DALY AND HACKMAN. Sow Story Told of the Late Montana Copper fvlufi;. When Marcus Daly was in Wash ington last it is told that he performed a humane act which very nearly brought a brutal hack driver into the police court, and was a topic of con versation at the hotel and other place 3 which Daly frequented. The story es caped the vigilance of the local news paper fraternity, and is here published for the firs', time. Dnly was coming out of Chamberlain's one morning when he espied a negro hackman brutally belaboring a crippled old horse with a heavy whip in an almost futile effort to increase its speed from a walk to a slow trot, says the Wash ington Post. Daly hailed the driver, who quickly drew rein and approached the curb with the prospects of obtain ing a fare. "Where do you want to . go to. boss?" inquired the negro. "I'll want to go with you to the police court if you don't stop beating that poor old horse," replied the millionaire. "You could coax the nag along faster with a handful of oats and a wisp of hay in front of him than you can by beating him from behind. When did you feed ' him last?" The negro complained that times >yere hard, that fares were scarce and that he could not afford to pro vide better for his horse. Daly saw the force of the argument at once and inquired how much the cabman aver aged a week, and was told that $8 or $lO was considered a good wage. Daly reached down in his vest pocket and drew forth a roll of bills, from which he peeled a S2O note and handed it to the astonished negro. "There, take that," said the copper king, "and put that rack of bones in the barn and treat him to a banquet of hay and corn nnd if 1 see you with him on the streets in the next two week 3 I'll have you arrpßt erl " PUTNAM FADELESS DYES do not spot, ulrcnb nr give your goods ftn unevenly dyed appe.ir •licc.

What suffering frequently results from a mother's ignorance; or more frequently from a mother's neglect to properly instruct her daughter 1 Tradition says "woman must suf fer," and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young * woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion ; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. l'inkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Miys. Pinklium's address is Lynn, Mass. | "| | Mrs. August Pfalzgraf. of South B.vron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote Mrs. Pinlcham in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irregular menstruation had headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swell, and was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied with advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing in the world equals Mrs. Pinkliam's great medicine for regu lating woman's peculiar munthly troubles. Jk household 1 Compote of Oranges. To prepare a compote of oranges,' pare, slice and remove the seeds from j six large oranges.

Chicken broth and meat juices—the i diet usually recommended for "grip patients' soon becomes tiresome I when regularly served as a hot broth or soup; and the same amount of nour ishment may be served in a much more appetizing manner in the form of jel lies. Chicken jelly alone may be served in a variety of ways. Pieces of the while meat of the fowl may be cut and put into a jelly glass and the Hquid jelly poured over them. When cold it is appetizing sliced and pul between thin slices of bread, buttered, and with the crust taken oft", or serve slices of jellied chicken with toasted crackers. To make the jelly take a fowl weigh ing about Ihvee pounds. Clean and re move the skin and fat.

"H ring oft' lops and tap-root instead of cutting, so the beets will not bleed too much in cooking. 801 l until very tender, and he sure the water Is not too salty; drop in cold water, peel and set on lee until wanted. They inny be served in a dozen ways, sliced with vinegar, as a salad, or made very hot and dressed with melted butter and lemon juice. Do uot mistake melted butter for drawn butter. Anything with flour iu it spoils a beet. Melt the butter with a very little hot water, say a tcaspoonful to the tablespoonful of butter. Beat iu the lemon juice thor oughly, adding a dnsli of white aud cayenne pepper, also n little sugar, un less the beets are very sweet. By choosing red and yellow beets of equal size and shape, slicing them in half lengthwise and arranging them to al ternate around the dish, you may make it very decorative. Another way is to make a rich meat gravy by stewing half a pound of round steak to rags In a pint of water, taking out the meat, then thickening the liquor with a tu blespoonful each of butter and cream, and pour it over the sliced beets, after which tlmy must be baked for ten min utes in a very hot oven. Dust with white pepper just as they go to table, •nd either servo with quartered lemon tir squeeze a lemon over the dish. Chipped Beef and Mushrooms—Put into a saucepan, with enough cold water to cover it. one-quarter pouud of finely shaved dried beef. Let come to a boil, theu drain off and add one level tablespoonful butter and two shakes of paprika. Have ready on a hot platter a half-dozen nicely broiled large mushrooms. Put ou each of these a shake of paprika aud a few drops of lemon juice, also sprinkle over all a quarter-teaspoon salt. Turn over these the beef and gravy, and, if liked, add four tablespoons sweet cream, serving hot. Cabbage with Cheese—Cut the cab bage iu good-sized pieces.

RED SEA EMERALD MINES. Known as Cleopatra'* Mine* and Worked by the Itoinnn*. What are known as the emerald mines of Cleopatra lie in the mountain range that extends for n long distance parallel to the Red Sea, and a few leagues west of its const, in the lati tude rather south of Kofu, ou the Nile. This, like some other parts of the re gion—such as the porphyry quarries of Jebel Dokham—was far better known than it is now, nud more thick ly populated, about twenty centuries ngo. and only during the present one, so far as we know, have isolated ex plorers at long Intervals found their way into the treasure houses of ancient. Egypt. When its rulers first used the emer ald for personal adornment Is uncer tain. Whether the large, clear green stones which, according to ancient au thorities, ornamented the Egyptian temples were really emeralds is a mat ter of dispute, but as this gem—owing to its regular shape, which is common ly a six-sided prism—with its beautiful tint, stands less in need of the lapid ary's art than many others, it probably formed part of the regalia of princes at a very early period. That it was known to the Romans Is certain, and the mines now revisited used to send their treasures to the gem cutters of the capital. Ever since then the stone has been highly esteemed. These mines of the Northern Etlibai seem to have remained untouched since the decline and fall of Rome caused them to be deserted. Accord ing to Mr. MacAllister, the workings are only small passages, hardly more than burrows, excavated in the emer ald bearing cyst and sometimes ex tending for a long distance. Many scattered ruins may also bo seen—dwellings, watch towers and tombs, besides those of the fen settle ments. In these, no doulit, the mining population used to live, and the differ ence in style suggests they were occu pied for a long time. Some are mere hovels, very roughly built; others show a more careful construction, while a third group are well finished. Mr. MacAllister also found three rock-cut temples, for the soft stone lends itself to that kind of architecture. lie thinks that their pillars, though very primi tive in style, indicate Egyptian designs, with traces of Greek influence. One, indeed, contains a crumbling inscrip tion in that language. Broken pottery, sometimes orna mented, is abundant, hut there is no evidence that the neighborhood at tracted visitors for any but business purposes. Notwithstanding this there was in those times a settled instead of a nomal population, and travelers once must have been rather frequent, for in one place many drawings of per sons, animals and tribal marks are scratched upon the rocks. Some of the figures evidently are much older than others, hut as a whole they recall to memory the Siuaitic inscriptions, which some forty years ago were be lieved to lie memories of the wander ings of the Israelites. Geographical Journal. Girls ami Their Feet. "Girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen generally have big feet," said a fashionable shoemaker, "and they are at such periods of their lives disposed to he fat and flabby, hut at twenty-two a remarkable change takes place. The foot then completely sub sides, the flabbiuess disappears, the flesh of the foot becomes firmer, the muscles and tendons get stronger and the bones become well set. Altogether a great difference is noticeable. "Yes; we have great difficulty with girls o!' about seventeen or thereabouts, for then they require a shoe as large as a full-grown woman. When they get older and the foot becomes settled now boots made on the old last will be found too large, and It is only when the young ladies complain that their new shoes are too oig that we know the foot has undergone the change just described. Then explanations have to be given, but the shoemaker i.vesn't mind this so much, for a wom an as she grows older likes to be told that her foot is getting smaller. "After forty the feet of a woman go hack to the fat and flabby state, and herein grows the trouble for the shoe maker, who lins to state in explana tion why the Inst pair of shoes do not tit, that the cause lies in the fact that ber feet are getting bigger. "No, I don't think that cycling in creases the size of a girl's foot. True, one or two of our lady cycling cus tomers have asked us to make their new boots a shade larger, but this difficulty is gotten over by making them 'full.' We have never altered the length."—Washington Star. (jucer Aftinities in Names. The mysterious affinity sometimes existing between a man's name and his trade is a peculiarity often noticed by those who nave to do with business directories.

Howard Gregg, of San Francisco, who spent several years in Johannes burg. says that the Boer Is not fight ing for a hopelessly lost cause. By that, he continued, I do not mean that he will again occupy the position he did prior to the commencement of hos tilities, but I am inclined to the opin ion that sooner or later a peace will be declared, in which greater or less freedom and independence to the Boers as a nation will bo guaranteed. Cer tainly Edward VII. 's proclamation naming Milner as a paramount lord of the Transvaal would seem to point In this direction. If England doesn't compromise with the Boers they will make her tenure of the country a dis agreeable and expensive thing. I be lieve they can keep up the guerilla sys tem of warfare they have embarked on for years, and so long as any of them are left in the field bearing arms England will be forced to maintain a heavy military establishment in South Africa, so heavy indeed, that it will soon prove a heart-breaking strain to the taxpayers.

The Complaint of Thousands upon Thousands. Health and Strength are Within Your Grasp. Dr. Greene's Nervura Makes You Strong and Well. It is the Great Restorative of Brain and JMerves. Oh. those nerves of ours, how they do bother us! Weak, tired, and ner vous is the complaint everywhere. We overwork, dissipate, weaken our bodies, ruin our health, and finally break down. Sleeplessness and indi gestion are early symptoms, for the nerves are too exhausted and irritable to permit rest, and the stomach too weak to digest food. It is nerve and brain exhaustion which makes the brain tired, and the arm nerveless, the limbs trembling, the muscles weak, and the whole body without strength, energy or ambition. It is loss of nerve aud vital power which is slowly but surely sapping the very life itself, and unless help is sought from the right source, the end will be shattered nerves, insanity with softening of the brain, nervous pros tration, heart failure, paralysis or pre mature death. Beware of such symptoms! A well known druggist, Charles W. Eggles ton, 329 Park Avenue, Worcester, Mass., suffered from nervous prostra tion and all its terrible symptoms. He writes the following letter telling what he knows is the best way to get well. "Some time ago I was taken with nervous prostration, I suffered terribly with my nerves and could get no sleep at all. I became fearfully exhausted, my stomach was in terrible condition from dyspepsia, and I could eat hardly anything. "I used several medicines hut with out benefit. Being in the drug busi ness myself, and having had many customers speak in the highest terms of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try it. After taking only one-half bottle I be gan to feel much better. "I slept soundly at. night, and my appetite was splendid. After taking three bottles. I ate three square meals a day, and had not the slightest dis tress. My nerves were perfectly strong and I felt like a new man, being com pletely cured of all my troubles. "Out of the respect I bear the manu facturersof Dr.Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and my desire to have the sick and suffering made well and strong. I unhesitatingly say that this medicine Is the best and most wonderful romedv known todav. "It does just what is said of it, it cures disease. Don't hesitate to use it. sufferers, for you will never regret it. You will be made well and strong." As this letter is from a dealer in medicine, his word is authority on such matters. Everybody knows that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the great leading medicine of the age. Take It and vou will be made strong, healthy and vigorous. Doctors recommend It because it is the prescription of a physician, and because they know it cures. Dr. Greene, the most successful spe cialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, discovered it.
