Unfortunatc Poor.

"* Scotland, in common with other civilized countries, has now a poor-law which provides for her beggars, but there was a time, not very long ago, when those who could not or would not work were obliged to obtain sustenance according to certain recognized customs. Some of these wandering tribes carried a meal-poke about with them, and the householders upon whom they called gave alms in oatmeal or barley meal, either by the single or double handful. Oatmeal was always preferred by the mendicants, as it found everywhere a ready market. A class of beggars common in Ireland and Scotland were those known •as the Hand-Barrow Mendicants, who lived in a manner suggesting the district school-teacher’s “boarding ’round.” They were always disabled creatures, and were carried about from one house to another, either seated upon barrows or reclining on bundles of rags. When one was set down at a farmer’s •door, it required the strength of two persons to transport him to the next house. In some cases, if the mistress of the house was alone when a mendicant arrived, she was obliged to keep him until her husband and servants -came from their works and could reHove him to his next refuge. These beggars must have suffered almost inconceivable misery from exposure to the weather, to say nothing ■of being jolted about from point to point. Some had no legs, others could not use their limbs at all. There is a story to the effect that ‘two young men, tiring of their task of Temoving a beggar woman to a distant “hamlet, accomplished for her a marvelous cure. They were obliged to ford the River Esk on their way, and suddenly, in the midst of the passage, treated her to a cold bath, out of which she immediately scrambled, and though she had lost the use of her legs, she took to her heels and ran! Another class of people, now provided for by the poor-laws of Scotland and Ireland, were the idiots and imbeciles who once required the personal care of almost every village in these countries. Formerly all vigorous imbeciles in Scotland were supported by going the rounds of the parish, and working for their board and clothing.

An Awful Scheme.

I have heard lately of a country library which is run on so ingenious a principle that I feel bound to state it for the benefit of such of my readers as may be concerned with similar institutions. Though in some sense a public library, the books are not given ■cut free, a small sum being charged, so much per day, for the use of them, and the library is open but two days in the week, and then only for a couple •of hours. The consequence is obvious —a man takes out a book and finishes •it perhaps on one of the off days. Then the work is laid aside, and he never thinks of it except on a day or at an bour when books are not received, and the result is that books are kept out for a week or two, at least, and a corresponding revenue accrues to the library. The advantage of this plan is two-fold. Few books are read (always a great point gained in a public library), and for those that are read a large fee is extorted from the reader. It is superfluous to add that the books in this library are carefully wrapped up in brown paper, and that the person who presides over it is eminently well suited for the post.— Boston Post.

“Try Not the Pass.”

Having had some dealings with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which proved very satisfactory to all concerned, a well-known citizen remarked to a very pleasant official: “Now, I will take a run to Washington; just •give me a pass.” The official, not large physically but immense quizzically, said, “Certainly.” In less time than it takes to tell it, the citizen was comfortably seated in the parlor car. The handsomely uniformed conductor entered as the train was rolling around the big curve at Kidgley street. “Tickets!” he said. The neatly folded pass was produced by the citizen. The conductor seemed puzzled. Then the “pass” was handed politely back. The following is the pass: “To all toll-gate keepers on the Washington pike Pass him free, his name is 'O’Leary.” The fair was paid.— Baltimore Sun,

An Early Fall.

He —I love the autumn very much. Yes, you know woman was created about that season of the year. She —I had never heard so before. Pray, how did you ascertain the fact? He- You remember it tells in the Bible how Ete was created just before the first fall.— Omaha World.

Yes, They Have.

“How things have gone on and improved since I was a boy!” exclaimed an old gent as he laid down his pen and blotted his letter. “For instance, dt wasn’t thirty years ago that no one had any particular way of spelling ‘shugar.’ Now everybody spells it just as I always said it ought to be spelt.” There is a report at Pittsburgh, Pa., that Krupp, the great German gunmaker, contemplates setting up an establishment in Pennsylvania, so that in case of a war in Europe he can supply guns to any nation that wants them. ' The most widely separated points between which it is possible to send a telegram are British Columbia and -New Zealand, via America and Europe.

What Is Catarrh?

Catarrh is an inflammation of t’ e mucous membranes, and may alTact t.ie Head, throat, stomach, bowels. or I ladder. But catarrh of the head is the most common, often coming on so gradually tnat it has a Aim hold before the nature of the trouble is suspected. Catarrh is caused by a cold, or succession of colds, combined with impure blood. Its local symptoms are a sense of fullness and heat in the forehead,dryness in the nose and back part of the throat, and a disagreeable discharge from the nose. When the disease gains a flrm hold on the system it becomes chronic, and is then exceedingly dangerous and treacherous, liable to develop into consumption. Fortunate is it that we have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla the remedy for this ever-in-creasing malady. It attacks at once the source of the disease by purifying and enriching the blood,which in passing through the delicate passages of the mucous membrane soothes and rebuilds the tissues, giving them tendency to health instead of disease. and ultimately curing the affection. At the same time Hood’s Sarsaparilla builds up the whole system, and makes one feel that he has taken a new lease of life. Each arrondissement of Paris will henceforth be provided with a mortuary depot to meet cases of which the following is a type: A man died recently in a cab and the body, upon being brought to his furnished lodgings, was refused admittance by the proprietor. It was next conveyed to the hospital, which declined it on the ground that only living people were received. When transported to the morgue the remains were also refused, the morgue being only for the unknown dead.

III Winds

That blow “noebody any good” are plenty on the storm-vexed Atlantic, to say nothing of the occasionally typhoon-swept Pacific. The hapless voyager, when shaken up by the heavings of the “briny,” should take that pleasantest and most salutary of doses, a wineglassful of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the finest stomachic and tonic that ever warmed, regulated and quieted the human interior. Railroad jolted and steamship shaken travelers will exercise a wise prevision by supplying themselves with a sufficiency of this incomparable medicine for the journey. So will mariners, emigrants to the West, and others about to “seek fresh fields and pastures new.” Malaria, the scourge of newly cleared and mining districts, is completely conquered and surely averted by . the Bitters. Livtr, bowel, and kidney complaint and incipient rheumatism it annihilates.

Copy of Original.

Van Webt, Ohio, July 11. 1889. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich: Gents—lbis is to certify that I had what is called sciatic rheumatism so badly that I was all drawn over to one side. My hip sank in so that you could lay your hand in the cavity, and I could do no work for over one year. I tried some of the best physicians and did almost everything I could hear or think of, and nothing did me any good until I purchased a bottle of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup of Hines & Son, druggists. Van Wert, O. Four bottles cured me and have never had it since. Albert King. We certify to the above testimonial. Hines & Son. Druggists. The Emperor of Russia paid all the expenses during his late visit to the King of Denmark. The total amount was something terrific, since apart from the cost of the entertainment of the immense number of persons who were present at the schloss there was a vast outlay in connection with the army of Russian police agents, with whom the whole neighborhood was swarming for two months. “O, to be dead and done with the trouble That fills each day with a dreary pain." This is the moan of many a woman Who thinks she can never be well again. “It were better for me and better for others If I were dead,” and their tears fall fast. Not so, not so, O, wives and mothers, There’s a bow of hope in the sky at last, and it tells you that the storm of disease which has spread its shadow over you will give way to the sunshine of renewed health, if you are wise and try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It can and will effectually cure all female weaknesses and derangements, and no woman who has not tried it need despair, for a trial will convince her that it is the very th ! ng she needs to restore her to the health she fears forever lost. • To cleanse the stomach, liver, and system generally, use Dr. Pierce’s Pellets. 25 cents. Freckling, Mabel, is the revenge the sun takes on us for saying there are spots on him.— Puck.

The Handsomest Lady in Town

Remarked to a friend the other day that she knew Kemp’s Balsam for the Throat and. Lungs was a superior remedy, as it stopped her cough instantly when other cough remedies had no effect whatever.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury,

As Mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucus surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do are tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine; it is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. 49~501d by Druggists, price 75c per bottle.

Danger from Catarrh Catarrh is an exceedingly disagreeable disease, its Varied symptoms—discharge at the nose, bad breath, pain between the eyes, coughing, choking sensation, ringing noises in the ears, etc.—being not only troublesome to the sufferer, but offensive to others. Catarrh in also dangerous because it may lead to bronchitis or consumption. Being a blood disease, the true method of cure is to purify the blood by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which has cured many severe cases of catarrh. . “For several jears I had been troubled with a kind of asthma or catarrh in my throat, and had tried several kinds of medicine, but could find nothing to help me. My wife wanted me to try a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I told the druggist of whom I bought it that I had no faith in it, but would give it a trial, which I did.'l must say I was very much benefited by using it, and would recommend it very highly to any one having asthma or catarrh.” Elias P.
