Any one who has known what It Is to wait day after day in some out of the world ,nook for letters which were u me ume sazely reposing in some ne glected corner of a sleenv nostofflce can appreciate the story that Is told of "ra woiseley by Mr. Nourse, who w wiin ner Majesty's forces through tue oouaan campaign. At Kortl Nourse went Into the post office to look for some letters. The post master was a native and not mimh used to handwriting. He made a super- examination or a Dig pile of let ters and Darjera. and nnlri thnv wm nothing for the applicant Nourse asked 10 see me pne of letters, and while he was looklne them over n man with nothing to designate hjs rank came uiu tne omce. He took In the situation at a glance. - "Let's clear this rhinir nnt " ho M They Jumned on the counter and nrrv ceeaea to "clear it out" hv frat hnn aung out the postmaster. Then they oegan a careful examination of the postofflce, and found It eonmwted with mall for the army. Xhey searched ev ery uook and cranny, throwing the let ters for each reeiment into a. rlifPoront pile and heaping up all the newspapers iu tue center or tlie room. Then they went throueh each niln and apnnrntoil It Into companies. Before night every tetter was in camp and distributed, and me next day the Danprs wer nut. Nourse did not know the name of his companion in the benevolent deed, and when he asked the answer was, "They call me Charlie." Some time after Nourse found It nec essary to see the commRndnnt onH sitting near the tent to which he had been directed, he saw his companion of me poetomce. "Hello, Charlie!" he said. "T'm lnnir. Ing for the commandant Where shall I find him?" "Well" said Charlie, "you won't have to ook rar. I'm the commandant Come Inside and have a bite to eat and annic." It was Lord Woiseley. Youth's Com p anion. Germany has $300,000,000 Invested in eiectncal works. Philadelphia makes 90 per cent of our ingrain carpet A cat about half-grown can devour twenty mice a day, or 7,300 a year. An owl was shot 400 miles out to sea by the captain of the British steam- snip juthelreda. No other case is on record of a land bird having flown so tar rrom snore. ' Since the national park at TosemltP Cat, has been established and hunters are forbidden to shoot game, the bears have become so tame that they run aiong tne roads In front of the stages, and come quite close to the valley ho tels. Fighting a well established newspa per is a costly undertaking. Typo graphical union No. 6 has uncondition ally declared off a strike against the New York Sun which was begun sev enteen months ago and lias cost the printers 125,000. In an effort to drive the'English spar rows off the telegraph and telephone wires in Cincinnati a current of Hjec trlclty strong enough to kill a man was turned upon the wires, but the birds did not move and seemed not to be injured in the least Only two. of the thirteen bills intro duced Into the Kansas Legislature at the request of organized labor have be come laws one, providing for the es tablishment of free employment' agen cies throughout the State, and the other requiring seats for women employed in factories and stores. No less than 140,000 homes are held free of debt by southern negroes. These have been estimated at an ag gregate value of $140,000,000. The hold ings of personalty by the race are prob ably worth more than the realty. Il literacy has decreased among them nearly 50 per cent in twenty years. The New York State factory inspector says In his report to the legislature that there has been vast improvement in tenement and dwelling house work shops, but that much remains to be done. He pointedly refers to the fact that "men who hold their heads high in the business world and presumably some also in the religious world indi rectly traffic in the very lifeblood of their fellow men." ' The United States labor commission er sets forth 'some very interesting facts. Aided by machinery, he says, 4,500,000 men turn out a product which would require the labor of 40,000,000 men if produced by hand. In America the advantage derived from machinery is about twice as great as In Europe, so that the actual production of the United States is equal In productive power to 150,000,000 Europeans. With labor-saving machinery one generation of men can do the work of four or five generations of hand workers. A Little Sermon on Habit. This is what a minister has to say about habit etymologlcally: . "Habit" is hard to remove. If you take away the first letter, "a bit" Is left If you take off another letter, you still have a "bit" left While If you take off another the whole of "It" re mains. If you remove another It Is not "t" totally used up. All of which goes to show that If yon wish to get rid of a bad habit you must shake it off altogether. The Heaviest Railroad Train. A locomotive of the Pennsylvania Railway recently drew a train about three-quarters of a mile long, made up of 180 loaded coal cars, from Altoona to Harrlsburg, 132 miles, in twelve hours. The weight of the train behind the tender was. 5,212 tons, the locomo tive weighing 104 tons. This is said to have been the heaviest train ever moved a long distance by a single loco motive. .

" ALL MET WITH MISFORTUMC Superstition Relative to the Number Thirteen Singnlarlr Verified. "I would not sit down to dinner in a party of thirteen," said a broker who Is credited with plenty of "horse sense," "for the simple reason that I don't In tend to give coincidence a chance to play Into the hands of superstition. Moreover, I have had one very d!sa greeable experience along that line. In the early spring of 1896 I was one of a bachelor party gotten up to give the usual send-off to a friend about to com mlt matrimony. There were fifteen of us in the crowd, but at the last moment two were called away. That reduced us to the fatal number, which nobody noticed until we were seated at the table, wherf a desperate effort was made to scare up another guest, but no one could be found. So we laughed the matter off and went on with the fun, but there was a palpable undercurrent of depression and several of the boys acquired lachrymose Jags which, next to the English cemlc newspapers, are saddest things in the world. "If yen are not familiar with the terms I will explain that a lachrymose Jag Is the stage of Inebriety at which a man tells you the story of his life and weeps on your shoulders at Intervals of six months in the narrative. However, to get to the point, two ef the fellows present died in 1896, and the way the circumstance demoralized nearly all the ethers was simply amazing. In several ef them it effected a total change la 'dis position. The death of distant rela tives, petty misadventures In business, occasional attacks of sickness and a hundred and .one other incidents of everyday life were all charged up to the blight of thirteen, and finally, about a year and a half later, I became so tired of hearing that sort of stories that I took the pains to collect statistics on another stag party given within a few weeks of ours. An even dozen had been present and the net result was: Two deaths, three business failures, one lost a leg and one lost an eye In ac cidents, one embezzler skipped out, one divorce and two men gone to the doss through drinkv - This was not a party of hoboes, either, but average chaps about town, and their catalogue of disaster put an end to further croaking over our thirteen supper. AH the same, I don't yearn for a repetition of the experience. Life's toe short for all worry not strict ly necessary.!'i-New Orleans Times Democrat. --44 , - Stamp Novelty.

But the Diagnosis Was Wrong "When tne Blood Was Knrlchend the Symptoms Disappeared From.Presbyterian Journal, Phila , Pa. After years of patient and intense suffering, Miss Gertrude Gilbert, of 3201 Dauphin street, Philadelphia, Pa., has recovered her lost health, and is today a rosy and blooming specimen of young womanhood. To a reporter she gave the following ac count of her casef "I had been sick for a lona time, when a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Previous to this three doctors had treated me. They diagnosed my trouble as heart disease, together with con sumption, and prescribed accordingly. All this medical treatment did not benefit me in the least. I was in a terrible condition. There was scarce ly any blood left in my body. My chief trouble was weakness, and after laborious efforts to get up stairs I almost went into a faint and on sev eral occasions thought I was going to die. ' "So little blood had I that my ears were almost transparent, and my complexion was as white as a sheet. I can scarcely describe my senations, but after repeated treatment by . my physicians I became thoroughly dis couraged. - "It was at this time that Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills were recommended to me, and I procurred a bx. Before I had finished it 1 began to feel the benefit to my health. This gave me encouragement, and I began a sys tematic course according to directions. At the end of the seventh or eighth box, in addition to having a sufficient quantity and a better quality of blood in my veins I was relieved of that shortness of breath and quick heart action which had been my chief trou ble. My appetite returned, and I was enabled to do my daily duties with a cheerfulness which I had never before experienced. I always, as a prevent ive, keep a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in my room. They are all they are represented to be, and to them, and to them alone, do I owe my res toration to health. " ' ' - . Signed. GERTKUDE GILBERT. At all druggists or direct from.

Africa. The great loss of life suffered is at tacking Boer Intrench ments In South Africa has inspired Walter Severn, an English artist, to invent and patent a form of movable breastworks, by the use of which he thinks fortified kopjes might be captured without much dan ger to the attacking party. The breast works consist of steel plates, mounted on bicycles at such an angle that bul lets striking tbem will be deflected up ward. The Inventor bas the word. of Maxfm. the great gonmaker, that the BTJIXrTVPBOOr BTCVCZ.K SHtaXD. steel plates need not weigh more than five or six pounds tk the square foot, so that the weight on each bicycle will not be more than that of an ordinary man. It is intended that the movable shields shall be pushed ahead of the attacking column by a number of strong men, detailed for the purpose. They may also be used to protect the wounded, to form squares, and to pro tect men who are cutting wires. They can be removed from the wheels and transported by wagon, and, when prop erly arranged about the sides, they would transform a transport wagon Into an armored car.- Traveling In Colonial Days. After the period of walking and canoeing had Its day In colonial times, nearly all land travel, for a century, was on horseback, just as It was in England at that date. In 1672, there were only six stage coaches in the whole of Great Britain, and a man wrote a pamphlet protesting that they encouraged too much travel. Boston then had one private coach. Women and children usually rode seated on a pillion behind a man. One way of prog ress which would help four persons ride part of their Journey was what was called the "ride-and-tie" system. Two of the four persons who were traveling started on their route on foot; two, mounted on the saddle and pillion, rode about a mile, dismounted, tied the horse, and walked on. When the two who had started on foot reached the waiting horse they mounted, rode on past the other couple for a mile, dis- mornted, tied and walked on; and so tn.

England' Army and Navy. I It was recently stated that England's army and navy is inadequate to properly defend herself from a sudden onslaught.

To strengthen the stomach there is nothing better than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, it cures dyspepsia, constipation, indiges tion, liver and kidney trouble, and as a tonic is incomparable.
