Two Kinds of Heroism.
No one Is irretrievably lost in whom
the sense of honor survives. A Paris
paper recounts the case of a woman
who had been arrested, convicted of
some offense, and sentenced to impris
onment A detective was taking her to
the prefecture fromBoulogne-sur-Seine,
by steamer, when at the Concorde
bridge a well-dressed man threw him
self into the river and was drowning
before their eyes.
The officer was a brave, man and an
excellent swimmer; it cost him a strug
gle to see a life lost which he might
save, If he were free to act
"If I were alone," he exclaimed, "I
would save that man."
"Save him," said the woman. "I will
wait for you at the pier."
The officer hesitated for an instant
and then plunged Into the water. He
had barely seized the drowning man
when a boat struck him violently, and
he lost his grip. He dived again, but
vainly, and at last quite exhausted,
was pulled into a small boat which
Itself narrowly escaped collision with a
steamer.
The heroic officer was cheered by the
crowd who had witnessed his bravery,
and the body of the man he had striven
to save was recovered, later. But his
was not the only honorable conduct
shown, for on the pier the woman, true
to her word, was waiting for the detec
tive, and handed him his coat in the
pocket of which was the warrant upon
which she had been arrested.
One Is glad to learn that her honor
able conduct will not go unappreciated.
When It was reported to the chief of
the department he immediately ordered
the prisoner to be released In recogni
tion of her humanity and honor.
Boiler Scale.
A very novel method of getting rid of
scale in a boiler is credited by a Boston
paper to an engineer in that city. The
scale came from the use of well water.
The feed pipe enters the front of the
boiler just about the water line, and has
slots cut in it about an eighth of an
inch wide, instead of the ordinary spray
ing method of distributing the water,
and surrounding the feed pipes is a
larger pipe, about 6 inches in diameter
and cut away at the top; the feed water
enters the boiler and discharges through
the slots in the feed pipe, depositing all
the foreign matter in the water into
this catch pipe instead of into the boiler
the success of the plan depending
upon having a high temperature of feed
at about the boiling point, when the
solids held in suspension or solution in
water will be deposited.
A paragraph which will appeal
with much force to all men who
go to the theaters is one in
a recent numbar of Life, In
which that Journal remarks that it ob
serves with consternation that the
large hats are coming in again In the
theaters. Life closes with these bitter
remarks: "It is not too much to say
that the height of the hat which a wo
man wears on her head In the theater
Is In inverse proportion to her breeding,
and, as a rule, to her respectability.
The women who wear the biggest and
, most offensive hats, and refuse to take
them off, are commonly dames who,
from disastrous personal experiences,
have become hardened In Indifference
to public opinion."
' DBIVI5 FROM THE CITADEL.
The warmth of spring and summer may
do much to relax the musoular system and
make many feel much more comfortable,
bat there is this about the old enemy
rheumatism, that when he once takes
hold, he tries to hold the citadel at all eea
sons of the year. Bat whether this aroh
enemy larks in the muscles, joints, bones
or the nerves, he is such an enemy to
human happiness that he must be driven
out of any stronghold. It was planned
long ago to do thiB, and St. Jacobs Oil as a
knight in battle has soored wonderful vic
tories. At alt times he is ready to 'over
come and conquer this fiend of pain, and
does it as sorely and certainly as knights
ot old extirpated the Baraoen. So no one
should be deceived by the mild weather of
spring to trifle with it either in chronioor
transient form Use the great remedy for
pain and get rid of it at once and for ail.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
'ess expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the wo. Id's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
' met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

PEAK BELL RINGERS.
They Entertained the Fnbllc Many
Tears Ago.
Not many people are aware that In
the house at 354 South First street is
living a bright entertaining old man,
who for forty years won popularity and
fame among music-loving people In
the United States and Canada as the
head of the Peak family of Swiss bell
ringers, says the Brooklyn Eagle. His
eighty-eight years weigh lightly upon
his shoulders, for In general health and
activity he is the peer of many a man
nearly two-score years his junior, and
his touch on the keys of the piano and
organ is delightfully graceful and true.
Indeed, It may be said that William
M. Peak Is thoroughly enjoying bis
ripe old age in that happy musical at
mosphere which always buoyed him
up through life, and which still seems
to fill all his recollections of the past
and thoughts of the present with the
spirit of melody.
"I must tell you," resumed Mr. Peak,
"how I came to organize my family
Into a troupe of Swiss bell-ringers. It
was in the early fifties, and all' my
children were able to perform well on
the harp and other musical instru
ments, while my wife had gained fame
everywhere with her soprano voice.
Yon see we were a thoroughly musical
family, some of my children having
appeared In public when they "were
only 3 or 4 years old. Well, Barnum
had just brought out some bell-ringers
from Switzerland, and I saw and
heard them at his American museum
in New York. From that moment I
was enthusiastic over Swiss bell-ringing,
and, importing my own bells from
Switzerland, I organized the family
troupe, which gained almost Instanta
neous popularity and distinction.
"We had other musical features, of
course, but the bells were our chief
features. Sometimes we had fifteen
or seventeen persons in the troupe. My
family consisted of seven namely, my
wife, myself, and my five children, Will
lam, Edward, Julia, Fanny, and Lizette.
My wife and Lizette are dead. Will
lam is In the West In company with
his brother Edward. Julia is In Boston
and Fanny is In Milwaukee. All my
living children are still professional
and successful musicians. My own
work is done, except that I still play
a little for my own entertainment,
and once In a while for old friends.
We often played In Brooklyn twenty
years ago and more, both at this end
of the town and down by the city hall,
and at the Atheneum on Atlantic ave
nue. One of the places we played In
here Is now the Novelty Theater, but
In the old days it was a public hall,
known first as the Odeon and after
ward as the Apollo rooms. When I
came here over ten years ago I be
came greatly attached to the Rev. Dr.
Almon Gunnison, then the pastor of
All Souls' Universalist Church, and
I am a member of that church to-day.
I am glad to let my friends know that
I am not broken down or feeble."
YOU MUST SAY "FIERCE."
Latest Slant?, and It Applies to Every
thine and Everybody.
It Is now about time for the outly
ing region of the English language,
known as slang, to recognize a new
comer within its vagrant boundaries.
The recruit In the glories and ex
pressive ranks of slang Is the word
"fierce." The word in its extended
field of usefulness Is young, but it has
gained a firm hold In New York and
Brooklyn.
In order to be up to the times, we
must no longer talk of a heavy rain.
but of a fierce rain. A blizzard Is a
fierce snowstorm. A keen wind Is a
fierce one, and so Is a boisterous. When
a man has a pronounced attack of
drunkenness, it Is a fierce jag. A win
ner of poker has played a fierce game.
A desperate misfortune is fierce. A
great stroke of good luck is fierce. The
enforcement of the excise law Is fierce.
It Is fierce to be married, twins In the
family are fierce, and Its Is fierce to
die, whether naturally or by accident
A President's proclamation or mes
sage Is fierce. Anything that Is ex
travagant Is fierce. Anything that is
exceedingly mild Is fierce. An extra
liberal crop of cotton or of corn Is fierce,
and so (such is the elasticity of the
world) Is an extra poor one. To have
a toothache Is fierce; and to receive an
unexpected legacy Is fierce. Hard
times are fierce. So are . prosperous
times. We mnst no longer say of a
misfortune or of an unexpected an
nouncement: "It broke me all up,
but "It was fierce."
That the ferocity of all human
events, grave or gay, lively or severe,
should at least be recognized, Is a
tribute to the growing, or should we
say fierce, intelligence of the English
speaking portion of the fierce popula
tlon of this fierce world.
Possibilities of the Ray.
It has long been known that sunlight
is a potent destroyer of noxious germs,
and the general belief Is that It is the
actinic rays that chiefly have such ac
tion. Now, If the X raya are merely
the invisible ultra-violet rays of the
spectrum, they are probably the most
actinic of all. Indeed, that Is indi
cated by their effect upon photographic
plates. That they may prove to be
powerful germicide agents, and it may
be needful only to pass them through
the human body to destroy all the nox
ious bacteria In the most remote and in
accessible tissues. Of course, that is
mere speculation. But in these days it
is rash to say anything is Impossible.

UNCLE SAM'S BONDS.
HOW THE VALUABLE PIECES OF PA
PER ARE MADE.
The New Issue. Will Be a Duplicate of the
Issue of Lot Tear A Real Artist as De
signer Various Stops la the Processes
of Turning: Them Oat.
The way in which United States
bonds are designed, engraved and made
ready to be turned over to the investor
in return for bis gold com or its equiva
lent is one of the most interesting parts
of the workings of the treasury depart
ment branch of the national government.
The coming bond issue will not be what
is technically known as a new issue,
but will be a duplication of the issue of
February, 1895.
The designer of the plates is a well
known New York artist who enjoys high
reputation as a magazine and book illus
trator. This is Mr. Will H. Low, and
for the past year he has been the star
man of the corps of artists attached to
the treasury department. In addition to
the work of drafting the design for the
bonds he has designed several schemes
for currency.
After the announcement of a bond is
sue the secretary calls in the chief of the
department of engraving and printing
and tells him the denominations to be
issued. These may be in coupon bonds
of $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. The
same denominations may be issued in
registered bonds, with the addition of
others of a higher face value. The ad
ditional ones are for $5,000, $10,000,
$20,000 and $50,000. The issues of the
two latter denominations have been very
small.
After the chief has received his in
structions he turns the matter over to
the artist, who at once designs the plate.
It is an erroneous impression that for
every issrJe a new series of plates is en
graved. The artist may use any one of
a number of vignette likenesses of his
toric Americans, and he mortises it into
the drawing.
When completed, it is submitted to
the chief for bis approval and then to
the secretary of the treasury. If the de
sign is all right, it is turned over to the
engravers.
This usually requires from a month to
six weeks. The engraving is done on a
thin sheet of soft steel of a thickness of
an eighth of an inoh. By a secret process
the metal is hardened when finished.
and a proof is taken, which is submit
ted to the chief of the bureau. This
proof then must be approved.
The plate then goes to the printer and
the work of turning off the bonds be
gins. The bonds are printed on the same
kind of paper as that uBed for currency
and each impression is carefully watch
ed. If any imperfection renders a copy
worthless, it is destroyed by the officials,
after being returned from the press
rooms. But for each sheet of bond paper
taken out there must be returned a simi
lar number of copies, either perfect or
otherwise. After the work of printing
is done the securities are counted and
checked off and are then made ready for
delivery to the purchaser. When their
final destination is determined upon, an
employee of the department, accompa
nied by an escort, takes charge of the
bonds and delivers them to the pur
chasers. In the last issae Mr. Logan
Carlisle, son of the secretary, had charge
of the deliverance of the securities.
The difference between the two classes
of bonds conpon and registered is
great. The former are like currency,
payable to the bearer, and no record of
their transfer is ever made. The interest
coupons may be collected by any one
who presents them at a national bank
or subtreaaury.
The registered bonds are safer in case
of a burglary, as they are absolutely
nonnegotiable except by the signature
of the holder as evidenced by the books
of the treasury department at Washing
ton. When registered bonds are sold, the
name of the purchaser is placed in a
book kept for the purpose. There are no
interest coupons attached, but each quar
ter a check is mailed from Washington
for the accumulated interest, which is
payable at any subtreasury.
Should the holder desire to sell his
registered bonds, the transfer must take
place before some official of the treasury
department or an officer of a national
bank. The fact of the sale is then for
warded to Washington and the necessary
alterations made in the registered bond
book.
Although the face design of a govern
ment bond is less intricate and puzzling
than the designs used on currency, ef
forts to counterfeit them have been rare.
The noted forger, Brockway, was the
author of the last bogus government
bond, issue that was detected. It was a
duplication of a coupon bond of the is
sue of 1861, the first of the war loans,
which matured in 1881. The denomina
tion was $1,000. The work was poorly
executed, and its worthlessness was soon
detected. It was for thiB that Brockway
served his longest term in the peniten
tiary. New York World.

VISION OF DISARMAMENT,
The Century From Afar Off Beholds the
Millennium.
The Century Magazine, in a forth
coming editorial article entitled "The
Anachronism of War," will say of the
present situation that reliance must be
Lad upon the two great lawmaking and
law loving peoples of the world to pluck
the flower safely out of this nettle dan
ger. It says:
"The immediate duty before the con
servative forces of England and America
is to organize for the establishment of
a high class continuous board of inter
national arbitration. In this matter the
lead may well be taken by the repre
sentatives of that religion which is 'first
pnre, then peaceable. With the aid of
the great educational institutions and of
the vast commercial interests of the two
lands, and in the present revived atten
tion to the subject, itr ought to be an
easy matter to get parliament's consent
to the opinion already formally express
ed by the congress of the United States
in favor of the principle of arbitration.
What is needed is a permanent system,
in place of the piecemeal and haphazard
examples to which we are accustomed,
admirable as their results have already
proved. Once established between Eng
land and America, such a system would
gradually spread among the nations of
Europe, and more rapidly because of
the general conviction that another con
tinental war should show a climax of
horrors. Sooner or later arbitration
would be followed by disarmament,
which is the logical sequence of no
other premise, and yet will be the turn
ing point of the continent toward true
democracy and progress.
"However near or far , the ultimate
acceptance of the idea, it would, as be
tween us and our English cousins, take
the sting out of the viper of war, to which,
like the husbandman in the fable, nations
too carelessly give warmth and nourish
ment on the hearthstone. In the knowl
edge that disputes would be automat
ically settled by an impartial tribunal
it would no longer be possible to play a
boisterous tune upon a people by pulling
out the b ton of 'patriotism. And it is
not too much to hope that in the spread
of this idea the whole earth1 would at
least realize the great laureate's noble
vision of, 'The parliament of man, the
federation of the world. ' Herein lies
a great opportunity for the English
speaking race. It is a mission to kindle
the imagination and the heart.
IS INGERSOLL CONVERTED?
Kalamasoo Christians Believe That He Is
Turning:.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, in his
lecture on "Lincoln" at Kalamazoo,
Mich., the other night, stopped right in
the middle of his discourse and told his
audience that be desired to relate some
incidents of the afternoon. Then he
spoke of his visit to the People's church
and said :
"It is the grandest thing in your
state, if not in the whole United States.
If there weie a similar church near my
home, I would join it if its members
would permit me. "
Nothing in the lecture caused such a
stir as this, and when some of Colonel
Ingersoll 's friends escorted him to the
hotel they asked him if he was in ear
nest about the statement, and he is said
to have replied that he was very much
in earnest, and if opportunity ever was
given him of joining such a church he
would seize it quickly.
It now seems that when the colonel
arrived in Kalamazoo he was taken to
visit the People's church, of which
Hiss Caroline J. Bartlett is the pastor.
This church was built through the lib
erality of Silas Hubbard, who be
queathed it a large sum of money.
It is institutional in its plan and is
built more like a home than an ordinary
church. It has reception rooms for so
cial gatherings, libraries, rooms for
study, a dining room and a kitchen. It
is undenominational and has no creed
whatever. Colonel Ingersoll was con
ducted through the various departments
and was more than pleased while at the
church, but nobody supposed that he
would mention it in his lecture.
The members of the church are en
thusiastio and say they believe that
through the People's church of Kalama
zoo the great agnostic will be led to
joining the church. They see in his words
an answer to the thousands of prayers
sent up by the Christian Endeavorers
all over the country. They say that
while no organized effort has been made
to get Colonel Ingersoll to. join the
church such effort will be made in the
near future. They profess to believe that
the great disciple of agnosticism will
deliver no more agnoetio lectures.

CONSUMPTION CUKED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL
PULMONARY COMPLAINTS.
T. A. S locum offers to Send Two Bot
tles Free of Bis Remedy to Cure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles
An Kllxlr of Life.
Nnt.hinc conld be fairer, more Dhilan
thropio or carry more joy in its waie than
the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. O., of 188
Pear, street, New York. Perfectly confi
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure of consumption ana all pulmon
ary complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles tree to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con
sumption, also loss of iiesn and all condi
tions of wasting. He invites those desir
ous of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and postoffice address, and to re
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach of death. Al
ready this remedy, by its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands of cases
which were given up, and death was looked
upon as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be
ing so proof-positive of its beneficent re
sults, Dr. Slocum considers it his religious
duty, a duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its cidatel, and,
by its inherent potency, stay the ourrent
of dissolution, bringing joy to homes over
which the shadow ot the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy offered freely apart
from its inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more so is the perfect
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says : "Be
cured."
Te invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration of the afflicted, who for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious dimes, where the atmos
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs',
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles the mistake will
be in passing the invitation by.

They Are Professional Guests.
Some gentlemen of family who are
clever at story, jest and repartee are fol
lowing a strange business in London.
There is a man there who furnishes
amusement and entertainment fox all
kinds of social gatherings, having men
of family on his staff, who in the guise
of guests manage to insure an enjoyable
evening for the invited guests, and thus
set the anxiety of the hostess, fearing a
dnll time for her guests, at rest A cou
ple of guineas will engage'the services
of a person of ' 'good social attainments, ' '
who will so exercise his art of enter
taining others as to put everybody at
once into the brightest of spirits. Five
guineas will command the services of
an individual of "higher standing in the
social scale," while the proportionately
large outlay of $50 will secure those of
a gentleman with a handle to his name.
Mr. Gladstone and British Guiana.
Mr. Gladstone has a personal connec
tion with British Guiana, as his family
fortune was made there. His father
owned a great sugar estate at Vreeden
Hoop, in Demerara, and was a large
owner. One of the Grand Old Man's
first speeches in parliament was a de
fense of West Indian slavery, made just
before the passage of the act abolishing
slavery in 18S3. He was undersecre
tary for the colonies when Schomburgk
was laying out his line.

Mothers
Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters. So many are cut off
by consumption in early years that
there is real cause for anxiety. In
the early 6tages, when not beyond
the reach of medicine, Hood's Sarsa
parilla will restore the quality and
quantity of the blood and thus give
good health. Head the following letter:
"It la but Just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com
pletely run down, declining, had that tired
feeling, and friends said she would not

and nothing seemed to do her any good.
I happened to read about Hood's Sarsapa
rilla and had Jier give it a trial. From tho
very first dose she began to get better.
After taking a few bottles she was com
pletely cured and her health has been the
best ever since." Mas. Addtjb Peck,
12 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. Y.
"I will say that my mother has not
stated my case in as strong words as I
would have done. Hood's Sarsaparilla
has truly cured me and I am now well."
