Poor Old Dad.

There is a class of men who are seldom, if ever, appreciated at their true value. In this enlightened age they are commonly called “dad.” It is dad that humps himself year in and year'out, on the farm, in the office, store or workshop, in order that his boy and girl may go away to school and, upon their return home that the boy may have a fine horse and topbuggy, and the girl a costly piano. It is l)ad that hustles and cultivates great caloused knots on his hands and becomes stoop-should-ered in order that his offspring may revel in luxury and make tarnal fools of themselves. But, as is frequently the case, how miserably Dad is rewared for all his kindness. His sons and daughters have learned, at his expense, to despise his old-fashioned ways. They secretly laugh at the style of his Sunday coat and his bell-crowned hat. On Sundays, when his daughter has company and he would like to sit in the parlor and listen to the music, he is given in various ways to understand that his presence is not desirable, and the poor old man goes out into the kitchen and stays there the remainder of the afternoon. God help the son or daughter who goes back on Dad. Ju the catalogue of low dowrn cussedness, that of ingratitude to one’s parents is the most contemptible.— Morocco Courier.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the mother's favorite. It is pleasant and safe for children to take and always cures. It is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, and is the best medicine made for these diseases.

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS. This is one of the best egg .producers known. Hens have more difficulty in getting carbonate of lime to form the shell than any I other part of the egg, and fail to lay for this reason. Crushed Oyster Shell contains 96 per cent, of pure carbonate of lime, and one-third more eggs are positively received from hens that have free access to it, trusting them to eat the amount necessary to form the shell on the eggs.

Nerve Influence Is the subtle force which controls the different organs of the body. It makes them strong or weak, healthy or diseased, according as the brain and nerves are strong and vigorous or weak and diseased. Weak nerves cause headache, nervousness, neuralgia, indigestion, heart trouble and many other forms of chronic weakness. Make the nerves strong, the brain clear and active and the body will be healthy and vigorous. ‘‘l was taken with a peculiar ailment that affected my head and my nerves were all unstrung. I was very nervous, could not sleep and my mind was all confused. I doctored for several weeks without getting better and then began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine. The first bottle relieved me so much that I kept on, and when I had used seven bottles I was well.” • Mrs. 0. Schroeder, Metropolis, Ills. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Soothes and rests the tired brain, strengthens the nerves and supplies the nerve influence that is so necessary to build up health of body and vigor of mind. Try it.
