even now the
lid won't shut down. I've got such a
headache I must lop down for a few
minutes.”
She went away to lop, and Mr. Bower
man sat down and mused:
“ Space is space. The use of space is
•in knowing how to utilize it.”
Removing everything, he began re
packing. He found that a silk dress
i eouid be rolled to the size of a quart jug.
A freshly starched lawn was made to
take the place of a pair of slippers. Her
brown bunting fitted into the niche she
had reserved for three handkerchiefs
and her best bonnet was turned bottom
up in its box and packed fill! of under
clothing. He sat there viewing suffi
cient empty space to pack in a whole bed
when she returned and said he was the
only real good husband in this world,
and she kissed him on the nose as he
turned the key.
“It s simpiy the difference between
the sexes,” was liis patronizing reply as
he went down stairs to turn on the bur
glar alarm.
When that wife opened that trank last
night ! But screams and shrieks
would avail nothing. —Detroit Free Press. I

A Useful Rat.
In the show window of a trunk store
in Hartford an interesting sight may be
witnessed every evening, in an old gray
rat catching flies upon the inner surface
o i the glass. The old fellow trots around
among the sachels and traveling bags,
and whenever he sees a fly upon the
glass or the goods he goes for it with a
nimbleness and dexterity which secures
uniform success. Ilis operations are
often continued while several person?
are watching him irom the sidewalk, of
whose presence and attention he seems
quite oblivious. In the opposite win
dow are spread several sheets of sticky
fly paper, where few or many of the in
sects are struggling, who would appar
ently be easy prey for the voracious and
venerable rat, yet he appears to under
stand that the sticky paper is suspicious,
and avoids it, attending strictly to busi
ness in his own department.
Those ITseful Conduits,
The kidneys and bladder, sometimes become
torpid and weak irom unascertailiable causes.
When this occurs, their discharging function
is ol necessity very imperfectly performed,
and certain debris, which is the result ol
natural bodily waste and decay, does not es
cape as it should, but remains to corrupt the
blood and develop poisonous humors and
dangerous' as well as paintul diseases. It is
one of the beneficent effects ot Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the uri
nary organs, and prevent them from lasping
into a state of inactivity, always provocative
of their inflammatory degeneration and de
cay. How much better, then, is it to adopt
this mild diuretic as a means ot inciting them
to action, than to incur the danger ot this de
struction. To expel from the system waste
matter through the bowels and kidneys, and
to regulate and arouse the stomach and liver,'
are among the chief uses of this valuable
remedy.
Everybody knows that so long as there is
proud flesh in a sore or wound it will not heal.
The obstacle is speedily removed and thefiesh
reunited by Henry’s Carbolic Salve, the finest
embodiment in existence ot that supreme puri
fier, carbolic acid. Its emollient ingredients
modify its pungent acid basis, so that it never
cauterizes, stings or scarifies the diseased
part. Sores and eruptions ol all kinds are
cured by it. All druggists sell if.
“ Laiiifh and (irow .Fat.”
This ancient bit ol advice is well enough for
‘spare ’ people, but how about those that are
already too lat? What is to become of them ?
Sit still, and I’ll tell you. After manv experi
ments, extending through months ot pat.ent
investigation and toil, the celebrated analyti
cal chemist, J. C. Allan, has perfected and
given to the world Allan’s Anti-Fat. Thus
far, in several hundred cases, this great rem
edy has never failed to reduce a corpulent
person from three to six pounds per week.
It is perfectly harmless and jKisiti vely efficient.

An Open
Secret.
The fact is well understood
that the MEXICAN MUS
TANG LINIMENT is by far
the best external known for
man or beast. The reason
why becomes an “open
secret” when we explain that
“.Mustang” penetrates skin,
flesh and muscle to the very
bone, removing all disease
and soreness. No other lini
ment does this, i.ence none
other is so largely used or
does such worlds of good.
