One of their peculiarities-and the one
which is probably Fastening their ex-

furthermore, makes This astonishing

Clean Hands and StreDg On

A little boy (whose name | shall call
John) was observed to wash his hands
many TIRES aday-a most praiseworthv
exercise. The unusual frequency with
which he repaired to the hollow stone
bv the well led his elder brother Henry
to ask him why he washed his hands so
frequently.
Because | wish to be strong
do you think that washing your
hands will make yon strong?
Yes d..
al hope yon will hold on to that
idea" --.
At evening, as the two brothers were
sitting on the porch of the farmhouse
listening to the notes of the whip-poor-
will, Henry asked John why he thought
that washing his hands would give him
strength.
Because | read it in the Bible, was
the reply. =.
Where did you find the passage
81 will show you"
He got the Bible, and read the latter
part Of the ninth verse Of the seven
teenth chapter of job: ale that hath
clean hands shall be stronger and
stronger"
John was sure his position was a
firm one, for it had the support OF Scrip
ture. Henry proceeded to explain to
him the meaning of the passage, and
convinced him that he had taken in a
literal sense that which was intended
to be understood in figurative sense
that the passage taught that those who
do right shall increase in strength to dc
right. The truth thus explained made
a deep impression upon John mind, and
| wish it may make a deep impression
upon the mind OF the reader. Boys
love to be strong. The highest kind o
strength is strength to do right.-Prss

Hoohand'S German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined TO
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle OF the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUM, and favored
in such manner that the extreme bitter
ness OF the Bitters is overcome, forming
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate, and containing the medical
virtues of the Bitters. The price OF the
Tonic is $50 per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used Is
guaranteed to be Of a pure quality. a poor
article could be furnished at a cheaper price
but is II not better to pay little more and
have good article? 4 medicinal prepare
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dients, and they who expect to obtain
cheap compound will most certainly he
