Women as Hotel Guests.
“Just at present, madam, we have no room that would suit you. Our vacant rooms are almost all en suite, on the lower floors of the house, and our charges for them are much more than jxm say you care to pay. Thank you for favoring us with a calL" Good afternoon.” That was the pretty speech delivered by a mild-mannered young man to a sharp-featured lady of about forty-five years, who wore corkscrew curls and bore other evidences of being an old maid of determined disposition, who was endeavoring to secure a room in an up-town hotel. As she walked away the smilling clerk turned with a weary sigh to a reporter and said: “That’s one of the lies which we have to keep in stock. ” “What is the necessity for it? Just' this, our hotel is patronized largely by men df means, who believe in getting all the good things that are to be obtained in a first-class hotel. They patronize the bar, the wine-cellar and the cigar stand. The hotel is a small one and we seldom have more than a few rooms vacant. If we should take that elderly female, whom you just saw talking to me, as a boarder we would not make any money on her, for single women of her age seldom spend any JRore money than is absolutely necessary. They ■don’t go in for luxuries. “The hotel is lighted by gas. Young or old, single or married, women are all the time curling their hair with tonges, or making a cup of fresh tea for themselves or their callers, and they are notably afraid of being alone in the dark. “The poor, lonesome dears light each and every gas jet in their rooms, turn the gas on at full pressure and let it bum that way from dusk until dawn. They are constantly ringing the bell for the bell boys and asking more questions than can be answered by reference to all the encyclopedias that have yet been published. “Of course they mean well, but, my dear fellow, some of the most infernal nuisances hotel clerks have to deal with are people who mean well. No, sir; we don’t want unmarried women of the severe age in our hotel.”— Neiv York Telegram.
A Wrong Diagnosis.
“Um! Yes! Singular!” lie said, as lie stood at the cashier’s desk in the restaurant and felt in his pockets. “Been robbed, I suppose?” sneered the cashier. “Perhaps. Let’s see. Did I change my pantaloons?” “Oh, of course.” “I guess I did, and left my money in. the other pair.” “Say, that’s too old to go down here, mister! I want 60 cents!” “Yes—yes, but you see ” “I see a dead-beat who’ll get a good kicking if he doesn’t hand over the cash!” “Mercy! but you don’t take me for a dead-beat, I hope!” “Sixty cents!” “But I’ve left my money.” “Sixty cents, or you’ll get the bounce!” “I’ll go out and borrow it.” “Oh, no! Hand it over, or the kicker will take charge of you.” “Let’s see! Did I ehange my clothes? Yes, I did. But ” “No buts about it. I want 60 cents!” “But I must have slipped some money in my hind pocket. Ah! so I did, and here it is.” And he fished up a great wad, tossed the cashier a SSO bill, and, while waiting for his ehange, shook hands with two bankers, and drew his check for $5,000 to settlo a real-estate transaction. The cashier is still in bed, and the doctor says it is a very serious case.— Detroit Free Press.
Snow-warmed Land.
Mr. W. M. "Williams finds the beneficence of snow fully manifested, in such a climate as that of Siberia, where a temperature of seventy to eighty degrees below zero, or thirty to forty degrees below the freezing point of mer-* - cury, was recorded last October. The snow, coming early in the season, and being an almost absolute nonconductor of heat, serves as an effective clothing for the soil, which is thus protected from so low a minimum temperature as it occasionally reaches in England, with the air at fifteen or twenty degrees over naked ground. Hence the. paradox of Siberian vegetation, which is so luxuriant in the summer, when the heat of the long days is so very intense.—Ark. Traveler.
How It Might Be, Sometimes.
Cashier —Not a dollar of that $200,000 you Dave been lending to your stock-broking friends can be collected. Director—l see. The bank will have to break, but if it does the directors may land in the penitentiary. You have no money ahead, I suppose ? “Not a cent.” , “I thought,s.o v . ( We have kept your salary small oh purpose.” “Eh?” / “You -will be out of a position and likely to starve when the bank breaks.” “I know it. ” .A “Well, here’s $20,000. Take it and go to Canada. I’ll announce that you haver skipped with $220,000, but we’ll take*-,'gpod care not to find you.”— Omaha World.
About Terbacker Chorin’.
An anti-tobacconist makes a campaign document out of the fact that the cannibals will not eat a man who chews tobacco. Hoh! Neither will a man who chews tobacco eat a cannibal. So, there!— Burdette.
Pleasures of Public Life.
“Talk about the pleasures of public life,” exclaimed Spouter; “why, man, you don’t know anything alxrat it. It is no bed of roses, I can tell you. Now just let me give you a case in point. Old Joe Brown wanted to build a bridge across Puddle Pond, and I made a big speech in favor of the improvement, which I told the Legislature was in the interest of the laboring classes; that it would inure to the welfare of the agricultural population, and that, in short, it was demanded by every right-minded man who had the welfare and prosperity of the country at heart. Well, what then? Why, Bill Jones— Bill is (me of my constituents, you know—came and said that a bridge over that pond would scare his ducks, and he wanted me to stop it. Then I had to go to work and prepare another speech, in which I said that from additional information just received,' I found that the proposed bridge was a move on the part of a capitalist to rob the laboring classes of their rights; that it would be the death knell of the fanner, and that no one who loved his countoy could vote for it. It’s awful wearing on us public men, to walk on both sides of the fence, but we have to do it; our constituents demand it, you see; but as I said'before, it’s terribly wearing.”—Boston Transcript.
Marion Harland.
The celebrated authoress, so highly esteemed by the women of America, says on pages 103 and 445 of her popular work, “ Eve's Daughters; or, Common Sense for Maid, Wife, and Mother: ” “For the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal strength—an AiiiiCOCK’s Porous Plaster is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong, warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of uneasiness for several days—in obstinate cases, for perhaps a fortnight.” “For pain in the back wear an Allcock’s Porous Plaster constantly, renewing as it weais off. This is an invaluable support when the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching incessant.”
Heart Disease in Children.
In an article in the Brooklyn Medical Journal the writer calls attention to the frequency with which certain symptoms in children are misinterpreted or overlooked, and thus the origin of heart disease is neglected, when a little more care would lead to its detection and appropriate treatment. It is not an infrequent occurrence for a child to be taken sick with fever, together, perhaps, with nausea, vomiting and pain, which latter the child refers to the stomach. A hasty diagnosis is made of fever and pain due to gastric irritation; after a time the child makes a fair recovery, and the sickness is soon forgotten. But after the lapse of one, two or three years, the doctor is called to the child again, and, having occasion to examine the chest, is surprised to find a cardiac murmur, and wonders when the child had rheumatism.
The Opening of the Campaign.
To open the campaign with any hopes of speedy success, attack the enemy, malaria, before it has a chance to intrench. An obstinate foe 'twill prove if you don’t go right at it. It you are prudent, too, you will have fortified, upon the first intimation ot its presence in your neighboorhood. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the medicinal ammunition that you require. Every form of malarial fever yieldß to this fine preventive and remedy. For constipation, liver complaint, dyspepsia, nervousness and kidney trouble it is no less effective. Residents of malarial localities, and persons sojourning in or bound for the West, should select this medicine as a means of defense against the frequent visitations of miasma. Those in delicate health, the aged and the enfeebled, should in every instance resort to this signal invlgorant. Use it for weak nerves.
Always Useful.
Robley—l suppose you didn’t find your college training of much use while editing a paper in such a place as Devil’s Gulch. Yalenine —Didn’t, eh? "Why, I had to maul the backbone out of half a dozen ruffians the first week I was there.— Judge .
Just About.
“How much cider did you make this year ?" inquired one farmer of another who had offered a specimen for trial. “Fifteen barrels,” was the answer. Another sip. “Well, if you had another apple you might have made another barrel.”— Leisure Hours.
The Use of Honey.
Honey is coming extensively into use for the table, and there are men who go about and serve it regularly at Philadelphia houses. Honey, eaten with bread, is thought to be beneficial to health. —Philadelphia Times.
Reducing the Surplus.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is entirely right in saying that when women get the ballot they will reduce the surplus. Many a man can testify that some of them are not waiting for the ballot.— Philadelphia Press.
An Austrian has patented a process for getting a thread that can be spun and bleached from wood, which is cut in long lengths and boiled till it will cleave apart in fibrous bunches by shaking in water. It is then shredded by hand or by machinery, and spun like hemp. This gives a very fine thread, and less boiling gives a coarser one.
Thebe were 26,945 students in the twenty German universities during the last session. Of these 1,643 were foreigners.
One at a Time.
“Mamma, what did you pray for ?” said the little five-year-old son of a friend of mine. “Why, for papa and mamma, and for God to make you a good boy,” she replied. “Well, that’s just what I’ve be:-n praying for, too,” said the young philosopher, “and if you are going to keep on I’ll quit."— Albany Journal. There are seventy-seven pupils, of whom thirty-two are boys, in the Indian school at Wabash, Ind. Nearly all of them are members of the Sioux tribe. They are diligent students, and except in the studies requiring close reasoning make as rapid progress as the average American school-.boy. Leave hope behind, All ye who enter here! So ran the due warning which Dante read on the portals of the Inferno. So runs the cruel verdict of your frieuds if you are overtaken by the first symptoms of that terrible disease, consumption. “Leave hope behind! Your days are numbered!” And the struggle against death is given up in despair. But while there is life, there is hope! Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured hundreds of cases worse than yours-; and it wilAftsnre you, if taken in time. But delay is dangerous Mo power can restore a wasted lung; the “Golden Medical Discovery,” however, can and will arrest the disease. The people whom business men prefer to hare ’round are square men.— Shoe and Leather Reporter. Moxle has created the greatest excitement as a beverage, in two years, ever witnessed. from the fact that it brings nervous, exhausted, overworked women to good powers of endurance in a few days; cures the appetite for liquors and tobacco at once, and has recovered a large number of oases of old, helpless paralysis as a food only. Some of us starve o:i what others grow rich on .—Judge.
The Ohio Valley Centennial Exposition.
One of the most important events in the history of our country's wonderful growth and progress is the great Centennial Exposition which opens at Cincinnati on July 4 and lasts for one hundred days, or until October 27. Although the enterprise is called “The Ohio Valley Centennial Exposition.” or the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the Northwest Terri-*-tory, it is really a national exposition in every sense, as every State and Territory is represented and will have splendid disslays5 lays of their productions and wares. 'he National Government has appropriated $150,000 to defray the expense of the Government exhibit ulone. Enormous cases from the Smithsonian Institution and other departments at Washington have arrived full of historical and art treasures of the capital and will be on exhibition. The area available for exhibition space in the several vast halls constructed especially for the occasion is nearly 550,000 square feet, besides nearly 100,000 more square feet for reception and restaurant halls. The works of art already on the ground for exhibition are insured for over $1,000,600. Cincinnati has uniformly been very successful with her expositions, but this year the public spirit and enterprise of her citizens have assumed national proportions and deserve national support.

A Dream of Fair Women.
Tennyson in his exquisite poem, dreams of a long procession of love’y women of ages past This is alt very well, bnt the laureate would have done the, world a greater servioe if he had only told the women of the present how they could improve their health and enhance their charms. This he might easily have done by recommending the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prefer.ption. Health is the best friend of besnty, and the innumerable ills to which women are peculiarly subject, its worst enemies. Long experience has proven that tha health of womankind and the “Favorite Prescription” walk haud in hand, and are inseparable. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the mauufacturers, that it wilt g.ve satisfaction in every ease, or money will be refunded.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, and Hay Fever.
Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
