Watches la Card Caaes. ' Among the latest novelties In th ay of card cases is a very dainty little one made of very finely dressed leather. In one corner of the case Is set a tiny ltltlo watch. The ellect of this is very pretty, and, besides this, the combina tion is a very useful one. Ladies are often put to a great deal of trouble in taking out their watches when on tho street. Carrying this little tlme-pince set In their card ease or pocket-book saves tliem all this trouble, and then, too, when making calls they have a little gentle reminder in their hands that they must not overstay their welcome. Watches set in this way in card eases ami pocket-books are much more popular than the bracelet watch attachment. The novelty was imported from Paris, but is now being manufactured very largely iu this country. The cost ot these card cases and tiockot-books ia from seven dollars and fifty ceuui up. N. Y.

It occurred in the early part of 1S77, duriuir the pursuit ot Sitting Hull's band of ronetfiulos. A few triKips of the Second cavalry were hot on the trail of the Indians, snvs t'upt. C. C. KUiott, iu St. Louis Dlnbo-Di.iuix'rat, nud wo hoped to ctiti'h them. We hud been wiuiderinp; about for several wee'is, und did not know exactly where we were. Just ubout dusk one evening tho mnjor iu eominand, whe was riding nt the head of the colnnin, came upon one of the iron posts that marked the ltritish boundary. I never heard n man swear harder in my life, for the trail was hot and he was hope ful of bringing the Indians ton tight. He called the otlleers around him aud held a council of War. Both horses and men were worn out, and it was twenty miles to the nearest water on one side of the line. Cnder the circum stances he decided to take the risk and cauip with his command on ltrit-sh soil. We went about three miles into ltritish Columbia and spent the night there. Next morning, however, we were up early and slipped back to our own side of the frontier very quietly. Fortunatoly no one saw us, and the matter was not brought to the knowl edge of the Canadian government. I have often wondered what would have happened if the Indians had attacked us on ltritish soil, where we had no kind of right to bo, ,i MIDWINTER ! A FRIEND Bpeaks through the Boothbay (Me.)

Large Army of Professionals Kept Busy Fortunes AunuaUy Hpeut In Traveling on the Kallrosds. It is estimated that there are per haps as munvus 1,000 traveling theatri- al companies in the United Mates, ays the Washington Post. This in I u.les ever, thing that can be con lidered strictly professional companies, to say nntliing of the countless amateur organizations. Of th." strictly theatri cal organizations it is safe to presume that the average receipts per night for the 1,000 companies are 8400 each. At seven performances per week for each company the weekly average, as will be seen, would be S'J,8U0. tne average theatrical season is forty weeks. The entire 1.000 companies with an average nightly receipt of 8400 would produce weekly receipts at seven performances per week amounting to Sa,00,000. This multiplied by forty, the number of weeks in a soason, would yield gross receipts amounting to 8113,000,000. From the above estimates some idea can be formed of what the American people spend annually for amusements by companies which are known as strictly professional. Thousands of dollars are also spent with amateur theatrical organizations and lecture bureaus. It would appear from the above state ment that a great deal of money is made by theatrical people. The expenses in cident to earning 8112,000,000 are very large. It is reasonable to say that one -third, or 839,000,000, of the total 8112,000,000, is spent with railroads. Another very large item is expended for printing. Great fortunes have Been amassed by printing houses in the production of theatrical printing alone. Hundreds of thousands ef dollars are also spent for advertising in news papers. It is safe to say that 40 per cent, of the correspondence between theatrical managers is carried on by telegraph, which amounts to a great deal in a year s tune. The traveling companies, however, are not the sole possessors of the grand total, 8112,000,000. This is di vided between the traveling companies and the owners of the houses where the companies play. The net receipts de rived by the companies would perhaps be in the neighborhood of 05 per cent, or 70 per cent., making an average net re sult of between 875,000,000 and $80,000, 000. Out of this, of course, comes allot the expenditure for railroad transpor tation, and over one-half of the total amount paid for newspaper advertis ing. Out of this also is paid fully 95 per cent, of the amount paid to print ing houses. The 1,000 traveling companies will average fifteen people to a company, making a total of 15,000 theatrical peo- ole traveling over the country lorty weeks out of the fifty-two. This, of course, does not include the number of people employed at theaters. Upon the estimate made as to the number of companies there must of necessity be the same or more number of theaters, as two companies cannot piny at the same theater on the same night. There are at least on an average fifteen peo ple employed at every theater, which would be 15,000. This added to the number of people traveling would make a total of 30,000 people. It is said that there 3,000 actors and act resses now out of employment. There are at least engaged in the theatrical business directly or indirectly those who make a living from it flO.OOO. Some actors make a great deal of money; some do not. Those who make the most are generally those who say the least about it. Those who make the least on annual tours are as a class those who do the most talking about hnuinrr rlnne the createst business. A great many managers and stars hold to the old-fashioned idea that they must always talk about the enonnons business they are doing, the people they are turning away from their houses, and how many times a week the "Standing lloora Only" sign is out. They do this for the express purpose of attempting to deceive the public. The best evidence that a traveling theatri cal attraction is a good one is the fact that large audiences attend it. A Horse I.Ives In tlie White House. A horse has a home in the white house, says a Washington correspond ent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. This is a literal fact which visitors never discover and which few Washing ton neoole know. Tlie horse which shares the executive mansion with the president isn't a thoroughbred. He has neither pedigree nor record. He is just a plain, everyday horse, with a w i to stur in his loreiieaci, a iuiui- ful companion to Edgar R. Beckley. And who k Edgar R. IJeckley? The man who for twenty-live years has car ried to and from tlie white house all of the interesting and valuable mail re ceived and sent, and who has never been found remiss in his duty. Rain or shine, in all seasons, he makes hour ly trins between the white house and the city post ofllce. He is the white house mail carrier. And the horse that has his home in the white house car ries Ueekley. The part of the mansion set apart for the horse is one corner of tlie conservatory.

Adopted the Amendment. A member of the house of commons had been paying attention to a young lady for a long whiie, and had taken her to attend the house until she was perfectly posted iu its rules. On the last day of the session, as they came out, he bought her a bouquet, saying: "May I offer you my handful of flow ers?" She promptly replied: "I move to amend by omitting all after the word 'hand.' " He blushingly accepted the amendment, and they adopted it unanimously. 001 o:8iit3.eI Hbm Xoqx poiqSts-j8a s aojputis aqi ,o qotw pus 'o.in jo 6J.i.C uji iuiaq isoiuiio.i" 9tr 'udjptitio ejt(t jo sjuoad eqt ear Xoqx 'snf " avi o.wl qt put' 'ooj 'eoiD-oid saa. 8j!. sih ,IU! piojf qijM Bossi8.iis sjo. oq 'H'i (unv n( Usui po(jjtn 8( weqx intuli4 pamSlR-saoafil V Tne general meronandise establish niAnl fnrmerlv owned hv Coffin t McFar- , hg8 gte,v chane(J haildg.

Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings eome on my legs, which broke and became running sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and It was feared that the hones would be affected. At last, my good old mother urged me to try Ayer'i Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only the scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer's SareapartUa has done me. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am In the best of health. I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sarsaparilla advertised in all parts of the United States, and always take pleas ure In telling what good It did for me."

It is no untried noBtrum, of duubtlul reputation, but a genuine speclho for a very prevalent disease. Thousands of men, of all aiies, have at some time In life brought ou nervuus debility and exhaustion, with ora-anlo weakness, by over brain work, excesses, too tre quent Indulgence or IndlBcretlon and vicious habits, and It Is to these that we otter a remedy that will, by Its direct action upon the Beat of the disease, stop tlie drain and restore the patient to vigorous health and strength. Onrmeihodof Introducing Prof. Harris' Pastille treatment Is one which oommends Itself to all senaible persons for the reason that we supply It upon their Judgment of Its value. We ask of our patrons nothing in the way of expense beyond a poatnl card and a two cent postage stamp.

The treatment In no way roterieres wim a person's attention to business, and causes no pain or inconvenlenoe In any way. We are bo positive that Itwill give perfect satis faction that we leave the matter of sending orders entirely with those using the free trial treatment. Having satisfied those sending for trial pnckugeB of our ability to benefit their Bexual condition we feel that they are more largely interested than ourselves In continuing the UBe of the Pastilles. Even then we do not attempt to rob them by de manding high prices. On the oontrary, we make the prices afl low as possible, and the same to all. They are aB follows: 13 for one month; 6Ior two months; 17 for three months. These prices secure the delivery of the Pastilles by mall. If desired by express we leave the patient to pay the ohargea.
