From Harry Beck, Esq, Local Editor'of the Mem
phis Appeal.
MEssRs. MANSFIELD & HIGBEE-Gentle-
men: 1 deem it due to you to state that
your Magic Arnica Liniment effected cure
IN what, apparently, was an incurable case.
The facts are as follows: My wife was for
several days afflicted with severe rheumatic
pains in the shoulders and back. So Sc
we're were they that her rest was nightly dis
turbed. The customary remedies we're
applied, but gave no relief. Your Magic
Arnica Liniment did the work in one hour,
completely killing the pain. I may also
add that lady friend was, by its use, com
pletely cured Of neuralgia by single appli-
cation. No family should be without it.
Yours respectfully, HARRY BECK.

Recreation Necessary.

We labor and labor, but there is just
as much necessity for recreation as
for labor. We cannot live without it !;
not even the laboring man.
Exercise is all well enough but il
must be the right kind. The mind as
well as the body wants exercise. But
it wants something else, as well as the
body: it wants a change; il wants to
get into new channel, get new life
infused into it. Thus it win rest the
limbs TO labor, with the inactive man.
1t will rest and strengthen the mind.
We should lay out our plans for re-
creations as well as for work. There
never was a truer saying than that "all
work and no play makes Jack dali
boy"
Dyspepsia settles upon the people.
If they stir about and act, mentally
and physically, there is no chance for
it to do this. So the blues, ennui, and
tedium may be all dlssipated i'm this
way.
They are but the same general
thing, bred by doing nothing, or Co
ing only one thing.
We must get out of the one rut, if
we have been In that alone, and taste
the variety of life. Man was made
for it, it is the habit from time i'm
memorial, and cannot be dispensed
with. With it comes health and en-
joyment.

mother didn't get the two dollars?
Father-Yes. And L remember
what little girls don't think about.
Nellie-What is that, father!"
Father-I remember that we are
not rich. But You seem in a brown
study. What is my daughter think
ing about?
Ncllic-I was thinking how much
one cigar costs.
Father--Why, 1t costs ten cents
not two dollars by long shot.
Nellie--But ten cents three times a
day is thirty cents.
Father-That's as rue as the multi
plication table.
Nellie-Ani there are seven days
i'm week.
Father--Tkat's so by he almanac.
Nellie--And seven times thirty
cents are two hundred and ten cents.
Father-Hold on. I'll surrender.
Here, take the two dollars 10 your
mother and tell her Ill do without
cigars for a week.
NelJic-Thank you, father; but If
you would only say year. 1t would
save more than a hundred dollars.
We would all have shoes and dresses,
and mother nice bonnet and lots OF
pretty things.
Fathcr--WelI, to make my little
girl happy I will say year.
Nellie-O. that will be so nice but
wouldn't it be about as easy to say
always, then we would have the
money every year, and your lips would
be so much swceter when YOU kiss
US.
