AN ENEMY BAFFLED.
There ii an enemy with whom thousands are
familiar all their lives, because they are bora
with tendency to biliousness. With tbl enemy
they are constantly battling with ineffectual
weapons. Hostetter's St math Bitters will baf
fle it. Mere purgatives will not reform a disor
dered condition of th liver indicated, not by
constipation alone, bnt also by sick headaches,
yellow uees of the skin and eyeballs, nausea,
furre tongue and uneasiness, more particularly
upon pressure on the right side, upon and below
the short ribs. Avoid drastic purgatives which
gripe aud weaken the intestine, and substitute
this world-famous ant -bilious cordial, which
likewise removes malarial .stomachic and kidney
complaints, rheumatism and nervousness. As a
laxative of the bowels, painless but effectual, it
improves appetite, sleep and the ability to digett,
and rosaenaea the additional advautage of a
standard tonic.

' Swallows at Sea.
Two day after leaving I tort Said,
Egypt, we had some very unsettled
weather. Looking southward I ob
served what appeared to be a small
black cloud rising and coming steadily
toward our steamer. When I looked
again a few minutes later, instead of
seeing the cloud 1 saw some hundreds
of swallows. They flew around our
steamer several times, as though unde
cided whether to stay until the storm
passed. At last, just before dark, sev
eral of them alighted on the stayrim of
our main funnel, which was soon one
black mass of birds. The rain came
down in torrents, and it was pitiful to
see those frail creatures struggling with
the wind and rayi.
Those of themihat could not find a
roosting place soon commenced to fall
on deck quite helpless. 1 picked op all
those that fell on the bridgedeck and
lodged them in the chartroom. Those
birds that fell on the foredeck were
sheltered in the forecastle by the crew.
The nest day came in bright and clear,
with a light westerly breeze, and all the
swallows took flight just at sunrise, fly
ing in a northwesterly direction. The
captive birds were soon set free, and
they followed in the wake of the others.
I may say that all the birds we had were
able to fly except one, and it died during
the day. Several dead ones were found
on the decks at daylight These birds
had beautiful plumage, and 1 fancy they
looked rather smaller than the swallows
1 have seen in England. The captive
birds had golden brown feathers just
above and below the beak, and white
breast; back, black feathers with a
bluish tinge; wings and tail brown, and
four white spots across. New Castle
Chronicle.
The Coincident Corse of Gold.
The goldseekers of both America and
Australia have a singular but well
grounded superstition that the discover
ers of hidden treasures are sure to meet
with violent deaths. The original pro
prietors of between thirty-five and forty
of the most prosperous gold and silver
mines in this country are known to have
come to . just such ends. : Out of the
forty or less twelve were shot or stabbed
to death in saloon or other broils, five
committed suicide, three Were engulfed
by landslides, five turned murderers or
robbers and were caught and executed
in various ways, one fell into a boiling
spring and had the flesh literally stewed
from his bones, while the others have
disappeared and no one knows what ever
became of them.
George H. Fryer, once the millionaire
proprietor of the Fryer Hill mine, com
mitted suicide in Denver after spending
the last nickel between himself and star
vation. The discoverer of the great Stan
dard mine, in California, was caught and
swallowed up in an avalanche; Colonel
Story was killed by Indians; William
Fairweather, of the famous Alder
Gulch mine, died with the "frenzied
horrors" after a continuous two years
debauch.. "Farrell of Meadow Lake"
died with a terrible disease in a San
Francisco hospital. The owner of that
great mine, the Homestake, became a
highwayman and was shot while robbing
a stage coach. John Homer tried the
same route that Fryer went "Dough
nut Bill," "Ninemile Clarke," "Old Eu
reka" and many others were killed in
saloons. St. Louis Republic.
finest Carpets in tha World.
I mean to make a pilgrimage to Fon
tainblean in order to see two wonderful
carpets which have been transferred to
the palace by the president's orders, and
which are said to be the most superb
articles of the kind in the world. They
were ordered by Napoleon HI at the
Gobelin manufactory in 1868. They are
of colossal dimensions, one being nearly
thirty feet square, while the other is
eleven yards long and ten yards wide.
It took ten years to complete them,
and once finished their extraordinary
size cansed them to be packed away in
the storehouse of Les Gobelins, whence
they were not extracted even to be ex
hibited at the exhibitions of 1878 and
1889. They are the finest articles of the
kind that have been produced for the
French government since Louis XIV or
dered "ninety-three carpets for cere
monies and festivals" to be manufac
tured at La Savonnerie for the great
ballrooms and reception rooms of the
Louvre and of Versailles.
The smaller of the two, which has a
yellow ground, is set down in the in
ventory as being worth $40,000,' the
larger, the ground of which is black,
being estimated at $50,000, though the
real value of each is stated to be at
least double. Paris Letter.
Tha Motartlan System.
The all pervading principle of the Mo
tartian system was a conciseness of con
struction and an unmistakable geogra
phy of tonality. Before Moxart, melodio
figures, subjects and keys, with all other
theoretical addenda at the disposal of
the creative musician, were confused,
Mere bits of tune and jingle, with a bril

Haydn had brought much chaotic and
Irregular theoretical lore into clear and
definite shape, but Mozart simplified
matters still more. Introducing the
keenest outlines, the most beautiful fig
ures, together with clear and luoid
teachings, he defined the formal con

peat, etc., until uow the musician or
student can set ont with his principal

A mosquito's bill is-an elaborate con

ordinary rates, expired some days ago; but for a large consideration an extension of contract for a
