The latest from the seat of war,
which is dated London. this morning,
at 6 o'clock, is as follows: Reports
were current last night that England
had agreed to Withdraw her feet to
Besika bay if Russia would withdraw
her army to Adrianople. but that the
formers action was not to be simulta-
ueors with the retirement of the Rus
sian army, but to follow it. These
reports may have some truth in them,
inasmnch as Germany has been en-
gagged in negotiating for such agree-
ment between Englsud and Russia.
but it is undoubtedly at least prema-
turc to saw that all conditions of the
reported Withdrawals have been salts
factorily settled. The opinion gains
ground here that there will be no war
between England and Russia. In
spite of all warlike rumcrs it would
seem impossible that England can in
tend war. If it comes. however, it
is believed that it will be brought
about within the next month or prob.
ably before the Resembling of par.
Lament. We are daily informed by
prominent members of conservative
clubs and by other leading politicians
that the English government consider
war inevitable during the next few
months and that their only desire is to
get everything ready for a powerful
offensive movement against Russia
without precipitating the conflict at
once. Every day of delay GEES Rus.
STA more embarrassed, while England
is steadily adding to her strength. On
the other hand the Liberals insist that
there has not yet been shown any
good reason for war and therefore tina,
the government will not dare to bring
it on. 1t may be taken for granted
that the truth between these two
views is that while the government
hope to avoid war they are not at all
certain that it can be long avoided,
and preparations for it therefore con
tinue. The probabilities are 90 evenly
balanced that very slight cause may
determine the question either way.

"Then you don't want clothes

NO I DON'T" replied the woman.
Times are too hard to think about it.
Here it is the middle O winter, and me
with my summer hat yet. I think see
myself buying a clothes-wringer, and
Not much"
"But I can sell you one on weekly
payments put in the man. "Give it
to you at the wholesale price, and let
you pay dollar week on it. In that
way you wouldn't feel, it, and before
you knew it, you'd have it all paid for,
and be getting the use of it all the time.
Amt that fair enough?''
';Im not finding any fault with your
TERMS" said the woman, "But do |
want to hide all that money where it
can't be seen? A clothes-wringer
wouldn't look well propped up in a front
window, would it? Six dollars is right
smart O money, and could get hat
with it that would just more'n make the
plasterer's wife wish she'd stayed in the
old country"
"But," urged the man persuasively,
think of the hard work it would save
you, and besides it's dirt-cheap at the
price. No twistin' your fingers out of
joint if you have one O them. Shall
we call it trader"
Not if I know myself" returned
the woman. "Why, sir, with six dollars
[ could almost get cloak that would

of alpaca that could be sent home to
me for about that figure, that would

The mortuary statistics of the whole civil
ized world show that about one-ffth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears
a greater ratio to the whole number than
that of any other three diseases together.
Moreover, investigation proves that this
ratio is steadily increasing. Its increasing
prevalence has led to the popu' ar be ief that
consumption is incurable. Every year hun
dreds of these sufferers seek, in the sunny
retreats of florida or the dry atmosphere of
Colorado, for health-and find only a grave.
The influence of the atmosphere-the only
remedial agent that either Florida or Colo
RADIO can afford the consumptive-is at best
only pdllidtire. The cure of consumption de-
pends upon two essential conditions: 1st,
the arrest of the abnormal breaking down of
the tissues, which prevents emaciation, and
I'd, the restoration of healthy nutrition, in
order to stop the formation of tuberculous
matter. Fulfill these conditions and con-
sumption is as durable as fever. To fuli |
these conditions the required remedy must
increase the appetite, favor the assimilation
of food. and enrich the blood, thus retarding
the development OF tuberc es. TO accom-
p ish this, a more powerful Alternative than
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
never been discovered. At the same time,
it soothes the irritation of the nervous sys-
tenn produced by violent coughing, which in
its turn so often leads to more serious re-
suits. The use of "expectorants in con-
sumption is absolutely suicidal. For while
removing the tubercles already formed, they
produce yet more serious results by inham-
ing and destroying the sound and healthy
tissues. Consumption requires remedy
that will soothe while it relieves; harsh
medicines but add fuel to the flame that a :
ready threatens to consume the system. The
Golden Medical Discovery flu fills these con-
ditions, and has been pronounced the best
remedy yet discovered to allay and arrest
consumptiOn.

DOMESTIC RECEIPTS.

Observation-Disclosures of EPSON salts
and senna are often taken as relaxatives,
or opening medicines. It is we'll
known fact that teaspoonful of salts in
tumbler of cold water, if drank before
breakfast, is as effectual dose as the
usual ounce. SIENNA, too, if STEPPED in
cold water, is equally efficacious, and
free from the nauseous bitter taste
which it has when infused in boiling
water.
Cure for Diarrhea.-Take Indian
corn. roast and ground in the manner
of coffee, or coarse meal Drowned, and
boil it in sufficient quantity of water to
produce strong liquid, like coffee, and
drink teacupful warm, two or three
times day. One days practice, it is
said, will ordinarily effect cure.
A Receipt for the Nettle-Rash.-
best treatment for the nettle-rash is to
dislodge the offending matter by an
emetic of ipecacuanha, eighteen grains,
or one scruple of the powder for an
adult and afterward brisk aperient
should be taken. The warm bath often
gives relief.
A Liniment for a Bruise.-Mix one
pennyweight of each of the following,
and rub upon the bruise every evening
Spirits of wine, laudanum, camphor,
opodeldoc, sal. ammonia, and turpentine.

Birds and Human Nature.

John Burroughs Scrbner for January.1
What is that legend of Mrs. Piatt's
poem about the bird in the brain?
Birds are perhaps the most human of
creatures, and | should not be surprised
if told we all carry more or less of them
in our hearts and brains. have seen
the hawk looking out of the human face
MANY a time, and think l have seen
the eagle; credit those who say they
have seen the owl. Are not the buz-
yards and unclean birds terribly sugges-
tive? The song-birds were surely all
brooded and Matched in the human
heart. They are typical of its highest
aspirations, and nearly the whole gamut
of human passion and emotion is ex-
pressed more or less fully in their varied
songs. Among our own birds, there is
the song of the hermit-thrush for de-
voutness and religious serenity, that of
the wood-thrush for the musing, melo-
dious thoughts of twilight, the song
sparrow's for simple faith and trust, the
bobolirk's for hilarity and glee, the
mourning doves for hopeless sorrow,
the vireo's for all-day and everyday con-
tentment and the nocturn of the mock
ing-bird for love- Then there are the
plaintive singers, the soaring, ecstatic
singers, the confident singers. the gush-
ing and voluble singers. The note of
the pewee is human sigh, the piping of
the chickadee unspeakable tenderness
and fidelity. There is pride in the song
of the tanager, and vanity in that of the
cat-bird. There is something distinctly
human about the robin; his is the note of
boyhood. have thoughts that follow the
migrating fowls northward and south
ward, and that go with the sea-birds into
the desert of the ocean, lonely and tire
less as they. | sympathize with the
watchful crow perched yonder on that
tree, or walking about the fields. l

of the wild gander; his comrade in my
