ani this injured
trade, and the deosnave been re-opened
The piea is similar to the ona that ex
eluding whisky injures trade. A mar
may buy more freely because lie feels hit
dram; but the dram will make him lest
able to pay at the end of the year. Pro
fessional gamblers, when flush, generally
spend freely; but gambling adds nothing
to the wealth of a community; it simply
transfers money from one wan to anoth

any more than if there were no gam

What was supposed to boa graveyard
Qfdead Indians* bones was found at Dan
bury, Connecticut, last summer. Tht
hole was reopened this spring for Georgt
C. Jones, of Brookfield, who har.kerec
after Indian relics. A skeleton was fount
without trouble, but near it was alsc
found an old-faabioned silver bull's-eye
watch, well preserved. Mr. Jones had
no faith in dude Indians who canied
watches, and the bones were reburied.
The spot is in the back yard of what used
to be a disreputable house, and there nre
local traditions of many murders having
been committed there, particularly of tht
mysterious disappearance of a Jew ped
dler frotn the place forty years ago. Now
people are wondering if these are bit
bones and watch.
The proposal to admit women to honor
examinations at Oxford University was
bitterly opposed by many of the promi

wtole a two-column letter for the Lon

molished them. In the course of her
letter she relates a capital story, fcr the
truth of which she vouches. "It has
been very interesting,” she says, "to
those who have had the opportunity of
watching the Cambridge experiments
from the outset to see the gradual down
fall of the prejudices at first widely enter
tained against having women students

a tripos examination, was opposed to tbe
whole movement, aud al that time wo
men had no right to be examined; they
could only be examined through the
grace and kindness of the examiners. A
Newnham student had asked to be exam
ined, aud the gentleman referred to,
finding that ha was tbe only one of the
four examiners who objected to admit
her, kindly waived his own objections,
and consented to look over her papers.
Whether from accident or design I know
not,'but, the lady did not sign her papers
with her Christian name in full—she only
put tbe initial before her surname, which
i shall now call Glover. After looking
over all tbe papers, the examiners met,
and tbe gentleman who al first declined
to examine Miss Glover said to bis
brother examiners.- ‘I don’t kaow what

DKISKS IN DISGUISE.
The other morning an old man walked
into the bar-room of a large downtown
hotel and glanced around as if looking for
someone, then stepped up to the bar and
ordered boldly a bottle of ginger ale. Two
things in the transaction were out of the
usual routine. The first wa? the man,
who generally passes about town as a tee
totaler. The second peculiarity was the
drink, which was half whisky, as the bar
tender acknowledged afterhis customer
had paid for the drink and slid out. "You
see,” sa d he, “we work the racket in
this style: I have an especial box in
which I keep these bottles to separate
them from tbe other stock. I prepare
the drink by first carefully removing tbe
tinfoil capsule from the neck of the bot
tle. I then takeout the cork, hastily
pour out about half of the ale, fill up the
bottle with whisky, quickly shove back
the cork and replace the capsule. I am
then ready to satisfy the desires of the
old codger and others like him.”
"Many of them? Yes, there are agood
many. The out and out professed teeto
talers are not so numerous, but there are
lots of business men, clerks, and young
fellows, who don't want it known that
they drink. We have two or three rooms
in the house where these men can drop
in and get their 'bracers’ and no one be
the wiser for it but themselves. We are
agood many dollars ahead at the end of
the year on account of this sly trade."
The bartender was interrupted by a
waiter coming up to the bar and order
ing a seltzer lemonade for Dr. So and-So,
who had just come down to breakfast.
"Here's another dodge," said the
mixer of drinks, as he poured into tie
glass of lemonade a stiff horn of Holland
gin. This being white in color, could
not be detected, even by the person who
sat next to the one who gave the order.
"He is a clergyman, a reverend doc
tor," observed the bartender, as the wait
er departed toward the dining-room.
"He has stopped here for the last ten
years whenever in the city, and of course
1 know his habits, but it wouldn't do for
mo to tell the good people of his parish
about some of his capers. He doesn’t
drink. Oh, nol He only takes a little
wine for his stomach's sake, but his
stomach can stand a good deal. He is not
the only one who conceals his appetite
for liquor by ths dinner-table scheme.
There is the wife of a well known repre
sentative, who is said by her friends to
be a brilliant after dinner conversational
ist. She becomes very bright and ani
mated, but I wonder what they would
think if they know the cause. In each
of the two little cups of mock coffee
which she drinks just before rising in the
morning is mingled a pony of the purest
French brandy, and it is this stimulant
which brings out her entertaining quali
i tier.”
Just then three well-dressed gentlemen
walked in and called for something to
drink, and as tbe bartender turned away
, to fill the order he said: "Don’t give me
, away, and some day I'll put you on other
, games whioh people work to deceive
their friends. ” Star.
A FAIR EXCHANGE HUT NO ROBBERY
Theodore Johnson was awakened about
12 Sunday night by an unusual noise in
the direction of his barn, lie rose, looked
out, and saw a man coming from the barn
with a bag on his shoulder. He dressed,
and set out to reconnoitre. He found all
right at the barn, but his henhouse show
ed signs of fowl play. He forthwith start
cd down tbe road in pursuit of the chick
en thief, whom he succeeded in overtak-
1 ing at the old tollgate, where, under the
shed near by, the robber was provided
' with a team by which to convey away bis
stolen booty. Mr. Johnson asked him
what he was doing, to which the follow
replied that he was moving. He was duly
informed that he bad been suffered to es
cape only from lack of preparation, and
he was given to understand by the plucky
owner of tbe chickens that he was ready
for business. Upon this the fellow asked
Mr. Johnson if he was alone. He replied:
"Y’es, but lam enough for you." The
thief then remarked that he had a friend
a short distance down the road, and that
he would get him, return, aud settle up.
After he had gone, Mr. Johnson went
back a short distance, and roused one of
his neighbors; they returned to the shed,
and remained there till daylight, but no
one appeared to claim either the horse,
wagon, or chickens. Mr. Johuson, there
fore, drove home with tbe horse and
wagon. He has 11 chickens in place of
the three stolen, and a horse and wagon
to boot. Mr. Johnson bad no arms, but
he evinced tbe courage of a brave man,
and tbe diplomacy of a shrewd one.—

FOREIGN FLASHES.
It is estimated that a million people
lined the streets to witness Victor Hugo's
body carried to the Pantheon. Not a
priest was to be seen. One reason for this
was that Hugo, in his last moments, de
clined the offer of tbe archbishop of
Paris to pray fbr him; another was that
after bis death the government issued a
decree secularizing the Pantheon, so
tbst Hugo's body might he laid there;
against this tbe priests protested:

A BICYCLER'S PERIL.
Little riding is possible all through
this section <»f Nevada, and ia order to
complete the 40 4 miles a day that I |
have rigorously imposed upon myself
sometimes get up and pull out by
daylight. It was scarcely more than
sunrise when, following the railroad
through Five mile Canon—another one
of the many mountain chains which
cross this part of Nevada in all direct
ions, under the general name of Tbe
Humboldt Mountains—l met with a
startling adventure. I was trundling
through the canon alongside the river,
when, rounding the sharp curve of a
projecting mountain, I saw a tawny
mountain lion trotting leisurely along
ahead of me, not over 100 yards in ad
vance. He did not see me; he was to
tally unconscious that he was “in the
presence.’’ A person of common sense
would simply have revealed his pres
ence by a gentle sneeze, or a slight noise
of any kind, when the lion would have
bolted immediately back into the un
derbrush. But I lay no claim what
ever to any of that rare virtue, and
consequently acted about as foolishly
as possible in the premises. I fancy
some reader has already guessed that
I slipped up behind the lion, and pull
ed his tail, or rode him down. I sim
ply fired at him, and of course missed
him, as a person naturally would at a
hundred yards with a bulldog revolver.
The bullet must, however, have smged
him a little, for, ere I got my features
into fit shape for the broad grin with
which I had promised to treat myself
at seeing him scoot for the brush, he
turned savagely round, and then came
bounding rapidly towards me, and at
20 paces crouched for a spring. Did
I grin when I saw him thus? Again,
nay. Laying bis cat like bead" almost
on the ground, his round eyes flashing
fire, and his tail waving angrily to and
fro, he looks savage and dangerous.
Crouching behind the bicycle, I fire at
him again. Nine times in ten a person
will overshoot'the mark with a revolver
under such circumstances, and, being
anxious to avoid this, I do tbe reverse,
and fire too low. The ball strikes the
ground just in front of his head, and
throws tbe sand and gravel in his face,
and perhaps in his wicked round eyes;
for he shakes his head, and seems to
recollect suddenly that he left some'
thing at home, and jumps up and
makes off into the the brush. I sha I
shed blood of some soil yet before I
leave Nevada. There isn't a day but
I shoot al something or other, and ail
I ask of nny animal is to come within
two hundred yards and I will squan
. der a cartridge on him, and I never
fail to hit—the ground.
NO TIME LIKEMTHE PRESENT.
A wedding, under unusual and quite
romantic circumstances, occurred in
this city yesterday. The suddenly ac
cepted groom is Loren F. Bishop, a
good-looking young man, who keeps a
bakery in East Des Moines. Yester
day Miss Mary Shoemaker, a pretty
miss with a merry laugh and pretty
figure that is the perfection of grace,
came into Mr. Bishop’s bakery to buy
some fresh rolls, and she looked at the
young baker in such an irresistible
way that be was quite beside himself
with admiration. “Miss Shoemaker,"
said he, “you look so pretty that I
have half a mind to go right with you
and get married.”
“1 never refuse a dare,” said the
pretty girl, with flushing checks and
eyes that sparkled with a roguish
light.
“Well, shall Igo and get my coat
and go and get a license?*’
“If yon want to you may, and I’ll
go with you, too."
The young man's face sobered down
a little, but he went and got his coat.
“Do you still want to go?” he gent
ly inquired.
“ W by, I thought it was you that
wanted to go,” said the maiden, hesi
tatingly.
"Well I do, but I thought may be
you would give it up."
“If that’s all, we’ll go," was the re
ply.
Loren was caught, and he had the
good sense to see it. They went to
the country court and got a license,
and before the sun set they were mar
ried.—Des .Vowim Special.

Mr*. II C Harshbarger, Manor Hill, ■
i Huntingdon County, Pa., writes- “Dr. S.
B. Hartman & Co., Columbus, O.: I
have been afflicted for three years, caused
by over-work too soon after confinement.
, My kidneys became seriously affected;
could not retain mv urine day nor night.
It was high colored, thick and bloody.
: My monthlies had left altogether for four
( teen months, during which time I was
confined to my lied with a beating in right
ovaries. The discharge from the womb
was so offensive no one could stay in the
room. The urine continued bloody, with
pain in voiding it. and when in lied would
1 pa»s from me in mv sleep. T have had
' three doctors attending me regularly, one
, for four months, one of the others one
whole summer, and the third all winter.
We had two other* in consultation with
them, and used twenty bottles of differ
ent kinds of patent medicines, all to no
good. I then got a bottle of Pehcsa,
and before I had three-fourths of the bot
tle taken I quit wetting the bed and could
retain the urine sufficient to attend church,
1 which I had not done for three vears,
1 and my monthlies came back as natural
as ever; indeed, I considered mvself a
, well woman again. Since that time I have
1 had pneumonia. My confidence in Pg
i xi’SA was so great that I did not send for
a doctor. I followed the direction* in
your “III* of Life” and am over it, as well
as can be expected of one so delicate as I
have been. Others in my neighborhood
, had the same disease, and among them
were strong men, and had the best physi
cians, and yet died, while I sailed through
in safety on Percxa and Manaus. I
sincerely believe, and would say to all the
afflicted in the wide world, that Peruxa
and Ma Salix are the only two medicines
that any one needs in any disease, if used
as directed in your book entitled "The lils
of Life.”
J. E. Fleming, publisher of the New
Dominion, Morgantown, W.Va. writes:
“ Some months since. I received some of
your medicine in exchange for advertis
ing. My wife has taken five bottles of it,
and has derived great benefit from it.”
Mr. M. C. Pershing, Bradenville. Pa.,
writes: “ My wife has been using Peru
Na for some time for weak lungs and liv
er and kidney complaint, and thinks it is
doing her great good. Has used only one
bottle as yet. Please send your book on
the ‘ Ills of Life,’ as we can’t get any from
our druggist.”
Mr. John Denny, Mt. Vernon,
writes : “ We have a large sale in Pz
runa. It gives satisfaction.”
