Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U S. Gov't Report Q The 8ia of Fretting. There is one sin which it seems to me ia everywhere and by everybody un derestimated, and quite too much over looked in valuations of character. It is the sin of fretting. It ia as common as air, as speech, so common that unless it rises above its usual monotone we do not even observe it Watch any ordina ry coming together of people, and see how many minutes it will be before somebody frets that is, makes more or leas complaining statement or something or other which probably every one in the room, or in the oar, or the street corner, it may be, knew before, and probably nobody can help. Why say anything about it I It is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry ; somebody has bro ken an appointment, ill cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith somewhere has resulted in discomfort There are plenty of things to fret about It is simply as tonishing how much annoyance may be found in the course of every day's liv ing, even at the simplest, if one only keeps a sharp eye out on that side of things. Even Holy Writ says we are prone to trouble as sparks fly upward. But even to the sparks flying upward, in the blackest of smoke, there is a blue sky above ; and the less time they waste on the road the sooner tbey will reach it Fretting is all time wasted on the road. Helen Hunt. The Bona as a Fighter. Said an ex-cowboy: "I never saw either cows or buffaloes attack a horse so as to amount to anything, but I want to rise right up and testify to the won derful fighting powers of the horse. He is built for more ways and kinds of fighting than any other product of na ture. He can bite, and he can kick out behind, and he can strike with his fore legs. When he is in action, he fights all over. If you want to see fun, you should see wolves attack a bunch of horses on the plains. The horses get together with their heads forming the hub of awheel and their bodies forming the spokes. Then they fight the wolves with their hind legs. They fill the air with wolves, and every wolf lands dead, wounded or ilL Horses avoid a fight as a rule, but will go out of their way to kill a snake. They jump on the snakes, clubbing their hoofs and using them like a mallet The only other fights they seek are with un mounted men, whom they frequently at tack, or else with one another, and in the latter case they resemble a bnzzsaw in aotiou, all parts going at once. " New York Sun. A Cbmne For the Inveator. With the vast increase of population in our cities and larger towns, and the increase of railroad trains, 6 team engines and electric cars, has come a vast in crease of noise in our streets. We think the man or woman who can invent and patent something easily placed over the ears of the sick and those who want to sleep, and which shall temporarily shut out noise, may obtain a fortune and the thanks of multitudes who now suffer. Our Dumb Animals. A Unique Business. Berlin has a shorthand writer with a unique specialty. He attends all funer als of prominent persons and takes down verbatim the addresses of the officiating clergyman. Then he prepares highly or namented copies of the addresses and sells them to the friends of the eulogized dead. A Universal Debt. . There is not a man living who does not owe the world something. Galves ton New. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly need. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with 'ess expenditure, by more promptly adapting the woild'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 and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable subctance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c ana $1 bottles, bnt it is man ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, yon will not accept any substitute if offered.

Wetherill in Travelers' Record. WHAT A LETTER DID. Bow a Southern Concresamaa Iaaoeenily Hade a lifelong Enemy. "Speaking of stenographers," said a gentleman well known in Washington, who for a number of years represented a Louisiana district in congress, "I once had a secretary, an unusually careful and competent fellow, too, whose slight slip in a typewritten letter to a constitu ent of mine cost me that gentleman's friendship, a friendship valued much more highly than I can express. "This is the way it came about : At a time when I was well nigh submerged with committee duties I received a let ter from the head of one of the most in fluential and widely respected families of the state. His residence had just burned down, he wrote me, the loss coming at a moment when it affected his financial matters to no inconsidera ble extent - Could he not presume upon our many years of friendship to the ex tent of asking a loan of 350, until the insurance companies should settle his claim? I was deeply moved to learn of his misfortune, and immediately dictat ed, along with a number of other let ters, the following lines to him : " 'My Dear Sir I am greatly pained to hear of the calamity which has come upon you. I regret I have not $250 in available funds at present ; will send check in a day or two. "Promptly enongh the check went, but with equal promptness it was returned to me, with no word of explanation. I own I was surprised, but concluded he must have received his insurance mon ey, and the circumstance was gradually forgotten. But it was very forcibly re called to my mind when next I paid a visit to my home, for he did not call upon me, as he had always been wont to do. On the contrary, he shunned a meeting with me. "Imagine my dismay upon finding that the letter I had sent him, in the most kindly spirit possible, contained these words: 'I regret I have got $250 in available funds ; will send check in a day or two. ' In vain I explained, apologized, implored. To his dying day he' never forgave what he termed my studied and unwarranted affront "That is what the touch of a finger upon a wrong key did for me, and for years I have never mailed a letter, long or short, without first subjecting it to the most rigid scrutiny. I tell yon, sir, it pays to be watchful in this respect " Washington Star. The Last Straw. Henry Van Meter, who died in Ban gor about 25 years ago at the advanced age of 110, was a genuine old Virginia darky who drifted down east in some mysterious way in the early part of this century. He imagined himself charged with inspiration from various spirits and was in reality unbalanced in his mind fox the greater part of the time, on ac count of the superstitious beliefs which possessed him. At one time he was summoned to court as witness in a certain case, and the counsel on each side badgered him with questions until his wits became so entangled that his answers grew quite wild and preposterous. Noticing the distress and confusion of the poor old witness, the judge, who was a most kind hearted man, hushed the lawyers and put a simple question to the bewil dered darky, with the intention of bring-, ing him back to the starting point. This third assault, for so Van Meter regarded the kindly judge's interposi tion, proved the last straw to the old darky. "Now, look a-heah, yo' ole gray haired gem man up on de bench dar," he broke out, shaking a trembling forefinger at the judge, "don yo' interfere wid dis yer bus'ness at alL Dis chile's got jess as much as he can do to take care ob dese two fellers down heab, an dat'i de truf I" Youth's Companion. A Dos; In a Crowd. It is really cruel to take a dog, and particularly a small one, into a crowd. No one possessing any imagination would ever do it Can you fancy what the feelings of a little animal must be when it finds itself in a perfect forest of legs, each leg provided with a foot shod in hard leather and liable to come down on one of its poor little paws? Its small brain must be in a ferment of ap prehension all the time, and if it could command any language it would prob ably be of a powerful kind. Philadel phia Ledger. A Kew Port. Heyst, the new port to be built on the North sea at the mouth of the canal that is to make Brnges once more a sea port, will be large enougn to hold 12 or IS of the largest transatlantic steamers. The breakwater will stretch more than two miles out to sea. The port will cost $5,400,000, and $3,400,000 more will be spent on the canal i ACTOR AND SONQ WRITER. oha Woodard, the Veteran Whe Wmto "Joe Bowers" and "The Days of '49." John Woodard, the old time actor : who wrote two world famous songs, "Joe Bowers" and "The Day of Forty -nine," is still alive and acting at the ad vanced age of 70 years. He has bad a very interesting career, and is full of fascinating r e m i n i soenoes. He is a native of Orant county, Ky. , and at the age of 17 started, out to seek bis fortune. He went JOHN WOODARD. down the Licking and Ohio rivers on a flatboat to Louisville, where he met an actor, James Beconi, who persuaded him to adopt the stage aa his career. For three years Woodard roved about the country with different companies, and finally reached St Louis. Every one who knew him declared that he would soon die of consumption, and Woodard concluded to fool them. For the purpose of doing so and im proving his health he started across the plains with Sam Smith, afterward the author of "Struck Oil" and other plays, and when he finally reached California was in excellent physical condition. His clothing was so tattered and his hair and whiskers were so luxuriant, however, that he was enabled for a time to pose in a Sacramento museum as a captured wild man. He then organized a co-operative theatrical company and made a great deal of money playing in mining camps. The company consisted of a manager, an "orchestra," made up of a single fiddler, and six actors, two wom en and four men. Tbey hung up blue blankets for wings, dispensed with the formality of a curtain, and produced such easy plays as "Hamlet," "Mac beth" and "The Lady of Lyons." Woodard was always in great demand aa a singer, although, as he remarks, he "couldn't sing a little bit" He mod estly admits, however, that his audi ences favored him particularly because he wrote his own songs and made them up to date. . It was at this time that he wrote ; My namo It is Joe Bowers; I've got a brother Ike; I'm just from old Missouri Tee, all the way from Pike. He also wrote "The Days of Forty nine," and both songs wera published in San Francisco and became populiirall over the world. TO LIVE AMONC? THE LEPERS. rather Damlen's Brother Takes Up Bis Work Among the Outcasts of Molokai. Father Damien gave his life for the lepers, and his brother, Father Paro phile, has gone to Hawaii to take up his work among the outcasts of Molokal. Father Parr.phile years ago desired to undertake missionary work in Hawaii, rATHEg PAMPHILE. and was preparing for the priesthood. One day his brother, Joseph Damien di Venster, who was then 19 years of age, was brought to see him. Joseph remain ed to dine, and when he returned home told his father that he, too, desired to become a' priest He accordingly began studying at once, and afterward return ed borne to receive his mother's blessing. Father Pampbile prepared himself for missionary work in the south seas, but at the last minute was taken with a fever and forbidden to go. Father Pampbile was deeply disap pointed, and Joseph pleased him very much by volunteering to go in his stead. Thus it was that Father Joseph Damien, the heroio priest, came to visit Hawaii. After laboring for several years in the Pacific islands Father Damien one day heard his bishop lamenting that he could not send a missionary to the lepers on the volcanic island of Molokai. Father Damien at once volunteered to devote his life to the work. For 16 years he la bored among the outcasts, dressing their wounds, improving their moral, spirit ual and physical condition, and bury ing them when they died. Finally he contracted the loathsome disease, and died April 15, 1889. Father Pampbile will aid in carrying on the work his martyred brother began. He will have a much easier tank, how ever, for Father Conrardy, Damien's assistant ; Father Wendolin Moellers and a number of brave nuns are now minis tering to the physical and spiritual wants of the Molokai lepers. Father Pampbile is 68 years of age, and a Belgian. He is a graduate of tho University of Louvain, and has served there as professor of the ology for many years. The settlement at Molokai has been in existence since 1803, when the awful spread of leprosy throughout the Hawaiian group com pelled the government to banish all the victims of the disease to the island. No provision was made for their accommo dation, and they were huddled together in miserable hots, regardless of age, sex or the commonest decency. Their condi tion was wonderfully improved by Fa ther Damien.

Examiner, San Francisco, Cal. In speaking of the physical endur ance which is required of bakers as a olass, Mr. Louis Coppola, of 969 Har vard street, San Franoisoo, took oc casion to say that many of them break down under the severe strain of their work. The most vital point of endur ance is the back. The men have to bend over the long troughs in whloh the dough is mixed. The work is com paratively light until the dough begins to thicken, but then it becomes a con' tinuous process of lifting and throw' ing the heavy mass in a trough con' taining three hundred or four hundred pounds of dough. It nessitates the employment of almost heroulean strength to property mix the dough. "I gave way under the strain of such work," said Mr. Coppola. "It affected my kidneys, just as it does those of many others who follow the trade. I began to experience pains in the small of my back. At first tbey were periodial, but they afterwards be came more frequent and finally it be came so that I suffered from them not only while I was working but when I was at leisure. Thoy would seize upon me while I slept and cause me hours of painful wakefulness. I soon saw that I was being unfitted for my work, so I began taking medicine for the relief of the complaint It was all to no avail, however, until I puroahsed a box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. I did not take the pills in the confidence that they would In any way relieve me of my suffering, but I bought them simply to see if the many reports of their marvelous power were true. I was soon convinced, for before I had taken very many of them the pains in the regions of my kidneys began to be lessened, and before I had taken a full box I had been entirely relieved. I knew no more wakeful nights, no more painfal exertions while at work. In faot, I was a new man, and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "My sister, Mrs. A. Duncan, haa been a sufferer from female weaknesses for some time. She had gone about in a sort of moping, listless way, with no energy for any kind of exertion. When she saw the great good which had been done me by Williams' Pills she deter mined to take some herself. The re sult has been very favorable. She haa gained strength, is as lively as a young girl, and in faot says she feels as though she were ten years younger than she really is." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. Tbey are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hnnderd) at 50 oents a box, or six boxes for $3.50, and may be had of all druggists or directly by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Just la Time. The president of an accident insurcnoe company, strictly in the line of advertis ing his business, has been telling a won derful story, which he locates in Brook lyn, where ' numerous trolley accidents occur. He says: "Some time ago a large policy holder in my company was run over by n trolley oar and his right leg painfully crushed. He remained conscious after the shock for three min utes, during which time he pulled out bis watch and called the attention of the crowd to the fact that it was jnst 15 minutes to 13 o'clock. His policy expir ed at noon, and his foresight was re warded by the immediate payment of bis weekly indemnity without contro versy or litigation. "New Orleans Picayune. Superior American Pens.
