MORMON TITHING SCRIP.

The Quper Substitute for Money Used by the Latter-Day Saints. If you go into the principal office of the tithing-house, says a Salt Lake City letter in the St Louis Globe-Democrat, you will see a tall young man handling what looks like money. He is behind a counter and the counter is protected by a high railing. The man glances through the window, then looks down at the bills, and then goes on thumbing them like a bank teller. He goes to and from a big safe, carrying bundles done up just as bills are, with little bands of brown paper pinned about them. Sometimes the man doesn’t stop to count, but takes the amount on the brown slip as correct and passes out the money. This is Mormon money. It is the tithing scrip. It is used to facilitate the handling of the grain, hay, produce, and live stock which come in. If you pick up one of these bills you will find it very much like a bank-note in appearance. In one upper corner is the number of the bill. In the lower left-hand corner is the hoc signo of Mormonism, a bee-hive. The face of the bill reads: “General Tithing Storehouse. Good only for merchandise and produce at the general tithing storehouse, Salt Lake City, Utah.” Each note bears the signature of the presiding bishop. On the back is the denomination again and a vignette of the new temple at Salt Lake City. The back also bears the wording: “This note is not current except in the merchandise and produce departments of the general tithing storehouse.” The engraving is well executed and the printing is well done. The bills vary in colors. There are greenbacks for one department of the tithing house, brownbacks for another, and so on. By using this scrip the church is able to create a market for considerable quantities of the tithing. This scrip is given out in dispensing charity, It is used for paying for work on the temple so far as the workmen can make use of it. Employes of the tithing house receive their salaries or allowances partly in scrip. In numerous ways the Mormon money gets into circulation.

Points About Canaries.

“Can’t you tell me of some antidote that I can give my canary?” asked a lady, the other day, of the proprietor of a Ninth street bird-store. “I’m afraid it’s growing blind, though I can’t imagine what is tho cause.” . “How old is your bird?” was the man’s questioning reply. “I’ve had it eighteen years—ever since I was a very little girl," she added, blushing. “Well, then, the cause is easily found, ” came from the smiling man. “Your canary’s blindness is due to old age. It’s on its way to the grave, and nothing can now restore its sight. “When birds live to a good old age, twenty years or twenty-five, or sometimes thirty, their sight often fades, and total eclipse settles down upon them. It is just as impossible to restore a bird’s vision at such a stage as to prevent an old man’s locks from turning gray. “There is, however, a species of blindness that is liable to victimize songsters of all feather and of all ages. This is of comparatively rare occurrence, and it is doubtless sometimes due to a cold which the bird has caught while hanging in a draught. Then cheap bird foods containing opium are very injurious to a canary’s health. “I believe, moreover, that a brass or painted cage is not the best thing in which to house one’s lemon-colored troubadour. The bird’s continual pecking at the wires must result in a considerable amount of paint or lacquer finding its Way into its maw, and this surely cannot be wholesome. Besides, in the case of brass cages, after the lacquer is nibbled away, verdigris accumulates on the wires, and this poison must have a baleful effect on the yellow peckers within, acting as a prolific source of sightlessness.”—Philadelphia Record.

Rheumatism According to recent investigations is caused by excess of lactic acid in the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly in the joints, and causes the local manifestations of the disease, pains and aches in the back and shoulders, and in the joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists. Thousands of people have found in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a positive and permanent cure for rheumatism. This medicine, by its purifying and vitalizing action, neutralizes the acidity of the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the whole body. “I was laid up for six months with rheumatism, and used many kinds of medicines without good result till one of my neighbors told me to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. When I had used half a bottle I felt better, and after taking two bottles I think I was entirely cured, as I have not had an attack of rheumatism since.” Eugene H.

Treatment or Drunkards in Norway.

An habitual drunkard in Sweden and Norway is treated as a criminal in this sense, that his inordinate love of strong drink renders him liable to imprisonment, and while in confinement it appears he is cured of his bad propensities on a plau which, though simple enough, is said to produce marvelous effects. From the day the confirmed drunkard is incarcerated, no nourishment is served to him or her but bread and wine. The broad, however, it should be said, can not be eaten apart from the wine, but is steeped in a bowl of it, and left to soak thus an hour or more before the meal is served to the delinquent. The first day the habitual toper takes his food in this shape without the slightest repugnance: the second day he finds it less agreeable to his palate, and very quickly he evinces a positive aversion to it. Generally, eight or ten days of this regimen is more than sufficient to make a man loathe the very sight of wine, and even refuse the prison dish set before him. This manner of curing drunken habits is said to succeed almost without exception, and men or women who have undergone the treatment not only rarely return to their evil ways but from sheer disgust they frequently become total abstainers afterward.

To Those Interested.

Hastings, Mich., April 22, 1839. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich: Gents—This is to certify that I had been troubled with rheumatism iu all its forms for the past twelve years, and was confined to my bed at various periods from three to six months at a time, and I could get about only by the aid of crutches. I employed several first-class physicians of this city, none of whom effected a cure or gave temporary relief even. About two years ago I was induced to try Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup, and, after taking a few bottles I experienced relief, and now consider myself cured. I unhesitatingly recommend this medicine for rheumatism. I know what it has done for me, what physicians could not do, i. e., cured me of rheumatism. Mbs. H. J. KENFIELD. Ask your druggist for it. I certify to the above statement. Fbed L. Heath, Druggist.

The Tide That Led to Fortune.

The great flood that brought disaster upon the dwellers in the Conemaugh Valley turned Gen. Rosecrans from his quiet way and made a miner of him. He was in Virginia when that great flood came on. Jt cut him off from communication with Washington and kept him for awhile in a barren country. While he was thus cut off a farmer proposed to him to go and look at a mountain supposed to have iron in it. The General is a student, and has dipped into most of the mysteries of nature that science knows.. He is fond of investigation. He went to the mountain and now the mountain is coming to him. It proved to be a valuable iron mountain. He formed a company and bought it. . Tha company entered into a contract with a Pitisburg company by which the latter agreed to develop the mine at their own expense and deliverthe iron on the cars at a price that would pay the company owning the mine well. Without any expense beyond the first purchase money for the mountain the company is getting its ore out profitably. Sixteen chambers are being worked, and, to use the miner’s expression, the ore melts like butter. —WusA'inffton letter.

Perfectly Fiendish.

To be assaulted by the three imps, dyspepsia, constipation and liver complaint—a trio of satanic birth—is perfectly fiendish. This often happens. The hateful three, however, soon whisk away to the nether inferno when Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is employed to evict them. As a stomachic and alterative of disordered conditions of the bowels and liver, it is speaking within bounds to say that there is not in existence a medicine so widely known as this, and few indeed which have received such positive and authoritative sanction from the medical fraternity. The fact that it promptly relieves, then extirpates, the three maladies of most common occurrence, ought and does make it the most popular of family medicines. But, in addition to that, it has achieved the faremost reputation as a preventive of and remedy for chills and fever, rheumatism, nervous and kidney trouble. Not long since Dong Claypo’e, of Webster County, West Virginia, and a friend went hunting, etc., taking with them a couple of hounds. It was not long till the hounds scented a fox and gave chase. They ran him till about 3 p. m., when he went to hole. One of the dogs returned the same day; the other was unheard from for more than a week. Hazel Cowger, who lives near where the fox was holed, heard the suppressed barking of a dog for several days in succession. On going to the place Cowper found the dog unable to free himself, having filled the loose earth behind him as he dug after the fox, and being exhausted from the want of food and water. After clearing away the obstruction and given refreshment, the dog was able to come forth from his dark and solitary abode, the fox being dead, having been confined there without food and water and not much air for nine days.

* Thebe is more Catarrn m tins section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the lust few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

A Society Woman’s Rebuke.

A few years ago a strange mistake was made in New York society. Two ladies of the same name gave an entertainment within a few doors of each other’s houses. Many persons got into the wrong house. The hostess who gained that dav tha admiring comments of all New York was the one who received perfect strangers as if they were her best friends, and made them her friends by that gracious reception. She knew how awkwardly they would feel when they found out their m stake; she did all she could to prevent their feeling awkwardly while with her. The other lady, less well bred, said to a person who ha 1 come into her house under a mistake, “I think you have got into the wiong house.” , “Yes, madam. I have," said he. “I thought before I entered it that this was a lady’s house.” It was a terrible revenge, but, under the circumstance 3, an entirely justifiable one. —Ladies’ Home Journal. You may sing of the beauty of springtime That glows on the cheek of the young, But I sing of a beauty that's rarer Than any of which you have sung. The beauty that’s seeii in the faces Of women whose summer is o’er, The autumn-like beauty that charms us For more than the beauty of yore. But this beauty is seen too rarely. The faces of most women lose the beauty of youth too soon. Female disorders are like frosts which come to nip the flowers which betoken good health, without which there can be no real beauty. If our American women would .fortifj - themselves against the approach- of - the terrible disorders so prevalent among them, by using Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, their good looks would be retained to a “sweet old age." This remedy is a guaranteed cure for all the distressing weaknesses and derangements peculiar to women. Db. Pierce’s Pellets, one a dose. Cure headache, constipation and indigestion.

Rad way’s Ready Relief.

Of all the patent medicines that have sprung into life during the last half century, none has stood the test of time better than “Radway’s Ready Relief,” the great conqueror of pain. To sailors at sea, frontiersmen on the plains, farmers and families generally, there is no truer friend. In all cases ot sprains, bruises, backache, pain in chest and sides, headache, or any other external pain, Radwav’s Ready Relief is an infallible remedy. Give it a trial and vou will find that it performs all that is required of it. a_ A duck recently killed near Jamestown, N. Y., has caused great excitement in that region. In its crop was found a piece of gold quartz. The bird had been feeding on the borders of Chautauqua Lake near by, and it is claimed that an examination of the locality revealed many more specimens of rich gold-bear-ing quartz.

An Editor’s Experience. Major Sidney Herbert, a well-known journalist inagricultural circles, writes April 18th, 1889: Somefive years ago I wrote a letter stating that Swift’SSpecific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since that time I have had no return of the rheumatio troubles, although frequently exposed to the influences that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had a similar experience, and are firm in their conviction that S. S. 8. brought a permanentcure. The searching power of this medicine is shown in the fact that it developed a scrofuloustaint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago, and has removed the last trace of it. Ihave also tested 8. 8. 8. as a tonic after a severe attack of malarial fever, which kept me in bed forthree months, and am convinced that its curative and strengthening properties insured my recovery from that illness, as I was in a very low condition of health. Sidney Hekbebt, Atlanta, Ga.
