SPECIAL NOTICE.
There is nothing in a name, but in a
bottle of Wisdom's Robertine there is a
world of satisfaction to ladies of taste
and refinement. It whitens and
beautifies the skin without the injurious
effects that attend the use of most cos
metics. The only visible evidence of
its use is a beautiful, clear and healthf ul
complexion. Every lady using it recom
mends it to her friends.
The man who controls himself makes
unwritten laws for many other people.
WISDOM'S ROBERTINE
Is the most delightful article ever pro
duced for beautifying and preserving
the complexion. Not only removes
blemishes but leaves the skin as soft as
velvet and as fresh looking as a morn
ing glory. Used and endorsed by the
elite of society and the stage, leading
physicians say it is not only harmless
but positively beneficial to the skin.
The man who chases hubbies will
bark his shins sooner or later.

When the publishers decided to
issue The Journal twice a week
at the same price of the old week
lies, $1.00 per year, they sti uok
just what the public wanted—
somethin# between the old-fash
ioned weekly and the high-priced
daily. The success of The Semi
Weekly Journal has been imme
diate and continued. It has dis
tanced every one of its once-a-week
rivals. It doesn’t take long to
convince people that a good live
paper every Tuesday and Friday
is better than only one a week,
especially when you appeal to their
pocket books, and give it to them
at the same price. Readers will
testify that it is almost as good as
a daily. The markets twice a
week are worth the money. Four
complete novels each year by
“The Duchess,” Miss Braddon,
and other widely known authors,
are worth the dollar. Its legisla
tive news is its strong point just
now. rit is wide-awade, spends
money for news, and is always in
the lead. You can see its supe
riority over the old-fashioned
weekly. Everyone who subscribes
now gets a Seaside Library free.

The Captain’* Sight.
It is sometimes a fault of young peo
ple to rely too fully upon their own opin
ions or impressions, and there are grown
people who are quite too sure regarding
matters to which they have given little
attention. A passenger on a French
steamer tells this story:
The wind was fresh, and we were run
ning at the rate of 12 knots an hour.
Our mariners were deceived in their cal
culations, and as the lead did not indi
cate the proximity of the coast they were
expected to approach they concluded
that the currents had carried us into the
channel. One morning at break of day
I heard the captain exclaim:
“1 see breakers through the mist.”
M. de l’Aiguille, an officer of superior
merit, who nevertheless displayed some
times too much of the confidence of
youth, replied with a smile, “Those
breakers, captain, are nowhere but in
your glass.”
"Young man,” said our old captain,
with a tone of anger, “you are major
general to the squadron and may give it
the orders you think proper, but I know
what I have to do. It is I who .answer
for the safety of my ship. I shall there
fore give orders to tack, for there is not
a moment to be lost."
He accordingly gave that order, and
during its execution, the fog having sud
denly cleared away, we perceived at
about 200 yards from us the rocks against
which our fleet would inevitably have
perished. Fortunately the whole squad
ron imitated the movement of our ves
sel, and all danger was over.
The young officer lost no time in thank
ing the captain for his wise reproof, and
for his adherence to the duties of his po
sition.—Youth’s Companion.
An Electric Elevated Bond In England.
No misgivings need apply to the case
of the new railway at Liverpool. In size
and power, as well as in the ingenuity of
its details, it surpasses the best American
models. It extends along the quays of
the great line of docks on the Mersey for
nearly seven miles. Its carriages are of
full size, not arranged like a tram car,
but like the ordinary passenger car of
the United States, each being in two
compartments and capaple of seating 57
persons. Befleath each car is an electric
motor of from 100 to 70 horsepower, and
the speed will be as high as 30 miles au
hour.
The power to work the trains, and
with them the accessories of signals and
light, is the same, and generated from a
single point on the system. The whole
runs upon an “overhead railroad” or con
tinuous bridge of iron. That is not, how
ever, of the essence of an electric railway,
though the lightness of electric rolling
gear makes such an arrangement cheap
and suitable for the purpose.—London
Spectator.
Au English Boy’s Knowledge of Literature.
Every one who is not a schoolmaster is
aware that a young Englishman knows
almost nothing of the literature of his
own land, and what little he does know
he dislikes, because he has had at school
to translate it into Latin. It is most hu
miliating to hear an American youth
discourse upon this matter while our
own sons sit mum and glum. Efforts
have been made of late to find out what
our boys do read for their own pleasure.
go4 the result of these inquiries seems to
“be til at they read the accounts of prize
fights.
One headmaster tries to prove that
this is dei-ived from the influence of
Homer, but it is much more likely that
it comes from a perusal of the sporting
newspapers and the general devotion to
athletics. From whatever cause it arises,
it is certainly true that while there is no
deficiency of good poetry and good fic
tion among us the rising generation
cares for neither.—London Hlustrated

England’s Banking Center.
Threadneedle street is a corruption of
Thridenal street, meaning the third
street from “Chepesyde” to the great
thoroughfare from London bridge to
“Bushop Gate” (consisting of New Fyslie
streate and Bushop Gate streate, Anglo
Saxon, thridda, third). Another etymol
ogy is Thrig-needle (three needle street),
from the three needles which the Nee
dle Makers’ company bore in their arms.
It begins at the Mansion house, and
therefore the Bank of England stands in
it. The directors of the Bank of Eng
land were called “The Old Lady In
Threadneedle Street” by William Cob
bett, because, like Mrs. Partington, they
tried with their broom to keep back the
Atlantic waves of national progress.
After giving the foregoing, Brewer notes
the following extract from Dickens’ “Dr.
Marigold:” “A silver curl paper that 1
myself took off the shining locks of the
ever beautiful old lady of Threadneedle
street” (a bank note).—Brooklyn Eagle.
A Little Absentminded.
It is told of a prominent clergyman
that when writing his sermon for last
Sunday he became so engrossed in his
subject that he made it much longer
than usual. When delivering the ser
mon, he noticed that the congregation
was becoming somewhat wearied. He
was anxious to close, but could see no
possible place to stop until through. He
became so nervous that when he stepped
into the chancel to pronounce the bene
diction he said the grace he is accustom
ed to say at table. The effect was elec
trical, and the congregation was well
awakened.—Indianapolis Journal.
Electric Currents In Dentistry.
Much is expected of the use of elec
tricity to deaden sensibility in teeth that
are to be filled or extracted. As to ex
traction, it is announced that already
the use of an electric current delivered
through electrodes containing cotton
saturated with cocaine or ether has pro
duced complete local anaesthesia, so that
teeth have been extracted without pain.

It is Use custom in the Lritish ar'->
that whenever a regiment is transd . J
from one colony to another priannart
who may be in the jail are handed ovoi
to the outgoing corps and continue h 1
sentences at the new station, la • .e
case one of these jailbirds made n
mind that he would not leave the c '
Private Johnson was one of the smart
est men in the corps, and furthermore
he was an excellent groom and almost
a “cordon bleu.” He had one sad fail
ing. He was a thief. His peculations
had, however, been generally small, and
he had escaped serious punishment. One
night a large store in the town was bro
ken into and a considerable amount ol
money stolen. It was conclusively
proved that Johnson was the thief, and
he was sent to jail. When the regiment
was leaving the colony, Johnson, with
some other soldier prisoners, was to be
handed over according to custom. When.,
however, his cell was visited, it wat
empty, and there was not a sign oi
Johnson anywhere.
A search was made in every direction,
and at last a prisoner pointed to a cocoa
nut tree which grew in the middle ol
the prison yard, and there comfortably
seated among the tuft of leaves was
Johnson. The warden at first tried tc
get the man down by quiet persuasion,
then he threatened, then stormed and
swore. Johnson laughed contentedly at
every mood, but did not move. The fact
was reported to the colonial secretary,
who recommended that the fire engine
be called out and the man washed down.
The chief of the tire department haruly
thought it was consonant with his dig
nity to wash a prisoner out of a cocoa
nut tree and reported that there was not
pressure of water enough to get a stream
to the top of the tree. This was proba
bly true, for the tree was a tall one.
The case was again referred to the co
lonial secretary, who took it before he
governor. His excellency was having
luncheon with some of the departing
officers and their friends and was having
a good time. Hp was vexed that at such
a time he should be troubled with official
work, as hastily glancing over tho docu
ment he added the following instruc
tions: “Cut the fellow dowi.. I mean
the tree.”
This could only be done by the engi
neering department, so orderlies were
sent out to find the chief engineer.
While all this was going on, time was
slipping away. Almost all the troops
were onboard the troopship, and asthes’
vessels wait for no one the escort which
had been sent to bring Johnson down to
the ship had to hurry off, not to be late
itself. Johnson bellowed a farewell, and
despite the strong language of the ward
en still laughed and did not move. Be
fore the engineer department had come
to a conclusion as to how to cut down
the tree and lower it gradually, the
troopship had up anchor and was steam
ing out of the harbor.
Then Johnson climbed down the tree
and finished his sentence on the island,
to which he had taken a fancy. His con
viction had carried with it his “discharge
with ignominy.” He settled in the island
and was soon in easy circumstances. He
had undoubtedly hidden his stolen prop
erty, and after his release dug it up and
started in business. When Johnson was
last seen, he was flourishing and had a
large cocoanut grove around his cottage.

Business Enterprise.
“Talk about business enterprise,” said
Frank L. Perley, a circus man. “Away
back in 1885 we had a young fellow with
us who was getting $15 and his board.
The night Jumbo was killed in St.
Thomas this boy developed himself. We
were all sympathizing with poor old
Jumbo and wondering how we could re
place him. The youngster was thinking
of something else. You know the tail
of an elephant has at the very tip a
bunch of thick hair very much like a
brush. This boy got under the fence and
had pulled every hair out of Jumbo’s
tail. His business at the circus was to
sell balloons to children. Well, there
were 76 of those thick hairs, and at the
show the next afternoon he was selling
them for $1 apiece as relics of the great
giant. He sold 75 of them and practi
cally found $75. The other one ho kept
for himself and still wears it as his mas
cot.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Kntli Said Her Verse.
Little Ruth can read very nicely, and
her mother is anxious that at an early
age she shall become familiar with the
Bible, so that when she was obliged to
leave home to be gone five months she
told Ruth she would bring her home a
muff if she would say a Bible verse every
night before she went to bed. Ruth
promised that she would. Mamma came
home at the end of the five months. Be
fore presenting the muff she said: “How
ab t the verses, Ruth?” “I said one
every night, mamma.” “That’s mam
ma's nice girl. You must have learned
a good many in five months, dear.”
“Why, I always said the very same one.”
“The same one all the time! What was
that?’ “Jesus wept,” said Ruth. It
wasn’t just what mother expected, but
Ruth got the muff.—Boston Globe.
