Fever and Ague Observation-Disclosures
to Intermittent Fever, word with you. The
responsibility for your suffering rests upon your
selves just as surely you shake to-day, or
will shake tomorrow, HOSTETTER'S CELE-
DRAFTED STOMACH BITTERS will extinguish
the disease under which you labor Had you
taken this genial tonic as preventive, you would
have no need of it as a cure, for it renders the
system impervious to all miasmatic fevers. But
since ouneglected the precaution, rid yourselves
without delay of the complaint by resorting to
the only reliable remedy. Break the chills with
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, and they will return
no more. This is the experience of thousands,
and it will be yours. Quinine is slow means of
relief; tits to the last degree it is more
dangerous than the malady itself; in many cases
it utterly fails How different is the effect of the
BITTERs. Their curative action is rapid they
are agreeable to the palate; they are not only
entirely harmless but tend inevitably to strength
en- the constitution and prolong life; they neve,
hare failed and it is confidently assumed that they
fail in any case of Fever and Ague,
however inveterate in its character To be with

WOMEN I'M PARAGUA,

smokes in Paraguy, and nearly every fe-
male above thirteen years of age, chews, /
am wrong They do not chew, but put
tobacco in their mouths, keep it there con-
stantly except when eating, and, instead Of
chewing, roll it about with their tongues
and suck it. Only imagine yourself about
to salute the rich, red lips of a magnificent
little Hcbe, arrayed in satin and flashing
diamonds she draws from her mouth brow
nish black roll of tobacco, quite two inches
long, looking like monsirous grub, and
depositing the savory morsel on the rim of
your sombrero, puts up her face, and is
ready for your salute. have sometimes
seen an over delicate foreigner turn with
shudder of loathing under such circum-
stances, and get the epithet el seveco (the
savage) applied to him by the offended for
his sensitveness. However, one soon gets
used to this in Paraguay, where you are
perforce of custom, obliged to kiss every
lady you are intr oduced to and ore half
you meet are really tempting enough to
render you reckless Of consequences. You
would sip the dew of the proffered lips in
the face of tobacco battery-even the
double distilled "honey dew of old Vir.

The DEVIL RIGHr.-Dr.-, who was
pastor of the Orthodox church, had been
for some time annoyed by the forwardness
of a lay brother, TO "speak" whenever an
opportunity was offered, to the frequent
exclusion of those whose remarks had great
tendency to edifcatlon. This had been
carried so far that the pastor, whenever he
stated that an opportunity would now be
offered for any brother to give an exhorta-
tlon," had always been a secret dread of
the loquacious member. On one especial
occasion, the latter prefaced a prosy, inco-
herent harangue with an account of con-
versation he mad been carrying on with
the great adversary. 'My friends said
he, ''the devil and have been fighting for
more than twenty minutes; he told me
not to speak tonight, but determined I
would; he said some of the rest could
speak better than /, but still / felt that
could not keep silent; he even whispered
that spoke too often, and that nobody
wanted to hear me ; but / was not to be
put down in that way, and now | have
gained the victory, must tell you all that
is in my heart" Then followed the tedi-
Gus harangue aforesaid. AS they were
coming out of the session-room, the good
pastor inclined his head so that bis mouth
approached the ear of the militant mem
Der, and whispered: brother, think tho
devH acas right" ....
