What has become of the old fash-
ioned woman who said to her children,
"Shame on you!"
Whether tri» or not, the story they
tell of Joseph, the Nez Perces chief,
ought to be true, says the Boston Trans-
cript. A young lady, it is said, asked
him through an interpreter if he ever
scalped anyone. When the question
was translated to him, Joseph looked
at the fair questioner intently, then
walked around behind her and viewed
the knot of hair only half-hidden by her
bonnet. "Tell her," he said to the in-
terpreter, "that I have nothing in my
collection as fine as that."
Rocked on the Creit of the Wave*,
The landsman, tourist or commercial traveler,
speedily begins, and not only begins, but con-
tinues, to feel the extreme of human misery
during the transit across the tempestuous At-
lantic. But if, with wise prescience, he hat
provided himself with a supply of Hosietter'a
Stomach Bitters, his pangs are promptly miti-
gated, and then cease ere the good snip again
drops her anchor. This Is worth knowing, and
thousands of our yachtsman, summer voyagers,
tourist* and business men do know it.
It the Lord really helps a man who
helps himself, he ought to be kind to
the politicians.

COURSING LIZARDS.
The Amassment of a Tam* Eagle 1|
the Arizona Desert.
In St. Nicholas, Woloott Le Clerq
Beard writes of "Moses: a Taime
Bagle," which was one of hia pets
while he was engaged in engineering
in Southern Arizona. Mr. Beard says:
"He was very fond of the lizards with
which these plains abounded, and one
large variety, called 'swifts,' from their
remarkable speed in running, seemed
to be especially coveted. Whenever
one of these was caught, which waa not
often, Moses would be brought out, and
after the swift had taken ten feet start
.would be set free. The lizard would
promptly resolve itself fato a white
streak across the desert, and, scream-
ing with excitement, half running, half
flying, Moses would pursue, followed by
the laughing crowd, of which only
those on horseback had much cibance
of keeping up. It was in jio sense a
cruel sport; it amused Moses and us
and didn't hurt the swift, for he got
away every time; and if the feelings of
our pet were a trifle injured as he re-
turned, perched on some one's wrist or
saddle-horn, from his fruitless hunt,
these were speedily soothed by the
prompt gift of a nice bit of fresh beef,
so no one was the worse. The lizards,
however, he seemed to view as a sort
of desert, and as he could absorb an
unlimited quantity, they were always
in demand. A certain stick kept on
the veranda of our office was generally
under his eye; and when any one
picked this up and started for a walk
across the desert Moses would hop
gravely along behind, sure that some
of his favorite dainties would soon be
forthcoming. Of course, Moses was
perfectly well able to catch the smaller
kinds of lizards for himself, but th*re
was less exertion in allowing some one
else to do it for him; and exertion, at
jthis period of his life, was a thing to
which Moses was violently opposed.
These occasions were almost the only
ones when he would be silent for any
length of time; for he seemed to un-
derstand perfectly that at the first note
of his voice every lizard within hear-
ing would run for his life to the near-
est refuge; and only when a blow of
the stick failed for the second or third
time to reach its mark would he give
utterance to his deep disgust at such
clumsiness."
USEFUL ANIMALS.
A French scientist has lately written
ftn interesting paper on altruism in
animals, arriving at the startling con-
clusion that animals are perhaps bet-
ter Christians than men. He says:
"Animal societies are less polished, but
perhaps more humane, all things be-
ing equal, than our own," and gives
several instances of animal species
made use of by another anil performing
services for the latter without receiving
anything in exchange.
Among others is mentioned the case
of the crocodile and the bird trochilus
on the banks of the Nile. This bird
performs two services for the croco-
dile. It enters its mouth and dis-
patches there the worms and leeches
which trouble the crocodile; it flies rap-
idly away, giving vent to a peculiar
cry, when the ichneumon, the enemy
of the crocodile, approaches, thus ap-
prising its companion of the ichneu-
mon's presence. In return the croco-
dile shakes its tail whenever it wishes
to close its mouth, thus giving the bird
warning. The crocodile in no wise rec-
ompenses, but contents itself simply
with respecting the person of the little
animal. The service rendered is unil-
ateral. But it is easy to understand
that by the exercise of extremely little
intelligence, if not unconsciously, the
crocodile may be led to defend its tro-
chilus."
Sometimes one animal will borrow
the services of another temporarily, as
in the case of the serpent who is fer-
ried across the river by a duck, or, as
is frequently seen, several animals as-
sist one another in crossing streams of
water, in lifting large stones, in mov-
ing the trunk^ of trees, in constructing
dams, in hunting or in mutual de-
fense. Aplhids, who have the power of
secreting an abdominal fluid of which
ants are passionately fond, are kept by
the ants in stables like milch cows and
carefully watched.
Pope Lco'n Simple Life.
Two hundred and ninety-three popes
have succeeded each other, and only
eleven of them, including the present
pope, have reigned more than seven-
teen years. Leo XIII. has reigned nine-
teen years. Pius IX. reigned thirty-
two years, thereby stultifying the pop-
ular superstition that no pope would
reign more than twenty-five. Leo owes
his astonishing powers of work, fine
health and clear, bright eyes in old,
age, firstly, of course, to his frugal up-
bringing in the Italian hills, and in
the next place to his regularity of life
long abstemiousness. He lives on less
than five francs a day.—Ex.

A STK0KE OF PARALYSIS.
The Patient an Old Man, But Recovers.
Peter G. Thompson is the foreman
of the carpenter shop of the Schaghti-
coke Powder Company, Schaghticoke,
$. Y. Mr. Thompson recently had a
stroke of paralysis, which at his ad-
vanced years may very well have
proven fatal. Here is what he says:
"I am sixty-seven years old, and
have been employed as the foreman of
the carpenter shop of the Schaghticolte
Powder Company for many years. In
1804, while coming home from church,
I was stricken with paralysis of thp
right leg. Very shortly afterward my
right arm was affected, and so was my
head and loft eye. This latter affliction
was so serious that all objects appeared
double, and my sight to a certain ex-
tent was useless.
' 'I had two physicians attending me,
and also two noted occulists, one from
Troy and the other from Albany, though
they could not help me, but of course
their services cost a great deal of
money, and as I was not earning any-
thing, this alone was a great source of
worriment and discomfort to me, for
things looked blue.
"It was then that I took notice of an
advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People and read of a person
similarly afflicted as myself, who had
been cured in the summer of 1894.
, "I at once procured a supply of the
pills and began taking them. I used
at least four boxes before I noticed any
change, but then I began to improve,
my vision became normal, my limbs
recovered their usefulness, and I was
once more restored to manhood.
From the Sun, Schnghtlcohe, N. Y.
"I am absolutely recovered, which
at my advanced age seems a little
short of a miracle. I really am better
than I was for years before I had that
stroke and Dr. Williams and his Pink
Pilis for Pale People are the upper-
most thoughts in my mind night and
day, and my thankfulness for having
through Providence seen that newspa-
per advertisement, I can never ade-
quately express."
The proprietors of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People state that
they are not a patent medicine but a
prescription used for many years by
an eminent practitioner who produced
the most wonderful results with them,
curing all? forms of weakness arising
from a watery condition of the blood
or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes
of almost every ill to which flesh is
heir. The pills are also a specific for
the troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, all forms of weakness,
chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, etc., and in the case of men will
give speedy relief and effect a perma-
nent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses
of whatever nature. They are entirely
harmless and can be given to weak
and sickly children with the greatest
good and without the slightest danger.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of
price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or
by the 100), by addressing Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Schenec-
tady, N. Y.
- The will of the late John Foster, of
Boston, filed last week, gives $121,000
to public charities. To the city of Bos-
ton it gives $30,000 for the erection of
a statue to the Rev. William Ellery
Channing. The Young Men's Chris-
tian Union, the Massachusetts General
Hospital and the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology are left $10,000
each; the town of Warner, N. H., $8000,
and the Congregational Society, War-
ner, N. H., $8000, and several other
institutions are left $5000 each.
A new paper in Arkansas is called
the Scorpion. The Little Rock Dem-
ocrat, in speaking of it, says: "We
have had the Toothpick, the Toma-
hawk, the Ripsaw, the Buzz Saw, the
Thomas Cat, the Bazoo, the Horseshoe
and the Horn, but nothing so like the
'wild and wooly west' as the Scorpion
has ever made its appearance in this
section before."
Thirty thousand one hundred arid
ninety-four applications for patent*
were received during 1896 at the
British patent office. This was at the
rate of 700 per week. Of the appli-
cants 691 were women, 168 of this
number being for inventions connected

The 400th anniversary of Cobot's
