A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with it's sshd- den changes of temperature, rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled
 in single day,-it isgno wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglect ed colds, half the deaths resulting di- rectly from this cause. A bottle of
 Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre- vent serious sickness, d large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Con- sumption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, it's success is sim ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German, Syiup is now sold in every town and village on this conti- nent. Sample bettles for trial, l0c. regular size 75c. For sale by J. NJ. Harkey & Rro. S M

japanese Ladies Bathing in Public.

As we were about to leave, lady
OF elegant attire, and attended by a
female servant bearing her toilet ap-
paratus, and another with other luxu-
ries of the bath, entered. Our new
arrival, after giving some directions,
with the assistance of her maid began
to arrange herself for the bath. With
her maid she neatly folded and laid on
cloth in clean place each particle
of her apparel as it was removed.
First the silken robe, then the flowing,
gown-like robe of purple, then the
neither garments of white, until we
reached natures own. AS gently as
zephyr playing upon the foliage of the
trees she stepped along towards the
water. Her beautifully rounded form
and poetry of motion would have been
worthy OF the sculptor's chisel. A
beautifully rounded ankle and pretty
foot, vaguely visible beneath The LAM
mated folds of dozen skirts, would
set the whole community agog at
home; while a whole form, nude as
nature and more beautiful than an an
gel, would not so much as attract
passing glance in Japan Ex.

Remarkable Intelligence of a Colt.


Martin Hayner, of Brunswick. is
the proud possessor of a fine pair Of
colts. One day last week they were
pasturing on his farm, through which
a ditch had recently been dug, quite a
distance from the house. One of the
animals fell into the ditch, in some
way striking upon it's back, with its
feet helplessly paving in the air, and
utterly unable to regain its eluilibri-
um. The other colt, discovering the
predicament of its mate, commenced
running from the house to the ditch,
making more than half dozen trips
before Mr.. Hayner's attention was
specially attracted. He finally en-
tered the inclosure where his colt was
whinnering, when it seized hold of his
coat and pulled in the direction of its
mate. Mr.. Hayner found his other
colt in the position stated, and with
difficulty rescued it. Such equine in
telligencc is certainly remarkable, and
worthy of the recognition we have ac.
corded it.-[Troy Times.

Matrimony in Cyprus.

Their marriage customs are similar
to those practiced generally by the
Turks. A vile, we are told, may de.
maid divorce if her husband does
not give her enough 10 eat, refuses her
money to go to the bath with, or ab-
scnts himself from her. Female slaves
are only allowed to claim separation
on the ground of deprivation of the
commons necessaries of life. The wo-
men, Mariti narrates, arc guarded
with every possible strictness before
marriage. Their lovers oftep indulge
in all kinds of extravagances, such as
passing twenty times day before
their windows, and in order 10 attract
their attention and excite their sym.
pathy, they publicly wound themselves
with the poignard they carry as to-
ken Of tleir devotion.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.

4
A correspondent of the Philadel
phia Times tells curious story about
the revenge inflicted on General
Meade during. the war by some news
paper correspondents. Just before
one of Meads contemplated move
ments the correspondent of Philadel
phla newspaper sent to it dispatch
describing the Generals plan with. an
injunction not to use the intelligence
until he telegraphed "afI right" This
last part of tho dispatch failed to
reach the newspaper Office, and the
Generals plan was published before
it was executed. General Meade was
very angry, and, refusing to accept
the correspondents excuse, ordered
him to be marched back and forth
within the lines bearing placard an.
nouncing that he was suffering pun.
lshment for giving information to the
enemy. As soon as he was released
he hastened to Washington, and, lay
ing his grievance before the cores
pondents in Newspaper Row, they
met and passed resolution as fol-
lows: General Meades name shall
never be mentioned again in dispatches
by any newspaper correspondent, ex-
ccpt in case of defeat. All the sue.
cesses OF the army he commands shall
be credited to General Grant, TheI
Times correspondent says that he has
always thought that this resolution
made General Grant President. |
Whether this story is true or false. it |
illustrates the value of newspaper
mention in giving public men repu-
alton. If all the leading newspapers
should agree 10 keep the names and
peeches of Butler and Kearney out of
heir columns, even these demagogues
would soon fade away from public at
but then they would not be
uch objects of contempt as they now
