Service Shocked Her. A certain noble family in Scotland adopted the Episcopalian faith and carried out its ideas regardless of ex- pense. On the first introduction. of the full choir service into the local church the great lady who had been active in the work was anxious that a favorite woman servant of herg-—a Presbyterian of the old school—should have an opportunity cf hearing the service. Accordingly she took her down to church in the carriage and en returning asked the old woman what she thought of the music. “Ou, it’s verra bonny; but, oh, my lady, it’s an awfu’ way of spending the sab- bath!” Settled Bill by Marriage. A poetically-minded literary man, g from North Dakota, not long e married his landlady, who keeps mall hotel in the Latin quarter of This young man, who for elev- paid not a single Scu for i or lodging, was at length taken verely to task by his long-suffering hostess, who threatened summary j yn.

Cotton has been cultivated in Para- guay for many years, but hitherto lit- tle or no*’attempt has been made to export it. In the last year, however, considerable interest has been mani- fested in this product by cotton deal- ers and experts who have visited tife | country. Samples forwarded to the United Kingdom have met with con- siderable approval, and one shipment to Manchester was pronounced “very good standard quality.” Paraguayan eotton is said to resemble the Egypt ian variety. Besides the white varie- ty, there is also a colored cotton. The : prices obtained for Paraguayan cot- ton in Europe are 5d a pound for the London Engineer. High on the Hills.

The Quinine Cure for Drunkenness. It is claimed that drunkenness can be cured ‘in from, one week to one month’s time by using the following mixture: Pulverize one pound of fresh quill-red Peruvian bark and soak it in one pint of diluted alcohol. Strain and evaporate it down to half a pint. For the first two days*give a teaspoon- ful every three hours. If this quantity causes headache diminish the dose. The third day reduce amount to half | a teaspoonful; the next day give fif- | teen drops, the next ten and then five, i A singular instance of: | kind of obedience. | tions regarding visitors, HUMOR’ BEFORE THE LECTURE. Novel Manner in Which El! Perkins Was Introduced to Audience. Colonel Dick Woods, editor of a paper in Mount: Sterling, Ky., was a guest of a friend in Chicago a few days ago, and his presence reca!led the manner in which the colonel in- troduced Eli Perkins to an audienee in Mourt Sterling. Perkins, whose real neme is Mel- Ville Landon, when doing stunts as a lecturer for a lyceum bureau, al- Ways wanted some prominent citizen to introduce him to the audience, not- withstanding that he was the sole at- j traction and the only name on tie program. Colonel Woods was not par- ticularly fond of Fli, but he was po- lite to him, and Eli became very in- sistent that the newspaper editor should present hi Eli stuck to th eotone?, and at the proper time dra: 1 him, reluctantly, upon the platform. The editor stood for a@ moment, awkwardly ‘ooking over the audience, as if seeking a loophole of escape, and then, address- ing an acquaintance, he said: “Judge Rogers, let me introduce you to Mr. Perkins. “Squire Johnson, shake hands with i Mr. Perkins. “Major Williams, Mr. Perkins. “Aunt Sally Goodrich, this is Mr. Eli Perkins. “Elder Kent, allow me to present Mr. Eli Perkins.” And so he went | until Perkins knew as many people in white variety and Gd for the rea— ! the audience as Woods did. LITERAL IN HIS CBEDIENCE. Scotch Servant Should Have Made an Ideal Soldier. Scottish highland retainers, when made to do duty as servants, are said to show a very stolid, matter-of-fact A Mr. Campbell, a highland gentleman, visiting a coun- try heuse, told Donald to bring every- thing out of the bedroom, meaning his personal belongings. But five minutes later he found all its movable articles —fender, fire-irons and the like—piled up in the lobby, so literal was the poor man’s sense of obedience to orders! And ef this he gave a still more ex- traordinary proof during his sojourn in Edinburgh. When the family moved into a house there Mrs. Camp- bell gave him very particular instrue- explaining they were to be shown into the draw: ing room, and used the Seotticism, “Carry any ladies that call upstairs.” The first visitors were two women who came at the same time. Donald seized one in his arms, said to the other, “Bide ye there till I come for ye,” and in spite of her struggles and remonstrances ushered the terrified visitor into Mrs. Campbell’s presence. 2-cent for 50,000.00 CASH GIVEN AWAY to Users of LION COFFEE In Addition to the Regular Free Premiums Cash to Lion Coffee users in our Great World’s Fair Contest— 2139 people get checks, 2139 more will get them in the for all can- the election (votes stamp entitle you (in addition to the regular free premiums) to one vote.
