Tho Javanese at the World’s Fair. The people are small in stature, of a , yellowish-brown color, and the women nave abundance of long, glossy black hair, which they twist up into rather graceful knots, without either hairpins or combs to hold it in place. To no sure, the hair sometimes slips down, but they calmly and deftly put it up again. Both men and women wear long pieces of colored calico wrapped around their hips, lapped over and pinned in front, forming a skirt, frequently of light blue. When working in the sun they wear large straw hats like those of the Japanese. Most of the Javanese were barefooted, but same wore American shoes and white stock- ; ings. A boy and a girl two or three । years old, the smallest children I ever ' saw walking, sat flat on the floor by a little table less than a foot high, and I peaceably fed themselves with what looked like bread and milk. The moth- । er took the smaller child on her hip. i When sho dropped her handkerchief : it was amusing to see her pick it up ' with her toes and raise it to her hand ■with a motion much like that with I which our own countrywomen pick up their trains. The women are verypret- { ty when young, in spite of high cheek- ' bones and broad faces, having soft eyes, white teeth, clear, smooth com- ■ plexions, and a sweet, gentle expression. They sit or lie on the floor like “ children. —Harper's Bazar. I jV Remedy of (General Utility. It is among the fol I h's of which the manti- I facturers of many proprietary remedies are guilty, to term their medicines "panaceas." or ■ to claim for them the quality of panaceas. : There is no such thing as a "panacea." which ; means a remedy adapted to all diseases. This s absurdity has never been perpetrated by the ! proprietors of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. | But they do claim, and with justice, that it is * a, remedy of general utility, and this because , it restores that regular and vigorous condition ; of the stomach, liver and bowels which conduce । to the recovery of general health. Titus it fortifies the system against malaria by infusing stamina, and causing harmonious action of ; the organs which, as long as they go rig- ' ire the best guaranty against an endemic mai idy , like chills and fever. It accomplishes a double purpose by stimulating activit y of the kidneys, since it not only prevents their disease and decay, but expels from the blood through them Impurities that cause rheumatism, gout and . dropsy. Use it with confidence. — M. Sarcey’s Conversion. Vegetarianism has made a distinguished convert in M. Francisque Sarcey, the great French dramatic critic. He has written a letter to a Paris paper describing his experiences, in which he says that he is only a “moderate” vegetarian—that is, ne eschews only meat and admits eggs, butter and cheese, milk and fish to his regimen. He finds that he is in much more vigorous health and in better working condition than before. The first week, he says, is rather hard to bear, but the benefit is soon felt thereafter. “Don't Tobacco Spit Your Life Away” Is the startling, truthful title of a little book just received, telling all about Notobac, the. wonderful, harmless, economical, guaranteed cure for the tobacco habit in every form.

SALT-RHEUM; FLESH CRACKED OPEN AND BLED! Miss Lottie Clark, River Falls, Pierce County, Wisconsin, writes: •• It gives me pleasure to express my faith In the virtue of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Having Buffered lor three years from salt-rheum, and after having been unsuccessfully treated by a good physician, I began the use of ftho ‘Discovery.’ The humor was in my hands. I was obliged to keep a covering on them for months at a time, changing the gzJ covering morning and night. The ®/. stinging, burning and itching sensation would be so intense that at times it seemed as if I would go crazy. z When 1 bent the fingers, the flesh Miss Clark. would crack open and bleed. It ib impossible for me to describe the intense pain and suffering which I endured night and day. After taking six bottles of the “ Discovery ” 1 was entirely cured.

BANDITS BEATEN OFF. I ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF AN EXPRESS TRAIN. New Orleans Limited Stopped Near Centralia, lll.—Engineer, Fireman and Conductor Shot and One Robber Wounded— No Money Secured. Robbers Are Captured. The New Orleans limited train on ' the Illinois Central Road was held up ■ shortly after 11 o'clock the other evening just outside Centralia, 111., and in the battle which followed between the । three robbers and the train hands one of the robbers was wounded and three of the train crew were badly hurt. Tho i thieves got nothing in the way of booty. ! There were seven well-filled coaches on the train and a combined baggage and express car. When the train pulled j out from the platform tho robbers climbed upon the blind baggage and. thence to the top cf the express ' car and remained there until the train 1 reached the ccal shaft, three-quarters iof a mile south of the station. At thia point one of the robbers leaped upon the tender and began firing at Ben I Young, the engineer. Young mistook i tho shooting nt first for a torpedo alarm f and reversed liis engine, tho ' shot, however, struck him in the back and seriously cripple I him. The rob- i ; bers then turned their attention to I Fireman Charles McDowelF and wounded him slightly in tho chin with the next shot, and the two I men closed. In the scuffle which en- । sued the fireman struck the robber on i the head with a monkey-wrench and . knocked him from tho train. The ! robber fled south toward the coal mine, ■ and was headed off there by tho night watchman and forced to return. He j fell exhausted to the ground before he ; reached the train and was taken in charge by tho crowd and hurried off to the city jail. He gave his name as William Jonos, of Kansas City. I The train was backed up to the stai tion, a new crew put in charge, and j sent on its destination. Tho whole city was aroused this time by the ringing j of fire-bells, and Jones, the captured i bandit, was threatened with lynching J unless he made a full confession. Jones I made a full confession. Ho s lid his accomplices were O’Dwyer. Harding, and Nichols. He also Impli- ' cated a man by the name of Marion, ; from DuQuoin, who, he claimed, was i not with tho gang at tho time of the robbery. All four men are under arI rest, three at Centralia and one at ' Odin. RAIN CAME TOO LATE. Extensive Areas West of tho Mississippi Still Suffering. The weekly crop rep >rt of the i Weather Bureau says that, ewcept In i the northwestern border States, but I little rain fell during the week to the j west of tho Mississippi, and, as during ’ the previous week, there are extensive i areas over which there has been no rain whatever. In the Ohio valley and Atlantic coast States the rains have greatly improved pastures, and have out in errwid condition for fall plowing, which is prvgrv»»iug rapidly in th«» Staton ntinwd, fivll Hooil- ; ing being about completed in Now Jeri eey and .New York. In Northern Wisconsin, Missouri, Arkansas, and Nebraska but little fall plowing ha< yet i been done, owing to the dry and baked ■ condition of the ground, and seeding is delayed in consequence.

THE FATAL FOLDER. It Ought to Be Guarded and It Can Be So as to Prevent Serious Accidents. It is time that a curb was put upon the folding bed, and an effectual check placed upon its homicidal propensities. That ingenious device for making bedroom and parlor intro-convertible has come to stay, but it is dangerous and ought to be muzzled. It has its analogue in the upper berth of a Pullman sleeper, which used to be held down only by its own weight and that of the occupant added. This proving insecure by the fact that one berth closed up unsolicited and smothered a passenger, all upper berths are now securely fastened down by a steel cable. The car may bo overturned, but the upper berth will not close unless the cable b eaks. Strange it is that, this hint has never been generally utilized to insure the safety of tho folding bed. Every little while the feelings of tender-hearted people are lacerated by reading or hearing of a helplesi baba finding a premature grave by the unlooked for closing of a folding bad. Occasionally adults are caught in its wooden jaws and carried ceilingward in a posture which may be described as vice versa. Last week a good housewife in New York City, while examinimr one of her folding beds closely with the aid of a lighted lamp, and withj, laudable purpose into Ite innermost t-eoosses, mnnnimil to disturb the equilibrium of this machine, when, presto, it closes, and woman, lamp, benzine and bugs were t burned up together. There is no need of this. The folding bed can be robbed of all its terrors ;by tho simple im etss of securely : fastening it open when it is not desired ! to close it up. No nicely adjusted ■ i weights or springs that operate with a ; touch, even though the touch is inadvertent, will answer. If folding bed manufacture!s were as responsible as ! sleeping car companies, one case of ; smothering w. uld have resulted in the | adoption of a device which would have I prevented effectually any second catas- : trophy closing of this useful economizer of household space.—Philadel- ; phia Press. How She Reduced Her Weight. A young English girl afflicted with an undesirable amount of adipose tissue has succeeded in ridding herself of a large amount of it without injuring j her health by following tho regimen given below. She began by getting I up nt 6 o'clock every morning and taking a three-mile walk before breakfast without considering the weather. ' At 9 o'clock sho had a large cup of : coffee, with very litt'o sugar, and a > slice of dry bread. Then she occupied I herself as she liked until 2 o'clock, I when mon* bread and some vegetables ' composed her meal. At 4:20 she was ! off for another long walk, followed by | a cup of tea and a few dry bi cuits. । Ninety days of this regimen reduced ; her weight from l s s to 145 pounds. — I New York Sun.

However, this coin was not gold, but silver. The compartment excepted was the first one to tho left on the doorway. It alone contained the entire stock of gold now held in the Treasury at Washington—a total of 5J.0,500,000. The small show made by ! it was surprising. Instead of being choke full like the compartments containing silver this one seemed almost empty. Even the floor was not covered with the bags of yellow coin, which wei c stacked in small heaps around the walls as if to make some sort of show. Yet value in this form is so highly concentrated as to give occa-uon for all the precautions above described, while a few feet away from this vault is an enormous box of iron lattice work exposed to the view of the public all day, though within, it is stored $101,000,10) in standard silver dollars.

An Excellent Educator. A daily governess who, a few years ago, had five or six children under her charge, was accustomed on Fridays, as a special exercise, to request them to close their eyes, turn around once, open their eyes and quickly close them again, describing at once the particular objects which met their gaze. A ‘ prize was given to the one who noted | the greatest number of objects in the • brief period allotted to vision. The : result was an astonishing increase upon I the part of the pupils in the ability to observe, and the exercise was much I enjoyed by the participants, besides I being of incalculable benefit as an edu- ■ tor. TH** »a.mno iclon. Haz* on lately car- 1 ried out by another instructor in a littie different foj-m. The pupils were seated before a revolving blackboard. One side of the board was blank, upon the other were numbers of various denominations. The blank side was turned to the class until operations were ready to begin. Then the board was set revolving, and it is said that the rapidity with which additions, multiplications, subtractions, etc., were j made as the board spun around, is | something incredible. By such simple I but ingenious methods as this are our . children best educated, for by them i they are taught to observe that which j goes on around them and to think rapidly for themselves. How Sea Birds Quench Their Thirst. Tho question is often asked: “Where do sea birds obtain fresh water to slake their thirst?” But we have never seen it satisfactorily answered until a few days ago. An old skipper with whom we were conversing on the subject said that he had seen these birds at sea, far from any land, that could furnish them water, hovering around and under a storm cloud, clattering like ducks on a hot day at a pond, and drinking in the drops of rain as they fell. T?ey will smell a rain squall a hundred miles or even further off, and scud for it with almost inconceivable swiftness. How long sea birds can exist without water is only a matter of conjecture, but probably their powers of enduring thirst are increased by habit, and possibly they go without water for many days, if not for several weeks.—Golden Days. He Did Not Want the Earth. A demure-looking little man ap-‘ proached the haughty clerk in a gro- < > y store and meekly asked if he had any coffee to soil. “Cert,” said the young man. “We have ground coffee." “No other kind?” "Nope. This is the best ground coffee on t he market. ” “But I don't want it,” and the little 1 --r “I crot some sugar here the other day with sand in it, anu i don't want coffee with ground in it. You must think I want the earth.” A Horrible Punishment. The Chinese punish atrocious crimes by inclosing the criminal in an iron cage, his head passing through an opening at tho top at such a height that his knees are bent and he can neither stand nor sit.
