Ti day I can conscientiously say that. Dr. Miles’ R - storative Nervine and New Heart Curt* did more for me than anything I had ever taken.

A LITTLE HEROINE. The spring sun was shining brightly on the peaks and slopes of the Andalu sian Sierras and on the white hamlet that snugly nestled in the fertile valley be low. It was a pretty sight—this little village with its small whitewashed houses shining in the morning sun, sur rounded on every side by the blue moun tains and thick, green forest. The coun try is very picturesque and wild in this mountainous part of Andalusia, and it is very thinly populated, but the little vil lage of Saldana nestled there contented ly, as if wishing to be shielded from the hot winds of Africa iu August or the cold ones coming from the Pyrenees in January. Saldaua people were in general very cheerful, polite and sociable to any stranger who by chance strayed among their wilds, but now the village wears a mournful aspect. The streets are de serted, the houses, clean and neat as “little silver cups,” have their ever hos pitable doors closed. Once in awhile a woman is seen on the street going quick ly on some errand, and returning imme diately with all possible speed to her home. I he reason for this depression was I that the Carlist war was waging hotly in Spain, and the day before news bad reached Saldana that a Carlist detach ment composed of the fierce northern Basques, followers of Dun Carlos, was approaching the little town. All tho able men of Saldana had joined a small company of the royal army and were concealed about in the mountains, from whence they expected to surprise the Carlists, to whom this part of the country was unknown. About noon cf the day after the news was received, Petrona, wife of Juan Alvarez, the carpenter of the village, called Gloiia, her eldest (laughter, a pretty 15-year-old girl with dark curly hair and liig, black eyes, and putting in her bauds a large basket, said: “Go, child, to La Quebrada and carry ! something te rat to your poor father and j brother and take care that no reprobate Carlist sees you.” Gloria took the basket and briskly went on her way without misgivings, for no Carlist had as yet been seen near Saldana. She had walked about a mile from her home by a path cut into the rock when the song that came so merrily from her lips stopped suddenly, for on reaching a big rock which marked the half way between Saldana and La Que brada an unseen person cried to her: “Halt!” Mechanically Gloria paused on her way and looked around her. As if by magic she saw herself surrounded by many soldiers on horseback, and this was not the worst—she recognized by the uniforms and colors that they were followers of Don Carlos the Pretender. One of the men, who seemed to be their leader, approached her and asked: “Where are von going?” The poor child was so frightened that she burst into tears. The officer dismounted. “Let me see what you have in that basket,” he said. “Ah, food! That is good. We have not had anything so good for a long time— eggs, bread, meat, fruit. Now, my dear, you were taking these provisions to some royalists concealed about these mountains, were you not? Now, tell me where they are.” roor uriona Knew mat u sne told mm the place of their concealment all the soldiers would be slain, including her fa ther and brother, for the number of Carl ists was so much larger than the royal ists. In her fright she thought their number reached many thousands. On the other hand, if she refused to tell where the royalist soldiers were, she was sure these monsters would kill her. The commanding officer took the bas ket trorn her arm and gave it to one of the soldiers, then said in his strong, harsh northern accent: “Look here, girl, you were taking food to some soldiers around here. I know that. If you lead us to where they are, l will give you these two shining gold ounces. If you refuse, I will shoot you with this musket. Do you understand: Now go ahead?” A desperate resolve was forming itself in Gloria's brain, the undaunted cour age of her ancestors began to rise in het soul. She turned to the captain and said: “Yes, I know where they are, but they are very far away. If you wish, 1 will take you to them.” "That is right.” The captain ordered a soldier to give her one of the extra horses captured in the morning, and. tying a rope, which he kept in his hand, to the neck of the ani mal. he told her to lead on. Everybody followed her. Across clear streams and roaring torrents she took them. They walked by dangerous paths beside deep precipices. Here and there they crossed a picturesque valley7. After nearly four hours of incessant marching, and when the sun was in his descent toward the horizon, Gloria stopped, and turning to the captain said: “I am too tired and can go no far ther.” The Basque eyed her suspiciously and asked: “Are we near their camp?” “I do not know. I have lost my way7.” “You lie, girl!” shouted the man furi ously, shaking her roughly by the arm. “Y*ou have purposely misled us, and taken us miles from them. Now, for the last time, Til give you one more chance. Will you lead us to where the royalist soldiers are?” Gloria raised her beautiful eyes to the man’s face, eyes that at this moment were more angelic than human, and without faltering said in a low voice: “No, senor.” “You little devil!” roared the man, now possessed of an uncontrollable fury, “I'll teach you to fool me like this. Pull her down from the horse, bring some strong rope and bind her hands and feet!” he shouted to his men. There are no crueler or bloodier wars than those waged between brothers, and in this Carlist war both parties com mitted some acts that make those who hear of them wonder if the wretches who were guilty of those atrocities were human beings or wild beasts. Pale as death and trembling lay poor Gloria at the feet of this human tiger. Her lips moved. Perhaps she was re peating the prayers taught her by her mother. Still not a tear dimmed the soft luster of her eyes. “Do you see that precipice? It is very deep. If you do not tell me, I will throw you over there, tied hand and foot as you are now. You will die a horrible death. Only one thing will save you. Now tell me where the enemy is camped.” “I cannot, senor.” There was a wild cry that the Carlist officer would hear until the day of his death, and then, after a few minutes of complete silence, the captain gave the order to march forward to find a camp for the night. Not for the world would he have passed the night there. Five hundred feet below the setting sun lighted a dark, motionless mass by the side of a little mountain stream flow ing and murmuring over the smooth pebbles, as if singing a hymn in honor of the heroic Gloria. In the little village chnreh of Saldana there is a small marble stone with the name of Gloria Alvarez, on which is re corded the deed by which she saved the royalist detachment. And when the stranger exclaims, in admiration of her courage, “She was a wonderful child!” the old sexton, who delights to tell her story to the visitors, interrupts with con viction, “She was no child, senor; she was one of God's own angels!”—Amalia Solano in Short Stories. Live Within Your Means. An American capitalist, who is a keen observer, is reported to have said that he did not believe that there was an Ameri can citizen whose income represented a salary who was not living beyond his means. And he added that, if the man had a family, he was bringing up that family to standards and wants that he could not honestly gratify. Our own ob servation does not bear witness to this assertion. Eut if the alleged fact be true to any considerable extent it must be regarded as among the causes of the many embezzlements and other pecun iary delinquencies which have become so common of late years. “Playing the races” has been the ruin of a multitude, but living beyond one's means must bear part of the blame. And it is more serious than is commonly im agined. It involves false pretenses and fraud. It is a mean species of crime, and yet often committed without any compunction. Men are afraid or ashamed to say, “I can't afford it,” and yet are not afraid or ashamed to contract debts which they know that they cannot hon estly pay.—Christian Intelligencer. Stage Love Versus Real Love. Does stage love impair real love?—Boston Globe. We cannot say for sure, but we guess not, or anyhow not always. Perhaps, in truth, real love and stage love are often of the same essence, of like substance, of similar quality, and closely akin to each other. Indeed, for all we can say, the resemblance between them may be marked, or even very marked. Ask the younger Dumas or M. Pierre Loti or Mr. Robert L. Stevenson or, in case all those persons have gone out, ask the well in formed Mr. W illiam D. Howells of this place, who rarely ever goes out. except to collect the proceeds of his copyright from the publishers of his novels. We are unable to say whether Professor Helmholtz, the German chemist now in this country, who is a man of analysis and apprehension, could throw any light on the subject. But we can tell the Bos ton Globe that it is very foolish in put ting its question about stage love and real love to stage lovers and real lovers, as it has vainly done. The question is of the gallipot.—New York Sun. The Pearly Gates Ajar. An ancient legend sa? that the angel on guard at the door of heaven was once asked by an inquisitive passer if more married or more single women passed through. “More married ones,” he promptly an swered. “Indeed!” said the questioner, who was a man, and who immediately began to plume himself. “Their husbands’ vir tues of course admitted them. That was right. The stronger should aid the weaker.” “No,” replied the angel, “that is not the reason.” “Then what is it?” “Well, if you must know," said the angel confidentially, “we pass them first on their own merits. Lots of ’em get through that way. Then, when we can’t find any other recommendation for a married woman, it is written against her name. ‘These are they which have come np out of great tribulation,’ and the gates fly open.” Hunting Lions. Among the Arabs, where the lion is hunted with success, the hunter studies his beast before engaging in battle. If he is very fat, there is little danger in pot shots. If he is lean and spry, the Arab will maneuver for a coign of van tage from which he can pour in three or four shots before coming to close quar ters.—Exchange. Why He Thought So.

It Is the Largest Ever Known and Is VT*?rth ft."*,000,000—How It Was Found. Captain Jonas Anderson of the firm of Westergaard & Co., shipbrokers of this city, was the center of a group of curious ones recently as he carefully opened a box which had been mailed to him all the way from Cape Town. As he unfolded layers of paper wrappings everybody was on the qni vive, and at last lie triumphantly displayed a plaster cast of the newly discovered Excelsior diamond, the largest known in the world. The discovery of the monster diamond in the Jagersfontein mine was made on the evening of June 30 last. Captain Ed ward Jorgansonn, the superintendent of the mine, who is a son-in-law of Captain Anderson, was just quitting work after seeing the men out of the diggings when suddenly a bright lump attracted him, and he stooped to pick it np. At the same time a native Basut truck driver saw it and grabbed it. Captain Jorgansonn told the native to take it to Manager Gifford. That gentleman pronounced it a diamond of the first water and worth about $3, 000,000. It was a curious fact and much commented on that a firm, Messrs. Breit mever & Bernlieimer, had just contracted with the company to take over all its finds for one month at a certain price, and the very first find on their contract was the Excelsior. Extraordinary precautions were taken in transporting it to the coach. A troop of the Sixteenth lancers escorted it to Cape Town, where it was transferred to the gunboat Antelope, and is now de posited in the Bank of England. The British government has offered £500,000 for it, which has been declined. The Chicago World’s fair commissioners were very anxious to get the giant bit of costly carbon, and offered to insure it to the extent of $3,500,000, but the proprietors were obdurate and would not let the stone cross the ocean. The stone is white, with a bluish tinge, and reflects all the colors of the rainbow. It measures 3 inches in length, 34 inches in its broadest part, and weighs 9711 carats, or 74 ounces avoirdupois. The only flaw is a small black spot right in the centre. This, however, can easily be cut out. The Emperor of Germatij' is said to be negotiating for its purchase. —Philadelphia Times. SWEET PROSPERITY. Where 1,000,000 Pounds of Sugrar Is Made Per Week and Everybody Is Happy. A Napoleonville correspondent of the New Orleans Times-Democrat writes as follows: The weather is all that could be de sired, and cane cutting and grinding are further advanced than have ever been known. The yield is excellent and the extraction far above anything on record. Mr. L. Godchaux’s Elm Hall refinery barreled up 1,000,000 pounds of sugar the past week, the production of seven days’ grinding. About 900 tons of cane per day passes through the reliefs, 40, 000 pounds of granulated sugar fails from the vacuum pans every six hours, and under the skillful management of Mr. Eddie Godchaux there is no letup in this vast aggregation of machinery, t )t for a minute. With 500 men under iis supervision not one hesitates, but 11 know their duty and do it by some kind of instinct, as it were. During the day 100 wagons feed the maw of this monster mill with cane, and at night 500 cars are pnlled in with 1,000 tons of cane to appease the ever ciying call for more cane. About eight miles of railway are required to handle this vast crop. A Baldwin locomotive will take the place of mule propulsion in a few days. Yet with all this immense acreage and all this cane to handle the indomitable enterprise of the mana; er has led to the incorporation of about 800 acres more new land, and even now can be heard the terrific blasts of dynamite operating with fatal effects on the stumps that block the progress of the plow. If any one were to mention the fact that this country was now in the throes of a great financial panic—that is, in this section—he would be sent to an asylum for safe keeping. Times were never bet ter, and altogether prosperity is on top, and everybody is happy. A Thorn In His Knee. When a boy 17 years of age, in the year 1650, V. Newell, who now resides beyond Nichols’ ranch and is now over 60 years of age, was out hunting and ran in his knee what he supposed was a thorn. It broke off so deep in the knee that the wound closed up, and all search failed to locate it. Mr. Newell finally concluded that he was mistaken, and ev erybody told him his troubles were caused by rheumatism. Of late the old gentleman's knee got to be so bad that he had it lanced several times and was treated for rheumatism. A few days ago the thorn worked its way out and was found to be half an inchin length. Mr. Newell says after suffering untold misery for 43 years he now feels easier with the thorn in a lit tle bottle instead of in his knee.—Grass Valley (Cal.) Union. A Costly Glass of Beer. Theodore Voeste was today sentenced to 60 days in jail, to pay a fine of $200 and costs of trial and to give $2,000 bond to not again engage in the liquor busi ness. All this for pleading guilty to sell ing one glass of beer. Previous to sentence Judge Randolph, who is and always has been an enthu siast on prohibition, asked Voeste if there was any reason why his sentence should be light. Voeste said he had paid regular monthly fines to the city, and as he had now quit the business he ought to be let off easy.—Emporia (Kan.) Dispatch. A Wise Boniface. The proprietor of a restaurant in Paris recently issued the following notice: “Being desirous of honoring the Rus sians, who are the country's guests, I have decided to change the name of this establishment, and by the use of a sin gle apostrophe to transform it from the Cafe Divan into the Cafe d’lvan.”—Paris Figaro. M A N ITOBA 0 K1ZZ LIES. MONSTROUS BEARS IN THE FORESTS BACK IN THE MOUNTAINS. Some of Them Tower Six Feet Above a Nan, aud It Takes Nerve to Stand In That Tremendous Presence—A Hunter Saved His Life by I><;iii£ a Circus Act. Fifteen years ago, sail] George W. Rue, a Manitoba pioneer, the grizzly bear was so plentiful among the Mani toba Rockies that the Hudson Bay com pany annually secured many hundreds of their skins from the army of hunters and trappers that had its range in that wild region, but today this fierce and ponderous beast—nowhere so fierce or of such enormous proportions as among the Manitoba fastnesses—is quite a rari ty in its old haunts, and 1 doubt if one can now be come upon without a diffi cult and tedious journey of at least 800 miles into the interior wilderness of the province. The grizzly has met with almost, as hard a fate as the buffalo, although, from the nature aud isolation of its present retreats and the difficulties attendant on hunting and trapping for it. the grizzly bear, like the Manitoba moose, will nev er become e-.tinct inth it country. 1 be lieve that t l.o moose, although the flesh of 2,000 of them is required to supply the military stations in the territory alone with fresh meat every year, is as plenti ful today in its wild retreats as it lias been at any time since the great inroads of fur and pelt hunters were begun in the territory i Know no reason way me grizzly near of the Manitoba Rockies should grow so much larger than the grizzly of the same mountains in the States, hut a long and varied experience in hunting tlict ■ animals in their respective localities has proved to me that such is the fact. No grizzly bear that L ever captured or that 1 ever knew to be captured south of Manitoba measured more than 7i feet from muzzle to tail, or weighed more th in 1,200 pounds. But it was no un common thing in the palmy days of grizzly hears in Manitoba for the hunter or trapper to be confronted by one of these monsters 9 feet in length and with a bulk of 1,500 pounds or more. I have seen Manitoba grizzlies that when they threw themselves on their haunches and rose erect towered five feet aud six feet above me, and 1 want to tell you that it takes a man with a large quantity and the best quality of nerve to stand in that tremendous presence and prepared to do battle coolly aud with a level bead. Grizzly bears, like all the rest of the bear family, have the curious habit of rising against a tree, and, reaching up as far as they can with their fore paws, making marks in the bark by digging it with their claws. I have more than once come across these measuring marks of a grizzly, as the marks on the bark are called, 12 feet above the ground. Imagine coming suddenly upon a beast like that in some deep ravine or isolated spot almost impassable owing to the down timber heaped and tangled on the ground and surrounded by rocks anil thick underbrush. The sight of his great jaws, open aud red, anil his eyes flashing in fury at you from the enor mous head that towers so far above you. is something only to be appreciated when once seen. When there were buffaloes on the plains. Manitoba grizzly bears were keen and persistent hunters of them. When a grizzly and a buffalo met, there was sure to be a tearful contest, although it seldom lasted long, and the buffalo was usually the victim. The buffalo bull, wiien confronted by a bear, would in variably charge ferociously upon its big and ugly foe. This was just what the bear desired, and he awaited, erect on his haunches, the onset of the buffalo. As the latter rushed forward with low ered head and was almost upon the bear the immense grizzly threw himself quickly to one side, and with a blow as quick as lightning with one of his great forepaws seldom failed to break his an tagonist’s neck. A Manitoba grizzly has been known to engage in rapid succes sion four and even five infuriated buffalo bulls and kill every one of them. It I sometimes happened, though, that a bull ! younger and more agile than his com panion succeeded in evading the fatal blow of the grizzly’s terrible paw long enough to give in turn a deadly thrust of his horn into the bear's side, puncturing his vitals and making the contest a mu tual slaughter. In general characteristics, of course, the Manitoba grizzly is not in any way different from others of the family. While l believe that a grizzly bear will sometimes wait and precipitate a fight i with a man and take pains to put him self in the way of one, iu the great ma jority of cases he will take a second thought about the matter and back out. A queer instance of this disposition came to my knowledge once where a famous Manitoba guide courageously advanced upon three grizzlies, an old she one and two half grown cubs, and, by a series of ridiculous monkey-shines and I acrobatic maneuvers within a rod or two of the threatening bears, filled them with sncli astonishment and apparent fear that they retreated to the woods as fast as the}' could go. The hunter’s gun had snapped in both barrels, he having drawn on the old bear before the young ones came upon the scene. It was iu a fit of desperation that he tried the turning of a handspring and jumping up and down, clapping his hands and resorting to other unhnnter like measures. He had been told once that a hunter had frightened a moun tain lion away by similar absurd move ments. and he found that it worked to | perfection in the case of the three griz zly bears, but he never, even in the face of that fact, advised or encouraged any I one to go hunting Manitoba or any other kind of grizzlies armed with noth mg more than a capacity to turn gro esqne somersaults.—New York Sun.

Nothing goes to waste on a big rail road. and every scrap of iron and much secondhand material is valued at a fixed price and carried on the hooka as so much stock on hand. The system followed by Hie storekeeper's department of one rail road is a sample of many. The second hand metals are gathered and placed in piles, regularly assorted. Then they are classified by the foie man and taken into stock by the store keeper or assistant. There are regular schedules—one of material which can be used again, which is denominated seo ondhand. and another of material which has to be melted la fore it can be used, which is known as scrap. The classes are arranged something after the following order: Steel scrap, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and (i, at prices ranging from $28 a ton down; wrought iron. Nos. 1, 2, 3 End 4; cast iron. Nos 1. 2, 8 and 4. Even borings arc taken into no count, brass borings being credited at eight cents per pound and brass scrap and copper at twelve. This material is shipped to division headquarters when a carload has accu mulated. Here it is disposed of by the storekeeper on order of his chief, being shipped in carloads to big dealers in old metals in large cities. Much of it goes to Pittsburg, Cincinnati and such points. Orders for as high as 500,000 pounds of one kind of material are occasionally re ceived from single firms. Most of the secondhand material is used over again in the shops', but it is previously talo n on 1 he books at a fixed price by I he store keeper and is charged up to the account of the articles for which it is us“
