/" Pain.Killer.O

There can be no necessity, at this late day,
for the press to speak in commendatory terms
Of this remarkable medicine, in order to pro-
mote its sale; for it Is Q medicine that is
known and appreciated the wide world through.
For various diseases, such as rheumatism,
cholera, cholera morbus, burns, sprains. bruises,
and 30 on to the end Of the catalogue, We are
convinced that there is no remedy before the
people equal to DAVIS VEGETABLE PAIN
KILLER" and we know that thousands upon
thousands entertain the same belief. Certainly,
we cannot refer to the history Of any medicine
which equals that of the PAIN-KnLER. It was
introduced in 1910, and from that time to this
its sale, both at homo and abroad, has com
stantly and rapidly increased, and We rejoice
~ the high reputation 1t has achieved, because
this reputation shows that 1t has been the
means Of relieving q vast amount Of human
suffering. ICON.

SMALLPOX I'm Iowa.

People who like to have man when
he undertakes to do a thing to do it
thoroughly, may be satisfied with the
recent achievements of baker in an
Iowa town. The story is thus related
in telegram from Dubuque, dated
23d inst: "The smallpox, which origi-
mated in Cascade, Iowa, twenty-si1
miles from Dubuque, has spread to
Farley and Worthington, and seems to
be getting worse every day. The dis
ease could have been checked when the
first case was discovered had the proper
measures been taken, but instead of
burying the body of the first fatal case
quietly, and at night, the corpse was
followed to the grave by large funeral
procession, and six pall-bearers. The
pall-bearers are Low sick, as well as
several who attended the funeral. One
of the pall-bearers was baker, and.
after helping to put the body in the
coffin and bury it he went home and to
work as usual, with results that might
have been expected. He is now on the
verge Of the grave with smallpox, and
so are nearly all of his customers. The
physicians say they have vaccinated in
and around Cascade no less than 800
persons since the disease broke out.
There are forty cases in Cascade alone.
The people do not seem to feel or know
the danger they are living in, and 60
about town attending to business, and,
at the same time, have a smallpox
patient in their house. They result of
such want of caution has been the cause
of the disease spreading to such an e1-
tent"

Canning Salmon.

Along the Columbia river in Oregon
are the "salmon factories" whence
come the Oregon salmon, which, put
up in tin cans, are now to be bought
not only in our Eastern States, but all
over the world. The fish are caught in
weirs, in gill nets, as shad are caught
on the Hudson, and this is the only
part of the labor performed by white
men. The fishermen carry the salmon
in boats to the factory-usually large
frame building erected on piles over
the water--and here they fall into the
hands of Chinese, who get for their
labor dollar day and their food.
The salmon are flung up on q stage,
where they lie 10 heaps of thousand at
a time, q surprising sight to an Eastern
person, for in such pile you may see
fish weighing from thirty to sixty
pounds. The work of preparing them
for the cans is conducted with exact
method and great cleanliness, water be-
ing abundant. One Chinaman seizes
fish and cuts off his head the next
slashes off the fins and disembowels the
fish it then falls into large vat, where
the blood soaks out-a salmon bleeds
like bull-and after soaking and re-
peated washing in different vats, it falls
at last into the hands of one of gang
of Chinese whose business it is, with
heavy knives, to chop the fish into
chunks OF suitable size for the tins.
These pieces are plunged into brine,
and presently stuffed into the cans. it
being the object to fill each can as full
as possible with fish, the bone being
excluded. The top, which has small
hole pierced in it, is then soldered on,
and five hundred tins set on form are
lowered into a huge kettle Of boiling
water, where they remain until the heat
has expelled all the air. Then China
man neatly drops a little solder over
each pin-hole, and after another boil
ing, the object OF which is, believe, to
make sure that the cans are hermetical-
ly sealed, the process is complete, and
the salmon is ready to take q journey
longer and more remarkable even than
that which their progenitors took when,
seized with the curious rage of spawn
ing, they ascended the Columbia, to de-
posit their eggs in its head waters, near
the centre of the continent.
Twas assured by the fishermen, says
letter writer, that the salmon do not
decrease in numbers or in size, yet, in
this year, 1873, more than two millions
of pounds were put up in cans on the
Lower Columbia alone, besides fifteen
or twenty thousand barrels. Of salted
salmon.

The Richmond Duel.

Involuntary manslaughter is the YER
dict of Richmond jury in the case of
W. Page McCarty for killing John B.
Mordecai in duel last May. The trial
consumed four days in the Hastings
Court. The facts have been published.
The present law of Virginia makes kill
ing in duel murder /; but when the
jury asked the Judge if they must
bring in verdict either of murder in
the first degree or acquittal, he in
structed them that they were not re-
quired to do so. Had he said other
wise the verdict would have been,
probably, acquittal, as the jury stood
nine for acquittal and three for murder
in the first degree. The jury fixed the
prisoners fine at FIVE hundred dollars.
The prisoner appears not to be satisfied,
however, as his counsel has asked for o
suspension Of judgment aid the verdict
to Be set aside,

Bows will be BOYS,

Never lose heart because your boys
are little wild. While you sadly call
to mind the things they have forgotten,
you are ignorant of the things they re-
member. It is the fashion for boys to
appear Indifferent to the counsels Of
parents. They have an idea that it is
rather the manly and handsome thing
to take good advice in dogged sort OF
way, Just as they take medicine, and a
very brave thing to dare your threat.
All this is written in the code of boy
hood. We can't quite say with Emer-
son that it is the bad boy who makes
the good man; and yet we have great
deal of sympathy with that overfowing
spirit Of youth which is sometimes q
little reckless, and which frequently
leads into mischief.
Just sit down, if you have such q son,
and recall your own early days. 1t may
be difficult for you, Just now, when you
are in the middle Of life, to see the fun
which the boy finds in what appears to
you to be utterly foolish, or perhaps
wantonly evil; but if you will turn to
the early chapters Of your ewn biogra-
ply, you will find yourself stopping up
the spouts of the old country house,
Just to see the rain pour over Like q
waterfall, and you will recall the fun OF
the old gentleman's embarrassment, as
he rushed out into the rain, bareheaded,
to find the cause of the trouble, and
thereby got an attack of the rheuma-
tism which laid him up for couple of
weeks.
Well, your boy is going through the
same experience, and, by-and-by, he
will regard it as you do now, as an un-
utterably foolish thing, and wonder
where in the world the fun was. The
truth is, that all these pranks are as
necessary to boyhood as the measles:
They are the result OF natural animal
spirits, which can no more be repressed
than can the waters which come bub-
bling up out of the sand.
We remember when q very wild colt
presented his heels to us in such q for
chile manner that, before our surprise
had vanished, we found oursef in lit
tie disguised heap on the other side Of
fiye-rail fence. At the time, we
thought it an unhorsely thing to do, and
felt exceedingly like pelting the crea-
ture with stones. But he came up to
the fence with sucn o demure and
abashed look, and put his head beneath
the rail and snuffed at Us in such q re.
pentant mood, that we concluded it
WAS mart of the necessary experience OF
the animal, and cheerfully forgave him.
Now, boys are coltish. They never
think of consequences. They only have
the fun of the thing in view.
Don't stop praying, and praying
hopefully, for your children 1t such
tines. By keeping close to the boys
heart, and trying to appreciate his side
of the matter as well as your own, you
will keep control of him.
