Symptoms of a DiseasedLiv

Symptoms of DiseasedLi
DAIN in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

PETrR COOPER Is n conspicuous contradic-
tion of the current idea that success depends
on the steady pursuit of one calling, or longcv-
ity on robust health. Few men who have at
tanned fortune have been engaged in moreya-
rieties Of business. His father who had been
n Lieutenant in the war of the Revolution,
(his maternal grandfather also took part in
the struggle and exhausted his property in its
sustainment) set up hat mandatory, after
the independence of the colonies had been
gained. and failed in the enterprise Peter, u
small boy, rendered such assistance as he
could, which was not much, as he was puny
and ailing from birth. Anxious as he was
for instruction. his fathers means were 80
straitened that he could not attend school
more than half of each day for a single year,
and beyond this he has never had any regu-
lar education. At II he served an appren-
ticeship at coach-making, and acquitted him
self so well that his employer wished to set him
up in business, which Peter declined He
followed the trade Tor a while, however, and
then made patent machines for shearing cloth,
which was profitable until the close of the
war of 1912 destroyed the demand. Next he
made cabinet ware: then became grocer,
and did several other things. turning his at
tention at length to the manufacture of glue
and isinglass, to which, naturally enough, he
has stuck to this day. He has also been

Upon our oftest White Mountain peak
We sat, nor cared TO listen or to speak
To one another, for the silence there
Was eloquent with Gods presence. Not sound
Uttered the winds in their unhindered sweep
Above us through the heavens. The gulf profound
Below us seethed with mists, sullen deep.
From thawless ice-cAves Of a vast rayine
Rolled sheeted clouds across the lands unseen.
How far away seemed all that we had known
In homely levels Of the earth beneath,
Where still our thoughts weHt wandering-"TurI
thee" Blown
Apart before u.s. dissoying wreath
OF cloud framed in picture on the air:
The fair, long SacO valley, whence we came;
The hills and lakes Of ossipee; and there
Glimmers the sea! Some pleasant, well known name
With every break to memory hastens back:
Monaduock- k-Winnepesaukee-Merri
On widening visias brcadef riffs unfold:
Far of into the waters of Champlan
Great sunset SUBMITS dip their flaming gold
There winds the dim Connecticut, vein
OF silver on aerial green; and here,
The upland street Of rural Bethlehem;
And there, the roofs OF Bethel. AEure-clear
Shimmers the Androscoggin; like gem
Umbagog glisiens; and KStahdin CLEANS
Uncertain as mountain seen in dreams.
Our own familiar world not yet half known,
Nor loved enough in tihts Of Paradise
Lies there before us, now so lovely grown,
We wonder what strange film was on our eyes
Ere we climbed hither. But again the cloud,
Descending, shuts the beauteous vision out;
Between us the abysses spread their shroud:
We are to earth, as earth to us, doubt.
Dear home folk, skyward seeking us, can see
No crest or orag where pilgrim feet may be-
Who whispered unto us OF life and death
As silence closed upon our hearts once moreT
On heights where angels sit, perhaps breath
May clear the separating CULTS door
May open sometime betwiXt earth and heaven,
And life's most haunting mystery be shown
A fog-drift Of the mind, scattered and driven
Before the winds Of God no vague unknown
Deaths dreaded path-Only curtained stair;
And heaven but earth raised into purer air.

PERn.s OF THE TELEPHONE. The telephone
may prove dangerous matter for some folks.
One of our leading merchants, whose home is
not a thousand miles from Brooklyn, and
who occasionally luxuriates in his leisure
hours in mechanical and philosophical exper-
iments, put up the other day an excellent
telephone at his residence, connecting the
parlor with the rear of the house. On a GER
tain evening, while he was at work at one
end of the instrument, there were a couple of
young bucks being entertained in the parlor
by the young ladies of the family, and one of
them, whose wish may have been father to
the thought, spoke-just for the fun of the
thing, of course-at the instrument. The
quiet old gentleman received at his end of the
wire this complimentary message; "Old Mr..
Watkins, isn't it most time you went to bed 2"
The young sauce-box in the parlor nearly
jumped from the floor at the reply that came
back; YES, Sir and quite time y0u rent

BIG SNAKEs II VERMONT. The St. Adams
Messenger says Some six years ago a
menagerie of wild animals came through
Richmond, and broke down bridge about a
mile east of the village. At the time numer-
GUS reports were afloat that they had killed
some of their large snakes and some had got
away. Within year or two the boys have
brought reports of seeing very large snakes
in the vicinity of the accident. A few days
ago William Fields, truthful, sober man,
was on the farm of Jonathan Fay, close by
the railroad, and was startled by seeing two
large snakes of the color of the boa-constrict-
ors He says they were full six feet long,
and when they saw him they raised their
heads and opened their mouthsa and darted out
their tongues. He says they were as large as
his arm. Mr. Fields did not stop to interview
them. DIR. Bromley, a few days ago, when
driving through the Jonathan Fay farm,
thought he saw a rail across the road. This
proved to be huge snake which moved out
of the road. The Doctor thinks he was 10 feet
long. Mr.. Fay's men have found a snake
skin some 10 or II feet long, supposed to be
shed by monster snake. Making all due al
lowances necessary for exaggeration, it is
quite certain that there are two monster rep
tiles, and probably three-as the skin found
and the one seen by the Doctor correspond.

AQUEER STORY comes from the West, whence
so many queer stories come. The wife of n mer-
chant in San Francisco, finding some six
months ago, that the climate of the Pacific
coast did not agree with her, as her lungs
were rather delicate, decided to visit her rea-
tives in Chicago to see if the change would
not benefit her. She went overland, her hus-
band remaining in California because he was
unable to leave his business. For two months
after her arrival she wrote regularly and af-
fectionately, declaring that her health was
steadily improving, and that she hoped to
ioin him soon. For the next three months
her letters steadily decreased, both in fire.

complained of the alteration in her feelings,
which she denied in words and proved by be-

out for Chicago to ascertain the cause of her
revolution, and reaching his destination went
to the hotel where she was staying, went di-
rectly to her room, entered, found her talking
pleasantly to a man, who appeared to be quite
at home. but whom he had never seen before.

A DoTHEGmLs HALL N ENGLAND. London
was recently startled by revelations concern
ing n young ladies school near that city which
almost rvaed Dickens description of Dothe-
boys Hall. Last December, says newspa-
per correspondent there appeared in the
press of London an attractive prospectus of Il
Ladies' College" near Sunbury, located in a
large house delightfully."- situated, with exten-
sive grounds, six resident governesses, an eff
ficient staff of masters, bountiful table and
numerous other advantages, and the pupils
were TO be housed fed and educated for thir-
ty to forty guineas per year. The bait took
and the school was quickly filed, opening in
February. On arrival, the girls were rather
staggered at the barren aspect of things both
within and without the mansion but excuses
as to the tenancy being new, and the place
therefore yet a little unfinished, were proHer-
ed and unsuspectingly accepted. The term
fees had all been paid in advance neverthe-
less the "lady principal very speedily began
to borrow from her pupils sums of money,
large or small, whichever she could get. That
looked queer but what looked considerably
aueerer was the fact that when meal time
came the diet unlimited" was conspicuous
only by its all but total absence. Sometimes
dinner was at ., sometimes 4, ., G, or O'Clock,
sometimes not till next day. When it did
come it was never anything better than bone
serapings and potato-squash. The other meals
were equally delusive. The ''six resident
goyeTnesses" and the efficient staff of mas
