Hclahazzer'a Warning.
"Tried in the balance and found
wanting'' is the general verdict ren-
dered against most of the so called
cures for lung troubles. Such a decis-
ion has never been given against Dr.
It. V. Pierce's "Goldon Medical Dis-
covery." On the contrary it is con-
ceded by thousands who have tried it
to bo the only remedy for consump-
tion (scrofula of the lungs) and scrofu-
lous diseases dencrally. it will not
cure when both lungs are most gone
but if taken when the disease is iu the
first stages it never fails. It is also
specific lor such scrofulous affections
as fever-sores white swellings hipjoint
disease and great eating ulcers and
for blood taints generally from what-
ever cause arising liy Druggists.

How the Suez Oniinl Is Worked.
PYoa tliu Saturday review.
"The way in which the canal is work-
ed from the Suez oflico is like many
other ingenious devices exceedingly
simple. It is asciibed to the local
head of theadministration M. Chart-
rey who deserves immense credit both
for the invention itself una for the way
in which it is applied to the trnflic.
Against the wall at one side of the
room is a narrow shelf or platform
along which runs a groove. At inter-
vals this trouch or groovo has deep
recesses and at two places these re-
cesses are of larper size. This troueh
or groove represents the canal. The
recesses are the sidings. The larger in-
tervals are the Great Hitter Lake and
Lake Timsah. When a vessel has
been signaled and is about to enter
the canal say at the Suez end a email
toy boat or model three or four
inches long is chosen to represent her.
A group of these model ships stands
ready beside the model canal each
furnished with a flag. About forty
have the English flag ten or a dozen
the French (lag and so on with other
nationalities. As the steamer comes
up and her name is known it is writ-
ten on paper and pjaced on the toy
boat. The whole number of ships
thus actually in the canal at any mo
ment can be seen at a glance; and as
tho telegraphic signals give notice
the toy boats are moved aloiiL'
or placed in a siding or shown tra-
versing one of the lakes at full speed.
Signals are sent from the oflice to the
various 'gares' prescribing the siding
ut which each ship must m op to let
another ship meet and pass it. The
official who is on duty keeps the mod-
els moving as he receives notice tak-
ing care when perhaps two ships go-
ing in opposite directions are Hearing
the same siding to give timely warn-
ing to the pilots in charge by means
of the signal balls and flags at each
stlition under his control from tho
office and to direct which of the two
is to tie up and which to proceed.
Barring accidents the whole arrange-
ment goes like dock work the clerk can
read off in a moment the name ton-
nage nationality draught and actual
situation of every steamer; he can tell
what pilot she has on board what is
her breath of beam what rate she is
moving at and everything elso which
has to be known about her; and be is
able without an effort to govern her
movements to prescribe the place
where she is to get under way in the
morning although be does not see
her and probably never saw her in
his life.
"The loss of the Soudan has dimin-
ished tho trade of Suez and in aslight
degree the traffic of the canal which
has also been alloc ted by the state of
the market in England and tho long
commercial depression. Nevertheless
there are often as many as forty
steamers dotted about on different
parts of M. Chartray'a model and the
fees.payablo only in specie are often
enormous. Some of the large Aus-
tralian lines of the Peninsular and
Oriental or the Orient service pay as
much as !t(;00 in making a .single
transit.

He Wouldn't Spoil the Dinner.
From tho Detroit Free Press.
An old war veteian who hud been
through half a dozen campaigns ami
was not very particular about what
he ate was invited out to a swell din-
ner party. He sat almost directly
opposite the hostess and was pain-
fully conscious that every move be
made could be observed by her. Sud-
denly at the height of the festivities
the veteran came across a caterpillar
in his salad. A furtive glance at the
hostess disclosed the fact tha. she
A 1 3 .1 . 1 1
. .rf ... ...... ........... . . .
circumstance. It was a critical mo-
ment but the old soldier was equal
to the occasion. Without changing a
muscle he gathered up the caterpillar
with a forkful of the salad and swal-
lowed both! The look ot gratitude
which he received from his hostess a
few minutes later warmed the very
cockles of his heart. In due time the
story leaked out and when somebody
asked the old campaigner how he
liked caterpillar salad the reply came
like a hot shot: "Do you take me for
a man who would spoil adinner party
for a little thing like a caterpillar!"
The Two Made a Man.
From the New York Sim.
"Fred Gibbs was sergeant major in
the 148th New York Infantry and
one of bis chums was my iriend Hor-
ace Rumsey. of Seneca Falls who was
first sergeant in Company A in the
same regiment. Gibbs wound was an
ugly one. The ball tore through his
cheeks and mouth and knocked out
his teeth and rendered him speechlees.
A little further along the line lay his
friend Rumsey unable to move with
a bullet wound in his thigh. In cet-
ting off the field GibbJ found his old
friend and in sign language made
known hie loss cf speech. 'I an you
walk' inquired Rumsey. Gibbs nod-
ded his bead. 'Well' said Rumsey 'I
can talk but I can't walk a step. Let
me climb on your back and you walk
and I'll talk. The two of us will just
make a man.' Gibbs knelt down and
let his friend climb on his shoulders
and the pair made their wry safely to
the rear. The rear guard stopped
them and asked searching questions
which Rumsey answered vigorously
shileGibba stood mute. They were
passed."
Fashionable Uses of Flowers.
Tho New York correspondent of the
Springfield Union speaks of the fash-
ionable uses to which flowers aie now
put: wnf '
The business of florists twenty and
even ten years ago was rather poor
compared with the immense orders
they now receive. Flowers are always
fashionable and are constantly grow-
ing in demand. Of course every funer-
al wedding and ball reception is
bountifully supplied. There is never
a fine dinner given in New York with-
out a counterpiece lor the table of
flowers and corsage bouquets for the
women and boutonnieres for the men.
A woman who sits in a box at the op-
era always has her bouquet. Men
after five o'clock wear dowers in their
buttonholes every day; that is if they
are society men also a great many
who are not but Who like
flowers. Col. Robort G. Inger-
soll Daniel Dougherty and Jo-
aquin Miller wear flowers for they are
specially fond of them. Nearly every
member of the stock exchange has a
flower and most men have a distinc-
tive flower. I know a man who never
wears anything but a sprig of smilax
of the tiniest leaves; another always
wears violets; another mignonette;
still anotherlilies of the valley; anoth-
er a small yellow flower and a cer-
tain well-known man about town a
carnation pink. So theio are hun-
dreds of ways in which to use flowers.
Women aro fond of using them at
their regular weekly receptions and
as a medium of love they aro invalua-
ble. Tliey art olten worth ten times
their weight in gold. How many of
love's contracts have been consum-
mated with flowers! There is a new
rose that is very fashionable this year
called "her majesty." It is very large
and full ol a pinkish white. A lead-
ing llorist has bad his window filed
with them the past week and so
great were thecrowds to look at them
that a policeman was necessary to
make the people move on. "They are
so perfect they look as if they must
be artificial there isn't a blemish on
one of them" remarked a woman;
paradoxical but stili a fact. The
price of these roses is 8-0 each. Ber-
ry Wall a young man who is some-
times called the "king of the dudes"
bought one of these roses recently;
certainly not for himself; they aretoo
large.
The Unwritten Kiiilroiul Law.
An unwritten law of railroad travel
ling lounded on courtesy and sanction-
ed by custom permits a passenger
who wishes to leave his seat for a few
minutes to secure it till hit return by
leaving therein a satchel or overcoat
or even a cane Now and then a new-
comer whose sellisbness is his law
violatM this custom by removing the
sign of occupancy and placing himself
in the seat. An amusing case of this
sort of ill-breeding is reported by the
Hart lord Times:
A gentleman had oocaaion to leave
his seat for a few moments at a sta-
tion and on returning found his over-
coat and satchel removed and bis
seat taken possession of by a young
man and "his best girl."
The gentleman said to the young
man "I think I am entitled to this
scat as I left articles in it while I step-
ped to the platform for a moment."
Said the young man "Possession
is nine points of the law and I think
we will keep the seat."
"Then" said the gentleman "will
you please rise that I may get my
ambrcUaf"
Tho young man could not refuse
this reasonable request and ns he
rose from t he seat the gentleman slip-
peu into o lUUCh to mo ttiiiUBeincni
of the other passengers.
The young man then requested his
"best girl" to go with him to another
seat. In reply she said "I can't get
out."
"Will you rise" said the young man
to the gentleman "and allow this
lady to come out?"
"1 think not" said the latter. "If
possession is nine points of the law I
propose to avail myself of the same
and if your friend wishes to vacate
the seat she can step over or in
front."
She did so without delay causing
more than a smile from those who
witnessed the performance.
He Took His Lite in His Hand.
It was once my fortune says Mau-
rice Thompson to see a young man
take an ax in hand and walk across
200 yards of open ground under the
fire of 400 dismounted troopers and
deliberately cut down a telegraph
pole. While he was chopping away at
the tough cedar wood I could plainly
see the splinters whirling away from
the pole from top to bottom aa the
whiir.ing bul!ets aimed at him
crushed through it or seamed its sides
with ragged scars. Near by stood a
brick chimney where a house had
burned down; a 12-pound shot struck
the pile and it went tumbling to the
earth scattering its bricks about
some of them striking the young sol-
dier's leg. He did not waver. As reg-
ular as the beat of a pendulum was
the swing of that ax and when t be
pole fell friends and foes vied together
in yelling their admiration of the
young man as he deliberately shoul-
dered his ax and returned tohia place
iu his command. Boston Advertiser.
