What Hissing Signifies.
Hissing means different things ac- '
cording to where you happen to lie at 1
the time. In West Atrica tho na
tives hiss when they are astonished; '
in the New Hebrides when they see 1
anything beautiful. The Basutos '
applaud a popular orator in theii '
assemblies by hissing at him The '
Japanese, again, show their rever
ence by a hiss, which has probably , 1
somewhat the force of tho • hush" 1

other pills. Hence, their great popularity >
with sufferers from habitual constipation, t
piles and their attendant discomfort and
tuanifold derangements. The "Pellets" 1
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless <
in any condition of the system. No care is ,
required while using them: they do not
interfere with the diet, habits or occupa- '
lion, and produce no pain, griping 01 shock 1
to the system. They act in a mild, easy and j
natural way and there is 110 reaction after- ,
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and 1
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveuess. or '
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, 1

windy belchings, "heartburn," pain and

ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can 1
be truthfully said, that they are always ,
adopted as a household remedy after the
first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials, f
therefore always fresh and reliable. One \
little " Pellet" is a laxative, two are mildy
cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to promote
digestion, or to relu ve distress from over- !
eating, take one after dinner. They arc '

readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom

v{w/[ \ VvC Francisco,
tir jj 0 u one afternoon in
the summer of Vol. Although the oc
casion was an auction, tho bidders'
chances more .than usually hazardous,
and the seasqii and locality famous for
reckless speaillation, there was scarce
ly any excitement among tho bystan
ders, mid a/ lazy, half-humorous curi
osity scemtkl to have taken the place
of any zeatf for gain.
It was ai£ auction of unclaimed trunks
and box'jls—the personal luggage of
early em ygrante— which had been left
on storage in bulk or warehouse 111
San Francisco, while the owner was
see.iiug his fortune in the mines. The
difficulty and expense of transport,
often Obliging the gold seeker to make
part ol his journey 011 foot, restricted
niiu to the smallest impediments, and
that of a kind not often found iu the
luggage of ordinary civilization. As
a consequence, during tho emigration
of '4,), he was apt on landing to avail
hitnself of the invitation usually dis
play ed on some of the doors of the
nuUj hostelries on the shore, "Rest
for the Weary and Storage for
Trunks." In a majority of cases he
nevier returned to reclaim his stored
property. Enforced absence, pro
tracted equally by good or evil for
tune, accumulated the high storage
clyurges until they usually far exceeded
t lj('-' actual value of the goods; sickness,
ujtrther emigration or death also re-
duced tho number of possible claim
ants, and that more wonderful human
IJrailty—absolute forgetfillness of de
posited possessions—combined togeth
er to leave tho bulk of tho property
ju tho custodian k hands. Under an
Understood agreement they were al
ways sold at public auction after u
given time. Although the contents of
-some of tho trunks were exposed, it
was found more in keeping with pub
lic seutimeut to sell trunks locked and
unopened. The element of curiosity
was kept up from time to time by the
incautious disclosures of tho lucky or
unlucky purchaser, and general bid
ding thus encouraged— except when
the speculator, with the true gam
bling instinct, gave no indication in his
face of what was drawn in tbis lottery.
Generally, however, some suggestion
on the exterior of tho trunk, a label
or initials; some conjectural knowl
edge of its former owner, or the idea
that he might bo secretly present in
the hope of getting his property back
for lets than the accumulated dues,
kept up the bidding and interest.
A raodest-looking, well worn port
manteau had been just put up at a small
opening bid, when Hurry Flint joined
the crowd. The young man had ar
rived a week befdre at San Francisco
friendless and penniless and had been
forced to part with his own effects to
procure necessary food and lodging
while looking for employment. In
the irony of fate that morning the
proprietors of a dry goods store, struck
with his good looks und manners, had
offered him a situation if he could
make himself more presentable to their
client.--. Harry Flint was gazing half
abstractedly, half hopelessly, at the
portmanteau without noticing tho auc
tioneer's persuasive challenge. In his
abstraction he was not a ware that the
auctioneer's assistant was also looking
at him curiously, and that possibly his
dejected and half-clad appearance had
attracted the attention of one of the
cynical bystanders, who was exchang
ing a few words with tho assistant. He
was, however, recalled to himself a
moment later when the portmanteau
was knocked down lor $lO, and con
siderably shirt led when the assistant
placed it at his feet with a smile.
"That's your jjrojjerty, Fowler, and I
reckon von look as if you wanted it
back bad."
"But—there's some mistake," stam
mered Flint. "I didn't bid."
"No, but Tom Flynn did for you.
You see, i spotted you from the first,
and fold Flynn I reckoned you were
one of those chaps wiiu OAtne back from
the mines dead broke. And he up and
bought your things for you—like a
square man. That's Fiynn's style, if
he ;s a gambler."
"But, ' persisted Flint, "this never
was my property. My name isn't Fow
ler, and I never left amy thing here."
The assistant looked at him with a
glim,' half credulous, half' scornful
smile, "Have it your own way," he
stud, "but I oitgkter tell ye, old man,
that I'm the warehouse clerk, and I
remember you. I'm hero for that
purpose. Bat "\h at ~ y — —Mise is
bought and paid f \ ' la r vaody else
and given to you, itv 9 more to
me. Take or leavo X
The ridiculousness / quarreling
over the mere form of h.ig good fortune
here struck Flint, an*\ as his abrupt
benefactor had as 'Abruptly disap
peared, ho hurried off with his prize.
Reaching his cheap, lodging house ho
examined its consents. As ho had
surmised it contained a full suit of
clothing of the 'oetter sort, and suita
ble to his tfrbrin needs. There were a
few articles QJ£ jewelry, which ho put
religiously aside. There were some
letters, Which seemed to bo of a pure
ly business character. There were a
few daguerrotypes of pretty faces,
one of which was singularly fascinat
ing to him. But there was another
of a young man which startled him
'with its marvelous resemblance to
himself! In a flash of intelligence he
understood it all now. It was the
likeness of the former owner of the
trunk, for whom the assistant had ac
tually mistaken him! Ho glanced
hurriedly at the envelopes of the
letters. They were addressed to
Shelby Fowler, the name by which the
assistant had just called him. The
mystery was plain now. And for the
present ho could fairly accept his
good luck, and trust to later fortune
to justify himself.
Transformed in his now garb, he
loft his lodgings to present himself
once more to his possible employer.
His way led past one of the large gam
bling saloons. It was yet too early to
find tho dry goods trader disengaged;
perhaps tho consciousness of more re
cent, civilized garb emboldened him
to mingle more freely with strangers,
and lie entered tho saloon. Ho was
scarcely abreast of one of tho faro
tables when a man suddenly leaped up
with an oath and discharged a revol
ver in bis face. The shot missed. Bo
fore Liis unknown assailant could lire
again tho astonished Flint had closed
upon liim and instinctievly clutched
the weapon. A brief but violent
struggle ensued. Flint felt his
strength failing him, when suddenly
a look of astonishment came into the
furious eyes of his adversary, and the
man's grasp mechanically relaxed.
The half-freed pistol, thrown upwards
by this movement, was accidcntly
discharged point blank into his tem
ples, and lie fell dead. No one in the
crowd had stirred or interfered.
"You've done lor French Pete this
time, Mr. Fowler," said a voice at his
elbow. Ho turned gaspingly, and
recognized his strange benefactor,
Fiynn. "I call you to witness, gen
tlemen," continued the gambler, turn
ing dictatorially to the crowd, "that
this man was iirst attacked and was
unarmed." Ho lifted Flint's limp and
empty hands and then pointed to tho
dead man, who was still grasping the
weapon. "Come!" Ho caught the
half-paralyzed arm of Flint and
dragged him into the street.
"But," stammered the horrified
Flint, as he was borne Wong, "what
does it all mean! What made that
man attack me?"
"I reckon it was a case of shooting
on sight, Mr. Fowler; but he missed
it by not waiting to see rf you were
armed. It wasn't tho square thing,
and you're till right with tho crowd
now, whatever 110 might have had agin
you."
"But," protested tho unhappy
Flint, "J never laid eyes 011 tho man
before, ami my name isn't Fowler."
Flynn halted and dragged him in a
doorway. "Who are you?" he asked
roughly.
Briefly, passionately, almost hys
terically, Flint told him his scant
story. An odd expression came over
the gambler's face.
"Look here," he said abruptly. "I
have pasted my word to tho crowd
yonder that you are a dead broke
miner called Fowler. I allowed that
you might have had some row with
that Sydney cluck, Australian Pete, in
the mines. That satisfied them. If I
go back now, und say it's a lie, that
your name ain't Fowler, and you
never know who Pete was, they'll jest
pass you over to tho police to deal
with you, and wash their hands of it
altogether. You may provo to the
police who you are, and how that
clerk mistook you, but it will give
you trouble. And who is there here
who knows who you really are?"
"No one," said Flint, with sadden
hopelessness.
"And you say you are an orphan,
and ain't got any relations liviu' that
you're beholden to?"
"No one."
"Then take my advice, and bo Fow
ler, and stick to it! Be Fowler until
Fowler turns up and thanks you for
it, for you've saved Fowler's life, as
Pete would never have funked and
lost his grit, over Fowler us ho did
with you, and you've 11 right to his
name."
He stopped, and tho same odd,
superstitious look came into his dark
eyes.
"Don't you see what all that
means? Well, I'll tell you. You're in
the biggest streak of luck a man ever
had. You've got the cards in your
own hands! They spell 'Fowler!'
Play Fowler first, last, and all tho
time. Good-night, and good luck,
Mr. Fowler."
The next morning's journal con
tained an account of the justifiable
killing of the notorious desperado and
ex-eouviet, Australian Pete, by a
courageous young miner by tho name
of Fowler. "An act of firmness and
daring," said the Pioneer, "which
will go far to counteract the terror
ism produced by those lawless
ruffians."
In a new suit of clothes, and with
this paper in his hand, Flint sought
the dry goods proprietor—the latter
was satisfied and convined. That
morning Harry Flint began his career
as salesman and as "Shelby Fowler."
From that day Shelby Fowler's
carerr was one of uninterrupted pros
perity. Within the year he became a
partner. The same miraeulous for
tune followed other ventures later. |
He was mill owner, mine owner, bunt,
director—a millionaire ! He was pop
ular, the reputation of his brief
achievement over the desperado kept
him secure from the attack of euvy
and rivalry. J Ho never was confronted
by the real Fowler. There was no (
danger of exposure by others—the one
custodian of his secret, Tom Flynn,
died in Nevada the year following.
He had quite forgotton his youthful
past, nnd even the more recent lucky
portmanteau; remembered nothing,
perhaps, but the pretty face of the
daguerreotype that had fascinated
him. There seemed to be no reason
why he should not live and die as
Shelby Fowler.
His business a year later took him
to Europe. He was entering a train at
one of the great railway stations of
London, when the porter, who had
just deposited his portmanteau in n '
compartment, reappeared ut the win
dow, followed by a young lady in
mourning.
"Beg pardon, sir, but I handed you
the wrong portmanteau. That be
longs to this young lady. This is
yours."
Flint glanced at the portmanteau j
on the seat before him. It certainly |
was not his, although it bore the in
itials "S. F." He was mechanically
handing ifc back to the porter, when
his eyes rested 011 the young lady's
face. For an instant he stood petri
fied. It was the face of the daguer- j
reotype. "I beg pardon," he stam- j
inered, "but are these your intials?"
She hesitated, perhaps it was the '
abruptness of the question, but he saw
she looked confused.
"No. A friend's."
She disappeared into another car
riage, but from that moment Harry
Flint knew he had no other aim in
life but to follow this clue and the ,
beautiful girl who had dropped it. ;
He bribed the guard at the next sta- |
tion and discovered slio was going to 1
New York. Oil their arrival be was !
ready on the platform to respectfully ;
assist her. A few words disclosed the !
fact that she was a fellow country
woman, although residing in England,
and at present was on her way to joiu j
some friends at Harrogate. Her name :
was West. At the mention of his he
again fancied she looked disturbed. j
They met again and again ; the in
formality of his introduction was over
looked by her friends, as his assumed 1
name was already respectable aud re
sponsibly known beyond California. ;
He thought no more of his future. He !
was in love. Ho even dared to think I
it might bo returned; but ho felt he j
had no right to seek that knowledge I
until he had told her his real name J
and how ho came to assume another's, j
He did so alone—scarcely a month |
after their first meeting. To his
alarm she burst into a flood of tears I
and showed an agitation that seemed :
far beyond any apparent cause. When j
she had recovered she said in a low, 1
frightened voice:
"You are bearing my brother's j
name. But it was a name that the |
unhappy boy had so shamefully dis- I
graced in Australia that he abandoned '
it, and, as he lay upon his death bed, ''
the last act of his wasted life was to '
write an imploring letter begging me
to change mine, too. For the in
famous companion of his crime, who
had tirst tempted, then betrayed him,
had possession of all his papers and
letters, many of them from me, and
was threatening to bring them to our
Virginia home and expose him to our
neighbors. Maddened by desperation,
the miserable bov twice attempted
the lite of the scoundrel, and might
have added that blood guiltiness to
his other sins had he lived. I did !
change my name to my mother's |
maiden one, left too country, aud have j
lived hero to escape tho revelations of f
that desperado should ho fulfill his
threat."
In a flash oi' recollection Flint re- !
membered the startlod look that had
come into his assailant's eye after they '
had clinched. It was tho samo man !
who had too late realized that his an
tagonist was not Fowler. "Thank ;
God! you are forever safe from any
exposure from that man," he said,
gravely, "and the name of Fowler has
never been known in San Francisco
save in all respect and honor. It is
for you to tako back—fearlessly aud !
alone!"
She did—but not alone, for she
shared it with her husband. -New
York Advertiser.
Grasshoppers for Bait.

siring soino bait for that purpose, sta
tioned a boy 011 the cowcatcher of the
engine 011 tho way up to the front of

tho mouth of which was distended
with a hoop. As the grasshoppers
would rise bot'oro tiio engine, flying to
one side, the boy would hold out the
sack and scoop them in, thus being
able to swoop down upon tho unsus
pecting hoppers with the power and

TIIE REMEDIAL USES OF AITLES.
In ail temperate climates the apple j
grows freely, und might be obtained !
in practically unlimited quantities.
That it is not more used than it is is
probably due to tho fact that, being ,
so plenty, it is undervalued. Yet al
most every one likes the fruit in some
fashion, and it should form a part of
i.t least two meals out of every three
during the year round ; for even when .
the fresh fruit is not in season, canned, ■
dried or "evaporated" apples may al
ways be had.
"Chemically," says a writer in the j
North American Practitioner, "the
apple is composed of vegetable fibre, j
albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, i
malic acid, gallic acid, lime and water, i
Furthermore, the German analysts say
that the apple contains a larger per
centage of phosphorus than any other \
fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing tho
essential nervous matter —lecithin—
of the brain and spinal cord. It is j
perhaps for this reason—though but |
rudely understood —that the old Scan- I
dinavian traditions represent theapple 1
as the food of the gods who, when |
the}' felt themselves to be growing
feeble and infirm, resorted to this 1
fruit to renew their powers of mind I
and body."
Not only the phosphorus, but the
acids of the apple are of singular use
for persons of sedentary habits, .
whose livers are apt to be too slow of
action. These acids aid the liver in
its work of eliminating from tho body !
the noxious matters which, if retained, I
would make the brain heavy aud dull, j
or, in time, would cause rheumatism,
jaundice, or skin eruptions, and other
allied troubles.
The malic acid of apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutralize auy excess
of chalky matter engendered by eating
too much meat.
Hipe apples are probably the least
fermentable of all fruits, excopt, pos
sibly, the banana. For this reason
ripe atul sound apples may be eaten
by most persons in even the hottest
weather ; but even the apple is safest |
when cooked.
We have the support of eminent j
medical authority in saying that the j
most healthful way to cook apples is
to pare aud core thorn, and bake in a
moderate oven. It the apple is of u
quite sour variety it may be necessary !
to add a little sugar, putting about u
Baltspoonful in the hollow whence the i
core was extracted. The next best way |
to cook them is stewing. Contrary to
common belief, apples baked in their
skins are the least healthful of cooked
apples.—Harper's Bazar.
