The Border Line.
Do any of onr poopio ever query
how the dividing lino bol'vncn the
United States and the Dominion of
Canada is marked, and how travel¬
ers in those wild regions northwest
of tho Great Lakes can tell when
they stop from the domains of Un¬
cle Sam into those of Quecu Vic¬
toria ? For many years tho ques¬
tion of boundary between the Unit¬
ed States and the possessions of
Great Britain was discussed, and at
last, at tho convention of London,
held in 1818, iho forty-ninth paral¬
lel of north latitude was decided
upoo. A parallel of latitude, bow.
evor, being an imaginary line, is a
very poor guide to a traveler, so
the next thing to do was to mark
that line so that ail who passed that
way should know where it was lo¬
cated. - . ,
Accordingly, tho country in that
vicinity was surveyed, and monu¬
ments were' set up at even miles
intervals, the British placing one
between every two of ours. -These
extend from the Lake of the Woo.ds
to thejdocky Mountains. Where
the line enters forests, the timber
is cut down, the ground cleared a
yard wide;“where it crosses small
lakes, stone cairns have been b 4 ui|t,
sometimes Doing eighteen feet un
dcr water and eight above; in oth¬
er places earth mounds, 7x14 feel
have been built. The most Of these
monuments, which number 888 in
all, arc pi iron. It was found that
tbo most solid wooden posts wero
not proof against the ravages of the
Indians, pfarie fires, and the weath¬
er, so that nothing but iron would
do. These pillars are hollow iron
castings fitted over solid cedar
posts, and well bolted through and
are sunk four feet into the ground.
They are eight feet high, eight inch
es square at the base, four at the
top, and on opposite sides facing
tho north and south are the inscrip¬
tions in letters two inches high:
“Convention of London ' and ‘'Oc¬

Mistaken for Wflttuuiiiaker.
One of the most striking cases of
facial resemblance in public life,
writes the correspondent of the
Chicago Herald, Jis that of Con¬
gressman Goodknight of Kentucky
and Postmaster General Wanna
roaker- Mr. Goodknight Was in
the Houso restaurant to day driok
ing a glass of the famous beverage
of his state, when an elderly and
spectacled man approached him and
oxclaimed::
“Why, Mr. Wannamaker, what
are you doing ?’’
“Simply taking a drink of whis¬
key,” said tho Congressman.
“Then-then yon do drink whis¬
key, Mr. Wannamaker?’ gasped
tho old gentleman.
“Why, cortainly.” -
The stranger lifted his hands in
holy horror and apparently over
cjibc by tbo discovery, muttered,
that “the tolks up in
won’t believe it when I tell ’em, ”
and moved away.
“That is the only way ih which
I can get even with Wannamaker
for looking like me,” said Mr.
Goodknight. “This is the third or

Rhapsody On Tobacco.
•‘Now, as to my toast, 1 am call¬
ed upon to speak for the diuir.c
plant called tobacto. I have loved
it all my life— that is einee I was
fO years old, and I liked tha first
chew of old plug I put into my
mouth a^welljjas I do now. There’s
too much hypocricy about tho use
of tobacco. Thousand use it and
lie about it 1 want you to use it
and defend its use, because it adds
something to the value and happi¬
ness of life. In spite of tho thun¬
ders of tho pulpit and the anath¬
emas of physician , its use is in¬
creasing, and this is* because the
brain of man eravos it. What
wotl I we do without it ? Think
of waiting for a train without to¬
bacco! Think of crouching in the
deadly rifls pit without tobacco ?
What would tboso do who add val
ue to life by spanning the world
with tho rainbows of hope with¬
out tobaccoJT All use tobacco and
are tho better for it Ilave the
courage of your happinoss and de¬
fend its use.
“Tobacco is a luxury and on that
account 1 want the tax on it re
moved. No matter what necessa¬
ries cost, I want cheap luxuries.
They say luxuries should be taxed
because the rich pay for them.
Why, labor pays all the taxes in
the world ! It is tho only solvent
thing beneath the stars! The dia¬
monds which glisten on the bosom
of beauty are paid for by labor. I
want tobacco absolutely free in
these United ^States. [Applause.]
Some want poor devils to do all
the work in this world and smoke
in tha next. I want thorn to smoko
in this. Tho fames which arose
from the pipe of pr nco of the Indi¬
an were as different from tho clouds
of war as hoaven and hell—are
thcro any such places?
“Tobacco is tbo best plant that
grows on the face of the earth.
Personally, I would rathor do with¬
out any other vegetable. I ..pity
tho ancients, who’had to do with¬
out, it, and I envy Columbus, who
was the fl/sC Europeon to sec its
smoko risa over the lair isle of Cu
ba. This new world has given no
better gift to mankind than the
celestial loaf. Gentleman, giyc
us straight goods, and future gen
orations will rise up and call you
blessed.”
. “Dont Give up the Ship!”
Dou’t surrender, although tho
fight be long and bitter, and re¬
sults thus far bat dismal failures.
Old Bad.BIopd may yet be con
queied and disease driven from tho
citadel of life. You have not used
the proper remedy, or long ngo
yon would have felt a change.
You have tried this and that, a hun¬
dred bottles of this specific and fif¬
ty bottles of tho sarsaparilla, and
feel you might as well have used so
much rain water for all tho good
effect they had. Why havo you
not tried B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm) mado in Atlanta, Ga.? Be¬
cause it isn’t advertised so conspiv
ciously as othor remedies? Well,

A. Veritable Jail Bird’.
One of the most interesting spec¬
imens on exhibition.at tho Smith¬
sonian “Zoo'' in Washicgton, is a
! monkey-faced owl, born xnd bred
in tho district jail. Truly bo is a

Admit tho Forco of tho Argu

Several years ngo, beforo ho bo
came a member of congress, Kcp
rcsentativo Crisp of Georgia was a
judyo, writes a New York Tribune
eon espondent. While traveling
ono, day on his circuit tho trace
which fastened his buggy broke
and* tho judge spent half an hour of
kisyaluablo time in a vain endeav¬
or to repair thedamngo. While he
was vonting.bis'Abgbr on tho trace
* nd the world in general, a negro
camo along. Mr. Crisp told him
ol his trouble. Tho negro lot oul
tho trace, cut a hole in the leather,
and the job was done.
“Why on earth didn’t I IhiDk of
that?’’ remarked the judge more to
himself than 10 tho negro.
"Well, don’t you know, mnrster.
some folks is jest natur’ly smarter
than t ’othor,’’ said tho colored
man. »
.“Perhaps you are right,” admit¬
ted tho judge: “bu.. what shall I
give you for fixing tho traco?”
“ ’Poors to mo 50 cents would
bo ’bout right, marster,” was the
answer. *
“WhaC Fifty, cents! Why, you
^
w.cre’nt three minutes doing it. M
“O, marster, you don’t suppose I
charge you 50 cents for doing jost
dat. I only charge yoU a quarter
for the job. The^other quarter is
for knowing how to do it. ’
The judge admitted there was
some philosophy io tHo explana¬
tion, and paid for both services
without another murmur.
No Honor Among Thieves.,
“There is talk o i honor rmong
thieves; it's all bosh, as their ac¬
tions show;” was the sententious
remark ef Inspector Byrnes tho
othor day. The official who has
had moio to do with the famous
and infamous among criminals
than any man in Amorica manifes¬
ted no hesitancy in upsetting the
old adage, whose sentiment has
done not a little to throw a glam¬
our over robbers and their deeds,
lie spoko witb deliberation, as il
he summed up his experience of
years iii those few words. Tho in
speclor also said that the maxim ol
self-preservation is the first law of
nature found no contradiction as
applied to thieves. They stoop to
nothing to save themselves from
punishment, and betray their com
paniona in crime without tho .light
rat compunction of conscience In'
many, :r if not most, instances these
betrayals of coupanions in crime
are made voluntarily, solely with
tbo thoinioM intent fn to .on— secure a light ,- penalty ,
