HERE THEY COME.
The Big Show and its Foreign
Captives.
This year Sells Brothers' amusement
holiday for everybody within a radius of
fifty miles of MoCook comes early in
August and the indications all point to
such an influx and mustering of our
Btalwart country cousins, their good
wives, sturdy sons and rosy-cheeked
daughters, as was never seen on such an
occasion before. For the glory and
profit of their twenty-second annual
amusement campaign, the Messrs. Sells
have olearly made heiculean efforts to
provide any amount of everything to
please all tastes.
The Big Show of the World will be
presented hear in more than the mag
nitude and prelection which during the
winter months so entirely captivated
Australia and won the unqualified ad
miration of its press and people; for
while abroad most notable additions
were made to its attraction by the pur
chase in Australasia, the East Indies and
elsewhere, of many exceedingly rare and
royal wild beasts, birds and reptiles.
Conspicuous among them three truely
tremendous tigers, as big as cows, and
any one of which eould make a picnic
lunch of any other heretofore exhibited;
a whole drove of giant kangaroos of
varied hue, a flock of splendid full grown
and baby emus, prodigious constricting
serpents, odd apes and gorgeously plu
maged, language-gifted birds. To the
other novel and varied attractions of the
show we need not again make a special
reference They are duly and fairly
set forth in the flood of advertisements
and co nstitute a grand and wholesome
exhibit which can not fail to universally
please and profit.
The Messrs. Sells wish it distinctly
and finally understood that their great
show is not divided, never was and never
will be, but is always and every-where
fully,- fairly and squarely presented.
They do not pamper New York City and
starve all the rest of the land with a cut
down, inferior exhibition. On the con
trary, they employ for the entire season
the great artists which others can only
afford to engage for a few days' met
ropolitan appearance, and,consequently
give the most expensive, brilliant and
complete performance of all.

HIDING PRETTY HARD.
Ad Old Wartime Engineer Telia About na
Eventful Railway Journey.
Bivouacked- around a campfire one
evening were a party of officers busily
engaged in roasting goobers in the ashes
and washing them down with the con
tents of their canteens. “Never heard
tell o’ the time I got lost in the moun
tains with a engin’, did ye?" asked a tall,
lanky, good humored comrade, who
strolled up and helped himself to a hand
ful of the goobers.
Every man present expressed his bit
ter regret at never having had the op
portunity of hearing the story.
“Waal,” said the tall man, seating him
self on an upturned bucket, “I mont’s
well tell ye, long’s tiler's time afore taps.
I war runnin an engin’ fur the guv’ment
doorin the war down in Ferginny. She
wur an ol hookmotion Rogers an smart

holt onto it.
“I had a nigger fireman as was afraid
of his shadder, w’ich didn’t prevent him
goin to sleep at any minute, day or night,
whilst he war standin up lookin ahead,
’parently wide awake. But I wuz goin
to tell ye about gettin lost. Ye see.’twas
this way: They started us out one dark
night over a branch that we didn’t know,
and we had to go to it blin. The track
war in turr’ble shape, an ’twould hev
puzzled ye to say when we wuz on the
rails an when we wuzn’t. I should say
we everidged ’bout half and half. We
was plowin Tong ’bout so so, when all
of a suddent I saw by the headlight thet
we was a-goin into a tunnil.
“I giv Zeb a kick and hollered, ‘Zeb,
is ther’ a tunnil on this line?’
“ ‘Can’t tell for shuah, boss,’ said he;
‘mighty cur us dc in’s these days. ’Twasn’t
so ’fo’ de wah.’
“ ‘Waal, keep yer eye skinned fer snags,’
I sung out, an as I wuz sort of sleepy
myself I snoozed off an on, mostly on, I
guess, fer a spell, till finally the old gal
giv’ a snort an stopped dead. We both
on us waked up to wunst.
“ ’Twas so dark I couldn’t see Zeb to

him fer lettin us hit a snag. ‘Git down

“He took the torch -an clim'ed down

asked him.

Artificial Features.
Artificial noses are now made of alu
minium, and they are so perfectly shaped,
colored and adjusted as to defy detec
tion. The aluminium is first covered
with some light cloth—muslin generally
—and is then painted, and the color
of the skin is so closely adhered to that
it is impossible to tell which is the false
nose and which the true until you pull
it. The materials formerly used for this
purpose were vulcanite, wax, celluloid,
wood and porcelain, but for many rea
sons aluminium is the superior of them
all, it being lighter as well as stronger.
Aluminium ears have become quite as
fashionable as aluminium noses.
There are more of these false noses and
ears on the street than one would sup
pose until one deliberately looks into the
subject. Scores of people wear these de
ceptive noses and ears, and so artistically
are they made that it is impossible to
tell the false with the naked eye. I have
said that the best way to tell a real nose
from the false member is to give it a
jerk. Yet I must admit that if one were
to go about jerking the noses of friends
or strangers just to detect the false noses
life might be made decidedly unpleasant
for that one.—Chicago Tribune.

Yankee Sententlou.neu Saving Salt.
In our opinion sententiousness is rare
ly effective without a considerable dash
of humor. How much more telling Em
erson’s sententiousness was than that of
most of his contemporaries (Goethe, for
example, or Carlyle), just because Emer
son was seldom sententious without a
smile, while Carlyle was most senten
tious when he was least humorous. A
Yankee, indeed, seldom gives advice
without a little irony pointed to himself
for giving it, but Germans and English
men are sententious in grim earnest and
are very apt to be quite as self important
as they are earnest. Very few of the so
called wise sayings of Goethe and Car
lyle are free from this fault of ponder
osity.—London Spectator.
Steam Vesiel First Used as a Transport.
There is a curious fact that may have
been overlooked—that troops withdrawn
from Canada upon the close of the
American war of 1812-15 for the purpose
of joining the army intended to crush
Napoleon after his return from Elba
were transported down the St. Lawrence
by a Canadian steamer. This was prob
ably the first occasion on which a steam
vessel was used for purposes of military
transport.—Toronto News.
A Sensible Prayer.
“And now, parson,” said the editor,
“will you ask a blessing before we dine?”
“Good Lord,” said the parson, “have
mercy upon this man and open his eyes
that he may see and understand that
greens are not greens without bacon, and
that grace without grits is dead!”—At
lanta Constitution.
, The Beal Mother Goose.
“Mother Goose,” who is probably more
familiar to children than any other per
sonage in story books, was a real person.
Mrs. .Goose, for that was her real name,
lived with a family named Fleet who
cept a little store in Pudding lane,-Bos
ton.—New York Sun.
The Taste For Display.
I am often reminded of how unwisely
some wives spend money when shopping,
but never more vividly than the other
day when I watched a family in a Sixth
avenue store. The occasion wa3 impor
tant, that was easy to see, for even the
father had left his work to take part in
the selections. The mother, with a baby
in her arms, was poorly dressed and
with little attention to details. She
wore no gloves, her shoes were slipshod
and her choker unfastened. The father
led a small boy who was rather gayly
attired, but the chief object was a girl
of 12 or 14 whom they were fitting out.
They had been on the second floor, as
appeared in the new drees and new jack
et, a very light, delicate affair in the
height of fashion, which was bound to
show wear very soon unless kept far
more carefully than there was any like
lihood of its being. Now they were try
ing on a bit white leghorn hat turned up
in the back with a ribbon bow. The
brim was edged with lace, while two
large white plumes ornamented the
crown.
Never once during the interval of in
decision did the mother glance toward
the array of black or brown straws.
Lizzie must have a big white hat, and of
course the saleswoman was only too glad
to show the expensive models. The
father seemed proud of the new "rig,”
and from his foiled and greasy pocket
book gladly paid the money for the in
appropriate hat just selected. The looker
on could not but imagine its condition a
few weeks hence, when, bedraggled and
soiled, it would look so mean. In fact,
there were quite a number of interested
spectators slyly watching the scene,
doubtless led by the contrast of such
finery with the general appearance of ttft
family. It seemed such a pity that the
sum spent that morning should not have
been for more serviceable apparel, but
who would venture to interfere?—Brook
lyn Eagle._
Seeing the Beautiful.
Franklin tells a story of a man whose
two legs were very unlike—one hand
somely turned, the other deformed.
When any one who visited him looked at
the ugly leg and commented on it, he
held the man to be looking for the bad
side of things and folk. But if the vis
itor saw his handsome limb and com
mented on its beauty he held the fellow
to be worth esteem, for he looked at the
good side of things and probably’ would
see the best in his neighbors and friends.
Is it easier to see other people’s virtues
than their faults? I have at last come to
see that folk are far better than they get
credit for being.
When Carlyle and Emerson walked
London and saw the horror of gin pal
aces and the miseries of poverty, the
former said, “What do you think now
of the Saxon stock?” Emerson answered,
“The more I see of the English people
the more I admire their power and won
der at their progress.” A story is told of
Jesus that he was walking with some of
his friends when they came on the car
cass of a dog. They turned up their
noses in horror, but Jesus stooped down,
and looking said, “But behold what beau
tiful teeth he has.”—St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Won His Way Wltli Logan Carlisle.
Every official in Washington just now
is besieged by people in quest of office,
and the treasury department has prob
ably more than its share of them. Offi
cials know how it is themselves, how
ever, and their good nature is almost su
perhuman. Among the extra well bal
anced ones is Logan Carlisle, chief clerk
of the treasury, and to him came a youth
from Indiana, who wanted to know
about a place that he had in view.
“It’s this way,” said the young man
after some talk. “I’m like the young man
who had his leg cut off by a locomotive.’’'
“How’s that?” inquired Logan.
“I’m in need of immediate attention.
“Oh, in that case," laughed Logan,
“you’d better go to the Emergency hos
pital."
“Well,” exclaimed the youth, making
a low bow, “here 1 am.” And Logan
agreed on the spot to attend to his needs
at the earliest opportunity.—Washing
ton Cor. Chicago Herald.
Mrs. Stanford's Jewels.
Apropos of jewels, the handsomest in
Washington is the collection owned by
Mrs. Leland Stanford, wife of the mil
lionaire senator from California. Her
diamonds are second only in valne to the
Russian and English crown jewels. They
are of all tints—one pink, another yel
low, one blue, besides the pure white
stones, and the aggregate value is esti
mated as being over $2,000,000. In
Mrs. Stanford’s safe of steel, with time
proof burglar locks, which, as she sel
dom wears her jewels, is kept at a safe
deposit company, are 50 diamond rings,
each worth about $500. She cares for
no other stones, so there are only dia
monds in her collection.—Washington
News.
“Assistant Pastor.*'
•‘Assistant pastor” is a new title for a
woman and seems to be so far held by
only one under this name. The pioneer
in this field finds her home and work in
Brooklyn, where, at a salary of $400 a
year, she relieves the pastor of many
routine duties that in a large city parish
unwarrantably consume his time and
energy. The office might better be
called “pastor’s wife’s assistant,” for its
work is taking a direct burden from the
shoulders of those long suffering women.

ly divided?”—Philadelphia Press.
