The Duties Of MatrimOny

A wise old lady writes this: Better
than gold to man is IL cheerful wife.
But ne must do his part toward max
ing her cheerful. 1t is easy enough for
man to marry q happy woman. But
the bride cxpectant, when she thought
how happy she would be, never con
tcmpIatcd the picture Of husband
coming home cross as bear aud go-
ing t" bed without speaking to her; she
h"'i never thought Of the long even
'n@s when lie would not come at all,
or his bringing some one home to din
ncr without warning or preparation;
Of his awful profanity over 80 trifling
matter rs the gas bill. She had no
idea ~ fact, that there could be any-
thing but happiness in married life.
and she had determined to be happy
and to distribute her happiness to
those about her. 1t is often not h ar
fault if she does not succeed. Men, as
rule, do not exert themselves to
secure their wives happiness. They
know that it requires a constant and
great otinrt to possess property and
nc secure il its value in the midst of
commercial changes. The cheerful
ness, the happy, hopeful charact ter
winch every woman displays at the
beginning of marriage is not so easily
lest "s fortune; it requires but q
small share of TIL, attention, and vet
so often does not get that little share.
therefore q word TO the girls in this
connection is in order; beware of a
man who doesn't know enough about
chccr!u.nes5 to understand its value
in daily life. Such q man would i'm
prove tie first opportunity to grind
chcer:ulness out ofhis home, to fright
eli sun beam into shadow, and then
wonicr what is the matter. Such is
no better than no husband at all; and
when you want a husband go find
somebody elsc--some body that will
give you nj lca,t some chance to be
happy far into the life beyond the
honcy moon.

WHAT SMOKING DOES FOR BOYS
A certain doctor, with the large num-
Der of boys after the age of fifteen
whom he observed smoking, was led
to inquire into the effect the habit
had upon the general health. He
took for his purpose thirty eight
boys, aged from nine to fifteen years.
and carefully examined them. In
twenty.seyen Of them he discovered
Injurious traces of the habit. In
twenty-five there were various disor-
ders of the circulation and digestion
palpitation Of the heart and more or
less marked taste for strong drink.
In twelve was frequent bleeding at
the nose; ten had disturbed sleep,
and twelve had slight liberation OF
the mucous membrane Of the mouth
which disappeared on ceasing from
the use Of tobacco for somo days
The doctor treated them all for weak
ness, with little effect until the smo
king was discontinued, when health
and strength was restored. Now
tais is no ''old wifc's tale," as these
facts are given on the authority 6
the British Medical Journal.

THE END OF THE WORLD. "A lee
ture delivered at the Berlin UniVer-
sity some three months ago, by Prof
Dubois, Raymond, bears the ominous
title, "The End of Our World" and
says that every movement upon our
planet, with the exception Of the ebb
and flood, which are caused by the
solar heat. As however, the sun To-
ses every year portion of his ca
loric, science has lately como to the
conclusion that he will not exist rs
an cmitter of warmth longer than
for II 100000 years to come. Du-
ring that space Of time our earth
will get colder and colder in proper
ton as the solar heat shall diminish
The ice will advance from the poles
to the equator; the earth's popuia
ton will gradually recede before the
advancing glaciers; the sun will be
come less luminous, until he vii
present the appearance ola dark red
ball, and finally ice will annihilat'
all vitality on our planet.

NEW THIS DAY.
SYMPTOMS of a DiseasedLiver.

DAM in the right side, under the
| 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 1t
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 a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There Is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a 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.

MEXICAN LOVE.

now A MEXICAN GIRL REVENGEs HEX
SELF WHEN SHE is JILTED.
When a young Mexican woman
fails in love there is no nonsense
about it, no thought of the conse-
ouences, no merccnaly object IN
view. The world becomes to her
scene of enchantment, and the 1901
fher affections a seraphic being es-
pecially created for her worship
Her ASSERTION into its existence is
comnlete. She revels in the atmos-
phere of platonic love, as lady BIRD
If Paradise revels in the troplcal
ether, and as innocent, guideless and
bappy. To her life is a delicious
dream, and only one adored object
existing in all that beautiful dream,
ladd. She is eve in the Garden OF
Eden, and woe to the serpent "a Wo-
many who dares to intrude within
the sacred realms of that garden.
How subdued and saintIike is the
expression of her face; low dovelike
the cooling and The Wooing OF tins
happy, happy creature.
Who would think that beneath all
this the tigrcss turks, and is oniy
waiting to spring upon aomo hated
rival2 Let her appear and then 1he
enchantment is rutblessly broken,
the saintrcss DO longer exists. All
is changed. There is marvellous
transformation into the machetera,
who, maddened with jealousy, seeks
vengeance upon her who has desc
Grated Eden and robbed it of its go
ny by looking on The idol with long
ing eyes. The machetera has no
murder in her heart, no love OF shed
ding human blood, but with the finer
woman instinct she knows that II
she can only mar the beauty OF her
rival she has more thoroughly muir
dered her than if she were dead. Io
have her victim carry exposed scars
through life is the penalty that al
one must be paid. Watching her OPP
portunity, the machetera, springs
upon her victim, and, with uplilLel
weapon, strikes her upon the cheeks
or delicate, aristocratic looking
hands with the skill of q surgeon
who knows how for TO go without en-
dangering the life of his patient
This accomplished, the machetera
having satisfied her terrible jealousy
goes quietly home, while the wound
ed woman is the object of Che mos
tender and devoted care on the par
of her friends. The affair is no
considered disgraceful, because th
pure, unsclfsh love which caused
sancties the act OF The one and til
injuries of the other. Women in TIL
higher circles of life never induls
in silence, while those in the lowe
starta have such surroundings a
Danish both love and jealousy, e1
cept in the vulgar sense. The macl
eteras are of the middle classes
modest, refined and industrious gifl
and their worst fault is they love nc
wisely but too well.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
all the affections which arise from malari-
GUS, marsh, or miasnlatic poisons.
This is o 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
q remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui.
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of guinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unYarying has been its success
that ithas gained the reputation of benginfa
hble 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as q 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 iniiu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do notreturn 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,
EUFdCue, ho1hAdB Oh
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
Of the Stomach, all of which become intermit.
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
q preventive, it is Of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Aguc prevails, as
it stays the development Of the disease if taken
1.-THE first approach OF the premonitory syrnr'
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and fet
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of tho
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail

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 FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
