away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulent to the liver and kid
neys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic.
It cures constipation, headache, fainting
spells, sleeplessness and melancholy.
It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative,

THE OLD FRIENDS.
The old friends, tbe old Jrlends
Wo loved when wo v, ro young,
With sunshine on their f ices
And mu"ie on their toasua!
The eooi Rre in the vlmond flower,
Too birds renew their str \ n:
But iho old friends, on|j lost to us,
Can never come again. j
The old friends, the old friends! !
Their brow is lined with care: I
They’ve furrows in the i :clcd cheek 1
And silver in the hair:
But to me they are the old friends still i
In youth and bloom tho same i
As when we drove the flying ball i
Or shouted in the pauu.
—London Spectator.
THE STOLEN JEWELS.
“Why,” cried Eleanor Goode, "it’s
A perfect palace! I really had no
idea of grandeur like this.’'
••Isn’t it?” echoed Miriam Kasson.
“I wish, dear, I could ask you to
stay and spend the day, but I dare
not; I’m too much of a stranger here
to take any liberties. ”
“Oh, I shouldn’t expeot it!” said
Eleanor, looking around at the dec
orated ceilings, pale blue silk
draperies and lovely bits of land
scape on the walla “I know exactly
how you’re situated, Milly. But
can’t you come shopping with me?
Bob has given me a five-dollar bill to
buy a new gown with, and thero are
some of the sweetest old-blue ging
hams at Tuck & Nipp’s. ”
Miss Kasson shook her head.
“Impossible!” said she. “You see
the family have gone to Barrington
to a funeral, and I am left in charge.
And you don’t know,” she added,
with a comical little pursing up of
the lips, “how afraid I am of Mrs.
Yerkes, the housekeeper, or how my
heart beats when I feel myself com
pelled to give an order to the butler. ”
“I wish I were you!” cried Eleanor.
“It would be such fan. ”
“One hardly knows,” sighed
Miriam, whether one is a lady or a
servant!”
‘‘Oh, there can’t be much doubt ot
that!” said Eleanor. “Look at your
self in the mirror, dear. Wouldn’t
you say you beheld a princess in dis
guise?”
“Nonsense! But at least let me
get you a glass of cool water, Nell;
you look so flushed with your long
walk. ”
She slipped away, while Eleanor
beguiled the time of her absence by
a lengthened survey of herself in the
mirror.
Yes, it was no unsatisfactory view
—a dimpled, rosy young Venus, with
sparkling hazel eyes, red lips and a
couplexion of purest pink and white.
And then—Good gracious! one of the
ribbon loops of her airy summer
dress had come loose. She looked
frantically around for a pin to repair
damages, but no pin was to be seen.
“They’re in the bureau drawer,”
said she to herself. “Milly always
was too distressingly neat for any
thing. Oh, here they are!” grasping
at a paper of pina “And here too—
oh, the delicious little glutton!—
I here’s a box of chocolate caramels,
I tied with pink ribbon. I’ll teach her
to hide her sweeties away from me!
How she will stare when she finds
them gone!”
It was the act of a moment to whisk
the bon-bon box into her little shop
ping-bag and appear deeply absorbed
in repairing the damages to her
wardrobe, when Miss Kasson came
in, bringing a glass of water and
some fancy crackers on a small
Japanese tray.
wio tnno dud icauuou iuo lllUl’
ous emporium of Messrs. Tuck &
Nipp, the “bargains” in old blue
ginghams were gone, and nothing
remained “lit to be seen”' at any
price to which she could venture to
aspire, and so she betook herself sor
rowfully to the pretty flat which she
called home.
And none too' soon, for a telegram
awaited her there, announcing that
I her mother, in Orange county, was
very ill, and it was necessary for her
to go thither at once.
At the end of two weeks she
brought her mother home nearly re
covered.
Little Sarah, the youngest sister,
received her joyfully.
“It's been so lonesome without
you, Nell,” said she. “I’ve kept
house beautifully, only Biddy has
scorched the oatmeal every morning,
aud the coffee hasn’t tasted just
right, and Bob has been so busy he
couldn’t find time to go walking with
me.” •
“Busy'.” satirically echoed Eleanor.
“Oh, but he really was! He’s got
a real case, Bob has, and it’s awful
interesting, too. The judge assigned
it to him because the defendant—I
think that’s the proper law phrase,”
with a pretty little wrinkling of the
eyebrows—“hadn’t any means to
provide one for herself. And she’s
ever so pretty, Bdb says, and he’s
quite sure she isn’t guilty; and won’t
it be strange,” nestling her curly
head against her mother's shoulder,
“if Bob should fall in love with his
first client?”
Eleanor looked distressed.
"Mother,” said she, “didn’t I tell
you what would come of your allowing
Sarah to read so many novels? In
love, indeed! Most likely the woman
is an adventuress.”
“All the same,” persisted Sarah,
“Bob says it’s a very interesting case,
and it’s in all the papers headed, ‘The
Great Diamond Bobbery.’”
“Well, I declare!” said Mrs. Goode,
who shared the romantic proclivities
of her young daughter. “A diamond
robbery and a beautiful girl! Of course
she didn’t do it.”
“Oh,” cried Eleanor, impatiently,
stamping her foot, “how impractic
able you all are! Why shouldn't she
be guilty? Can’t a pretty girl bo
wicked as well as a plain one? As if
looks mattered! But all the same I'm
glad Bob has had a good opening in
the courts. And now, mamma, you
must have a cup of tea. and lie down
awhile before dinnor. I’ll go out for
a little; I want to see a dear friend of
mine who must think I'm neglecting'
her shockingly.”
And in the soft July sunset she
wont to tho big house on Fifty-seventh
street, and timidly pressing the elec
tric button, inquired for Miss Kasson.
The tall butler froze her with a
glance.
•Ain't been 'ore for a long time,”
said he, and shut tho door unceri
moniously in her face.
And she returned home in great
amazement.
!n hor absence Mr. Robert Goode
had been “turning’ the place upside
down.” as little Sarah expressed it.
in search of a bag to carry his pa
pers in.
“The lock of mine is out of order,”
i aid he, “and 1 can't get it back un
til '■. ednosday. Any one of your
bugs will do. Nonsense! Do you
think I want a Saratoga trunkP” as
Sarah produced her mother’s travel
ing ca e. • -Or a doll-baby’s satchel P”
as she reached down her own front
tho top sholf. "Is this all you have
got?”
“There’s Nell’s shopping-bag,”
said the little girl. "It’s littler than
motbor’s and bigger than mine. ”
"Get it, then—quick! there’s a
dear little dot! Oh, don't stop to
dust it!”
“But I must,” pleaded the house
wifely little thing. "It was on top
of the wardrobe where Nell put it be
fore she went to Orange county to
bring mother home. And it’s—awful
ly dusty! And I think there’s some
thing in it, too.”
"Pshaw!” said he impatiently. "A
box of candy. ”
He tore the pink ribbon knot apart,
the lid dropped off, and little Sarah,
standing on tiptoe to look into the
bag, stepped back with a shriek.
Something from the inside seemed to
flash up into their eyes like impris
oned fire.
ax ine same xime uieanor came
into the room, flinging her hat and
scar/ wearily down.
“So,’’ cried Robert looking up with
a face which would have furnished a
study to any physiognomist, “you
are the one who stole the Grafton
diamonds!”
• *1 i* The Grafton diamonds P What
do you mean. Bob? Have you gone
crazy?” gasped Eleanor. “What are
you doing in my room?”
“We found the diamonds here in a
box in your leather bag,” said her
brother. “The diamond necklace
for the theft of which poor Miss Eas
ton is on trial!”
“Miss—Kasson. You never meant
that it is Miriam Kasson—my friend
Mir am?”
“Didn’t I tell you so this very
day?'1 cried Goode.
“You never mentioned her name at
all. You kept saying my ‘client’—
•the defendant.' But, oh, Bob, I
know it all now! I was there—at
the bi? house on Fifty-seventh street,
the day before I went to Orange
county for mother. 1 was in Miriam’s
room, and I opened her bureau
drawer to find a pin, and I thought
it would be a joke to take her box of
candy away. I never opened it I
never dreamed what was in it, and
when I got home and found the tele
gram from Aunt Laura, I first flung
the bag down and thought no more
of the whole thing. Oh, poor, poor
darling Milly! But how came the
diamonds in her possession?”
“uon i you unowr cut now snoula
you ?” said Mr. Goode. “The necklace
was put in her special charge to be
delivered to the jeweler who was to
call for it at 3 o'clock. And when he
came it was gone. But it’s all right
now. Great Scott! Nell, who would
suppose that you were the thief!”
Eleanor made an hysteric grasp at
her brother’s arm.
“Will they arrest me, Bob?” stam
mered she. “Will they put me in
prison? But I don't care, so long as
Milly is no longer unjustly suspected.
Yes, I am a thief! But—but I didn’t
know it And I never meant it!”
And she burst into a Btorm of min
gled toars and laughter.
Tfiore was a rather unusual scene
in court that day when the necklace
itself was presented in evidence be
fore the legal luminaries.
The complaint was withdrawn and
the prisoner honorably discharged.
Tho composed and aristocratic Mrs.
General Grafton was greatly moved
and made many apologies to M:ss
Kasson for the position she had
taken.
The newspaper reporters got a
great many “points” for the evening
editions, and Mr. Goode, the “rising
young lawyer,” left the court, with
Miss Kasson leaning on his arm,amid
a tempest of applause.
“Lucky dog, that!" said his com
peers. “After this his fortuno is
made!”
“And all because of my foolish lit
tle practical joke,” said Eleanor.
“After this I shall never want n>
at a chocolate again. Bu‘, *:i :
darling, why didn’t you send to uio in
your trouble?”
"Could I bear to have my derrest
friend know that I was su-pcci. \ f

WHAT IS A MILLION?
Some Suggestion* a* to How ■ Concep
tion Mar Be Formed.
. It you want to get swamped with
figures, supposing at least you have the
conception of what is a million of dol
lars. the total stock of money in the
world is $3,656,935,000 in gold And $3,
944.700.000 in silver, making a grand
total of $7,601,635,000. Say that the
population of the United States is 65,
000,000, then about this amount of
money, $10.47 in gold, $8.55 in silver,
$6.51 in paper notes, or $25.62, suffices
for each one’s use. If there was not
as much money as that per head—little
boys and little girls and little babies
Included—the fathers, who hold the
purse-strings, would complain that
money was tight or hard to get, and ex
change of goods for coin would be diffi
cult.
When you come to figures In their
application to time most of us get
quite lost We call this year 1896—
that is 1896 years since the birth of
Christ. In the history of the world that
is only an Instant, and yet it seems so
far distant as to be somewhat out of
our comprehension. But what is the
mental process which can span the
period between to-day and the time
when the pyramids were built—say
3.000 years before the birth of Christ.
Perhaps one way of comprehending it
is to divide every 100 years by three,
because 33 1-8 years may about repre
sent a generation.
Suppose we take the conquest of
England by William of Normandy, and
his coronation at Westminster, in 1066.
That was 830 years ago. In the eight
centuries there would be about three
generations for each 100 years, and
that would make twenty-five genera
tions and twenty-nine years over. Let
us say the event took place twenty
five generations ago—it is curious di
viding time in that way—how much
nearer William the Conqueror seems to
be to us.
There is only one trouble about this
method; It is the sense of humiliation j
it causes, because twenty-live or thirty
generations ago our forefathers must
have been rather savage people. At
the same time we have the consolation
of knowing that we have Improved
since then. Why Christopher Colum
bus found America only twelve gener
ations back—and there are many people
alive who have seen five generations,
counting themselves. It does not do, |
however, to go too far back, say to the
forefather who was alive when the
pyramid was reared. I do not under
stand 1,964 generations ago.—Harper's
Round Table.
The Olympic Herald*.
When the precise day for the begin
ning of the festival was determined,
peace-heralds were dispatched months
in advance to all the cities of Greece.
One went northward as far as the
Propontis and the Black sea; a second
eastward to the Islands, the coast of
Asia Minor, to Egypt, and to Syria; and
a third westward to the Greek colonies
In Sicily, southern Italy, Gaul, and
Spain. In order to accomplish this gi
gantic task it was necessary for them
to appoint delegates to notify the
smaller or more distant towns. It was
Important, however, that all Greek
cities should receive an official an
nouncement of the great festival. For
the heralds themselves the journey was
no unpleasant oi.e; representatives of
the Olympian Zeus everywhere await
ed their coming and were ready to en
tertain them. In turn wealthy or in
fluential persons from various quarters
of the Greek world were designated as
public guests. When they came to
Olympia they received Important privi
leges, were lodged and feasted at pub
lic expense, and were given the seats
of honor at the games. All classes,
however, flocked to Olympia, some in
vessels, from across the sea, some in
chariots or on horseback, while others,
like Socrates, made the long journey
on foot Those who were not guests of
honor spread their many-colored tents
in the plain, while others slept under
the open sky.
The Bloomers Felted.
Bloomers as an aid to smuggling
were tried by two San Francisco girls
in an experiment that failed. Tbe girls
took passage to Honolulu on one of
tbe mall steamers, and excited the sus
picion of the Hawaiian customs offi
cers by going ashore clad in volumin
ous bloemers. They were followed to
a house in Honolulu, where the discard
ed bloomers and sixty tins of smug
gled opium were found. The girls were
arrested and convicted of smuggling,
but on appeal to the Supreme Court the
case against them was dismissed be
cause their guilt was not proven clear
ly. The gir’~ returned to San Fran
cisco a few days ago in the steerage,
wearing sklrtB.
A Bar* Stamp.
A postage stamp which is pronounced
the rarest in the world has just been
brought to light in Louisville. A col
lector there asked permission to rum
mage among the correspondence of an
old lawyer with the result that he found
one Baltimore postmaster’s stamp (10
cents), on original cover; five New York
five cent stamps; 150 United States five
cent stamps of 1847; 110 United States
10 cent stamps of 1847. The first of
these is said to be worth $5,009, the
value of the others in the aggregate is
$200.
Teela Idea.
Telsa says it is unnecessary to con
struct a geometrical figure to attract tho
attention of the inhabitants of Mars.
It is possible now to generate artificial
thunder and lightning and great elec
tric sparks with a gap of a mile.
Valuable Halter.
In a western Kansas town recently a
man advertised a horse for sale: “Iloise

THE CROCODILE.
A Eew of HU Peculiar Way* of Tran!
acting Bnilnw
There la little la the animal kingdom
that can look bo dead and be so much
alive as a crocodile, says the Pall Mall
Gazette. The number of unsuspect
ing persons who have mistaken him
for a log, and have failed to discover
their mistake until it was too late to
be of any benefit to them, will never
be known. In ancient times, several
years prior to the British occupation
of Egypt, some of the people of that
country worshipped the crocodile as a
god, there being nothing else like him.
The fed him on dainties and togged
him out with jewelry. In other parts
of Egypt, however, the natives looked
upon him as a devil. Having no fire
arms, they did not fill him with lead,
but they 4 managed to immolate him
successfully with such weapons as
were fashionable at the time. The
crocodile is not so numerous In the
Nile as he was in the days of the
Rameses family. In fact, he rather
shuns the river now below the second
cataract on account of the annoyance
Inseparable from tourist traffic. It
seems impossible for a tourist to see
a crocodile without trying to plug him
with a revolver, and to a reptile who
Is fond of a quiet life this sort of thing j
is simply insufferable* He will not mo
lest a man unless he can take him at
a disadvantage, and so long as man
does not unthinkingly step on him the j
crocodile will go his own way and
calmly await his opportunity. He
feeds on fish, but for a course dinner
he would rather have humanity, black
preferred, which shows that there is no
accounting for taste even among rep
tiles. His methods for capturing large
game are plural as well as singular.
Sometimes he will lie on a river bank,
partly covered with sand or mud, until
an absent-minded native wanders
within reach. Having grabbed his
prey, he will waddle into the water,
and there drown the straggler. He
will then drag his victim ashore and
bury him in sand or mud, and wait
for days before he gorges himself.
HISTORIC QUEBEC.
Parts of It tuffeitlTt ot Scenes la the
Old World.
From Quebec a correspondent writes
to the Paris Messenger: “Id an parle
f ran cals” might be written on the por
tals of this quaint and picturesque old
city. Strolling in lower Quebec, you
might easily tansy yourself in Amiens
or Dieppe. In the upper town there
is more English, but everywhere an
amusing mixture. On the same card
you will read "Matson a louer," ‘*1101186
to let:” on one side of the door “Pas
d’admission sans affaires” and on the
other “No admittance except on busi
ness.” This bilingual necessity causes
a little extra painting and printing.
Each railway crossing must be marked
likewise, “Traverse du chemin de fer”
and every official "notice” must be
printed also In full as an "Avis.” The
blending is often curious, as when two
adjoining shops have their announce
ments one in French and the other in
English. Along the Grande Alle, run
ning right across the Plains of Abra
ham, you might be in Brussels or
Paris, only that Clifton terrace seems
to recall you to Kensington. Ameri
can travelers for whom Europe Is too
distant are advised to go to Quebec,
there to find a bit of the mediaeval old
world transplated to the new, but still
embalmed in its ancient religious sen
timentalism, upon which the rush and
roar of modern unrest produce as little
effect as the Atlantic breakers on the I
