COUGHS. = "BRowN's BRONCHIAL
TRocnEs are used with advantage to
alleviate coughs, sore throat, hoarseness
and bronchial affections. For thirty
years these Troches have been in use,
with annually increasing favor. They
are not new and untried, but, having
been tested by wide and constant use
for nearly an entire generation, they
have attained well-merited rank among
the few staple remedies of the age.
THE THROAT Browns Bronchial
'Troches" act directly on the organs of
the voice. They have an extraordinary
effect in all disorders of the throat and
larynx, restoring healthy tone when
relaxed, either from cold or over-exer-
ton of the voice, and produce clear
and distinct enunciation. Speakers and
singers find the Troches useful.
A CoUGH, cold, catarrh or sore throat
requires immediate attention, as neglect
oftentmes results in some incurable
lung disease. ''BRowN's BRONCHIAL

Christmas Tree.

Arrangements are being made to have
a Christmas tree at the Methodist
Church on Christmas Eve. Committees
have been appointed, and parents and
guardians who intend to have presents
on the tree for their children are re-
quested to consult with the Commit
tees. As there are several little ones,
whose parents can not afford to provide
them with presents, a committee has
been appointed to solicit subscriptions
to purchase presents for them, SO that
their hearts may be made glad at least
one day in the year. The arrangements
will be such that the Christmas tree
festivities will be ended in time for
those who participate to attend the
masquerade ball if so disposed.

A Prohibitory LIQUOR law.

We have been shown copy of bill
entitled can Act to regulate the sale
of intoxicating liquors" which we are
informed will be introduced at the next
session of the Legislature. 1t reads as
follows:
g Tie people Of tile State Of Nerala,
represented in Senate and Assembly do
eRoct as .foltoeOS.
SECTION L. On and after the first day
of July, A. ID. 1881, it shall be unlaw-
full for any person or persons as prlnci-
pal or agent to sell, give away or other
wise dispose OF any Intoxicating liquors
in this State, except druggists or apothe-
carries, and they shall not sell or other
wise dispose OF it, except on the pre-
scription of legally practicing physi-
Clans.
SEC. g 1t shall be unlawful for any
physician to give to any person pre-
scrlption for any kind of Intoxicating
liquors, except as u medicine and in due
course OF his practice.
SEC. 3. Any person violating any of
the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof i'll any conrt of
competent jurisdiction shall be fined in
any sum not less than fifty nor more
than five hundred dollars or imprison-
ed in the county Jail not less than thirty
days nor more than six months.
1t is not probable that Democratic
Assembly will enact any such stringent
law against the sale of intoxicating
liquors, and neither is it likely that a
Republican Senate, many of the mem
bers of which take theirs straight =
would favor it. The member who would
introduce and urge the passage OF such
a bill could not expect to be reelected.

The old uncle couldn't help smiling,
but he felt q twinge of pain in his most
fiery toe, and he said: "O-o-h! what
fool the boy must ber' and this made,
the niece feel SO badly that she went
up to her room and almost cried. q
But the cross old uncle kept thinking
it over, and two or three times he
smiled all by himself when he thought
nobody was looking. He thought it
over for weeks, and couldn't help imag-
lining little Dave sitting and smiling be-
cause somebody else was having fun
with the things he couldn't use. He
thought maybe that was the way to get
the most pleasure out of ones posses
sions. He had q mind to try ives,
he would. So he called the niece in
again and he said, "Now tell me, all
over, the story about the silly boy that
gave away his trousers. >, So, the
niece told it all over and the uncle
smiled again. When she had finished
he said:
"rve a great mind to try it,
"What, uncle?' - u
"Don't bother me with questions,
., Oh, my foot, o, ooh--my eyes.
Don't sit there like . statue; pet q ben,
and paper, and ink. I'll try it. Get the
paper quick" G<
So the niece, very much surprised,
brought the paper, and the uncle said,
''Now write," and she wrote, he die
tating, as follows: it N
To MEssRs. So AND So, Bankers:
GENTLEMEN-As have plenty Of money,
and can't enjoy it because I've no health, and
as ! hear that there are good many people who
they have no money, I authorize you to dis
tribute the sum Of $4,000 among such insti-
buttons as my niece shall name to you, in sums
to get little comfort in seeing others use the
money that can't use myself.
And then he signed it; the niece's
eyes were as big as some saucers, and
the millionaire said, 81 suppose you
think I'm fool-everybody will-but
if that boy gets some comfort out of
his gift why shouldn't out of mine?''
> The money was given, and then came
expressions of gratitude in many FORMS
Reports of charities, where his money
had been blest; poor women and men
coming to thank him for his bounty: he
found it made him forget his pains. He
became more tractable; he made an
effort and got out to see cornerstone
laid for Children's Home, to build
which he had furnished the money.
The exercise did him good. He tried
going out again. He became interested
in ever so many poor families, and his
health grew better. He even went to
see Dave, and they laughedtogether, and
chatted together like children; and
when the philanthropist, that's what
people call him now, went away, he
said,
If it hadn't been for t5those
trousers of yours I shouldn't have been
anything to-day but poor, miserable
old millionaire s......
And so Dave knew that, after all, in
Gods own way he had done some good;
and the good isn't all out of the story
yet. DaUe is getting nell. His father
says there is q new doctor who has
discovered some new method of treat
ment and that the paralysis in Dawes
legs is yielding, and strength coming
back, and, ..God willing, my boy will
be sound and well again in a year.

The Mission Of Scum.

Know nation by its soups would
not be bad test of civilization. The
savage stews one or two messes; the
French make a hundred soups. But
even in civilized countries there are
soups and soups. The old burlesque of
the homeopathic chicken soup-a tub
of water on which the shadow of q
chicken had fallen for three hours
seems only q mild exaggeration when
one sits down to q ..hasty plate'' at
some of the too-@sthetic tables. 1t
would certainly have strengthened some
that we have seen to have coaxed q
chicken to wade through it.
Now, economical soups are better
than none; but we have been panied to
observe that economical soups generally
have nothing to recommend them ex-
cept their cheapness; and man with q
good appetite and sound digestion, re-
alizing that his stomach doesn't hold
but three pints-more or less!- be-
grudges the room taken up by thin
soup. It is an imposition on the gas
trio juices to make them hunt around
liter nutriment with search warrant.
A soup made on purpose, whatever
its ingredients, strikes us as the only
worthy creation of that name. IF an
oyster soup, a few bivalves, tender and
sweet, don't hurt it. One likes to be
sure of his basis, in matters of belief
on soup as wellas on theology. The
flavor is well enough, SO far as it goes;
but substance Is q desirable element,
likewise.
So with . vegetable soup-best and
most satisfying Of all, il rightly made.
The usual mission of SOUPS is to furnish
a floating foundation for dinner, but
this sort is substantial enough for q
whole meal, If supplemented with q
hearty dessert. We haven't the least
idea how the soup is madc that puts q
heart so quickly under the ribs Of s.all-
gone-ness,o takes the chill from the
body and crossness out of the spirit.
We won't attempt to penetrate the
mystery far enough to learn even which
end to begin at; but the sum of our inn
pressions is that correct vegetable soup
has some vegetables and meat in it
not simply few chunks of potatoes and
turnips, with dash of canned toma-
toes, boiled together in water with a
-" OOAAO0 A0AO AAVAA OA40 SOt90ts3 w .
never did think much Of bone Juice,
anyway. tits too thin. There Is too
much Of q muchness about it.
But take a good generous piece Of
beef, with plenty of meat on the bones
and some marrow in them; select
enough fresh vegetables. for the family's
meal, and cut them into uniform small
pieces. so that they will cook evenly;
then boil them together. As to varie-
ties, we should think these would an-
swer: potatoes, carrots, onions, toma-
toes, turnips, caulihower, celery, rice
(f You like it) and some more onions.
Do not drown the vegetables in too
much water-just doat them. Serve
with the soup sweet homemade bread
about three days old, cut in thin slices,
-or fresh crackers, for those who don't
lean heavily ON 1.-THE staff. Pass your
plate two or three times, and say "No-

A THRIFTY German farmer in Kansas
wanted second wife. The ladies of
Kansas were unsatisfactory, SO he sent
to friend in Pittsburgh and asked him
in a brief, business-like letter to hunt
him up q wife in the Smoky City. His
friend happened to be acquainted with
q comely German maiden who was anx-
ious to be married, and pressed the suit
of the applicant in that quarter. He
sent q photograph of the lady
to the Kansas man, who wrote
back that he was entirely satisfied with
her appearance and to send her on by
next train. He inclosed fare for her.
The lady boarded the first train, and
arrived in Kansas several weeks ago.
She was met by the cxpectant farmer,
and in few hours they were joined in
wedlock. The sequel of the story is
that day or two since the Pittsburgh
friend, who was q driver for a gentle
man in this city, received a letter from
the Kansas man, stating that he was so
pleased with his wife that he desired
to reward, his friend, for securing tho
