En - quire of Home Telephone and Telegraph Co A free bottle of Sr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup will be sent to any reader of thia paper who will write to the Thacher Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tana, Dominion Steamship Co AN OFFER DECLINED: Attraapt of the Twh4 BUaar ta Strife at, ike Cut! lafeS, A lawyer friend one day Intimated to Nast that In appreciation of his great work a party of rich men wished to send him abroad end give him a chance to a tody art under the world's masters. The Mend was probably In nocent enough, an unconscious tool of the ring. Nast said very little except that he appreciated the offer and would be de lighted to go but for the fact that he had Important business just then in New York. He fancied that he detect ed the far, faint odor of a mouse under the idea, but he did not mention this to his friend. On the following Sunday an officer of the Broadway bank where the ring kept its accounts came out to M orristown to see Nast He talked of a number of things. Then he said : "I hear you have been made an otter to go abroad for art study." "Yea," nodded Nast, "but I can't go. I haven't time." "But they will pay you for your time. I have reason to believe you could get $100,000 for the trip." Nast pondered a moment, then: "Don't you think I can get $200,000?" "I do. I believe from what I have heard in the bank that you could get It You have a great talent, but you need study and you need rest. Besides, this ring business will get you Into trouble. They own- all the Judges snd Jurors and can get you locked up for libel. My advice is to take the money snd get away." Nast looked out into the street and perhaps wondered what $200,000 would do for him. It would pay the mort gage on the house in the city. It would give him years of study abroad. It would make him comfortable for Ufa. Presently he said: "Don't you think I could get $600,000 to make that trip r The bank official scarcely hesitated. "You can. You can get $500,000 In gold to drop this ring business and get out of the country." Nast laughed a little. He bad played the game far enough. "Well, I don't think I'll do it," he said. "I made up my mind a long time ago to put some of those fellows be hind the bars, and I'm going to put them there!" The banker rose rather quietly. "Only be careful, Mr. Nast, that you do not first put yourself in a coffin!" he smiled. It was not until two years later that he met Nast one day on Broadway. "Nast," he said, "you did It after all!" Albert Blgelow Paine In Pear son's. FRUITFUL FACTS. Lemons are an excellent remedy in pulmonary disease. Persia practically enjoys the monopo ly of the date trade. Sicily has some of the finest lemon orchards in the world. The pear tree will continue bearing fruit for several centuries. The cherry, the peach and the plum all originally came from Persia. Strawberries are regarded as particu larly good for sciatica and gout. At one time strawberries were sold strung on straws. Thus they got their name. The banana Is a perfect food. Weight for weight It is claimed to be as nutri tious as the beefsteak. About one pineapple in 30,000 has seeds In it, and it is from these seeds that new varieties are produced. Prunes are the dried fruit of certain kinds of plums which are put into very slow ovens. The finest of all, the French prunes, are made In Provence. Honesty as a Poller, A Judge aud a party of lawyers were discussing various maxims whenNme of the lawyers said: "Well, Judge, do you really believe honesty is the best policy?" -"I'll answer that questtou by n sto ry," replied the Judge. "When I was practicing law one day in the interests of a client I said to a man: " 'Do you own a large black dog with white spots?' "He looked at me quizzically and then said: " 'Oh, no. That dog is merely a stray canine that occasionally strolls Into my yard. You're the tax assessor, aren't you?' " 'No. I'm only a lawyer. I came to tell you that a client of mine had acci dentally shot and killed the big dog and authorized me to pay the owner $25 damages. But as the animal has no owner, why, of course there's noth ing to pay. Good morning.' "Cleve land Leader. NATURE TELLS YOU. As Many a New Bern Reader Knows too Well. When the kidneys are tick.

Siamese food principally consists of dried, frequently rotted. Dsn and rice 5one Into curries which comprise s lit tle of about every kind of condiment and especially a very popular sauce called namphrlk, a chutney like snd thoroughly mixed thing made of red pepper, shrimp, garlic, onions, citron, ginger and tamarind seeds. The only reason for the fish being putrid la be cause the natives like it so, for fish are plentiful in their rivers snd fishermen numerous, though their ways of catch ing are rather amusing and antique. One favorite method, borrowed from the Chinese, is beating the waters with long bamboo sticks to frighten the fish Into an sight or ten foot squarish net which is lowered into the river from s framework on the bank by a system of wheels and ropes and pulleys and hoisted up again when the catch is complete. I must confess that when the fish In the curry chanced to be dried Instead of decayed I found the concoction decidedly toothsome. In fact, a really good curry is in a class opart, and one must go to India or the far east to get it at Its best. Some times the natives eat pork and often times chicken, but for the most part rice and the fish curry constitute their chief diet, supplemented by the fruit of the country, of which there are many kinds tnangosteeu, mango, pineapple, banana, orange, breadfruit and that most healthful and" serving of all Si amese fruits, the papaya, which grows back from the water and is a greenish oval melon that suggests cantaloupe when opened. Outing. A SAVAGE CUSTOM. Carloaa Food Laws That Obtalaed In the South Sem Islands. A singular distinction was establish ed between the sexes in accordance with the general savage theory of the Inferiority, social and otherwise, of the female, which Is found to have pre vailed universally In the south sea is lands at the time of their discovery and for long afterward during a pe riod covered by the early missionary voyages and labors. Setting aside can nibal feasts at the end of a successful war expedition, when captives and vic tims were abundant and were roasted and devoured, the usual food of the men of these islands In ordinary cir cumstances was hog's flesh, with a va riety of fish from the surrounding ocean, together with cocoanuts nud plantains, but the women were forbid den to eat or touch the provisions sacred to male consumption, and an in fringement of this usage was rarely overlooked, but met with the penalty of death. The system of food taboo denied, un der the same penalty, to the sex the use of the fire at which the warrior's meal was prepared, the bouse In which he sat to eat and the basket in which bis provisions were stored. Such Items of food as native custom assigned to the women were preserved by them apart, deposited In distinct baskets, to be cooked when required at a separate fire and devoured In solitude in a little hut specially erected for the purpose. More ,4cit w - cat i t.eu Indians, No red Indians were over more cs- lous to pain than the aborigines of Aus tralia. In their tribal lights, which still occur frequently, the severest wounds are treated with indifference. Old Australian settlers are fond of toll ing a famous story of a tribal chief who walked sixty miles with a spear sticking clear through bis body before he conld get help t pull it out. They insist thst the story Is true. 1TMV -.-unit llliynif. Bulb has no rhyme. Culm, cusp cumb, gulf, month, doth, amongst, other rhyineless words having the sound of u as in but. Few patrician words In the language have this vowel sound, so commonplace and without dignity; hence poets turn to it only for blood, flood and a few similar tur bulent monosyllables. They use it often, however, iu forcing the accent from the antepenultimate syllable to the final, where Its unpleasant sound Is concealed by the softened stress. Thus has many rhymes, such as felicitous, mysterious, Inglorious, etc. London Chronicle. A Pleasant Prospect. He Here is good news for women.

It la well known, by the way, that cavalry hones In the Italian army g through almost as much training as though they were Intended for a circus, and the writer ha often been amazed to see patrician Human officers riding their fine chargers dow steep flights of stone stairs ami down especially constructed precipices which look aa though they were especially Invented to encompass the destruction of both horse and rider. Again, the writer witnessed the as tonishing army maneuvers of the Ital ian troops In the river Arno at Flor ence and also at Spezzla, the great naval arsenal of Italy. The Count of Turin was seen leading his regiment "out to sea." the prince often dis mounting and himself swimming with one arm about his charger's neck. The newly received horses at Aider shot, however, coming as they do most ly from inland regions, have a deep seated objection to the water, and as their riders are for the most part scant ily clad indeed the struggles between tutor and "pupils" are ludicrous In the extreme. If It is found absolutely Impossible to conx the animals lute water deeper than their knees or girths collapsible boats are used and the re fractory animal dragged by niiffn force beyond his depth, when he has to swim for dear life. H. Q. Hoberts In Har per's Weekly. Fatal Good Portnne. There Is a story told of a miner to whom sudden good fortune brought as sudden death. He was a man who touched ill luck at the start and could not get away from It. Not a grain of gold could he find in bis own claim; his cnpltal was exhausted; lie could not even obtain a livelihood as a la borer for others. In the depths of de spair be wont to the owners of a mine long worked out and begged permission to go down the shaft. It was granted. He.went down, and 20) feet from tlio surface be drove in his pick and dis lodged something. He came up with It and asked that bis rind might be ex amined and weighed. That was done. "Is it all mine?" be asked. It was, they told btm. "It's not the govern ment's?'' No, It was not the govern ment's. 'Nor anybody else's?" No, nor anybody else's. "It all belongs entirely and solely to me?" It did. The nameless wanderer bad found one of the biggest nuggets unearthed. It weighed 19G pounds of pure gold. They turned to congratulate him, to find that joy had killed him. The story is said to be true. Brass Button Acts. Acts were passed In the reigns of William III., Anne and George I. which made It Illegal for any tailor to make or any man to wear clothes with any buttons other than thoso made of brass appended thereto. The law further enacted that not only should any tailor who committed a bronch of it be fined 40 shillings, but also that he should not be able to recover from his customer In a court of law the price of the suit which he had adorned with the offending but tons; The whole object of the act was to protect the Birmingham metal but ton makers. A case which came be fore the courts in the year 1854 or 1855, In which a man, on being sued by his tailor, raised a successful de fense relying on the nets in question, that the buttons on the clothes which ho had ordered were bone and not brass, called attention to the existence of the anachronism, and the restric tions were soon after abolished.
