This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable Observation-Disclosures, Man
drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO, skilfully
combined that the full alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
1t is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still SO effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corrupfions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
nf these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
The superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine
SO generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than 10 assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The Story No One Knew.

Once there was a little story that
nobody knew, and nobody could tell it
because nobody knew it, and yet this
little story wanted dearly to be told. 1t

telling stories, and, when Il story was
ended and the merry laugh went round
II would say to itself, "NoW they will
certainly tell me- but they never did.
SO at last this little story got quite low
SPIRITED and wandered off by itself out
OF the house, and through the garden
into the orchard and, there in the orch
ard, under All apple tree, there was
little girl lying fast asleep among the
butter cups and daiSes. The little story
looked all around to see that no one
else was there and then it cuddled
down beside the sleeping child and
whispered Itself iuto her ear. 1t was
so exciting, 50 charming, that the little
girl aWohe and thought she dreamed it,
all, and ran TO tell her mother this
beautiful dream. When she saw her
mother, she cried out, Mother moth

all, and now the little story can never
be told but it st Il comes to good chill

Sir w. Thompson's soundings of the

Cement for meerschaum: Take some
garlic and crush it, in order to form a
kind of dough; rub over the broken
pieces of meerschaum with it, and
reunite them by drawing very closely;
bind them with iron wire, according to
the strength of the pieces, and finally
make them boil during half an hour in
a sufficient quantity Of milk; or use
quicklime mixed to a thick cream with
the white of an egg. These cements

at a dinner given IN Philadelphia to
some Indians, a young chief, observing

English Prime Ministers have rarely
been very rich men, and some have
been quite the reverse. Pitt never
married, and declared that he couldn't
afford it, and Canning and Disraeli
were bolstered up by rich wives. The
late Lord Derby and Sir Robert Peel
are about the only instances of very
wealthy Prime Ministers, though Lord
Melbourne was very well off. Lord
Palmerston only became SO late in life
through a rise in mineral property.
His wife, too, succeeded to her brother
Lord MelbOurne's estates.
A serious attempt isabout to be made
in London to introduce horsefesh rs an
article of food. 1t will be remembered
that in 1868 grand banquet was held
at the Langham Hotel, at which the
chief dishes at least of every course
consisted of horseflesh dressed in va
riety of ways. Tie dinner was pro-
nounced to be a success. The Board of
Works having sanctioned the estab-
lishment of slaughter houses for horses
intended for human food, hippophagy
may be expected to have fair trial in
England.

Don't wash your vegetables until just
before you are ready TO cook them. At
least one-quarter of the value in sweet
ness, vivacity. and aromatic element
is lost by the too common practice Of

roughly dug, is put into the cellar or
pit of the counuyman for winter keep
ing. Did that countryman wash each
beet, carrot, potato, etc, as is generally
practiced for sale 10 the dealer. and by
the consumer desired, he would never
be able TO keep his produce q single
month. The receiver of clean washed

people, if once they leave their city

Of the better knowledge of cookery, but

IS washed, eyaporates rapidly into the

As an elegant hair dressing stands Par
ker's Hair Balsam, deservedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and its
healthful, cleansing and healing proper
ties. Commencing at the roots, it pro-
notes Il luxuriant growth of young hair,
and. unfailingly restores gray or faded
hair to its criminal youthful color, giving
a soft, rich and lustrous appearance of
great beauty. IT is pleasantly cooling to
the scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff, cures
itching and humors, and stops falling of
the hair. 1t is perfectly harmless, ex-
quisitely perfumed, never soils the skin
or gums the hair, and pleases everybody
by its many excellent and attractive quail
tiles. Buy bottle from your druggist,

Boys and young men sometimes start
out in life with the idea that ones sue

The fertility of English soil is de-

observers for the last ten years. These

the wheat crop sent in the last ten
wears has been SIT. OF these 973 were
over average, LIP average and 2,492

one-half the replies to have been "un-
der average" The barley crop returns
for The same ten years were 500 over
averages, 1866 average and 2003 under
average-a little better showing than
the above. The oat crop returns were
50l over average, 1856 average and
2,052 under average. In the wheat crop
of 1877 only six of 400 returns repre-
scented il rs above the average, and no
less than 500 below the average. These
figures show at once that, III the judg-
meGt of these 400 observers, the crops
for the last ten years have been under

One of the crying evils o. the times
Is the tendency and disposition of girls
to get through girihood hurriedly and
get into womanhood, or rather into
young ladyhood, without waiting to
enjoy the beautiful season of girlhood.
Speaking on this point. Bishop Morris
says: WAIT patiently, my dear child
rem, through the whole period of your
girlhood. Go not after womanhood:
let it come to you. Keep out Of public
view. Cultivate retirement and mod

life will come soon enough. When
they come you will meet them, l trust,
as true women should. But oh! be not

Mo,ddiness is occasioned by the
growth of minute vegetation. Ink,
paste, leather and seeds most frequent
ly suffer by it. A Glove will preserve
ink; any essential oil answers equally
well. Leather may be kept free from
mould by the same substances. Thus,
Russian lether, which is perfumed with
the tar of birch, never becomes mouldy.
