A Fortunate Dismissal. Thirty years ago a young man named Samuel M. Bryan, a clerk in the postoffice department at Washington, received notice that his services were no longer need ed. Incompetency was the rea son given for his dismissal. When he looked over his stock in trade he found that it consisted of something less than a hundred dollars in cash and a great idea. A week later he was on his way to San Francisco, one good-natured postal clerk after another al lowing him to ride in his car. On reaching San Francisco he secur ed a place as purser on a steam ship bound for Japan, and, in due time, found himself in Tokio. Once in Japan's chief city, he proceeded without delay to put his great idea into execution. What he proposed was to perfect and put in operation, in Japan, a postal system modeled after that of the United States. Bryan found willing listeners among the high Japanese officials, and, in due time was requested to pre pare a prospectus of his system to be submitted to the Mikado. Its value was at once recognized, and its adoption ordered. Bryan was placed at the head of eleven thousand dollars a year, and en trusted with the negotiation of a postal treaty between Japan and the United States. A few months later he was back in Washington as the envoy of the Japanese gov ernment, treating on equal terms with the man who had dismissed him for incompetence. The treaty which he negotiated with skill and diplomacy, proved sat isfactory to all concerned. Bryan remained some fifteen years in the service of the Japanese gov ernment. He then returned to the United States a rich man. It is interesting to conjecture what his career might have been had he not lost his place in the postoffice department. Tot Causes Night Alarm. "One night my brother's baby was taken with Croup," writes Mrs. J. C. Snider, of Crittenden, Ky., "it seemed it would strangle before we could get a doctor, so we gave it Dr. King's New Dis covery, which gave quick relief and permanently cured it. We always keep it in the house to protect our children from Croup and Whooping Cough. It cured me of a chronic bronchial trouble that no other remedy would re lieve."

Tho editor of the Collom Chron iclo philosophizes in the following vein: "You're not so many if you'll pause a moment to remem ber that from the sunrise of youth to tho sunset of old age, life's journey is ever dotted by vanities and follies. In youth they are impulsive and thought less,. iu middle ago they are ting ed with haughty cynicism, in old age they take expression from embarrassed memories and senile doubts. All in all, men has not much of which to boast. In youth he is a fool and does not know it.

One-half the world's production of coffee berries is brought to the Uuited States. Americans are the greatest coffee-drinkers on the face of the globe now, and every year tho consumption of coffee is increasing here. Last year it was more than 800, 000,000 pounds for the whole country, or morothan 104 pounds a head of the population. Ger many and France together only consumed half as much coffee, Germany less than 6i pounds a head, and France only 4J pounds per capita. The United Kingdom used lit tle more than half a pound of the berries per head of the popula tion, but over there they made up for it by drinking more tea than any other nation. More than a million dollars is spent out of the United States every week in payment for coffee. South and Central American countries, which supply us with more than 600,000,000 pounds of coffee a year, get most of the money. Porto Rico, Java and the Fhilappines get almost all the rest, but a little goes to Hawaii, where they produce a very superi or brand of coffee berry. Last year the total value of the coffee imported into tho United States was about $00,000,000, and that was less than for several years, because the import price of coffee has fallen about one-half. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys.

This depends alone upon your conduct. Perhaps some do not understand the meaning. And some may think character and reputation are of the same mean ing. Reputation is what others think of you. Character is what you really are. One must be careful of his ac tions for it depends upon your actions what your reputation is. Most people have good reputa tions why? Because their char acter is of quality. Do not all boys and girls, who respect their el ders have the best reputation. You must have a good heart in order to earn other people's re spect In order to have a good heart one must be kind and un selfish, truthful, humble, gener ous, modest, gentle and sincere. Any person yearning for fame must first earn a good reputation. Any one with a bad reputation is sure to have a bad character, un less a mistake is made and a per son is misjudged, which some times happens. Your character is shown in your actions, whether good or bad. We must now sow good seed if we wish to gather good fruit, "For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. " A person with a bad character can never associate with good and respectable people. A person with a good character has a good reputatiou, and will always find loving friends wherever he goes. Any ono with a bad disposition, who is boisterous and unruly will never earn a good reputatiou. Let us build up our character of good material and earn a good reputation. Riverside. "I had long suffered from in digestion," writes G. A. LeDels, Cedar City, Mo. "Like others I tried many preparations but nev er found anything that did rne good until I took Kodol Dyspep sia Cure. One bottle cured me. A friend who had suffered simi larly I put on the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. He is gaining fast and will soon be able to work. Before he used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure indigestion had made him a total wreck. Trout's drug store.

Professor Dixou of Yale, who has been camping on Indian Creek, in Colorado, has demon strated the possibility of welding two snakes together so that their bodies will uuite and coutiuue to grow as one. . While it was admitted that hu man parts could be made to grow together, it has boon contended that the sluggish circulation of reptiles would militate against such a process in their case. The rattler was extended with an iron hook encircling his head. An adder was obtained and cut in two. The rattler was treated in the same way. The tail of the adder was tlieu sowed to the rat tler with a strong thread, and af ter twenty-four hours the irou collar was removed and the com posite reptile was put into a cage, where ho squirmed around with every evidence of vitality. Although the customary warn ing rattle was absent on its new tail, the supply of virus was not diminished by his curtailment, for when he struck a rabbit, the latter began to swell, aud in an hour was dead. The metamor phosed rattler will be kept under scientific scrutiny for the next few months. New York Times. C. M.

A . traveler in tho Southern States tells of a novel way of catching hawks, common in that section of the country. He says it consists of an ordinary steel trap, not too large, mounted on the top of a common fence rail or a long polo set tirmly in the ground. It is best locntod on some moderately high point in tho middle of a wide field, where there are no trees or other-objects upon which a bird may light. No bait is needed. The tra-p is simply opened on top of th" pole, where the bird sets it off and is caught in the act of alighting. Of course the trap must, bo firmly secured to the pole. The device is based on the principle that birds of habitually light on prominent objects in large open spaces, where they will have a good outlook for game. A trap well placed will, during one season, catch all tho hawks within;! radius of several miles. Owls and other large birds are nlso freijuently found in the trap. The longer and more substantial the pole tho better it is. The Building of Character. To tho geologist tho east coast of Florida is ono of tho most in teresting portions of the earth's .surface. In the eyes of science it wasMjut yesterday when the surf boat on what is now the wes tern shore of the St. John's river. To the eastward of this line the corals built a long bar; gradually this caught the earth washed from the shore, and on this plants grew and then trees. This made o the St. John's a long salt-water lagoon. As the coast widened, aud the coral worked, the lagoon tilled in and drainage from both sides made it fresh. So charac ter is built up. For good or ill, our thoughts and meditations are leaving their sediment in our hearts, and as wo meditate and muse in certain lines, a reef is thrown out that catches the wash of our thinking and doing, until after a while it becomes the bed rock principle on which we think and act. So make sure of a good character oue must be certain to keep guard over the thoughts. Dr. A. E. Hanks. One Too Many. A good story is going the rounds of tho office of the Met ropolitan Street Kail way company concerning the wonderful pres ence of mind displayed recently by a new conductor on one of the company's trolley cars. This particular car was bowling 'up Fifth avonuo recently when it was hailed and boarded by a company inspector. Tho official hurriedly counted tho passengers in the car and found that there were nine. Then he cast his eye up. to the register, which iu these cars is fastened to tho woodwork above the door, and found that there had been only eight fares rung up. llo disclosed his identity to tho new conductor and called atten tion to the discrepancy. SJowly aud painfully the new hand counted over his pasengers aud then scanned his register. "Hegorra, an you're roight sir," ho said, aud promptly stop ped tho car.
