Mountain Mahogany.
A bundle of mountain mahogany
Btick8 lying in front of the express office
reminds us forcibly of old times down in
Nevada. In the eastern part of the
state this is about all that can be pro
cured in many localities for fire-wood
It is as hard aa flint and holds fire like a
government appropriation. Out at
White Pine we were engaged at one time
in baling hay. The corral was made of
mahogany logs, and for lack of eome-
fthing better it was used to do our cook
ing with. One nieht Black Jack, the
-cook of the outfit, was lying asleep in
;his bunk, his foot sticking ont from be
tween the covers, and his big toe lying
-temptingly an inch away from Its neigh
bor. Charley Daly, who had been im
bibing bug juice at a neighbor's to an
"unlimited extent, came in and saw
Jack's toes. At the same time his
drunken gaze fastened on a glowing ma
bogany coal. In a minute he had
scooped up a hand full of ashes, placed
the live coal on top, and in lees time
than it takes to relate it, had dropped
the coal between Jack's gaping toes. In
just about half a second Charley was
going ont the cabin door, pursued by
two pistol balls, one of which lodged in
the door casing, and the other cut the
sleeve of his coat. There was no bay
baled nnext day, it taking the whole of
it to patch np a treacherous peace.

Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., Says:. "Dr. King'
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New

never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
- en motion. Coughs, and Colds. . I cannot
eay enough for its merits." Dr. King'i
New Discovery for Consumption

It has been tried for a quarter of a cen

HIS CREDITORS FOUND HIM.
Mr. Jones Had Been enable to See Them
Dnrinff a. Loss Search.
George Washing-ton Jones, a colored
gentleman, was aad, very sad. He was
a calcLminer when he had work to do,
says Harper's Round Table, but, '.-.3 he
expresses it:
'Dem, dere white trash hab i'ene- into
de trade, an' now Ise got no work to
do. But this was not what made him
sad. "Dis yere life," he said, "am not
wuthlivin'."
'What's the matter, George?" in
quired his friend.
'Why, Ise got a little money on dat
last job, and Ise went round to settle
de bills Ise owed."
'Didn't you attend to it all right?"
'Dar's de strange part of it. ' De
butcher he wuz out, an de grocer he
wuz out, tin' every one Ise wanitec'i to
pay wuz out, an" den wihat'd I do but
lose dat money."
'W ell, that was unlucky, end no mis
take; but still you showed your tood
intentions, and no doubt they won t
pres3 their claims."
"Press dere claims! Yah, dat s de
trouble. When Ise got 'omc found
ebery one of dem waitLn to press deTe
claims, an' as Ise couldn't fix dem, dey
done an' fixed me."
LIQUOR FROM GAS BURNERS.
Device of a Portland. He., Hotel for
Evading: the Prohibition Lav,
Everybody who visits Maine has a
different story to tell on his return of
his experience in getting drinks, says
the New York Sun. The champion
story is, perhaps, told by a well-known
traveling salesman. He says thatwhen
he asked for a drink at a Portland hotel.
lie was shown into a room, which had
nothing in it but table, on wihidh were
a pitcher of water and several tumblers,
nd a few chairs.
Over the table was a chandelier, with
apparently half a dozen gas burners.
When the cocks were turned, however,
not gas, but liquor came out of the
burners, which were horizontal, on the
tips being unscrewed. From one burner
came whisky; from another, rum ; from
another, gin. Each burners supply pipe
connected with a cask ot some one of
these liquors in. the room above.
The man who tells this story says that
the indictment papers against the hotel
in question for selling liquor would fill
a bushel basket, but none of them will
ever be brought to trial; at least, none
has been yet. Since adopting this de
vice, the hotel has evaded detection.
THE BIGGEST CAT.
It Is Thirty Inches Long and Weighs
Twenty-Four Pounds.
Just plain "Tom" is the unpretending
name of probably the greatest domestic
cat in the world.
Edward Simmons, a fish and oyster
dealer of New York, is the proud pos
sessor of "Tom." This giant of cats
ia 30 inches in length, from his head to
the tip of his tail. He is a foot high.
and weighed last spring 24 pounds.
The recent hot weather has caused him
to drop a few pounds of flesh, but has
not impaired his health or happiness..
Thomas is black and white, and is
rather peculiarly marked. He has two
complete rings of white around his tail,
which makes him look like first cousin
to a raccoon.
Mr. Simmons picked up the cat two
years ago while walking along South
street. Thomas was but a stray kitten
then, so that his pedigree has never
been ascertained, and it is not known
whether or not hferedity has had any'
thing to do with his enormous size.
Pasted Nearly Two Tears.
Dr. Tanner's famous fast of 40 days
is thrown into the background as
starvation feat by the performances of
the big anaconda at the Philadelphia
zoological gardens, which was only re
cently tempted to eat a nice fat rabibt
after going hungry for 22 months. It
may hare been even longer, but the
keepers hare no record of the creature's
doings previous to its captivity, and so
can t tell. It is not very unusual for a
snake to" abstain from food for several
months, at the end of which time death
generally results; but the anaconda
case is distinctly different from any
other. Its fast lasted more than twice
as long as any in the history' of the
zoo, and during the whole of its con
tinuance there was no evidence of ill
health. The spell now seems to be en
tirely broken, and the anaconda call 3
regularly for its meals.

Electric Bitter.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative ia felt. - A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi

and freeing the system from the malar
