An Interesting Plant,

From the San Francisco Chronicle August ID.
The Victoria Regina. or Queen Lilly,
Is now developing at the Park Con-
servatory. The plant is remarkable for
the great size that it attains. No other
specimen of this plant is known to ex-
list IN the United States, and this is the
first attempt to propagate this species
of water lily in California. A number
of its great leaves have reached their
full size, the largest being about seven
feet IN diameter. Although nice ad-
lustment of the temperature of the water
and air is necessary to bring the lily to
perfection, yet even under the most
favorable conditions which could be
produced artificially, the blossom often
fails to make its appearance. On this
account the stages ofgrowth which pre-
cede and accompany the Towering have
been watched with keen interest by
amateur botanists for the slightest in
dication of poisoning. In the midst
of these hopes and fears a colossal bud,
about the size of small head of cab
bage made its appearance under the
water day or two ago, and is growing
rapidly. The exact time of its attain
ing maturity is not known, but it will
probably be in full bloom in three or
four days. The flower opens only at
night, and begins to unfold its petals
about 9 O'Clock IN the evening, to remain
in bloom until sunrise. The Park Com
missioners announce that when the
flower is in full bloom the park will be
kept open in the evening, and that por-
ton of the conservatory containing the
lily will be illuminated and ample tacil-
tiles provided for the examination of
this colossal flower. Two leaves of the
Queen Lily will be placed on exhibition
at the Mechanics Fair, and will require
for their transportation frame eight
feet wide and sixteen feet long.

had happened something he never
knew, until a year or so after, when
Nellie Lacy was Dr.. Jasper's wife; and
then by some mysterious means, he
learned how it had all happened. And
he knew he was deserving of his received
deserts.

FOUR-LEAF CLOVER.
BY JENNIE E. DOVE.

Down among the orchard grass,
A happy careless rover,
Pretty little Margery
Goes hunting four-leaf Clover
Timid little Margery
Gives Der searching over.
Startled by shadow
Darkenlng the clover.
Kneeling down beside her,
Blossoms arching over.
Martin in the orchard grass,
Goes hunting four-1eaf clover.
Gazing in each others eyes,
Searching is ali over;
There's no longer any need
For hunting four-leaf clover.

Our Drink Bill.

There were 3421 barrels of beer manu-
factured in Ironton the past year. AT
323 gallons to the barrel, this would make
Ill, 1S2 gallons. There are about Is
glasses in gallon, so we have the
years make of beer in this town, sos,
730 glasses, or 200 glasses to every man
woman and child. At cents, glass
the total proceeds would foot up $S3, ,436,
so. Of course, large proportion of the
beer product was exported, but what has
been brought from Cincinnati by retailers
here, keeps the amount consumed nearly
as great as we have stated. 1t is a fail
conclusion from our figures that in this
town at least $4,000 passes over the
counter every year for beer.
The traffic in distilled spirits is nearly
as large. 1t is safe to place the amount
that is spent for drinks of whisky at $5O,
900 for the year.
So here we have drink disbursement
of 1926, 900 in town of 5000 inhabitants.
The money thus spent would keep the
people supplied with bread and meat and
pay the school tax beside. All of which
occurs in these very hard times.-[Ir Iron

,vnntoms of q Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l. of the ribs, increases on pressure;
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 fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hay-
ing left undone something 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
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

lFOStoria Review i

1t does not require very old man to
remember when, through American di-
plomacy, the previously closed ports of
the Chinese Empire were opened to the
commerce of the world. And it will be
equally well remembered how the con-
summation was heralded forth as the
grandest achievement of modern civiliza-
tion, and with what selfsatisfed gratifi-
cation the press on this side of the water
referred to the important part played
therein by American influence and di-
plomacy. If all we then said of this
grand achievement be true (and who
doubts it? what shall be said of the
recent act of the American House of
Representatives for the suppression of
Chinese emigration to our shores Some
how we had imbibed the idea from some
source that this glorious land of ours
was to be an asylum for the oppressed
of all nations" And in the light of this
heaven-born sentiment, which our flag
has symbolized for century, how mex
cusably narrow and selfish is this sweep
ing Introduction against the swarming
millions of friendly nation-a nation
just emerging from barbarism, and which
has looked-and is still looking-to the
great Republic of the new world as her
pattern in the uncertain steps she is
taking toward new civilization. A
proclamation by the present Chinese
Emperor closing the ports of the "Flow-
cry Kingdom" against Americans would
almost be regarded as a cGsus beli, and
would certainly be regarded as disgrace
to the ruler who penned it. Does the
laws of national comfy and christian civ
ilization recognize two rules of conduct
one for enlighted America and another
for benighted China 1t will scarcely be
claimed. Upon what principle of justice
or national comfy, then, is this legisla-
ton based? None. 1t is simply borrow
ing from the Chinese barbarism of the
past that unciyilized spirit of exclusive
ness which it was the boast of American
diplomacy to have overcome few years
ago.

OLD,
TRIED,
AND
TRUE.
People are getting acquanted-and those who
are not ought to be-with the wonderful merits Of
that great American Remedy, the
MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri-
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the naladies of her chill
dren. Its fame has been spreading for s. years,
until now it encircles the habitable globe.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment is matchless
remedy for all external ailments of man and beast
To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable.
A single bottle often saves human life or re-
stores the usefulness of excellent horse, OK,
COW, sheep.
1t cures foot-rot, hoofail, hollow horn, grub,
screw-worm shoulder-rot, mango the bites and
stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
1t cures every external trouble of horses, such
as lameness, scratches, swinny sprains, founder,
wind gall ring bone, &C. etc.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest
cure in the world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence of u physician, such as
burns, scalds, sprans, cuts, etc, and for rheuma-
tisnl, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
1t is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it
penetrates the muscle to the bone, and singh
application is generally sufficient to cure.
Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three
sizes of bottles the larger being proportion
ately much the cheapest. Sold everywhere.

My Lady Love.
BY MISS NARY B. FERRY.

She smiles, the earth grows brighter,
The sunbeams clearer fall
She blushes, and the splendor
Soft fushes over all.
She signs, and through the forest
The whispering wind makes moan
She weeps, the night is dreary,
Starless and chill and lone.
She sleeps, and dreaming lilies
Float on the waters breast; -f-.
She wakes, and happy songsters
Rise singing from their rest.
She loves, the sky grows tender,
The roses flush and glow;
My happy heart alone can hear
The whisper sweet and low.

Ayers Ague Cure,


all the affections which arise from malari-
Gus, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yetdiscovered for the
cure of Intermttents is, that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years i'll the treatment OF these distressing
disorders and SO unvarying has been its success
that thas gained the reputation of being mfal-
lible. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, SO that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all of which become nternlt-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
a preventive, it is of immense service i'll those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
onthe first approach ofthe prcmonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of The
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from ioFPit'.ty,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates Til. organ
into healthy activity, and produces many ,lila'E-
able cures where other medicines fail.
