to add my testimony t. the wonderful curative
properties OF your Alt. Ext, or Golden Medi-

ta ais medicine since first usedit: was badly

like magic and perfect wonder to lnyself:

out bottle of the Discovery and Purgative
Pellets in the house. They are a solid, sound
family physician in the house, and ready At
all tines to fly, to the reliefof sickness-w without
charge. We have never had a doctor in tie
honse since We first began the use OF your
Pellets and Discovery. I have recommended
the use of these medicines in several severe
and complicated cases arising from, as |
thought, an impure state Of the blood, and in
no ole case have they failed to more than &C.
complish all they are claimed to do. l will
only mention one as remarkable. (though |
could give you dozens.) Henry Roster, ferni-
ture dealer, Of this place, who was one OF the
most piti'ul objects ever seen. his face swollen
out of shape, scales AID eruptions without end,
extending to his body, which was completely
covered with blotc hes and scales. Nothing
that he took seemed to effect it particle. I
finally induced him to try few bottles of the
Golden Medical Discovery, with daily use of
the Pellets, assuring him it would surely cure
since, taking two Pellets each night for week.
then one each night, and the Discovery as di.
rected. The result is, to day his skin is per-
Fectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions lre
gone. He has taken some seven or eight bot
Iles in all, and considers himself cured Thia
Ease had bafled the skill of our hest physicians.

Wearln4 Spectacles.

When the eyes begin to fail, use them
as little as possible at night, and avoid
reading fine print or. doing any work by
lamp light which tries them. But when
you instinctively adjust your book so IS
to get : better light, when the eyes are
easily fatigued and there is a sense Of
effort to make out the letters in print or
to take stitches in sewing, spectacles are
needed. They ale the last things to be
bought for cheapness. Brazilian glasses
are best, because Of natures make, and
most difficult to be scratched, but yo,
should wear manufactured glasses first,
until the eye becomes accustomed to their
use. Always note the number Of your
glasses and the date of frst using them
il lost you can tell what number you
want. Glasses should be washed every
day in cold water, wiped dry with . linen
fabric and then with buckskin, never
With paper. as it scratches them. .'s,,i :

Friendship is good deal like China. 1t
is very durable and beautiful as long as
it is quito whole; but break it, and all
the cement in the world will never quite
repair the damage. You may stick the
pieces together so that, at distance, it
looks nearly as we'll MS ever; but it won t
hold hot water: 1t is always ready to de.
ceive you if you trust it; and
it is, on the whole, very
worthless thing, fit only to be
put empty on shelf, and forgotten there.
The finer and more delicate it is, tho more
utter the ruin. A mere acquaintance,
which needs only q little ill-humor to
break it up, may be coarsely puttied like
that old yellow basin in the store.closet ::
but tenderness, and trust, and
sweet exchange of confidence can
no more be yours when
angry words and thoughts have broken
them than can those delicate porcelain
tea cups which were splintered to pieces
be restored to their original excellence.
The slightest crack will spoil the true
ring. and you had better search for new
friend than try to mend the old one. And
all this has nothing to do with forgive
ness. One may forgive and be forgiven,
but the deed has been done,
and the word said; the flowers and
the gliding are gone. The formal 'smak-
ing-np, especially between two women,
is of no more avail than tha wonderful
cements that haye made cracked ugli-
ness Of the china vase that you expected
to be your ':joy forever" Handled deli.
cately, washed to purity in the waters of
truth, confdcd to no careless, unsym.
pathizing hands, friendship may last two
lives out; but it ''does not pay" to try
to mend it. Once broken. it is spoiled
forever.

Hunting for the Ozone Bolt.

l am sorry to say that Cooley has
rugged up that balloon Of his again, and
begun series Of fresh explorations Of the
atmosphere for the purpose of discovering
the ozone belt. He has discontinued the
use of sand.bags for ballast, preferring to
depend upon drag rope and grapnel for
regulating his assent and descent, Just as
Donelson does. The first time he went
up he passed, As usual, directly over my
garden, and rs the grapnel caught in the
grape arbor, III two or three minutes that
ornamental trellis-work was passing
through the ozone belt at the rate of a
mile minute. When Cooley cut it
loose it fell on the Presbyterian church
steeple, where it remains in a most ab.
surd position, nobody being able to re-.
move it. The deacons talk of suing me
for damages because I would not
take away my property; and I must say
that this seems TO me to be q little hard.
Cooley went up on the following Thurs.
day to make further examination of the
ozone belt, but this time he swept over
the roof Of my house, and the onl y dam.
age done was that he ripped off my tap
door, and then the grapnel caught in my
chimney in such way that it was torn
to pieces. one Of the bricks falling upon
Judge PittmaI' s dog, which was standing
below barking at the balloon. Perhaps j
shall be asked to pay for that dog, too. 1
saw Pitman talking with a lawyer yester.
day, and looking as If he was discussing
tho law npon the dead dogs. l shall fight
the case clear through the Supreme Court
Of the United States. if necessary. That
voyage Of Cooley's was so unsatisfactory
to him that he went up again two
days later, and this time
the balloon sailed due east. The
drag rope again swooped through my
place, tearing up my dwarf pear tree,
breaking eighty feet Of clothes line, and
ripping four sheets and pair Of drawers
to rags, removing the roof to my stable,
and frightening my horse, SO that he
kicked eight boards out Of the stall, dis.
locating his off hind leg, and fell over on
my 1rishman, breaking two Of his ribs.
He can't sue me, at any rate for awhiles
for he is in the hospital; but am getting !
up case against Cooley; and I think / |
can win it when tell the jury of his con.
duct on the subsequent day, when he |
went up to make chemical tests on ozone.
The wind was blowing furiously, and be.
lore he was ready to 90 the balloon
dashed of, over my way, of course,
md the grapnel caug ht in the
hoops of my hired girl. She was in
The garden. 1t seemed at first when she
'hot up that she would probably. contin-
1e on upward until she struck, the Milky.
Way; but when she assembled until she
must have had superb view Of Buenos
Ayres and Iceland the balloon began to
descend. and finally the girl got loose
somehow, and fell into the top Of the big
chimney at the. car-wheel works, where
he stuck. Il cost $3.50 to get that hired
irl down. and she lsft $ that very night. J
