MY Dear Sir-Having at various times, person
ally and in my own and other families, tested the
great value the medicine calico Peruv an Syrup.
or Protected solution OF Protoxide oflrol. most
cheerfuly recommend It especially TO those who
are suffering from dyspeetic ard nervous disor-
ders. AS areliable and powerful Alternative Il is
think unsurpassed ;and as tonic free from all the
Objectionable features of alcoholic remedies, 1t is
a most efficient auxiliary TO the ten importance cause.
One of the greatest hindrances 10 the temperance
reform a. present is, as think, the medical use oil
alcoholic stimulents. Whatev err may be argued AS
to their necessity in certain cases, have in the
Peruvian Syrup, safe and efficient substitute for
those dangerous remedies. This testimony Is CIV
en- unsolicited, with the hope that some who are
not yet acquainted with the valuable properties of
the medicine may be induced 10 give it q trial.
Yours truly, JOHN GREGORY

PURE MILK By TIE "FRENCH METHOD"

In the "Home and Society" department
of Scribner for July, Joel Benton des-
cribes new experiment of dairy-man
as follows: These glass bottles, which are
sent from "Sweet-clover Farm in
Sharon. Conn.,, and from nowhere else in
the world are made of beautiful clear
glass, and, though of daintier proportion,
resemble somewhat in shape the larger
champagne bottles. They are supplied
with wired rubber cork, similar To that
used for sarsaparila and beer bottles, and
on the side of the hange of the wire,
which is to be raised before the cork can
be opened, a paper label is pasted over
tapping the wire on the g lass neck, where
on is printed the day and date on which
the bottle was filled. On the base of the
bottle is a general label giving the aaver-
tisement OF the farm on which the method
originated, and little piece OF informa-
ton of which we shall presently speak.
When twenty OF these bottles are filled
they are put into a box just large enough
TO hold them, separated from each other
by rack partition. 1t is easy to see that
milk put up in this way says to the pur
chaser at once. and unmistakably: IL am
the genuine article" For, il would be
utterly impracticable TO try to tamper with
it. The label, which cannot be broken
without detection, gives to the buyer the
correct history OF the contents OF every
bottle; and when he draws the cork. he
knows that the grass his milk was secret
ed from was cropped the day before on
the slopes OF lovely pastures in Litchfield
county, Conn. There is no fear OF chalk.
of chemicals, or OF water. 1t is the same
fluid you find in the pail as it comes from
the country barn. A sentence printed on
the bottles tells US that the boiling of
Milk oil one Cow is specially and to
young children and invalids this news
becomes q pleasant proclamation. For
ordinary use the combination of milk of
20 to 100 cows sutlices, if the dairy be
well kept; but, under special circum-
stances It is desirable, and in the case OF
delicate infants may save life, to have the
milk which is used drawn regularly from
one COW. When the bottles are discrim-
ated 10 this way an extra label is used to
designate Cow %" or "Cow 81" and so
on.

We print below the Bland Silver bill
as it passed the House, and as amended
by the Senate Committee on Finance.
The House bill ends with the words

in brackets and added the words which

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
An old-rash,o toned Time.


Come, Mary and Susie, let's run out and play;
The morning is lovely, the birds singing gay; I.
The world has welcome for travellers, we know,
30 on for a holiday, come, let us go.
Wen stray by the meadows Of sweet-scented grain
Wen stroll through the brook, and the fences
We'll climb.
Though weary and dusty, we will not'complain,
But glory in having an old-fashoned time
An old-fashioned time an old-fashioned time!
We glory in having an old-fashioned timel
The barn will scour, and rife the nest ,
OF eggs that are surely the biggest and best;
Wen set all our traps, and expectantly wait
For the rabbits and weazles to nibbe our bait.
Well ride in the wagon without any springs,
And laugh till the echoes shall answer in rhyme,
While the bird from the tree-top exultingy sings.
"Oh, are We not having an old-fashioned time?"
An old-fashioned time! an old-fashioned time
o, are we not having an oid-fashioned time!
Well rake up the hay, and we'll follow the plow
Wen be on good terms with the horse and the COW !;
The dear little pigs and the chickens We'll feed,
And down to the water the ducks we VIII lead:
In search of their treasures the woods we'll ex-
plore;
Unmindful of danger the trees will climb,
For up III the meadow down by the shore,
We're bent upon having an old-tashioned time
An old-fashioned time an old-fashioned tmel
We're bent upon having All old-fashoned time
Come Mary and Susie. be young while you may,
And put all the fun that you can III your play;
Be lively and cheerful--you dear little prude
One may frolic and yet not be naughty or rude.
And when old and have sorrow and care,
Then sweet in our hearts win these memories
chime,
As we sing the old songs and together declare
There's nothing so sweet AZ an oid-fasnioned
timei
An old-fashionod time an old-fashioned time
There's nothing so nice as an old-fashioned time !!
