Paddlinir intn 1 tf U Btranan, on the south aide of the bay, we uwuea oetaae a clear rippling stream, and, havinsr ordered tio whnln of t.h march in Indian fllj in front, we itarted by a uiue ruggea paw into uie mountains, with my interpreter im mediately behind me and the rajah just in front. Every foot of the journey, which waj laborious in the extreme, disclosed fresh scer es of verdure and tropical splendor. Winding along the Bides of deep ravinpg, sometimes dragging ourselves up the creepers and undoi growth, we ultimately at tained an. altitude of about 1,000 feet above the sea, and then entered the nutmeg coun- u jr. uie wo uuueu ana rusted. Tbe rajah pulled some of ti e nutuiogs and explained how far they were from being ripe. Having rested si fhViently we again started forward, and after scrambling along for about an hour wo gained a fine piece of table land, over which we traveled Tor about an other half an how, when we reached three houses erected in tae very heart of the forest. These wore used by the natives for drying the nutmegs. The country wasevery where mag nificent, and the aoma of the spice laden air delicious. Nutme; and other equally valu able trees were everywhere growing in great profusion. The fruit of the nutmeg in ap pearance resombli a pear, and when ripe opens and displays the nut covered with a beautiful red coat ng of mace. The nuts are then picked from the trees, put into baskets and taken to tlu houses, where they are husked and placed on shelves. They are then partially roasted over a slow fire until all the moisture is extracted. After this they are cooled and carried down to the village in nets ready to be hart-red to the Bugis, Arabs, and other traders who frequent the gulf in their small prows or jimkos at the proper sea son. Glasgow Mf il Sennnt Stealing. Ladies who are really gentle of heart and manners should olserve certain points of honor among thomselves. A gentlewoman will not allow a servant, however faithful, to gossip to her of other homes in which she may havo lived. She will know instinctively thnt it is hor duty to teach the nurse girl, the cook, the house maid, that gossip is as bad in the kitchen as in : he parlor. A gentlewoman will not take a.iy the servants of other ladies. This sort of bribery and stealing is common, and ma ly mistresses do not seem to see any dishonor nit. It is not honorable to take away a cool; from a good home on the promise of pivim; her a dollar extra. Re cently a well known lady waited anxiously for her nurse to sppear in the morning. The girl had left the remises for good, and when search was mad for her and she was found, admitted that Mrs. A had promised to give her a new dress if she would leave her employer ami tae service elsewhera Ser vant stealing is not so ld as child stealing, but it is bad enough for women to be avhamed to be engaged in it. New Orleans Picayune. TOOK A PECULIAR VIE.W. Troy, N. Y., Pol tlcians fton't Seem to 6e TliroiiKh Ivll Hervtc Reform. Washington Oitt, June 12. Civil Serv ice Commissioner Roosevelt returned to th city yesterday a id the commission, all the members being r resent, approved the report in the investigation of the Troy postoffloa. Civil Service Commissioner Thompson said to a Star repor ter that the commissioners found a singular state of affairs in connec tion with tbe Troy postoffioe, growing out of tbe existence of a popular opinion there that nmler the new Republican ostmaster it was useless for any one not a Republican and a member ol a particular faction to ap ply for exuiiiinai ion for appointment. Men were even designated by ward managers to take the exam nation. Under the recent Democratic administration a similar opinion prevailed, and n Republicans applied. The commissioners d id not considor tbe postmas ter at fault. Two Kxariimttlons Wiped Oat. The result of tbeir visit was the annulment of the last exani.nution held under tbe Dem ocratic postmaster, and the first and only one held under the I ew postmaster. In addition tbe commissioners published a card, asaurmg the people of IVoy that the examination! would be conducted and appointment made without regard to indorsements or party con nections. Commissioners Lyman and Roose velt will soon have for Indianafxilia Then Mr. Roosevelt v ill return here and Governor Thompson will join Mr. Lyman in an expe dition to Chirac o an.l Grand Rapids.

A French Statesman Who Darea. Paris, June 12. In tbe chamber of depu ties yesterday M. Seguln warned the gov ernment that the people regarded the break ing up of tbe B mlangist meeting on Sunday as an infringement of their liberty. M. Cow stans, minister of the interior, said the depu ties arrested at tbat meeting were arrested because they interfered with tbe police in their duty. XL Laucr, in an excited speech. dared tbe goveiiimsnt to interfere with him in a like manner. An uproar ensued and tbe president o ' tbe chamber called M. Lauer and several others to order. At the Charity Entertainment. Havo you ever carefully inspected the au dience in atten lance at the average charity concert? It is usually a sort of a poor rela tion audience. Tickets aro sold to wealthy people, who take them becauso the object la a worthy one, in their opinion, but they do not care to atteud the entertainment themselves, ao they shower ;heir tickets among their poor relations, who are only too glad of a chance to go to some wrt of a show. If there are no poor relations to be favored the tickets are given to tbs postman, the milkman, the grocer or the butcher, and, as a consequence, the audience T.'hich assembles is composed partially of the lower middle class and of the man whose gn atest pride is to mention the name of some -veil known millionaire aa his wife's cousin. But all the same the deserv ing charity ge the money, and the artists who volunteer doubtless appear before a more appreciate veaudianoe. ChicagoIIerald. Lost.

It Is propoied to keep the Paris expo aition open f c r a year, with the exception of the three if inter months. . Cheery Words From a gentleman of Texas to his own people, and all others over the country. Hear what he says: I have been a practical druetrist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try, and notice tbe efiect of nearly all the highly recommended preparations or pat ent medicines on the market, and as I have suffered untold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could nna nothing to cure or relieve me, I had almost drawn a conclusion that all pat ent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was in duced by a friend now living in Tyler, to try a preparation known as 3 B, or Bo tanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible affliction; and it now affords me the greatest pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county tbat I am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which I consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known to man. I have been subject to ins flammatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time have had four. The last spell came on me in November, 1885, over a year ago. at which time I was confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass ing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produced by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that time I had only eaten six meals, and could scarlely sit up without support; but after using three bottles I was able to relish my meals and to walk up town, and after six bottles had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt sinse that time. When I returned to business in February, my weight was 145 pounds, but gradually increased until mv regular weight was. again attained, 210 pounds. The noticeable fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this un paralleled and remarkable discovery. B. B. B. , cured me in mid winter, at the very time my eufferines and misery were the greatest. I take it on myself as a practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as conscientiously, recommend this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not only myself, but tbe firm of McKay & Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in dorse its superior merits.

A Baltimore paper speaks of the mis terious disappearance of a citizen as fol lows: "As he was last seen in a feed store with $S in cash in hand, il is feared he has been foully dealt with." A Woman's Discovery. "Another wonderful discovery has been made, and that, too, by a lady in this country. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severests tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of U9 a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption and was so much relieved on taking the first dose tbat she slept all night, and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C. Hararick & Co., of Shelby, N. C Get a free bottle at Hartz & Bahnsen's drug store. THE VERDICT UNAJflMOUS. W. D. Suit, druggist, Bippus, Ind testifies: '! can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every Dottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of rheumalism of ten years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist. Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my twenty years' experience, is Electric Bitters." Thous ands of others have added their testimo ny, so tbat the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or blood.
