What London Drinks.

In a recent ease at the Kensington Petty Sessions the well-known refreshment contractors, Messrs. Spiers & Pond, caterers to the Victorian Exhibition, were summoned at the instigation of the Kensington vestry for selling a sample of brandy and two samples of whisky which w’ere not of the nature, substance and quality of the article demanded. The defense set up was the extraordinary one that in one case a barmaid had emptied into the brandy and whisky decanters the remaining portion of a glass of brandy and water and also a portion of a glass of whisky and water left on the counter by customers. In the case of the other sample the barmaid had, in consequence of a complaint w hich had been made to her that the stock of the bar under her charge was unsatisfactory, put water Into the siphon which supplied the tap from which the sample of whisky was purchased. The bench Inflicted a penalty of £ls. Apart from the fact that the spirits were adulterated, the practice of emptying the leavings of customers’ glasses into the vessels holding the spirits for public supply Is a disgusting and filthy and dangerous one, and the vestry of Kensington deserve the unqualified thanks of the public for the action which they took.—London Lancet.

An Unwilling Pallbearer.

A Frenchman who has not yet fully mastered the Intricacies of the English lamguage went to a friend the other day for information and advice. ‘'Can you tell me,” he said, “vat heem ees—vat you call?—pole bear? Vat ees a pole bear, eh?” “A polar bear?” “Yes. Vat does heem do?” “Oh, it just sits on the Ice and eats fish.” “Comment! And I shall do that? Nevalre! Nevaire! Not at all!” “What do you mean?” “Veil, a man In de boarding-house vere I leeve he die'. amUhey shall say to me vill I be a polar bear for heem. Seet on de ice and eat fish! I will not do ect! Not even for a dead man! Not at all!”

Sailors and Their Grievances.

The grievances of sailors examined by the authorities in ports qf entry are often greatly exaggerated. Violence is always objectionable, and pointedly so, when exerted upon an unfortunate liver, stomach or bowels by dosing with purgatives which weaken the intestines. Use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.

There Is a Class of People

Who are Injured by the use of coffee. Recently there has been placed in all the grocery stores a new preparation called GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee.

ABOUT THE BONDS.

THE war loan which is now being offered will be sold to subscribers at par during the period of subscription, which ends July 14, 1898. The method of subscription has been made as simple as possible. Blank forms may be obtained at every money order postoffice, and at most of the banks and express offices, and on these forms is clearly indicated all that it is necessary for the subscriber to fill out. The subscriber may himself mail to the Treasury Department at Washington the blank form filled out, together with his remittance covering the par value of the amount of bonds for which heywishes to subscribe. That remittance may be in whatever form best suits the subscriber’s convenience—in currency, bank draft, check, postoffice money order, or express money order. The day the currency is received, or the day the proceeds are received from the checks, drafts or money orders, the subscription will be entered and will immediately begin drawing interest. When the bonds are delivered, a check will accompany each delivery covering the interest at 3 per cent from the day the subscription is entered to the Ist of August, the date of the bonds, and from which date the bonds will carry their own interest. Following is a part of the circular issued by Secretary Gage explaining the bond issue:

The Secretary of the Treasury Invites sat>ecrlptJons from the people of the United States for $200,000,000 of the bonds of the 3 per cent, loan authorised by the act of Congress approved June 13, 1898. Subscriptions will be received st par for a period of thfrty-four days, the subscription being opetf from this date to 3 o’clock p. m. on the 14tli day of July, 1898. The bonds will bo Issued in both coupon and registered form, the coupon bonds In denominations of S2O, SIOO, SSOO and SI,OOO, and the registered bonds In denominations of S2O, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO, $5,000 and SIO,OOO. They will be dated Aug. 1, 1898, and by their terms will be redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after ten years from the date Of issue, and due and payable Aug. 1, The bonds will bear Interest'at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, payable quarterly, the interest on the coupon bonds will be paid by means of coupon*, to be attached from the bonds as the Interest becomes due, and the Interest on the registered bonds will be paid by checks drawn to the order of the payees and mailed to their addresses. The law authorizing this Issue of bonds provides that in allotting said bonds the several subscriptions of individuals shall be first accepted, and the subscriptions for the lowest amounts shall be first allotted. In accordance with that provision, allotments to all individual suisscrlbers will be made before any bonds will be allotted to other than Individuals. AH Individual subscriptions for SSOO or less will be allotted In foil as they are received, and such subscriptions must be paid in full at the time the subscription Is made. If the total sum subscribed for In amounts of SSOO or less should exceed $200,000,000 the allotments will be made according to the priority of the receipt of the subscriptions. Allotments on subscriptions for over SSOO will not be made until after the subscription doses, July 14, and will then be made inversely according to the size of the subscription, the smaKe»t subscription being first allotted, then the next in size next, and so on, preference being given t<X Individual subscriptions. Persons subscribing for more than SSOO must send in cash or certified checks to the amount of 2 per cent, of the sum subscribed for, such deposit to constitute a partial payment, and to be forfeited to the United States in the event of failure on the subscriber’s part to make full payment for his subscription, according to the terms of the circular. Allotments to subscribers for more than SSOO will be made as soon as possible after the subscription closes. In order to%avold a too rapid absorption of funds into the treasury, with a possible consequent evil effect on Industry and commerce, any subscriber for more than SSOO will be permitted to take his allotment of bonds In installments of 20 per cent., taking the first Installment within ten days after the notice of the allotment, and the balance at four equal Intervals of forty days each In four Installments each of 20 per cent, of the bonds allotted. Delivery of bonds will be made In installments as payment for them Is received, and payment must in all cases be made in full as the bonds are taken. Tue 2 per cent, deposit will apply on the final Installment. • • • For the mutual convenience of the subscribers and the department a blank form of letter to accompany remittances has been prepared and It may be obtained at the offices of national and State banks generally, at the several subtreasuries of the United States, at any money order postoffice and at any express office. The bonds will be dated Aug. 1, 1808, and they will be delivered to subscribers free of expense for transportation as soon after that date as possible. The bonds will be accompanied by a check for the amount of interest due the subscriber from the date of his payment to Aug. 1, 1898. All remittances and other commiinicatlons relative to this loan should be addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, division of loans and currency, Washington, D. C. All subscriptions must be received at the Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., not later than 3 o’clock p. m., Wednesday, July 14, 1898. No subscriptions received after that date and hour will be considered. L. J. GAGE, Secretary.

Mrs. Gladstone does not realize her husband’s death, and continually speaks -of him as being in the next. room. Lord Wolseley, commamler-in>cbicf of the British army, has been offered the governor generalship of C'anada. An English traveler reports 1,000.001 acres of marvelously rich unimproved farm land in the Philippiuc Islands. A national organization is being formed in China to , preserve the empire aud to protect it from European aggression. Gov.

A FATALITY AVOIDED

From the Democrat, Goehen, Ind. When neuralgia is accompanied by a dull, heavy pain near the heart, frequently becoming intense, it generally terminates fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynn, who lives near Goshen, Ind., survived kAi an attack and her advice is “In the fall of ’92.” she said, “I began to have trouble with my heart. There was a sharp pain in my breast, which became rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled andput me under the influence of opiates. These sharp attacks followed one another at intervals and I became weak and had a haggard look. I was constantly in pain, seldom slept and had no appetite. “At the end of two years I was confined to my couch most of the time and the doctors agreed that my death was only a matter of a short time.

A Serious Time.

to try them. When I had finished one box I noticed an improvement in my condition, and when I had taken twelve boxes I was completely cured. ‘Those pills have done for you what we could not do,’ said one of my physicians; ‘they have saved your life.’ That was two years ago and my heart has not troubled me since. I believe I owe my life to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and I take pleasure in telling others about them.” Among the many forms of neuralgia are headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy and locomotor ataxia. Some of these were considered incurable until Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People were formulated. To-day thousands testify to having been cured of such diseases by these pills. Dootors frequently prescribe them and all druggists sell them.

ANTS ARE LIKE PEOPLE.

Nurse Their Fick and Take Care of the Young and Feeble. Sir John Lubbock delivered a lecture on “Ants” at the rooms of the Zoological society. The lecture was under the auspices of the Royal British Nurses’ Association, says the London Chronicle. Sir John described bls method of observation. He had made the ants which he kept for observation so comfortable that they lived as nearly as possible under their natural conditions. He found that their life was much longer than had been supposed. Ants watched over their young with skill and tenderness. A dispute between ants was never seen In the same nest. Yet they were brave In the defense of their own homes. They never turned on a weak or wounded companion. One of his ants came into the world a cripple, but was carefully tended and fed by others for months. All the ants In the community knew one another, but would not tolerate a stranger even of their own species in the nest. He had made fifty drunk, and incapables He then put twenty-five near the nest to Vvhich they belonged. They were carried back to the nest by their friends, where no doubt they slept off the effects of their involuntary debauch. The other twenty-five they took and threw into the moat that surrounded the ants’ park. There were many kinds of ants in the tropics. It was said that in America there was a species which gathered grain, then prepared the ground and sowed the grain for further use. This he could not accept without more definite proof.

THE ILLS OF WOMEN

And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps Overcome Them. Mrs. Mart Bo lunger, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, HL, to Mrs. Pinkham: “I have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, pains over my body, sick headaches, backache, nervousness and weakness. I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Compound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. I have now taken several more bottles of your ftmous medicine, and can say that I am entirely cured.” Mrs. Henry Dorr, NodlOG Findley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham: “For a long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do anything. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhoea. After doctoring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was doing. I decided immediately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and ■ using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like a new woman. I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to thank for my recovery, for which I am grateful. May heaven bless her for the good work she la doing for our sex.**

Among the curiosities of medical literature are the stories, many of them well authenticated, of the peculiar susceptibility of certain unfortunate individuals to certain odors and emanations. Among the substances which have been known to have produced attacks of spasmodic asthma are roses, musk, tea, Ipecacuanha, the odor of a cat, fried fish, the dust of oats, malt, rice, feathers, wool and that caused in the demolition of old houses. Dr. Eugene Deschamps has added asparagus to this long list. He has published a full clinical report of a victualler over 40 years of age who suffers from severe spasmodic attacks of coughing whenever bo attempts to prepare raw asparagus for the cook. —New York Herald.
