MODERN MEDICAL DIsCovERY.- 1t is
claimed that disease, with few excep-
lions, has been conquered by the re-
search and intellect of enlightened men !;
and yet noted professor of New York
admits that :" of all sciences, medicine
is the most uncertain" and that i" thou
sands are annually slaughtered in the
sick ROOM" Certain "schools of
medicine are in existence, one of which
"makes the patient ILL.," in order to
claim a cure and another administers
"sugar- coated bread pills." relying
upon nature to effect her own cures.
DIR. j. WALKER, of California, an old
and respected physician, tried both
modes of treatment and both failed. He
then appealed to natures curative
herbs and now enjoys rugged health.
He has given the benefit of his discov-
cry to the world, in the shape of VINEGAR
BTrTERs, and since its introduction has
sold quantity almost large enough to
make a small harbor, or to float the
+" Great Eastern" It's curative proper
ties are attested by grateful thousands.

What is Meant by a Horse Power

The power of prime movers is meas
ured by horse power. Watt found that
the strongest London draft horses were
capable of doing work equivalent to
raising SO, 900 pounds one foot high per
minute, and he took this as the unit of
power for the steam engine. The horse
is not usually capable of doing so great
a quantity of work. Rankine gave &c.
600 foot pounds as the figure for mean
of several experiments, and it is prob
able that $4,000 foot pounds is fair
minutes average work for a good ami
NAL. 1t would require five or six men
to 10 the work of a strong horse.
Watts estimate has become, by general
consent among engineers, the standard
of power measurement for all purposes.

THE LAST FLOWER OFTHE YEAR.

The gentian was the years last child,
Born when the winds we're hoarse and wild
With wailng over buried flowers,
The playma,es of their SUMMER hours.
TIE gentian hid thoughtful eye
Beneath deep fringes, blue and shy;
Only by warmest noon-beaIas won,
To meet the welcome of the sun.
The gentian, her long lashes through,
Looked up into the sky Of blue,
And felt at home-the color, there,
The good God gave herself 10 wear.
The gentian searched the fields around;
No fiower-cOmpanion there she found.
Upward, from ali the woodland way,
Fioated the aster's silvery rays.
The gentian shut her eyelids tight
On falling leaf and frosty night
Aud close her azure mantle drew,
While dreary winds around her blew
The gertian said, % The world is cold:
Yet one clear glimpse of heaven l hold.
The suns last thought is mine to keep;
Enough-now let me go to Sleep"

A TIN tube, made like siphon, driven

SCHOOLMASTER OF RUSSIAN BAR

"When is he expected ?"
They said he was coming in to-
nights stage"
He taught in Frisco, didn't he ?"
"Yes /; / guess he was In the depart
ment."
The doctors wife was an authority on
all matters in Russian Bar and on this
last sensation, the coming of a school
master, she freely enlightened her neigh
Dor, Mrs. Blunt, plump widow, whose
miner husband had died few months
before. There was not much to gossip
about in that quiet village. The arri-
val and departure of the stage brought
the people to their doors three times q
week, and if a stranger was noticed, en-
voys were Immediately dispatched to
the hotel to learn his name and bust
ness and the probable length of his
stay. But new Russian Bar was to
have a new schoolmaster and the folks
wondered much If he would have any
trouble with Sam Seymour, the butch
er's boy, or Ike Walker, an unruly
spirit, who had knocked down and
pummeled the last preceptor who un-
dertook to teach him school discipline.
The trustees we're powerless in these
matters ard declared that if school
master was not able to "get away" with
the boys IN a square, stand-up fight,
he might as well pick up his traps and
leave Ruasian Bar.
Or the very evening of the expected
arrival, Seymour and Walker, the lead
ing spirits of the mutinous schoolboys,

them to his friend. At last, finding
that the fish would not bite, they shout.

the village, pausing moment to stone
a Chinaman's rooster, which had
strayed too far from the protecting

Philip Houghton was schoolmastel
from necessity, and not taste. Like
many who have been educated as gen
tlemen in one sense of the word, that
is, without the acquaintance with any
special pursuit that might be turned to
any particular account in the struggle
for bread, he found himself adrift in
California with nothing to fall back on
Seeing an advertisement In a city paper
for a competent teacher to take charge
of the school at Russian Bar, he an
swered it, and was accepted at ven
ture. Putting his few movables to
gether-a pair of old foils and a Sc
of well worn boxing gloves, for Hough
ton was an accomplished boxer ant
fencer-he bought ticket for Russian
Bar.
He found the stage driver a commu
NEGATIVE, pleasant fellow, who, at his re
quest, described the characteristics of hi
future home. Indeed, his description
of the class of boys whom Houghtol
was totake charge OF, was not very enceur
aging. You'll find them hard lot,

THE SPANISH SAILOR.

1t was that dreadful winter that the SPANS
or was found. Ain, me! it is pure white VII
dyl.,-Bret HdYte.
The spow-fraught winds walled drearily,
As might some hapless ghost,
That winter eve, long years ago,
On the lone New Jersey coast
The night, with freezing, darkling glance,
Had frowned upon the day,
Til, pailing with alright, the sun
In terror stole away.
The cattle shiyered in their stalls,
Beneath each warm roof-tree;
The good folks whispered in their prayers,
"God help those out at sea. :"
When, sudden piercing through the storm,
A sound there rose and fell,
A word in strangely foreign tone,
And sad as funeral bell
The cabin door was open flung,
That all in wOful plight
Might see, as 'twere a beacon FIRE,
The CHEEKY homestead light.
Naught but the darkness met their gaze;
Their ears, the muffied roar
OF breaking waves on ice-bOund coast
Of that lone ocean shore
Again upon the midnight air
That weird cry family rose,
And .'Chr;stus - "Christus - broke upon
The cottagers' repose.
The morning dawns, and eager hands
The snow-drifts cast away,
But wondrous pitiful the sight
That there before them lay.
A bronzed and bearded mariner
Had persisted that dread night,
In sight and sound of Christian souls,
OF rest, and warmth, and light
And as they looked q shrill voice broke
Upon their startled sense,
As though once more the cold lips spoke,
o. Christus," take me hence.
All fed save she, the youngest there,
Who fesrlessly knelt down.
And smoothed the glossy raven hair,
And bearded cheek so brown.
And opening with her baby hands,
In curious, childish quest,
His jacket rough, found nesting close
Upon the dead mans breast.
A little foreign bird, with voice
OF mimic tone and power,
Whose soft>wings glistened in the sun,
Like some bright tropic flower
And oft in after years, when it
The household pet became,
It echoed its lost masters cry
Upon the holy name

Hack, Hack! Cough, Cough.

Cough is symptom by which various diseas
edconditions of the throat, bronchial tubes, and
lungs manifest themselves. But whether it
arises from the irritation produced in the
throat and larynx by taking cold, from an at
tack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consump-
ton. or from various other causes. nothing
will allay it more speedily nor cure it more
permanently than DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t does not matter whether it be
a recent attack, or lingering cough, the Dis
covery is in either case equally we'll adapted
for it's relief and permanent cure. In fact, it
viii cure cough in one-half the time neces-
sary to cure it with any other medicine, and
it does it. not by drying it up, but by removing
the cause, subduing the irritation and healing
the affected parts. No time should be lost in
commencing the use of a proper medicine for
the relief of a Cough, for unless this course is
pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the
lungs is liable to result.

AN EASTERN LEGEND.-The philoso-
piers of India once possessed book
so large that it required thousand
camels to carry it. A King desired to
have it abridged, and certain scholars
reduced it so that it could be carried by
a hundred camels. Other kings came,
who demanded that it should be di-
minished still more, until at length the
volume was reduced to four maxims.
The first of these maxims babe kings to
be just; the second prescribed obedi-
ence to the people the third recon-
mended mankind not to eat except when
they were hungry; the fourth advised
women to be modest.

REGULAR EATING.-Half the girls in
the land become dyspeptic before they
are out of their teens, in consequence of
being about the house and nibbling at
everything they lay their eyes on that is
good to eat ; whereas, were they to eat
but three times day at regular times,
and not an atom between meals, they
might enjoy perfect health. To digest
a full meal and pass it out of the stom-
ach requires not less time than five
hours. If a person eats between meals,
the process of digestion of the food al
ready in the stomach is arrested, until
the last which has been eaten is brought
into the condition of the former meal !;
just as, If water is boiling and ice is put
in, the whole ceases to boil until the
ice has been melted and brought to the
boiling point, and then the whole boils
together. No wonder that dyspeptics
are cross and peevishl How can they
be otherwise, since disordered stomach
is the source of SO many pangs? Yet
they deserve punishment for neglecting
to obey the laws which nature renders
imperative if health is to be preserved.
