Tobacco Caused Consumption—Notobac Cures the Tobacco Habit and Consumptive Gets Well.

Two Rivers, Wis., Feb. 2.—{Special.]—Great excitement and interest has been manifested in the recovery of an old-time resident of this town, Mr. Jos. Bunker, who has for several years been considered by all his friends a hopeless consumptive. Investigation shows that for over thirty-two years he used three and a half pounds of tobacco a week. A short time ago he was induced to try a tobacco-hadit cure called “No-To-Bac. ” Talking about his miraculous recovery to-dav he said: “Yes, I used No-To-Bac, and two boxes completely cured me. I thought, and so did all iny friends, that I had consumption. Now they say, as you say,' ‘how healthy and strong you look, Joe,’ and whenever they ask me what cured my consumption, I tell them No-To-Bac. The last week I used tobacco I lost four pounds. The morning I began the use of No-To-Bac I weighed 127 i pounds; to-day I weigh 169, a gain of 411 pounds. I eat heartily ana sleep well. Before I used No-To-Bac I was so nervous that when I went to drink I had to held the glass in both hands. To-day my nerves are perfectly steady. Where did I get No-To-Bac? At the drug store. It is made by the Sterling Remedy Company, general Western office 45 Randolph St., Chicago, but I see by the printed matter that it is sold by all druggists—l know all the druggists in this town keep it. I have recommended it to over one hundred people and do not know of a single failure to cure.” Capt. James L. Risk, of the Mallory Line steamship City of San Antonio, is a true 6on of the sea. He was born on board the Baltimore clipper bark. Lightfoot, which at the time of his birth was in the harbor of Nagasaki, Japan. His father was in command of the Lightfoot. Capt. Risk's brother Daniel is also a shipmaster.

When War In Declared

Against a man’s happiness by his stomach, the enemy may be pacified and brought speedily and easily to terms. That potent regulator of digestion, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, disciplines the rebellious organ thoroughly. Indigestion arises from weakness of the stomach, and the food in it, for want of the power to digest, decomposes and acidifies, giving rise to heartburn, flatulence and pain, besides a (multitude of symptoms both changeful and perplexing. But peace soon reigns when the great stomachio is resorted to and used with persistence. Dyspepsia gives rise to morbid discomposure of mind, and even sleeplessness and hypochondria in chronic cases. To the complete dismissal of these the Bitters is fully adequate. Liver complaint, constipation, debility, rheumatism and malaria are completely subdued by this genial medicine. Speak but little and well if you would be esteemed a man of merit.— Trench.

ST. VITUS’S DANCE, Spasms, Convulsions, Dizziness, Fainting Spells, Nervous Prostration and those nervous conditions brought on by functional disorders are permanently cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Irescription. It’s a strengthening nervine and restorative tonic, prescribed by an eminent Physician for all those distressing “ weaknesses ” and irregular ties common to women. Mrs. Adam Berk, Albany, Berks Co., Pa., writes: “Dr. K. V. Pierce: Dear Sir—miMy sister, Miss CorBlß Wffl'W'MKSvWi della Merkel, had St. _ | Vitus's Dance.

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the'needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 60c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of 'Humor, from the worst Scrofula dowtHo a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. Send postal for book. A benefit is aiways experienced from the first bottle, and a'perfec* cure is- warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing' through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful jn water at IwAr time. 'Sold by all Druggiste

ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.

CEREMONIES HANDED DOWN FOR MANY GENERATIONS. Customs Among the Ancient Romans—ln Every Country the Unwritten Law Mixes Dp Young Folks, True Love, and Expreslve Gifts. In Honor of a.Martyr. Superstition is nearly as old as man, and that it exists now quite as strong, though not as widespread as in the early ages - of our world, is proved by the various rites and ceremonies practiced on certain days throughout the year, says a writer in Tabla Talk. Even those who ridicule them, yet participate in them “just for fun, ” have a lingering half-suspicion in their minds that “they might come true;" especially is this the case when inclination points the way. St. Valentine is the acknowledged patron saint of lovers; and the peculiar customs connected with the day were referred to by writers nearly 500 years ago. The St. Valentine, who suffered martyrdom on the 14th of February, was one of fifty-tw’O saints of that name, but nothing has ever been found in his life, cr In the lives of any of them, that would give occasion for the singular observances of the day. It has been maintained that it was an ancient custom among the Romans during the Lupercalia, celebrated in the month of February, for the boys and men to draw the names of their future wives in honor of their goddess. Februate Juno, and that the Christian clergy finding it absolutely impossible to abolish this heathen practice changed it to a religious ceremony by writing on the slips of paper instead of the names of women those of particular saints, whom they were to follow and imitate during the year. I have been told the custom still remains in the Roman Catholic Church to select on SC Valentine's day a patron saint lor the ensuing year. In England, Scotland, France, and some other parts of the continent it was formerly the custom of the young people to meet, write each other's, or some of their acquaintances’, names on a slip of paper, which were thrown into a box from which they were drawn, the men taking the girls’ names and vice versa. The person thus drawing became one's valentine, and for a whole year was bound to devote himself to the one who drew him. Sometime-, of course, this led to real engagements between the parties, and often tricks were played in such a way that the slips of paper fell into the liands they were meant for. During the fifteenth century married people could bo chosen as well as those who were not married, and often very valuable presents were exchanged. It is recorded that the Duke of York gave to a lady who was his valentine that year a jewel worth £BOO, and that the following year, having been chosen by toms pne eke, she received a ring worth £3OO. if In after years the word valentine was transferred from the people to the missives they sent. These missives, instead of being the fancy creations in lace, satin and ribbons which we now see, were selections of poetry, more or less sentimental, ranging in 'style from the rude couplet

“The rose is red, the violet blue. The lily is sweet and so are you," to the more elegant quotations from the poets. These were copied on all kinds of paper, plain or fancy, as suited the taste of the sender, were sometimes accompanied by pen sketches of two doves, lovers’ knots, cupids, and other sentimental devices, and, addressed to the beloved object, were slipped under the front doors on the morning of St. Valentine’s day or sent by mail. In small towns they were left with the postmaster, who was usually the general storekeeper, to be delivered, without charge, to his customers when they called for their mail. Of late years this pretty custom has been brought into disfavor by the so-called oomic valentines, which are a disgrace to the name, though they are used only by the lower classes and occasionally by mischievous children. The valentines which are not comic can be bought as low as 5 cents, and from that upward to as many or more dollars, and some of them in the form of cards are really very pretty; but it seems a foolish waste of money. A few pennies spent to perpetuate an innocent custom is not so bad; but, for the dollars, books, pictures, or some useful article could be bought and sent as valentines, in place of those hideous and useless combinations of laces and ribbons which one does not know what to do with. They are not even like Christmas and Easter cards, some of which are little works of art, and can be used as book-markers and pasted in scrapbooks to amuse children, but the valentines are only dust-catchers whose final destination is the ash-barrel.

Some Valentine Gifts.

Books and pictures are favorite selections, and may be j ut-chased at any and all prices, writes Frances E. Lanigan in an article on “The Valentines of -To-day” in the Ladies' Home Journal. Us course volumes of poems and love stories lend themselves more readily as appropriate to the season than essays or histories, but any tSvorite hook cannot fail to please. Photographs, etchings, engravings and water colors are framed daintily in white and gold or white and silver, and make charming offerings at the shrine of St. Valentine. Frames of silver for card photographs are heart shaped, and

AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART.

come singly or in piirs. Many are engraved with mottoes. Owen Meredith’s, ‘ Do not think that years leave us and find us the same, "is lor a double frame, and a line from the old Scotch ballad, “Fine pictures suit in irames as fine,” surround the picture of the maiden who sends thi9 gift to her “Valentine.” Jewelry will always be in vogue for valentine presents. Rings, pendants and pins are the most usual of selection; jewelers also show an endless variety of purses, card-cases, bonbonnieros and vinaigrettes in shining silver. Pincushions come also in many shapes; a novelty in these is made fiom two large silver hearts joining a cushion of velvet, which is intended as a receptacle for bonnet pins. Writing tablets, portfolios for stationery, glove boxes, photograph cases, are all welcome gifts to any girl sweetheart, a s they may be kept in daily use as reminders of the absent fiancee. Sachets for handkerchiefs, veils, laces and gloves are. extensively used. They are made from gauze, bolting cloth, silk, satin or leather and embroidered with appropriate designs. They range in price as high as S2O, and many of them are hand-painted.

HOW TO CELEBRATE.

A Day for Kind Deeds as Well as for Mirthful Sentiment.

had been a practice upon the feast of the Lupercalia, which took place in the month of February, of indulging in a social game not unlike a modern “necktie party.” The names of a certain number of young maidens were placed in an urn by a corresponding number of young men. Then each young man drew forth, as chance directed, a maiden’s name, and she was accounted in the sport his sweetheart for the ensuing year. How often that which began in jest continued in earnest history dees not tell. Sometime during the fourth century there lived at Romo a bishop or presbyter—exactly what priestly office he bore is matter of dispute—by the name of Valentine. He was renowned throughout the church ’for deeds of charity and for loveliness of character. Soon after his death he was canonized, and it was apjxnnted that the anniversary of his birth, tho 14th of February, should be henceforth known as St. Valentine’s day. Naturally and easily the old frolics of the'Lupercalia were transferred to this new festival, but in the change there came to bo a more generous, thoughtful and earnest meaning. Historically, therefore, this 14th of February that has returned onoe more is a day for kind deeds as well as for mirthful sentiments connected with the tender passion. It Is a pleasure to observe that a ro-

festival of “St. V* I ’Valentine "s Day” I suggests to the h:storical student an apt illustration of the wa y which tho fathers of the Chris'dfln tian Church were accustomed to deal isJBJjl, with such pagan in--1 stitutions as they Ja. found 'it impossible ) wholly to eradicate. / Their policy was to A let the institution I && stand, but to give it j \§F a new meaning suita/ able to the new reRoman days there

rival to some extent of this more refined significance seems to be taking place. Year by year the “valentines" offered for sale become more tasteful, even artistic. There are fewer of the once common specimens of what is grotesque, if not offensive. Yet there will always beat least a lingering of the original idea, and tho ecmic side of the day will probably never quite go out of mind, certainlV not so long as people continue to re a a “Pickwick" and to laugh over the celebrated trial on Feb. 14 of Mrs. Bardell’s breach of promi-e suit and to sympathize with Mr. Samuel Weller’s efforts at inditing a love letter to accompany his pictorial representation of Cupid piercing a heart with love’9 arrow. There is an immemorial idea to the effect that birds choose their mates on St. Valentine’s day, and Tennyson may have had in mind both the human and the feathered race in their relations to the tender passion, whon he wrote: Iu the spring a livelier iris changes on the burnished dove: * In the spring a youiig man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

LOVE RHYMES.

Poems Pretty,' Sentiments Sweet, Slake Valentine* Various—All So Neat. One of the well known firms which are supplied with valentines from one of the finest lithographers in tho world, says a New York paper, has a collection of ail that is dainty and desirable. One bears the title "Forget Me Not," and the first verse under the little blue and gold covers reads: My love! oh, how I love her! Mv love, so fair and sweet! She 'minds me of the daisies ThaPspriug beneath her feet Her eyes are blue as violets, Her lips like rubies rare. And many a little sunbeam Is hiding in her hair. My love Is ever with mo In dreams, by night and day. Go, gentle flowers, and whisper, “Forget me not, I pray.” A valentino to sen 1 to a child is a small affair of pasteboard cut iu six separate shapes like pressed wild roses pinioned in the center. Little baby fuc3B decorate the outer sides unil versts the inner. One of them reads; Fresh as the daisies And grand as tlie spring— This Is tho greeting These wee rosebuds bring. Another made in the same 6tyle but in the shape of pansies: Oh, may these ilow’rets fair convoy

A STICKING PLASTER SUGGESTION.

The loving thoughts I fain would say. St. Valentine, Cupid & Co. is the title given to a dainty little volume bearing “Love’s Journal.” Those are the sentiments expressed within: FEBRUARY 14. What time, what place, where'er I he, From Cupid’s charm I can.not flee, In dreams nocturnal. In life jllurnal, E'en when 1 ope the office Journal! The rogue looks out at mo In his mirror’s gleam. With a sunbright beam Thy sweet face do I see! Oh, little god with golden dart, Love's deepest Joy thou dost impart; Watch o’er and guard my dear one's heart And keep It true to me. “A Cure for Wounded Hearts” is probably the most unique valentine of all, because of its mingling of humor and sentiment. Tho love token is issued in the form in which the chemists sell pocket court plaster—that is, in a tiny book inclosed in a pasteboard envelope. On the fly leavos within are given: CUPID'S PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HEARTACHE. A squeeze of hand—a kiss or two, A gentle sigh of “I love you,” 'I ogether with some trueness shako,. And that will cure the worst heartache. FOR LOVE SICKNESS. Place a nice new golden band On third finger of left hand, A vow to honor and obey Will cure love sickness any day. TO KEEP A HEART WHOLE Never gaze on sweet girl faces.

Family Life of Sioux Indians.

A writer in Outing gives an amusing account of “Sketcning Among the Sioux.” He says that the kindness and patience of these people in their d( mestic relations are very noticeable. Tho women have certain duties to perform, as among other races; but the men do not disdain to help them on occasions any more than does a white man of good disposition. We never saw, during our whole residence in the Sioux village, a single family quarrel, and the children were rarely if ever punished. One example to illustrate this characteristic pleased and amused us not a little. One day, Flying-bv's wife came to our tent and asked us t > lend her a small hand-mirror which we possessed. We gave it to her, and then watched her to see what she would do with it. About a mile and a half or two miles away pi horse-race was in progress, watched by three or four hundred mounted Indians. The squaw took the mirror, stood in front of tho tent, and reflected a beam of sunlight from the glass along the f round in line with tho group of Inians. It was only two or three minutes before a solitary horseman ffeft the band and came tearing over the prairie toward, us. It was t lying-by, who sprang off his horse at our door and looked inj quiringly around. His wife had gone back to her cooking, and was apparently quite heedless eff his cqming. To his question whether Borne one had pot sent for him, we could only reply tnat we had seen his wife playing neliostat with our mirror, whereupon he went over and spoke tp her. In a moment he returned, and with a grin told us that, knowing he had money, his wife had called him Jiome for fear he might be tempted to 'gamble it away. He chuckled over her Erudonce, afld told us that he might ave made a lot of money if he had stayed; and not a cross word was spoken. Happiness has no history.—Balzac

New Treatment of Epilepsy.

Dr. Gibier maintains that ho husdiscovered a new cure for epilepsy, and has submitted his results to the Bacteriological Society. The patients are treated hypodermically, the injections being made in the side just above the hip joint. The material used is taken trom the brain of a sheep, great care being tuken to secure absolute purity in the matter used. The aim is to supply the nervous force with a naturally prepared food, from acleanand healthyanimal, which will at once assimilate with the blood and nourish it, but not stimulate the nervous system. It is claimed that tho matter introduced not only invigorates the patient directly, but is also most beneficial in adding to the favorable effects derivable from other therapeutic agents. It is said that the improvement following on its application is, in the majority of instances, steady and satisfactory.

The Bill for a Dinner.

One often hears something funny by simply keeping one’s ears open. A day or two ago I overheard a well-known Union Club chappie ordering a dinner at Del's for quito a large party. He was most careful about getting everything just right, but the most circumspect thing of all that he ordered was tne whispered admonition to tho head waiter: “And be sure to soo that the bill is not brought to the table after dinner.” This was surely a great piece of consideration, not only for himself bid for his guests. There is always an awkward pause at every dinner given in a public restaurant when the bill is presented. The guests all try to look as if they hadn't eaten anything at all, while the host, as he runs his eye down the long list of items, wonders how they could have oaten so much.—New York Recorder.

Tariff and Taxation.

Tariff duties and Internal revenue taxation on Incomes and corporations are oxciting public Interest, but.of quito ns much Interest are those things which tax the system und requlro at once tut external remedy. On this subject, with special recommendation, Mr. Pierce I). Itrown, Uridgewater, Mass., says: “In accidents trom all kinds of athletic sports, to reduro sprains and bruises, I have used St. Jacobs Oil and'always found It most Tollable ” Also, Mr. U lb Bands, Mar gum, Oklu., writes: «I have usod St. Jacobs Oil for sprains and rheumatism and would not bo without It for anything.” Mr. lb Lodbettor, Denton, Texas, says: “1 have used St, Jacobs OH and It Is the only thing I over saw that would cure toothache In ton minutes’ time,” und It Is usually prompt and sure for frost-bites. All of these communications are of recent date, showing unabated Interest.

Cur, ass, you ar a man of no legs, 1 wish to enter my bowie in your skull." . A conference was hold, and tho writer, a new-comor, was visited by a body of inhabitants and asked indignantly to road his lettor aloud, and say what he moant by it. 110 read: “Ole Baumgartz, Esq.
