He has unlimited means at hie dis-

standing his immeuse advantages, the
Times correspondent is often beaten
without occasioning the slightest
sense of discomfort to the journal
which spends such great sums for
news. The Times correspondent at
Rome has a house given him by his
paper. He is the only Americana
employed on the paper in a promi-
nent position. His name is William
J. Stillman. IIe is a very tall man
with a very tall wife, and has six
daughters whose average height is
nea►lyosix feet. He has therefore six
able assistants to aid hien in picking
up news at Rome. He has been there
many years. He is much the best
correspondent at Rome. The Times
is supposed to have the best corres-
pondent at Paris. Blowitz,the Times
correspondent, is paid £3,000 a year
and is allowed a liberal sum for ex-
penses, but be has passed his day as a
correspondent. The Daily News has
much better Paris information. The
Daily Telegraph is also in advance of
the Times in Paris matters. Blow its
writes very interesting despatches
upon the subject of European politics,
but he does not keep up with current
news compared with his rivals. The
Daily Telegraph is represented by
Cambbell Clark at Paris, who is Bon-
in -law to Lawson,one of the principal
proprietors. He has a handsome
office. His reports under the head of
' Paris Day by Day' are more in ac-
cordance with the gossiping news
character of the American papers
than any other feature of the London
morning journals. The Telegraph
correspondents at Vienna and Berlin
are also considered the best. These
correspondents, however, devote too
much space to the Bulgarian question
And are too speculative in romancing
concerning meetings and interviews
of prominent personages. Of actual
news and current affairs they send but
little, and in. the event of a great
catastrophe like an earthquake in
Italy or tremendous loss of life
through some calamity they are to
apt to depend upon the representative
news agencies instead of going out
and dropping for a time their states-
manlike discussions of European
politics in order to become good
news reporters. But if they were to
so do I doubt very much whether
such conduct would be appreciated or
approved by their managers.

are served up to all who can afford
to pay for these luxuries. They are
expensive. The flesh of black cats
and dogs is much more highly prized
than that of dogs and cats of auy
other color, and the unskinned tail is
left on the animal to prevent any de-
ceptiqu being practiced on the put

which I had bets o much attached,
but the hungry glances cast by the
coolies upon that unoffending quadru-

of the richest mandarins in China,
and he took us to bis house and in-
troduced us to his wives. They were
much powdered and rouged. Tbeir
feet were about three inches long
and their finger -nails from five to
seven inches longer. In order to
keep the nails from breaking they
were slipped into gold sheaves, which
dangled aimlessly from the poor little
skinny fingers. H'owqua's wives were
not things of beauty, though I am
quite prepared to believe that they
may be joys for ever.—Philadelphia

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITS.
Counterfeits are always dangerous,
more ho that they always closely imi-
tate the original in appearance and
name. The remarkable auccess ac-
chieved by Nasal Balm as a positive
cure for Catarrb and Cold in the head
hes induced unprincipled parties to
imitate it. The public are cautioned
not to be deceived by nostrums imi-
tating Nasal Balm in name and ap-
pearance, bearing such names as Nas-
al Cream, Nasal -Balsam, etc. Ask
for Nasal Balm and do not take imi-
tation dealers may urge upon you.

DRIVEN TO DESPERATION
St` Paul, Minn., January 26,—The
people of Beardsly, Minn., a small
town 150 miles west of St. Paul, are'
getting desperate. On Tueaday a
number of farmers drove into that
place atter fuel, and there being none
tore down the railroad company's
snow fences and hauled away several
loads. '
Henry Stonebraker, who arrived
here yesterday from Beardsley. tells
a bloodcurdling talent' the suffering
of his neighbors. He said:—"Since

THEY ' MEAN BUSINESS.'
If any one has ever given Dr -Sage's
Catarrh Remedy° a fair trial and has
not been cured thereby, the manufac-
turers of that unfailing Remedy would
like to hear from that individual, for
when they offer, as they do, in good
faith, $500 reward for a case of nasal
catarrh which they cannot cure, they
mean just exactly what they say.
They are financially resporieible, and
abundantly able, to make good their
guarantee if they fail, as any one can
.learn by making proper enquiry.
Remedy sold by all druggists, at 00
cents.
TFIE SNOW BIRD BUSINESS.
Hunting snow birds on South
State street and the avenues,' says the
Chicago Tribune, 'is a mere profitable
business than hunting ducks in the
Indiana marshes. Few persons are
familiar with this fact, but it is true,
nevertheless. The palate of the epi-
cure must be tickled in -some way;
ducks and reed birds are too common
but snow birds, it would appear, fill
the long felt want. There are millions
of them on the South Side, and they
are being shot and trapped at every
opportunity. The small boy does
considerable toward supplying the
wants of restaurant proprietors, but
the business has so suddenly develop-
ed that grown men have turned snow
bird hunters, and, with reasonable
good luck, can make from $1.50 to
2.50 per day. The birds are whole -
'aided at 50 cents per dozen, and four
of them go to make a meal, which
costs the purchaser 50 Cents. The
restaurant man, it will be seen, bas a
profit of $1 on an investment of 50
Bents. So it is apparent that there is
money in the business for every one
directly interested.'

A Famous Doctor
Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayer's Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of
Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer'd
Pills as the best of all remedies for
" Intermittent Fevers."
Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn„ says: "Ayer'. Pilla are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. I make daily use of them
in my practice."
Dr, Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass.,
says : "-Having prescribed many thou-
sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce thein the
best cathartic in rise."
The Massachnsotts State Assayer, Dr.
A. A. Ifayes, certifies : " I have mads a
careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They
contain the active principles of well-
known drugs, isolated from inert mat-
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
