The conductor thought he had gotten on with some passengers from either New York city or Mount Vernon. Mr. Meg:- riweather turned him over to Captain George Washington Gladstone. The police took charge of the boy and later telephoned to'the Mt. Vernon Police and later sent the boy to that city for them to find his parents. Captain Gladstone was asked by _ a GAZETIE reporter on Monday morning where he had been the night previous with a horse and two-seated carriage. The Captain denied having been out with the team; It now appears he was off in Brookside making “a liquor raid on wheels” at the house of Mrs. Han- nah Govern. He was no doubt ashamed of the transaction, as he shodld have been, hence his evasion. There are penty of violators of the liquor law within the city limits with- out ol’ficers going about “on wheels“ looking for those outside.

Mr. Botsford said yester- day that of the $8,662.83 due, $7,835.40 had been paid, leaving a balance of un- paid taxes ofonly $728, which with back taxes that have been running for sever al years, makes the total amount cf taxes due something less than $1,000. Last year at this time but $4,681 had been paid in taxes.

During the extremely severe weather of February, 1895, myriads of birds perished from cold and starvation, both in Europe and the United States. In England this destruction was the more sorrowful, perhaps, as the country where the birds winter is more thickly settled than with us, and there were more to see-their sufferings. But.occa- sionally the British birds found friend- ly shelter. The London Times published, during the cold weather, this note from Ro- dolph Walther, a. boy of twelve :years, who lives at Tunbridge Wells: “I thought perhaps you would allow a. schoolboy to tell you how very tame and fearless the cold and hunger have made the wild birds around our house. “Of course we feed them with bread and all sorts of odds and ends, and the ground is simply black with our hungry visitors. Even the suspicious rooks come quite close to the house for their share. ' “A little blue-tit passes its day in our basement, heedless of sleepy pussy baking herself before the stove. “Most of all I wish to tell you about my strange bedroom companion, alittle robin, which has taken up its residence in my bedroom; and. though I leave the window open, he never goes out except to take a. short fly. We pass the night together, and he makes his bed in one of my football boots. “The other morning he woke me up by singing on a chair at the side of my bed. I suppose he thought I ought to be at my lessons.” _ ._—_.... . g . ..._ Price List of Chamberlain’s . Medicines. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy.

Every spot on' me and inside me feels worse than the other spot. and I think I am going to die.’ “ 'Nonsense,’ said he. ‘You have. talked too much. You have been inter- viewed and visited and feted” and made . to sing encores. You have usedyour throat and your nerves of speech until they are limp. You take my advice and you will get well.’ ' “Then this physician, who told me this case, told Mlle Calve to lie in bed with the shades drawn all day until the time to go to the opera “‘ “But how. shall I see my friends? asked she. - . In“See them‘ in bed,’ said he. ‘It will keep you quiet. A woman lying in bed is not supposed to talk much. They will do the talking for you. You listen. Take the old adage, “A still tongue maketh a wise head,” and adapt it to yourself. “A still tongue maketh a well body,” will be true in‘your case. “Calve did it and got well. You have not read reports of her illness this win- ter. , “Bernhardt has always suffered from a mania of over conversation. She is an animated rattle-box. At her home in Paris she is said to be the life of ev- ery salon, If she isn’t" careful this same life will be the death of her. She chatters, chatters, chatters, and it is nothing but her wonderful native health that keeps her up to it. Thismuch for Bernhardt, though, she puts no thought in her talk. “Ellen Terry had a touch of talking too much, and nearly came down with nervous prostration. She went to her Tower Cottage, Winchelsea, to lie in bed all summer. Her doctor, one of those faddlsh English physicians, who make a specialty of royal ladies’ and other ills, told her to swing a. hammock under the trees. ‘Put on a loose robe,‘ said he, ‘and get in that hammock and swing daily one hour three times a day. Don’t stop swinging and don’t see any- body.’ " ‘Queer advice,’ said Terry to her daughter but she followed it. After she got well and was no longer the high- strung, overworked woman of Spring, her doctor told her that the hammock was all a farce, simply a ruse to keep her from talking three hours a day. “Irving has never suflered from this over-conversation fever. He has always been a quiet man. In his home in Graf- ton' street, London, he’ retires each af- ternoon to a room filled with busts of Browning, Keats, Siddons, Forrest, Tennyson and so on through the silent gallery. Here, silent as they, he sits and gazes upon them, none speaking a word. That rests Irving and keeps the nerves of his tongue free. The tongue never- »runs away with him after that quiet hour. . " “Lillian Russell suffers from talking too much, and in a painful way. It af- fects her nervous system. Too much talk plays :upon her nerve centers, and throws her out. In other wprds, it makes her cross. That is the secret of They talk until they are nervous, and nervousness af- fects the'disposition. Stop them from talking for a week and they are good- natured women. Try it with the next cross woman you meet.’ One or. the Other. “I saw an article in a. magazine the other day," said Bjorkins, “on the sub- ject of coast defences. In the opinion of the writer it is all folly to waste any money on such a thing. He says in case of trouble with any foreign power it would be cheaper to move back into the interior than to fight. and cheaper yet to apologize. He thinks it is criminal for nations to go to war on any pretext whatever.” “He’s either a. blamed ignoramus,” re~ sponded Twimley, “or he’s a. college President.”-—Chicago Daily Tribune.

It “(as Not In Affairs of the New Yorh , ‘ Central, Nor in Politics. President Chauncey M. Depew opened his eyes wide when he was asked what 1vlirfas the most critical moment of his 9. “My life has been replete with inci- dents,” he began, “but there is none to which I can look back with more inter- est than one which occurred when I was a. boy. Our father was kindly but strict. He did not believe in repeating a request. On one occasion he told me not to eat apples. It was at a time when the fruit was unripe, and there had been a number of cases of cholera morbus in the neighborhood. Like all boys, I was very fond of them, and one day I climbed a tree and began select- ing some particularly juicy ones. I had hardly eaten one when, on looking down, I saw my father. There was a stern expression on his face, and I knew « what to expect when I was told to cut off a fair sized .limb and bring it to him. - “This I did; slowly, to be sure, but finally I reached the ground, to find father’s hand on my collar. I had often tasted the birch before, but an ap- ple limb was a novelty, and I was won- dering how it would feel when I heard my mother's voice. just as a blow was about to descend on my shoulders. “Perhaps it was due to the uncertain— ty or severity of my punishment that the incident impressed me, or my mother’s voice at a most critical time, for when I heard it I knew that for a few seconds at least I could expect a re- spite. She interceded for me, and I was saved.” THE PREACHER AND THE MAN. No Flapplng of Wings in Either Instance. Says Myers. The Rev. Cortland Myers, who, now that Talmage has moved from Brook- lyn, has the largest congregation of any preacherin the city of churches, deliv- ered the last of a series of sermons re cently, the general subject of which was “Why I Am What I Am.” The spe- cial topic was “Why I Am a Preacher.” He said in part: "The preacher is a man. He is'hot an angel nor a ghost, nor any new species. The mere fact of his office does not difierentlate him from any other man. His position does not make him wom- anly nor a. monstrosity nor anything pe- culiar. If the office destroys the man, then the man ought to destroy the of- fice. The noblest elements in true manhocd should be seen pro-eminently in the preacher of righteousness. If a peculiar collar isolates me from other men, I shall immediately be without that collar. If a strange coat makes me be a strange creature, I shall imme- diately bid farewell to that coat. You do not listen for the flapping of wings when I approach; I walk, I do not fly. Christ sent not a ceremony, nor a. tra- dition, nor a book, but a man. He should be most vitally interested in so- ciology, and politics, and business, and everything pertaining to man and his relation to his fellow man. His field is nota. contracted one, but covers the en- tire planet. The Christian minister should be the most manly of men, re- spected for manhood and not feared for priesthood or laughed at for ghosthood. That which men most need is 3. Gospel, ' and that whim the Gospel most needs is men. “Science is good, but men are not saved by science. PhiIOSOphy is good, but men are not lost for want of phi- losophy. Medicine is good, and law is good, and other life work is good, but it does not touch the vital need. Willing to Make Things All Right. A pompous little tradesman is said to be constructing a. building for the stor- - age of salt meats. It is one of his pe- culiarities, as it is of pompous people generalfy, that he loves to give orders on all occasions, says Tit-Bits. His frequent needless interference with the work has secured the ill will of the workmen. The other day he re- marked to one of the masons, a man of ready Wit: , “I say, Mike, I want you to be very careful not to leave any holes in the foundation, becausp I am going to have that cellar filled with meat, and I don’t want the mice to get in. Do you un- derstand?” “Oh, that’s all right, sir,” answered Mike, good naturedly. “If I do happen to lave a hole or two between the stones I’ll lave ’em big enough for the cats to get in after the mice, so yez’ll have no rayson to worry.” .- The Saddle Question. " This is an illustration of the old style saddle. ” ’ If you will observe it carefully you will note that it fits like a glove (and a. saddle should not). It presses the sen- sitive parts, causes sore- ness, stiffness and Chefs ing, and has made cycl- ing to a certain extent injurious, because few could enjoy a long ride ~ without fear of injury. All this is now changed. 9 Here is repre— sented the perfect saddle—the Christy Anatomical Saddles"e . '-- . shqwing the pelvis as it . rests on the pads. The \ Christy Anatomical Saddle is the only saddle that is built right.
