A TALE OF A PHOTOGRAPH.

P it be fun!” exclaimed Lucy Clare to herself, looking up from the letter she was reading. Tt- nan *” tbemorning before school, and as the bell would not ring for half an hour she had plenty of time to enjoy her letler and devise the answer. She was a girl of 20 summers, of '“ifedium height, plump figure and good English complexion—for she was an English girl,-though for some five or six years a resident of America. Her hair was short and dark-brown in color, her forehead broad, high and full, one of which a poet or a philosopher might hf proud.' But the chief feature of her face was her eyes*—large, e'xpressive, brown eyes, bright with intelligence and fun., Yes,, though she was working hiiil at Greek, Latin and mathematics, she could find time to break as many hearts as those who thought of nothing else. At present she was a student in one of our best colleges which had re■'ccntly opened their doors to the gentler, though by no means less intelligent, The letter she was reading was from a gSI friend and former neighbor, who tlien livi d in ope of the towns of Central „ Ohio. It contained the photograph of a yotlng gentleman whose acquaintance the young lady, Miss Ada Vane, had made during a recent trip to the South. In a former letter she had mentioned 1 at he was particularly handsome and rich, and Lucy had asked to see his picture. Accordingly Miss Vane sent it to her, charging her to return it, but adding that if die said so she would ask foteone for her.; The visions that this brought before Lucy’s eyes are what caused her glee. The gentleman in question was a good-looking widower of 28, one of the F. F. V., and a petted member of society. Seven years before he had fallen in love with and married a beautiful but penniless school-mistress, who had lived hut a few months afterward. He felt the loss det-ply at first, but soon reoorere 1 and again appeared in the world of goft-rr, a fcujE’et for bright eyes and a • nctam i»r s -hennne mammas—an 1 whv

Both in--oeirr.siWe firts. and soon were engaged in a contest of-wu and repartee. So a&sjducuuriy dm ttsey devote tiiemseives to each c*iht r that people exchanged significant glrm .-e? whenever they were seen together.. -But they understood each other, and-neitber was in a hurry to take any serious step, but both were bept on getting all the good there was iir life. At last the day came to say good-by, and Ada left for the North. However, both expected to attend the Author’s Carnival, in Boston, the, following spring, so did not say good-by, but au revoir. Soon after her return home, Ada had some photographs token, and sent one relatives in H. One of her young uncles showed it to Mr. Darcie, and he immediately, to use her uncle’s language, “ nearly took a fit, sent his photo with his very best respects, and would she bo so kind as to send hers in return ? ” Of course he didn’t get it, as A<}a was whte, made all the additions she odnld to ner album, but was careful that her own picture should be all the more desirable that it was hard to obtain, and this is how she came by the In jite time the other picture was ■writhm Tor and obtained. When Lucy "received it she exhibited it to her schoolmates as a recent conquest, making all tle boys jealous and the girls envious. Atta told lier that he would be in Boston at tjje..(-!ar>ival, and, as the spring vacation would come in April, she determined to persuade her brother to take her. After consultation with Ada they reso ved- to go in a party, as that would be the more enjoyable way. April came, and with it came vacation. On the 10th, Lucy, her mother and brother arrived at 0., the home of Mr. Vano. They found all ready, and, after a day’s rest, started direct for Boston to secure their apartments, lest they should be given up to earlier guests. They found their rooms all that could be desired. Everybody went to bed early, as no one expected to get much sleep after that night, Next dav, in looking over the list of arrivals, Charles Vane found that his Uncle Hamel, with his son and daughter, Frank and Florence, had taken rooms’at the same hotel. He hastened to inform his sisters, who were delighted, Jennie that in her cousin Frankie she would have a companion somewhere near her own age, and Ada that Florence Hamel and John Clare would again be brought together. They had been schoehmtes and had formed an early attachment for each other, but both were selLwilled and hence had iniore'ihan once. Their en liad recently been broken off,

and Adft hoped finally to reconcile them. Accordingly she hastened to her nude’s rooms, and, as soon as possible, carried ofthe^cbnsin'to help them arrange their plans for the week’s enjoyment. «TIW were soon interrupted byaw>titet f >r Miss Vane. 51)1 looking at fie'm she saw that they bore the names of A'thuc and Alan Darcie. Composedly telling the waiter to show them up, on his exit she turned exul tingly to Lucy and said : "** r 'Gbbd ! Here is the original of your photo. Let me see ho w you look. Ch, charming, of course. That slightly heightened color is very becoming.” * “O dear! I am sorry he is in such a hurry to call. I should much rather be introduced in a crowd, at the Carnival for instance, when John would likely be occupied in interesting Florence. Xou know what an awful tease he is, and if I should-happen to be the least bit nervous I shall never hear the end of it. ” “ Why-should you be nervous? You have had-introductions enough to have outgrown 1 that silly trick, I hope.” ‘*Well, you know,” returned Lucy, ‘ ‘ this will be an introduction under rathei different circumstances. What does he Vtmnk.of me? What would mamma siv if she only knew? I must be careful on her account. But vou have twe cards, whose is the other, if 1 may know ? ” »“ O, I guess you are not the only one who is to have a beau. Mr. Darcie has brought with him his brother Alan. He 'is also a widower, but a few years plder than Arthur. 1 have never' seen him, as he. was away when I was in H.. I bitt reportsays he is every bit as good- • looking a$ his brother and quite at

weal thy. I mean to capture him—if 1 can. feut, here they are.” Lucy turned quietly to talk with Flor•pee, While Ada arose to receive her guests. “ How do you do, Mr. Darcie ? lam delighted to see you,” she said, cordially extending her hand to Arthur, and casting a comprehensive look at his brother, who happened to be glancing at th« other members of the group. ‘<l need not ask if you are well,” returned Mr. Darcie, “ Yes, I am quite well, and happy, said Ada. “My brother and I came over last night to see if you had arrived, and when we saw your name in the register determined to call before any one else should come and deprive ns of the pleasure of showing you the lions.” “ I am glad you did call early, for more reasons wan one. Do you see that young lady with the bright brown eyes and beautiful complexion ? Not the one with curly hair and dreamy eyes—sne is my cousin, a Southerner, like yourself. The other one, Lucy Clare, is the girl who has yoir picture. She says she is almost ashamed to meet you . after her childish behavior. But she is a very excellent girl, nevertheless, and I will wager you that ruby ring, you so much admire against a volume of Tennyson's ‘ Queen Mary’ that, you fall a victim to her witching ways before we leave Boston. But you are forgetting your brother. Pray introduce him.” “ Done!—And so I am. Alan, this is Miss Vane, who woke up our sleepy little town this winter, while you were in New Orleans. Miss Vane, Mr. Dar--016 Nothing has filled me with deeper i egret than that I missed the pleasure of an acquaintance with the young lady who so quickly and fully took by storm the dormant hearts of H.,” said he, bowing low. ‘‘ I also regretted that I did not see Mr. Darcie, whose delightful articles I had read with so much pleasure,” replied Ada, returning his bow and casting down her eyes to show how effectively her loner, curved lashes swept her cheek. “Thanks. I did not know that my poor essays would interest a young lady of fashion. I thought they eschewed all such dry matter.” “Now, there is where you gentlemen wrong us. You think That because we are fond of dress and gayety we care for nothing else. But yon are greatly mistaken. I read a great deal myself, and there is my friend, Miss Clare, to whom i see your brother is all impatience to be introduced. She is studying hard for a degree in the University of C. No one would think so to see her in society. But let me introduce you to her and to the rest of Hie gayest company of young people that ever got together for a good time.”

She led them over to where Lucy and Florence sat conversing with Mr. Clare and her brother, Mrs. Clare having become deeply interested in “ Daisy Miller,” which was creating such a stir in literary circles. Introducing them first to Mrs. Clare and thtto to the girls, she took them last to the two young men, who clasped their hands warmly and said, “If you will join ns we will give these girls enough of pleasuring this week to make them glad to rest awhile, any way.” ••We shall ba most happy to join yon and give ycu all the assistance we can, but hope the ladies will not be surfeited in a week. We think of making a tour of th-. N onhe-ru States aad Canada during the h<4 summer months, and if you can make it o.aivement to take a trip at the same r—■- it win give us supreme pleasure,’’ resumed the younger Mr. Darcie. T~ m tog to Lucy, he said, “Your fail term does not begin until September, floes it, Miss Clare ?” "No,” she replied, “not until the second week of September. There would be plenty of time to see all the places of interest. Think of visiting Niagara, the Thousand Isles, the classic Hudson, home of my favorite author, Irving. Will you not go, mamma ?” “ I will think about it during the week, my child, and let you know,” smiled her good-natured mother. “You know I must write and consult your father. But it is getting late, and we have not arranged how we are to pass the time while here.” “Well, the Carnival .will take two days, at least, will it not ?” said Mr. Vane. _

“ Yes. Then it will take another day to look over the city. Kellogg is here, and Booth is coming, so I think we can find enough to fill up the time, ” continued Mr. Clare. “ What does Kellogg sing to-night ?” “ Marguerite; one of her best characters, and Peakes is Mephisto,” replied the elder Mr. Darcie. “My brother and I have already secured a box, and it will give us groat pleasure to share it with you. Miss Vane, if you will do me the honor to accompany me I shall be most happy to call for you at eight.” And thus one evening was disposed of. Soon after the gentlemen went off together, leaving the ladies to talk of them and of how they should dress for the evening. Florence said she had heard “Faust” twice and did not care to go again. She and Mr. Clare had already decided to hear Von Bulow that evening. “Well, how do you like him?” said Ada to Lucy, as they sat combing out each other’s hair preparatory to dressing. “O, I can’t tell yet. I like him very well so far. He is different from most young men I have ihet. He seems to think that there are some girls who care tor something besides flattery and gossip. However, people always do their best the first time. After you are well acquainted and they are less on their guard is the time when you can best tell what they are. But I mean to win your wager for you if I can. You don’t seem to value your ring very highly, putting it against such a little book, or else your hopes of winning are high. ” ‘ * I didn’t happen to think of anything else I wanted just then, and I was pretty certain of winning. I can tell pretty well from the beginning how such matters will terminate. You know I have been in the field some time and ought to have a little experience. Are you going with him to-night?” “Yes, indeed. He asked me as soon as he could with propriety. Mamma and your uncle intend to stay and talk over old times; your brother, I believe, is going to hunt up an old college chum, and Jennie and Frank don’t care to go. So you see we shall be alone in our glory. ” “And I am going with the distinguished author. Wouldn’t it be nice if one of these fine days we should become sisters-in law ? What do you think about marrying a rebel, though ? That is the only consideration that disturbs file. But we haven’t married them yet, and rebels are supposed to be an extinct species. What will you wear? ” “My pink silk with the white lace overdress, and pearls. You wear your blue; then we shall look like sisters. Our features are something alike, and our dresses exactly alike excepting in

“There, you look bewitching as a fairy. Here is your cloak. You had better just let it slip off your shoulders a little, as you are not accustomed to a bare neck and may take cold. It would not do to spoil your voice, for I told Mr. D. that you almost rivaled Kellogg herself. Take your fan and gloves, and now you are ready. How do I look ? ” “ Charming as ever, and that is high praise. If you have been ‘in the market’ a longtime, it is your own fault, and if you do not catch this golden fish it won’t be because your appearance is not taking. Here they are, now.” They enjoyed the opera, and all the more that they saw so many lorgnettes directed toward their box, where sat two of the handsomest couples in the whole house. On the way home Arthur Darcie and Lucy made arrangements to occupy the pext morning in riding over

town. Ada and the elder Mr. Darcie projected a visit to the libraries to examine some old book they had been discussing. Florence and Mr. Clare gave such glowing accounts of Dr. Von Bulow’s performance .that those who had not heard him determined to go that night. Next day was spent at the Carnival, and in the evening all went to see Booth in “ Richelieu. From the beginning the party had paired off, and seemed to take it for granted that it was to be so. Thus the days and nights new by in endless rounds of pleasure and excitement, until the girls were really, glad when the time came for packing. On the last evening, after their return from hearing “Mignon," Florence, .Lucyand Ada sat together talking over the events of the week. “ Well, two operas, one concert, one play, one kettle-drum, three day J occupied in visiting all the art galleries, libraries and every other thing worth seeing in this ‘ hub of the world,’ not counting the hours we have sat up talking and singing when we ought to have been in bed, I call a pretty good summing up of a week for a girl whois supposed to be resting for next term’s work,” said Lucy, yawning and throwing herself upon the bed. “ Yes. I know Til never be up in time for the tram to-morrow,” continued Florence, letting down her hair, which fell in ringlets far below her waist.

“I’m satis led,” cried Ada, looking up from a beautiful little volume of blue and gold which she had received that day. “I’m satisfied—l’ve won my wager. Aren’t you going to invite us to be bridesmaids ? When is the happy.event to occur ? You will have to give up venr degree and assume the matron s cap and keys. Tell us all about it, Lucy. When diilhe put the momentous question ? What did he say ? There, you have enough questions to begin not going to tell you what he said. I know I felt like running away. It was my first bona-fide offer and I did not know what I should do or say. I have always managed before to ward off that part of it. I found my wits, though, by the time I needed thein, and I told him that I hadn’t thought of marrying for some time yet, any way not until I had left school. I was verv grateful to him for his kindness in making the past week so pleasant, but supposed he was only thinking of the present enjoyment, as I was. (What a fib 1) But you know he is an experenced hand and knew how to plead. As I had no idea of giving him up altogether, I finally allowed him to persuade me into saying that if in a year from now he was of the same mind he might come to see me graduate, and may be receive a more favorable answer. He wanted to put that solitaire ring on my finger, bnt I wouldn’t let him. No, indeed, I am not going to bind myself and give up all the fun I have at school. How shockingly I talk ! Soberly, now, he does nearly meet my ideal. ” “I see Florence looks unusually happy, and her eyes have a more far-away look than ever. Have you and John made up at last and for good ? ” “Yes, we have concluded to be good natured until after we are married at Christmas.” “ Let me give you a little old-maidish advice: If you two don’t learn to be a little more forbearing I tremble for your future. You, with your hot Southern b’ood, and he, with * his equally-quick temper, are just the ones to make misery for yourselves—if you wisli. I don’t like people without tempers, but, you, know, they need a bridle. There, I’ve done.” . “ Thank you, cousin. I know Ive a sweet temper of my own, but I am not really angry, always, when I seem to be so. I like to see John’s eyes light up, but I promised that I would forego that pleasure. ” “As neither of you will rotice this curious ring on my finger, I am compelled to call your attention to it. Yesterday Mr. Darcie asked me to marry him. I asked for a day to think about it, and told him that, if I wore flowers tonight instead of jewels, he might take hope. You see this withered wreath? We are to be married on the first day of the new year. ” “ Only to think what a simple bit of pasteboard has brought about,” exclaimed Lucy.

USEFUL HINTS.

To Whiten Scorched Linen.—ls a shirt-bosom or any other article has been scorched in ironing, lay it where bri; jht sunshine will fall directly upon it. It will remove it entirely. < To Make Japanese Cement. Mix the best powdered rice with a little cold water; then gradually add boiling water till a proper consistency is acquired, being careful to keep it well stirred all the time ; lastly, it must be boiled for one minute in a clean saucepan. This paste is beautifully white, almost transparent, and well adapted for fancy paper work, or other things requiring a strong and colorless cement. A Remedy for Scale Bugs.—At a meeting of the California Academy of Sciences, Dr. Gibbons exhibited a large bunch of beautiful roses of exceeding fragrance, and in full bloom, which he gathered from a bush in his garden which two months before was overrun with scale bugs and nearly dead. He applied to it a mixture of crude petroleum and castor oil, daubing it slightly on the leaves and stem, not allowing any to fall to the ground or reach the roots. Rain followed, and the plants were throwing out their first growth of leaves, to which the scale bugs were directing their attention. No sign of any scale insect can be seen in the garden. To Clean Kid Gloves. —Use sweet milk and white or brown soap. Take a large piece of white flannel, dip it in the mi k, then rub it upon the soap and rub the glove downward toward the fingers, holding the wrist of it by the left hand. Continue this process until the glove, if white, looks a dingy yellow, but, if colored, looks dark and entirely spoiled. Now let it dry, and then put it on your hand, and it will be soft, smooth, glossy and clean. This process applies only to white and colored kid gloves. For black gloves that aie soiled, turned white and otherwise injured, take a teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few drops of ink into it and rub it over the gloves with the tip of a feather ; then let them dry in the sun.

The Science of Preserving Wood. —The Journal of Forestry thus explains what is necessary to preserve wood : The primary oapse of decay in wood is the fermentation and the decomposition of the sap that is within the pores. Wood, pure and bv itself, is not easily destroyed by tne ordinary agencies of nature, namely, wet and dry weather, heat and cold, etc. If the sap within the pores can either be removed or rendered inactive, the wood may be. preserved. There are several methods of doing this, such as saturating the wood with mineral salts, creosote, etc. The cheapest, easiest and therefore the best method seems to be to charge the wood with crude petroleum. Pine, for example, is made almost waterproof by saturating it with this simple material, and, therefore, made much more lasting. Crude petroleum is very cheap, and may be applied with a brush until the wood will soak up no more. In the application care should be taken to avoid accidents by fire, and not approach the work with a flame until it is dry. An application of petroleum is especially valuable to muchexposed woodwork. Moorish women dress very gayly in their homes, but when they appear in the public streets they are enveloped in white muslin or calico from head to foot, and glide along like ghosts—thick white veils covering their faces. In private life they ppa fond of gorgeous coloring.

Briggs' Centenarian.

[Bxcbange.] The usual crowd was down in the store the other evening, when the conversation turned on old men, Squire rutkins saying that he knew an old man, aged who had recently walked eight miles in the burning tun to purchase a hobby-horte. This brought Brigga to hia feet He slowly rolled around the cud of tobacco in his mouth, and remarked: “That ’ere man of yours, Pitkins, was a ragged old slouch, a no-account nigger, compared to an old roosttf that I “What about your friend?” inquired Pitkins. “Wouldn’t you think that a venerable, gray-haired old man who can skip rope for two hours, at the age of one hundred and seventeen, and not feel tired,is something remarkable?” “Yes.” “And when the same individual draws his wife and daughter in a hand-cart to to the circus, four miles distant, and then wins five dollars by ridiug the trick mule, don’t you admire him?” “Of course.” “And when you continue to hear that he ploughed a ten acre lot yesterday, and after he got through played leapfrog all the evening for relaxation, doea not your admiration fade into veneration?” Pitkins said that he guessed so, and then asked the name of the gay and festive old gentleman. “Knott,” replied Briggs, wanning up to hi< subject Abijah Knott, and a tough knot he is. Now, gentlemen, maybe you’ll think I’m lying when I tell you that he attributes the longness of his life to his always smoking seventeen cigars a day, and never forgetting to wash the back of his neck. In fact, I never saw such a lively old potato bug. We had a ball a week or so ago, and he was there, every time. Danced all the time, played the fiddle for the Virgina reel, helped get supper ready, and sang ‘Auld Lang Syne’ like a lark, coming home in the morning. “He’s got an amazing muscle for a man of his age too. What do you think of carrying a piano up four pairs of stairs and lowering a Herring’s safe out of the window.

“Besides he likes his fun, the old man does. He went down to a wrestling match the other night, threw the champion of the United State over his head and won the belt. And, come to think, have any of you noticed that gorgeous vest he wears?” Briggs waited for a moment, bnt as nobody seemed to have noticed it he continued: “Well, he got that as first prize for climbing the greased pole at the state fair. It made quite a talk at the time, and one of the York picture papers had an illustration of him as he appeared at the top of the pole, waving his vest in triumpth, and scraping the grease from his Sunday pantaloons.” “Is—is Mr. Knott married?” feebly inquired a timid-hearted auditor. “Muchly,” sententiously repliefl Briggs. “He had six wives, and it looks simply beautiful to see how nice he keeps their graves. Got a big sunflower at the head of each, and weepin’ wilier planted square in the middle. “But he ain’t a going to join them yet Not much. He is on the lookout for material to make a seventh funeral, and it would do your heart good to view the old feller’s rig out. He’s parted his wig in the center, got his false teeth patched up, and wears kaleidescope stockings with low-necked shoes. Tell you what, he runs the young men close. “But he never allows pleasure to interfere with business. The very day after his third mother-in-law’s funeral he went right to work and dug up over two thousand hills of potatoes, just as if nothing had happened.” “Did he know any of our Revolutionary heroes?” asked Squire Pitkin. “Did he? You bet! Played tag with George Washington, hooked apples with Tommy Jefferson, and he told me himself how he and Miles Standish lamed old Powhattan by hitting him with a brick while playing “Duck on a Rock.” “That centenarian of yours,” interrupted Bald wick, “is an unblushing old liar. Admitting that he is one hundred and seventeen, now could he know Miles Standish?” “By gum!” cried Briggs, “that’s so!” And then he retired to the darkest corner of the store, and kicked himself all the evening for not being able to tell a story straight.

Live Stock in the Argentine Republic.

It need hardly be said that the main source of wealth in the Argentine Confederation has been the rearing of stock, and at the present time the paiiipa contains 60,000,000 sheep and 20,000,000 of cattle. It may not, however, be generally known that the cattle are all descended from eight cows and a bull which were brought to the new Spanish colony in 1553, by two Portuguese brothers named Goes. It is only within the last few' years that any endeavor has been made to ameliorate the original breed by crossing them with short-born bulls which have been imported from Europe. This cross is improving the milking qualities of the cows, but it is only in the ndighborhood of Buenos Ayres that this amelioration is appreciated, for on many of the largo grazing farms of the pampa there ard* not more thana half dozen milch cows out of 2,000,000 head. The occupier of the farm or estancia, to give it the local name, looks only to the hides and to the meat which, when dried and salted, are sent to Cuba and Brazil, where it is con sumed by the blacks. A farm of this description is estimated to bring in 25 or 30 per cent on the capital invested, and a square league of land, equal to about 5,400 English acres, will keep 3,000 head of cattle, a third of which will be sold every year at an average price of £2 8 shillings per head. The Courier-Journal thinks that the tailor can point out all the promising young men of the dav, and perhaps he can name the bulk of them* Thousands of families have had occasion to try the never-failing qualities of Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup, and they all unite ip the praise of thia wpdderful prescription.

Pretty Girls in St. Petersburg.

There is much good, Ido believe, in the Russian character. They are a laborious, long-suffering and easily-con-tented people. But they are, on the whole, and with rare exceptions in the low ranks an ill-favored race, small and puny, with remarkably plain features and dingy, sallow complexion. Very strict orthodox, I dare say, but ugly Christian withal; ugly men, uglier women I One may walk about these streets day after day and never meet with what in other countries would be called a pretty face. And it was the same in St. Petersburg, where the only splendid type of girl I met was at tbs railway terminus when on the point oi starting for Moscow, and even she, faultless as she was in face and figure, had a milk-white complexion without a shade of that pink which would so naturally have become her early youth.— London The New York Clipper lately cited the case of Capt. Jacob Schmidt, of Tompkinsville, Staten island, N. Y., who had been a great sufferer from rheumatism for many years. He used St. Jacobs Oil with splendid success.

Expectancy of Life.

Insurance companies are aware of the credulous weakness of those whoso lives they assure, and have, therefore, compiled numerous tables of expectancy of life for their own guidance, which are carefully referred to before a policy is granted. These tables have been the result of careful calculation, and seldom prove misleading. Of course, sudden and premature deaths, as well as lives unusually extended, occasionally occur; but the average expectancy of life of an ordinary man or woman is as follows : A person 1 year old may expect to years longer ; of 10 years, 51; of 20 years, 41; of 30 years, 34 ; of 40 years, 28; of 50 years, 21 ; of 60 years, 14; of 70 years, 9; of 80 year. 4.— Scientific American. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Sunday Phonograph: The editor of the Pikes County News has been cured of rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil.

Sonl Burying.

Whenever an Abchasian is drowned his friends search carefully for the body, but, if this is not found, they proceed to capture the soul of the deceased, a measure which then has become a matter of importance. A goatskin bag is sprinkled with water and placed with its mouth, which is stretched open over a hoop, looking toward the river, near the place where the man is supposed to have been drowned. Two cords are stretched from the spot across the river, as a bridge on which the soul can come over. Vessels containing food and drink are set around the skin, and the friends of the deceased come and eat quietly, while a song is sung with instrumental accompaniments. The soul, it is believed, is attracted by the ceremonies, comes over on the bridge that is laid for it, and goes into the trap. As soon as. it has entered—that is, when the bag is inflxted by the breeze—the opening is quietly closed, and the bag is taken up to the burial place, where a grave has already been prepared. The bag is held with the opening to the grave, the strings are untied, and the bag is squeezed into the grave, and the burial is afterward completed. This rite is considered of equivalent value with the burial of the body, and the grave is treated with the same honor as if the body were really within it.— Popular Science Monthly. Buffbbeks from Constantinople should make one trial of Kidney-Wort and be cured.

A contemporary tells a good story of a poacher at Littlecot. This worthy, with whom love of sport was bred in the bone, bad set snares in the wood above the park-keeper’s homo, and, finding they were watched, turned his attention to the fish instead. Presently he saw the keepers come down under the fence for breakfast. He seized the opportunity in their absence to visit the wood, take a hare out, and put a trout into the snare! The disgust of the keepers cn their return can well be imagined.

RESCUED FROM DEATH. William J.Coughlin,of Somerville, Maw., says: In ths fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs, followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Db. William Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to feel l>etter, and U>day I feel better than for three years past. I write this hoping every one affl cted with diseased Jungs will take Db. William Hall’s Balsam, and be convinced that consumption can be cured. I can positively say it has done more good than all the other medicines I have taken since my sickness.

The Illuminator. The existence of good feeling on the part of the /AW Iffifi French Nation for the peotyy . MflL pie ofthis country is shown vSdtJUM oy the presentation of a colossal bronze figure of Freedom holding aloft the wffM torch of Liberty. Beauty, nr VIII with usefulness, is*, comJ’ bined in this immense ra 11 U work of art, as the bright, IB 11 il blazing torch will serve V I'l 41 the purpose of a beacon K 111 11 light in the .harbor of New a 111 York. There is another Ik’ R figure which will chal1_ J < lenge larger praise and admiration than even the great work above referred to. It is illustrated herewith, and represents the aged and worthy St. .Jacob, holding aloft in his hand that beacon which will guide aright all sailing upon the sea of life, whose waters abound with the shoals and dangerous places ofalckness and disease. The light it casts is designed to show that St. Jacobs Oil is the true and trusted means of keeping the body on its proper course, and of easing and “righting it should it be unfortunately east upon the shoals of rheumatism or other painful ailments. Thousands of grateful ones throughout the world have B roved the value and felt tne good of this Great erman Remedy, and are glad to recommend it to all needing the services of just such a remedy. In this connection Nr. John 8. Briggs, a well known citizen of Omaha, Neb., told a newspaper man that he was terribly afflicted with an acute attack of rheumatism in his back. The disease, which had been preying upon him for vents had drawn him out of shape. He resorted to every remedy known to nhysicians, but found no relief until he tried St. Jacobs Oil. one bottle of which effected a complete and radical cure. Another case may Justify reference: A VETERAN SEAMAN’S TROUBLE. Editor Inter-Ocean, Chicago, III.; I send you this, feeling that the information conveyed will be of material benefit to many of your readers. One of our oldest citizens, Captain C. W. Boynton, the Government Light-house keeper at this point, is probably one of the oldest seamen in America, having sailed twenty-six years on salt water. After this forty-six years’ service his eyesight failed him and he kept the Light at Chicago until the Government built the Gross Point Light here, when he was transferred. While seated in my ■ store this morning the Captain volunteered the following written statement: “This is to certify that I have been afflicted with rheumatism for twenty (20) years, both in my side and limbs. I am happy to say that, after using less than two bottles of tne St. Jacobs Oil, I am entirely free from pain, though still limping somewhat when walking, from long force of habit. C. W. Boynton.” Referring to the foregoing facts, I might allude to numerous similar cases that have come to my notice, but “a word to the wise is sufficient.” John Goebel, Pharmacist, Evanston, 11l

Diminished Vigor Is reimbursed in great measure, to those troubled with weak kidneys, by a judicious use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which invigorates and stimulates without exciting the urinary organs.
