of

GREENFIELD, IND., June 26, 1894. I believe the Acme Ointment is a CURK for piles. I know I have been afflicted with them for 25 years, at times severely, and I used about one-half a box and I believe I am free from them in fact, I think I was well after the first weeks' application. The species was itching and pro trnding piles. I should be disappointed to hear of a single person failing to be benefited by its use. D. H. GOBLE,

Prop. Home & School Visitor. MORRISTOWN, IND., Dec. 14, 1894. One box of your Acme Ointment cured me sound and well of the blind and itching piles. It. has been several months since I have used it for that purpose, and I know it is permanently cured. We use the ointment for burns, sore hands and every thing that an Ointment might be used for, and always with the same result—a cure. I was afflicted with the piles for over fourteen years.

Eight years ago in July they averaged '7:J.6(J and this was the lowest until August 10, 1893 when they reached 72.76 but now they have slumped to the lowest ever known.

BUSINESS FAILURES.

There We recover Fifteen Thousand in 1894

UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

Liabilities in th« United States Were S17V 992,856 and In Canada 917,616,315—A

Decrease in the Farmer and an Inerease In the Latter Country, but This Is Not Surprising. mm:

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—R. G. Dan & Company's weekly review of trade says: Failures for 1894 are fully reported tiiis week, being 13,885 in the United States and 1,856 in the Dominion of Capada. Liabilities in the United States were $1755,992,856 and in Canada $17,616,215. Neither the decrease of over half in this country, nor the increase of over 40 per cent in Canada is surprising, but the statement shows that most of the decrease in the United States is in manufacturing liabilities, while the entire increase in Canada is in liabilities of trading concerns.

A few states, including New York and Pennsylvania, show more failures than in 18U3, and in a few southern 6tates the amount of liabilities is larger, bat in the central and western states very much smaller. In 11 of the last 38 years, reported liabilities have been larger than in 1894, though for this year aud 1893 the statement is confined to commercial failures, as it was not in formor years.

The failures have been 12.5 in every thousand firms doing business the liabilities have averaged $132.77 to each firm in trade, and in proportion to the volume of solvent business represented by all clearinghouse exchanges $2.63 for every $1,000.

The complete review of different branches of business places in a clear light, the fact that prices of commodities are at the lowest level ever known. Eight years ago in July prices averaged only 73.69 per cent of the prices, or the same articles and in the same markets Jan. 1, 1860, and this remained the lowest point ever touched until Aug. 10, 1893, when the average fell to 72.76, but early this year prices dropped below all previous records aud have never recovered, the average Dec. 26 being only 68.73 per cent of the prices in 1860.

The range was very little higher at the end of the year, and about as low Oct. 25. The fall since a year ago has been 5 1-2 p^i cent, but very unequal iu different branches. In iron and steel products 14 per cent, in wool 13.4 per cent, in woolens aud cottons about 15 per cent. These changes contrast sharply with the decline of wages paid per hour's work, which average only 1.2 per cent less than a year ago.

The condition of industries has been largely governed by the fall in prices and while production is much greater than a year ago, the aggregate increase being fairly measured by the increase of 8.24 per cent in hours of work done in November, compared with the previou year, it has been the controlli ny featur in almost every important industry that consumption lias not kept pace with the output, and has iiot sustained prices.

In iron and Steel, the lowest prices of the year are at the close and the lowest ever known, the demand calling for less than liaif the usual quantity of rails, with large decrease in many other branches, though probably the use of structural forms was larger in 1894 than ever before. The woolen industry records a production for the year about a quarter less than usual, and for the last four months 28.47 per cent less than in 1892 in quantity of wool consumed, but in value of product the decrease was -of course greater.

The year has been especially noteworthy for the lowest prices of wheat and cotton on record. Both suffer from wholly unprecedented accumulation of stocks, the crops being large. Outside this country wheat production has not increased enough to justify a price of 60 cents at New York, and the aspumulation is largely due to false reports of yield, intended to frighten buyers and raise prices. The same influence has been felt in cotton, which is also affected by world-wide depression in business and decrease in consumption of goods. In other produce markets the year has been relatively less important.

BATTLE WITH MOONSHINERS. „*_?

In This Case the Revenue Officers Come Out Victorious.

||LITTLE ROCK, Jan. .5.—A battle between a posse of revenue officers and a gang of moonshiners occurred in Vanburen county Wednesday. The officers discovered the still hidden in the mountain's gorge in -in out of the way place. It was running full blast, five or six men being at work in ic.

The posse crept up to within a short distance of it before their presence was discovered. The moonshiners made a fight and for a while bullets flew in every direction. Putnam, the leader of the moonshiners, was shot through the head and fell dead on the ground. His nephew, a boy of 17. tumbled over, mortally wounded. Two moonshiners were captured. None of the posse were injured.

SAVED BY FASHION.

LIFE AND LIMB PROTECTED BY THE FADS OF STYLE.

Tall Collars, High Heels and Turned Up Trousers as Life Savers—A Man Held Back From a Watery Grave by His

Chimney Pot Hat.

Onr dress has often been ridiculed for its want of beauty. We are told there is nothing artistic and in many cases little pertaining to comfort in nineteenth century garments.

The habiliment of some of our continental neighbors is far superior, both in elegance and usefulness, to our own, BO it is said, but we do not question this statement, as it is not our present dnty to pick out the drawbacks of a dress that has satisfied us so long.

Ugly as is our customary mode, it has more than once been the means of saving the life of the wearer or been instrumental in preventing accidents which might have proved serious or fatal.

A gentleman wearing a collar of extreme height and rigidity while reposing idly on a heathery moorland fell into a dose, but roused himself to find something moving about his neck, and was just prevented putting his hand on the place by a companion, who at that moment glanced up from his paper.

The troublesome visitor was a large adder, which, coiling its slimy body round the gentleman's throat, would probably have bitten him severely but for the unusual height of the linen band that has been a favorite point of attack of the dress reformers for an inconceivable period.

By an adroit movement the friend caught the reptile behind the head, thus preventing injury to his hand. The collar, however, was impaired in the momentary struggle, and an ugly stain was pointed out as the deadly ejection of the poisonous fangs.

High heels—those peglike elevations which we are induced to believe have caused untold misery to the feet of women of fashion—have at least one good service to their credit—in saving the life of a fair mountaineer.

This foolish person essayed the climbing of precipitous cliffs in French kid boots, with heels of the peculiar bell shape once so fashionable, and on the present occasion it was well that sho did not wander far from her companions.

Hor activity, despito the unsuitability of her leathern elevations for mountaineering, was irrepressible, and venturing too near the edge of a jutting rock sho slipped, :ud hor frightened companions expected to see her dashed to atoms on the lodges below. iV

But, no! The high heel which had occasioned her full became entangled in the thick brier branches and was sufficiently strong to support the venturesome woman for tiio few moments until her friends could obtain a firm grip of her limbs and restore her safely to tho mountain path.

When examined, the shoe was found to be nearly dismembered—tho heel hanging by a few rivets only. An ordinary mountain boot, with a flat, square heel, would have offered no anglo of support for the briers, and under other than the present circumstances the climber would certainly have met with a terriblo death.

An incident somewhat similar, but of not so dangerous a charactor, has been reported of a young fashionable, who had occasion to ride on the outsido of an omnibus through a crowded thoroughfare.

Leaning over the rails, ho overbalanced himself and would liavo boon thrown in the midst of tho traffic but for the reason that the bottoms of his trousors were turned up in that unreasonable style once more prevalent than at prosont with the exquisites of fashion.

Tho turned up hem was slung on the edge of tho rail, wliilo the scared youth dangled, with frantic arms sprawling, over the windows, with a face as red as a beet root

A fellow passenger released him from above, and he was permitted to drop into the arms of the conductor. A fall from such an elevation would have meant a dislocated shoulder or a broken leg at least.

What romance or history can be connected with the ugly chimney pot hat? Yet quite lately one of these inartistic creations saved the life of a venturesomo gentleman. Strolling beyond high water mark, he suddenly discovered himself caught by the tide, and being hemmed in by beetling, inaccessible rocks all means of escape seemed cut off.

The water rushed in, and the terrified gentleman was taken off his feet, with not a boat in sight to render him deliverance nor a person to hoar his distressed cries. Unable to swim, ho would soon have been drowned but for a little occurrence which proved his salvation.

During his struggle the silk hat ho

wore

was washed off his head, and the man clutching at it as the only attainable object was surprised to find that it buoyed him up.

His arms were clasped, encircling the brim, while the top of tho hat, partly submerged, resisted the whtcr. By maintaining this position ho was enabled to keep himself afloat for nearly 15 minutes, at the end of which time a boat rounded tho cliffs. Tho boatman, observing him, quickly rescucd him from an inevitable fate.—Loudon Tit Bits.

His Lessons.

"I am tryii to learn to rido a bicycle," remarked an olderly bachelor who walked somewhat stifiiv, to a friend whom he encountered on the street. "I'm just going home from my lesson now. I've had more tumbles than usual this afternoon, and that's saying a good deal.'' "How loiigaro your lessons?" inquired tho friend. "Half an hour," responded the bicyclist with a rueful countonance—"25 minutes on tho floor and fivo in the air is my usual proportion!"—Philadelphia Time6*

HOME AND HAPPINESS

THE HEARTHSTONE THE REPUBLIC'S CORNERSTONE.

The Marriage Question—Woman Suffrage Versus the Queenship of the Home—A Property Qualification or at Least an Educational liuali) Needed For lloth Sexes.

There is not a single institution of earth, whether sacred or secular, but had its rise in the family. In the careless indifference to the family relation lies involved one of the greatest dangers threatening our republic, for the republio rests upon the union of the states, the state rests upon the family, and the family upon respect for marriage. There can therefore be no permanent hopo of human happiness outside of the family relation. There are in the United States alone more than 8,000,000 of bachelors—that is, men past 80 years of age who have never been married.

Literature has very little to say of the bachelor, because he has been of so little importance in the world's history. In olden times the duty to many was imperative and the penalty for not marrying so heavy that bachelors were very scarce during the earl£ centuries. Marrying is not for all. There are men whose characters arc so corrupt that I their offer of marriage is an insult to a good woman. Some men, whose vocations require them to be away from home most of the time, ought not to marry.

Clubs and Saloons.

And I would add that men who spend their evenings at saloons and clubs had better have remained single. Such men need clubs applied to them to make them realize their marriage vow. Let us look at the excuses men give for not marrying. One says, "I am unable to support a wife. It has become a prevalent sentiment that a man must make his fortuno before he marries, and that his wife must have no share with him in the pursuit of it, in which most of the pleasure consists, and young people think they must set out with as large and expensive an establishment as those who have been married for years. This foolish notion fills our country with bachelors, endangering virtue and promoting vice.

No doubt thousands of young men cannot marry because the girls of this generation are too incompetent, indolent and extravagant, yet the fault is by no means altogether with the women. Young men, as a general thing, prefer the gaylv to the plainly dressed woman. Then, too, young men are too proud themselves to commence tlieir married life as their fathers began—in a quiet and economical way.

Nearly all our debauchery and crime is committed by unmarried men or by those who have wives equal to none. Nine times out of ten the successful man's wife is tho crowning factor of his success. She is the great power behind him to urge him oil to manly deeds and noble endeavor.

Woman's Sphere.

In all my utterances on this question I have sought to ennoble woman and stimluato hor to noblest endeavor. Some months ago I signed a petition favoring woman suffrage, but added to my name, "Limited to property qualification, or at least an educational basis." I would liavo t-lie educational basis apply to man as well. And yet the more I think upon this subject of suffrage for woman tho moro I feel that such an enlargement of woman's sphere would violato the laws of her being and subtract from her high mission, which her own nature emphatically defines.'

This agitation of giving woman equal clianco with man when they have a like endowment for a like service will result, I hope, in giving woman an equal amount of pay for the same work when it is as well done as by the man. I would trust tho educated woman of New York with the ballot sooner than I would man. The Protestant women would vote I right on the school question and on the temperance question. But the 'right to vote means vastly more.

Political privilege implies tho responsibility and the capacity for civil duty. Is society ready for the revolution which such a change would imply? Would not woman be spoken to then as if she were a man? Some one has said, "When the spirit of chivalry, with its genuine loyalty to sex, is gone, the glory of tho republic will bo extinguished forever."

My mother could not make a minute's speech, but sho brought up threo boys who are preaching the gospel, and sho is fulfilling her sublime, God ordained mission in her boys, who by their patriotism are helping to put purer blood into tlio body politic, and thus she, like thousands of other mothers in America, is oxalting tho moral tone of tho nation and purifying tho fountains of society.

If all the women filled fuil tho wide scope of their being as God lias so distinctly defined it in the queenship of tho home, there would bo little work to do in politics, morals or religion. Society will never be reformed until woman does her duty at home. In America everything depends on tho home. It is an influence mightier than tho ballot. Tho future of our free institutions lies largely in our love as a people for our homes. The cornerstone of our republio is the hearthstone.

A Word For Old Maids.

^"Nothing so much causes ill assorted marriages and mischievous results as making "old maid" a term of reproach. Many girls have been hurled into matrimony by the dread of being so stigmatized and have repented the step to their dying day. Many women can give moro lionorablo reasons for living outside the temple of Hymen than their foolish sisters can for having rushed in. Some have never found their other selves. Providential circumstances may have prevented tho junction of these selves, and is not a life of loneliness moro honorable than a loveless marriage? Is not single blessedness preferable to double cursodncss?
