Flow tie -Astonished the Old The old admiral, whose long sea service had given his legs a decided outward cur• veture, once had a singular adventure on this account with a ship hi pet. The crew of the ship owned a large black spaniel, and took great pains in teaching him to jump- A man standing up would pat one foot against his other knee, thus making 4 hole for Nap, the dog, to make his bine through. The dog always jumped through the aperture readily, through if his trainer's legs happened to be short, it was a tight squeeze. One day the admiral came abroad from thpate inflaggtseliiPon walk to the forward part of the a visit of inspection. Hap. ohne he stood there for a tow minutes con• versing with the offieer who bad attended him. Here he was spied by the dog. Nap stood a moment surveying the admiral's bow legs. Suddenly the dog made a rush at the legs, and a mad leap through the tempting gap. In estoniehment at the black tornado that bad passed beneath him, the admiral whirl. ed quickly about to see what was the cause. Tire dog took this action as a signal 'for an 4 encore,' and jumped again. Once more the admiral turned, and again the dog jumped. The bewildered face of, the admiral had the serious attention of Nap to what he -imagined was his business were too much for the gravity of the bystanders,atid, forgetting the respect due to rank, they all roared with laughter. A sailor, however, !rad enough presence - of mind to break from the crowd and catch the dog by the coller. ts He led him off, and Nop seemed to wonder why he did not, re- e•eive the praise due to such spirited effonts. The excited admiral got but an imperfect explanation of the affeir from the spectators, for they could hardly tell him that his legs bad been used as a circus hoop for a fore- castle nog. Perhaps to his dying day the occurrence was a myetery.—San Francisco Argonaut, • Chronic Bronchitis. Ray. J. N.

Waiting at the union depot was a roun faced man with an attractive countenanc eyes that invite confidence, and rather Ion hair that waved from a fine forehead. H was dressed in clericals, and looked th part. When the old farmer took a sea after buying a ticket for Ypsilanti, the tw, fell into conversation, The minister brought the talk around t pickpockets and men who do you out o your money, arid expressed a great dread o them. He clung to this topic until th noise of a row was heard from the outside and he expressed a desire to see what wa the matter " Come on," he shunted, as he started. No' my friend," replied the farmer 4i not ifyou have any money about you. I is sure to be taken from you in a rough crowd like that." " Here you hold it and my watch until I ran out a few minutes, and then I'll hold your valuables while you go." " All right, don't be too long," and the farmer -accepted hie trust. When the minister returned the farmer was gone. Never did a clerical masquerade come to a quicker end. He rushed around mattering things profane, kept his hand in his pocket and told everybody but the policeman that he could lick any farmer that ever wore shoe leather, Half an hour ater he was in a saloon making things blue. A Proper Treatment for Catarrh, reaclies every affected part. Such a remedy is rJatairrhozoge, whieb is inhaled into all portions of the throat, lungs and nasal paa'. sages, where it kills the germs, and cures the disease. Catarrhozone is pleasant, safe and absolutely sure to cure. It relieves the distressed feeling in the head, clears the throat and noetrils oneebreath. Positive proof of cure is found in the wards of Mr. Kirk, of Kingston, Ont., who says : " suffered for fifteen years from Catarrh of the nose and throat, used hundreds of remedies, consulted specialists, but was not perman- ently benefitted. Having personally wit- nessed a cure of thirty years standing,effect- ed by Catarrhozone, I bought an outfit and used it for a month. It cured me, and I am now no more liable to Catarrh than if I never had it." This is most convincing testimony from one of Kingston's best known and most highly respected business men. It proves beyond question that Catar. rhozene absolutely cures Catairh. It never fails; never harms ; gua.ranteed to cure. Price $1.00 ; small size 25 cents.

There are sugar bas- kets and balsa and native sugar of various grades, tobacco, coffee, indigo, dyestuffs, eocoanut fibre and oil, and the beautiful and wouderfully delicate lints cloth, made from pineapple iibre. Most abundant of all is the bamboo,which the Filipino adapts to every coneeivable,use. There are bedsteads of bamboo, chaits, halo, brushes, milk jars, rakes, rafts, and strangest of all,murtical instrumento. Hard- ly less important is rattan, of which the native constructs baskets, balls, mats and numerous other household articles. The balm leaf is everywhere in evidence, for roofs, hate, cloaks, fans, baskets, eto. he collodion includes all kinds of 'fishery apparatus, lines, n to, rafts, boats, baskets, etc. The tools of the various trades are ale° well represented, shah as a complete car- tienters- kit, carriage and ,harness makers' tools, masons' toots, a tinsninth's outfit, far- tiern implements, etc. Visitors find much to intereat, them in the household utensils and appliances, net the least curious of Which are the little earthenware stoves, of Which no well-appointed kitchen contains less than half a dozen.

Once, it is reported, a Scotch _ friend of his, whom he likes very much, went home with him one night aftei a concert in Glasgow. Both gentlemen sat down to tea and cigar- ettes, and As midnight struck they had not yet exchanged a word. Finally the guest risked a bold and novel query, " Do you like Beethoven ?" ' Rubinstein emptied his cup and said soft- ly, "Beethoven good." Half an hour later came another question, ' And how do you like Wagner ?" To which Rubinatein, throwing away a cigarette, replied, " Wagner—not good." Having exhausted his stock of inquisitive. nese, the Scotch friend of the Russian pian- ist got up to beg his host a pleasant rest). ' Stay yet, my friend," said Rubinstein ; "I like your conversation very much." And both remained still drinking tea and smoking cigarettee in profound silence until 3 a. in. struck, when they winhed 'one an. other good night and parted.—Tit-Bits, London.

There is a distinguished divine in Detroit who took some advice the other. day from the church janitor that he would have re- sented from any other member of his, con- gregation or attendant at his services. He's an old man of very decided views," relates the minister. " Us is loyal beyond compare and take an interest in the church that many other, members might well emu- late.

Nothing was heard from him, and the ladyeill at ease about the ease, wrote to the Japanese through whom she had engaged him, making a particular point of the wages due him.

The following is given by a man who has successfully used it on twenty different occasions : "It you aren't afraid to get out on the road directly in front of them. They may try to avoid you, but keep right in front of them. You must think quickly. See which horse is running hardest; he is the better horse, and is the one to nail, In almost every runaway you will find one of them galloping and the other running and jumping, with his big black eyeballs almost spurting out of his head, and his nostrils like the bell of a trumpet. He is the one that is doing the mischief, and will run until he dies. He is the one you must take. _1' When they get within a few feet of your they will no longer attempt to swerve ; they are going over your body if you stand there. -Wait until they are so closeyou can feel their breathe Then step aside as quickly as possible ; step on the outside of the vicious horse. Here comes the test, and you must step aside just in the nick of time. " Get your arm securely around your horse's neck. Don't be afraid ; he is too busy running to think of shaking you off. Then you will find that your feet are strik. 1311111111111111, II1E BOILS. FOUR RUNNING SORES. The T.

It is : Cream of tartar, one half ounce ; rhubarb, 12 grains ; cold water, 1 pint. The dose is a quarter to half a pint. In severe cases a halnpint dose should be administered. In cases char. acterized by delerium, great benefit may be obtained by applying a bottle of hot water to the feet, . Plenty of fresh air Is Import- aut,and out -door airing at the earliest period practicable is recommended. When applied in the earliest stage, at the eruption, the °nap. tion is arrested, and superation is prevent- ed, without any eerious results. The mix- ture should be - well stirred or shaken 1mediately before administering. • 1 Corns 1 Oornis 1 Corns I. Discovered at last ; a remedy that is sure, safe and painless.

A boy was summoned to testify in a case of assault, in which one man had hit an. (niter with a shovel. A host of witnesses had been called, who beat about the bush' in the most tedious and provoking manner. This annoyed the lawyer for the prose- cution, who broke out as follows "Here, boy, we've been going round and round this ease for hours, and yet have no evidence to convict the prisoner. Now, sir," he savage- ly continued, "do you hear me? I want you to come to the direct point. Ind you see the blow struck ?" " Yes, air," "Ab, ha," chuckled the lawyer, rubbiCg his hands, " We have something to work upon. Hcre, my good led, take this cane, (handing him his walking stick). If you saw tee blow struck, you must know how it was given." '" Yes, sir, I—" " Now, then, no words antra it, I tell you !" thundered the interrogator, "I'm the complainant and you are the prisoner. Now just raise the stick and show the court." The bewildered lad did 'raise the stick,' and the next moment it came down upon the bald pate of the astonished lawyer, and sent him staggering to his seat. "That's the way it was done, sir," said the boy, amid the shrieks of laughter ot the whole court -room. The discomfitted coun- sel, with a ghastly attempt to smile, said that he had done with the witness—the evidence was direct.—London Tit -Bits. • Wit and Wisdom, —You need not pack up any worries.

Rila Kittredge, of Belfast, Maine, cham- pion email writer of the world, has retired from the field, leaving his record of 46,000 words written with a common steel pen on an ordinary postal card for ambitious micro- scopical -penmen to equal or beat. Until two years ago he wrote a great deal, but now, being within a few months of 90, he has given up the laborious practice of writ- ing volumes upon small cards, his hand being less steady and his eye lees bright than in his best days: Mr. Kittredge has long been famous for his penmanship. He is a Vermonter by birth. His practice • of miniature china graphy began early in life, and many a time he has gone without his dinner rather than leave unfinished a piece of work. His first serious competitive effort was made in 1887, when some one sent to the Belfast Journal a postal card upon which 600 words had been crowded, and defied any one to beat it. A few days afterwards Kittredge handed he a postal card upon which tie had written 1,000 words, and this being beaten, he produced one with 3,000 words. The 3,000.word postal card ended the competitien, but Mr. Kittredge kept on crowding his letters and words into still smaller space, turning out in . succession cards bearing 6,000 10,000 and 20,000 words. His finest work was done It 1889, when he wrote 46,000 words upon an ordinary postal card, and the entire text of the New Testa - 7 Mena about 181,000 word, upon 4 Poetal cards. He has written several Presidental in. augural addresses upon petal cards and has always considered it easy to write the Lord's prayer eight times within the space covered by a five -cent nickel. He wrote one of,Gledstone's speeches on a postal card and sent it to the statesman, who wrote a letter in reply thanking Mr. Kittredge and praising his skill. Mr. Kittredge never used any magnifying glasses or other aids. He has always worn a pair of ordinary speotecIee, such as most elderly men use and all his writing has been done with an ordinary steel pen and own, mon black ink, He has competed with many would-be champions who have used magnifying glasses and sharp pointed hard lead pencils, and he has easily beaten them all, in spite of their advantage in the matter of equipment. His writing is distinguished by its beauty and the artistic arrangement and uniformity of the letters. Each letter is separate and distinct, and some framed specimens were shown at the Paris Exposition. He says that his eyes naturally magnify. • Some Things Worth Knowing. —The first Australian wheat was grown at Sydney in 1890. —Britain grows 6- tons of potatoes to the acre France, 3 1-5, Russia, only 2 tons. —The farmers of Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, met in Pottsville on Friday and formed a stock -syndicate for the purpose of establishing dandelion farms. —If it is thought beat to sow grass or clover seed with oats, use a very light seed- ing of oats, say a bushel or a bushel and a half per acre, and a heavy seeding of grass and clover seed. —About the best food that can be given to turkeys when they are first hatched is a little stale wheat bread moistened with milk, and a part of a hard boiled egg that has been crumbled fine. —Shropshire farmers in England are at their wits' end for lack of labourers to plow the land, How the seed, drive the wagons and herd the cows.

"It is a curious fact that these floating threads from the webs of spiders will take the bluing off a gen barrel. I have been unable to find out why," says Harry Sutherland in AinsIee's. "The threads of the big tropical spiders are distinctly bit- ter to the taste, but though the first thought a man has when he tastes any- thing bitter is that it must be good for medieine, the only use the healing art makes of spiders' webs is to use them to stanch the flow of blood. The kind of web used for that grows under the coun- ters of groceries, and it was one of these spiders that caught a mouse. "I will admit, right in the beginning, that this looks like a pretty large story, but it is substantiated by no less a per- sonage than the late Proctor Kuott, who was then governor of Kentucky, though his greater claim, to fame was his speech in congress about Duluth, "the zenith city of the unsalted seas," as he humor- ously called it, /Which ie very far indeed from being anything nowadays but a plain statement of fact, as he lived to see. Governor Knott made a signed statement of the event and sent it to Professor Mc- Cook, whose authority on the spider ques- tion nobody will dispute. He saw the spider shortly after she had snared the mouse by the end of its tail and while it was still aline and struggling half wai off the ground, and he saw it after it had been hoisted nine inches from the floor and all wrapped up in silk. He calls particular attention to the way the 'spider kept -ea-- ring up the mouse by biting It so as to get another line on it. "And this adventure with a mouse is not the only case on record where spiders have done deeds of high enterprise. The Hon. David B. Evans of Batavia, N. Y., saw a striped snake nine inches long caught and killed by a spider, its mental shut up with threads of silk and its tail tied to a knot so as to form a loop through which was reeved a cord as strong as sewing silk made of multiplied threads and run up over a, sort of pulley of which a dead fly was the core. "Maybe you think that is a pretty able- bodied yarn, but what do you call the Statement that a Dolomedes spider has been seen to catch and and a fish? No, Um. sure I've got it right. It wasn't the fish that caught the spider. There Wouldn't be any story in that at all. It .was the spider that caught the flab. It leaped on the fish's shoulders and bit aud bit and swung ashore and fastehed lines till It warped the fish out of water. It wasn't a very big fish, I grant you, if One may go by the picture in the book, but ft was a fish, and that Is wonderful enough in itself." AT THE TICKET WINDOW. & Farmer Who Won't to Be Choate of a Ride on the Cars. Depot ticket agents naturally come into contact with some very pectulfgr patrons, and constant service behind the window of a busy center of travel cannot fail to develop whatever inclination to study hu- man nature one may possess. The nerv- Dus passenger, the flustered; did lady that is always confused over the two stand- ards of time and the foreigner, with whom the agent sometimes has much Ha- gual difficulty, contrive to put a strafe upon his patience that is not calculated to make him an extremely amiable per' son. "I had a rather funny experience an odd customer the other day," remarks ed one of these much tried men. "Ile was a typical granger and spoke in a deliber- ate, drawling way that was somewhat exasperating in view of the fact that there were several clamoroas ticket pur- chasers behind him. He wanted a aickat to a certain town, the name of wilful% las slipped my memory.' Ndw, as Indiana and Massachusetts both contain a towu of that name, ,I of course asked him to which place he wanted to go. " `Durned ef I .known was his reply: 'My brother lives there, an I want tow pay him a 'visit' 4"But don't you- know whether the town is in Indiana or Massachusetts?' "'Et mout be in Georgy fer all I know,' was the drawling reply. "He could give no description nf the place, hiving never been there, and I asked him to retire until the rush was over.Then I looked up the two towns on the railroad' maps and tried to fix his des- tination in that way. But it was no use. He had no letters with him, rted his case was a puzzler. Well, sir, he hung around - the depot all day, munching peanuts and thinking the matter over, occasionally coming to the window and asking if we had made up our minds whore to send him. "At last, losing patience, I was on the point of telling him to go to Jericho -when he suddenly brightened up and said he would go to the town in Indiana auyway, b'gosh, and if that didn't happen to be the right place he would journey on to - the town of the same name in Massachu- setts. And as he bought his ticket he philosophically observed: "Et's a long time sence I hey bed a chanst tew ride on the kyars„ an I mixt as well take a good long ride while I'm at Kentuckian—He called me a liar, sir.
