4 — FOUR WEEKS’ VACATION, How Prominent Business and Profes- sional Men Take the Keeley Cure. It will be very often noticed that some man who is well and favorably known in his community, except for his habit of drinking to excess, will leave home for a month’s vacation. He will go away looking debilitated and careworn, and sometimes considerably debauched. His intimate friends will know that he has been drinking heavi- ly, but perhaps the public will hear nothing of it. His mail goes to Minneapolis, and letters go from Minneapolis to his home or place of business. Inquirers will be told that he is “on a vacation.” At the conclusion of four weeks he returns home, clear-eyed, healthy, with a light, springy step, and the look of Weariness and anxiety will have disap- peared from his face. To those who ask him where he has been, he tells, joyfully, that he has been to the Kee- ley Institute, Minneapolis; that he is freed from any appetite for liquor, and that he feels as well as he did before he ever took a drink. If he has had stomach trouble or rheumatism, or such ailments as have been superin duced by the use of alcohol, these will have disappeared. During the month he has recovered entirely from the ill-effects ef alcohol- ism. He is enthusiastic and pleased with his cure, and declares that he never spent four weeks more pleasant- ly. He feels like a new man. He has, ayi 1 little more than $100.00, ‘If a new man. His wife and family rejoice with him as one re- claimed. He tells his friends how he has been cured by Keeley Remedies, and gene) some other unfortun- ate to take the cure. He also cautions friends against the fraudulent cures which pretend to do the work done by the Keeley Cure. He is sure of the results of the Keely Cure. | He advises interested persous tc write to the Keely Institute, corner ‘Tenth street south and Park avenue, Minneapolis, Minn., for literature and information about the Keeley Cure.

MOST AUTOCRATIC GOVERN- MENT ON EARTH. £ven Throws a Russian Nobleman Into Prison — Dr, Sodomsky Borced t& Occupy a Cell with the Bones of a Tortured Prisoner. Grave charges are made in Vienna against the Servian government in ref- erence both to the treatment of the Political offenders now under arrest and to the outrageous sentences which are being passed by the court-martial appointed to deal with the culprits. The most serious charges are made in conection with the treatment of Dr. Sodomsky, scientific adviser to the commission of control over the Ser- vian state monopolies. Dr, Sodomsky is a Russian by birth, education and nationality, and went to Belgrade eight years ago at the express invitation of the Servian government to fill this im- portant post. Dr. Sodomsky is a man of science pure and simple, and has neither the time nor the inclination to take any interest in politics. Stil, he Was arrested on suspicion of being an accomplice in the contempt to assassi- nate ex-King Milan, dismissed from his official position, imprisoned for three weeks and then expelled from Servia. Dr. Sodomsky says: “I was sitting one evening with my wife in front of my house, when six gendarmes en- tered the garden, seized me and placed me in chains. I was conveyed to pris- on, and in spite of my repeated re- quests to be told the reason of my ar- rest, not a word of explanation was given me. I was thrust into a sub- terranean cell, damp and dark, and so small that I could not stand upright in it, and had barely room left to lie at full length on the floor. The cell hadnot been cleaned out probably for years, and its unsanitary condition was too disgusting to describe, The discovery of the bones of a human being on the floor added to the horror of my situ- ation. When I shouted for help a warder came and thrashed me with a! ¢; huge whip, telling me to die quickly and make no fuss about it. After three days in this cell I underwent a mock examination, and was thrust back into prison. Here I languished for three weeks almost starved to death and brutally maltreated by the warders. My innocence was then es- tablished, but instead of being re- leased and compensated I was taken to the frontier and expelled from Ser- vian territory. I can prove that my life in Belgrade was blameless, and it is my intention to appeal to the Rus- sian government to obtain damages for me from the Servian authorities.” A WOMAN'S PARADISE. Russia, an Adamless Eden Part of the Year. The last place where one would ex- pect to find a town wholly administer- ed and during most of the time exclu- sively inhabited by women is in auto- cratic Russia. In Smolensk, southern Russia, woman reigns supreme, and, under the presidency of a woman, mayor and city council has things all her own way. The town of Smolensk and the neighboring province, which is about fifteen miles in area, are deserted every spring by all the able-bodied men, who proceed to neighboring towns in search of work, remaining away about nine months of the year. In their absence the women cultivate the fields and manage local affaits un- der the presidency of a woman mayor of their own choice. It did not take the women long to get the upper hand and they have brought into Russia some startling innovations. The prop- erty of all the inhabitants of Smolensk is held in common and all their work is Smolensk, done in common—cultivating, building, housekeeping, but each family may oc- cupy a house by itself. There is no currency but labor, and each full- grown inhabitant has to give the city thirty-six hours’ labor a week. When a woman is married, the colony makes no other claims upon her, but from an unmarried woman extra work is re- quired, so that she can establish a credit and possess a home of her own, Bridge. London society during the last’ sea- son took up a new game, which is called bridge. It has certainly been a great rage, and was a source of amusement to a great many during the long- winter evenings, between 5 and 7. It is a species of whist, and is played by four people, but one hand is laid on the table for every one to see, so it can quite easily be played by three, and it is pronounced better than dum- my whist. The game is called bridge because, owing to certain rules and complications which occur in the game, it is possible to “bridge” or pass over when it is one’s turn to play. It is a great gambling game, and a great deal may be won or lost in one night, as the bets can be doubled at will, and the points are generally high. DR.

An interesting relic of Bishop Hoop- er has just been sold in London. It was a part of the stump cut from the stake at which the bishop was burnod: in St. Mary’s square, Gloucester, in 1555, as an “obstinate and irreclaim- able heretic.” The stake was taken up to make room for the foundations of the present monument. The greater portion of the stake was made into a casket and was given to the mayor's daughter on the occasion of her mar- riage, Wouldn’t Burn Them.

A native Maori chieftain, the de- scendant of cannibal kings, is now: completing his education in Chicago. Cannibalism ended in his tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn conv his grandfather; but he tells some sto- Ties of it which have a distinctly hu- morous flavor. For instance: It is said that once a chief captured a missionary, who was old and thin, and looked as if his flesh would be tough. The missionary warned the chief that he would not make a good dinner, and, pulling up his trousers, cut a slice off the calf of his leg and of- fered it to the chief. The chief tasted it, said he didn’t like it, and passed it to a sub-chief. The sub tasted it, made a wry face, and passed it on. The next man who took a bite of it spat it out. The mis- sionary was released. After he had gone it was discovered that he wore a cork leg.—Youth’s Companion. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If there is one thing on which the housewife prides herself, it is that of having her laundering done nicely, 80 that the wearing apparel may be the admiration of all. The washing is a small matter, any one almost can do that, but to have the linens present that flexible and glossy appearance after being ironed requires a fine qual- ity of starch. Ask your grocer for a coupon book which will enable you to get the first two packages of this new starch—‘‘Red Cross” trademark brand, also two of the children’s Shakespeare pictures painted in twelve beautiful colors as natural as life, or the Twentieth Cen- tury Girl Calendar, all absolutely free.

It is stated that the Chinese mcr bers of the crew of Admiral Dewey's flagship Olympia, who fought in the naval battle of Cavite, will be prevent- ed from landing in New York, under the Chinese exclusion act. The admi- ral, it will be remembered, highly com mended the gallantry and devotion of these men, and expressed the wish might be granted Ameri But it seems that the law rable. Unless they were den- izens of the United States at the time of their enlistment, they cannot step foot on the shores of the country they served at Manila, One would think the case offers a reason for asking the president to stretch the law.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: “It isn’t many men who have beaten a brace faro game,” said an old steam- boat captain, “but I enjoyed that ex- perience in Memphis one night, at the time gambling was wide open every- where along the river. I was steered into the place by a pleasant-spoken chap, who had scraped acquaintance at the hotel, and I saw immediately that I was against a lot of robbers. 1 realized, however, that I would proba- bly get sandbagged if I raised a row, 80 I concluded to sit down at the faro table, lose a few dollars, and then make some excuse to go out. I bought a stack of chips, and had just started to Play when two new men came in, one of them evidently a “capper” for the house and the other a drunken plan- ter. From the significant glances of ali hands it was plain that a rice prize had been landed, and, as they made room for the poor dupe at the table, the dealer asked me very courteously to cash in my chips and quit. You see, they wanted to get rid of me so as to devote their entire attention to pluck- ing the planter, and the dealer gave as a reason that ‘Col. —— was an old friend and liked to have the game to himself.’ That gave me my cue, and I told him pretty shortly that I in- tended to remain where I was. ‘Oh, let im stay,’ grunted the planter, good naturedly, and the chap behind the table, scowling like mad, resumed the deal, The drunken man slapped down $50 at a time and I followed him with $5 a shot, playing opposite. In other words, when his bet was open mine was ‘coppered,’ and vice versa. It was impossible for them to win from him without losing to me, and I could hear the whole crowd gritting their teeth every time I gathered in the chips. They wanted my gore, sure, but didn’t dare molest me for fear of alarming the planter. I kept it up until I had won about $100, and then 1 cashed in and sauntered out, leaving the victim at the game. I yearned to give him a tip, but that would have meant certain death; his presence and lack of suspicion were the only things that saved me, I never heard how much he lost.” 4 BOTTOMLESS HOLES. Which the Devi-tearing Boers Are Afraid to Tamper With. Up near the source of the little river of Malmani: there is a strange round hole in the rocks, a few yards in di- ameter, descending perpendicularly down to the unknown. In that hole there is nothing. It is empty. The neighbors say a stone dropped into it is never heard of again. These good people, though, are not given to throw- ing in many, even when the protect- ing parson is there on his rounds. They gravely suspect a too free indulgence might prove an annoyance to an irri- table personage whom they would rather not see on their level in that part of the world, and whose visits in anger they would be loath to receive. Though this hole is empty, there is an- other, somewhat larger, close to it, which is not empty. This other is full of water almost up to the brim, and it has upon it a floating island of grass, which shifts from side to side with every change of the wind. To find fur- ther examples of the same sort of herbage it is necessary to go 600 miles to the northward, well into the hot districts of the tropics. Boers say of this second pit they have endeavored to sound it, using twelve dozen raw- hide thongs (reins) tied end to end, a line, say, of 200 fathoms, with a big stone as sinker, but without striking bottom. The sinker and line at the lowest, were pulled sharply away to the side, as if a strong current were ecursing below. Upon that, they ceased to investigate further. You see, they were meddling in things which didn’t concern them, and risking en- counters with powers best left alone. So how deep it may be we do not know yet. Some day a bolder spirit may tell us, Too Hot to Fxtinguish, From the Memphis Scimiter: A well- known Mississippi farmer will have cause to remember his recent visit to Memphis. He stopped in a well-known cafe, and.among other.things. ordered a sirloin steak. A bottle of tobasco sauce was on the table, and mistaking it for catsup he spread it- quite lav- ishly on the steak and settled down.to enjoy the meal. He cut off a big piece, but no sooner had it struck his mouth than he began to feel like his tongue was on fire. He twisted and turned, and soon had the eyes of every- one in the dining hall fastened on him. The more he twisted and screwed his face the hotter the steak in his mouth got. He didn’t know what was the matter. He could stand it no longer, and reaching up his hand he jerked out the burning bite, threw it on the floor and in a very dramatic way exclaimed, “Now, d—n you, blaze!” Something About Shoe Laces. It seems ridiculous to think that fashion regulates even the sort of shoe laces one wears, but it Goes to a cer- tain extent at least. The very smartest shoe lace is wide, the wider the better, is of silk, and most notable of all, has no metal tags at the ends. The strings should be tied in a large bow and the ends allowed to hang out, when the footwear gives all possible evidence of being up-to-date. They look very pret- ty, these laces, but one wonders what their effect would be cn the temper if, tipless as they are, they had to be laced and unlaced whenever the shoes were assumed, Happily they are used only in low footwear, and are so long that they may be loosened sufficiently to al- low the foot to slip out, so this trial to the temper is avoided.
