Diamond Rheumatic Cure.

This medicine is prepared by a careful, expert.
euced and conscientious physician, in obedience
to The desire OF numberless friends in the
in the trade and among the people. Every bottle
is warranted to contain the full strength of the med
icne in its highest state of purity and development,
and is superior to any medicine ever compounded
for this terrible complaint.
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses SUI.
fee In the most chronic cases it is sure to give
way by the use OF four five bottles. by this eli.
cient and simple remedy hundreds of dollars are
saved to those who can least afford to throw it
away, as it surely Is by the purchase Of useless
prescriptions.
This medicine is for sale at all Druggists through
out Canada and the United States. Ii it happens
that your Druggist has not got 1t in stock, ask
him to send for 1t to any of the wholesale drug.

A Diamond Factory.

There is in Paris a vast estab-
lishment the most extensive
of its kind in the world-where
theimitation of pearls, diamonds,
and precious stones generally
is carried on with all the skill
which modern ingenuity rem
ders possible, and these pro-
ductions are sent to the shops
of all lands. Here the whole
process of Transforming a few
grains Of dirty, heavy-looking
sand into diamonds of sparkling
hue is constantly going on
The sand thus employed, and
upon which the whole art de-
pends, is found in the forests
Of Fontainebleau; it appears to
possess some peculiar qualities
of adaptation to this purpose.
The coloring matter for imitat-
ing emeralds, rubies and sap
phires is entirely mineral, and
has been brought to high per-
fection. Hundreds of opera
tives are employed in polishing
the colored stones and in lining
the false pearls with fish scales
and wax. The scales Of the
dace are chiefly employed for
this purpose; they have to be
from the fish while liy-
ing, or the glistening hue so
much admired in the real pearl
will not be initiated. These
Paris pearls have been Of late
years so perfected that the Ro-
man pearl has to a great degree
been superseded. The setting
is always of real gold and the
fashion Of the newest kind.

The Lexington Ky Gazette
heartlesSly spoils a thrilling story
which recently came from that
city. 1t says: "One dark night,
not long ago, a burglar entered a
private residence on Broadway.
On ascending one flight of stairs
he observed a light in a chamber,
and while celebrating what to do,
d large woman suddenly descended
upon him, seized him by the
throat, pushed him down through
the hall, and forced him into the
street before he had time 10 think.
Heroic Repulse OF Burglar by a
Woman was the way the story
was told the next day. But when
friends called and congratulated
her upon her courage, she ex-
claimed, Good gracious, l didn't
know it was a burglar. If had |
should have been frightened to
death. | thought it was my bus
band come home drunk, and was
determined he shouldn't stay in
the house in that condition"

A Fireless Stove.

Afreless stove, as it is called,
is now being tried by a street.
car Company in Columbus, Ohio.
1t is described as a small iron
box, placed under the car seat.
The box contains the necessary
pipes and valves, and is filed
with water. The heat is sup
piled at the depot. a small up
right boiler, not higher than a
man Of ordinary stature, and
consuming no more coal than a
large heating stove, supplies the
steam. By means Of rubber
hose, the steam is introduced in
to the stove through a pipe
which projects from the outside
of the car. In a short time the
condensed steam heats the water
to 2l2 degrees, and the car is
heated and ready for travel. In
a trip of one mile and return,
occupying about thirty minutes,
the stove only loses about thir-
ty degrees of heat. Then an
Oher charge of steam is given,
and the temperature of the car
is kept pleasant constantly.

A young man with a specula-
tive optic called at an insur-
ance office in indianapolis, the
other day, and asked what a
policy on his mothers life for
$4,000 would cost. He ox-
planned that he had bought some
real estate, and that as future
payments would crowd him
some, he thought to realize
enough on the old lady's death,
as she could not live long, TO
help him out. The insurance
man advised him not to stop at
any half measures, but secure
the old lady's skeleton as we'll
and dispose of it to one of the
medical colleges.

Loring, Ex Confederate soldiers
both high up in the service of Hi:
Majesty Of Egypt, are making
character as soldiers and great
credit as explorersi in Africa. The
former is now in Upper Nubia and
the latter in Central Africa, and
both, marching along" And
that reminds US of what the Bul.
garian priest of the Greek Church,
who was here the other day, said
about our Confederate Generals
whom he met when travelling in
Egypt. He spoke particularly Of
LUring, who seems to have i'm.
pressed him most favorably; but
lie spoke in terms of condemnation
of his apostacy to his religion, and
told US what we didn't know be-
fore, that in accepting Office from
the Khedive they had to give in
their adhesion to the religion of
Mahomet. Loring gets $500 a
month, and lives like an Egyptian
magnate-his establishment in
cluding very respectable harem,
without which he would be a no.
body with no pretensions in respec-
table society.

We have youngster in the house,
= A little man Of ten,
Who dearest to his mother is
OF all. Gods little men.
In doors and out he clings to her,
He follows up and down;
He steals his slender hand in hers;
He plucks her blythe gown.
"Why do you cling to me so, child?
You track me everywhere;
on never let me be alone.''
AID he with serious air
Answered, as closer still he drew,
MY feet were made to follow you"
Two years before the boy was born
Another child, ofseven,
Whom heaven had lent to us a while,
Went back again to Heaven.
He came to fill his brothers. place,
And bless our failing years;
The good God sent him down in love
TO dry our useless tears.
/ thinkso, mother, for hear
In what the child has said
A meal ing that he knows not of,
A message from the dead.
He answered wiser than he knew,
"My feet were made to follow you.''
Come here, my child, and sit with me,
Your head upon my breast;
You are the last of all my sons,
And you must be the best.
How much love you, you may guess
When grown a man like me,
You sit as am sitting now,
Your child upon your knee.
Think of me then, and what | said
(And praeticed when l could),
'Tls something TO be wise and great,
'Tis better to be good.
Oh, say TO all things good and true,
MY feet were made to follow YOU"
Home here, my wife, and sit by ne,
And place your hand in mine
And yours, my child; while have you
'Tis wicked TO repine.
We've had ouT share of sorrows, Love
We've had our graves TO fill;
But thank the God overhead,
We have each other still!
We've nothing in the world besides,
For we are only three
Mother and child, my wife and child,
How dear you are to me!

My feet were made to follow you!

difference between winning mon

of the Sovereign intervening to
preserve the purity of gambling is
unspeakably edifying. It-is very
