Who can tell the value of a smile?
It costs the giver nothing, bat it is be
yond price to the erring and relenting,
the sad and cheerless, the lost and for
saken. It disarms malic*, subdues tem.
per, turns hatred into love, revenge in
to kindness and paves the darkest paths
with gems of sunlight. A smile on the
brow betrays a kind heart, a pleasant
friend, an affectionate brother, a duti
ful son, a happy husband. It adds
charm to beauty, decorates the face of
the deformed and make; a woman re
semble an angel.—Ex.
—ln a medical article in one of the
magazines for this month the writer
tells of relieving a man of too much
water on the brain by tapping him at
the lower end of the backbone—the
theory or fact being that the brain and
spinal chord are connected and sur
rounded by a continuous cover or mem
brane, between which and the brain
and cord a certain amount of fluid is
necessary and natural. One of our
&ttoraevs, who read the article, thinks
that some of the noisy loafers about the
Conrt House should be tapped at the
same place.
—Red will annoy a tnrkey cock as
much as a bull, but a sparrow will not
let it disturb its mind. Bnt if one flirts
a blue rag in front of a sparrow's eyes
he will go frantic with disgust. Spar
rows and linnets, too. will refuse foo d
offered them on a piece of bine paper
and dislike the appearance of anyone
wearing a blue nress. Medium ligbt
blue affects them most and blue serge
they scarcely mind at all. Thrushes and
blackbirds object to yellow, but will
use red or blue dried grasses left about
their haunts to build the outer layers
oftheir nests. Yellow grasses they
will not use.
—On Saturday last J. W. Herron, A
Carnegie and Denny Breretou, trustees
of the Schenley estate in Pittsburg, sold
to the Nicola brothers and Chas. Don
nelly, several tracts of property near
the Schenley Hotel and new U. P.
church to the north of Fifth Ave. and
including the large field on the side of

of sth Ave. and Grant Boulevard, diag
onally across from the hotel, and the
adjoining lots, making 103 acres in all.
less the streets cut through it, for $3,-
000,000—the largest real estate deal ever
made in Pittsburg—or at the rate of
|20,126 per acre. The purchasers think
they got the property cheap, and in
tend putting seven millions more on it
in improvements.
—Allegheny, or at least Allegheny
politicians, kick on beiDg merged with
Pittsburg. Before the meeting of Mon
day night a circular was distributed
reading-
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native land!
My native Allegheny! Better be a
live dog than a dead lion. Must Alle
gheny lose her name and identity for
the vain glorification of Pittsburg'.'
Better be our own wheel than a spoke
in the wheel of someone else. Stand
pat for Great Allegheny!

The majority of showgoers are always
glad to hear a good minstrel show is

Porter J. White—March 10.
Porter J. White's favorite part is
Mephisto. He has studied and played
it for many years. As Mephistopheles
he comes before us arrayed in the natu
ral indelible deformity of wickedness;
he is the Devil, not of but
of knowledge. His wit and sarcasm are
unlimited; the cool, heartfelt contempt
with which he despises all things, hu
man and divine. make the fortune
of half a dozen "fellows about town."
Yet withal he is a devil in every deed;
a genuine Sou of Night.

Beef. ~.. and
iron Wine
This preparation is famous as a sys
tem builder and general tonic. Our
preparation differs from all others of
the same name, because we use pre
digested beef, the best sherry wine, and
the iron is in such form that it is quick
ly taken into the system. It is pleasant
to take and prompt in aotion, making
rich, red blood.
Do You Require a Tonic?
Are you weak, worn out, run down
and nervous? Is your blood thin and
impure? Are you pale and haggard,
lips white? Do you become exhausted
from every little effort, your sleep rest
less, your appetite poor? If you have
any of these symptoms use our Beef,
Iron and Wine. If the result is not
satisfactory we will gladly return your
money. Price. 50 cents a pint-
