Just Taken His Bitters.

We heard seedy-looking individual with an alarmingly red nose remark to 8 brother soaker that he had "just had his bitters, but he did not mind taking another nip" His remark sug- gested train of reflection. How was it, we asked ourselves, that the word " bitters had grown to be 8 synonym for gin, whiskey, rum, and other alco- holic stimulants, to which it was ap- piled indiscriminately. Bitters, we reasoned, suggested the idea of health full tonic, not of poisonous stimu- lant something invigorating to the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil, producing present intoxi- cation and ultimate insanity, idiocy, or premature death. Moreover, our idea of bitters was totally irreconcilable with ''gin cocktails" ''rum punches," and "brandy smashes," which, we are in- formed, are sweetened with sugar, and rendered doubly injurious with essences colored by means of mineral poison. This was bitter-sweet with vengeance. We mentioned this problem to friend. He solved it by exclaiming: Why. don't you know that mo t of these bit ters advertised as remedies are only drams in disguise? Topers know it, if you do not. I must make one excep- tion, however," he added, 'and that's DR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BrrTERs there isn't particle of alco- hol or fermented liquor in it, and it is the best vegetable tonic and alternative in America. ."-Con1.

Dr.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription

is very strongly recommended by the Medical Faculty, and is largely prescribed among their Female Patients. It is worthy of all confidence, as may be seen from the following testimonials: Dr. G. B. Chapman, Plattsmouth, Neb, writes have under treatment lady, who, for the past seven years has been afflicted, and, after trying several physicians without receiving benefit, is gaining rapidly on your Favorite Prescription.

 DR. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.-Dear Sir |: have not words to express my gratitude to you for your assistance in my case. There is not one who has used your medicines since they have been brought here, but that can say with me they have been greatly benefited. Since have been so helped by it's use, six or seven around me left off all doctors and other medicines and now use it in their families, after being cured of the same disease as mne You do not know what & wonder it created in our city, by it's restoring my sister wrote you about for she had been under the care of three of our best doctors, but could not sit up but for 8 few minutes at one time. I begged of her to try your medicines. and before she had used half the bottles she could go all around the yard, and has now just come home from & visit five miles away.
 MRS. THOMAS MCFARLAND. From Mics Forinda E. St. Clair, Shade,

How He Makes Love.

One night he came, rang the bell, and asked the ser want, els Miss - in, and if so, why ? Is she engaged, and how,2' Then he went in, and the little tattle-tale, listen ing at the key-hole, heard him say, !" My darling, do you love me? If not, why not?" After e while" Give a
 synopsis of your employment during the week. Analyze thoroughly and completely the state of your sentiments toward me-" When he left, after kiss ing her, he remarked, "Be prepared on next Sunday at half-past two, P.

The Best Salesman.

The best kind of salesman for these dull times is an advertisement in a newspaper. It never tires in it labors, and never shrinks its duty it talks to customers when they are in the best mood to be favorably impressed. It has access to the merchant, the scholar, the artist, the mechanic. and the farm. CT. It goes unquestioned into the most private and sacred of retreats. The lawyer listens to it while working up his case; the doctor dives into it when not divining disease; the ladies have it in their laps while leisurely lolling in their boudoirs. It is present in thousands of places at the same mo- ment, and does it's work silently, earn estly, but always well.

Incidents of a Disaster.

The following touching incidents are told of the Pittsburgh disaster
 A little girl was seen floating past or the roof of building, when it began to sink. She shrieked, and a man, whose drowning was only question oi time, standing on cooper shop which had been overturned, reached forward to save her. He lost his balance, fell and both were lost.
 A young and beautiful girl in her night clothes, with her long golden hair streaming in the wind, was seen tc stand on her knees in the upper cham Der of floating building engaged in supplication. The house struck against a solid brick building, and for a mo. ment its mad course was stayed.
 Instantly she was seen to rush to the window and stretch forth her white arms into the night, as though mutely appealing for help. One moment and the building had fallen, and was whirl. ing on into the mad, seething vortex. and she was seen no more.
 The last woman found was young mother. Close to her breast she held her young babe in 8 grasp so tight that 1t was several moments before it could be unloosed from her embrace. Her face and that of her child was not mu- tilated in the least.
 It seems as though death had come upon them in their sleep, and they had passed passed away without struggle. Others were discovered in positions which told that they had not yielded without struggle. Strong men were found with the clothing torn from their bodies, save few shreds; women and children were found in all attitudes and positions, some with the agonizine throes of death struggles written plain ly on their faces, some with hands cut and bleeding from having come in con. tact with nails and splinters in their vain grasping for life.

HHdrOphObia,

u The subject of hydrophobia is under going thorough investigation. A meet ing of the medical faculty was recently convened at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, and the various complex questions in connec- tion with this mysterious disease were frankly discussed. '' What is hydro phobia r :" Can the disease be pro- duced by the bite of non-rabid dog ?" "Oan it be caused by the imagination alone b"sWhat are the best methods of prevention and of treatment p These and kindred topics were brought before the meeting by various physicians. As yet the disease is not fully understood by medical men, but facts are studied carefully, and knowledge in regard to it is increasing. .45

CURE FOR A THOMAS soon as dis covered, take some spirits of turpen- tine in cup, dip the finger in it, and then hold the hand near 8 hot fire till dry then dip it in again, and repeat for fifteen minutes, or till the pain ceases. The next day, with sharp knife, pare off the thick skin, and you will find something like honeycomb filled with clear water open the cells and the felon is gone. If the felon is too far gone for turpentine, oil of orig anum, treated in the same way, will cure. If too far advanced for either to cure, the felon will still be benefited, as it will be less painful. Never draw it.
