skin curing rheumatic pains and healing external
wounds. Bounded by no geographical lines, the
reputation of Barry's Tricopherous pervades the
Union. The safes of the article of late years have
increased in a ratio that almost exceeds belief
Professor Barry, after careful examination OF h,s
sales book finds that the number of bottles de.
iyered to order in quantities Of from half gross
upward, during the year 1852, was within a trifle
Of $50, 900. 81
It is unnecessary to present at length the evil
dcnces of the wonderful properties of the Trico-
pherous when the public have furnished such an
endorsement as this. The cheapness Of the article,
and the explanations given of its chemical action
upon the hair, the scalp, and in all cases OF
superficial irritation, first recommended IT 10
the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded cxpec.
taton. 1t acted like charm. The ladies would
not be without it. Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must
have it and thus was built up wholesale
trade of an extent hitherto unheard OF as regards
articles of this kind. The highest point has not
vet been reached and it s believed that the sales

JUDICIAL LONGEVITY have had but two
chief Justices of the Supreme Court of tho United
States in over fifty years. John Marshall held
the office from January, 1901, till his death in
1895, and Roger B. fancy, his successor, is still
on the bench. Upon the adoption of the Federal
Constitution, John Jay, of New York, was ap-
pointed chief justice and held the Office from 1888
till 1874, when he was appointed minister to Eng
Ind John Rutledge, of South Carolina, nomi-
mated as his successor, was rejected by the Sem
ate; William Cushing, of Massachusetts, declined
the rendered appointment; and Oliver Ellsworth,
of Connecticut, succeeded in 1796, but resigned
in 1899, when selected as minister to France.
John Jay was then again appointed, but declined,

ATHouGHrLEss BUT CRUEL PRAcTIcE.-Iti is an
old maxim that the health of the body is affected
by the state of the mind When body is dis
eascd, in majority of cases medicine is eff
cacious as cheerfuness. Mrs. M. is in feeble
health. Her countenance indicates it. Yet she
attends to her domestic duties-calls upon friends
and attends to her necessary shopping, but when
ever and wherever she meets her friends and ac-
quaintances she is greeted thus: 80 .
"Why, Mrs. M how dreadfully you do look!
You are very thin and pale! You must be very
i'll, for you have changed sadly during the last
few weeks!" &c., &C.
The consequence is, Mrs. M. returns home de-
pressed in spirits, and says to her husband, 81
must look very ILL., indeed, for can hardly meet
an acquaintance from home who does not tell mo
so'' Thus are the efforts of husband and children
to keep the heart of wife and mother cheerful.
completely frustrated. Such is the effect of these
inconsderate remarks upon Mrs. M, that it is So
riously feared they will hasten fond wife and
mother into the grave.
Should this meet the eye of any one who is
c,lstomed thus to address the feeble, let him think
of the effect upon his own mind, if constantly ad
dressed in this way. lfyou have suspicious of ill

ENGLISH BREADsTuFF DEFIcIENcY.-Ihe est-
mates Of the corn deficiency in Great Britain are
very large. The following are extracts from the
circular of the Messrs. Surge, under date of Au-
gust 8:
-"Since we issued our last monthly circular,
there has scarcely been day without rain, with
a lower temperature than any July since 1916.
The wheat crop in the aggregate will probably be
the least productive of any since 1916, and unless
the harvest of 1854 is very curly, we may require
an importation of all kinds Of grain and bread
stuffs greater even than that of l847 probably
not less than fifteen millions of quarters; but oul
present prices are sufficient to induce an import
to this extent, unless France should compete with
us in the producing markets. Of the oat crop,
particularly in Scotland and Ireland, there are
considerable complaints. In this part of the coun-
try the quantity grown is not important The
potato disease appears likely to be as destructive
as in any season since 1916.
Fifteen million quarters represent one hundred
and twenty million bushels, and Messrs. Surge g
remark that the present prices will suffice to draw
it forth is likely to prove correct. The present
price in England is equal to 81 70 for wheat,
which is selling in Michigan for $l. Now trans
portation, interest, external charges, and duties
win not admit the landing of any great quantity
in England at difference of seventy cents. The
value of wheat and flour exported from New York
since january is $6,684,979, against $3, ,422, ,876

Sitting Us.--We would suggest that sitting up
with the sick from O clock p. m. till a, M,
without closing the eyes in sIumber, is not very
conducive to free flow Of ideas Immediately
thereafter. Talking about sitting up with the sick,
what remarkable ways some people have Of dodg-
ing this generally disagreeable task. One young
man told us IL always gave him tho diarrhDn to
pretty girl all night, and not whimper bit. Ano-
ther is already sick himself, and would be laid up
in bed were he to sssit up" Mcm,.-Caught him
at billiards nearly IL o'clock ut night, winding up
with lunch and toddy; delicate youngster. A
third never sat up in his life but what he was made
sick. He means in '.sick room," because he
will go it all night on s'set back euchre," and
won't ask for favors next day. Another can't pos
sibly leave his wife alone--a blessed reform in
him, and very sudden. Another's child is by no
means well, and it would be risky to leave it
del of good health. And thus they go.
Now, my dear Gllows, If No could keep our
eyes open long enough, we would suggest an idea
or two for your benefit. ltmay very possibly hap
pen that your turn will come one of these days.
Sooner or later it must come in the natural course
of events. When it does, and friends glide in to
take their watch with you, what an upbraidng of
conscience in the sick mans bosom, as he reflects
sthis is the friendship refused my neighbors. "
But there's use talking about it, We have
presented the idea; and that's enough.

All very well said, Mr.. Sanders. Not applica-
BILE, however, to this region, as young men,
when called upon to sit up with the sick, take
their gals along with them, thus rendering the
duty pleasant and agreeable task. Introduce
the plan down your way, and you will soon
