An EEglish walking hat in fancy blue straw shows a trimming of navy blue crape folded around the crown, with loops oi fancy edged navy blue ribbon carried high in front, and starting from beneath ahrizontal bow of lemon-colored ribbon, with ends falling on the brim, which latter is turned up on left Bide and faced with blue velvet. A rough-and-ready black hat, having the brim faced with yellow Tascan braid, is Oinamented in front with long, vertically placed bows of black ribbon with Leghorn colored edges, and of Leghorn colored satin striped gauze ribbon, the different ribbons forming two distinct series of bows. Another tyie is a fancy straw bonnet of fawn or ecru tint, trimmed with embroidered dull rose hued ribbon in bows starting from the crown and covering the top. Tied among the ribbons of the left side Cand being erectly upheld as if carried in the hand) is a bouquet of violets, lilies of the valley and moss-rose-buds, the design of the ribbon also showing these flowers. The strings are formed by narrow, deep cardinal velvet ribbon with purled edges, starting from the crown and crossing in the back of the bonnet. A fancy straw of similar color, having the front faced with a mat of pearls, is adorned with high bows of ecru and of shrimp pink ribbon. Among more novel styles is a bonnet of black point d'esprit net, with soft crown, the brim being edged with jet. On the top is laid a cluster of pale pink roses, over which is an umbrella formed of point d'esprit lace. A bat of jet network has the adornment of a fan of jet at the back. Above are faint yellow rosea tied with jet black velvet ribbon and veiled by a fall of Chantilly lace, the edge of the bonnet being finished by a double row of large cut jet beada. An ambfr bonnet in very open net is trimmed with bows of golden brown velvet ribbon and coral pink ribbon with fancy edpe, the front being encircled by a close, full wreath of velvet calceolarias. A pretty little French bonnet is in pale bine crape shirred on a foundation with a coronet of jet leaves and at the top a knot of velvet with blue nbbou bows. Among dainty evening bonnet? ' one of embroidered lisse showing beneath it a triple row of pearls eurTOUcding the edge. Three yellow roses at the top are held by soft loops of pale blue cTosfiiin ribbon, a series of ends being caught backward in waves upon the crown. A narrow ribbon of olive velvet, with purled edge is passed around the bonnet between the crown and slightly lifted brim, the strings being also extended around the edge of the crowa on which their upper end3 are crossed m loops, and fastened both here and on the sideä by pins with shell-heads. One of the handsome large hats is a brown GaLcsborough, trimmed with fisherman's net and owl's wings, with intermingling tows of brown gros grain picot ribbon. The brim, turned high on the left side, shows a faciBg of trown velvet. Old-fashioned ribbons are revived to hold rivalry with new fabrications of the class in many varieties. Those with pompon and fancy edges are most favored. Yellow and green are not supreme colors, but hold a fair and desirable place. The latter is seen in innumerable shades of mosses and bulrushes, and the eucalyptus is another fancy ot the season. The ellect of whatever may be chosen is chiefly due to arrangement. All the difference between art and ignorance is illustrated in the manner of tying a boy, and even more certainly than'the fact of a man at a dinner party being proved a barbarian or a person of refinement by placing his fork on the plate with the prongs pointing upward or downward The latter circumstance might be traced to introspection, which is inconceivable as connected with ribbon. BONE PRETTY COSTUMES. A pretty style for a girl of fifteen ha a plain skirt of striped or figured boucle, xepbyr, pink, and olive-green, with a flounce of embroidery In silk put on flat near the edge. Over this a blouse polonaise of plain pale pink zephyr, gauged in front at the neck and waist end fastened down the left side tinder a band of embroidery. The polonaise forms a short rounded tunic in front, with raniers and a short puffed drapery at the sides and back. The collar and cuffs are of embroidery. This dresj may be prettily varied by cuttinz the polonaise in a low, rounded form at the neck, edged with embroidery and finished olT with a chemisette of tbe figured zephyr and a straight collar of embroidery. A charming evening dress for a girl of sixteen is made of blue su.-ah; the Ekirt is rdjrf d with a flcur.ee of Oriental lace. The ides are kilted, the tablier h a broad flounce of Oriental lace ovee a deep plaiting; of surib.

It is of very curious Ehape and bears at each point an enameled figure in red, green, and blue. The barbaric style of jewelry is considered the most beautiful iust now; so silver mountings are replacing gold. Really the models should be in bronze, as those copied belong principally to the bronze age, but no woman would fancy this ultra-faithful reproduction. The new fans of crape powdered with shining spangles, having all the colors of the rainbow, are very effective in the evening. It looks as if the powder of crushed jewels had been eif ted over them. A lovely example is a delicate painting on black of Christmas Eve in a French village. The rubies f the light?, the diamonds of the virgin, the sapphires of the moonlight, form a sparkling whole most elegant for evening wear. An elegant fan is of black gauze apparently spangled with diamond dust. In the center is the monogram of the owner in imitation diamonds. The effect is superb. It is the latest note ot elegance, and all our belles are having their monograms thus vorked in their gauze fans. Colored veils are not so much worn; they are cot considered to be generally becoming, and are also bad for the sight. Fine veils spotted with white or black and white veils spotted with black are worn crossing the face exactly where they are most becoming. Some ladies cover the upper lip, but the line just below the nose is that most generally adopted. The veil is put on first, iu order not to spoil the efftct of the bonnet. Gloves ot kid are wojn, though not so much as during the winter, when hardly any other vere seen; but with bright weather the gants de Suede have made a Jdrvjggla for supremacy over the beautiful embroidered silk gloves which are so great a success; but as the season advances the Suede glove must conqnor on account of the heat of the sun, which, when it becomes very hot, spoils silk-gloved hands. Embroidered hand-made linen is an Irish novelty. It is made in white and creamcolor, and the designs are worked in polished llax thread. ('old and silver hairpins in a variety of styles are worn. Some of them are exceedingly ornate, others quite plain. There has never been a larger choice of ribbons, nor have they for years been so much used for trimming as this season. They have all a picot or fringed or fancy edge of some kind, and though there is a large choice of ail widths, the one most used in millinery is certainly narrower. All stripes go down ibe ribbon, not across. Some of them are graduated and there is much beauty apparent in the amalgamation of the colorings. Gold picots are a new idea introduced on a ribbon of a solid color. Tnere is no end to the variety of stripes introduced. Tartan stripes have came in again, especially in wide ribbons and plain corded ribbons. CURIOUS, USEFUL. AND SCIENTIFIC. A writer in the Hoston Transcript explains to his own satisfaction how the glas eaters chew and swallow glass. He thinks they educate their throats as does the sword swallower, and then introduce a tube which receives the glass and holds it until it can be removod without detection. Said Professor Tritchett to a St. Louis reporter: "Ye?, the days are getting longer almost imperceptible, however, the extension being at the rate of two seconds iu a century. This 'slow-up' on the part of the earth in its daily rotation is caused by the tides, which act as friction brakes upon the earth's axes, and thus decrease the earth's velocity. Two seconds in a hundred years is not much, but in the impenetrable future their effect will be felt." Frofessor Barrett, in a lecture, at Doublin, on "Fluid Jets and their Vibrations," showed that a jet of water emitted in water would shorten up and flare in response to a musical note of proper pitch ; ana a jet of smoke in air would be similarly affected by a musical cote; and that a musical note is produced when a small flame is brought underneath a long jar. This phenomenon has been applied to the explanation of the dark lines in the solar spectrum. Tobacco blindness is becoming a common aflliction. At present there are several persons under treatment for it at one London hospital. It first takes the form of color blindness, the sufferers who have smoked themselves into this condition being quite unable to distinguish the color of a piece of red cloth held up before them. Sometimes the victim loses his eyesight altogether. Although smoking is to a large extent the cause of the malady, and so gives it its name, teavy drinking is also partly responsible. Deafness appears to be exceptionally preva'ent in Kennebec county, Maine, and in Martha's Vineyard. A recent scientific investigation of the matter shows that in both districts there is abundant evidence of heredity and especially of atavism. In the familiej affected there were also found blindness, irsanity. idiocy, and deformity, and in some cases a long history of consanguineal marriages. In Martha's Vineyard the distribution cf deafness coincides with that of certain soils, and its eastern boundary is also the typhoid fever line. According to a French paper the Count de Lesseps was foretold by an ancient Egyptian oracle. It says: "Herodotus relates that when Neco, King of Egypt, undertook the work of nniting the waters of the Mediterranean and lied Seas, by means of a canal, tiüO.GM) men perished in the work. He then caused the work to be stopped and consulted an oracle, receiving the reply, 'A barbarian will finish thy work-.' The gentleman who alighted upon that bit of history copied upon a sheet of paper the paragraph from Herodo tus and carried it to de Lesseps, who, having read it, took his pen and appended. 'The barbarian prophesied by the oracle F. de Lesseps.' " Mr. Thomas Steven's chances of completing bis bicycle tour around the world appear by the latest advices tobe exceedingly small. Iiis belief when he left Teheran that he would be permitted to pass throueh Ilussim Central Asia seems to have been ill-founded. At the last moment he and his iron horse have been forbidden to traverse the comparatively safe route through Turkestan and Siberia to the Pacific. There is hardly one chance in a hundred that he will carry out the scheme he now announces of reaching India through Afghanistan. The order of the British Government is still in force forbidding Englishmen to enter Afghanistan at all, except by command of the "GovernmentThe Ameers of that country have been noted for their antipathy to white tourists, and to avoid complications Great Britain has done its best to keep unauthorized persons out of Afghanistan. Col. Valentine Baker in 1S7.J, end ( rl. MacGregor in 1875, set out to travel through the Ameer'a dominions. They had to g:ve it up before they crossed tue boundary, and Mr. Stevens will be remarkably fortunate if he has any better success. Among Southern and West Indian negro a bot'le of "obean water", put under a man's doorstep is supposed to bring him the worst possible luck. It is worse than finding a white cock's head lying in the yard with the beak pointed toward the door. When a sorcerer wishes to give a mild touch of his supernatural power, begets some one to bury near his victim's door a bottle containing a toad, a spider, rusty nails, muddy water an I other articles.

THE HOME.

It la not doubted that men have a home In that place where each one has established his hearth and the sum of his posessions and fortunes, whence he will not depart if nothing cailj him away; whence if he has departed he seems to be a wanderer, and if he return he cease to wander.

The Century Plant. (To a Child.) In my garden grows a plant Very stiff and very stately, And its curving leaves I grant That my eyes admire greatly. But though I may watch and wait All the years that God shall send me. Watch it early, 'tend it late. Not a bloom that plant shall lend me. Once within a hundred years Doth it burst to blossom only, And forgotten will be tbe tears. And no more shall I be lonely. All delight in earthly bloom Will be less than nothing to me, When those splendid flowers perfnme All the walks and haunts that knew me. So I find my love Is more For the rose that blossoms yearly, Than for all the hidden store That this stalely plant hold, dearly. Tetter Is it, child, to show Daily love and tender sweetness, Than to hide in deeps below All that gives your life completeness. Better far to fill the air With a common, fragrant pleasure, Than to stand aloof and rare With an unseen glowing treasure. Bloom to-day, and if the frost shall to-morrow nip your beauty, Then you will not, dear, have lost All that lies in active duty. Yet. if God commands you, wait With, a splendor in your growing, Stand w ith meekness in your state Till the bud is ripe for blowing. James Berry Bensel, In May Wide Awake. WHAT CEOMETKT AVILI DO FOU A BOY. How President Lincoln Became an Expert Keasoner. I The Congregationalism Now, boys, let us have a little talk about geometry. You know it has been a famous study for boys for many ages, Euclid was an old Egyptian, who lived about three hundred years before Christ. His treatise on geometry has been the foundation for all modern works upon the subject. Plato, who lived a century earlier, founded a noted academy at Athens, and it ij related that over its entrance he placed the celebrated inscription, "Let no one ignorant of geometry enter here," This branch ha3 been considered an important part of a good education for three thousand years. Yet I hear many boys in these days saying, "I don't like geometry. I wonder what good it will do me." I once heard a very interesting story about Abraham Lincoln, which may helD you to understand the "good." Before Mr. Lincoln was a enndidate for President, he made a tour through New England and lectured in many cities and towns. Among other places he spoke in Norwich, Ct. A gentleman who heard him, and was struck with his remarkable logical power, rode the next day in the cars witn Mr. Lincoln to New Haven. During the ride the following conversation took place: "Mr. Lincoln. I was delighted with your lecture last evening." '"Oh, thank you, but that was not much cf a lecture, I can do better than that." "I have no doubt of it, Mr. Lincoln, for, whoever can do so well, must inevitably be able to do better." "Well, well, you are a good reasoner, aren't you? That is cute." "But that reminds me," continued the gentleman, "to ask how you acquired your wonderful logical power. I have heard that you are entirely self-educated and it is seldom that I find a self-educated man who has a good system of logic in his reasoning. How did you acquire such an acute porer of analysis?" "Well, Mr. G., I will tell you. It was my terrible discouragement which did that for me." "Your discouragement what do you mean?'' "You see." said Mr. Lincoln, that when I was about eighteen years of age I went into an orlice to study law. Well, after a little while I saw that a lawyer's business was largely to prove things. And I said to myself, 'Lincoln, when is a thing proved?' That was a poser. I could not answer the question. What constitutes proof? Not evidence, that was not the point. There may be evidenoe enough, but wherein consists the proof ? "You remember the old story of the German, who was tried for some crime, and they brought half a dozen respectable men who swore that they saw the prisoner commit the crime. 'Vel,' he replies, 'vat of dot? Six men schwears dot dey saw me do it. I prings more nor two tozen goot men who schwears dey did not see me do it,' "So, wherein is the proof I I groaned over the question, and, finally said to myself, 'Ah, Lincoln, you can't tell.' Then I thought, 'What use is it for me to be in a law office, if I can't tell when a thing is proved?' So I gave it up, and left the office and went back home, over in Kentucky." "So you gave up the law?" "Oh, Mr. G., don't jnmp at your conclusions. That isn't logical. But, really, I did give up the law and I thought I should never go back to it. This was in the fall of the year. Soon after I returned to the old log cabin, I fell Jp with a copy of Euclid. I had not the slightest notion what Euclid was, and I thought I would find out. I found out but it was no easy job. I looked into the book and found out it was all about lines, angles, surfaces and solids. But I could not understand it all. I therefore began, very deliberately, at the beginning. 1 learned the definitions and axioms. J demonstrated tbe first proposition. I said, that is simple enough. I went on to the next and the next- And before spring I had gone through that old Euclid's geometery and coald demonstra'e every proposition like a book. "I knew it all from beginning to end. You could not stick me on the hardest of them. Then, in the spring, when I had got through with it, I said to myself, one dav, 'Ab, 1o you know when a thing is proved?" And I answered right out loud, 'Yes, sir I do.' 'Th-n vou may go back to the law shop.' And I went." "Thank you, Mr. Lincoln, for that story. You have answered my question. I see now where you find your logical acume, you dug it out of that geometry." "Yes, I did, often by the light of pitchpine knots. But I got it. Nothing but ceometry will teach you the power of abstract reasoning. Only that will tell you when a trdng is proved." Sa'd Mr. G., I think this a remarkable incident. How few men would have thought to ask themselves the question. When is a thing proved? What constitutf s proof? And how few men of eihtesn would have been able to master the wbole of Euclid in a single winter, without a teacher. And still fewer, after they had done so much, would have realized and acknowledged what geometry had done for them; that it had told them what proof wa?." So, my y lriR frien .!, you may per'ians see by this nciiient what geometry will do for a boy. -iThln Slice nV -luierirni llitory, "What a racket!" "Yes; it is those fellows with their dram, and dear knows wba'," repütd N'e 1. "They enjoy it, I suppose," continued Lou. "I presume so." And Ned look as if he did not think it such a dreadful thirg a9 Lou seemed to consider it.

"They are playing Yankee Doodle,'' said Lou, after a moment's pause. "Of course they are; that is the proper way to chow a fellow's patriotism," returned Ned; "seems as if Yankee Doodle would never wear out It has heen played ever Bince I can remember." Lou laughed long and loud. It was quite Improper for a girl as she very well knew, but then it was too funny. "As long as you can remember," 8he repeated as soon as she could catch her breath ; then she went off in another peal of laughter. "Why, Ned, Yankee Doodle is a hundred years old, to say the least; it isn't likely to wear out after standing that test" "A hundred years old!" repeated Ned; Lou, are you sure?" "Quite sure. Some say older; they even think it was written in England, in the time of Cromwell, only it was Yankee Doodle, and the line, Yankee Doodle came to town, had reference to Cromwell's entering Oxford, and the 'feather in his cap,' etc., was a hit upon his wearing a plume fastened with a peculiar knot called a macaroni. I looked up macaroni in the dictionary and found out that it means a collection of things thrown together. I can imagine just what kind of a knot that was all ends hanging out all ways! But 1 would much rather believe that the tune and words belong to Revolutionary times, as long as it has become a National air. borne think the word Yankee is simply a corruption of the way the Indians pronounced English. They said Anglais then ; instead of getting it nearer right they got it more and more corrupted until they brought up on Yankee. I believe it was iust after the battle of Lexington that Yankee Doodle was adopted as the National song." j "Well. I didn't know all that before," said 1 Ned. "Do you know the origin of our other National airs?" "Hail Columbia was written, I mean the words, by Joseph Hopkinson, a lawyer and judge of Philadelphia; the tune was composed by a German as a march in honor of the first Fresinent of the United States, and was called The President's March; some time before the words were written. The Star-Spangled Banner was written about seventy years ago; when we have talked up a little farther in our history we will come to the Bombardment of Baltimore. There is a pretty story about the writing of that song. The British fleet had anchored below Baltimore, and while land troops moved against the city the fleet bombarded Fort McHenry, one of the defences on the river below. Mr. Francis Key was a prisoner on a British slap, and as the bombardment was kept up through the night he and a friend who was with him were very anxious as morning came to know the fate of the Fort And one said to the other as he looked out at the first streak of light. 'Do you see the flag?' The old flag was still waving from the Fort ar.d the question suggested the poem which Mr. Key wrote out: Oh! jay can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Oh! say does the star-ypangled banner still wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" Lou hummed the lines, then she added, "Since I read the story the song seems to mean a great deal more than it did before." "It does make it seem different," said Ned thoughtfully. "Say, Lou, can't you imagine them straining their eyes before it was really light enough to see, trying to catch a glimpse of the old flag? That flag meant a great deal to them, didn't it?" "Indeed it did! But I suppose it really did not reean any more to them than it does to us cow." "I don't understand how," said Ned. "Why, the flag told them that the Fort had not surrendered, that the British had been unsuccessful in their attack; and it tells ns every time we look at it floating out on the breeze that out government still stands, and that we are still protected by the power that holds up the flag." "But after all, it is different," said Ned. "That was in war time, but nobody is firing at the flag now." "So much the more reason to be glad." "How came we to have the flag, anyway?" asked Ned. "Ned, why do you say anyway?" "Because it seems to fill out kinder finish up a sentence." Lou laughed. "It is like the snapper on the end of a whip, and I suppose you think it will bring out a quick resjonse. Well, I happen to know something about the flag. When we made the large flag at the academy, Irofessor Comstock told us about it, and the history of the Hag wi'l take us back to the period we were talking of in our history talks. In January, 1770, the British held Boston, and Washington's army were encamped at Cambridge. It was then that the American flag was unfurled. It had thirteen stripes, red and white as now, to represent the thirteen colonies, but in the corner, on tlue ground, instead of stars were two crosses combined; the St George Cross and the Cross of St. Andrew, which is like the . letter x. The next year, by Act of Congress, stars took the place of the crosses. The r umber of stripes and stars was changed by Congress two or three times, but in 1S13 it was settled that there should be thirteen stripes and a star for every State." Faye Huntington, in The Pansy. A Tale of Canvasbacks. From the Tall Mall Gazetted Mr. Bateman was passionately fond of canvasback duck, vhich he imported into England. The canvasback was to be the piece de resistance of this particular Sunday feast of which Mr. Irving spoke. For days before Mr. Bateman had spent hours inclose confabulations with the cook respecting the preparation of the birds. The evening came. The guests were sharp set They had hors d'eeuvres in plenty to increase their rest for the ducks. At last the great moment arrived. Horror on horror ! ! ! Instead of being hot and frizzy (that is the word Mr. Irving used) the canvasbacks were cold and flabby. I torn that moment tbe spirits of the guests fell, and fell from boiling point to zero. They quaffed bumper after bumper, and drank bottle after bottle. Of no avail. The horrible miscarriage of the canvasbacks weighed on the host and guests. They bade each other adieu tearfully, and went home to their wives or their lodgings. Time went on, and whenever Mr. Irving met Mr. Bateman he always tried to discover the reason of the great canvasback fiasco. But without avail. Mr. Bateman was always silent cn the subject One day the two men met at the club. "Bateman, have you heard the news?" asked Mr. Irv ing, in a sepulchral tone of voice, to his host, of that memorable night "No, what is it?" "The cook's dead," replied Mr. Irving, more mournfully than ever. "Then I'm d J glad of it," replied Mr. Bateman. "Why? ' exclaimed the other, rather shocked. "He cooked those canvasbacks over gas." And Mr. Bateman marched off never to recur to

tee subject again. How Old Hickory Went Oat of Office. IBcn: Terley Toore In the Boston Eudgetl Among many interesting incidents in the life of "Earthquake Allen," a sobriquet which his powerful voice gained him, was his account of his visit to Andrew Jackson late on the night of March 3, 1S37. Mr. Allen had come to Washington to enter the Senate at noon the next day, when the Presidential term of General Jackson would expire. On reaching the White House Mr. Allen, who was well known to tbe attendants, was Shown into the President's bed cl amber. Chief Justice Trtney and Senator Fcrsythe. of Georg'a, afterward Minister t) Spain and Stcrery of State, were already in the room, and Jackson himself, active and to a cert.iia extent restless, a usual, tood in the middle of tho floor smoking a short corncob pipe. He congratulated Allen warmly upon hi? election to me Senate, and thf ii, railing to a young Irishman who aited as his body s rvantannjwaiter, turned to hi Visiters and said: "Gentlemen, I think th occfl.'icn will warrant me in breaking ovr one of mv own rules. Let. ns drink a little Madeira." The wine was brought Jackson took a tmall glassf ul it was the first liquor he

had been known to touch for several months and then, asking his friends to excuse him for a few moments, he finished writing a letter upon which he was engaged, sealed, directed it and lighting his cob pipe agiin took a whiff or two and stood silently watching the face of a great, tall, oldfashioned clock which stood in one corner. It was five minutes before midnight, five minutes before the beginning of the day upon which Andrew Jackson would cease to be President of the United States. Slowly the minute hand moved round the dial. The silence in the room became almost painful, it was broken by the clear sharp bell of the clock striking the last hour of a day which had gone forever. Then Jackson, starting suddenly and looking toward his friends, said with a quick, nervous laugh: "Gentlemen. I am no longer President of the United States, but as good a citizen as any of you." Subsequently he expressed to them a feeling of great relief at the prospect of escaping from the official cares which had begun to weigh most heavily upon him, saying to Allen, among other things of the same sort: "I am very glad to get away from all this excitement and bother." That day Van Buren was inaugurated President of the United States, and Jackson, at the end of his second term, left the White House left it so poor that he was obliged to borrow from his friends $5,000 with which to rebuild "The Hermitage," his old family mansion, which seme time before had been burned to the ground.

The man who will be chosen President of Yale College at the meeting of the corporation to be held in a few weeks, is Timothy Dwigbt, grandson of the Timothy D wight who was President of the college from 179Ö to 1817, and now Professor of sacred literature in the theological school. No other candidate is now mentioned at Yale. Among other reasons given for the preference to be shown him is that he has expressed opinions regarding the management of the college which show him to be peculiarly well qualinea ior the place. Professor Timothy Dwight conies of a famly which has given eminent scholars and thinkers to the world. His grandfather is said to have been the best President Yale ever had. He was born at Norwich, Conn., fifty-eight years ago, is well preserved and vigorous. Iiis accomplished wife presides at his home in New Haven, which is the center cf a large social circle. The life of the student and the instructor presents in itself few materials for the biographer, but is fruitful in consequences which have a large share in determining the history of the future. There is no quesiion that Dr. Dwight's elevation to the Presidency of Yale will imply the continuance of its superior influence among the leading centers of American culture. By the way, ex-President Woolsey supports Professor Dwight in his candidacy. The Finest Man in the World. lUtica Morning Herald. A good deal has been heard from the uncles, grandfathers, cous:n3, and schoolmates of the lady Mr. Cleveland is accredited with selecting for his bride, but little-except at second hand, from the lady herself. An important quotation from a letter to a Buffalo lady i at last made public. The recip' ent is to be a bridesmaid, and to her the bride could write freely. The letter shows at once the kind, warm heart of the writer, and that the President is a lover of the loving kind. Miss Folsom writes: "I wish all you dear girls could have such a devoted sweetheart as I have. . Grover Cleveland is the finest man in the world." This confirms the hopes of an anxious nation that this is a love match, and that Miss Folsom has the appreciation of her love common to girls about to marry their first choice. "That Miss Jones is a nice-lookim; girl, isn't she?" "Yes, and she'd be the belle of the town if it wasn't for one thing," "What's that?" "She has catarrh so bad it is unpleasant to be near her. She has tried a dozen things and nothing helps her. I am sorry, for I like her, but that doesn't make it any less disagreeable for one to be around her." Now if she had used Dr. Sage's Catarrh Bemedy, there would have been nothing of the kind said, for it will cure catarrh every time.

Beware of Scrofula Scrofula Is probably more general than any other disease. It is insidious In character, and manifests itself in running sores, pustular erurtions, bolls, swellings, enlarged Joints, abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood's Sarsaparllla expels all trace of scrofula from the blood, leaving It pure, enriched, and healthy.

Scrofula Is one of the most fatal scourges which afflict mankind. It is often inherited, but may be the result of improper vaccination, mercurial poison, uncleanliness, and various other causes. Chronic Sores, Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerous Humors, and, in some cases, Emaciation and Consumption, result from a scrofulous condition of the blood. This disease can bo cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I inherited a scrofulous condition of the blood, which caused a derangement of my whole system. After taking less than four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla I am Entirely Cured and, tor the past year, have not found it necessary to use any medicine whatever. I am now in better health, and stronger, than eyer before. O. A. W'illard, 213 Tremont St., Boston, Mass. I was troubled wiih Scrofulous Sores for five years; but, after using a few bottles of Aver's Sarsaparilla, the sores healed, and I have now good health. Elizabeth Warnock, 54 Appleton street, Lowell Mass. Some months ago I was troubled with Scrofulous Sores on my leg. The limb was badly swollen and inflamed, and the Bores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy failed until I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, By taking three bottles of this medicine the sores have been healed, and my health is restored. I am grateful for the good it has done me.
