Deal Gently with the stomach.

Do not rack it with violent purgatives, or
permanently impair its tone with indigestible
drugs of any kind but, if your digestion is
impaired, your liver out of order, your frame
debilitaJed, or nervous system unstrung, use
that wholesome and agreeable alternative and
tonic, Hcstetter's Stomach Bitters, which will
certainly afford you the desired relief. None
of the ofieinRl remedies can compare with it
in restorative efficacy, and as a medicinal
stimulanti is by far the most desirable as
well as popular article of its class. Its basis,
the essential principle Of sound rye, is the
best possible agent for Mastering the action
of the botanic Ingredients which it holds in
solution, and those ingredients are the most
eficacious which chemistry extracts from the
vegetable kingdom, and medical science
annlies to the cure of disease.

Yalue Of Fnrn, Land.

1t is a worthy husbandman who says
1t, and not a "eity chap" and his timely
words, from the Rural Home, are re-
spectiully recommended to whom they
may concern: "Our farmers hear of
some farm beingEsold at $40 an acre, which
has been held at $50, and with long faces
wonder what we are coming to. They
seem to forget that good farming land
has stood the shrinkage of values better
after all, than most any other interest or
investment, and that we are having seed
time and harvest as of old, and much
abundant. 1t there is class of men in
this country to be envied, it is the we'll
TODD farmers, out of debt Can we find q
class of men so free from trouble and
business car6s2 Why is it that our
young men can not understand this in
stead OF rushing to the cities after clerk

We know n successful and practical
farmer near us who will tell you that he
keeps his boys at home contented and
happy by building up a pleasant home
and surrounding it with beauty, and
furnishing his boys with good horses and
carriages, and with a reasonable amount
OF spending money. and teaching them
as men and sons, and thereby keeping
them interested in his and their bus
iDess, showing his confidence in them by
trusting them to do business under his
supervision. We wish there were more
such families"

The Birds Of the Sea.

The birds that belong to the sea are
very curious, and their. number beyond
all calculation. Every naked rock or
surf beaten cliff that rises over the i'm
measurable deserts of ocean, is the refuge
of myriads of sea-birds; every coast,
from the poles to the equator, is covered
with their legions, and far from the land
their swarms hover over the solitudes of
the Deep" The pengUins are, perhaps,
OF all others, the birds that most widely
depart from the ordinary type of their
class. Their wings are adapted exclu-
sively for motion in water, and they
swim with such rapidity and perseyer-
ance, with the head alone out of water
that they frequently overtake fishes
in fair pursuit. They live in the
sea, and h&ve been met with q thousand
miles from the nearest known land.
The larger birds of this kind sometimes
weigh as much as eighty pounds, and in
their stomac5s have been found two
pounds weight of pebbles and large
stones, swallowed, no doubt, to assist
the gizzard to pound up the food sub
mitted to its action. The frigste bird.
the petrol, and the albatross, seem to
range through the air over the whole
extent of ocean from coast 70 coast of the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The pelican.
also, and the cormorant, are far mora
nearly dependent on water than land
and strictly belong to our present sub,
iect. They are all birds of powerful and
rapid fight, feeding on fishes, and rarelv
seen far inland, though often stretching
to great distances across wide expanses
of sea. Thanks to them, we have those
accumulated masses Of guano which help
to iertilize our lands. Some idea of the
extent OF these masses may be obtained
when it is stated that, on the island OF
Iquique alone. upwards of six millions
of cubic feet of guane have been removed
within the last thirty years, while in the
wear 1854, not less than half a million OF
tons were exported from the Chinchs
Islands.

A New Use for sunbeams.

A little six-year old Whitehall boy

some,b,nx 90 R,ne Ben. For.

The Rev. DR.. Day, in a recent sermon
at Plainfeld, N. J., told this simple
story: "In a town not far distant, a
few years since, two Christian young
men, brothers, were doing a prosperous
business, assisting many noble enter
prizes, and each living in a beautiful
home. A combination of disasters sud
denly rendered them insolvent. What
did they do? They did not consult the
law to see how much of their property
might be kept from the creditors, but at
once surrendered to them houses, facto-
ries. assets, all and then promised, if
possible, the balance yet should be paid
to each creditor in full. Resuming
business, poor in means, but strong ia
character, living in cottages in which
their noble wives did the housework,
until, by economy and industry, the last
dollar of the old Indebtedness was paid,
with interest. The day on which this
was completed the bells of the churches
were rung in honor, and the whole town
Joined in the expression of grateful joy
q triumph of character such as the bells
of any church might well celebrate, and
any community delight to honor"

Iropeleasnesa OF OapOaIlion to God.

Obi what thought that is, that every
life that sets itself against the Lord is
futile life, that it comes to nothing at
last, that none hardens himself against
God and prospersI It is true on the
widest scale. It is true on the narrowest.
It is true about all those tempests that
have risen up against Gods church and
Christ's gospel, like the "waves of the
sea foaming out their own shame" and
never shaking the great rock that they
break against. And it is true about all
goddess lives; about every man who
carries on his work, except in loving
obedience to his Father in Heaven.
There is one power in the world, and
none else. When all is played out, and
accounts are set right at the end, you will
! find that the power that seemed to be
strong, if it stood against God, was weak
as water and has done nothing, and is
| nothingl Do not waste your lives in q
work that is self-condemned to be hope
less Rather ally yourselves with the
| tendencies of Gods universe, and do the
thing which will last forever, and live
the life that has hope of fruit that shall
remain. Submit yourselves to God
Love Christ! Do His will Put your
| faith in the Savior to deliver you from
your sins; and when the wild tossing of
that great ocean of ungodly power and
rebellious opposition is all hushed down
into dead silence, you and your work will
last and live hard by the stable Throne
of God.-- Alexander MacLaren.

Take shin-bone of beef, put it into a

when it boils put in one can of tomatoes,
one large carrot and one small turnip,
grated, one onion, cut in thin slices, one
half teacupful Of rice and little parsley
cut fine. Cover the pot and let it boil
slowly fer three hours. The meat can
then be taken out, and leave a thick
soup, or strain it and put in some
vermicelli for thin soup. The thick is

PaIut Cheaper Than Decay.


An observing New Jersey farmer
writes:
] am surprised at the want of care in
painting country buildings everywhere.
For several years have painted all my
single aud tin roofs, cutters and valleys
OF house, barn, ice-bouse, gas-house,
stable, etc, with Princes metallic paint,
and find 1t saves everything in perfect
order, free from decay. The roofs are
cleaner than implanted ones the water
runs OF more quickly, and get moro OF
it, as there is no absorption in the shin
giles. ] have used the same paint in
putting down a new stable floor, painting
every piece of wood, top, bottom and
edges. Even the planks and stats my
horses stand on are all painted. All
my furnace pipes of tin, front
of furnace, water-pipes, garden
tOols, piows, harrows, ladders, baskets,
pals, scuttles, and nearly everything on
the place gets q dash of this paint. It
makes everything look neat and tidy,
and in durability they will last ten times.
Samuel Higgins, OF Springfield, n. j.,
had all his farm buildings painted ten
years ago with the Averill chemical paint,
and it Is bright and in good order to-day.
Build,n painted with Princes paint
should get good coat each five years. /
have used it with equal success In paint
my pond fiume, the plank floor over the
tank, and all benches in the greenhouse
where water comes in contact, and all are
equally pre-, erved. The decay without
paint will exceed the cost of painting
many times.

value Of Corn rorKxport.

In a recent speech made in England,
Mr.. GARD said Indian corn, which ranks
among cereal grains, next to wheat. in
imports was almost unknown in Great
Britain before the potato famine of 1916
A, and was not liked. In 1877, $50, 900
tons we're sent to Ireland, but by 1857
the imports had diminished to one
quarter of that amount. In 1867 it was
hardly more popular, but the bad harvest
of that year brought it into greater re-
quest. 1t rose still further in 1875, after
the bad harvest that year; and in 1876,
with another deficient harvest it doubled
at ones the highest previous importation.
It is the cheapest article of food in the
market, being at present little more
than halt the price of wheat per pound,
and its introduction in such large quaint
ties greatly medifies the pressure which
would otherwise be felt after deficient
harvesJs in that country. In this con
nection, as we have hitherto remarked.
the failure of the turnip crop in England
ought 10 add largely to CUR sales in
Indian corn there.

left his daughter to open the shop, went
to the great chapel, and hid himself in
the corner of the upper gallery, where he
sat unseen, but hearing every word.
What was his astonishment when pre-
sently the preacher called out, All, sim
ner, SHINING by proxy is Just as bad as
SHINING yourself It's no use any of you
coming here yourselves, and at the same
time leaving your daughter to keep
shop" The terrified shoemaker was now
certain, that Gods voice had spoken to
him. The almighty was following him,
and would not let him escape. That
second warning led him to confess and
forsake his sins.
In both these instances, where the
preachers words proved 80 aptly de-
scriptiye, the aptness was entirely acct
dental. Mr.. Spurgeon knew nothing
of the shoemaker and had no idea he
was making so personal in applica-
ton: but his vivid and direct way OF
putting things made it seem so, and in
preaching against g common sin. natural
" enough out of q thousand facts and
examples, there happened to be one
which his language literally fitted.
A city missionary in the west of Lon
don heard the above story from the shoe
maker himself, and told it 70 hr. Spur
geon. The occasion and circumstances
of his conviction and conversion seemed
miraculous to the humble workman

doubt that the singular accuracy of the
hit he had made was by direction OF the
Holy Spirit pointing his words. It il
