He crawled through the forest for several hours and succeeded in reaching the cabin. Throe weeks later his nearest neighbor having called, found Haltman in a dying condition. He faintly told of the accident, said "1 am nearly gone," and not long afterwards gavo up the ghost. All the available surface of floor and wall within his reach was written over in.charcoal.

A FASHIONAULK dressmaker tells the Cincinnati Enquirer that the chief trouble with women's forms is their irregularity. "The number whose two sides do not correspond is wonderful.

Women's dress, in this era of clinging garments, reveals every imperfection, a to at a a are often sufficient to produce symmetry, according to this expert, but stoop* ing is something the dressmaker's art cannot remedy. "It is a common defect in American girls," she says. "Round backs are distressingly numerous, and what can we do for them Nothing at all. I feel sometime* like putting them asoak, and then strapping them flat otf a board, papoose fashion, in the hope of straightening them. Parents ought to look sharp after their little girls iiv this particular, and put braces on them if necessary/'

WITH many of the settlers of the "Northwest the past winter has been a prolonged struggle for existence against the element*. A German fanner two years ago took up ISO acre# of land near Big Lake, Dakota, Last year he raised wheat on 60 acres, getting 25 bushels to the acre, and received $1 ,200 for it. Laying in what he considered an ample supply of fuel out of these proceeds, he set his house in order for the winter. Two other families decided to leave their own houses, and to lodge with him as a measure of mutual protection and comfort. Very soon the ample supply of fuel was consumed, and the three fuqilies had to bestir themselves to keep front rearing. They dug railroad lies and telegraph posts out of the deep «now and burned them. After this of supply had been exhausted, the two families that 11 quitted their own houses were eom-

A VICIOUS boy in a Boston school kicked the school marm the other day, and as corporal punishment OK the part of teachers is forbidden, she sent for the lad'a mother, who came, inquired into the farts ofthe case, took her son by the collar and sent him spinning down stairs. The school marm was about to rush down to pick up the pieces, but the fond parent stopped her, remarking that she herself was going to the bottom of the stairs to kick the boy out, "he had such an ugly temper." Speculation as to where he got his temper is unnecessary.

THOSB who wish to test the intellect of new caok or other suspected person, according to Dr. Delaunay, need only give her a plate to polish and notice in which direction she moves her hands. If she goes round it from left to right, as In winding up a watch, all is well but if 'she goes from right to left it is a sign of mental inferiority. I)r. Delaunay adds that the inferiority of the softer sex (as well as of male dunces) is shown by their drawing circles from right to left asylum patients and children do the same, but when the faculties are developed the person may come to reverse his method.

An anxious Washingtonian. scandalized by the awkwardness and eccentrici ties of callers at the White House, offers the following suggestions to visitors: "A Axil dress suit consists of a foil suit of black with evening dress coat, a low and well-opened vest, with a shirt the front of "which is open, containing a single stud composed of a stone about the size of a pea and surroundsdwith diamonds. The shoes are of the^ con-gress-gaiter style, with patent leather foxing and black silk uppers.

At a recent reception given by a lady in Washington the^ majority of senators present were in walking-suits and all wore white kid gloves. \Vhen a senator or representative calls at the White House to attend a reception he should be provided with* two cards, one to be given to the servant at the door and the other handed to tlye gentleman who introduces him to the president. It is very awkward for the master of ceremonies to lean forward and ask the name of a gentleman and then call him by some other name to the president*,

WK find in our exchanges the following very truthful remarks bearing upon a matter which Is attracting no little attention among Christian people:

In every church there are certain men who, by their long residences, efficiency, wealth, learning, or social position, have come to be recognized as leaders. They fill the important offices, or are as influential as though they did.

Such men can add very much to their power for good by courtesy to those less honored—to the obscure members of the church, especially to the young and to those who wero once in better circumstances than at present. A courteous nod, a warm shake of the band at the church door, in the street, or at any casual meeting, from such men, will build up a church in Christian unity and attract the people in it more than eloquent preaching where the leading spirits form a little aristocratic coterie.

The real cause of the decline of some important churches is that the official members are without genuine sympathy with the majority of the congregation. People begin to feel that they are not desired then they go elsewhere or remain at home.

A little thoughtfulness and brotherly kindness on the part of the men and women of position and leadership would prevent this. Think of it, ye who ftish the church to prosper ana let all practice it.

A MOTHER'S LOVE. Philadelphia Times. .1-

rMsr

The other day when Mrs. Walker, wife of a barber at the Continental Hotel. Philadelphia, returned from the funeral of her child, she found baby at the back door. Attached to the little one's clothing was a note beginning: "Dear Lady—Will you please take my baby and'keep it for your own?" After requesting that the lady will think that it is God who sent it to her to take the place of her own dead child, the writer explains that she saw in the newspapers the notice of the funeral which had taken place. The unknown mother wrote that she would rather bury her child than leave it as she had done, but her husband died eight months ago, leaving her with two children, quite young, and about to give birth to another, ana it was impossible for her to work with that one to take care of. The letter continued:

Take him and call him your own, for I dever will come for him or make any claim on him. His first name is Louis, but if you choose you can give him another. Don't think I am hard-hearted it almost kills me. I at some one to take him,

THE RUSSIAN PRIESTS WIFE. Jennie June. There is only one happy woman in Russia it is the priest's wife and it is a common mode of expression to say, "as happy as a priest's wife." The reason whv she is happy Is because her bosbaud's position depends upon her. If she dies he is deposed, and becomes a mere layman his property is taken away from him, and distributed, half to his childrertand half to the government. This dreadful contingency makes the Russian priest careful to get a healthy wife, if he can, and makes nim take extraordinary good care of her after he has got her. He waits upon her in the most abject way. She must never get her feet wet, and she is petted and put in hot blankets if she has so much as a cold in her head. It is the greatest possible good fortune for a girl to marry a priest, infinitely better than to be the wife of a noble.

Syracuse Courier.

-"A teporter-of the Courier chanced to meet a member of the craft who are deep in the ways that are dark and the tricks that ate vain. The "gentleman of the cloth" was in a communicative mood, and in an hour the scribe was fully informed in the peculiar praetices ofthe gentry of his ilk. The plans to defraued the susceptible are as varied as they are shrewd. Confidence operators are known as "grafters" ana "crooks, wbilg the appellations applied to their victiiil are "gillies," "gtiys," "chumps," "marks," and the inelegant title "suckers." Nearly every operator employes one "r more confederates, who are called "cappers." The "glove racket" as it is denominated, ia a clerver game, and one well calculated. to catch the gullible. A "grafter" strikes up an ac--qualniance with a stranger, and walks along the street with him. The "cap-

goes of the two and drops a id on walk. The operator picks it up, and to the astonishment of the stranger finds an elegant-looking ring in It. The "grafter" tells the ^sucker" that there will probably be a reward offered for the ring of 10 or 15 dollars. He is going away, and cannot wait for reward. Will the stranger give him 5 dollars for the ringT t)f course be will. Ten chances to one the victim resolves to keep the ring and never return it to the owner. The ring is made of silver and plated with gold, so it can be tested. It is a plain, usually with initials inside, and weighs 10 or 12 pennyweights. Perhaps the stranger will take the ring to a jeweler store or a

awnshop ana try to sell it. If he does will discover that he is duped. The posketboek dodge is generally highly profitable. The capper drops a jvell-fixed pocketbook ana the operator who is going along with his victim picks it up. The contents in reality are simply'slips of paper cut the right sise, with a few good bills on the top and bottom. One dollar bills with the "100" or"800" cut from revenue stamps and pasted neatly over thermal figures are used. The gillie will think there are 10,000 dollars in the pocketbook. The operator says, "I am Thompson's son of Buffalo and havie not time to Stop for thef reward. You give ine 1000 dollars and take the pocketbook. You will get 500 or 1,000 dollars." The gudgeon will bite at the tempting bait without hesitancy and will pay over the sum asked, thinking to himself* "I will keep( all the money and not try to find, the owner at all." He will at onoe leave V/V* uvl liV the operator to seek some secluded spot to count over the money. When he discovers the trick his only satisfaction is the thought that he has"had experience.

The operator in the match trick which is usually played at fairs and horse trots cries, "who will give me |2 apiece for these watches?" "Cappers" buy the matches and he inquires "are you satisfied?" They reply "yes" and gives them $8 apiece back for the matches. Ho then sells several matches and $3 apiece and buys them back at 94. By this time the "gillies" are interested and they buy at f5. "Are satisfied asks the operator. "Yes." "Well, so am I," and off he drives leaving the investors with nothing but matches for their money.

The ring dodge is old, but victims are eiasily found. The operator says to his victim "My mother Is dying and I have no money to go to her, will you buy this ring of me? ft cost 15 dollars. I will sell it for -f dollars." The ring bears some initials or date inside and the buyer thinks that this fact is an indication of genuineness. The ring is silver, plated with gold and costs 48 cents.

A firm that manufactures gambling apparatus sells a roll of what appears to be genuine bills amounting to 4,000 or 5,000 dollars. The operator goes to ft hotel and after registering counts the money in the presence of the clerk or ^rietor and putting it in an envelope asks that it shall be placed in the safe. the pawn ticket"

propr

While not new. the "pawn ticket" dodge is successful. The sharper has a number of pawn tickets printed. He fills these out, for instance, for a diamond ring valued at 250 dollars, upon which 40 dollars has been secured. The ring is to be redeemed in thirty days, operator tells the victim that he cannot obtain money to pay the advance, and rather than lose the ring he will sell the pawn ticket for 25 dollars. A dozen tickets may be sold before the fraud is detected. In some instances the' 'crook" actually puts up his watch and sells a number of counterfile tickets on it.

Pawnbrokers are sometimes defraudThe sharper shows the "uncle" a ring with a genuine stone in it, and asks him how much he will advance on it. The pawnbroker tests it and names the sum. The operator indignantly refuses and turns to go out. In turning he substitutes an imitation ring. Apparently back and reluctantly accepts the sum offered by the pawnbroker. The "tmcle" subs©-

changing his mind, he comes x....: ..... quently finds out that he has been defrauded.

Mechanical dodges are not infrequent. The "capper"' approached the operator who is walking along with victim and says, "Mister, will you oblige me with a chew of tobacco?* The operator has exhibited the box to the "gillie" and showed him that it is a trick box which could only be opened by thoeewho knew how it worked. He also explained the manner of opening it to the victim. The "capper" tries in vain to open it and the victim laughs. The "capper," as if exasperated, claims, "111 bet you 5 dollars von can't open it in 10 seconds." The victim accepts the bet and the money is put up. Tbe victim's laugh is turned to a look of despair what he presses upon the box and it does not open. He loses his money,and when thelO seconds are up the operator shows him that be did not press hard enough on the end.

A "grafter" shows his victim a trick knife. By pushing in a spring the blade cannot be opened. Tbe capper comes up and asks to take tbe kniffe to sharpen a pencil. He tugs at the blade and, after apparently breaking his nail, says. "No can open thia Knife." "My friend i," replies the operator. "Yes," assents the victim. "Ill bit you ten dollars von cant." The victim takes the bet*' In tbe meantime the capper has shoved the blade back into a slot, and the victim, after poshing the spring, is surprised to find that the Wade remains fast.

A top, octagonal in shape and numbered upon the flat sides can be made to stop at a high or low number by poshing tbe spindle up or down. It is loaded and it is usdesK for the gillie to bet against It. "Top and bottom" is great trick. When added together tbe reverse side? of a not

a dice make seven, although there is «jt one In a liiiousand who ts aware of this fact. As the sharper is milking to

or from the depot with his victim or going io a hotel, he Mys, "Come into this agar store and have a cigar with meJL In this instanegilhe owner of the stow mustfce in the deal. They take cigafs, and are&perator throws down a ten dollar bill. Just then the capper comes in, and buyinga agar, offers aten dollar bill in. payment. "Gentlemen,", says the cigar dealer. "I can't chani both bills." "I'll tell you what we dq,"jrematks tbe capper, "we'll guess at the tiumber on dice to see who sfialj for all the cigars." Then dice are shaken «p and covered with the box on the counter or case. "I guess fifty," says the capper. "Twenty-one" says tne operator. It is, of course, twenty-one. It could be no other number. "You are pretty good at guessing," remarks the capper. Excuse roe a moment. Ill be back in a very short time and we'll try again." While he is absent, the operator shows the victim that it must come twenty-one every time. Tbe capper, wbenne returns, is anxious to bet that he can guess the nearest, and puts up a sum as a wager, a dice with a five opposite the six, and loaded so as to turn upright, is substituted for one of the regular dice. The number is twenty-lour, and the victim knows he has been swin died. Another capper comes in at this juncture and pretending to be a detective, says, "Irs against the law to gamble, and unless you stop it and clear out at once. I'll arrest every one of you." The victim may be a country merchant, and nearly frightened out of his wits, he is glad to escape with the loss of his money.

A sharper enters a railroad car and, picking out his victim, tells him that he dedres to sell him a book. He has two books, and he says, "I will give you a chance to get one of these for nothing, and make a handsome sum beside. See, I will place this if dollar note idsfde this one." Suiting the action to his word, he does so, and turns over his books several times. The victim sees what appears to be the bill sticking out of one ofthe books. He takes that book and pays |5 for it. What he thought was the bill proves to be a ten cent shin plaster.

The latest "racket," to use the term of confidence men is bold and dangerous one. The sharper selects a victim whom he suspects.drinks. He has twQ bottles of brandy, one of which is dosed with morphine. The .victim drinks of the doctored brandy, and in a short time becomes insensible, when he is relieved of his money. This is outright robbery. It has been practiced on trains out of New York for the past three weeks.

COMMON SENSE IN1 DRESSING. Fashion writerstell us that the variety of dress fabrics offered by dealers this season is so extensive that every shade of taste and every size of pocket book a be suited. Never before, say these shopping guides, were there richer fabrics to choose from, the brocaded silks, satins and velvets, and the oriental mixtures being such as a princess of the East might choose from. .On the other hand, they tell us that never were such handsomo things shown in the line of cheaper goods, so that persons of Hmited means are shown scores of pretty and attractive things any one which, becomingly made up, would make the wearer feel that she was reallv well dressed. It would seem from all this that rapid strides for tbe better have been made in the fashion world, and that much folly hitherto indulged In can now be set aside. To dress well is a woman's duty, and et it seems to be an art that very many nave vet to learn. The fashion woman of unlimited means, with modistes at her elbow to makeandcarry out suggestions, is perfectly free, probably, to do as she likes, since if she so chooses she may have a different costume for every day in the week. But fortune does not give carte blanch# to all, nor would all use it if it did. Many ladies prominent in society do not care to devote too mnch time to the dress question, and they purchase with a view to durability as well as becomingness. Being free to carry out the principle that whiit Is best is cheapest in the long run, they can buy the very finest material, but are apt to select styles and colorings that, for a while at least, will hold out against the caprices of fashion. As for persons of limited means, economy in dressing is a duty as well as a proof of common sense. With them, the view in laying out money should be what it is in extensive transactions—to get the best returns for the investment. A cheap fabric, provided it be attractive and becoming, well made and neatly trimmed, with a "tasty" bonnet, well fitting gloves, and the other odds and ends that go to make up the costume of a well dressed woman, will make the wearer feel quite as independent as the best dressed woman she may meet. This really seems the common sense view of the ca$e, but many of the fair sex may hold different opinions. There are, no doubt, man poor, hard working girls, or many wives of poor bard working men, who, having set their hearts on a certain fabric, would buy it—and it only if it took a whole years' savings to get it. Such a policy is anything but wise, but if the pride of being so expensively dressed covers up the many little privations it costs them, let them "pay their money and take their choice." The days of our grandmothers, when a dress was chosen with a view to having it last "for a life time," are pant and gone. Fashion is more fickle now, and demands more changes, and the woman who meets it half way is tbe most sensible neither making "herself conspicuous by adopting everything that comes out, nor ridiculous by affecting to disregard its demands. To be well dreaseaat all times, even at a trifling cost, is better than to ut all you can get in one costume and obliged to wear it threadbare. But this is an endless theme* lor common sense in dressing would do away with a multitude of sins. It would make plainer street costumes and less tatters at home it would induce thoughtfulness for all the members of tbe household, not giving to one at the expense of the rest it would lead to honest principles too, for the smallest grain of common sense would teach one to respect a woman in calico whose dress is paid for, rather than one in tbe richest brocade whose drv goods account and dress maker's UQs ire unsettled.

Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8.

TherecenUnd death by that terrible complaint, Bright1* dbcASe

ofthe

kidneys, is a striking instance ofthe alarming Increase of kidney and liver difficulties in this country, and biings the subjectso prominently before the community as to make it one of pre-em inent importance. The interest which ac vital a topic has awakened, both in the East and in the West, the talk At has occasioned, arid the attention it is attracting from the beet scientific and medical skill which the land aflbrds, have prompted the making of tome investigations.

The prevalence of kidney difficulties being a factwhieb needs no investigation, the important and valuable truths must be those which shall show how the increase of these diseases can be stopped, or, being in existence how they can be cured. In a recent lecture by Dr. Charles Craig, delivered before the Metropolitan Scientific Association, and which has been published quite exteasively, he m&k68 special mention* and in a most emphatic manner, of a certain Bpociflc recently discovered, which Is an absolute cure for Brighfs disease, as well as all minor kidney and liver troubles.

To test the validity of the statements made by Dr, Craig, a collection of such data as could be found was made, and, after numer ous inquiries and investigations, the following foots were secured:

A call was made at the extensive store of C. Jevne, Nos. 110 and 112 Madison street. Mr. Jevne Introduced the investigator to Mr. Frank A. Cleland, a gentleman in his employ, whose father, Mr. Samuel Cleland, was known to have been very low with kidney disease. Mr. Cleland said: "My father was treated by a host of doctors, and triedany quantity of medicines, but he got So bad that not only he, but all his friends had given np hopes of his recovery. He was finally recommended to try Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and all-I can say is/thaMie Is today as well a man as there is in Chicago. We do not, any of us, know anything about the remedy, but it did a wonderful thing in curing my father, and if ne was in the city now he would tell you so better than 1 can, for he is an old journalist and knows how to talk to hewspaper men."

At the first window in the West Division Postottice, corner of Halstead and Washing* ton streets, Mr. A. Q.. Brown, tl\o head of that division, was found. Upon being questioned, Mr. Brown said: "Well,sir, my wife was in a terrible condition for more-than five years. Bhe seemed to have a complication of diseases, culminating in Brighrs dl-sease, and she had been doctored all the way from San Francisco to Chicago. 1 have frequently seen her fall upon the floor insensible, and I never expected she would get up again. I never went home but I was prepared to find her laid out dead. She tried everything we could think of, and the doctors were all very kind. At last she began tuning Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and the effect was very marked at once. She regained her strength and spirits, has been able to attend to all her duties, and the terrible sinking spells she formerly had have never returned. I consider it a most marvelous cure, and I Cannot speak of the remedy too highly. Upon my recommendation my father-in-law, Mr.Latlirop, who was also terribly afflicted with kidney trouble, began using the same remedy nnd was not only entirely cured, but also relieved of a most painful stricture. I would also state that one of our lettef carriers who took Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure upon my recommendationlias found it benenclal,and has been enabled to return to his pr. T. T. Oliver, who was conversant with Mrs. Brown's case, was called upon at his resnee, No. 8805 Cottage Grove avenue. His in countenance a ndlong, snowy beard touted an intelligent and wen-informed man. When asked concerning the caso of Mrs. Brown he said that shejhad been in a most precarious condition. Her heart and lungs were badly affected, owing to the dlBeascd condition of her kidneys and liver, and the liability to sudden death had been immi-

Gibson, who has been connected with the theater for a number of years. Mr. Gibeon stated that he had been afflicted by a terrible kidney difficulty, which threatened to become Blight's disease, and gave him Uie mart Intense pains.

H. Saunders, residing at 421 West Ohio street, stated that both she and her mother bad tried nearly every remedy for the peculiar troubles to which they had been subjected, but without relief until they secured Warmer's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This remedy bad done for them what both doo-

torw

and medicine* had failed to do—it had cured them. .. ,, The reporter then called on Mr. W. H. Flaax. No. 1005 West I-eke street. Mr. Flan hasradded In Chicago since the cKyw»Jtt Its infancy, but the fad that he was thoroughly acclimated did not prevent him from ha&rig serious kidney and liver disorder.
