British steamers arrived in New
York report that war has ceased for a
time but that the American flair still
gives the native government much
trouble. It is not allowed to bo
hoisted from any building, or in any
way be publicly displayed, without
paying a government tax of $0 per
day, so these persons report.
One new feature of the stringent
demand is that made upon the owners
of small American schooners and
coasting vessels. They are not al
lowed to fly the American flag at their
masthead under any condition, it is
reported, and neither the Columbia
nor the straight Nicaraguan flag must
be floated. Failure to comply with
this stringent request makes the
owners liable to seizure.
The revenue system In vogue at
Bluefields is noted for its utter disre
gard of any law. Some American
vessels that entered there a short
time ago with small cargoes of tobac
co were charged SI per pound for all
that was unloaded. Heavy and very
unreasonable fines are imposed upon
the captains of vessels for every little
thing found on their ships not speci
fied in the written manifests.
These extortions have driven most
of the deep sea vessels from entering
that port, and all trade has boen re
duced to a minimum. Where twenty
large steamers used to put in at Blue
flelds regularly every week, now only
five have business there.
ONE BITER WAS BITTEN.
The Second-Hand Man Thought He Had
a ••Bonanza,” But Was Fooled,
A dapper young man walked into a
second-hand clothing store and un
rolled from a package a pair of sum
mer trousers. As he threw them on
the counter the buckle or something
else made a noise in striking that at
tracted the attention of the dealer.
"How much will you give me for
these?" asked the dapper man.
"Late in the season for summer
goods,” answered the dealer, as he
held up the trousers for examination
and slipped his hands into the pock
ets as he did so.
"Well, how much?” asked the man.
"Twenty-five cents is all they are
worth.”
“Then roll them up. I will give
them to some poor fellow before sell
ing them for that."
"Let me see,” said the storekeeper,
as he turned them over and thrust his
hand in the left pocket. “Well, call
it fifty cents.”
"Roll them up. I won't take less
than 83.”
“Three dollars!” exclaimed the
merchant. "That will buy a new
pair.”
"All right. Roll them up.”
• “Well, my friend, considering it is
vou, I will give you $3. ”
The money was paid, the seller
walked out, and the purchaser went
to the back of the store and from the
left pocket of the trousers took a wad
of paper and two old-fashioned
oennies.
LI HUNG CHANQ’S WIFE.
A Story Illustrating Her Kindness to For
eign t'hyslclans.
The wife of Li Hung Chang is about
55 years of age, and comes of a distin
guished Manchurian family. The fol
lowing story is told to explain her
kindness to foreign physicians: Some
years ago she was taken very sick
with a complication of diseases, and
after being treated several months by
the leading physicians of the capital
was given up by them to die. In,
these straits 6he and the viceroy
called iii a male and female physician
belonging to the American board of
foreign missions, who were so
skilful and also so fortunate as
to preserve her life, and in the
course of a year to restore her former
health and strength. This incident
increased the affection of both her
self and Li Hung Chang for foreign
missions, foreign physicians and
foreigners in general. Li Hung
Chang commemorated his gratitude
by fitting up a general dispensary at
Tien Tsin, which he presented to the
mission, while Lady Li, not to be out
done in her appreciation of the skill
that she had enjoyed, established a
second, especially for women, and
placed it entirely in the charge of
the American lady physician who had
attended lier. Roth before and after
her sickness she has granted audience
to scores of European and American
ladies, a privilege that is not accorded
by more than one in a thousand Chi
nese ladies belonging to tho nobility.
In the Maine Wood*.
The wearing1 of moccasins is so com
mon in the rural districts of Maine
and Now Brunswick that shoemakers
find it profitable to manufacture
them wholesale, although the Indians
are still reputed to make the best
The true moccasin is a light, thin
foot covering of deerskin; but what
is called a “slmpack.” and is perhaps
even more in use, is a moccasin with
an extra thickness of leather under
the sole, and it comes a little higher
on the ankle. The lumbermen wear
“larrigans,’’ which are made some
times of deer hide and sometimes of
moose leather, thick, strong, stiff,and
oiled until they are as yellow as bar
soap. They are shaped like boots,
with heavy soles, and reach half way
to the knee.
Why Dr. Holmes Ilad the Bluet.
Dr. Holmes, several years ago, asked !
a friend: “What is your idea of hap- |
piness?” And the prompt answer, j
“Four feet on the fender,” gave him
great satisfaction. Some time later, j
perhaps a year or more, this friend J
found Dr. Holmes in his study, sitting !
alone by the fire, looking not very
kappy. To the visitor’s solicitous
greeting came the reply: ‘ ’Only two
feet on the fender.”

A COMEDIAN *8 0 CRITICISM.
Ho Wont to Jail for It, Bat tho Knloor
Vino Hard Hit.
There Is a story going the round of
foreign papers which gives an ingen
ious explanation of the reason why
Emperor William of Germany has not
traveled so much tills year as in
former years. Well-informed Gor
mans, it is said, attribute his compar
ative quiet to tho audacious criticism
of a singer in a music hall. This
German Paulus appeared on the stago
of a music hall in Hamburg some time
ago in three different costumes. Tho
first represented an old man in mili
tary uniform, who, as he walked
across the stage, pronounced tho
words: “I have not time to get tired."
The audience saw at once that the
actor was impersonating old Emperor
William I.
When he appeared fo# tho second
time, he represented a sick man. He
wore a long, gray beard. In a sad
voice he said: "Learn to suffer with
out complaining,” an expression at
tributed to Emperor Frederick on his
death bed.
The third figure was that of a young
man with a long blonde mustache.
Rushing upon the stage, ho cried:
“Michaol, fix my valise. We shall
start on another voyage.”
The people laughed heartily, and
applauded the apparent comparison
between the three German emperors.
But as the artist was on the point of
leaving the hall he was arrested and
thrown into prison, where he remained
fourteen days. The criticism, the
papers say, went to tho heart of the
emperor, and he decided to travel
less.
BIQ MEN.
They Can Learn a Lesson From the
Little Newsboy.
On a street car platform the other
day was a little newsboy kicking his
toeless shoes oneo in a while to get
warm and putting his hands quite
through the pockets of his ragged
jacket in his efforts to keep them
away from the raw air. He looked
jolly and happy, though,and whistled
as ho jumped about Pretty soon an
other boy jumped on the car, a little
bigger than the newsboy, but just
about as ragged and poorly clothed.
They knew each other evidently, for
the newsboy cordially welcomed the
second arrival with a “Hallo, Joe,
how’s luck to-day?”
Luck was bad, Joe said, and he was
blue and discouraged. His friend
tried hard to cheer him. “Now, don't
you get down,” he said, “you’ll be all
right soon. X hate to see you so blue.
Now, look here,I’ve got some money,”
and he put his hand in- one of his
trousers’ pockets and drew out some
money, indeed, but very little. There
was a ten and a five cent piece. “You
take the ton, Joe; I’ve got to use five
to ride back, but I don’t want the ten
a bit,” and he made Joe take it The
boys rode away uptown with the pas
senger who was listening to their
talk, and all the way the little follow
worked hard to cheer up Joe. So
well did he succeed that when he left
him Joe was laughing and happy. A
good many boys wouldn’t think they
had much cheerfulness to spare or
money to give away if they were
poor, ragged little newsboys.
A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT.
And the Minister Tells the Story as
Against Himself.
The Rev. George R. Dodson, the
popular Unitarian minister of Ala
meda, Cal., tells rather a good story
at his own expense. While spending
his summer vacation at Skagg’s
Springs one of his greatest friends
was a fellow boarder, a little girl
about 8 years old. The two were
constant companions, and the child
daily accompanied the clergyman on
his excursions in the neighborhood.
One evening the little girl remarked
to her fellow diners:
“I like going out with Mr. Dodson.”
“Why,” queried a stranger, hop
ing to draw the child out.
“Because he has no morals,” was
the startling reply.
When the summer boarders had re
covered their equanimity they insti
tuted an investigation, the upshot of
which was the discovery that the
curly-haired maiden possessed an in
satiable craving for stories. This de
sire was frequently gratified by Mr.
Dodson, but unlike the anecdotes of
the child’s mother, the minister's
tales were nover pointed with a moral
for the youngster’s government.
Treasonable Tattooing.
At Erfurt, in Germany, there is a
young' man who has conceived so
violent a hatred for the existing form
of government in his country that he
has tattooed all over his body phrases
which are described as insulting to
Emperor William. In the middle of
his chest are the words: “Nieder mit
den tyrannen’’ (Down with tyrants).
In England anyone might with per
fect impunity indulge a harmless
little eccentricity of this kind, but,
unfortunatoly for the young socialist
in question, there is the conscription
in Germany, and conscripts are sub
ject to a minute inspection by the
army doctors. When it came to his
time to be examined there was quite
a commotion. The captain who pre
sided at the ceremony ordered him
to be put under arrest, and he now
awaits his trial for high treason.
A stone plotter.
A stono blotter pad being intro
duced is made of bibulous stone that
is said to absorb ink more readily
than any blotting paper in use. It is
formed by compressing the sediment
deposited by certain hot springs,
which, having been accumulating for
ages, “is available in inexhaustible
quantitiea” It is highly porous, and
will, it is said, take up u surprising j
quantity of ink, requiring only oc- ;
casional scraping with a knife to |
keep it clean and ready for use.

HARD-PAN BUSINESS.
There Wee no Sentiment In Title Far*
tleular Tramactlon.
He stepped out of a doorway on a
city avenue the other night and con
fronted a pedestrian to say:
“Time is money and I will detain
you but a moment." I
“That’s right—what is it?” was the I
query.
“You have no money for such as
me?"
"No, sir—no, sirl"
“Because I would make for the
nearest saloon and spend it for drink?"
“That’s it exactly.”
“But, on the other hand, you are a
humane man and would not see me
want for food?”
“I might be willing to fill you up at
a restaurant, but I’m not buying beer
for tramps.”
“Certainly not. We now come to
business. To fill me up at the cheap
est restaurant in this town would
cost you from SO to S8, as I have eaten
nothing for a week. On the other
hand, you can buy mo oil for fifteen
cents in cash. Sentiment does not
enter into the question. You either
pay out at least $8 or only fifteen
cents. It’s for you to say which. Ow
ing to the hard times you—”
“Here’s your fifteen,” said the pe
destrian, as ho jingled two coins in
his palm.
“Thanks—that’s business.”
“Hut as you have consumed thirty
cents' worth of my valuable time I’ll
replace it in my pocket and send you
a bill for the balance. Straight busi
ness—no sentiment—good night."
And the tramp watched him out of
sight and heaved a long sigh and
whispered to himself:
“That’s a horse on me, and I guess
I'd better look around for a saddle or
harness.”
In Vino Veritas.
It was a convivial party, and it had
reached that stage where the “invis
ible spirit of wine” makes itself de
cidedly visible. One of the party was
of the kind that carry well a heavy
load, and even when fully cargoad
present but few evidences to the eye
of such a condition. Another was of
exactly the opposite nature, one of
those individuals who when in their
cups look it, smell of it, and are alter
nately laughing and crying, aggres
sive and affectionate. The quieter |
looked the noisier over while the lat
ter was making an unpleasant exhi
bition of himself and remarked to a
neighbor: “How—hie—how much a
drunken drunkard disgusts a sober
drunkard!”
Heart Disease 30 Yrs!
Short Breath, Palpitation.
Mr. G. W. McKinsey, postmaster of
Kokomo, Ind., and a brave cx-soldicr,
says: “I had been severely troubled
with heart disease ever since leaving
the army at the close of the late war.
I was troubled with palpitation and
shortness of breath. I could not
sleep on my left side, and had pain
around my heart. I became so 111
that I was much alarmed, and for
tunately my attention was called to
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
I decided to try it The first bottle
made a decided improvement in my
condition, and five bottles lave com
pletely cured me.”
