How to Get Rid of a Crowd.
The late Prince George generally
dined on his balcony, during which
time his Cossacks played delightful
airs from tlie Russian operas. Crowds
of people,came to stare most rudely, so
one evening there was a very dis
agreeable smoke which swept over
them and drove them away. I had tlie
curiosity to .find out tlie meaning. A
stove had been tilled witli bark and
leaves and placed in such a position
that the smoke .was driven right into
the faces of the people, aud I could
imagine the quiet laugh that' went

Roundlap Bales Made Colton
Higher.
Wherever The American Cotton Com
pany's Ronndlap presses were operated
last season, higher prices prevailed for
cotton whether baled round or square.
In order to get cotton, sqnare-bale buy
ers were obliged to pay more than the
market price, and more than cotton was
selling for in neighboring towns where
there was not a Ronndlap plant. In
some cases the preminm paid by sqnare-
box ginners in competition with Ronnd
lap gins during the greater part of the
season was as much as balf-a-cent per
ponnd above the price ruling at other
old-style gins in the same connty. The
inevitable result followed. Cotton (and
the owner’s trade with it) was drawn for
long distances to Ronndlnp points to
the profit of the entire community,and
at the expense of towns that did not
enjoy the advantages of round bale
competition.
The effect of such object lessons has
been a demand for Ronndlap presses
for next Beason which will tax the full

A Rascally Valet.
Von Bmison told me that Humboldt
In his latter daj’s was completely un
der the Influence of a rascally valet
named SeitTert. aud. to the disgust of
his friends, bequeathed to him .all his
effects, of little value. It is true, for the
old man left no property of any ac
count. Even his private’ letters and
papers went to the wretch.
The king and the queen, said V,on
Bunsen, were for years In the habit of
sending Humboldt a ° present on his
birthday. At length it became diffi
cult to know what would be acceptable
to the old man. whose wants were so
few and tastes so simple. It was their
habit to send an aid-de-camp to him a
few weeks before his birthday to as
certain. if he could, tlie sort of gift
likely to he most acceptable to him.
and whatever that might be’ of course,
it was sent.
Shortly previous to one of these an
niversaries. and iu reply to a similar
inquiry, the royal couple got word that
the philosopher would he pleased to
receive a double bed. They wondered
wlmt In the world could have put it
into Humboldt’s head to ask for a
double bed. having probably never
slept in one in all his life and having 1
been habituated from childhood to the
least luxurious sleeping arrangements
imaginable.
The old man died, however, before
the-expected birtInlay anniversary ar
rived. It then transpired that the
provident valet had concluded it would
be a nice thing for him and his wife to
have a spick and spau uew bed with
the royal arms upon it. and had taken
advantage, of; the king's regard for
Humboldt to try getting one at their
majesties’ expense.-John Bigelow in

THE GREAT SJRJRIIVG MEDICINE.
JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Htrve Energizer, is the
greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from
heaven to <he “worn out,” the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That “tired
feeling,” those “sinkingspells,” the languor and despondency which arise from bad$ nour
ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and’ an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic
spell. The weariness', lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany^ the spring,
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of
neurasthenia,>nd all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve
tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers'and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith
ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method ip the good oldjimes, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral
agents. It was expected by this lreatmenrthat the poison could be killed while the blood
was left to course through its.channals holding in its circulation the specific germs of the
disease. But in this way; eveiy part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru
lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de
cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys. Iiyer or stomach. There is only one
scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION! Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels,
liver and skin. “ First pure, then peaceable.” The great restorative, reconstructive and
vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex
haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals,
and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. “The blood is
the life.” Good health means pure blood. The old and.reliable remedy, JOHNSTON’S
SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov
ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil.
Grotesque Warriors.
Here is a fetching description of a
military review which we-cull from
Mr. Harold Gorsts’ book on China:
“At one extremity of the field there
was raised on a slight elevation of the
ground a platform shaded by an Im
mense red parasol and ornamented
with lanterns, streamers and some
large lanterns that did not seem par
ticularly necessary, as the sun was
shining in full splendor. The Inspector
extraordinary of the imperial army
and the principal civic. and .military
mandarins of the town were on the
platform, seated in armchairs before
little tables covered with te^i things
and boxes filled with excellent tobacco.
The moment arrived to begin. A little
culverin that stood near the platform
was tired off. the military judges cov
ering their ears with their hands tp
protect them from Che frightful detona
tion, then a yellow flag was hoisted to
the top of one of the forts*, the tom
toms sounded a furious charge, and
the soldiers rushed togethdfT pellmell,
uttering terrible cries and grouping
themselves around the flag of their
company.
“It is impossible to Imagine any
thing more whimsical and comic than
the evolutions of the Chinese soldiers.
They advance, draw back, leap, pirou
ette, cut capers, crouch behind their
shields, as if to watch the enemy, then
jump up i'.gain, distribute blows right
and left aud then run away with all
their might, crying, ‘Victory, victory!’ ”

Mr. Kimberley’* Nimble Wit.
James G. Blaine was . nonplused
once while he was secretary of statu.
One of tlie applicants for a consulate
in’Japan was the late Samuel Kimber
ley of Baltimore, who died in the serv
ice in Central America. After he had
presented his credentials Mr. Blaine
said:
“I should like to appoint you, Mr.
Kimberley, but I have made it a rule
to recommend no one who does not
speak the language of the country to
which he is sent Do yon speak Jap
anese?”
“Cert-t-tainly, Mr. B-Blaine,” stam
mered Mr. Kimberley. “A-a-ask me
s-s-somethiug in J-J-Japanese anti I'll
answer you.”
Mr. Blaine hadn't a word to say, but
the Japanese post went to another
man, ail the same, and Kimberley
went to Central America.
Another story is told-of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.
One day he met a young woman who
threw iter arms impulsively around his
neck and kissed him. Seeing her mis
take, she drew back and angrily nsk-

“There is a familj* in Virginia,” says
Collier’s Weekly, “the name of which
is spelled. ‘Enroughty/ but It is pro
nounced ’DarbyThis fact, familiar lame back, kidney, bladdi

changed his written name to Ku-

Derby.
“On hearing this explanation Mr.
Kipling said. ’I think I will change my
name to flriiitli.’ ‘You can spell it
Smith if you like.’ was the reply, ‘but
it will always he pronounced Kipling,’
a remark which caused him to look *as
unfeigned*y pleased a boy.’ ”
