Sugar Started Him.
She was not an S. P.C, A. woman,
but she was interested in animals and
she had heard somewhere that a lump
of sugar would start a balky horse
when nothing else would. The horses
have been having a hard time this
slippery weather, and when they have
been working some time, and -with
every step forward sliding two steps
backward, they give up in despair, and
then the crowd gathers to see the fun.
Ther was a balky horse in front of the
woman's house, and she had watched
for some time with much sympathy'
while the driver had tried every means
in his power to start the horse, but'
it took considerable courage to suggest'
her remedy. Finally she could bear;
it no longer, and getting a few lumps
of sugar she gave them to the driver
who held them in front of the horse's
nose, walked a few steps backward, the
poor old horse started up with new?
courage, and the trouble was over.
Great-Hearted Boy.
There is an 8-year-old boy in Em-
poria with a heart in him as big is a
man's, says an exchange. Observing
for successive days another boy, 6
years old, carrying big bundles of
clothes, which his mother washed in
order to earn a support for him and
her, an idea struck him that a nice
little red wagon would lighten his bur-
den. So he went among his friends
and collected $1.60 in nickles and with
this he bought the little wagon and
gave it to the washerwoman's boy for
a Christmas gift.
Germany and Asia Minor.
It is inevitable that Asia Minor shall
eventually pass from Mohammedanism,
and whether Germany accomplishes
the task or not, the Sultan must yield;
to a Christian nation. It is just as in-'
evitable that diseases of the digestive
organs must yield to Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which are usually called
dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness.
A law suit generally wears out at
the pockets.

TWO GRATEFUL WOMEN
Restored to Health by Lydia B.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Can Do My Own Work."
Mrs. Patrick Danehy,
West Winsted, Conn., writes:
"Deab Mrs. Pinkham:—It is with'
pleasure that I write to you of the
benefit I have derived from using your
wonderful Vegetable Compound. I was
very ill, suffered with female weak-
ness and displacement of the womb.
4 'I could not sleep at night, had to walk
the floor, I suffered so with pain in my
side and small of my back. Was trou-
bled with bloating, and at times would
faint away; had a terrible pain in my
heart, a bad taste in my mouth all the
time and would vomit; but now, thanks
to Mrs. Pinkham and her Vegetable
Compound, I feel well and sleep well,
can do my work without feeling tired;
do not bloat or have any trouble
whatever.
"I sincerely thank yon for the good
advice you gave me and for. what your
medicine has done for me." .
"Cannot Praise It Enough."
Miss Uebxtb Dttnkin,
Franklin, Neb., writes:
" I suffered for some time with pain-
ful and irregular menstruation, falling
of the womb and pain in the back. I
tried physicians, but found no relief.
" I was at last persuaded to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and cannot praise it enough for what
it has done for me. I feel like a new
person, and would not part with your
medicine. I have recommended it to
several of mv friends." 41*

HAS AN EXTENSIVE REPERTORY
Whistler of Chicago Who Measures Bis
Melody in Statute M lies.
He is a fairly goovi trhistler and ha*
some knowledge of music. He has
probably attended the grand opera and
recollects some of the airs easiest to
bring to mind. He is not a bashful
man, not inclined to hide his light
under a bushel. In fact, he distributed
melody over seven miles of Chicago
terrritory yesterday morning, regard-
less of the fact that the market price
on whistling was very bearish. He en-
tered an Alley "L" train at Lexington
avenue, opened his musical valve and
never left off until he debarked at
Fifth avenue and Madison. He broke
all records in this city, at least for
"continuous ^lerformance" whistling.
While he produced some things in old
and new opera, he was not limited to
mere classics. He warbled popular airs
as changes from the more stately num-
bers in his program, and tossed in a
few marches and two steps, cut in with
waltzes and polkas and even conde-
scended to furnish a few "coon" song3
.for good measure. Every inspiration
and expiration was accompanied by a
new note in the medley of gems. So
continuous and uninterrupted was the
flow of soul that the other passengers
abandoned all attempts to read the
news and in more or less excitement
listened to him w^o whistled. As soon
as he took his seat he puckered his lips
and sent forth the prelude and inter-
mezzzo by Mascagni. Then he passed
to the "Salve Dimora" from "Faust,"
but became involved in some of its in-
tricacies. He jumped skillfully into
"Cold Black Lady," and having wound
this up dashed into a favorite march.
Then he tackled Walther's song in
"Tannhauser" and wrestled with it to
good effect. Having accomplished i.. s
•in three miles of his journey, he got to
.work on the "Jolly Brothers' " waltz,
.danced through it and back again into
romantic opera. He had everything his
.own way for nothing feazed him. He
was harder to knock out than Sharkey.
Remarks in revilement passed over his
head and mingled confusedly with the
liquid melody which his pursed-up lips
sent forth. One passenger rode three
stations farther than necessary in or-
der to observe how long it would last.
He got off with the warbler and follow-
ed him to the street. Still the music
flowed merrily on and the man of many
tunes disappeared down the avenue
still busy with his mouthpiece. "Sam
Weller in Bath was not half so great as
he," muttered the man who followed.
"As an all-around, two-handed whist-
ibr that man is entitled to a monu-
ment."

Lord Charles It ores ford as a Boy.
Lord Charles Beresford, who would
be hard to beat for popularity in the
British navy, had a favorite hobby as
a boy, which was in a way prophetic
of his future calling. This hobby or
pastime was that of modeling boats,
and he was exceedingly skillful in this
direction. These boats he would give
as birthday presents to thosg people
for whom he had some special affec-
tion. Quite a number of them are in
existence. "I would give anything to
get one of them back," he remarked
one day, "as a reminiscence of my
schoolboy days. I offered one old
friend 50 pounds for a little model,
which certainly was not worth Ave
shillings. But neither he nor any c-f
those who possess them will part with
them. So after all I must console my-
self with the thought that my litti*
boats are regarded by those who havi
them with a certain amount of af-
fection."

RECENT INVENTIONS.
Doors can be easily kept closed by a

one end to the door frame, with a cord
running from the other end through
pulleys to the top of the door, the

Oil lanterns are prevented from ex-
ploding when tipped over by the use of
a new burner attachment, consisting
of a weighted slide inside the lantern,
which holds the wick and is balanced
so that a tip of the lantern causes it to
fall into the burner opening and pre-
vent the oil from running out.
A combined boat, tent and bed has
been designed for campers' use, con-
sisting of a canvas cover, to be fast-
ened to the mast and extended to the
edges of the boat to inclose part of it,
the balance being covered by canvas
stretched on a low frame, with a mat-
tress underneath, which can be folded
when not in use.
ANIMALS THAT ACT.
Patsy, the Irish donkey, is well
known on the stage. He is talented
and always in demand. Last season he
played in comic opera.
In regard to trained birds, a falcon
appears In the play "The Countess and
the Serf" and carrier pigeons are well
known in numerous plays, especially
Kerry Gow."
Every one who saw the play will re-
member the Arabian horses in "The
Still Alarm." Two other star animals,
Forest Temple and Jim Key, are al-
ways under engagement, so talented
are they. >
The pastoral plays of today have
made necessary the introduction of an-
imals to the stage. In "White Heath-
er" a flock of sheep is one of the feat-
ures. It was an easy matter to get the
flock accustomed to trotting across the
stage after the leader was trained.
When he was. used to it the rest fol-
lowed him. In "The Bonnie Brier
Bush," also a flock of sheep appears.

London, and as a director of the St
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba rail-
way and the Great Northern railway,
of Minnesota, is Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal. His recent prominence
in connection with the governor gen-
eralship lends additional interest to the
new member of the house of lords,
whose projects have been almost as
intimately identified with the United
States as they have with Canada.
Since the tempestuous days of '37 no
such Interest in the governor general-
ship has been shown in Canada as has
been manifested the past year. After
the departure of Lord Dufferin the ap-
pointment of the queen's son-in-law to
Rideau hall seemed a nearer drawing
of the dominion to the throne of Eng-
land. It amounted to little more than
a deserved compliment, however, and
things jogged along after the same old
fashion until a French-Canadian lib-
eral gave promise in his election to the
premiership of making radical chang-
es. Would the mother land give Can-
ada a successor to Lord Aberdeen from
among the representative men who
had wrought out the destiny of the
young nation? If such a departure
^rom British conservatism had been
made it was an open secret that vice
regal honors would have fallen to Lord
Strathcona and Mount Royal. The
time for such home rule has not come
in the dominion, however, and Lord

Lansdowne during the Riel rebellion.

Lord Strathcona's Canadian home is
one of Montreal's show places. Its
huge granite pile, with conical towers,
was built a few'years ago. Its gallery
of paintings contains one of the most
famous collections of old masters and
modern originals in America. The
history of each canvas or curio and
the rare specimens of oriental art that
adorn the Japanese and other apart-
ments of this princely home would
each be an interesting theme for a
story. The windows of the great din-
ing hall bear portraits of the succes-
sive presidents of the Hudson Bay
Company, and are surmounted by the
monogram "H. B. C."
WILHELMINA'S BETROTHED.
The Iong-talked-of betrothal of the
youthful and interesting Queen Wil-
helmina of Holland has at last been
virtually decided, the happy fiance and
future Dutch prince consort being his
highness Prince William of Wied, a
kinsman of her majesty.
The queen, as is generally known,
was 18 at her accession, Aug. 31, and
Prince William will be 23 March 26.
He was born at Neuwied, the capital
of his father's domains, situated in
Rhenish Prussia, and is a lieutenant
of the Prussian regiment of the corps
of the guards stationed at Potsdam.
He belongs to the evangelical church
and the queen to the reformed. The
prince's parents are H. S. H. the reign-
ing Prince William, born Aug. 22, 1845,
a Prussian general and hereditary
member of the house of peers, and

LORD STRATHCONA.
has received the approbation of Wind-
sor castle and Canada as Aberdeen's
successor. But it does not alter the
fact that in London as high commis-
sioner and peer of the realm. Lord
Strathcona stands as one of the stumg-
est factors in Canadian politics.
His lordship's latest project in rela-
tion to colonization which, it is said,
will shortly be submitted to the gov-
ernment, is unique. It is to establish
agricultural and colonial schools where
youths from Great Britain will be
trained in farming, mining and ranch-
ing, coupled with a military education?
.These schools will be established at
Brandon, Winnipeg, Calgary and else-
where, in buildings erected at govern-
ment expense. At the end of three
years those government proteges who
•give satisfaction will receive diplomas,
Vn addition to donations of eighty to
160 acres of land.
' It is not generally known in the
United States that Lord Strathcona,
as Sir Donald Smith, participated
largely in the early "development" of
our own northwest, and that he has
much capital invested with us, whether
we like it or not. When the decree to
create the "first baron of Strathcona
and Mount Royal" was decided upon
as a jubilee tribute to Sir Donald
Smith it was judged appropriate to
confer upon him the title of Mount
Royal—"Montreal"—in remembrance
of his princely donations to that city.
It was likewise deemed proper to per-
mit the new baron'c use of the beaver
—Canada's heraldic animal—the em-
blem of perseverance, as a charge on
his enctttcheon. But when it came to
combining with Mount Royal "Glen-
coe," the name of Sir Donald's high-
land estate, as was first intended, that
was quite another affair. Glencoe was
an acquisition by purchase, neither
conquest nor inheritance having any-
thing to do with it, a fact that consti-
tuted cause for annoyance in the
breasts of some of the sensitive de-
scendants of the lairds of Glencoe.
The future laird of that estate, how-
ever, was equal to the emergency.
Glen and Strath are said to he syno-
nyms for small ravine, while both
coe and cona mean stream, making
.Glencoe and Strathcona to mean vir-
tually the same thing.

the adventurous son of a Scotch gen-
tleman, lie preferred the dangers of a
and Princess Louise of Prussia, sister
of Emperor William I. The prince
has a younger brother, Victor, born
Dec. 7, 1877, an officer in the Prussian
regiment of Uhlans No. 3 of the guards,
and two young sisters, Princess Louise
and Elizabeth, respectively 18 and 16
years of age. His aunt is the queen
of Roumania, "Carmen Sylva," and

How She Won Him.
The Sweet Girl—Why have you
never married? The Rich Bachelor—
Well, to tell you the truth, I ha^te never
seen a woman that came up to the
mark which I have set for myself. The
Sweet Girl—Oh, but why do you insist
upon loojting only among women?
Why wo^lfet a girl do? He gazed at
her for a moment and then decided
that he had been on the wrong track.
do tAleep Good- Natured.
Now, oijr word of warning. Try to
keep,your face as reposeful as possible
when sleeping. This is the time that
nature repletes the waste of the day.
And if you would be pretty you must
help her. She cannot do it unassisted.
If she wants to fill up the tissues of the
skin at night try to remember that
when gou go to Bleep you must do so
"vlth a reposeful smils on your face.
Where?
At the reception the mild man with
e melancholy air was talking to a
whom he had known for some
iars, but only saw infrequently.
"Ah," he remarked, "I saw you last
week. Now, where was it? Some aw-
fully stupid place, I remember. Where
was it?"
"Why, it was at your wife's 'At
Home."
The gentleman with the melancholy
air now became more melancholy than
ever.
Drawing Trade.
A Russian shopkeeper has hit upon
this form of advertisement! "The
reason why I have hitherto been able
to sell my goods so much cheaper than
anybody else is that I am a bachelor,
and do not need to make a profit for
the maintenance of a wife and chil-
dren. It is now my duty to inform the
public that this advantage will shortly
be withdrawn from them, as I am
about to be married. They will, there-
fore, do well to make their purchases
at once at the old rates."
Fallen to Buin.
The Briars, near Millwood, Clarke
county, Virginia, the old home of John
Esten Cooke, the southern novelist, has
fallen into ruin, and the rain has pour-
ed in through the broken panes of the
study windows and destroyed quanti-
ties of the writer's correspondence
with famous men and all his literary
remains. A traveler who visited the
place some little time ago rescued val-
uable autograph letters from "Jeb"
Stewart, William G. Simms and Paul
H. Hayne.
\
Why Th >y Married.
'"Well, sir, I had no more thought of
getting married to-day when I went
to bed last night than I had of shoot-
ing myself," said Frank Provost of
Kansas City, Mo., when he applied to
Judse Herr of Kansas City, Kas., for
a marriage license. "P.ut after I got
up this morning," he continued, "the
weather was so bad that I was seized
with an attack of the blues, and, meet-
ing my sweetheart, we decided to get
married. She had the blues, also."
Bemarkable Operation.
A remarkable surgical operation has
been recently performed in Paris. A
laundress had her scalp torn off from
the nape of the neck to the eyebrows
by her hair catching in some belt-
ing. She was taken to the Broussals
hospital, where Dr. Malherbe, after
seeing her, sent for her scalp. He ob-
tained it after a delay of several hours,
shaved off the hair, washed it with an-
tiseptics, and applied it in place again.
The scalp has grown onto the head.
Due to Beporters.
"Ah," said the prominent statesman
as he settled back in his chair to read
his paper, "all my success in this world
is due to that young man who just left
me."
"So?"' inquired one of his friends,
"and who is he, pray, may I ask?"
"Certainly," came the brisk reply.
"He is Snorkins. the young reporter
who writes all my interviews for the
newspapers."
Queer Case.
"There is a man that I would trust
anywhere."
"Yes, and he would probably fool
you."
' Never! There isn't a dishonest
drop of blood in his veins."
• Why are you so sure about it?"
' He doesn't try to create the im-
pression, that he gets twice the salary
he actually receives."
Two Blocks for a Drink.
"Well, how do you like your subur-
ban home with all the city cenveni-
ences?" asked the citizen.
"Between you and me," said the man
who had moved lately, "that promise
of all city conveniences proves to be
a fake. I have to walk two blocks to
get a drink."
Bulled Cnder Floor.
In certain parts of Africa it is con-
sUered a mark of disrespect to bury

Pastry Without ButterX A y
Light, flaky and digestible pie crust and all kinds of fine
pastry can be made with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
entirely without batter or with one half the usual quantity,
or with a little lard or other shortening if desired. Pie crust
made in either of these ways is more wholesome and digest-
able besides being more economical and easier prepared. One-
third the flour can also be dispensed with, and the crust rolled that
much thinner, the raising qualities, of Dr. Price's Powder swell-
ing it to the requisite thickness. Those who enjoy the appetizing
qualities of the delicious home made pie will rejoice to know
secret. All the elements of ideal excellence are combined in
Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder
Official Tests at the World's Columbian Expo-
sition and the California Midwinter Fair showed
it to be the highest in leavening power, purity and
wholesomeness, and to have the best keeping quali-
ties of any baking powder made. They proved it to be
"The Foremost Baking Powder in all the World.*!
Vegetabln Lizard.
Mr. A. H. Verrill describes in Popu-
lar Science News a chorus inhabitant
of tropical forestr. called the lizard
tree, but which, he remarks, might
well be named the centipede plant.
This singular growth consists of a
stem jointed like a bamboo, with
green leaves growing directly from the
bark, and slender white roots springing
from the joints, with which it main-
tains its hold upon the bark of the
tree whereon it grows. When it has
attained a length of 3 or 4 feet, the
lower sections of the lizard plant drop
off, and, fastening upon any convenient
object, begin their independent growth.
When thus growing upon the ground,
if the plant encounters a tree it imme-
diately begins to ascend the trunk.
Cheapest Cab Service.
I Paris, has the cheapest cab sen Ice to
be fund anywhere in the world, and
I ribout all the -cabs there belong to one
| great company. The fares are regu-
lated by law, and the company is dis-
couraged from charging excessive fares
: by a law which compels it to divide
its surplus earnings with the city. And
this, notwithstanding the fact that it
| pays about $700,000 a year for its 11-
; cense fees alone.

Asa Robinson, of Mt. Sterling, m., is a veteran of the Civil war, having
served in the 83rd Pennsylvania volunteers. He went to the war a vigor-
ous fanner's boy and came beck broken in health, a victim of sciatic rheu-
matism. Most of the time he was unfitted for manual labor of any kind,
and his sufferings were at all times intense. He aays: "Nothing seemed
to give me permanent relief until three yean ago, when my attention was
called to some of the wonderful cures effected By Or. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. I had not taken more than half a box when I noticed an
improvement in my condition, and I keep on improving steadily. To them
I owe my restoration to health. They are a grand remedy."—ML Sterling
