The city or town bred man whg has all his life humped his back over a desk, living an unhealthy, sedentary life and failed to take any care of his health, could not stay on the back of one of these vicious brutes for more than three jumps. It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious animal. People may talk about intellectual superiority and re6nement and good breed ing. but every man takes off his Jjat to physical strength and endurance. While the man who leads a sedentary life cannot hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy men of the plains, they can be sound, vig orous, healthy men if they will. It is a matter of care of health while one has it, and the proper measures to restore it when it is lost. Most diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver. Troubles of this nature starve the body, because they prevent it from receiv ing its proper supply of nourishment. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a man an appetite like a cow-boy's and the digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is upon the stomach, large intestines and liver. These are the organs nourish a man's body. This medicine makes them strong, vigorous aud healthy.

Timid Woman Conducted Arrow a Crowded Street b> n Slttlit % leu* Man. "I saw a most remarkable occurrence cn the street the other day, saiil a pro fessional man, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "and it made a deep im pression on me. A lady came down Ku clid avenue and stopped at the corner if Bond street. She evidently wanted to cross to the other side of the avenue She was not a young woman and she did not look strong. There was quite a jpm of vehicles in the street, motor car.-*, wagons and bicycles, and she seemed a l'ttle timid about risking the pa.-sage. As she hesitated a man came up Bond street and paused beside her. lie was a well-dressed man and carried a heavy cane, which I noticed he used constant ly as if he might be a little lnme. " 'Sir,' said the lady to him, 'can I ask you to offer me the protection of your prm in crossing the street?' "She said this in a very sweet and ladylike way and the man with tho cane touched his hat. " 'Certainly, madam,' he replied, and offered his arm. As they crossed the street I followed close behind them. The man with the cane was very care ful. He halted several times, but they reached the other side without mishap As the lady let go of his arm she said: " "Thank you, sir, for your courtesy and protection.' " 'You are quite welcome, madam, he replied. 'But I fear you overvalue my protection —because I am blind!' "And touching his hat again he turned and picked his way up the crowded sidewalk." LOUIS PHILIPPE IN EXILE. When 11 Poor Duke He Wanted to Marry an American Girl, Hut Her Father Objected. A merchant prince was a great man in eld Philadelphia—a far greater man than the master of a little school, even though it were the most select in the city—even though the teacher were an exiled French gentleman of royal blood, duke of Orleans then, King Louis Philippe in after years. The story of how the princely school master courted the charming Abigail, daughter of Thomas Willing, is re lated wtth new detail in a recent num ber of the Ladies' Home Journal. Dressed in his best, and probably, not withstanding that he was a modest and sensible young man, little in fear of an unfavorable response, the exiled prince called on the American merchant and asked him for his daughter. There was nerhaps, more pride than humility in the answer he received: "Sir, should you ever be restored to your hereditary position, you will be too great a match for my daughter; if pot, she is too great a match for you." So the poor schoolmaster went away disappointed, and, although only his ''position" and the lady's appear to have been considered by the hard-hearted parent, it is probable that if Mistress Abigail had not agreed with his opinion she would have made her influence felt. As it was, Louis Philippe married Princess Marie Amelie, daughter of the king of Naples, while Abigail \Y illing, of Philadelphia, who might have been queen of France, became plain Mrs. Kichard Peters. POLITENESS FOR NOTHING. The Gallant Action of a Man Ilrlntc* Only Humiliation at the llnndu of a Proud Woman. A stylishly attired woman was seen walking down Washington street the other day, attracting considerable at tention by her fine figure and graceful carriage. Men turned to glance after her and women managed to see the uweep of her skirt and the cut of her roat behind out of the corners of their ryes without- turning around at all, a habit most women have. At all events the woman was ftunning and a young •utist, turning to obtain a third look a', her, saw to his delight that she dropped her purse. Hurriedly he ran towher; the object lay and stooped down to get It. At the same instant a ragged Italian woman made a grnb at it, says the Chi cago Chronicle. The young artist got it and the worn oa got it, and both were determined to retain his hold. Aiter some words 011 the subject, during which the artist felt like a fool, he conquered and rushed frantieallv down tl»e street, where tho stunning woman conld still be seen. He was breathless when he overtook her but, lifting his hat politely, he said: "I saw you drop your purse, madam, rnd take pleasure in returning it to you." Haughtily the woman looked at iiim. "Really, sir, you are very kind, but I have my purs*;," and she extended toward him a brand new article that had certainly just been taken from its paper wrapping. "I changed my money in this one," she continued, "and threw the old one away. You may have it K you like." Feathers for FUNIIIOII. Manufacturers of artificial birds buy directly from the farmers and make up their stock with no particular regard for the accurate representation of a species. Just at present the birds in fashion for mourning hats are small black parrots, and there are no such birds in nature. A fashion is in vogue to match the costume in the plumage of Ihe bird trimmings, and manufacturers v.se their best art to supply the demand. Sooner or later this fashion will be the means of establishing regular farms for the production of feathers for millinery purposes. CarlriK for Hindoo I>«•««!.

All of the I.nml I« Vol nirnk nml De«o lnte u» GrPrrnll) Sappoifil— \ ptft*tuil«iti lit Luxuriant. Thomas G. Allen, Jr., who, some years ago made a tour of the world awheel, has written an article on "The Boys of Siberia" for St. Nicholas. Mr. Allen says: "'As dreary and cold a* Siberia' is an expression that has come to be almost a proverb. The very name has always conjured up a scene of deso lation and perpetual winter, enlivened, perhaps, by a band of criminal exiles plodding along some lonely highway or practically buried alive in some gloomy mine pit. In imagination we have even Leard the clanking of prison chains, the moaning of suffering men, and the sobs of distressed women. And yet. however displeasing the picture which the name of Siberia never fails to con vey, its mysterious and melancholy as sociations have ever exerted a strange fascination. I must confess that I have been no exception to the general rule. At a very early age I developed the de sire to visit this mysterious country, and to discover for myself, if possibU, some of its terrible hidden secrets. "It has been my good fortune, on two recent occasions, to gratify this way ward ambition; and from what I saw and experienced 1 can assure my youth ful reader that his general gloomy i o tion about the 'land of snow aud exiles" is, in the main, incorrect —that there is another and a very brght side to the Siberian picture. "Xot raising the question of the de plorable Siberian exile system 1 won!' impress upon the reader that Siberia itself, in its southern portion at l<-a*t. is a region where the vegetation is as varied and luxuriant, where the bird warble just as sweetly where the chil dren play and the people laugh and sing just as cheerfully, as in our own country. In fact, that portion of Si beria which is now reached by the new Trans-Siberian railway might very just ly be called the northern 'promised land of milk and honey;' for in its teeming soil, genial summer climate, and fab ulous mineral wealth it is second to none in the world." THE FILIPINO CONGRESS. Description of ll* Open In it l»y the Fnmiius Innnrgpnt Leader, Aurninaldo. At last, to the sound of the national march, the delegates moved in a body to the door and then back again, di vided, and then Aguinaldo, looking very undersized and very insignificant, came marching down, bearing an ivory stick with gold head and gold cord and tassels, says Harper's Weekly. A group of tall, fine-looking generals and one or two dignitaries in black accom panied him. and half surrounded him as they walked along. Mounting the chancel steps. Aguinaldo took the mid dle seat behind the table, the acting secretary of the interior took the place on his right, and a general occupied the carved chair on his left. Without any formal calling to order, the secretary rose and read the list of delegates, and sat down again. Then Aguinaldo stood up, and after the feeble vivas had ceased, took a paper from his pocket, ar.d in a low voice, without gestures and without emphasis, and in the hesi tating manner of a schoolboy, read his message in the Tagalog language. Only once was he interrupted by vivas, and that was when he alluded to the three great free nations—England. France, and America —as worthy models for imitation. He next rend a purported translation in Spanish with even more difficulty, and when he had finished there was quite a round of cheers, pro posed and led by the veteran general, Uiiencamino. for the president, the re public, and victorious army, and tor the town of Malolos. Then Aguinaldo arose and declared the meeting ad journed until it should reassemble pre pared to elect officers and to organize in the regular manner. THREE FAMOUS STATUES.

The three most famous statues in his tory are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnou at Thebes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of its rroperty of emitting sounds when its lips were touched by the rays of the ris ing sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally a por trait model of King Ainenophis 111., and was one of a pair of statues between 60 and 70 feet high, carved out of single blocks of sandstone, and transported from the quarries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in situ. Of statues other than stone the most ! remarkable is that of Buddha at Xara, r.tar tic-to. in Japan, which was erected A I). 1100.

A man is never SJ embarassed as when he is expected to be sentimental over the telephone. Cyrano de Bergerac was wise not to get married. His wife would have had a snap leading him around by the nose. The wives of Siamese noblemen cut their hair so that it sticks straight up from their heads. The average length of it is about one and a half inches It is seriously proposed in a London newspaper that a man should take a wife on the same principle as he en gages a horse—for three, five or seven years, renewable at the husband's pleas ure. The idea was once discussed in Parliament. The Japanese make water bags of rice-paper, which are said to lie more durable, as well as less expensive, than similar articles made of rubber. Be tween the layers of paper, which is soft and flexible, resiu is used, and the out side is covered with lacquer.
