The man pulled a string of tickets from his pocket, tore off one, handed it to the woman and resumed his rush without waiting for her thanks. But

» woman did not follow. She mere- moved across to the flight of steps ou the other side. Here she resumed her search, with the result that a nickel Was transferred to her pocket by a passing woman. Next she crossed the avenue and gathered sorme more nick- els and tickets from the passengers go- ing in the opposite direction, finally returning to her original stand, where her plight attracted as much compas- sion as before. While the observer was looking on, the woman made two

sunds of the stairs, each round occu- pring about ten minutes. It is prob- able that her average earnings were at the rate of $2 in nickels and negotiable tickets an hour,

Reom For Him Too,

A bland and patronizing New Yorker vas passing through a raw and new hamlet in the west, which its proud ‘ounders had dubbed B—— City and

ere sure would soon become a tbriv- ing hive of human beings. Addressing a lank and lazy youth who was loung- ing at the door of one of the rude shan- ties that passed for a “shoe empori- um,” the New Yorker inquired sarcas- tically:

“Who is that {mportant looking gen- tleman with the red flannel shirt?”

“That’s Sam Peters,” was the proud reply. “He's just opened the new post- oftice.”

“And the tall person with no col- tary" :

“He's Long Mike. Just openeu a gro- cery store.”

“And the plump individual with the bald head?”

“Handy Jim. Owns the new saloon.”

“Indeed?” said the New Yorker. “Your city seems to be pretty well started. [I should suppose there was nothing left for a stranger like myself to open.”

“Oh, | dunno!’ drawled the lanky one. “We ain’t got no loonattic asylum yet. You might start that.” -- New York Tribune.

A Cheerful Experience,

“IT had a cheerful experience the oth- er day,” remarked a man who bad spent several days at one of the springs for rheumatism.

“What was it?” asked the observer.

“I was carried into a depot near the springs and deposited on a seat near an old woman, who looked at me with a complacent smile and inquired, ‘Been hurt?

“ ‘No,’ I replied.

A Burning Prayer.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer tells this |

story of the white

after conducting ser-

vices at a colored church asked an old !

deacon to lead in prayer. The dusky brother in fervent appeal that a shower of heavenly grace be permitted to fall upon his white friend. He said:

“O Lor’, give him de eye of de eagle dat he may spy out our sins afar Weld his han’s to de gospel plow; tie his tongue to de lines of truf and nail his ear to de gospel pole! An, O Lor, bow his haid way down —an behin’ his knees, an his knees way down—ah in some lonesome dark an narrow valley, O Lor’, whar much prayer is needed to be made—ah! Den *point him ovah wid de blessed ile of de kerosene of salvation, an sot him on fiah wid de match of faith made perfec’—amen!”

France Outside of Paris,

To get a correct idea of the French nation one must abandon Paris and get out among the people of the prov- inces. Paris is a sinkhole of rotten- ness, but the people who dwell outside that modern Gomorrah are sound and upright and patriotic, living whole- some and useful lives. When you get out in the rural districts, a charming sight {s presented of beautifully culti- vated farms, each farm being as trim and neat as a flower garden. There is not a foot of waste land to be seen. The first thing that strikes a stranger is the profusion of fruit. Nowhere can be seen more luscious pears, peachesand grapes.—Washington Post.

Cee gy The Whirl of Life,

Here is what caught a reporter’s eye in a two minutes’ study of the streets of New York on a down town corner.

On the sidewalk, three urchins, evil of face, industriously “shooting’’ craps. From the doorway of a frowsy saloon, ten yards away, a gray haired woman issuing with a jug of beer, though it was only 10 o’clock in the morning. A burly iceman and a negro roustabout discussing, loudly and with much pro- fanity, the advantages of each other’s jobs. A whir and rattle of wheels and an undertaker’s wagon dr:ves up to the door of a modest red brick tenement. A white coffin, three feet long, is brought out and received by a venerable old man, with a flowing white beard, who comes to the door coatless and in slippers. You then notice for the first time the knot of white ribbon on the door handle. The old man tucks the diminutive casket under his arm and retires within, fol- lowed by the undertaker’s men. He is solemn, but tearless. ‘There is a story there somewhere—the slippered patriarch in the final stage of life per- forming the last dolorous offices for one lost in its beginning.

And over on the dock gre the hue and hustle, the scurry and scamper in- cidental to the getting to sea of the great ship. Sharp are the contrasts of a town.—New York Commercial Ad- vertiser.

“Yes, but I’ve found out that this man wasn’t after my daughter; he was after my mother-in-law.’—New York Press.

A Proper Question,

“And clothes,” argued the missionary further, “are as cheap as dirt!”

The tropic heathen did aot conceal her misgivings.

“Yes; but are they as hygienic?” fal- tered this simple child of the forest.

Her health was quite perfect now, and there was no telling what might not be the effect of corsets and skirts which do not hang from the shoulders, to say nothing of the veils with dots in them.—Detroit Journal.

Dr. J. T. A. Gauthier, of Valleyfield, Que., writes: ‘‘I, the undersigned, certify that the contents of this letter, in regard to the cure of Mt. Isadore Major, by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidrey-Liver Pills, is correct.”

Here is Mr. Major's letter: ‘* After 20 years of suffering from backache and krdiney disease I owe my life to Dr. A. W. Chase, I had tried an endless variety of remedies to no avail, and on the recommendation of a friend be, the use of Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Two pills that night and two next m gave great relief, and I continued their use until now Iam completely cured. My friends are surprised and pleased to ses me well again, for I spent hundreds of dollars in vain ying to get cured. Before using Dr. Chase's ney-Liver Pills say back ached so I could not put on my shoes and couldn't lift go Ibs. My shoulders were sore, I had headaches anda bad taste in the mouth. These troubles are now entirely pee and what I say I am ready to

ing deeds in battle, are , men whose arteries pul. sate with the rich, red, vital blood of health. The same is true of the men who win success in the battles of work and business. When a man’s liver is slug- gish, his digestion im- oe Oecd, and his stom- ach weak, hig blood soon gets thirand im- ure. The blood is the stream of life. If it is impure every vital organ in the body is improperly nourished and becomes weak aa diseased and fails to perform its proper functions in the economy of life. The vic- tim suffers from loss of appetite and sleep, wind, pain, fulness and swelling of the stomach after meals, bad taste in the mouth, foul breath, imaginary lump of food in the throat, headaches, giddiness, drowsiness, heavy head and costiveness.

All of these conditions and their causes are promptly cured by the use of Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It brings back the keen edge of appetite, makes the digestion perfect and the liver active. It makes rich, red, pure blood,

ae™

filled with the life-giving elements of the |

food that build healthy tissues, firm flesh, strong muscles and vibrant nerve fibers. It invigorates and vitalizes the whole body, and imparts mental power and elasticity. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of con- sumption, strengthens weak lungs, stops bleeding from ‘lungs, spitting of blood, obstinate lingering coughs and kindred ailments.

Costiveness, constipation and torpidity of the liver are surely, speedily and per- manently cured by Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. ‘ ules. One little ‘‘ Pellet’’ is a gentle laxa- tive. and two a mild cathartic. They never

miles of the Sierra. Professor Blake thinks that the ice must have filled the gorge, and much above it, to a thick- ness of 5,000 feet, and with a pressure upon the floor of the valley of 120,000 pounds to the square fdot; the tre- mendous force of such a weight, on the under surface of which was a broken mass of rock, like diamends in a drill, grinding, planing and cutting, can scarcely be imagined; for untold ages, too, this mighty force was at work, polishing the face of the country through which it passed.

The character of the Yosemite rock being granite, close grained and verti- eal in structure, with points of easy fracture, it would appear that, as the great mass of ice bore down upon this vertical rock, it was broken and knock- ed over by the moving ice, flaking off at the places of easy cleavage. Thus, according to Professor Blake, the prec- ipice was formed, and thus is explain- ed the dome shaped summits of the mountains there.
