An Apt Reply,

At a recent Sunday-school service in
a prominent church IN New Haven, the
rector was illustrating the necessity of
Christian profession III order properly
to enjoy the blessings of Providence in
this world and, to make it apparent to
the youthful mind, the rector said
- For instance, | want to introduce
water into my house have it pumped.
The pipes and faucets and every con-
venence are III good order, but / get
no water. Can any of you tell me why
/ do not get water?" He expected the
children to see that it was because he
had not made connection with the
main in the street. The boys looked
perplexed. They could not see why
the water should refuse to run into his
premises after such faultless plumbing
/" Can no one tell me what [ have neg

Progress in Peru.
Q,tiUeT'.

Peru Is making great strides to the
light, through TIC Liberal Party, OF
whom the present President, Manuel
PradO, is worthy representative. But
there is powerful influence against
him here. The church yields no in
significant arm in battering down what
ever dberality attempts, long before its
accomplishment. In the face of its OPP
position, however, much has been done
III the Lost decade or so, under the i'm
mediate protection q The general gov
eminent, for the public good Notably
among these efforts was the establish
ment of an institution for the purpose
OF training the poor boys of Lima to
some good trade, while, at the same
time, they receive thorough book ed
ucation. This institution is known
under the names Of its two branches
Escuela de Aries and the Eschela de
, San Pedro.
These TIVE schools; established and
directly protected ty the Government,
for the benefit Of boys who else could
gam no education save that too easily
learned III the streets, seem to indicate
great adyaficement in the popular
iI1fto VI tiiC Guilty. Nuhtts huIt,
much to the credit of Peru, be it said,
the subject of instruction generally is
receiving at present a great deal of at
tentlotf. There, are being established
all over the land, even IN the most dis
tant provinces, good freeschoofs, whose
teachers are to be brought from Europe
and the United States. OF course it

merous railways now IL Course OF con-
struction are completed, uniting the
coast with the now almost inaccessible
interior, Peru Will be quite a different
country. There will not be SO many
petty instructions then as now, for not
only will the lower classes be more en-
lightened and alive to the necessity of
peace in order to insure prosperity, but

Liver and Blood Diseases.
RY Ry PIERCE NJ. d.


healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains a
| great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested. it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, which, therefore remains to
poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part
| of the system. What must be the condition of
the blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two and half pounds OF poison
Nature tries to work off this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc, but these organs become oyertaxed
| in performing this labor in addition to their
natural functions. and cannot long Withstand
the pressure but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical cen
ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated BIZ the
unhealthy blood, which passes to II from the
heart and it fails to perform its Office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dizziness, headache and lncapaclty TO
keep tho mind on any subject, impairment of
memory. dizzy, sis@pr, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings, and irlitdbiittr OF temper.
The blood itself being diseased, as 1T forms lie
sweat upon the surface of the skin, 1t Is SO
irritating and poisonous that 1t produces dis
colored brown spots, plmples, blotches, and
other eruptioDs, sores bolts, carhunces and
eerofulous t1mors. The stomach. bowels, and
other orFaps cannot escape becoming affected.
sooner or later end we have as the result cos
tiveness, piles dropsy, dyspepsia, dlarrhpa.
Other symptoms are common, ITS bitter on bad
taste in mouth, internal heat, palptatiCn, teas
ing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensa-
ton in throat, hosting Of stomach, pain III
sides or about shoulders AID baek, coldness o
eNtreImties, etc, etc. Only a few oil tie above
symptoms are likely to be present IN any case
at one time. The liver being the great depur-
atinG or blood cleansing organ of the system
set this great g Housekeeper of our health
at work, and the fottl eerruptions, which gen
der i'll the blood, and rot out, ss 1t were, the
machinery of life, are gradually eXpeiisd from
the system. For this purpose my Golden
Medical Discovery with very small doses daily
of my Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets are pre-emi-
nently the articles needed. They cure every
kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the
common pimple, blotch Or eruption. Great
eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty

that lurk i'll tbs system are by them robbed of
their terrors, and By thsii persevering and

Keeping Hens.

Each farm has its poultry, SO every
family having out Buildings ought to
keep hens. They can be kept as pro
titably as with the farmers. On the
farm, hens are often greater damage
than profit, making forays in the grain
fields and garden, and fouling the walks
about the buildings, for farmers gen
orally do not shut Zip their hens.
There is a general Improvement
! throughout the country III lten-hus-
bandry the breeds are disseminated
and crossed, and the increase Of eggs
is in proportion. There is, however,
one great drawback, which needs cor
recting, it is the breeding from crossed
stock. A cross from the original pure

fruits. The lighter the soil, the easier
and more economical is the cultivation ::
and upon such soils the produce is
earlier and better favored, while the
heavier soils will produce later and
heavier fruit. Elevated soils are less
liable to be affected by spring frosts,
hence should be selected for the earli-
est spring fruit-the strawberry. es
pecially the earliest sorts. South and
southeast side hills should be chosen
to produce early fruit, and north side
hills, late fruit. Thus the season NAV
be extended. If the ground lis suf-
ticiently rich to grow good potatoes or
corn, it will grow as comparatively
good Strawberries. If not in good or
der, manure thoroughly with any rot
ted compost. New coarse manules are
very risky, especially for light soils, for
If the spring should prove dry, the
plants dry out badly. Plough or spade
deep when the ground is in a dry con
dltion, for if too wet and soggy it
leaves the surface stiff and pakey. If
convenient, scatter liberal supply of
well rotted compost over the surface,
which not only enriches the soil, but
acts as mulch to keep the surface
moist and prevent it from baking.
