HOW THEY D > IX THE IIONEY--1 MOON. * Washington Capitol Guide Sees Some Soft Things. Few men see more of the amusing side o f human nature than the guides in the Capitol, writes a correspondent from Washington. The “King of the Guides ” js Howard Kennedy, a handsome man with a genial manner and a remarkable flow of language that makes his duty geem to be a pleasure rather than a labor. Probably no man in this country has a wider circle of influential acquaintances, an d there is probably no man more degerving of confidence. “One of the funniest things that ever ■ came into my experience as a guide,” he said, “was last winter, when 1 was conducting a bridal couple from Missouri through the Senate wing of the Capitol. The lad and his lass were clasping hands all the time, and were the observed of all observers. I coild see the fellows around me winking mill blinking and pointing at them, but they seemed utterly oblivious of all the worll except themselves, yet they gave great attention and asked me many questions, showing an interest in all about them. While we were standing opposite the Senate gallery and I was explaining to them the merit's and beauties of the celebrated painting, ‘The Capture of Chapultepec.’ I stood between them, and, to my great surprise, felt the hand of the pretty bride clasping my own. She squeezed my hand, and I returned the pressure for two or three' minutes, when she suddenly discovered her mistake and 'dropped my hand as though it were a red-hot poker. I merely smiled and said nothing, but she kept 'her eyes averted from mine thereafter until I left them at the front door of the rotunda of the Capitol.” In response to an inquiry as to the income, Mr. Kennedy said: “We never charge more than fifty cents for conducting a party through the main floor of the Capitol building. That is, from the Senate floor to the Supreme Court room and through the rotunda, explaining the pictures, then into Statuary Hall, exhibiting the wonderful ‘echo’ stones,’ and upon the floor of the House. The visitors who are well-to-do usually hand us a dollar or two dollars, and occasionally we are given a five dollar note. But the trouble is there are too many guides in the Capitol building to make the profession lucrative, as it ought to be. There ore twelve in all, each eking out a mere subsistence, when there ought to be not more than six or eight; and then each would do very well indeed. As it is now, we have made an amicable arrangement, and six of our number occupy the rotunda one day, while the other six are in the Senate and House wings of the Capitol waiting for visitors who may need our services. To-day I am located in the Senate wing; to-morrow I will be in the rotunda; the following day I will be located in the House wing of the Capitol and must pick up what work I can. The rotunda is the best place for our business because all strangers who visit the Capitol seek the rotunda first. “By the way,” he exclaimed, “I was in the rotunda only yesterday, when a bridal couple entered the i reat East door* ad it was my turn to seek their custom and serve them. I conducted them through the building, and when I took them into the President’s room, opposite the Senate lobby. I explained the beauties and use of the room and stepped'butside, but they did not immediately follow. Standing' there^iwaiting their pleasure I heard a resounding smack and a giggle, and then a manly voice saying: “ ‘That’s all right, Maria; you can now say that you have been kissed in the President’s room.’ “The gentlem m was a thoroughbred, for he required me to show him the basement and the crypt and the dome, and after having spent nearly three hours with him he gave me a $5 bill and said that he wanted no change, and if that was not enough he would give me more. “Every guide is an educated man. There is Ben Cady, who has recently invented a milk can which can be left at the front door with a lock upon the can which no one but the milkman can open. Jie will make a fortune out of that some day. Then there aye Brown, and Miushine, and Asa Barker, and Dr. Bauks^ and Bob Mitchell, and Beaufort Lee, a colored man, and John Witel, an Englishman, and Dr. Campbell, and Tom Randolph, and Frank Ishim, all of whom are very competent men, and who could make a good living in any bus.ness. ” How Bessie Saved Her Uncle. We do not remember to have heard a more touching tale than the following, which has the additional merit of being strictly true: More then six years ago a seaman named Frank Moore deserted from the Belgian steamer Rhynland, in Philadelphia, and that is a criminal offense in most countries. He escaped detection for a long time, until a few months ago he ventured into Belgium, and was recognized by a former shipmate. He was arrested, tried and ronvicted, and thrown into prison at Antwerp to serve his term of imprisonment One day there arrived for King Leopold a letter, and it read so strangely that the king’s private secretary laid it at once before his majesty. It was from Bessie Keim, a niece of the prisoner, living in Philadelphia, and pleaded for the release of her uncle. Bessie had never written to a king bofore, and her letter was not couched in diplomatic language. She told her story childishly, but very pathetically, saying how, six years ago, her aunt was dying, and that her only prayer was that she might live to see her brother Frank. The letter which the uncle received was shown to the captain of the steamer, who was asked to give the seaman permission to go and see his sister. This the captain refused, and then the uncle deserted. Little Bessie, after reciting the circumstances, gravely asked: “Your majesty, if you had been in his place would not you have done the same?” and concluding, “Hoping you will pardon Uncle Frank for deserting and me for writing." It would have been strange if King Leopold had not been affected by this touching appeal. In a short time Bessie received a letter from a high government official informing her that her uncle had been released, “out of compliment to his majesty’s little friend.” A Check on the Cabbies. A problem that has puzzled inventors over here has just been solved in Paris. Seven cabs h ive this week been furnished with seven different and rival methods of ascertaining the length of ten different fares. The system will be ou probation for a month, and at the end of that time one will be selected for universal adoption. They vary very little in design; what has to be ascertained being which system will work the gieatest accuracy ; a od at the lowest cost. As you enter the Haicle a dial faces you which registers your liabilities. The very act of enter- । ’2g sets' fiee' an electric current and a dial announces that you already owe half । a franc for taking the cab. Then when you start on your journey the dial shows overy kilometer you go. with a charge of

cents fore tch. The rotations of the wheel supply the means for ascertaining the distance, which is, of course, the same whether the speed is great or little. At any moment the hirer can tell exactly how many miles he has gone and bis exact fare, and the cabman, who is thus paid by mileage, with a fixed entrance, । finds his own interest in driving fast and getting as many jobs as possible.—Pall Mall Gazette. Rare Specimens of Onyx. Some rare specimens of Mexican onyx and mosaic agate from Southern Mexico may be seen in one of the Coleman House parlors. They are the property of William Cooper, a gentleman who has trav- . ersed almost the entire globe. He has a passion for exploring, and he found this beautiful collection in the volcano of bempoaltepetl, in the extreme southern p rt of Msxico, 180 miles south from the nearest station on the Mexican Railroad. Mexican onyx is a form of stalagmite, and its colors are termed from oxides of metals in the earth, over the caves through which calcareous water passes Gold is represented by purple, silver by yellow, iron by red, copper by green, and arsenic and zinc by white. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have almost destroyed the caves in which onyx exists, and the native Indians who mine it have to cut through masses of ruins. Blocks of the material are quarried in a primitive wav. in order not to snatter the substance. Deep round holes are drilled by hand on a line. In each holo is inserted a snug-fitting piece of wood, which has been grooved from end to end. Hot water is poured into the grooves at night. This swells the wood, and the block is split along the line without damage. The natives then saw the block into slabs and polish the surface by hand. E ch piece is transparent, and when placed between the eye and a strong light presents a remarkably beautiful effect in form and color.— New York Times. Six Millions Forgotten. At the deathbed of William B. Astor, father of John Jacob, after everything pertaining to the enormous personal estate was supposed to be arranged, the dying man suddenly said: John, what did we do with that six millions of registered United States 4’s?" “We have forgetten them, father,” replied the son. What would we better do with them, John?" ‘ I think, father, they’d better be given to the girls”—his sisters. “That’s a good idea, John. Hurry a man to Washington specially, and have them transferred before I die.” That was done, and the incident is a suggestive pointer as to the vastness of the property held and to be disposed of. —New York Press. — Is Paducah a Standard. We overheard a certain saleswoman remark, a few days ago, that “lies did not count in business. ” She said th re were at least a dozen untruths attached to every article she sold. This is undoubtedly the truth, but it is a bad state of affairs. The fact that any man or woman could be hired for a salary to sell goods by telling falsehoods, shows to what a depth I man will decend for the almighty dollar. This is an age when the smoothest liar is the most successful man, socially, politically and in business. There is the “polite fib,” the “business story,” and the “cimprign lie." We wonder what George J Washington would say if he could come | back and see how lightly the truth, the | whole truth, aud nothing but the truth, is regarded.— Paducah (Ky.) Exponent. Light Costume, hut Heavy Load. Baldpate had just sent a note to a variety actress at her residence by a messenger boy, who unaccountably returned before Baldpate died of old age. The boy had been told to give the note to j no one but the person it was intended 1 for. “Are you sure it was Miss you gave the note to?" he asked. “Yes, sir.” “Well, then, tell me how she looked— ; what did she have on?” “She had a jag on.” “That’s her—here’s half a dollar for you.”— New York Herald. The new Brazilian marriage law makes civil marriage obligatory. A marriage not made before civil powers is null and void. , The parties have to pay to the judge $1 | and to the clerk 50 cents if the marriage i is performed at his office, and double that I if in a private house, besides the cost of j carriage or traveling expenses. H latives ; of the first and second deg ees girls un- ! der fourteen and bojs under' sixteen are ! prohibited from marrying. Widows may not marry until ten months after the de- । cease of their bust ands. Civil marriages may be preceded or followed by religious services. The Gundlach Optical Works, of Rochester, N. Y., have completed an eye-piece , for the great Lick telescope. It is com- ; posed of two lenses six and one-half and j three inches in diameter, respectively. I No other eye-piece of anything Lke equal dimensions has ever been made. The largest now in use is not over two inches in diameter. The light from heavenly bodies seen through the Lick telescope and this eye-piece will be 20,000 times as bright as that seen with the naked eye. Chapes John Gay, an English cartman, after a good record of fourteen years, has just been sent to prison for a ' month for stealing two oranges, worth one penny, from some goods he was carting for a large firm of jammakers. The court solemnly announced that the gravity of the offense did not lie in the value of the goods, but in the breach of trust toward an employer. Bishop Mackenzie, of Zululand, who died on February 9 of enteric fever, gave instructions previous to his demise that his corpse should be buried in Zulu fashion. Accordingly no coffin was used, but the body was tied up in a blanket in a ' kneeling position and was thus placed in a hole. “To display a diamond properly,” says a prominent American jeweler, “it must be worn alone. Few people seem to understand this. If a solitaire is pure, it is obvious that if worn next to a ruby it will reflect the hue of the latter, and thus its value will be obscured." Harris cloth, made on the islands off the coast of Scotland, was first introduced j to Londoners from motives of benevolence by persons interested in its povertystricken representatives, but it is now the leading cloth of the season for tailor-made dresses. The Mayor of New Orleans recommends that gambling should be licensed in that city and made to contribute to the finances of the city or to the charitable institutions.

ADIEU. BY EVELYN NOBLE. We was both wind you call train butchers, ’cause we butchered folks patience, I s’posc Well, yes, we was pretty young fer the place and I ain’t but 16 now an’ that was two years ago; izut we was mighty plucky little chaps, ' tell you. He was a Frenchman, aIL fire an’ go, an’ I guess I got there on clear Yankee grit. When I first knew him we was both newsboys; used to come down to the trains, you know, to sell our papers. I liked him ’fore I knew him, ’cause he was such a pretty little fellow; reg’lar French—black eyes an’ black hair, an all-round beauty. One day I spoke to ’im and says: “ How’s biz to-day ?” an’ asked ’m what wus his name, an’ he said “Pierre”—that’s French for Peter —an’ I said my name was Tom, an’ that’s all the introduction newsboys needed. It didn’t take us long to gc>t acquainted, an’ we got to be jolly good friends. One day Pierre says: “I’m sick o’ bein a newsboy; let’s got into bigger business,” so I says: “Let’s get on th trains,” so we tried. It took quite a while to get in, but we struck a piece of luck, an’ both got a place on the D., Y. <Xj T. ’Cour.-e we couldn’t see each other much any more, only just as the trains met once a day: then we’d both be on the rear platform, last car, an just shout out “Bonjours!” “Adieu I” He’d taught me them words an’ a lot more, an’ spent aheap o’ time gettin’ me to say em right; it was awful hard at first, but after a while he told me 1 said ’em first rate. You know what bonjours means, but I bet you can’t say it line I can. Adieu’s harder yet, but it ■neans a heap more. Pierre said it was \ Dieu—to God. D’ye see? I d rather not tell the rest ’bout, Pierre, but I s’pose I might as well go now I’ve got commenced. \\ ell, ye see, one day the trains didn’t meet at the regular piace. It made me feel kind o’ skeery and-at the station I i got onto the engine an’ kep' my eye on the track ahead. We hadn’t gone many miles ’fore we came to just what I expected. There was the engine of his train upside down in a ditch, an’ the cars spread all around, folk groanin’ an’ I screamin’. Ugh! I never saw such a sight before, nor heard such sounds, an’ 1 don’t know as I want to again. It was quite a while ’fore I found । Pierre. 1 knew better’n to listen fer j his voice. I knew if he was most dead . he'd just shut his teeth bard an’ never I make a noise. 1 Irated to look for ’im, but I says, “Pluek up, old boy, it's your business to find Pierre, dead or alive.” Pretty soon I saw a hand sticking out from a broken pile of wood, an’ I knew that hand. His hands wasn’t never rough an’ dirty like the other boys. You see he was ent out for a | gentleman. All I could see of him was that one hand an’ his sweet face. He was under a heap of wood an’ glass an' couldn’t move nor speak, but 1 could tell by his face that he knew me. I went to work to get him out, an’ when I I got the stuff off from him I saw he | was nil bruised and cut, but I made believe ’twasn’t much an’ talked jolly t<» him all the while. I couldn't move ’im; he had to lie right there till the train came to take us back to the citv. An'then I got the brakeman an’ we managed to get him into a car. It hurt him awfully, 1 knew, but he knew me all the time; I could tell that by his ' face. V» hen we got there we had him took to the hospital. It seemed so nice an’ still in there, an’ the sisters were so kind an’ careful. 1 thought when I saw Pierre put into a nice bed ’twas a regular heaven for him. But he didn’t know nothin’ 'bout it. He had an awful fever, they say. He was talkin’ jest as fast ’s he could, but no sense to anything he said. The doctors came and looked him over, an’ they looked pretty solemn, an’ one of ’em said he wouldn’t live but a few hours, an’ he put his hand on Pierre’s head an’ says: “Poor fellow! it’s too bad, such a pretty little chap!” I tell you I’ll never forget that doctor for that. They gave him something to stop the fever, an’ said he must be kep quiet, but they let me stay, after I begged ’em to an’ promised to be still. He got quiet after a while, an’ the sisters went away an’ I put my head on the pillow by him, an’ I think we both slep a couple of hours or so; then I woke up an’ sat there watchin’ him for a white. He knew I was there in his sleep, I guess, ’cause he opened his eyes an’ says: “I thought you was by me, Tom. I'm glad. Tell ’em I won’t be back no more; an’, Tom, you an’ me can’t be pards no longer. Be good to yourself—don’t forget your old pard. Tom—Adieu.” I just says, “Adieu. Pierre.” He never spoke another word, an’ just shut his eyes an’ went away—to God. It’s kind o’ nice when I get to flunkin’ it over, to think that was the last word I said to him —that adieu that he had learned me, an’ that I am livin’ all the time with that adieu o’ hisn as a kind of blessin’ on me. That’s all there is ’bout Pierre. An' me l ? Well, there ain’t much of me ’thout him. — Detroit Free Press. A Mean Husband.

The Blessing of Strong Nerve* 1b recoverable, not by the use of mineral sedatiwß. but by a recourse to effectual tonic treatment. Opiates and the like should only be used, as auxiliaries, and then as sparingly as possible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones, aud the most direct way to render them so is to reenforce the vital energies. That sterling invigorant, Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters, will be found all-sufficient for this purpose, since it entirely ' removes impediments to thorough digestion and assimilation of the food, so that the body is insured its due amount of nourishment, and consequently of stamina. Rheumatic tendencies and affections of the kidneys and bladder are also counteracted by the Bitters, which is besides a pleasant medicinal stimulant, infinitely purer than the raw excitants of commerce, which react injuriously upon the nervous system. The will of Madhub Roy, a wealthy Indian gentleman, has been upset in the Calcutta courts because, having lost the use of his hands, he requested a friend to sign it for him in his presence, and the friend, being unable to write, used a mark.

You Need It Now

To Impart tstrergth and giro a feeling of ) ealth and vigor throughout the H.vstem. there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It seems peculiarly adapted to overcome that tired feeling caused by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains tho system it purities and renovates the blood. We earnestly urge tho large army of clerks, book-keepers, teachers, housewives, operatives aud others who have been closely confined during the winter, and who need a good spring medicine, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla "I suffered a great while with dyspepsia. A friend urged mo to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and two bottles have entirely cured me of dyspepsia and a scrofulous affection. I can hardly find words to express my high appreciation of it." Allen H. Melhom, City Hotel, Lancaster, Pa. “Hood’s Sarsaparilla cured me of blood poison, gave me a noble appetite, overcame headache and dizziness, so that now I am able to work again."

At no other season does the human system bo much need the aid of a reliable medicine like Hood’s Sarsaparilla as now. The impoverished condition of the blood, the weakening etLcts of the long, cold winter, the lost appetite, and that tired feeling, all make n good spring medicine absolutely necessary. Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted for thia purpose, and increases in popularity every year. Give It a trial. ■Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the cheapest medicine I can buy.” F. R. Riedel, Belleville, 111. Hood’s Sarsaparilla "Every spring for years I have made It a practice to take from three to five bottles of Hood’s Sar saparilla, because I know it purifies the blood and 1 thoroughly cleanses the system of all impurities.
