Savage Landor, in his book of travel, "Across Coveted Lands," relates an amusing railway incident that occurred in Russia while he was en route to Persia. "Unable to get at my towels packed In my registered baggage and ignorant of the Russian language," he says, "I / > ? o fpllmr nfissensrcr iU\j[UUCU VI vt |/Vij *V ?v .. L ? _?.0 .what was the Russian word for towel, so that I could ask the guard for one. 'Palatiensi,' said he, and I repeated palatiensi, palatiensi, palatiensi,' so as to impress the word well upon my memory. Having enjoyed a good wash and a shampoo and dripping all over with water, I rang for the guard, and, sure enough, when the man came I could not recollect the word. At last it dawned upon me that it was 'palatinski,' and 4palatienski' I asked of the guard. To my surprise the guard ?miled graciously, and, putting on a modest air, replied, 'Palatinski niet, paruski' ('I do not speak Latin, I speak only Russian'), and the more I repeated falatmski,' putting the inflection now on one syllable, then on the other, to make him understand, the more flattered the man seemed to be, and modestly gave the same answer. "This was incomprehensible to me until my polyglot fellow passenger came to my assistance. 'Do you know what you are asking the guard?' he said in convulsions of laughter. 'Yes, I am asking for a palattaski?a towei/ -i>o, you are not!' and he positively went into hysterics. 'Palatinski means "Do you speak Latin?" How can you expect a Russian railway guard to speak Latin? Look how incensed the poor man is at being mistaken for a Latin scholar! Ask- him for a palatiensi, and he will run for a towel.' "Tffe man did run on the magic word being pronounced and duly returned with a nice clean palatiensi, which, however, was of little use to me, for. I had by this time got dry by the natural processes of dripping evaporation." THE PERIPATETIC BEAR. Summer Outing; of a Mother Grizzly and Her Young; Ones. There is a deal of discussion among hunters after big game in the mountains concerning the sort of fathers and husbands grizzly bears make, says a writer in Outing. The consensus of opinion seems to be that bruin is an unfaithful, heartless spouse and a contemptible father. He will help Mme. Bruin seek a cave or an opening in the rocks or mountain side, where their cubs may be born, and he will carry a dainty morsel, such as a sheep, a calf or part of a cow's carcass there for his mate's food. However, a few days after the cubs are born in the family circle he will leave the home, probably never having any further ac* quaintance with his spouse and her offspring. Thereafter Mme. Bruin must make her own way and provide for her cubs. Unlike the black bear, which is a jolly, fun loving father that rolls and frolics with his baby children, the male grizzly will have nothing to do with the cubs. Mme. Grizzly and her children are companions for two summers, and they hibernate rolled together in a ball of fur for about 100 days, during the coldest days of winter. The mother bear and her young travel far and wide, moving principally at night. Kit Carson said that the wide range of a family of healthy grizzlies in a summer season is almost incalculable. He had reason to know of a mother grizzly and her two cubs that once left their hibernating cave among the southern spurs of the Kocky mountains in New Mexico one spring in the f/wfinc r.FAcefwl Pnlnrrirla nnr?

A young woman living in a suburban village turned her graceful talent for dancing to account by carrying on tbe instruction of the young folks in the neighborhood in that art. At the beginning of the term her class was attended by an aw):ward, overgrown girl who was much in need of such culture. She was the daughter of a local undertaker. After two lessons she discontinued attendance, and one of her acquaintances asked her why she had given up her lessons. "Well," said she, "Miss Blank never patronizes my father, and so I won't patronize her school." ?

"I have been a very healthy woman, and this time has been verv hard with me." writes Mrs. Maggie Morris, of Munson Station. Clearfield Co.. Pa., Box 16.

Bradly, president of the Iowa college, submits to an Iowa paper two questions, as follower 1. If a Judge may enjoin union labor from ordering a strike, why may he not upon application eDjoin capitalists against reduction of wages, or other acts alleged to be oppressive to laboi? 2. If it is good law for United States courts to intervene in behalf of interstate railroads why is it not good law for the same courts to redress grievances of employees engaged in interi state commerce? The Sioux City | Journal in reply to these questions i g tys that "the obvious answer in both queries is that an injunction in one case would be just as logical as in the other." And 3 e? we do not recall an instance where a federal judge has applied the writ of injunction in this way to corporations. Spring and Snmmer Fashions. Frotu tha May Delineitor. Flower effects are the chief distinction of the sheer Summer fabrics The Lou9ine silks have acquired nuch softness and grace that tney are extensively used for all around Summer g0WD, aud the Habutai and Tokio va rieties exhibit au embroidered elaboration that makes them appropriate for dressy wear. Tcfiotus are now procurable in a soft, rustlelesa equality. The chiffous approach the silks in wearing quality, bemg much heavier than their predecessors. Canvas is assuming great importance in the realm of spring frocks and coats; it is used as Joth, with strappings, etitchings, etc. Basket-weave cotton cheviots, madras and mercerized cottons offer modish suggestions for the shirtwaist suit, and the smartest shirt waists are made of mercerized fabrics, such as vesting, cheviot, iinen and canvass. Nearly every gown, whether made of a soft woollen or a sheer wash fabric, is characterized by shirring. The reign of lace continues. Soft and flimy Teaeriffs and Mexican laces are the novelties of the season The new braids, which will be used in profusion, are soft and pliable and well suited to forming designs on the gown, and the new buttons, glisten ing with colored stones and enamel, are examples of the highest art of the jeweller.

"I tried all remedies available, but with no success. Fortunately my employer suggested that I try Foley's Honey and Tar. Its effect was almost miraculous, aLd I am now cured of the disease.

Columbia State, Thursday: Jimmie McMeekin, the young man arrested last Saturday night in connection with the matter cf the infant found in Rocky branch, and the subsequent development, was released from jail last night by order of Judge Klugh. Mr. J. W. Thomas, representing McMeekiD, appeared before Judge Klugh just before the Court of General Sessions adjourned for the day and stated that his client had been imprisoned without commitI ment. This matter was investigated and it was found that Mr. Tnoms' statement was correct. Judge said that he considered it a remarkable procedure for any county officer to send a man to jail without a commitment, unless he had been detected redhanded in crime. It was directly against the statute and he did not consider that any officer, even the judge of the Circuit Court ? i .1 ? i. J. A: naa aumoruy ior i?uuli an auuuu. ? -- > - ? Too Great a Bisk.

It is stri.n>e, says an txchauge, how many people in our State are profiting by the workings of the dispensary Jaw. One of the most novel cases comes from a town on the border of the State. The town is situated within a few miles from a city across the line where the sile of 1 quor is made in barrooms. It happens that nearly all the whiskey used in the town is purchased from the barrooms across the line and txpiessed to the purchasers in jugs. The jugs come in various sizes and are all crated. iN jw, the agent or me express company in this town has been collecting the small crates from day to day for several months and reshipping them by freight to the bar keepers in from 500 tj 1,000 lots. He receives three cents each for the crates and the whiskey business of the town during the winter has been so large that the proceeds from the crates have been amply large to pay all the expenses of his wife's shopping and allow plenty of pocket change.

AN ANSWER TO INQUIRIES. Numerous inquiries have recen'.l7 been received at the New York and Philadelphia offices of the "Mercantile and Financial Times" asking lor information as to the methods and business of the Storey Cotton Company, whose general offices are located in the Bourse Building, Philadelphia, as well as to the desirability and value of an investment made with this company. On several occasions in the past there appeared in these columns extended and favorable references to this company from the pen of oar Philadelphia correspondent, and we have caielnlly watched the progress and operations ol the company in order to deI teimine whether his commendation was justified by subsequent develpments Justice to a worthy corporation rtqaires that we should extend the editorial endorsement ol tnis paper to this company at the present time, ana to say that ic has more than falfilled every claim originally advanced in its behalf. It. is only simply truth and justice to say thac ttie management of the company is today entitled to the highest praise and commendation for tho conscientious and straightforward manner in which they have carried out all of their obligations to those who have become identified with the enterprise as investors, and we are fully warranted in making the assertion that no financial or investment institution in the country can show a cleaner, more satisfactory or honorable record i j its liber al treatment of investors and the public at large than the Storey Cotton Cou.pany. We are moch gratified, of course, that the later development of the company's business and its lair and equitable methods have justified the eariy predictions of our Philadelphia correspondent, and it iequally a pleasure to add that the company are today stronger and bttter able to carry out their obligations than at any time in the past We have the utmost confidence in the indcment and discretion of our ? w 0 Philadelphia correspondent, who has been the regular representative of this psper in that citv for more that a quarter of a century past; and as he has oeen thoroughly conversant with the busineds of the Storey Gotten Company lrom its incepton, as well as its plans and methods, its financial stab lity and tho higu character of its management, his unqualified endorsement of the same naturally carries great weight. Tbe record of the Storey Cotton Company is one that can be assailed in no particular whatever; i?s treatment of its clients has al^ajs been eminently fair and just, and it has never made a promise that has not been fulfilled to the letter. We can only emphasize the fact that an investment m^dewith this company possesses every essential element of security and remuneration, and we are confident that those who make such an investments will place their money in enterpri-e where every possible safeguard is thrown around the principal and where large earnings are assured be}ond any reasonable doubt.
