As Polite to the Colored Girl as tua mm
Avenue Belle. '
The train was crowded and the us

railway carriages and separate the
black passengers from the white hat
been discarded.
'Col. John Jacob Astor and another
officer had beguiled the time pleasant
1y enough, but as they neared Chatta-
nooga‘ the mum-millionaire soldier
was left alone. The day was warm
and he nodded a little, but be straight-
ened quickly at a feminine voice say-
ing quite close to his ear;
“Mannin’, sah. I hopes I sees yo’
puty tolubie?" And a black woman
calmly took the vacant place. He
acknowledged the greeting courteous
ly, and she smiled in cheerful friend-
liness,
“Yose fur de No’th, I reckon. Oh.
I knowed dat! Yo all’s so! Jus’ gwinc

tons does shine! I allus wanted one

Colonel Astor bowed with grave po-
liteness, and the eyes of the negro
country girl shone as he detached 3
button from his blouse and handed it
to her. _
“T’ank yo’ sahl” she said. “I’m
monstrous glad foh ter git dis. I’sc

"Membah, I’se gwine ter pray!” She
waved him a farewell, and he raised
his hat in acknowledgment. Some of
the officers smiled, but there was no
smile on his face as he turned away.

STYLES IN TEETH.
Nations That See No Beauty In a Bow 0!
. Peoria.
It is curious to What an extent the
mutilation of teeth gm on among sav-
age nations,‘ and even‘ among certain
civilized people, such as the Japanese
With them a girl ‘ is never married
without first staining her teeth block
with a repulsive kind of varnish, and
the custom is especially adhered to
among the richer classes.
0n the west coast of Africa a large
portion of the teeth are deliberately
broken when children reach a certain
age. Both in the new world and in
the old the custom exists of extract-
ing the two front teeth of domestic
servants. In Peru the custom has ex-
isted from time immemorial, and used
to be a sign of slavery in the days of
the Incas. This is also the custom on
the Kongo, and among the Hobtentots.
Teeth are stained in various colors
among the Malays.
A bright red and a. bright blue are
not uncommon, and a bright green is
produced with the aid of arsenic and
lemon juice. Livingstone related that
among the. Kafiirs a. child with a prom—
inent upper jaw was looked upon as
a monster and immediately killed. On
the Upper Nile the negroes have all
their best teeth extracted in order to
destroy their value in thevslave mar-
ket, and to make it not worth while
for the slave traders to carry them off.

Little Men Wern- Bandy in 1861.
"We fellows were enlisted down on
the Penobscot,” said Mr. D. B. Cres-
sey of Lewiston, “and there were _25
of us boys who were too small to 'do
the work, so the enlisting officer said.
“We went down to Augusta and
were thrown out, while a lot of heavy
wood choppers and farmers were put
in our places.
Governor Robie, who was paymaster
then, got us back. And, do you know,
we made better soldiers than all those
heavy fellows, because we could get
there. When night came we were al-
ways the first in camp, while the fel-
lows who had the meat to lug around
were coming in all night long. Well
we were down in Louisiana one time
and a raid into the enemy’s country
was proposed. It was to be made with
cavalry and they went through the
regiments picking out the smallest men
to make the raid. There were 1,800
of us and not a man weighed over 130
pounds. It was a queer looking crowd
but it got there, for the men did not
tire the horses out and at night they
were as fresh as could be expected.
I think the light men make the best
soldiers in the long run, for many
branches of army life."——Lewiston.

Happy Korean Lovers.
The determination of the King of
Korea to marry again has caused
great rejoicing, as it is not considered
polite for anybody of social standing
in the kingdom to marry while the
king is single. Consequently, the fidel-
ity of that monarch to the memory of
his murdered consort has been making
many hearts ache, and the interruption
of love’s young dream has threatened
serious political results, for even the
astute and autocratic politicians of
the Orient find they have to reckon
with the primitive complications of
human nature, and that these are
times when even a king of sacred dy-
nasty can assume too much responsi-
bility in directing other people's ac-
tions—Baltimore American.
“I want a gentle horse for my wife
to drive,” said the prospective purchas-
er. “Can you recommend this one?”
“Yes, indeed!” replied the owner;
“there is not a safer horse for a lady
to be found anywhere, and there is but
one thing he’s afraid of."
“And what is that ‘1‘" asked the other.
“He is awfully afraid that Some one
will say ‘whoa.’ to him and he won’t
hear it,” replied the conscientious
owner.-—Chicago News.

Why “’e Are Right Handed. "
Primitive man being by nature ~a
fighting animal, fought for the most
part at first with his great canine
teeth and lists, till the process of time
added to those early and natural weap-
ons the further persuas-ions of a club
or shellelah.
He also fought, as Darwin has con-
clusively shown, in the main for the
possession of the ladies of his kind
against other members of his own sex
and species.
And if you fight you soon learn to
protect the most exposed and vulner-
able portion of your body. or, if you
don’t, natural selection manages it to:
you, by killing you off as an immediate
consequence.
To the boxer, wrestler, or hand-to-
hand combatant, that most vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly the heart. A
hard blow, well-delivered, on the left
breast, will easily kill, or at any rate,
stun a strong man. Hence, from an
early period men have used the right
hand to fight with, and have employed
the left hand chiefly to 'cover the heart
and to parry a blow aimed at that
specially vulnerable region. And when
weapons of offence and defence super-
cede mere fists and teeth, it is the right
hand that grasps the spear or sword.
while the left holds over the heart in:
defence the shield at buckler.
From this simple origin, then, tn
whole vast difference of right and let.
in civilized life takes its beginning. At
first, no doubt, the superiority of the
right hand was only felt in the manner
of fighting. But that alone gave it a dis-
tinct pull, and p ved the way at last
for the supremacy elsewhere.
For when weapons came into use,
the habitual employment of the right
hand to grasp the spear, sword, or
knife, made the nerves or muscles of
the right side far more obedient to
the control of the will than those of the
left.
The dexterity thus acquired by the
right—see how the word “dexterity"
implies this fact—made it more natural
for the early hunter and artifice: to
employ the same hand preferentially
in the manufacture of fiint hatchets,
bows and arrows, and all the other _
manifold activities of savage life.
Andto the end the right hand re
mains especially “the hand- in which i
you hold your knife;" and that is ex-
actly. how your children to this day
decide the question which is which
when they begin to know their right
hand from their left for practical pur-
poses.
A Lovely Folding Sachet.
Many pretty pieces of fancy work can
be done by the woman with deft fin-
gers during the warm weather. A
pretty fashion is to have a folding
sachet nearly as bog as the width of
the bed, laid at the foot to put a night
sachets are decorative an‘ are often
most elaborate.
The accompanying sketch represents
one made of pale blue satin, embroider-
ed with marguerites, field flowers and
grasses, a silk cord and lace rum-e mak-
ing the finish. Some dainty 0rris
powder is the best scent for such a. pur~
pose and makes a lovely sachet.
He Had a Great Scheme.
He was enthusiastic. ~ A.
"Talk about your gold mines!" he
said.
His eyes sparkled, and he showed the
most intense excitement.
“Speaking of Klondyke! ” he exclaim-
ed. “Dicussing the diamond fields of
South Africa! Referring to a corner in
tea! I have a. scheme that will make
them all look small! In the first place,
I will induce meteorological authorities
to go into partnership with me. All
they will have to do will be to give me
advance information in regard to the
weather." -
“What do you want with that?"
“Why, you've noticed the kinds of
wind that we get. here every little
while, haven’t you? Some of them are
regular tw-i-sters, aren’t they? If your
hat gets away from you it is likely to
travel four streets before it hits the
ground, and a sheet of paper may land
anywhere within a. radius of eight
miles.” ' v
“True enough, but what of it?"
“Why, I can arrange with the me-
teor010g‘ica1 people to get advance tips -
of such storms. It is my intention to
establish a circular-distributing agency
and do away with the expense of the
ordinary human distributors. Talk

India Silkl Fashionable.
The pretty silks printed in small
Pompado-ur designs are hardly to be
called India silks, although they cer—
tainly very closely resemble the fine,
light textiles from that far-off coun-
try. However, whether they come
from India or Indian-a, Palestine or
Paterson, they are dainty, durable, and
firm in texture, and made up in the
prevailing styles, which render them
suitable for nearly- every possible 00-
casion. They will be very fashionably
and comfortably worn throughout the
entire summer and autumn.

GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SIIAIIES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|, I898.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, th‘e pioneer of the Klondike, and founder 'of I
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
cier‘s of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “ Marguerite" Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondike, andlarge holdings of Choice
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan
Town Lots in Dawson City.
City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured.
The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. a. -

Preferred Stock, 65 cumulative, $1,000,000
Common Stock, 4,000,000
Total Capital, par value, $10 per share. $5,000,000
The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are
shared pro rate. by the preferred and common stock.
Thus the preferred stock practically offe
rs the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock.
The undersigned has obtained a. short option on a. block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $0.00 per share.
August 3rst, 2898, after which the price
This option terminates
of the preferred stock will be
advanced by the Company to $12.50 per share.
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Shares will be alloted in the
