DWELLERS IN FLATS. A NEW YORK REAL ESTATE AGENT ON THEIR CHARACTERISTICS. Peculia: lines Which, According to His Experience, People of Different Nationalities Take In Causing Trouble to the Owners. The first question put by the renting agent was, "What nationality, please?" and the woman in the blue hat replied by asking, "Why do you want to know?" "I meant no offense," said the agent. "I only thought that by finding out your nationality I could refer you at once to certain buildings on my list which would be apt to please you." The woman in the blue hat had half a notion to get angry. "I don't see what my nationality has to do with finding a suitable flat," she said. "It has a good deal to do with it," said the agent. "Now, I can see straight off that you are an American, born and bred. This is a delicate question that you have plunged me into, but since I am in it I mean to flounder around a little while longer and tell you a few facts pertaining to the merits and demerits of different nationalities considered in the light of flathouse tenants." "First of all, I want to speak from the standpoint of prompt payment. If my success in business depended upon each tenant paying his rent exactly when it was due, I would try to fill all my houses with Scotchmen. Never have I lost a penny on a Scot, and seldom have I had to wait. "I am not making the rash assertion that it is impossible for a Scotchman to be dishonest while everybody else is trying his best to cheat me out of my very eyeteeth. The point I wish to make is that personally I have never suffered loss at the hands of a Scot. But they give trouble in other ways. They are fearfully quarrelsome and raise so many rows with the other tenants through the dumb walter shaft that it keeps the janitor busy straightening out domestic snarls. In all my buildings where Scotchmen reside I select a janitor with a view to his even disposition and diplomatic gifts. It doesn't matter so much about his ability for scrubbing and keeping the furnace going. Utilitarian accomplishments are a secondary consideration so long as he is endowed with the blessed qualities of a peacemaker." "Taken all in all, the most peaceable PERKINS IS NONCOMMITTAL. A Bit of Political Gossip Relative to the Next State and Senatorial Campaign There is brewing in the Republican party what promises to be one of the most hotly contested political battles in the history of the state. Up in San Francisco the fight is fairly under way, and if indications go for anything, the situation will soon warm up to a fever heat, not only porth, but in this section as well. It is a case of Gage and anti-Gage, and the leaders of both sides are putting to the test everyone who has not yet made open declaration either one way or another. Against the governor and the prospect of his renomination are the triumvirate—Spreckles, DeYoung and Senator Thomas R. Bard. Just where Senator George C. Perkins stands is a question that is giving rise to much speculation, and each side is doing the utmost to induce him to say. The Spreckles-DeYoung-Bard end of the fight recalls with trepidation that Colonel Burns Perkins owes or owed his election: Whether this is still a debt unpaid is not known and neither Perkins nor Colonel Burns is giving out any information on that point. There is one thing certain—each side is to have an opportunity to test its strength at the very outset, and John C. Lynch, collector of internal revenue at San Francisco, is to be the buffer between the two factions. Lynch has no standing in the anti-Gage ranks. He is particularly offensive to the Spreckels end of it and the present fight is to force Lynch from his office. Senator Bard, it is understood, already has a candidate for the place, but the Gage-Burns wing is determined to keep Lynch where he is. In order to find where Senator Perkins stands, an effort was made to get a declaration from him in Lynch's case. Here is the senator's complete and convincing reply, made to a Herald reporter some days ago: "I have nothing particular to say. The office is an appointive one, given solely at the pleasure of the president. There has been no complaint made; in fact, the office rates No. 1. I certainly have no candidate in view, and will not recommend his removal. He has not yet served four years. I have given off no more consideration than I gave before." Difficult Digestion That is dyspepsia. It makes life miserable. Its sufferers eat not because they want—but simply because they must. They know they are irritable and fretful but they cannot be otherwise. They complain of a bad taste in mouth, a tenderness at the pit of the starch, an uneasy feeling of puffy fulm headache, heartburn and what not. The effectual remedy, proved by permanent cures of thousands of severe cases. Hood's Sarsaparilla A MICHIGAN ENOCH ARDEN First Husband Returns With Dead Son of Their Son. Who Died in Klondike. Mrs. Harmon Alexander, who lives three miles from Riga, Mich., has knowingly become a bigamist, legal steps are to be taken by her straighten out the entanglement. Twenty-five years ago she married Alford Treadway at Traverse City son was born to them. Treadway was of a convivial nature and began to live home rather the worse for drink. She remonstrated with him and deavored to induce him for the sake their child at least to give up drinking, but pleadings were of no account. After an unusually heated row, Treadway left, saying he would never receive several years passed and Mrs. Treadway became convinced that her band died in the West. Six years ago she formed the quaintance of Hermon Alexander farmer, who had a home but whose wife had been dead several years. Son had grown up and was away from home part of the time she was lonely. The two decided get married. They have lived hard together until recently. The son grown to manhood and, like hundreds of others, became discouraged with humdrum of country life and with the Klondike about a year ago. Few weeks he wrote home that he sick, but would be cared for on the turn trip to Seattle by a man who knew and his mother knew, but did not mention his name. The mother couldn't imagine friend would interest himself in son in far off country and dis But they give trouble in other ways. They are fearfully quarrelsome and raise so many rows with the other tenants through the dumb waiter shaft that it keeps the janitor buy straightening out domestic snails. In all my buildings where Scotchmen reside I select a janitor with a view to his even disposition and diplomatic gifts. It doesn't matter so much about his ability for scrubbing and keeping the furnace going. Utilitarian accomplishments are a secondary consideration so long as he is endowed with the blessed qualities of a peacemaker. "Taken all in all, the most peaceable people I get in my houses hall from Sweden. You never hear a peep out of a Swede. He doesn't bother his neighbors and he doesn't bother me unless the provocation is extreme. As a rule, he is good pay too. The only fault I have to find with him is his fondness for moving. A lease is a dead letter in his eye, and he has no more compunction about moving without a day's notice than he has about going to bed when he is sleepy." The woman in the blue hat asked what were the chief characteristics of Americans as tenants. "Their supreme selfishness," said the agent. "They have not a spark of consideration for a landlord. They want the earth. They never get through asking for improvements. They are not content to get the walls tinted and the woodwork painted and the plumbing fixed once or twice a year. They want new decorations every month, and all the trimmings must be first class too. American tenants pay big prices for their flats, but there isn't really so much profit in catering to them as to other nationalities, for the simple reason that I have to pay out nearly all my income in trying to keep up the building in the style they demand. On the other hand, the people who ask for the least are the Italians and the French. They take most any old thing I feel like giving them, the French meekly providing their own decorations and the Italians going without. "I like German tenants pretty well too, but they are terribly hard on flats. I never could understand how they manage to inflict so much damage on walls and floors. Judging by the looks of an apartment just vacated by a large German family, one would think that their star piece of furniture was a battering ram. "The czar's former subjects also have an abnormally developed bump of destructiveness, although they run to glass instead of plastering. I have one house down town that is occupied by ten Russian families, and if they were not compelled to repair their own damages it would keep me poor putting in new windows and buying new gas globes. "I also rent to colored people. I have three houses full of them at present, and I must say that I have never had better tenants. But when you come down to facts, all my tenants are nice people, only I thought it might not be amiss while on the subject of nationality to mention a few of the peculiarities of each."—New York Sun. Homemade Stoves. In many parts of Spain the stove in general use is made from an empty petroleum oil can by cutting a hole place, but the Gage-Burts wing is determined to keep Lynch where he is. In order to find where Senator Perkin stands, an effort was made to get a declaration from him in Lynch's case. Here is the senator's complete convincing reply, made to a Herald reporter some days ago: "I have nothing particular to say. The office is an appoinitive one, given solely at the pleasure of the president. There has been no complaint made; in fact, the office rates No. 1. I certainly have no candidate in view, and will not recommend his removal. He has not yet served four years. I have given the office no more consideration than I have any other federal office. If there were complaints made, or malfeasance in office proved, I should not hesitate to ask the president to remove him, but the office is well managed. I am satisfied to let things remain as they are, at least until congress meets, unless complaint is made. I do not feel called upon to advise the president just at this time in regard to this appointment. There is no more reason at this time why there should be a change in this office than in several other offices in the state. I understand Bard has a candidate in view, but I have not." It will be easily seen that Senator Perkins is, to say the least, careful. Any information either side may take from his "declaration of intention" will settle nothing as to his future political intentions, and it is likely that the triumvirate will wait for something more definite. Senator Bard, it is understood, standing in to appoint a successor for Lynch as soon as his four years shall have expired, and if Senator Perkin stands with the other wing, the fight so far as Lynch is concerned, will result in a test of the strength of the senatorial delegation and their backers, with the administration. The triumvirate has not come into the open with a favorite. Senator Thomas Flint is a possibility, but at the same time William C. Ralston, Lieutenant Governor Neff's nephew, is at tracting some attention. It can be stated for a certainty that the editorial triumvirate has decided upon no one with whom to oppose Governor Gage, not being convinced as yet that either Flint or Ralston will do. Postal Reforms. Postmaster-General Smith has signed three orders amending in important particulars three postal regulations affecting second-class mail matter. The changes will effect sweeping and radical reforms in the department practices and methods of treating this class of matter. The first order amends section 276 which is the general definition, so as to exclude from the second-class publications which have the characteristics of books. The second order amends section 281 in several particulars, the principal one being that publications, the subscriptions to which are not founded on their value as news or literary journals and which, by the general use of premiums or other considerations in the form of Consumption Is a disease of civilization. When Indian was a stranger to the white he had no name in his vocabulary this dreaded malady. Without arguing as to the cut of consumption, it may be stated that Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures weak lungs, hemorrhages, bronchitis deep-seated and stubborn cough, and other diseases which if neglected or unskillfully treated had a fatal termination in consumption. There is no alcohol in the "Discovery," and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. Persons suffering from chronic disease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All Homemade Stoves. In many parts of Spain the stove in general use is made from an empty petroleum oil can by cutting a hole near the bottom on one of the sides to make a draft, the can being lined with gypsum to the pleasure of the constructor, giving the fire space accordingly. The stove thus made, primitive as it is in its appearance, is effective in purpose and costs the equivalent of but a few cents of our money. Peterboro, in New Hampshire, established the first free public library in the United States in 1833, and as early as 1849 a general law authorizing taxation for library purposes was passed. One of the most destructive earthquakes in the world's history was that which occurred in Tokyo in the year 1763 when 100,000 people were killed.

I remember one handsome young fellow whom I used to meet occasionally on the staircase who captured my youthful fancy. I met him only at midday, as he did not rise till late, and this fact, with a certain scrupulous elegance and neatness in his dress, ought to have made me suspect that he was a gambler. In my inexperience it only invested him with a certain romantic mystery. One morning as I was going out to my very early breakfast at a cheap Italian cafe on Long wharf I was surprised to find him also descending the staircase. He was scrupulously dressed even at that early hour, but I was struck by the fact that he was all in black, and his slight figure, buttoned to the throat in a tightly fitting frock coat, gave. I fancied, a singular melancholy to his pale southern face. Nevertheless he greeted me with more than his usual serene cordiality, and I remembered that he looked up with a half puzzled, half amused expression at the rosy morning sky as he waked a few steps with me down the deserted street. I could not help saying that I was astonished to see him up so early, and he admitted that it was a break in his usual habits, but added, with a smiling significance I afterward remembered, that it was “an even chince if he did it again.” As we neared the street corner a man in a buggy drove up impatiently. In spite of the driver’s evident haste my handsome acquaintance got in leisurely and, lifting his glossy hat to me with a pleasant smile, was driven away. I have a very lasting recollection of his face and figure as the buggy disappeared down the empty street. Never saw him again. It was not until a week later that I knew that an hour after he left me that morning he was lying dead in a little hollow behind the Mission Dolores, shot through the heart in a duel for which he had arisen to early.—Bret Harte’s “Under the Redwoods.” HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

After the advent of the house of Hanover the favorite games at court were “quadrille,” an improvement of “ombre,” and “commerce.” The gains and losses of the kings and queens were, as a rule, restricted to 100 guineas, but on Twelfth Night it was customary for thousands to change hands. On one occasion Lady Cowper, a lady in waiting, refused for the sake of her children to take part in the game, as none sat down to the table with less than £200. About the year 1740 a rage for “whisk,” or whist, set in, but at first it was considered too wise a game for ladies to join in. Hume, the historian, never went to bed without his whist, and even the great Johnson regretted that he had not learned to play cards. In 1742 “Horry” Walpole finds it absolutely necessary to learn “whisk,” “having waited in vain for its being left off.” We find him in another letter threatening to build an altar to “Pam” to commemorate the escape of his charming Duchess of Grafton, who appears, had been playing cards in Rome when she ought to have been at a cardinal’s reception, where the floor fell in and all the monsignores were precipitated into the cellar! Cards were so very much in evidence in his time that even invitations were frequently issued and notes written upon on the backs of playing cards, which on that account were usually plain, without any design. The chevalier’s famous order to retreat at Culloden was written on the back of the nine of hearts. A fresh attempt was made in 1739 to remedy the state of gambling in England by passing an act which provided that “any person keeping a house or other place to game in forfeits £200, half to the prosecutor and half to the poor of the parish,” whereupon two ladies of title, Mordington and Cassells, who keep open houses for gambling, claimed their privilege of peerage in order to intimidate the peace officers from doing their duty and suppressing the public gaming houses by them.—Longman's Magazine. Greeley's Awful Writing. It is interesting to recall the fact that Horace Greeley left behind him a very frank criticism of the legibility of his own chiography.

"There is no accounting for the construction which some people will put upon certain passages of Scripture," remarked a clergyman. "I remember the story of one clergyman who went to call on a woman whose husband had recently died. He had expected, quite naturally, to find her heartbroken with the burden of her sorrow and was greatly surprised when she greeted him with a very happy smile and ushered him into the parlor. 'Well—er—sister,' he said at length, 'you have my warmest sympathy.' "Thank you, doctor," replied the widow casually. "I did feel very badly—very badly indeed. But I came across a verse of Scripture which comforted me very much indeed." "And what was the verse, sister? inquired the clergyman." "I don't remember just where to find it," replied the widow, but it was made up of only four words—four helpful words—Why need I care?"—Brooklyn Citizen. Jay Gould's First Trade.

Being up town in New York one day, and wishing to send a telegram and also to get shaved, he entered a hotel and sent his dispatch. Then, passing into the barber shop, he sat down in a chair and (according to custom) was soon sound asleep. Meantime the telegram had created a decided sensation. Mr. Greeley having thrown it down hastily on the desk and neglected to translate it. Nobody, from the manager down, being able to supply a legible equivalent for the mysterious characters, a messenger was sent into the barber shop with the screed. Waking with a start, and supposing that the boy had brought an answer to his dispatch, Mr. Greeley took the paper, scanned it for a moment, and then, with a look of deep disgust, piped out: "What blamed idlot wrote this?"

The Boston Bloomer Girls will play a game of baseball with the local nine on the Lemon-street grounds this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Bloomer girls do not expect to draw crowds entirely on account of the novelty of being female players, but really put up a creditable exhibition of the national game. They travel in a private palace car and carry a canvas fence for enclosing the grounds, a grand stand with a seating capacity of 2,000, and everything necessary to give a first class exhibition. They have toured all the Western states, and have everywhere received good notices from the press, not only for their ball playing, but also for ladylike behavior ness which is not healthy. The utterly worn-out feeling experienced by so many women is not due as a rule to the physical exhaustion of labor, but to the draining away of the strength by womanly diseases. Nervousness, headache, backache, and sleeplessness are but a few of the common results of such a diseased condition. Yet thousands of women suffer from womany diseases for years and make little or no effort to effect a cure. They treat womanly disease as if it was a purely local thing, and only wake up to the disastrous effect of the disease upon the general health, when there is an utter break down, followed perhaps by years of painful illness. HOW TO BE CURED. Any woman suffering from womanly disease can almost surely be cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This statement is based on the testimony of many thousands of women who have been cured of womanly diseases (often when aggravated by neglect or wrong treatment, and generally of a serious and painful nature), by the use of "Favorite Prescription." "I used four bottles of your 'Favorite Prescription' and one of 'Golden Medical Discovery,'" writes Mrs. Elmer D. Shearer, of Mounthope, Lancaster Co., Pa., and can say that I am cured of that dreaded disease, uterine trouble. Am in better health than ever before. Every one who knows me is surprised to see me look so well. In June, when I wrote to you, I was so poor in health that at times I could not walk.

The mines and mining claims are: The Old Shoes, The Red Bug, The Patsy Rollar, The Harmony, the Standard, the Central (one half), The Polka Dot, The Bull's Eye, The Full Moon, The Half Moon, The Meteor, the Coined Money, The Fellowship, The Little Giant, The Lookout, The Jason The Blackhawk, The Lone Star, The Lurky Boy and Sixteen to One. There is also the undivided one-tenth of the Good Hope group of wines and claims, twelve in number. Values in ores are of gold, silver, lead, copper and some bismuth, as the product of the veins. ...OLD SHOES MINE... During the former explorations, and by sinking the shaft on the Old Shoes mining claim and vein by mill sampling, these values were found and shown to be in the ore of that vein: First: On discovery, small chips were broken off all along this Old Shoes vein, at surface croppings of the vein, for the distance of 1000 feet, these crushed and sampled down to 25 pounds, and then down to an assay sample, which on assay, gave gold value per ton of rock in place. No 14. Sinking by shaft was started at once, at depth: Three feet ... $8.56 Six feet ... 17.14 47.64 19.34 33.06 Fight feet ... 12.40 Twelve feet ... 22.50 Twenty-eight feet ... 16.65 Fifty-seven feet ... 12.62 Seventy-two ft.(v. in figs.) ... 26.62 Three Sections-1 ... 8.50 19.91 3 ... 78.45 Seventy-six feet ... 59.82 All of the outside claims and the veins thereof, as pitterroppings have been sampled just as was the surface of the Old Shoes mine outcropping. The ores are similar, and the result of values was an average of three to nine dollars per ton of rock in place, as exposed by the veins outcroppings. The results having been obtained from eightteen mill samples of about 25 pounds each, and each crushed and averaged down to the assay sample. It is plausibly apparent that all of these claims will justify good development in search for the high-grade ore shoots of the vein. Work has been resumed and is now in progress on these properties.

Diplomacy is a fine art, and in its successful practice much depends upon the observation of social conventions. Some of the most successful diplomats seem to spend most of their time at dinners and parties, apparently doing nothing but enjoying themselves, but in reality serving well their countries. In truth, the reputation of a country at foreign court and oftimes its welfare in important issues depend very largely upon the social abilities of its minister, for the man who is popular socially is very likely to drive a better international bargain than his unsold brother. This is well understood at Washington, and the selection of a chief for one of our foreign embassies depends in no small part upon his social culture—Edward Page Gaston in Woman's Home Companion. answered my letter then and told me what to do—I followed your advice, and so-day am cured. I tell everybody that with God's help, Dr. Pierce's medicines cure me. If these few words are of any use to you you are welcome to use them. They might help some other poor, suffering woman." Mrs. Shearer's case is a fair example of the average cure effected by the use of "Favorite Prescription" both in the completeness and quickness of the cure. Of course, in complicated and chronic cases the cure may be slower but it is none the less sure if the medicine is faithfully used as directed. The records show that ninety-eight women in every hundred who have given "Favorite Prescription" a fair and faithful trial have been perfectly and permanently cured. UNNATURAL CONDITIONS. Every woman should remember that a diseased condition is unnatural. The natural condition of the womanly organism is a condition of health and "Favorite Prescription" works with nature on nature's lines to re-establish that condition of perfect health.
