A Reliable Preparation A Respon
sible Firm. '
Of the many remedies before the pub
lic there is , perhaps , none that has given
such uniform satisfaction as Ely's Cream
Balm , the renowned specific for Catnrrh
and kindred diseases. For over a quar
ter of a century it has stood the good test ,
growing in popularity as the years roll
by , until the fame of the good work it has
performed has made it a household word
the country over. A soothing , efficacious
and entirely harmless balm , it is easy to
apply and brings relief and comfort to
the thousands who are sufferers from
catarrh in this climate during the fall ,
winter and spring seasons. A more re
liable nor honorable firm than the pro
prietors , Ely Brothers , whose name the
celebrated remedy bears , cannot be found
in any business or profession , so that in
recommending this preparation to suffer
ers it can truthfully be said that it is
not only meritorious as to the ingredients
of which it is composed , but that it is
hacked up by honor and integrity as
well.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THINGS.
Persona Who Go Alone the Street
Watchinjc the Sidewalk.
"The 'lost and found' columns of the
newspaper is responsible for a rather
peculiar habit. " said an observant citi
zen , according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat , "and it produces a
rather singular mental condition. It
has caused a great many persons to
make a rather close study of the side
walks of the city , and no doubt many
of them live in the constant hope of
picking up something very valuable.
They have all sorts of wild dreams
about finding jewelry , more or less val
uable , and big rolls of money and
things of that sort. I am not speaking
of the unhappy and extremely unfortu- J I 1
nate class whose life is spent in search-
Ing the sidewalks and the gutters for
whatever trifle they may pick up. I
have in mind a different sort of people ,
(
people who are more cultivated and
1
more refined , and whose minds have by
degrees bent into the groove. Maybe
some of them have found something at
some time or other , and this has caused
them to search , more or less diligently ,
the sidewalk as they rush along the
I
street. I know of one case of this sort ,
I
a young man who has been so influ-
!
c-nced by the habit that he goes along
the street with his head down , often
passing his nearest and closest friends
without seeing them. He made the
statement to me a few days ago that
during the last year he had found six
silver dimes on the sidewalk , and he
had gradually drifted into the habit of
searching the sidewalks with his eyes
as he passed along the streets. 'Be
sides , ' he said , 'I am always reading
the lost and found column in the news
papers , and the thing has a sort of fas
cination for me. It has produced a
perpetual condition of mental excite
ment , and of course I get a great deal
of pleasure out of it. ' Now , here is a
curious thing. Men for some time have
indulged the foolish habit of counting
cracks in the sidewalks or telegraph
poles , and touching things with their
hands , but few of us have been aware
of the existence of a class of men who
are constantly trying to find something
as they brush along the street. When
we have found men looking intently at
the sidewalk we have supposed that
they were counting cracks , or trying to
keep from stepping on cracks , or mak
ing some sort of curious study of the
sidewalk's topography , but instead we
now learn that they are actually look
ing for wealth , trying to find some
thing that somebody else has lost.

MISSION OF THE CHEAP CIGAR.
Method in the Madness of Selling for
Absolutely Low Prices.
"So you are going to try to force us
retailers out of the business ! " ex
claimed an irate little cigar man , bris
tling with Indignation and addressing
the manager of one of a number of
cut-rate cigar stores.
"Nothing of the kind , " replied the
manager , bustling about his work.
' And the tobacco trust has put you
up to this and is footing the bills ! "
was the cigar man's second explosion.
"Now , see here , " said the manager ,
taking the angry little man by the
buttonhole and leading him out of the
way of customers , "you don't under
stand the game. We're increasing the
consumption of tobacco. We're build
ing up your business. "
"Don't see it , " said the retailer ,
"when you sell a standard 3-cent cigar j
five for 12 cents. "
"That's just the way we're doing it , ' '
replied the manager. "The man who
smokes two j-cent cigars a day comes
in here and takes five for 12 cents and
smokes them all in a day. A few
weeks of that , and he wants his five
cigars every day. He gets tired of
coming around here to look for bar
gains , and in a few weeks he begins to
stop at your stand , as he used to do ,
but instead of buying 10 cents' worth
of cigars , he leaves a quarter in your
cash register and carries away half a
dozen cigars. We've increased your
trade 150 per cent. "
"I hadn't looked at it that way , " said
the retailer , calming down.
"And here's another scheme of ours , "
continued the manager. "Hundreds of
smokers never treat themselves to a
10-cent cigar. We offer three 10-cent-
ers and three fivers for a quarter. The
smoker takes them and gets the taste
for the better cigar. When he comes
back to your shop he wants a 10-cent
cigar. "
"By Jove ! it's a great scheme , " said
the cigar man , quite appeased. New

The Motion Prevailed
An old town official of the city of
Macon , Ga. , says in Short Stories that
during the night of the earthquake
disturbances of 1SSG the city council
was in session. j
When the quake shook the city hall' '
from basement to attic the council-1
men ran out , thinking the house would
topple over. Whereupon the wag who
who kept the minutes of the meeting
concluded his record with the follow
ing sentence :
"On motion of the city hall , the
council adjourned. "

time two of them get together they talk ! 1 j

"If they do it's because they are not i
conceited like the men , " replied Mrs.
B. "When two men get together they
always talk about themselves. "

ITALIAN OF THE ASH DUMP.
Where Thi Foreigner Gets Fuel for
His Fire.
There is a value to everything , and
the Italian is cognizant of the fact , al
though the value is small. He gathers
cinders , wood , rags , bottles , paper , rubj
ber and leather shoes , and old tin cans ,
all of which have been thrown away by
others. Sometimes two or more fam-
ilies unite in making their collections
and disposing of them , forming in a
small way a trust or co-operative Indus-
try.
I The coal and wood they utilize for
fuel in their homes , and turn trie other
products of their labor into money in
the following way :
The old shoes and rubbers are sold to
a shoemaker , usually another Italian ,
1 and bring from f to 2.1 cents a pair , the
prices varying according to their con
dition. The shoemaker repairs them
nnd disposes of them again as second-
hand.
The rags and paper are sold to the
wholesale junk dealer , and usually
bring about (5 cents a hundred weight
for old paper and anywhere from 10
to 80 cents a hundred weight for rags.
The bottles are washed and disposed
of through the same agency. The price
of bottles fluctuates , an average being
$1 a hundred : but the Italian seldom
sells on a ' 'bear" market.
' The bones are sold to the fertilizer
factories , $2 a ton being paid.
The tin cans are sold to foundries ,
.where the solder and tin are melted off
and the iron sheets are melted up and
sash weights made from them. Old
tomato cans and fruit cans bring $ , ' { a
ton , and it takes more than 4.000 of
these cans to make a ton.
There must be some money made in
this business , for an Italian residing in
.New York city pays to that corporation
the sinn of $ . ' 10,000 a year for the privi
lege of picking tho above-mentioned
commodities ( trimming , they call It )
'from the sfows that bear the city's
ashes and garbage to the sea. Chris

IT'S UNNECESSARY TO SAY.
Many Remarks that Are Entirely Sn-
perflnonH at All Times.
A new society is proposed to have for
its title "The Society for the Suppres
sion of Obvious Remarks. " A list of
speeches is to be prepared which the so
ciety binds Itself not to use , thus ele
vating the character of general conver
sation. Here are some of the speci
mens of obvious remarks : "It is not
the actual degree of heat registered by
the thermometer which makes it so un
comfortable ; it is the humidity in the
atmosphere. " "I don't mind the
money ; it's the principle of the thing. "
"One never understands the name
when one is introduced to a per
son. " "If the water were filtered it
would be just as good as the water of
any city. " "The trouble al > out going to
summer gardens is it takes you so long
to get home. " "You can put on two
fresh collars a day and then never have
a clean one on. "
These are statements over which no
one disputes and they may be increased
to an almost unlimited degree. The ob
ject to be gained in refraining from
them is rather indefinite except that
they waste time , but as everyone has
immeasurable quantities of time to
waste , and no gain can be shown in
saving it , the work of the S. S. O. R.
society seems an idle expenditure of ef
fort. If everybody carried on a thought
ful conversation a state of mental ex
haustion would soon be brought about
where all conversations would cease ,
and silence in company , as everyone
knows. Is more rasping on the nerves
than an o'-can of commonplace re
marks. The babling of tongues is an
excellent deadenor of thought and no
one should permit his thoughts to work
overtime if he desires to be happy.
Chicago Chronicle.
Not a Chinese Word.
"It's a mistake to suppose that 'joss'
is a Chinese word , " says a retired
ship's carpenter. "I've traveled a. good
bit in the orient in my time , and among
the odds and ends of interesting infor
mation I picked up was a knock-out
of the genuineness of 'joss' as a Chi
nese word. Chinamen only know
'joss' when they come in contact with
Europeans. A Chinese priest that I
became chummy with in Hankow told
* me that there was no such word in
Chinese. He explained that the word
was a corruption of the Spanish word
'Dios' and had come into use through
the missionaries. Many early mission
aries , he said , were Spanish priests ,
and their ' '
pronunciation of 'Dios' was
speedily corrupted into 'joss' by na
tive tongues and applied to the Chi
nese dieties. It's only on the Chinese
seaboard that the word is understood
by Chinamen. In the interior , the
priest told me. the celestials had no
knowledge of It. "
Tin ; Mourning Evil.
The use of crepe for mourning veils
is becoming less every day , and in
summer the crinkly fabric is scarcely
seen. Many physicians protest against
women wearing crepe veils at any sea
son of the year , and the nun's veiling ,
grenadine , and similar materials have
to a large extent , replaced the crepe
drapery ( that formerly wa. a distinctive
badge of bereavement.
For widows or other women wearing
crepe mourning it is the fancy at pres
ent < to wear a short veil of fine grena
dine < or gauze , falling in graceful folds
at the back and draped on a bonnet
frame of light weight , edged with a
narrow band of crepe. A bow of crepe
adorns the front of the bonnet
It is as important that a man should
acquire new ways of complimenting as
that a woman should learn new ways
of cooking potatoes.
