But Nevertheless He Wouldn't Go Down Town Without a- Necktie. - "Georgiana," said Mr. Dalrymple, "it seems to me that you spend alto- gether too muoh time worrying abent 'what other folks are likely to think about yoti. Why don't you follow my example and have a little independ- ence? As long as I know that I am do- ing my duty as a Haan what do I Dare how others like my style?" "I don't know," Mrs. Dalrymple ee- plied, "what yon mean. In whatay hays I been worrying about what of er folks think of me?" "Oh, in a hundred ways," her bus. band answered. "You wouldn't wear the waist you have on if it were not for the fact that all the other women wear . them and would think you couldn't afford it if you didn't have one. You Wouldn't care whether you had lace curtains at the windows if other folks didn't have them. You wouldn't spend money for a hundred and one other things that yon could get along with- out just as well as not if yon were not always trying to pose before other peo- ple." "Well," Mrs. Dalrymple assented, for she was not disposed to quarrel over the matter, "it is perhaps as you nay. 1 am sorry that it is so, but I can't help it. Aren't you afraid you'll be late at the office this morning? And jou. haven't put on your necktie this morn- ing. How did you come to forget it?" "By George!" he exclaimed, looking at his watch, "it's nearly 8 o'clock now. I don't know how I happened to forget my necktie. Where is it? I must hurry " "Oh, never mind the tie this morn- ing," his wife said. " You've got a clean shirt and collar on. Go without the tie." -"What!" shouted William DaIrym- ple. "Go down town without a necktie! You must think I'm crazy. Why, the boys in the office would guy the life out of me, and people would think I didn't have money enough to buy one. Here it is. Goodby." - Then Mrs. Dalrymple sat down and thought, and two little wrinkles with - merry curves appeared at the corners of her month.—Cleveland Leader. RE NONE D. UN -USUAL LEGAL DECISION. But It Was Emphatically Indorsed by the Spectator]. "1 heard the late Judge John R. Grace of the court cd appeals of Ken- tucky set aside the verdict of a jury once nyder oiroumstances that to my mind did him infinite credit,," said Rep- resentative John S. Rhea of that state to a Washington Post representative. "It -seems that a poor woman, who. was on the verge of starvation and who was the sole support of four little chil- dren, went into a neighbor's smoke- house and purloined a piece of bacon. The proof was positive, and - the jury reluctantly returned a verdict of guilty. When the finding of the jury was read, Judge Grace, who at that time presided over the Fourteenth judicial district, rising to bis felt, said in the most em- phetio tones: "'The conrtorders that the verdict in this case be het aside, and I want to declare here that in all oases where an unfortunate woman is on trial for steal- ing good, taken to keep her offspring fro3n starving, it will require 13 men to convict her of the crime in this court. The defendant is discharged from cus- tody.' "The announcement was gr ted . with applause from the spectators,, and the general sentiment was that .J dge Grace had acted not only as befitted a chivalrous man, but that his r ling was right. Theft to keep inn nt babes from perishing of h'nnger oan scarcely be called a crime." Having removed into the store formerly occupied by Mr. J. Downey, in the Cady Block, opposite the Commercial Hotel, I now purpose carrying a full and complete ine of all kinds of Harness, Whips, Blankets, And everything handled by the trade.

The up to date woman wears her cross if she is so fortunate as to paesess one. As an article of jewelry this sym- bol of suffering is as popular as it was in the days of the grandmothers. When .the grandmothers were girls, the pos- session of 'a handsome bejeweled prose that could be wore as a pin, a hair or- nament or a locket amounted almost to id badge of aristocracy. The black ones, studded with diamonds ore pearls, or both, were highest in favor, as they are today. The fashionable Dross must be antique looking. Not everybody's grandmother possessed - one, however, so the jewelers have come to the rosoue of the woman who did not fall heir to one and are bringing out exquisite de- signs in Roman gold. Most of them are studded with precious stones, and many have backgrounds of black enamel.. It is by no means a taking form of per- sonal adornment, but the women: like it.—New York Sun. — His Last Law Case.. I The tate William S. Groeebeok of Cincinnati never took another law' case after his defense of, President Andrew Johnson. "The brilliant speech which won that case," says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, "proved the man's remarkable will and intellectual pow -era He bad been so ill as to be confined to his bed.:and on the day of the trial, and while lying in bed, be jotted own on a sheet of foolscap paper the main points of his defense. He was driven to the tribunal in a carriage, unable to walk, and spoke extempore for four hours and a half. At the close article 11 was voted upon and the president acquitted without the taking up o ' any of the other articles. Since that time Mr. Groesbeck bad lived a life of quiet and retirement. In 1872 he built}Elm- horst, a noble house of superb p opor- tions, commanding a river view of un- surpassed beauty."

SAFE OPENING AN ART. An r'.zpert Who Net Many c :-' 'feu awl Overcame Them. - Opening refractory vaults, safes and burglar proof chests is a science in Jtaelf and is surrounded by the utmosSecreoy by those who make a living opt of it. In a tape to the Chicago Post a man who has been in the business 40 years said:I "The essential qualification which a successful safe opener must possess is an intimate and instinctive knowledge of the mechanism and workings_ of every variety of combination lock. He must be 'born to the profession and possess acute mechanical perception. "Nearly every obstinate safe which I am called upon to open presents unique conditions demanding new and individ- ual treatment. The nature of the diffi- culty must be correctly diagnosed in ad- vance or the lock will remain obdurate, jar machinery does not move by chance. "The biggest bait ever held out to me came in the form of a proposal from a detective with whom I was well ac- quainted. It had been supposed that the locks made by a certain firm of safe manufacturers were proof against the manipulations of burglars and experts, but a few days before I was approached by the detective I had been called upon to open one of these safes and had suc- ceeded. The incident gave rise to muoh comment. "As I was aiding alone in my office the detective entered and asked me if I did not wish to make somemoney. I replied that I was in business for just that purpose. He then questioned me closely as to my ability to open the par- ticular kind of lock in question. When satisfied that I was easily able to dotso, he said: "'I'll ball you bow yon can grab off #100,000 without the least trouble. The boys know where there is a safe of this .kind which. contains $200,000 in pa- per currency. It is easy to get at, and all you'll have to do is to walk in, after they have opened the way, unlock the safe, take out $100,000 and leave the re- mainder for them. It's the easiest kind " of money.' "By 'the boys' the deteotve meant a notorious gang of burglars which had been conducting a series of daring oper- ations. I told the detective that I bad been mnch given to card playing in my youth, thus acquiring a strong prefer- ence for a lone hand, and that this pre- dilection had become too firmly fined to be changed. He took the hint and left my office as soon as possible." Ptir4st and Best for Table and Dairy So adulteration, Never cakes., SEWING ON MEN-OF-WAR. How a Sailor May Add Something to His Pay From Uncle Sam. - Visitors on board war vessels in the navy yard will very likely see among the sailors scattered about the decks smoking, talking and so on a sailor at work with a sewing machine. It is a hand machine and has a pretty heavy base, so that it can be set down on deck and worked easily without shifting its position. The machine isowned by the man working it. On a.big ship like, for ex- ample,the battleship Indiana, carrying a Brew of 400 men or more, there would probably be found as many as a dozen sewing machines. On a third rate cruiser, a smaller vessel, such, for il- luetration, as the Detroit, there would be apt to be four or five sewing ma- chines. The machines are oftenest owned by sailmakers and sailmakers' mates, but they may be owned by sail- ors. Any man on the chip might have a sewing machine if he wanted to. -Space is valuable on a vessel, and so only hand machines are allowed, and to bring a machine aboard permission must be got from the commanding offi- cer. It is not to be supposed that every man in the ship would want a sewing machine. A13 a matter of fact compara- tively few men do, and those who want to take one aboard are not likely to find any difficulty in the way. A sailor who has a sewing machine makes and repairs garments for him- self and be does work for others for pay. There are not so many sewing ma- chines on the vessels of the new navy as there were on those of the old. The sailer nowadays makes up less of his own outfit than be formerly did. He draws more completed articles from the government, but there is still plenty of work to be done aboard ship with sew- ing machines, and some money to be made with them yet. —New York Sun.

Row Its Inhabitants Amused Themselves a Century or Two Ago. The Londoner in the long past might retire to Bagnigge Nelle, near the pres- ent King's Cross, or Florida gardens, Brompton (Brompton was noted 100 years ago for its "salubrious air"), or the Marylebone gardens and Bowling Green, mentioned by Pepys as "a pretty place" so long ago as 1668, or the Bayswater Tea gardens, which flour- ished till after the middle of the pres- ent century, there to sit in a summer house overgrown with honeysuckle and !, sweetbrier, drinking tea, then held in much esteem as a fashionable beverage, and eating cheese cakes, "heart cakes," Chelsea buns,.syllabubs, jellies, creams, hot loaves, rolls and butter, while a band performed a concerto by Corelli or the last new composition by Mr. Handel, "The Master of Musick," or a singer gave the last new song by Dr. Arne. Afterward his visitors might enjoy the privilege of drinking new milk from the cow and picking flowers and fruit, "fresh every hour in the day," a great attraction, doubtless, for Londoners at a period when fruit and flowers were neither so cheap nor so abundant in the metropolis as they are at present. Nor were more artificial amusements Iacking. Jot addition to illuminations, fireworks and masquer- ades, attended by the world of fashion from princes downward, there were miscellane'ous entertainments of every sort. A high scaffolding was erected in Marylebone gardens in 1736 for a pred- ecessor of Blondin palled "the flying man," who was advertised to fly down on a rope pushing a wheelbarrow before him. In May, 1785, Lnnardi, the first aeronaut who went up in a balloon in England and was quaintly called "the first aerial traveler in English atmos- phere" by contemporary prints, de- scended unexpectedly one afternoon in the Adam and Five Tea gardens in the neighborhood of Tottenham Court road, then a resort of fashion, - and was up- roariously welcomed by the populace in acknowledgment of his flight, Later on aeronautic flights became a special feature of all these pleasure gardens. Ponds oonteining goldfish—a novelty in the middle of the eighteenth century —were reckoned as another of their special attractions and were advertised as "gold and silver fish, which afford pleasing ideas to every spectator."— Temple Bar. eleassermisenumoim MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, SEAFORTH, ONTARIO. NO WITNESSES REQUIRED. Japanese English. The Rev. Masazao Kagaren brought me a present of a tin of native preserved apricots put up at Nagano, bearing the inscription, "This apricots is very sweetest." Another tin—I think it was a sort of Japanese "Liebig"—was still more remarkably inscribed: "All the medicines of our company used to sell are not only manufactured of the pure and good material, but also, unless the article are inspected by the superin- tendent, they not sealed. It is tree that their quality is best. If tbere was sus- pection about it, trust on official exami- nation. If even in the slightest neglect the result is not good, our company should be responsible for it. Beware the trademark, sealing wax and wrap - p r of our company." In this connec- tion I may remark on the curious signs in English (?) composed in cheerful in- dependence of outside help. I have seen the equivalent of the English "man- gling done here" rendered "the ma- chine for smoothing the wrinkles in the trousers" and "Washman, ladies only," "Clothing of woman tailor, ladies fur- nished in upper story," "Instraoted. by the French horse leech," Ohio adorned the door of a veterinary surgeon and re- ferred to the tuition under which the gentleman was trained.). — - From "-Mountaineering In the Japanese Alps," by Rev.

Before I had used, one bottle my health improved, and the medi- cine effected a complete cure. I can highly recommed SLOAN'S INDIAN TONIC for all nervous disorders. It is an ideal Blood Purifier and will do all that is claimed for it. I will be pleased to give any information I can to any 0110 similarly effected. Since using the medicine It have had no return of the disease, I have increased greatly in weight, and now enjoy perfect health. All Dealers or address The Sloan Medicine Co., of Hamilton, LIMITED.
