MR., NAsBY,s DEDICATION.


A Man with = Model mother-in-Law.
A new addition to the advanced theo-
logical literature OF the day is shortly
to appear from the pen Of the popular
clergyman, the Rev. Petroleum Y. Mas
by, whose sweet esthetic strain Is in
one respect like the voice Of the turtle,
is everywhere "heard in the land. "
Our clerical friend is to occupy his
summer pastoral vacation in preparing
for the press q volume entitled "The
Morals OF Abou Ben Adhem "-the
same whose tribe increased. This new
book from this prolific author will deal
proiusely in the sweet charities Of life,
as Is evident from the authors dedica.

ing tribute to his mother.in.law. It is

Salt in Sickness.

DR.. Scudder remarks: "I am satis-
fed that have seen patients die from
deprivation OF common salt during 0
protracted illness. II 10 q common i'm
preston that the food for the sick
should not be seasoned, and whatever
slop may be given, II is almost innocent
OF this essential Of life. In the milk
diet that I recommend In sickness,
common salt is used freely, the milk
being boiled and given hot. And II
the patient cannot take the usual quan.
tityoi his food, have IL given In his
drink. This matter is so important
that II cannot be repeated too often, or
dwelt upon too long. The most marked
example Of this want Of common salt l
have ever noticed has been in surgical
disease, especially in open wounds.
Without supply Of salt the tongue
would become broad, pallid, puffy, with
O tenacious, paBty coat, the secretions
arrested, the circulation feeble, the
eifusion al the point OF injury serious,
with an unpleasant, watery pus. which
az last becomes q mere sanies or ichor.
A few days Of 0 free allowance Of salt
wonld remove all this, and the patient
get along we'll"

Tnr GoAT's MAsGuvRE.-A corre-
spondent in Philadelphia describes q
battle between dog and goat, in sub.
stance as follows: The dog attacked
the goat in the street, the goat tising
his akuIl aud horn weapons, which the
dog eyaded by artful dodging. This
continued for half an hour, when the
goat adopted q nov line Of policy. He
gradually retreated till he reached the
sidewalk, when, turning alowly round,
he got the dog between him and the
building; he then madea final charge
with all his strength, forcing the dog
against the wall, nearly breaking his
ribs, and this decided the battle.

in their homes, because they cannot be
recovered. The truth Is, the average
country girl Is as fond Of fne feathers
as her city sister, and the allurements
Of spangles and bright dresses are gen.
orally too much for her tnsophisticated
mind. With each recurring summer
come these stories Of girlsrunning away

OF tho pernicious Gensational literature

H. Swan has rented Baxter
Hall, and will soon use it for Billiard
Room. The tables are now on the
way from Boston. This billiard
mania is raging fearfully here, and if
it proves fatal in some cases, we shall
not be disappointed, nor regret it much.
Three Billiard Rooms are too much
for the place. Gaming of any kind is
a useless waste of time and money,
and should not be encouraged by
good citizens.

Town meeting is the tack this
morning. The so called Temperance
party are struggling to hatch an egg,
but it is feared that it has been set on
too long. The probability is that the
old board of town officers will be
elected.
AT the temperance meeting last
Friday Eve, at the new Baptist Yes
try, there seemed to be little excite
ment, owing to slight varience be-
tween the head centers. We think
they should pull together until the
party gets little stronger.

KIND WORDS.

The Associated Reformed Presbyterian
sovs-For wears Perry Davis Pain. Killer has
been known as most useful family medicine
For pains and aches we know nothing so
good as the Pain Killer. For many internal
diseases it is equally good. We speak from
experience, and testify to what we know. NO
family ought to be without bottle Of Davis
Paia~Killer.
MEssRs. PERRY DAVIS, & Son, Prov. X. L.
Gents :--Although stranger to you am
not to your invaluable medicine, Paln-hlller.
/ formed its acquaintance in lS47 ard am ON
most intimate terms with it still my expert
ence in its use confirms my belief that there
is no medicine equal to Pain-Killer for the
quick and sure cure of Summer Complaints,
Sore Throat, Group, Bruises and Cuts. L
have used it in all and found speedy cnre
in every case.
Judging by our own experience whoever
once makes trial of Perry Davis Pain
Killer, will not fail to recommend it widely
as an unequalled liniment, and valuable in
terna remedy for colds and various other
complaints. Every Month";
The efficacy of Perry Davis World-renown'
Pain Killer in all diseases OF the bowels,
even in that terrible scourge, the Asiatic
cholera, has been amply attested by the most
convincing authority. Missionaries in China
and Inds have written home in commenda-
ton of this remedy in terms that should
carry conviction to the most skeptical, while
its popularity in communities nearer home is
ample proof that the virtues claimed for it are
real and tangible. Among family medicines
it stands unrivaled. -BOstOn Courier.
The Saturday Even'g Gazette oil Boston,
says
1t is impossible to find place on this broad
land where Perry Davis Pain.Killer is not
known as a most valuable remedy for phys
ical pain. In the country. miles from physl-
clan or apothccary, the Pain-killer is cherish
ed as the exclusive panacea, and 1T never de-
cCives.
"Pery Davis Pain-Kile is really val
liable medcament, and, unlike most of the az
| tces of the day, is used by many physicians
1t is particularly desirable in locations where
physicians are not near; and, by keeping it al
hand, families will often save the necessity Of
sending out at midnight for doctor. bot
tie should be kept in every house."-Bostof

the virtues claimed for it, but in many in

No REFORM SHooL FOR GIRLS
Vermont is just waking up to the dis
covery that its criminal laws are very
defective and bear most unequally
upon female offenders. A case in
point is the recent committal of a girl
16 years old to the State prison for a
year for stealing a shawl, to stand
committed till she pays the costs of
prosecution. If it had been a boy he
would have been sent to the reform
school, but there is no reform school
for girls,

The first general and full social
gathering of Democratic Congress
men at Washington City the present

a few evenings ago, at which an ex-
cellent dinner was served. All the
Democratic members of Congress in
the city and several other prominent
Democrats were in attendance. This
highly enjoyable festival was brought
about by Representative Whitehouse,
the efficient member from the XIIIth
District, in New York State. These
"Sociables," if conducted properly,
will be quite pleasant, and should be
held frequently.

MESSRS. CUTLER BROS. & co.

In ordering another small lot of your in
valuable
Vegetable Pulmonary BalSan
l should like to tell you what kow about it,
in order that others may have the benefit of
my
EXPERIENCE.
Since this Balsam first came to my notice
in 1913 have kept it constantly in the house,
never allowing myself to be out Of it over
night. In all these
TWENTY-FIVE YERS
it has not failed in single instance in my
own case to give the desired relief; and |
will say the same in regard to my mother,
whose
LIFE WAS SAVED
by it, as 1 cannot but think. Hers was case
OF Congestion of the Lungs, and although at.
tended by most skiliull Physician, she seem
ed to fail constantly, so that we despared of
her recovery, when an old friend and neigh
Dor persuaded her to try this Vegetable Pull
monary Balsam. The result was most graft
flying, [ assure you.
RELIEF WAS IMMEDIATE
and recovery rapid. She is now over 50
years old, and is active and well. Whenever
She gets severe cold. which happens once
in II while, she takes thirty 10 sixty drops,
according to the violence OF the cough, which
has always yielded in day or two by taking
the Balsam only on retiring at night With
/ it the
IRRITATION
is at once 3ubdued and a good nights sleep
secured.
will mention another case, that of y""n.,
lady acquaintance, who
BLED AT THE LUNGS
and coughed frightfully had night sweats
and was fearfully reduced. She left Boston
for her country home, l5O miles away, az we
supposed to die. sent her n bottle OF your
l3alsam, and soon had the satisfaction to hear
that she was much better She continued
taking 1t for while and got
ENTIRELY WELL,
and is living now, which fact is to be ascrib-
ed mainly to the use OF the
Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam.
