HOLLAND CITY.18!J3 and 181)4 have boon “calamity years” for real estate and all kinds of busi-

ness, but the sun has broken through the clouds and brighter days are dawning.

Holland during the late financial cyclone has grown faster than any other Mich-igan city and real estate has held its value.

THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for getting the advance in real estate, whichmust result from now business blocks, new factories, now men and hotter timesin my judgment has arrived. Dr. A. C. Van Raalte after the “great fire” whenour people were passing through great trials, said:- “Some day a large oitvwould grow up hero at the head of Black Lake and then I will eventually bethankful for selecting this site for a large city.” The language was prophetic.

New York, May 12.— In his nudionces nt tho Academy of Music Dr. Tnl

mage meets many Imudrcds of youngmen from different parts of tho Union,

and representing almost every callingand profession in life. To them ho spe-cially addressed his discourse this after-

noon, tho subject being “Words withYoung Men. ”„ Favette, 0.Revekkm) Sia-Wc, tho undonlgnod, being

Those six young men, I suppose, rep-

-•osont iunmnerahie young men who areabout undertaking tho battle of life, andwho have more interrogation points intheir mind than tuiy printer’s case overcontained, or printer's Angara over set

up. But few people who have passed 50years of age are capable of giving advice

to young men. Too many begin theircounsel by forgetting they over woreyoung men themselves. November snowsdo not understand May time blossomweek. Tho ejust wind never did under-stand the south wind. Autumnal golden-rod makes a poor fist at lecturing aboutBurly violets. Generally, after a manhas rheumatism in his right foot ho isnot competent to discuss juvenile elas-ticity. Not one man out of a hundredcan enlist and keep tho attention of tho

young after there is a bald spot on thocranium.

I attended u largo meeting in Phila-delphia assembled to discuss how thoYoung Men's Christian association ofthat city might Iw made more attractive

for young people, when a man arose andmade some suggestions with such lugu-brious tone of voice and a manner thatseemed to deplore that everything wasgoing to ruin, when an old friend ofmine, at 75 years ns young in feeling as

any one at 20, arose and said, “Thatgood brother who has just addressedyon will excuse mo for saying that ayoung man would no sooner go and spendan evening among such funereal tonesof voice and funereal ideas of religion

which that brother seems to have adopt

ed than ho would go and spend tho evening in Laurel Hill cemetery. ” And yetthese young men of Ohio and all youngmen have a right to ask those who havehad many opportunities of studying thisworld and tho next world to give help-ful suggestion as to what theories of lifeone ought to adopt and what dangers lie

ought to shun. Attention, young men.First, get yonr soul right. Yon see,

that is tho most valuable part of you.It is tho most important room in yourhouse. It is the parlor of your entirenature. Put tho best pictures on itswalls. Put the best music under itsarches. It is important to have tho kitch-

en right, and tho dining room right, andtho cellar right, and all tho other roomsof your nature right ; but, oh ! the par-

lor of tho soul! Bo particular about tho

guests who enter it. Shut its doors intho faces of those who would despoiland pollute it. There are princes andkings who would like to come into it,while there are assassins who wouldlike to come cut from behind its cur-tains, and with silent foot attempt thedesperate and murderous. Let tho kingcome in. Ho is nor,- at tho door. Let1110 Ijo usher to announce his arrival,and introduce tho king of this world,tho king of all worlds, the king eternal,

immortal, invisible. Make room. Standback. Clear tho way. Bow, kneel, wor-ship tho king. Have him once for yourguest, and it docs not make much differ-ence who comes or goes. Would youhave a warrantee against moral disaster

and surety of a noble career? Read atleast one chapter of the Bible on yourknees every day of your life.

Word tho next: Have your body right.“How are yon?” I often say when Imeet a friend of mine in Brooklyn. Heis over 70, and alert and vigorous, andvery prominent in the law. His answeris, “I am living on the capital of a wellspent youth.” On tho contrary, thereare hundreds of thousands of good peo-

ple who are suffering tho results of earlysins. Tho grace of God gives ono a nowheart, but not a new body. David, thoPsalmist, had to cry out, “Remembernot the sins of my youth. ” Let a youngman make his body a wine closet, or arum jug, or a whisky cask, or a boorbarrel, and smoko poisoned cigarettesuntil his band trembles, and ho is black

under tho eyes, and his cheeks fall in,

many a time just lief ore going to th«parallel bars and punching bags andpullios and weights, I thought Satanw>iit about taking possession of societyand tho church and tho world, but aftoi

one hour of climbing and lifting andpulling I felt like hastening home so a*to bo there \vhon*tho millennium sot in.

Take a good stout run every day. I findin that habit, which I have kept upsince at 18 years I read tho aforesaidTodd’s Manual, more reeuiwratiou than

in anything else. Those six men of Ohicwill need all passible nerve and all pas-

sible eyesight and all possible muscular

development before they get through theterrific struggle of this life.

Word tho next : Take care of your in-tellect. Hero comes tho flood of novel-

ettes, 5)9 out of 100 belittling to everyono that opens them. Here come de-praved newspapers, submerging goodami elevated American journalism. Here

comes a whole perdition of printedabomination, dumped on tho breakfasttable and tea table and parlor table.Take at least one good newspaper withable editorial and reporters’ columnsmostly occupied with helpful intelli-gence, announcing marriages and deaths

and reformatory and religions assem-blages, and charities bestowed, and tho

doings of good people, and giving butlittle place to nasty divorce cases, and

stories of crime, which, like cobras,sting those that touch them. Oh, formore newspapers that put virtue inwhat is called great primer typo andvice in nonpareil or agate !

You have all seen the photographer’snegative. Ho took a picture from it tenor 20 years ago. Yon ask him now for apicture from that same negative. Hoopens the great chest containing theblack negatives of 1885 or 1875, and he

reproduces tho picture. Young men,your memory is made up of tho nega-tives of an immortal photography. Allthat you see or hear goes into your soul

to make pictures for the future. Youwill have with you till tho judgmentday tho negatives of all the bad pictures

you have ever looked at, and of all the

debauched scenes you have read about.Show mo tho newspapers you take andthe books yon rend, and I will toll vonwhat are your prospects for well beingin this life, and what will be your resi-doiro a million years after the star on

which wo now live shall have dropped•mt of » ho constellation. I never travel

on Sunday unless it be a case of neces-sity or meroy. But last autumn I wasin India in a city plague struck. By thohundreds the people vm-o down withfearful illness. Wo went to tlio apothe-cary's to get some preventive of tho fe-ver, and the place was crowded W’ith in-

valids, and wo had no confidence in thopreventive wo purchased from tho Hin-

doos. The mail train was to start Sab-bath evening. I said, “Frank, I thinktho Lord will excuse us if we got out ofthis place with tho first train,” and wotook it, not feeling quite comfortabletill we wore hundreds of miles awav. Ifelt we were right in flying from* theplague. Well, tho air in many of ourcities is struck through with a worseplague — the plague of corrupt and dam-nable literature. Get away from it assoon as possible. It has already muredtho bodies, minds and souls;of a imlti-

tudo which, if stood4w«olkl •c-'il&un,would reach from New York Battery toGolden Horn. The plague I The plague !

Word the next: Never goto anyplacewhere you would bo ashamed to die.Adopt that plan, and you will never goto any evil amusement, nor bo found incompromising surroundings. How manystartling cases within the past few years

of men called suddenly out of thisworld, iuid tho newspapers surprised us

when they mentioned tho locality andthe companionship. To put it on theleast important ground,, you ought notto go to any such forbidden place, be-cause if you depart this life in such cir-

cumstances you put officiating ministers,

in great embarrassment. You know thatsome of the ministers- believe* that allwho leave this life go. straight to heav-en, however they have acted in thisworld, or whatever they have believed..

To get you through from such snrronnd-

mgs is an appalling theological under-taking. Ono of tho most arduous andbesweating efforts of that kind that Iever knew of was at the obsequies of aman who was found dead, in a snow-bank with his rum jug close beside him*But tho minister- did the work of happytransference as well as possible, although

it did seem a little inappropriate whenho read: “Blessed mo tho dead who diein tho Lord. They rest from their la-bors, and their works do follow them.”

If you have no mercy upon yourself havemercy upon tho minister who may bocalled to officiate aftery our demise. ’Dioat home, or in some place of honestbusiness, or where the laughter iacloau,

or amid companionships pure awl elevat-

ing. Remember that any place wo goto may become our starting point forthe next world. When wo entorthe liar-

Word tho next: Do not postpone toolong doing something decided for God,humanity and yourself. The greatestthings have boon done before 40 yearsf f ago. Pascal at 10 years of age, Gro-tius at 17, Romulus at 20, Pitt at 22,Whitcficld at 24, Bonaparte at 27, Igna-

tius Loyola at 30, Raphael at 37, hadmade tho world feel their virtue or theirvice, and the biggest strokes you willprobably make for tho truth or againstthe truth will bo before you reach themeridian of life. Do not wait for some-

thing to turn up. Go to work and turnit up. There is no such thing as goodluck. No man that ever lived has hada better time than I have had; yet Inever had any good luck. But insteadthereof, a kind Providence has crowdedmy life with mercies. Yon will neveraccomplish much ns long as yon go atyour work on tho minute you nro ex-pected and st op at the first minute it islawful to quit. Tho greatly useful andsuccessful men of the next century- willbo those who began half an hour beforethey were required and worked at leasthalf an hour after they might have quit.

Unless yon are willing .sometimes towork 12 hours of tho day you will re-main on the low levels, and yonr lifewill bo a prolonged humdrum.Word tho next: Remember that. it ia

only a small part of our life that wo arcto pass on earth. Less than your fingernail compared with your whole body istho life ou earth when compared withtho next life. I suppose there are notmoro than half a dozen people in thisworld 100 years old. But a very fewpeople in any country reach 80. Tho ma-jority of tho human race expire before30.

get ready for tho ono mile this side the

marble slab, but moro important to getfixed up for tho interminable mileswhich stretch out into tho distances be-

yond tho marble slab. A few years agoou. tho Nashville and New Orleans rail-road wo were waked np early in themorning, and told we must take «ur-riages for some distance. “Why?” weall asked. But wo soon saw for our-selves that, while tho first four or five

spans of tho bridge wero up, farther onthere was a span that had fallen,. andwe could not but shudder at what mighthave been tho possibilities. When yonrrail train starts on a long bridgc'yonwant to bo sure that tho first span of the

bridge is all right, but what if fartheron there is a span of tho bridge that isall wrong; how then? what then?. Inone of tho western cities tho freshetshad carried away a bridge, and a manknew Unit tho express train would sooncome along. So ho lighted a lantern andstarted up the track to stop the train.But before ho had got far enough nptho track tho wind blew out the light of

his lantern, and standing in the dark-ness as tho train came up ho threw tholantern into tho locomotive, crying,“Stop! Stop!” And the warning wasin time to halt tho train. And if anyof you by evil habits ore hastening on

toward brink or precipice or fallen span,

I throw this Gospel lantern at yourmud career: Stop! Stop! The end there-of it death ! Young man,, you tiro eugednow by many environments, but youwill after awhile got your wings out .

Some one caged a Rocky Mountaineagle and kept him shut up betweenthe wires until all the spirit and cour-

age had gone out of it. Released onoday from the cage, the eagle seemed towant to ret urn to itsfonuor prison. Thofact was that the eagle had all gone out

of him. He kept Jus wings down. Butafter awhile he looked up at tho sun,turning his head first this side and then

that side, and then spread one wing amithen tho other wing, and begun tomount, until the hills wore fur underhis feet, and he was out of sight in theempyrean. My brother, when you leavethis life, if by the grace of God you areprepared, you will come out of the cageof this hindering mortality, and looking

up to tho heavenly heights you willspread wing for immortal flight, leav-ing sun and moon and stars beneath inyour ascent to glories that never fade

You six young men of Ohio, and allthe other young men, instead of wast-ing your time on dry essays ns to howto* do great things, go to tho biograph-ical alcove of your village or city library,

and acquaint yourselves with men whoin the sight of eartli and heaven andhell did the gioat things. Rememberthe greatest things arc yet to bo done.If the Bible bo true, or as I had betterput it,, since tho Bible is beyond all con-

troversy true, the greatest battle is yet

to bo fought, and compared with it Sar-agossa and Gettysburg and Sedan were-child’s play with toy pistols. We evenlaiow the name of tho battle, though woare not certain :us to where it will befought. I refer to Armageddon. Thogreatest discoveries are yet to he made.A scientist has recently discovered inthe air something which will yet rivalelectricity. The most of things have not

yet been found out. An explorer has re-cently found in tho valley of tho Nile a

whole fleet of ships buried ages agowhere now there is no water. Only sixout of the 800. grasses have been turned

into food like Die potato and tho tomato.

There are hundreds of other styles offood to be discovered. Aerial navigation

will yet bo made as safe as travel onthe solid eartli. Cancers and consump-tions and leprosies are to be transferred

from the catalogue of incurable diseaseto tho curable. Medical men are nowsuccessfully experimenting with modesof transferring diseases from weak con-stitutions which' cannot tl '-ow them offto stout constitutions which are able tothrow them off.'. Worlds like Mars andtho moon will be within hailing dis-tance, and instead of confining ourknowledge to their canals and their vol-canoes they will signal all styles of in-telligence to ns,, and wo will signal allstyles of intelligence to them.

Coining times will class our boasted

nineteenth century with tho dark ages.Under the power of gospelization thoworld is going to be so improved thatthe sword and the musket of our timewill bo kept in .museums as now we lookat thumbscrews and ancient instrumentsof torture. Oh,, what opportunities you |

aro going to have, young men all ‘the I

world over, under 30. How thankful Iyou ought to bo that yon were not born !

any sooner. Blessed aro the cradles that I

aro being rocked now. Blessed aro the !students in the- freshman class. Blessed ;

those who will yet bo young men when 1

the now century comes in, in five or sixyears from now; This world was hardlyfit to live in in the eighteenth century.

I do uot see liow the old folks stood it.Daring this nineteenth century theworld has by Christianizing and cduca- (

But tho twentieth century! Ah, that 1

ready for the- rolling in of that mightiest

and grandest and most glorious century (that the world has ever seen ! Only five- j

summers more; five autumns more; fivewinters more; five springs more, and j

then the clock of time will strike the ideath of the old century and tho birthof the new. I do not know what sort ofa December night it will bo when thiscentury lies down to die; whether itwill bo starlit or tempestuous ; whetherthe snows will foe drifting or the softwinds will breathe upon the pillow oftho expiring centenarian. But millions

will mourn its going, for many have re-ceived; from it kindnesses iunnmerablo,

and they will kiss farewell tho agedbrow wrinkled with so many vicissi-tudes.

Frank MePhillips of Jackson who hasbeen at Lansing during the session ofthe legislature, was in the city yester-day and to a friend expressed the opin-ion that labor would get less from thepresent legislature than from any pre-vious one. “There is no doubt, '' saidMr. MePhillips, "that the present leg-islature*was elected in the interests ofcorporations and monopolies, and thepeople as a whole stand no chance what-ever of securing the enactment of a sin-gle measure in their interests.

They said Camaguaynud been invaded by Gomez and that howith 3,000 insurgents besieged Guainm-ro on Monday. There were about 2,UUUSpaniards in the city and after the fight-ing became disastrous for the besieged,the regiment of Cadiz, numbering about2,500, arrived, attacking the Cubans inthe rear.

Gomez quickly recovered from thefirst onslaught, and while a small forcekept up the conllict with the forces ofthe city, his main body faced the newenemy. The lighting was very fierce,but resulted in a victory for the insur-gents. The regiment of Cadiz was routedand cut to pieces by the pursuing Cu-bans.

The city was taken and is now in pos-session of the Cubans. The Cuban Jossin killed and wounded was put at 700,while the Spanish loss in killed andwounded was 3,000.

Why Your Back is Lame— Why it Achesaud Pains, and How to Cure it.

Do you know what it is to have tt backthat is never free from aches aud constantpain, a lame back, a sore back, an achinglack, in fact, a back that makes your lifea burden? What have you done for it?And does it still keep you from the happi-ness that perfect health brings to all? Wcknow full well if such is your conditiona cure for it will he a blessing you nodoubt desire. Plasters won’t do it, butmay assist in bringing strength. Linimentwon’t do it; for, while it may give tem-porary relief, it does not reach tlie cause.The cause, there’s the point; there’s whereto make the attack. Most backaches comefrom disordered kidneys, therefore youmust correct their action if you would becured. Read the following from D. D.Cook, whose address is No. 18 MichiganStreet, Grand Rapids. He says: —“I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and

wish to say it is a truly great medicine.Thirty years ago I had nervous prostra-tion while in the army, where I served forover four years. I think it was duringthis service that the seeds were sown whichhave caused all my trouble. Severe bili-ous attacks bothered me, and at sueli timesmy kidneys were worse. It is almost im-possible to describe the pain which sooften lamed me. I have teen so lame thatto stand up after I had been sitting downrequired a great exertion. Walking wasat times an impossibility, even at night Idid not rest, being forced to get up duringthe night. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pillsand wondered if they could make an al-most lame man weU. I got some, andsoon after taking them began to feel theirgood effects. I used them for some time,my lameness all left me and I have notfelt it since.

Save the Fish.

Editor Times:—, Wo desire to callthe attention of the people of Hollandto sections one, two and fourteen of thegeneral fish laws.

SEC. I. The people of the state ofMichigan enact, that no person shallcatch or take from any lake, river, orstream of this state, by any moans what-ever, any speckled trout, luml-loekedsalmon, grayling or California trout,from the first day in September in eachear until the first day of May follow-ng thereafter; nor shall any personcatch or take any musoullonge, or anyblack, strawberry, green, or white bass,by any means whatever, except by hookand line, from any such lake, river, orstream, from the first day of March ineach year to the first day of July follow-ing thereafter ......

SEC. 2. No person shall knowinglypurchase, buy or sell, or attempt topurchase, buy or sell, any of the kindsof fish named in the foregoing section,during the respective prohibited peri-ods above named.SEC. 14. Any person who shall be

found guilty of a violation of any pro-vision contained in the foregoing act,shall bo deemed guilty of a misdemea-nor, and shall be punished by a lino ofnot less than five dollars and not morethan one hundred dollars, and the costs

of prosecution, and in default of pay-ment thereof, shall be confined in thecounty jail until such line and costsshall he paid: hut such imprisonmentshall not exceed thirty days.

It will bo seen from the above that itis illegal to buy or to sell any musoal-longo, black, strawberry, green or whiteboss from March 1st to July 1st in eachyear. Now these fish and all otherkinds are further protected in our lakeand river by Act No. 159, Laws of 1891,as amended by Act No. 18(1, Laws of1893, and Local Act 287, Laws of 1885;which laws absolutely prohibit the tak-ing of fish in any manner except by-hook and line.Any person knowingly buying ille-

gally caught fish places himself in thesame position as one receiving stolenproperty. Surely no one desires toplace himself in such a position.We earnestly request the people of

Holland to refrain from buying these il-

legally taken fish, thus removing theincentive which causes these violationsof the fish laws and at the same timehelp our fish peddlers who sell legiti-mately taken white fish and lake trout,to make an honest living.Every one can in this manner assist

us in our endeavor to protect the lishfrom utter extermination. Our workin the last two years is even now begin-ning to bear fruit in the increased re-spect for the game and fish laws and inthe increase in the number of fish.With the increase in our population

and the proportionate increase in thenumber of shooters and fishermen, thelaws must be more rigidly enforced asour game and fish would soon become athing of the past.

Almostevery farmer has from 40 to 80 acres ofwheat., At present they are all busyplanting corn which did well here asthe past two or three years have shown.Parties have bought corn planters(check rowers) with which they plantcorn at 20c an acre and does away withhand planting. People will give diver-sified farming a show and I have nodoubt but that it will pay muc ii betterthan raising all small grain. Cattle isanother paying business here, whichshould be given more attention as thereis plenty of range and it costs only 75cto $1.00 per head for herding for theseason. Yearlings sold this spring from$7 to *12; 2-year-olds from $18 to $24, or3c a pound live weight and good 3-year-olds, 30 odd dollars: pork, 3 to 4 cents,live weight; butter and eggs, 9 cents.

SOUTH RIVER STREET,

HOLLAND. MICH.

Have your room papered in a work-manlike way. We have jnwt received alarge rt“W stock 01 wall pajjer. our pric-es ar • right and our work 1* good.

N. Van ZanU-n.

Farmers are beginning to discover

that there is money in the raising of

mutton sheep. The consumption ofmutton has greatly increased within

the past six years.

Even some of the Republican organs

are becoming so disgusted with the

course of the present legislature that

they are reminding it of the right of

our people to govern themselves.

Since the black eye was delivered to

the Bell telephone patents by the United

States' Supreme Court, telephone rates

in over fifty per cent of the Michigan

cities have been reduced. All due to

threatened or actual competition.

Bee-keeping causes but little hin-

drance to the work of the main crops.

America produces about 25,000,000pounds of honey and 1,000,000 of wax,

all worth $0,000,000. Most of this is

from clusters of but a few hives scat-

tered over many states

Put out fruit trees. Apples, peaches,

pears, plums and all other fruit trees.

Thei is not a fruit bearing tree thatwill not pay in this section if the north-

ern appliances for spraying, etc., are

used. Farmers should do somethingbeside raise wheat if they want to make

money.

If a horse balks, do not whip him but

let him stop and think it over. After

a little reflection and a few tossesof the

head, he will often start of his volition.

Talk to him kinkly, pet him, loosen a

strap or a buckle, and he may forget

liis obstinate spell. An apple or a bunch

of grass from the roadside may win.

‘‘On the coinage question,” began the

rural politician to the grocery salesman,

“I stand square on the platform — ”

“It ain't standing squarft is what is the

matter with you, Silas,” interrupted his

wife, having completed her trade of eggs

for calico, “It is standin’ round is what

is ailin’ you an’ half these other idlers

that orter to be out plowin’ instead of

savin’ the country with their mouths."

No matter how brutally the horse ispunished, how excruciating the paininflicted upon him, he suffers it mutely.

He does not cry out like a dog, but by

reason of his fine organization hesuffers

more acutely. This characteristic of

the horse should be remembered and his

unvoiced protest against abuse should

be to bis keeper the more pathetic ap-peal for kind treatment and humaneconsideration.

TAX PAYEHS, WOK AT THIS.Here is an interesting situation, says

the Lansing Journal, for the tax payers

of Michigan to ponder over.

The state tax for the bien- /nial period, 18'Jl and 181)2were ................... $2,80:5.000.21

The state tax for the bien-nial period, 180:5 and 1894. $.'1,020, 450. 58

Auditor General Turner says that the

state tax for the biennial period, 1805

and 1800 will not be fur from $4,500,000!

Is there any food for consideration in

these figures? The valuation of prop-

erty in Michigan is not increasing any

at present, and the people are of the

opinion that instead of increasing the

taxes, which are already burdensome,

they ought to be decreased. Taxes will

he higher in Michigan than they have

ever been before and the present legis-

lature and the lavish expenditures of

the present state administration arc

alone responsible for it.

Crooked Work In Cliicngo.

Chicago, May JO.— Frauds of the gross-est nature in the pay rolls of the de-partment of public works have been un-covered by Commissioner Kent. Deadmen, the commissioner says, have beenenrolled us laborers and their namesforged to time checks: names have alsobeen duplicated and residences locatedwhere there were vacant lots. All ofthese facts are now in possession of com-missioner Kent and in course of prepa-ration for submission to the legal de-partment of the city for prosecution. Itis estimated that a million dollars bus

been stolen from the city in this manner.

PERSONAL BEAUTIFICATION.

Sotuo CurlmiN lufoi-nutthiii on the HuhjretFrom n Fiiiiioiin Doctor.

A correspondent lias boon interview-

ing Dr. Robert Fischer of Vienna, whois well known us an expert in all that

pertains to cosmetics, and has obtained

from him some curious information.

“When is your regular season, doc-tor?” the correspondent asked.

"Well, yon see, I have a twofold sea-son— the social luid the individual. Theformer is the ball and party season. Thelatter depends upon the betrothal or mar-riage of individuals, and may coincidewith any period of the year.”

"Marriage?” the correspondent askedin surprise.

"Quito so— marriage. Numbers ofmothers put their daughters through awhole course of beautification previous

to launching thorn out in that sea oftrouble. That's the time when the mostelaborate preparations of the humanframe are ordered and undertaken. Ihave a great deal more to do then thanfor the mast fashionable halls of theyear."

Dr. Fischer went on to say: "lamasked perhaps to remove the rubicundtint from the tip of a Grecian nosewhere no amount of exubenuit fancywill explain its presence as the result of

a modest habit of blushing. I performthe operation without pain or difficulty,

insisting upon a term of eight days, but

thou I do it thoroughly and once for all,

and never again will tlio nose blush un-

less the rest of the face first gives the

example.

"Another time an islet of hairs onthe face, an inconvenient tuft on thechin, check or neck, or else an imperti-

nent mustache (which outweighs a good

half of the fair one’s dowry, and some-

times the whole round sum) has to hebanished. Wo often 'have long engage-ments in Austria, with no breach of

A Tuch Driving Machine,

A very ingenious mnehino for auto-matically driving tacks or nails, saysthe Providence Journal, has 1>oon con-trived by Charles 1). Rogers of that city.

Tlio machine has a reservoir for tacks,and tlio first effect of depressing, thehandle Is to move a bar endwise, vibratothe agitator and shako the tacks to in-sure the sliding of tho foremost tacksinto frictional engagement with tho side

of tho descending driver after tho sepa-

rator pin has bpen retracted. At tho in-

stant tho reservoir commences to lieforced downward tho point part of thocut off lover automatically drops fromits proximity to tho tacks. The retrac-

tion of tho pin from contact with thorow of tildes occurs when tho hoveledend of tho driver holder in its downwardmovement engages the lower dog of thocut off lover, while at tho same time tho

row of tacks advances and is held inchock by tlio driver, which is beingforced downward -i its limit, thus en-gaging the standing tack and driving it

into the leather beneath, tho jaws hold-

ing tho tack in position springing apart

to permit its passing through. Upon re-moving the pressure a spring returns hedriver to normal position, and while it

is returning the tacks in tlio runway areagain agitated and tho point of tho cutoff pin introduced between tho first and

second tacks on tlio runway by tho ac-tion of the lover, just heforotho comple-

tion of the driver’s return stroke. A lugsecured to the reservoir connection comesin contact with tho stop of a rod, thuslifting the latter and elevating a hladointo tho rear side of tlio point part of the

forward tack, and as tho driver finishes

tho upward stroke tho blado deflects thoforward into the driver chamber, whereit is arrested l.y the spring jaws.

HURT BY COG WHEELS.

Gerrit Van Leute linn HU Kight Ann andSide Badly Cut.

Yesterday afternoon Gerrit VanLentea young man of about 19 yearswas very badly hurt while at work at

•the Standard Roller Mills. He is em-

ployed as sweeper at the mill and while

trying to brush some dust from a bolt-

ing rell he reached over and behindtwo cog wheels, his coat sleeve was

caught and he was drawn up between

the cogs, his right arm and side from

the elbow down to the lower rib beingbadly cut up and torn. W. A. Holleywho was working on the floor beneathheard his screams and quickly pulled

the signal rope to shutdown the milland then run up to the fourth floor.The young man's clothes had been torn

off so that he was able to release him-

self. Dr. Yates was telephoned for and

he was placed under the influence of

chloroform and conveyed home and his

wounds carefully dressed. C. J. DeRoo of the Milling Company immediate-

ly telegraphed to Grand Rapids fora

trained nurse who is now attendinghim. At present the injured man is uscomfortable as can be expected. With

the exoercise of ordinary caution it

could hardly seem possible that anyone

should get caught in the cog wheels,

in the manner in which this accidentoccurred.

Lilacs In California.

A young man entered the shop of a lo-cal florist and asked, "Do you want anylilacs today?” "Yes; bring me half adozen bunches of white ones.” Whenthe young man had gone, the florist said:“That young man is a horn speculator,a natural business man. Pretty nearlyall the lilacs in Oakland were failuresthis year because they made the mistakeof starting to bloom last fall during awarm spell and got nipped by the frost.As soon as this young man found thatout ho slipped down to S:ui Jose, wentto every person who had a lilac bush inhis yard, contracted for the blooms, andnow lie has a corner on the lilac tradeof San Francisco and Oakland.

"By the way,” continued the florist,"did you ever think what ahold onpopular favor that old flower, the lilac,

has? Of course the pretty white lilacsare popular, but wo sell just :is many ofthe lavender colored. Everybody buysthem. As soon as the violets go outlilacs come in, and the women lovetheir fragrance. About the prematurebloom of the Oakland lilacs last fall:That was not strange, as the lilac begins

to set its buds in June for the bloomingof the following spring, and a spell ofwarm weather in the fall is liable tohurry them forward in time to be frozen

by the next cold snap. "—Oakland (Cal )
