La Grippe.
During the prevalence of La Grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable
fact that those who depended upon Dr.
King’s New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
troub esome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in efi'ecting rapid cures not only
in cases of La Grippe, but in all Dis-
eases of Throat, Chest and Lungs, and
has cured cases of Asthma and Hay
Fever of long standing. Try it and be
convinced. It won’t disappoint. Free

A cable car ran wild in Broadway
yesterday, and shoved four other cars
ahead of it. Trucks were tossed aside
and horses were knocked down and
dragged along the street. The cable
became slack and twisted around. the
grip. It was necessary to stop the ca-
ble to bring the cars to~a standstill.
When a cable line car gets on' a rampage
it‘ is at good deal more terrifying than
the, alleged, “ deadly trolley.”

Dcprcdatlous of a Cool.
That : coon of Rueger’s, which ;_ has
been mentoring; around the burnout
on the corner of Ninth and Banksstreets
from-time, to time during the past three
months, made things lively Sunday after-
noon at Mr. B. A. Fox’s bird store on
Broad street. ' ’
Mr. Rueger got tired of the quadmped -
and wished to disposeof him. The coon
was accordingly turned over to Mr. Fox,
who was to sell him. He was kept ‘at
the .bird store. Sunday afternoon, when
everybody was away, there began a gen-
eral havoc on the part of the animal.
Climbing over a partition in a show win- ”
dow, he proceeded to chew up’ five'Abys-
sinian rabbits. Only one of the pets W55
left-to tell the tale. His codnship then
dined upon a handsome. Brahma cock in
the rear. of the establishment and after-
ward proceeded to deprive a beautiful
tropical song bird of his plumage. ,
He next made an attack on a‘ number
of goldfish, and when his appetite was
satisfied there wasn’t a single representa-
tive of the piscatorial tribe left in the
aquarium. Several other depredations
were committed, and his coonship was
making preparations to exterminate ev-
ery valuable bird in the establishment
when two festive coppers crawled over
the transom and put an end to his calcula-
tions. He was carried back to Rueger's,
but soon effected his escape and made it
lively for the squirrels in the Capitol
square. A'small regiment of small boys
were in pursuit of the animal, which
with an all important air mounted the
Washington monument and soon sat
complacently on the top of George’s head,
eying his pursuers with an expression of
mingled defiance and curiosity. He was
finally captured—Richmond Times.
Spollr and the Kings.
All are not kingly who wear a. crown.
At a court concert the Duchess of Goths
expressed in the curtest style her disap-
proval of the loud playing of Spohr, the
great violinist and composer. While he
was playing she sent a chamberlain to
request him not to make so much noise.
The king of Wurtemberg was in the
habit of amusing himself at a court con-
cert by playing cards. Spohr, being in-
vited to play before the king, informed
the chamberlain that he must decline
the honor unless the king abstained from
card playing. The Chamberlain was hor-
rified, but the violinist insisted, and the
king conceded the point. But in order
that the royal time might not be wholly
occupied in listening, he stipulated that
the two pieces set down in the pro-
gramme for Spohr should follow each
other. ‘
Nevertheless his majesty showed that
the violinist’s demand had ruffled the
royal temper. Etiquette prescribed that
the king should give the signal for ap-
plauding. _ At the conclusion of each
piecethe king gave no signal and a sol-
emn silence reigned in the salon. The
king had his small revenge.
The king of Bavaria was a gentleman.
At acourt concert he noticed that the
usher had neglected to place-a seatfor
Mine. Spohr, an excellent harpist, who
was to accompany her husband. The
king placed his throne chair onthe plat-‘
form and; with the mild insistence of a
gentleman compelled the lady to sit in it.

- . The Everlasting “Why.” . _
There is an ocean of the unfathomable
in every raindrop, and God says todayas
he said in the time of Job, “If you can-
not understand one drop of rain, do not
be surprised if my dealings with you are
inexplicable.” Why does that aged-man,
decrepit, beggared, vicious, sick .of the
world and the world sick of him, live
on, while h'ere is a. man in midlife, con-
secrated to God, hardworking, useful in
every respect, who dies? Why does that
old gossip, gadding along the street
about everybody’s business but her own,
have such good health, while the Chris-
tian mother with a flock of little ones
about her whom she is preparing for use-
fulness and for heaven—the mother who
you think could not be spared an hour
from that household—why does she lie
down and die with a cancer? Why does
that man, selfish to the core, go on
adding fortune to fortune, consuming
everything on himself, continue to pros-
per, while that man who has been giving
10 per cent of all his income to God and
the church goes into bankruptcy? Be-
fore we make stark fools of ourselves let
us stop pressing this everlasting “why.”
—-Dr. Talmage in Ladies’ Home Journal.
\Vasllington a City of Churches.
There is no city in the United States
which might be called the city of
churches with more appropriateness
than Washington. They are not partic-
ularly large or imposing, these Wash-
ington churches, but there is an im-
mense number of them. As a matter of
fact. the capital contains nearly 200
churches. The Methodist denomination
claims 52. The Baptists come next with
45, then the Episcopalians with 26 and
the Presbyterians with 21. The Roman
Catholics have 13, the Lutherans 10, the
Congregationalists 4, the Hebrews and
the Christians2each and the Unitariaus,
the Universalists and the Swedenbor-
gians 1 each. Besides these there are
half a dozen nonsetictu'ian bodies. ——

A Public Man’s Frankness.
What sunshine is to earth a. reasonable
publicity is to society. It is well enough
for every man to keep for himself some
cool and shady places where he may rest,
. but the more he can live openly, and if
‘ he is a public man the more frank and
unreserved he can make his relations
with other people, the better it is for
gllim, and if he is worth knowing thebet-
ter it is, for the other people too.—Ha.r.

People Who Forget Umbrellas.
“Oh, that’s nothing,” said the clerk as
he gathered up the abandoned umbrella;
“we find them here everyday.”
It was in a railer oflice, where peo-
ple came and went every few minutes.
And it was raining too.
“Now, you’d think,” he continued to
an amused gentleman, “that anybody
who had sense enough to come in when
it rains would have enough left to take
their umbrella with them if they didn’t
want to go in, wouldn’t you? But they
haven’t. There may be reason for a. chap
going away and leaving his cane on. the
counter, but I can’t exactly place those
who deliberately go out into the rain
and leave a silk umbrella behind them.
Yes, they come back sometimes—some-
times they don’t. There must be some-
thing in the fact of buying railroad tick-
ets. You see, they are not used to trav-
eling. Buying a railroad ticket is an
event to them. They show that by the
questions they ask. They have their
minds gorged with the important details
of the proposed journey, the time the
train is to start, the time it gets there,
the connections, the checking of baggage
and- all that sort of thing, and they
haven’t room for umbrellas and canes
and packages. It’s the same on the cars.”

The First Sight of Gibraltar.
The first sight of Gibraltar is, I think,‘
disappointing. It means so much, and
so many lives have been given for itand
so many great ships sunk by its batter-
ies,-and such great powers have warred
for. 1,200 years for its few miles of stone,
that its black outline. - against the sky,
with nothing to measure it with but the
fadingstars, is dwarfed and spoiled. It
isonly after the sun begins to turn the
lights out, and you are able to comma
it with the great ships at its base, and
you see the battlements and the mouths
of cannon and the clouds resting on its
top, that you understand it. And then
when the outline of the crouching lion
that has faced all Europe for a hundred
years comes into relief you rememberit
is, as they say, the lock to the Mediter-
ranean, of which England holds the key.
And even while you feel this and are
greedily following the course of each
rampart and terrace with eyes that are
tired of blank stretches of water some
one points to a low line of mountains
lying like blue clouds before the red sky
of the sunrise, dim, forbidding and mys-
terious—and you know that it is Africa.
-—Richard Harding Davis in Harper’s
Weekly.
Spontlni's Decorations.
Casparo Spontini regarded himself in
the light of a. demigod, and when in-
spirations crowded upon him he donned
a wide, togalika gown of white silk with
a border of gold and a fez of white silk
embroidered in gold, from which a heavy--
tassel hung down. With great dignity
he sat down before his desk, and if a
grain of dust was visible on the paper on
which he penned his music he rang the
bell impatiently for his servant to re-
move the obstacle. Spontini owned so
many medals and decorations that they
could no longer be accommodated on his
breast. At a grand musical reunion at
Hallo an old musician remarked to a
comrade, “See how many decorations
'Spontini has, while Mozart hasnot one.”
Spontini, who overheard it, replied
quickly, “Mozart, my dear friend, does
not need them.”—St. Louis Post-Disc

‘ “Lucky Pins” then-Fad.
“Lucky pins” are the favorite little
gifts of the hour, and: several, special pat.
terns aroused to signify good fortune to
the wearer. The mysterious virtue of
the horseshoe has long been recognized,
and of late years the mistletoe sprig has
been considered equally fortuitousfihile,
added to the merry thought, it acquires
new virtues. This, with.the “Campa-
nello Margherita,” which lathe facsim-
ile of anancient gold bell found during
the present excavations neat-.Romeand
presented .to the queen of Italy, are the
popular mascots of the day. The sides
of the latter bear the'inscription, “Tot

translation: “I (little bell) was. made
again' at fascination.”——New York Trib-
