A Dollar Bill for a Whetstone. £ Fifty years ago Miohigan experienced ,ljiat sort of prosperity which, being based upon a rise on prices rather than Upon an increase of values, ended, as jnioh prospei ity always ends, in panic and disaster. There was an extraordinary demand for wild lands, and for places 'with "water privileges" on which to build up large cities. The Government had >pened three land offices in differ­ ent parte of the State. These were be­ sieged by crowds anxious to "enter" at #1.25 an acre. Every proprietor of a "city," which existed on a beautifully ,fttigraved map, started a bank.. Money, lb the form of bank-notes, beeame abun­ dant, prices rose, speculation was stimu- . lated, and men, and even women, caught the "fever" incident to flush times. Then came the crash. Specie payments Were suspended and money became •*4ight." Prwtis fell. The banks were itipposed to have in their vaults gold and silver sufficient to meet 30 per cent. <xf their cireataticik* • The specie kegs were, in aowe cases found to havo an one side an' three on t'other bein' brol am' to liis nose bein' broke, an' to tl layer of coiil, which conoesled _ more Valuable than najb and Im^ceb ghufc. - One of these bM^ks wis known as "The Bank of Satidaton^* being located in a put of Michigan where quarries of finer grit-stone had been opened. Its promises to pay were widely circulated. When the panic came, a man who held many of the bank's circulating notes made all haste to get to Sandstone to get them cashed. The bank had assets, ant of which it paid the bill-holder--a mill-stone for every $10 note, a grind-stone for every $5, and for every $1 bill a whetstone.-- San Francisco Argonaut. ' Remodeling Silk Hats. "Silk hats ? • Yes, everybody, almost, is getting to wear a silk occasionally, if not reguWly. It is the cheapest hat a man can wear, any way," so remarked an experienced Nassau street hatter the other day. "How so?" "Why, because a silk hat only costs from $5 up, but little more than a first- class Derby or soft felt, and it will out­ last three of either. You can ruff up a silk tile into almost any degree of un­ recognized disreputability, and for 25 cents, or 50 cents at most, it can, if it was a good hat originally, be restored to almost its original elegance. A good silk hat will last a full season it it is not mashed or wet by some accident, and at the end of that time will retain a fair degree of respectability in appearance. A silk hat never fades, but constant ex­ posure to rain and dust will in time dim its luster. That, however, is easily re­ paired by washing and ironing. If the frame is broken, bt course the hat must be "blocked." -Ironing and blocking are different matters. Now I can have that hat of yours ironed while you wait, but to have'it blocked would take two hours. "Watch that hat being ironed. See, the iron is already holt. He takes a brush, relieves the nap of the hat from accumulated dust, and arranges the silk fibers smoothly and in order. Now he takes that small iron and rubs the brim around. See how the dull, hist«?rless surface and the abraded places are smoothed down and how the original shine returns. Now that big smootliing-iron comes into play. He holds that in his hand and rubs the iron lightly but firmly around the hat in the direction the nap lies. The luster is re­ newed, battered places are pressed into shape and kept there, and now, with artful usage and an avoidance of rain, the tile is as good as new, save that it is a little off in shape. The styles, changing from year to year, consist in a looser or tighter roll of the brim, more or less concavity to the sides of the crown, variation in the height of the crown and the 'dip' of the brim, and in the width and material of the trim­ mings. A very small reduction in the circumference of a hat crown in the middle will make an astonishing differ­ ence in the apparent shape of the hat when worn. It is this slight change in shape which makes the wearer of a silk tile a well-dressed man, a dude, or a shoddy imitation of a careful and cor­ rect dresser. Styles in hats are begin­ ning to repeat, and the man who has an old shape of some years ago is right in style." "Do many people have hats blocked and ironed?" "Well, I should say they do. Every condition of man--and woman, too-- comes in here to get his or her hat blocked to the correct shape and ironed if it has been wet."--New York Mail and Express. Practical Hints on Disinfection. The following is from "Disease Germs and How to Combat Them," by Lucius Pitkin, in the Century, accompanied by a frontispiece portrait of Pasteur. 1. Corrosive sublimate (mercuric chloride), sulphate and copper, and , chloride of lime are among our best dis­ infectants, the first two being poison­ ous. 2. A quarter of a pound of corrosive sublimate and a pound of sulphate of copper in one gallon of water makes a concentrated solution to keep in stock. We will refer to it as "solution A." 3. For the ordinary disinfecting so­ lution add half a pint of "solution A" to a gallon of water. This, while costing less than a cent and a half per gallon, is a good strength for general use. Use in about equal quantity in disinfecting choleraic or typhoid fever excreta. 4. A 4 per cent, solution of good chloride of lime or a quarter pint of "s> lution A" to a gallon of water is tised te wash wood-work floors, and wooden furniture, after fumigation and ventila­ tion. 5. For fumigating with sulphur, three to four pounds should be used to every thousand cubic feet air space. Burn in an old tin basin floating in a tub of water; keep room closed twelve hours, to allow the fumes to penetrate all cracks. Then open a window from the outside and allow fumes to escape into air. 6. Soak sheets, etc., in chloride of liine solution, wring out, and boil. 7. Cesspools, etc., should be well covered on top with a mixture of chloride of lime with ten parts of dry sand. 8. Isolate the patient in an upper room from which curtains, carpets, and stuffed turniture have been removed. 9. The solution of mercuric chloride must not be placed in metal vessels, since the mercury would plate them. Clntide Duval the Second. Texas has a very considerate stage robber. He doesn't want to hurt any­ body's feelings, and he will do almost anything, except restoring money and valuables, to free his victims from a charge of cowardice in giving them up. Not long ago this lone highwayman stopped a mail stage near San Angelo, containing thirteen passengers. He or­ dered them to descend, which they did very promptly, and after drawing caps down over their faces, to hide their blushes at their own cowardice, prob­ ably, he proceeded in a calm and dis­ passionate manner to relieve them of their personal property. , He kept them holding up their hands about four hours, awaiting an extra hack that a passenger said waa coming be­ hind them, but it was delayed in some manner and the stage with its passen- ! gers was allowed to proceed. The rob- ! ber very generously gave each passen­ ger enough money to pay for his break­ fast at the next stopping place. Antic­ ipating that they might l>e charged with lack of courage when the circum­ stances became known, he also gave them a written certificate, which read as follows: ' "I hereby certify that all of you are gentlemen, honest, and brave, but that you were not armed and prepared to de­ fend yourselves.--Stage Robber." Such consideration is rarely met with in a highwayman nowadavs. It is worthy of the eorteoas Claude Duval in his best days.'-~T&r<r# Siftings. There used to be a notion going round that it would be a good thing for people if they were more "Belf-centered.* Per­ haps there was talk of adding a oonrse to the college curriculum, in addition to that for training the all-competent "journalist,"' for the self-centering of the young. To apply the term to a man or woman was considered highly compli­ mentary. The advisers of this state of mind probably meant to suggest a de­ sirable equilibrium and mental balance; but the actual effect of the self-centered training is illustrated by .& Btorv told of Thomas H. Benton, who had been de­ scribed as an egotist by some of the tewspapers. Meeting Col. Frank Blair one day, he said: "Col. Blair, I see that the newspapers call me an egotist. I wish you would tell me frankly, as a friend, if you think the charge is true." •"It is a very direct question, Mr. Ben­ ton," replied Col. Blair, "but if you want my honest opinion, I am compelled to say that I think there is some founda­ tion for the charge." ,rWell, sir," said Mr. Benton, throwing liis head back and liis chest forward, "the difference between me and these little fellows is that I have an Ego!" Mr. Benton was an interesting man, an^ it is a fair con­ sideration if a certSnTamount ol egotisnr does not add to the interest of any character, but at the same time the self- centered conditions shut a person off from one of the chief enjoyments to be got out of this world, namely, a recogni­ tion of what is admirable in others in a toleration of peculiarities. It is odd, almost amusing, to note how in this country people of one section apply their local standards to the judgment ef people iu other sections, very much as an Englishman uses his ipsnlar yard­ stick to measure all the rest of the world. If never seems to occur to peo­ ple in one locality that the manners and speech of those of another may be just as admirable as their own, and they get a good deal of discomfort out of their intercourse with strangers by reason of their inability to adapt themselves to any ways n6t their own. It helps greatly to make this country interesting that nearly every State has its peculiar­ ities, and that the inhabitants of dif­ ferent sections differ in manner and speech. But next to an interesting per­ son in social value is an agreeable one, and it would add vastly to the agree- ableness of life if our widely spread provinces were not so self-centered in their notion that their own way is the best, to the degree that they criticise any deviation from it as an eccentricity. It would be a very nice world in these United States if we could all devote ourselves to finding out in communities what is likable rather than what is op­ posed to our experience; that is, in try­ ing to adapt ourselves to others rather than insisting that our own standard should measure our opinion and our en­ joyment of them. When the Kentuckian describes a man as a "high-toned gentlenyin" he means exactly the same that a Bostonian means when he 'says that a man is a "very good fellow," only the men de­ scribed have a different culture, a dif­ ferent personal flavor; and it is fortmiate that the."' Kentuckian is iy>t like the Bostonian, for each has a quality that makes intercourse with him pleasant. In the South many people think they have said a severe thing when they say that a person or manner is thoroughly- Yankee ; and many New-Englanders in­ tend to express a considerable lack in what is essential when they say of men and women that they are very Southern. When the Yankee is produced he may turn out a cosmopolitan person of the most interesting and agreeable sort; and the Southerner Qiay have traits and peculiarities, growing out of climate and social life unlike the New England, which are altogether charming. The truth is that the agreeable people are pretty evenly t distributed over the country,^ind one's enjoyment of them is heightened not only by their differences of manner, but by the different ways in which they look at life, unless he insists upon applying everywhere the yard­ stick of his own locality.-- Chariest Dudley Warner, in Harpers Maga­ zine. JHst Like the Children. The district school has been "called to books'," and settles into a droning quiet. A little youngster, all uncon­ scious of his tardiness, creeps around under the windows and bounds in at the open door with a Comanche "boo-oo" that rattles the shutters. It is ef­ fective beyond his wildest anticipations, but he isn't likely to laugh about it for several years yet. The curtainless windows were all up, and the evening sun streamed into th$ school-room. A little girl raised her hand. "Teacher, may I let down this win­ dow ?" "It's too warm for that, isnt it, Mat- tie ?!' "Yes, sir, it's warm." timidly, "but I wanted to keep the sun off me !n The children in the next room were very noisy, and mamma told 4-year-old Bessie, sitting beside her, to shut the door. Bessie closed it, but the noise was still painfully audible. "Mamma," looking up with a counte­ nance indicative of a bright idea, 4Mamma, I dess I better lock it?"-- Detroit Free Pretw. Hardly Encouraging to ('ant. There is probably no Bostonian con­ senting whom so many stories have bieen told as the lute Isaac O. Barnes. The majority of them liave at least a basis of fcmth, but it is safe to say that a goodly number have been "shaped" out of all recognition by the different story-tellers through whose hands they have passed. The old man was somewhat testy and irritable, and didn't mince words when lie was excited. A puritanical looking ?hap came up to him c-ne day and asked for a subscription toward building a 3hurcli. "What is your business, any­ way ?" asked Barnes, in his squeaky voice. Rolling up his eyes and clasp­ ing his hands, his visitor replied: "I am a humble follower of my Sa­ viour."

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST 'EBUHNTOB. treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing' ailments peculiar to females, ai tks Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Yn has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting snd thoroughly testing for the euro of woman's peculiar maladies. Dr. Pierce's Favor­ ite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great aud valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested ifc in the more aggravated aud obstinate caat-s which had baffled their skill, prove it to bo tho most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suf­ fering' women. It ia not recommended as a "cure-all." but as a most perfect Specilie for woman's peculiar diseases. A SH a powerful, in- vigoratiug tonic* it imparts strength to the whole system, ond to tho uterus, or womb and its appendages, in purtieu- lttr. For overworked, " worn - oat," " run - down," debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seain- Strcescs, "shop-triris," housoktvp^rs, nu«- ing mothers, and f<*)bic- women generally. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is tho greatest earthly boon, being unequal *! as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. It promotes digestion and assiiailatioii of food, curcs nausea, weakness of stoinacli, indigestion, bloating and eructations of gas. A POWERFUL A SOOTHMB A s a s o o t h i n g aud streugthc'*inv nervine, " Fa*»rite Prescription" is uue- qualcd and is invaluable in allaying and subdu­ ing nervous excitabil­ ity, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and otfunie disease of tho womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety aud de­ spondency. Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescript tiou ia a legitimate Medicine, carefully compoundetf by an ex|>«nencea and skillful physician, und adapted to woman's delicatc organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its cffccts in any condition of tho system. In pregnancy, "Fa­ vorite Prescription " ia a "mother's cordial," relieving nausea, weak- nets of stomach and other distressing symp­ toms common to that condition. If its uso is kept up in the latter months of gestation, it so prepares K MOTHERS the system for delivery aa to greatly lessen, and many times almost entirely do away with tho sufferings of that trying ordeal.

Having exhausted the skill ot three physi­ cians, I was complete]v discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking Dr. Pijrce's Favorite Prescription and using the local treatment recommended in his 'Common Sense Medical Adviser.' I commenced to improve at once. In three raontliB 1 was pcrfcctln cured, and have had no trouble since. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them, and cnclntiiifj a ttamped-enrelovc for reply. I havo received over four hundred letters. In reply, I hare described my case and the treatment used, and hare ear­ nestly advised them to 'do likewise.'
