Our Kapld Transitory Existence la brief enough without our shortening it by seeking medical aid, when we are somewhat unwell, from sources where it is only obtainable with great risk. Even if the old doctrine were true that violent diseases require violent remedies, it does not follow that drastic purgatives, narcotics, powerful “sedatives” of the nervous system ara advisable in cases where slight disorders manifestly call for the use of milder means of recovering, involving no subsequent danger, but equally efficient. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters not only relieves, but ultimately and completely relieves disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels and nerves. It is a genuine tonic, healthfully stimulates the kidneys, it is a thorough alterative, and a most effectual preventive of chills and fever and bilious remittent. The utmost confidence can be reposed in the purity and safety of its medicinal ingredients.

“August Flower” My wife suffered with indigestion and dyspepsia for years. Life became a burden to lier. Physicians failed to give relief. After reading one of your books, I purchased a bottle of August Flower. It worked like a charm. My wife received immediate relief after taking the first dose.

An hour passed before she rose from beneath the oaktree where she had thrown herself. Then she went back to the house with set lips and pale face. I’ll do it,” she simply said. The next morning she was back Ip the school-room, outwardly unmind--fid of the cold looks, withdrawn skirls, and up turned noses of the girls.

Pyrus Mains, the common apple tree, is a native of Europe and almost naturalized here. The Romans had twenty-two varieties, according ‘to Pliny. Probably nearly 1.000 varieties arc cultivated in the Cnited States. The wild apple or crab tree, a native of Britain and very generally found in temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere, is a somewhat stunted looking tree, with au-tere, uneatable fruit, yet it is the parent ot all, or almost all, the varieties of Si apples so much prized for the dessert The apple is now one of the most ^widely diffused of fruit trees, and in ■the estimation of many is the most j valuable of all. It succeeds best in L the colder parts of the temperate zone. It may, h wever, be found on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea in Arabia, Pe >ia, and the West Indies, but there its fruit is as small and worthless as ir, high northern latitudes. In the Bib e the apple tree is mentioned as superior to all other trees. “A- the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is mv beloved among the sons.” “Song of Solomon, ii., 3.)

HOW SAVINGS GROW. A Pretty Little Story that Will Make You Get a Bankbook Now.

It ought to convey a lesson to young peisons who think their : livings are t; o tmall to be worth investing. Some years ago a man entered the Bor nun's Savings Bank on Second street, in St. Louis, with a somewhat diffident air, and looked inquiringly about him. as one not quite positive of his bearings. He scrutinized the building closely, looked about the interior, and presently found his way to the cashier's desk. There used t > be a bank here in the old times,” he said, “called the Boat-m-m's Savings Institution. I suppose It is dead long ago. This bank, of coms', has nothing to do with it.” "It is the same bank,” replied the cashier, “only the name is a little changed.” “ Ah’" exclaimed the stranger, with surprhe. “Well, when the old institution started, 1 was one of the first depositors, but 1 paid in only SIOY I reckon, after so many ups and downs, that it must have been wiped out long ago." “ Who are you?" the cashier asked, ‘'and what is your name? " “ My name is Jefferies.” “Thomas Jefferies?" cried the cashier. “ Yes, they called me Tom then.” “ Where have you been. Mr. Jefferies, these long years, and why haven't you written us?” “In Californy, and. of course. I thought the SIOO was a dead duck, and it s only your sign that called me in now.” “ Well, Mr. Jefferies, if you have been idle,” said the cashier, taking down and opening a great folio, “ your SIOO has not.

Only a Mistake. An amateur archaeologist one day day espied the date 1081 carved on a stone inserted above the door of a stable and persuaded the peasant who owned, the property to let Him have it for a good round sum of money. A few days afterward the peasant delivered the stone to the purchaser. “Why,” said, the latter, “this is not the * stone I bought from you the other day. This one bears the date 1801. I won’t have it.” “Beg your pardon,” answered the pea ant. “This is the very stone, only the builder in a mistake put it upside down. You can do the same, you know." —Petit Francais Illustre.
