Recently a wealthy merchant In Paris who does an extensive business with* Japan was informed that a prominent arm in xoKonania naa laiiea, Dut uie name bf the firm he could not learn, though he was most anxious to ascertain whether it .was the one with which he did most of his business in that city. He coiiJd have learned the truth by cab.ing. but instead he went to the man, a well known banker, who had received the news and requested him to reveal the name of the firm to him. "That's a very delicate thing to do," replied the banker, "for the news is not official, and if I gave you the name I might incur some responsibility." The merchant argued, but in vain, and finally he made this proposition: "I will give you," he said, "a list of ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask you to look through it and then to tell y me, without mentioning any name,/ whether or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in it Surely you will do that for me?" "Yes," said the banker, "for if I do not mention any name I cannot be held responsible in any way." The list was made. The banker looked through it and as he banded it back to tbe merchant said, "The name of the firm which has failed is there." "Then I've lost heavily," replied tbe merchant, "for that is the firm with which I did business." showing him a name on the list "But how do you know that is tbe nrm w&icn nas raiiear assea tne i banker in surprise. "Very easily," replied the merchant - "Of the ten names on the list only one is genuine, that of the firm with which I did business. All the others are fictitious." Lots of people who suffer from constipation or biliousness know they need a medicine but refrain, dreading the* common griping, purging, sickening sensations of the ordinary remedies. Now we are prepared to supply a treatment that is void of these unpleasant effects?a modern, mild, pleasant, thorough remedy? Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets.

"Not at all," replied Schumann; "for me wagner is linpossioie. uouDiiess I A he is a very clever man, but he talks too fast?one cannot get a word in." Some time after, in an. interview which Hauslick had with Wagner, allusion was made to Schumann, v "With Schumann," said Wagner, "it \ is impossible to arrive at an understanding. He says nothing. Some years ago on my return from Paris I called upon him to talk of operas, concerts, composers and other interesting matters with which I had become acquainted. Schumann looked at me stolidly, or rather he looked into space, without saying a word. Faith, I took f leave of him almost immediately. He is an impossible man." Taking; Ho Chances. "Do you mean to say that you don't want a railway through Crimson Gulch?" asked the astonished surveyor. "That's exactly what I mean to say, young feller." answered Broncho Bob. "Cactusville got a railroad, didn't it? And they hadn't It two weeks before a couple of men won half the money in camp, got cold feet, took the train and was gone forever and ever. Crimson j Gulch ain't takiu' any such chances." I ? t? u&uuigiuu oiur. Startling, But True. "If every one knew wbafc a grand medicine Dr. King's New Life Pills is," writes D. H.

Brittany is a land where the peasants till the earth in zouave trousers, toreador jackets covered with arabesque embroideries and green waistcoats around which run lines of crimson. The women wear short red skirts, great medici collars and coifs that flutter about their heads like the wings of doves. From beneath the points of their black caps the- children gaze at you with wide eyes full of the curiosity of animals. These people live in houses built of sculptured granite and sleep in openaawvt/v/4 lilrA m/Mloho ro. ? \JL 2\. UUdCLd LU1 V CU liau UiL uivuv,Mu?.u bieks of Egypt. In spite of the "Breton Interiors" and "Returns of the Fishermen" with which painters swamp the market this race is still unknown or misunderstood, for they should be seen not in paintings, but in their homes, in their old time streets, on market days and when, in fair time, the tents are pitched In the village market places. ; Fiery'little horses draw to market fish, fine vegetables and all the early produce of Roscoff. They are spread out upon the sidewalk. Chickens cackle; goats bleat; pigs, tied by the leg, strain toward the vegetables, sniffing at the fresh greens. Farmers in sabots, carrying great blue umbrellas under their arms, with the two ribbons of their felt hats floating down their backs, pick their way among the Dinan china displayed on the ground?capacious soup tureens, cider jugs and plates covered with painted flowers and grotesque figures. The peasants converse with but few gestures; they bargain in gutteral tones. These taciturn people forget themselves in the barrooms on fair days. The taverns are full of noise. You may hear the sound of an accordion and the plaintive note of the biniou (a sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous e\ d nrot Into the harbor come boats .laden with fish; other boats go out The fishermen are fall of business. Next week will occur the departure for the new country. There are women who weep. Above all this agitation the smoke of the village chimneys mingles with the great white clouds. The quiet sea mirrors the sun.?Artist Castaigne in Century. If you are bilious and seeking advisers. Take DeWitt's Little Early Risers, Just before going to bed. You will find on the morrow. You are rid of your sorrow? That's all; just enough said. These famous pills do not gripe, but move the bowels gently and easily, cleansing the liver. Their tonic effect gives strength to the glands, preventing a return of the disorder. J. S. Kaafmann. The Coming Conveyance. The trolly car seems to be the coming means of locomotion and in this event steam railways will be one of the bas beens. Electric trolly lines are being built all over the country and others are being projected with every assurance of completion. In our own State there are at this time several electric lines in successful operation and one or two more are in their embrayo state. Those lines which have been in operation a snffi cient length of time to demonstrate their capabilities as money earners have proven to be a safe and sound investment for capital. The latest project being considered is a line from Aiken via Wagener to Columbia. Whether or not, however, any practical results will come of this agitation, remains to be seen. If you have a bad cold you need a good reliable medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to loosen a&Vl relit re it, and to allay the irritation and inflammation of the throat and lungs. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. Take some imagination, mix with a little passion, bottle it up?and you have a love affair. A man who marries for money may lack sentiment, but he has a large stock of good horse sense. If a man never changes bis mind he is eiteer very bright or very stubborn. A vuestion settled by force, rather than reason, always comes up for resettlement. There probably never wa3 a time when all men were satisfied with their share. Some Gf&ce-holdera seem to forget the time when they were officeseekers. No disappointment can be quite so intolerable as disappointment m one's self. A Thanksgiving- Dinner. Heavy eating is usually the first cause of indigestion. Repeated attacks inflame the mucous membranes lining the stomach, exposes the nerves of the stomach, producing a swelling after eating, heartburn, headache, sour risings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and cures the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening the glands of the Btomach. J. E.

The world, we have been assured time and again, knows nothing of its greatest men. Perhaps it is equally ignorant about its greatest books. Are we quite sure that the idols in our literary pantheon are arrayed in their due order of precedence? The rules of precedence change, and who shall assert that those prevalent at any given - time are the final ones? But, above all, are we quite certain that there may not be a notable work of genius lying unnoticed and unknown amid the wrecks of the river of time, waiting only for some lucky accident that shall reveal it in all Its beauty to an astonished world? Such accidents with such results have been frequent In the history of the past.. Indeed such accidents have preserved or have revealed to the world no insignificant proportion of its now acknowledged masterpieces. The books of the Bible themselves have experienced the narrowest escapee from what might have resulted In their total loss. The most notable example is that of Deuteronomy, which disappeared from the Jewish world for over a century. The story of its rediscovery by the high priest Hezekiah during the reign of good King Josiah is set fortji In the Old Testament. Shakespeare was practically forgotten in the days when Addison wrote his "Account of the Greatest English Poets," with never a mention of the name of the very greatest, yet it was shortly afterward that Shakespeare was resuscitated. Fitzgerald's "Omar Khayyam" and Blackmore's "Lorna Dooiie" dropped stillborn from the press and later won a sudden popularity by accident?William S. Walsh in Era Magazine. n-ii- _ P/.<ian4.|AU* jranuuuu una Many of the leading people in English society regarded Thomas Carlyle with a feeling almost akin to reverent delight when he chose to behave like an ignorant boor in their drawing rooms, even taking his seat, it is said, unbidden in the presence of the queen. This generation, however, has little patience with such eccentricities. It was an English bishop who, when the historian Freeman had worn out his patience with his rudeness, introduced him to a waiting audience as "the distinguished scholar that so admirably describes and illustrates the savagery of our ancestors." Treatins: Bnrns. Cold water with ice in it is the tiling to use when an accidental burn from dcids or alkalis is encountered. Nitric acid gets spilt at times, or even vitriol may. A limb burned with acids must be plunged in cold water and kept there, so that the water may dilute the traces of the acid in the skin as much as possible. When acid burning causes injury, the water should be rendered alkaline by adding soda to counteract the acid. Botanical Xote.
