An Essay on Wood.

Whatever use is made oi "wood it should be well seasoned, like an oyster stew. If it is not seasoned before it is used it warps—that is, it cracks,’and bends, and shrinks, like a country youth’s pocket-book at a county fair or pumpkin show. Wood in the rough is cut up into planks, deals, and so forth, by the saw and by machinery. There are also deals by hand in faro and keno. When a man sees you ope better, or cuts the wood, he is callfe'd a sawyer. Cut deals are generally used for flooring. They will floor any man who is not an adept at cards. Doors are generally made of 1 pine, sometimes of oak and mahogany, and at Joliet and Bing Sing iron is frequently used. When a man adores his wife the material is called smacks. The following rules for lumber merchants and timber rais-* ers have been prepared by an old woodchopper. Branches—Usually composed of an office desk, one chair, and a telephone. Leaves—A cashier in the act of departing for Canada. Boot Sometimes known as cash, rocks, or spondulix. Ghosts A young man from Indian Territory, with his pants in his boots and a broad-brimmed hat on his head. Stalk—Used by old dear-hunters in parlors and on the corners. Skin —A brace game in a faro bank. Bark—The noise made by a Peruvian dog. Trunk—Used to attack small, boys who carry peanuts in their pockets. Stump—Sometimes known as the fragment of a fragrant havana. Sapling—A tall, thin young man, who is generally greener than he looks. Elm —A slippery substance used to sprinkle the hill when the coasting is good. i Pine—The condition of an old maid too aged to secure a husband. Chestnut—A sort of joke discovered in the year one, by a man named Adam. -

Pear—A thing not quite as good as three of a kind. Ebony—The color of a negro. Hickory—A species of old-school Democracy. Ladder —Sometimes used to ascend to fame. Pith—Two words from the center of a four-column editorial in a blanketsheet. Planks—Used for walking purposes at sea. Circular Saw—Sure death. Beams—Small slices of sunshine. Timber Possible political candidates. ? Bench—A part of the furniture used in a court-room. Boards—The young man who advertises for a furnished room with fire and gas, where no questions will be asked.

Paper for Bank Notes.

• f t An old secret-service officer said: “The new distinctive paper for the mannfacture of bank and national notes will prove a failure, in my estimation. None of it has yet been issued from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, for the good reason that Secretary Manning has ordered that all the old fiber paper shall be used up before the new is put out. Somehow the Secretary has become possessed of the idea that the nearer we get to the paper used by the Bank of England the more secure wfl will be against counterfeiting. Now, that is preposterous right on its face. The condition of our paper currency cannot be compared with that of England, and for the reason that every note that goes into the Bank of England, no matter what its condition may be, is destroyed at once and a new one' issued in its place. There are hundreds of cases where the notes of the Bank of England, have been counterfeited, and some of them pretty successfully, too. “Only an expert can detect the difference between them and the genuine, and yet it is proposed to adopt the water-mark as a protection against counterfeiting. The fiber paper has been successfully imitated by one man only, notwithstanding the long number of years it has been in circulation. A little over nine years ago Tom Ballard, who is probably the most expert counterfeiter of this generation, made a paper which it was impossible to distinguish from the genuine. This was never successfully accomplished before, and has never been done since. Fortunately we caught Ballard and convicted him. He was sent to the Albany Prison for a term of thirty years. No one but Ballard knows how he made that imitation, and although we have made every legitimate endeavor that human ingenuity could suggest to get the secret from him, we have 'signally failed. Ballard fias invented a new paper for bank and national use since he has been in prison. “The fiber paper has been imitated but ohce, and that by a counter;eiter who will be an aged and decrepit old man should he live long enough to serve out his term. The water-mark paper is being constantly imitated, even in a country where the currency is kept in much better condition than ours. Another point is, that after the notes become soiled the water-mark will become completely effaced, and then we shall have the vast majority of our notes floating through the channels of trade without any distinctive device whatever, so far as paper is concerned. ” — Towle, in Boston Traveller.

THE HOTEL CLERK'S STORY.

It is the fashion among many so-called humorists to represent the American hotel clerk as a lordly and supercilious being, who, with a headlight diamond in his. immaculate 6hirt front and a look of contemptuous disdain upon his classic features, sends tired and travel-stained arrivals off to impossible regions in the fifteenth story, or haughtily refuses them any lodging whatever. The fact is that the true American hotel clerk is an invaluable feature of our civilization. The time of the arrivals and departures of all the trains on all the railroads is at his tongue’s end; he is full of inlbrmation about what is interesting at the theaters, and of stories of actors and actresses who have stopped at his hotel, and withal a kindly man, who, if the house is crowded, will let you sleep on a billiard table. Mr. W. P. Hammond, who is clerk at the West End Hotel, 503 and 505 West Madison street, Chicago, is of this obliging disposition and is always ready to give any information regarding the hotel to those who seek it. The accomplished landlady of the West End has recently suffered with rheumatism. The story of her cure is thus told by Clerk Hammond: -Our landlady was taken with quite a severe attack of rheumatism in the lower limbs, suffering much pain and being scarcely able to walk. She- beard of Athlophoros and of the cures it had effected, and sent me to the drug store to buy a bottle of it. I got it, and in half an hour's time after she had taken the first dose she felt relieved, and in a few days the rheumatism was entirely gone.”

“How much did she take?” “About qne bottle.” “Has she had any return of the pain?” “Not to my knowledge,” replied Mr. Hammond, “and I am certain she would be likely to say something about it if she had. She speaks of Athlophoros in the highest terms, and has recommended it to many. In one case I remember the cure was as quick as in her own.” The accuracy of Clerk Hammond’s statements is fully confirmed by the landlady herself, who is not averse to having it known how she was cured. “I will tell you something about my cure,” she said to a visitor who called to learn the facts in her case. “I was so lame and suffered so much pain that it was impossible for me to bend my limbs or walk around my room without taking hold of the back of a chair for support. My relief, after taking the first dose, of Athlophoros, was almost immediate. In fact, after taking a few doses I was well and have not been troubled since. At. the same time that I was suffering from the rheumatism, there was a lady boarding in my hotel who was suffering with facial, neuralgia so much that it was impossible for her to sit up. I advised her to try ‘my remedy,’ that being the name I have for Athlophoros. After she had taken two doses of it she was well, and the next thing I knew I saw her rushing for a street-car to go up town. My confidence in Athlophoros cannot be shaken. I find it a positive cure for nervous ,headache and shall always keep some in the hotel, as I cannot afford to suffer from rheumatism, neuralgia, or any such trouble while I can get a medicine like Athlophoros.” If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send it, express paid, on receipt of regular price—one,dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn't it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street, New York.

Cook Your Pork.

There is a disposition on the part of some of our contemporaries to get up a scare about trichime, and they have probably succeeded in alarming any of readers foolish enough to regard this sensationalism ai enterprise. Nevertheless, the people continue to eat pork, and very few of them die of trichiniasis. It will be noticed that in all reports of such cases the names of the victims show them to have been German. The fact seems to be that trichinae cannot survive great heat. If pork is thoroughly cooked, as it always ought to be, it may be eaten without fear of, contracting trichiniasis. ,

The Jury Acquitted Him.

It was a case of breach oit- promise. The defendant was allowed to say a word in his own behalf. “Yes,” he said, “I kissed her almost continually every evening I called at her house.” Lawyer for Defendant—Then you confess it? Defendant- Yes, I do confess it, but I had to do it. Lawyer—You had to do it? What do you mean ? Defendant— That was the only way I could keep her from singing. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant without leaving their seats. — Chicago Herald.

A Few Pointed Remarks.

It ain’t always the best rooster that crows the loudest. It ain’t always the best wife that talks the sweetest. It ain’t always your best friend that has the most gush. It ain’t always the new broom that sweeps the cleanest. It ain’t always the cunningest fox that ketches the fattest goose. It ain’t always the best husband that makes the biggest promises. It ain’t always the man with the biggest stomach that can hold the most licker. I kno a grate menny men that get a verry good livin by mlndin their own bissiness. “It is better to give than to receive.” I should think so myself if I was to get into a row. If we could keep our wishes down to onr means when we can’t raise our means up to our wishes, there would be more contentment in the world. If you want to pratice ekonomee in your household affairs, use the same quantity ov things when they’re cheap as you do when they’re deer. It would be a happy thing for us if we could enter on a new life when we enter on a new year, burying our past sins, as the days ov the p.:st yeer are bury’d never again to rise. Es you want to be popular, and be called a “clever fellow,” keep a demmyjohn of whisky, and segars in yure house to treat your friends. There’s a gratemany ways to the hart, but I’ve remark’d that the nearest way is through the mouth. There’s a grate taanuy sorts ov folkes and a grate manny sorts ov roses in the world. And it wouldn’t be fare to condem all the roses, an’ say there ain’t no fragrance in enny ov th.-un, because the one you plucked had thorns and hurt vonr fingers. —Seth Slocum, in Yonkers Gazette.

Physicians Have Found Out

That a contaminating and foreign element in the blood, developed by indigestion, is the cause of rheumatism. Thiß settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the muscles and ligaments of the joints, causing constant and shifting pain, and aggregating as a calcareous, chalky deposit, which produces stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact, which experience haß demonstrated in regard to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, has stronger evidence to support than this, namely, that this medicine of comprehensive uses checks the formidable and atrocious disease, nor is it less positively established that it is preferable to the poisons often used to arrest it, since the medicine contains only salutary ingredients. It is also a signal remedy for malarial fevers, constipation,dyspepsia, kidney and bladder ailments, debility and other disorders. See that you get the genuine.

A Remedy for Rung Diseases.

Dr. Robert Newton, late President of tho Eclectic College of the City of New York, and formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio, used DR. WM.

He always said that so good a remedy ought to be proscribed freely by every physician as a sovereign remedy in all cases of lung diseases. It cures Consumption, and has no equal for all pectoral complaints.

I have been afflicted with catarrh for 20 years. It had become chronic, and there was a constant droppiug of mucous matter from the roof of my mouth. It extended to my throat, causing hoarseness and great difficulty in speaking; indeed, for year 3 I was not able to speak more than thirty minutes, and often this with great difficulty. I also, to a great extent, lost the sense of bearing in the left ear, and of taste. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm I have received more relief than from all other remedies besides.

WHAT WARNER S SAFE CURE CURES AND WHY. Congestion of tho Kidneys, Back Ache. Inflammation of the Kidneys, Bladder \ or Urinary Organs. Catarrh of the Bladder, Gravel, Stone, Dropsy, Enlarged Prostate Gland, Impotency or General Debility, Bright's Disease. WHY? Because it is the only remedy known that has power to erpel the uric acid and urea, of which there are some 500 grains secreted each day as the result of muscular action, and sufficient, if retained in the blood, to kill six men. It is the direct cause of all the above diseases, as well as of Heart. Disease, Rheumatism, Apoplexy, Paralysis, Insanity, and Death. This great specific relieves the kidneys of too much blood, frees them from all irritants, restores them to healthy action by its certain apd soothing power. IT CURES ALSO Enlargement of the Liver, Abscess and Catarrh of the Bile Ducts, Biliousness, Headache, Furred Tongue, Sleeplessness, Languor, Debility, Constipation, GaU Stones, and every unpleasant symptom which results from liver complaint WHY? Because it has a specific and positive action on the liver as well as on the kidneys, increasing the secretion and flow of bile, regulates its elaborating function, removes unhealtkful formations, and, in a word, restores it to natural activity, without which health is an Impossibility. IT CURES ALSO Female Complaints, Leucorrhcea, Displacements, Enlargements, Ulceration, Painful Menstruation, makes Pregnancy safe, prevents Convulsions and Child-Bed Fever, and aids nature by restoring functional activity.

WHY? All these troubles,- as is well known by every physician of education, arlte from congestion and impaired kidney action, causing stagnation of the blood vessels and breaking down, and this is the beginning and the direct cause of all the ailments from which women suffer, and must as surely fellow as night does the day. WHY Warner’s Safe Cure is acknowledged by thousands of our best medical men to be the only true blood purifier is because it acts upon scientific principles, striking at the very root of the disorder by its action on the kidneys and liver. For, if these organs were kept in Judith all tJu morbid waste matter, so deadly poisonous if retained in the body, is passed out. On the contrary, if they aye deranged, the acidsare taken np by the bl6od, decompoSing it and carrying death to the most remote part of the body. WHY 93 per cent of all diseases which afflict humanity arise from impaired kidney*, is shown by medical authorities. Warner’s Safe Cure, by its direct action, positively restores them to health and full working* capacity, nature curing all the above diseases herself when the cause is removed, and we guarantee that Warner’s Safe Cure is a positive preventive if taken in time. As yon value health take it to avoid sickness, as it will at all times and under all circumstances keep all the vital functions np to par. We also guarantee a cure and beneficial effect for each of the foregoing diseases, also that every case of liver and kidney trouble cau be cured where degeneration has not taken place, and even then benefit will surely be derived. In every instance it has established its claim.

AS A BLOOD PURIFIER, particularly in the spring, it is unoqualed, for yon cannot have pure blood when the kidneys or liver are out of order. Look to your condition at once. Do not postpone treatment for a day nor an hour. The doctors cannot compare records with us. Give yourself thorough constitutional treatment with Warner’s Safe Cure, and thero are yet many years of life and health assured yon! A BUYB AN IMPROVED GKAIN, STOCK and Tobacco Farm. Stocks.
