The Best Sewing Machine.

The best sewing machine for all pur-
poses made is, beyond question, the Remington
1t will do a greater variety Of work, with less
noise and physical exertion than any in the
market. It is so simple that achild can man
age it, and so durable that we can see no
reason why one, with ordinary care, should not
last a lifetime.
This point we desire to call especial attention
to. The Remington is made by the Remington
Arms Co., Of lion, n. Y, whose arms are
known the world over.
They have the entire confidence of the gov
ernments of the world for the reason that they
never turned out poor weapon, nor, indeed
any but the very best. Quality is what they
pride themselves upon, for it was their capital
at the beginning The same rigid honesty that
they held to in the manufacture of arms, they
nave carried in their sewing machine They
are made Of the best material attsinable. and
no labor or expense Is spared to finish them in
such way as to make them do great deal
more than is claimed for them The name
" bennington is g sufficient guarantee to any
one VINO knows the Company. ee
The Company desire Agents in every county
Id the United States. We can say that the ma
chime. because Of it's excellence, is good one
to handle, and of the Company that their en-
ployes are certain Of fair and liberal treat
ment Write to Remington Arms Company.

I am much pleased with the results from the
use of your Spring Water. / have used for the
last two years other waters, but have never re-

from the of that you sent me- It may be ow-

which has aided in the favorable results from the

SeIf-AmputatiOn of an Arm,

A short time ago, at medical tenn
perance meeting III London, DR.. George
Lamb, in the course of a speech, men
toned the following curious incident
in hospital practice "You have not
long to be dresser or house-surgeon in
any hospital before you become practic-
ally acquainted with some of the
results of drinking upon the persons
of the patients who collect there. You
will very soon have brought under
your care broken limbs, fractured
skulls, and disfigured faces. I remem-
Der, when it happened to be one of my
weeks on duty as a dresser, a woman
came into the casualty ward, carrying
her left hand and part of the forearm
in her right hand. She had deliber-
ately cut the flesh to the bone, and,
finding she was unable to get through
the bone with the carving-knife she
was using, finished the business by
chopping it off with blunt Ak. The
tagging of the wound by this instru-
ment prevented, in a measure, some
of the bleeding that would have
otherwise occurred. She was at once
placed in bed, and the arm had to be
amputated higher up, more in accor-
dance with surgical art. The only
explanation She could give of her
conduct was that the devil was on
her clock, and had told her to do it.
[ need scarcely tell you that the devil,
in this case, as in many others, had
entered In the form of strong drink"

Damask was originally of silk, the
ground of which was bright and glossy,
with vine leaves, flowers aud figures
interviewer. According to some writer's
this kind of weaving was invented by
the inhabitants of Damascus, from
whence it derives it's name. At that
period the true damask was of single
color in later times, it was manufac-
tured of variegated colors, as it still is
upon the continent, and in such cases
1t IS denominated R0s de SiciIe. In
commerce, however, we recognize only

asked ourselves. that the word ''bit-

gin, whisky, rum, and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied in
discriminatory. Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of healthful tonic,
not of a poisonous stimulant some
thing invigorating to the system, not
an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil,
producing present intoxication and III
innate insanity, idiocy, or premature
death. Moreover, our idea of bitters
was totally irreconcilable with "gin
cocktails, rum punches" and

rendered doubly injurious with es-
sences colored by means of mineral
