J. D. PARx:-Dcar Sir: 1t with great pleas.,
ure write you about the very happy effects Of
your Dr. Guysot;'s Ertraet Of Y,lioW Dock and
Sarsapariliq,' upon my daughter, who has been
suffering Under that dreadful disease Erysipsias,
with which she was attacked in 1913, and she was
attended by some Of our MOS! skilfal physicians
for over eight months petscyerngl!y, without any
beneficial effects whatever. She became reduced
to p RECT skeleton: She had ulcers from her
shoulders to her knees, which continually dis
charged offensive matter. Her physician prononn-
ced her case hopeless, and beyond the reach oil
medicine. My neghbors aud myself thought her
dissolution near a. hand One oil my neghhors
insisted on my uying DIR Guysott's Extract Of
Yeilop Dock and SqrsgpariiLGi' as lcst resort,
for as all Of our Physicians hfe given her Up, there
could he no deuiment in it, cdnsented 10 do SO,
more from 4 te:tless desire 10 90 something for
my daughter while life lasted, than from any hope
OF her getting relief; so commenced using the
medicine according TO directions, and to my great
as,onshmont she commenced improving, and be-
fore she had used three bottles she was able to
sit upright in bed: Before she had used bottles
she was able TO walk ont. She used in ell twelve
bottles offs DR. Guysott,s Extract of Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparilia,' which restored her to perfect
health in December, 1854: She Is now entirely
free from any vss.ge of the complaint
most earnestly recommend i. to every person
suffering under any similar disease.
Yours truly, D L MARTIN
do hereby certify that my iather's statement
Of my late illness is no, by any means exaggerat-

LEARN ALI YOU CAN.-Never omit any
opportunity to learn all you can. Sir Walter
Scott said, that, even in stage-eaach. he
always found somebody who could tell him
something he did not know before. conyer-
saiion is frequently more useful than books
iorpufposes of knowledge. It is, therefore,
mistake 10 be- mosose or silent, when you
are among persons whom you think ignorant,
lot little sociabiIity on your part will draw
them out and they will be able 70 teach
yon something, no matter how ordinary their
employment. Indeed, some of the most
s 5, remarks are made by persons Of
'nis descrlption. respecting their particular
pursuit. Hugh Milton, the famous Scotch
geoiogIst, owes not little Of his fame to
observations, made when he was journey
man stone-masoa and working in a quarry.
Socraies well said that there il hul one good,
winch IS knowledge. and one evil. which is
'gnofance. Every grain Of sand helps 10
make the heap. A goid-diggsr takes the
= smallest nuggets, and is not fool enough TO
'afeU them away. because he hopes to find
huge lump some time. So, in acquiring

A New PoL1rIcAL PARTY. Ion," the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, thus speaks of a new political organ
ization in Washington:
"Many novel and startling events are
passing around US. all tending to important
results. Among them l notice the organ
iza,ion ola new political party, under Demo-
cratic and Wing auspices, which processes
AS learn, for have not read their bill
of health to come in upon principles of
uncommon purity. Some fifty members of
Congress have joined it. Many outsiders, of
energy and influence, have become enrolled
in it. If it is really party based on prin-
ciples Of common sense and honesty, it will
deserve success. The country is prepared
for such political party If, on the other
hand. it is a sectional organization, it will
perish almost at its birth. learn, however,
that its principles will be announced and
its flag unfurled before the lapse of another

ELoauESr-VERY.-k gallant and patrio-

BED Bves.-speaking of bed bugs, a friend
of ours who put up at the Kalamazoo House,
tells the following strong one:
"You see I went to bed pretty alfred
used up, after hull day on the old road be-
fore the plank was laid, caIculatin' on a good
snooze. WAL, just as the shivers began to
ease off. I kinder felt sumthin' tryin' to pull
off my shirt. and diggin' their feet into the
small of my back to get good hold. I
wriggled and twisted, and doubled and
p1ckered-all no use-kept agoin' it like
sin. Bimeby got up and struck light to
look around speH-found peck Of bed
bugs scattered aroun', and more droppin' off
my shirt and runnin' down my legs every
minnit. Swept off a place on the floor, shook
out quilt, lay down and kivered up in it
for nap. No use-mounted right on me,
like passed. of rats on mea! tub-dug a
hole in the kiverIid and crawled through and
gave me fits for trying to hide. Got up agin.
went down stairs and got the sush bucket
from the wagon. Brought it up and made
a circle of tar on the foor-lav down on the
floor on the inside, and felt comfortable that
time any how. Left the light burnin' and
watched 'em. See 'em get together and
have camp meetin' bout it, and they went
off in a squad, with an old gray-headed he
one, a, the top, right up the wall, out on the
ceiling till they got 10 the right spot and
dropping right plump into my face. Fact,
by thunder
SWELL, I swept 'em up agin and made a
circle Of tar on the ceilin' too. Thought
had 'em foul, that time; but swan to man,
if they didn't pull straws out Of the bed, and
build regular bridge over itr'
Seeing an incredible expression on our
visage, he cIinched the story thus:
It's so whether you believe it OF not, and
some of 'em acalked across on stilts Bed
bugs are Gurus critters and no mistake,
specially Kalamazoo kind"

THE ENGLISH AT CoNsTANTINopLE.-A cor
| respondent of the London Times says that no
small amount Of sickness is likely to prevail
| among the inexperienced Europeans who have
taken up their residence in the city of mosques
and minarets, unless they change their system
of walking the streets at mid day, and eating
large meat dinners, accompanied by fiery liquids,
as at home John Bull is an obstinate fellow,
and would rather fight battle any day, than
go without his roast beef and ale, or their equiya-
lent. The writer in the Times says:
''The natives of this country are temperate
from necessity; they look upon strong wines
and liquors as very little better than poison,
and a drinker of spirits is considered as doomed
a man as an opium-eater would with US. As
the hot season is now upon us, they remain at
home in the daytime, and only venture out in
the cool Of the evening, when a fresh breeze
comes down the Bosphorus, and stirs the dust
and tobacco-laden atmosphere of the city. Yet
the English striding about with walking
sticks under the blazing sun, and return from
ten mile walk to dinner such as would be ap-
propriate to an English December! They may
expect excellent health if they will acconmo-
date themselves to the habits and usages of the
country, but if they persist in their present
mode of life, many casualties must result, and
those strongest and most sturdy in appearance
will be the first to suffer from fever, which al
ways seems anxious to grapple with a powerful
antagonist"

DISPARITY OF FoRTuNE.-An old gentle
man once said, in speaking of the bad con

on the wife's side, in marriage, that when
he married, he had twenty cents and his wife
twenty five, and that she was throwing out
this extra five cents to him ever afterwards.
