"An exchange relates that Stephen Gi- 1a1d, the infidel millionaire of Phila— delphia, on one Saturday ordered all hi." 1 clerks to come on the morrow to his wharf and help unload a newly arrived ship. One young man replied, quiet- ly: “Mr. day. ” ‘ You know the rules.” “Yes, I know. I have a mother to support, but I can’t work on Sundays.” “Well, step up to the desk, and the cashiei will settle with you.’ F01 th1 ee weeks the young man could find no work; but one day a banker came to Girard to ask if he could rec- ommend a man for cashier in a new bank. This discharged young man was at once named as a suitable person. “But,” said the banker, “you dis- charged him.” “Yes,'because he would not work on Sundays‘. A man who would loose his place for conscience’s sake would make a trustworthy cashier.” And he was appointed. Girard, I can’t work on Sun- Coal 011 for Snake Bites. One day last week Thomas Pruetl was in the corn crib when a large cop- perhead snake, which was concealed in '4. pile of corn husks, bit him on the thigh. Thomas made a hasty retreat with its fangs. He says he does not know how he got out of the crib or how the snake got loose. His son came with a pitchfork and killed the snake. They applied coal oil to the bite, and beyond a little puffing up and some purple spots itdid not amount to much.—Paoli, Ind., Republi- can. Their fiaughters mow Included.

There is a more amicable feeling existing between the natives and foreigners at Amoy and in the surrounding country than prob- ably exists at any other port in China.” ‘ Kentucky’s Big Racing Events.

The men who own a milliOn dollars’ worth of property number less than half a score in the whole State. Those who control half a million dollars‘ worth of property .‘ might ride together in a sleeping-car, with an upper berth or two to spare. Every town has its rich man, measured by a local standard, who is frequently a retired farmer turned banker, but not one in five of these is rated at $100,000.‘ Yet each is the autocrat of his county if he cares to be. The mainspring that moves the town’s daily machinery may be found in the back room of the bank. There it is decided whether or not the bonds shall be voted. There it is often determined whether there shall be eight or nine months of school. There the village chronicles are spread upon the great ledgers every day. The town banker~ supplies the money for every contest. if he is wise, he watches his little cor- ner of the world as a spider watches from his web. The great trust which he keeps requires a. knowledge of the details of ,the game that men are play- ing around him. Yet with all his pow- er this town banker would be counted 13. poor man in the city. Seldom is his annualincome as much as $10,000; But he lives in the best home in the town, The butcher saves his best cutsfor him, the grocer puts aside his best vegetables, and the whole town waits to do his bidding. DRIVING A DOG ' TEAM. Flying. Over the Snow in Northern Canadt in Rabbit Skins. Well, here we are down on the ice and the dogs impatient to start. Lei me describe. The sled consists of a narrow box four feet long, the front half being covered or boxed in, mount- ed on. a floor eight feet long resting on runners. In this box the passengei sits, wrapped in rabbit skins so that he can hardly move, his head and shoulders only projecting. In front and behind "and on top of the box is placed all the luggage, covered with canvas, and securely lashed, to with; stand all the jolting and possible up- sets, and our snowshoes within easy reach. An important item is the dog- whip, terrible to the dog if used by a skillful hand and terrible to the usei if he be a novice; for he is' sure tc half strangle imself or to hurt his own face with- the business end of the lash. The whip I measured had a handle nine inches long and lash thirty feet, and weigher four pounds. The lash was of folded and plaited seal-hide, and for five feet from the handle measured five inches round, then for fourteen feet it gradually tapered ofi. ending in a single thong half an inch thick and eleven feet long. Wonderful the dexterity with which a driver can pick out a dog and almost a Spot on a. dog with this lash. The lash must be trailing at full length be- hind, when a jerk and turn of the wrist causes .it to_fly‘ forward, the thick part. first, and the tapering end con- taining the motion till it is at full length in front, and the lash making the fur fly from the victim. But often it is made to crack over the heads of the dogs as a warning. The eleven dogs were harnessed to the front 01 the sled, each by a separate thong oi seal-hide, all of different lengths, fast ened to a light canvas harness. ' The nearest dog was about fifteen feet from the sled, and the leader, with bells on her, about fifty feet, the thongs thus increasing in length by about three , feet. When the thong is good the dogs l spread out like the fingers of a hand, ' but when the snow is deep they fall into each other’s tracks in almost single file. As they continually cross and recross each other, the thongs gel gradually plaited almost up to the' rearmost dog, when a halt is called, the dogs are made to lie down, and the driver carefully disentangles them, taking care that no dog gets away meanwhile. They are guided by the voice, using “Husky,” that is Eskimo, words: “OWk,” go to the right; “arrah,” to the left, and “bolt,” straight on. ' But often one of the men must run ahead on snowshoes for the dogs to follow him.—London, Ont., 'Iimes. A Bridge Kept in Repair by M’ussels. The byssus, or silky heard, by which the mussel moors itself to the stone, is a familiar object of our sea rocks. [t is in its nature like the silk of the silk-worm and exudes in a glutinous thread from an organ at the base of the foot. . The following is an instance in which the mooring of the mussel was useful to effect a purpose whizh human skill .11 1d not accomplish. A large bridge, with twenty arches, in the town of Bid- .lot‘ord, in Devonshire crosses the Tor~ 12dge river near the spot of its junction with the ’l’aw. The tide flows so very rapidly here that it was found impossible to keep new 10 sncem Kq .IgedeI 11; 93mm on: tar. The corporation therefore keeps boats employed in bringing mussels to .t, and the interstices of thebridge are filled by hand with‘these mussels. It is supported from! being driven away by the tide entirely by the strong threads which these mussels fix to the stone work, and by an ant nrgrant it is .-1 crime liable to transportation for any persou to remove the mussels unless in ._.__,_ A strong solution of alum in boiling water is excellent to destroy ants, cockroaches and spiders. , Wife (bitterlyl—You deceived me. when you married me.

They have been In active demend' 1n the markets of- the world since 1770, or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. 2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest _and highest class drugs obtainable. 3d. They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure. 4th. They never become inured to the system , that is, the same dose will always produce the same effect. This cannot truthfully be said of any other medicine. . There are others who claim it, but demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. 5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very acid condit1on. and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never cause'pain or otherinconvenience. 6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. 71h. BRANDRE'I‘H'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of sarsa- ' parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market. 8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism In almost every , instance. 9th. They are a.p081thC and effective remedy for constipation and for all the long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness, drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach, etc. Take one or two pills eve1y night—one 1s usually enough—and be certain that a cure wi ‘1 follow. They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear. BRANDRETH'S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and , women in delicate health. One pill is usually sufficient. No medicine is made with such infinite care a‘s BRANDRETH’S PILLS —no medicine but BRANDRETH'S PILLS is kept tor TWO 111;.an before they are boxed to be Suld. Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from four to eioht pills. the b‘cSt results are obtained by taking one oi- two pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’t bully your liver with powerful medicine, but coax it ‘with BRANDRETH’S PILLS. 14th. BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world. with and without sugar coating. They never fail to do their work. 1 11.001 131.011 Ioth. 12th. I 3th. Warranté‘d SBIid Cold.
