DR.. SCHESCK:
Dear Sir-My wife was troubled with Lung
Disease, attended with weakness and pros.
tration. I bad doctors in New Castle and
Hagerstown attending her, but their skill
was Of no avail. She did not grow any bet
ter under their care. She became so low
that there seemed TO be no hope for her re-
covery. then came across one OF your
pamphlets, and after reading OF the many
cures made by your medicines, concluded
to give them . trial. So bought one bottle
each Of your Pulmonic Syrup" and "Sea-
weed Tonic. y which she used, and showed
such 4 marked improvement that got more
OF the medicines. After using half dozen
bottles she became quite well and strong
again. MY wife has great faith in your med
Icincs, and she thinks there Is nothing bet
ter in the world. We keep them always in
the house.
Yours truly, ]. Il. MILLER.
My wife's mother was seized with bleed
ing Of the lungs. She also used your Pull
monte Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, and, as in
my wife's ease, the Pulmonic Syrup healed
her lungs, and she found the Sesweed Tonic
TO be possessed of wonderful strengthening
properties. j. B. MILLER

The PaMn Shop In China.

China knows all about the pawn shop,
and the uses OF that dubious establish
nent. But their monetary transactions
are conducted in manner much more
favorable to the boTower--that is, the
puhic-than among ourselves. Not
only is the interest charged less than
one-half that paid here, but the care
taken in storing the articles pledged is
much greater Indeed it is the usual
practice for people to send their winter
clothes to the pawn shop on the appear
ance of spring, and their summer gar
ments when the cold north winds begin
to blow. They are in the habit of doing
this, not because they stand in need of
money-far from it; they may be at the
moment at the height of aflluence-but
simply because tho pawn shops afford
the safest most convenient and generally
the best wardrobe they can procure. Not
only do they obtain the advantages of
this depository without payment of rent,
but they have also the use of a certain
amount of money, which, as rule, they
are able to lay out at considerable higher
interest than that which they have to
allow to the pawn broker. That the
arrangement does not tend to the undue
advantage of class of Insurers, but real
ly benefits The community, is proved by
the result; for although China has been
called the land of pawn broking, there
are fewer unredeemod pledges there than
in any other country. Thus the impe-
cunious Chinese have all the advantages
advantages attaching 10 a pawn-shop,
with none of the Inconvenience which
people in other lands endure.

Life Within the Arctic Circle.

The traveller is surprised to meet sc
many comfortable farms with large
dwelling houses, which, with the barn
and cow-house, are the three prominent
buildings. There are several other
houses besides, such as sheds, store
houses, blacksmith shops, etc In the
yard, which is generally enclosed by the
houses on three sides, is the old-fash
toned we'll with its sweep, bucket at
one end and stone at the other. From
the well a trough communicates with the
building where the cows are kept. The
structure is peculiar. The ceiling is low,
the windows very small, giving but little
light the place is entirely fioored. and
pens built on each side; along these
gutter gathers all the manure, which is
preserved with great care. The cattle
do not lie on straw or hay. At one end
of the room is large piece of masonry,
encaslng an iron pot three or four feet III
diameter and three feet deep, used for
cooking food for the cattle. This food is
generally coarse marsh grass, mixed
with the dust coming from the threshlne
OF the grain. The pot is also used AZ
the bathing and washing tub. Sheep,
when numerous, have house to them
selves; if not, they are penned in cor
ner. There is a separate stable for the
horse. The dwelling, with few excep
tions, consist of single story, usually
containing two rooms, one on each side.
One Is used as bakery and kitchen, and
also as sleeplng-room at one corner is
the fireplace, strange structure, six OF
eight feet square, made of solid flat
slabs OF stone, generally plsstered over.
Wood Is placed in these ovens, and.
when it is consumed and only charcoal
remains, sliding iron trap-door pre-
vents tle heat from escaping, warming
the walls. The heat thus produced for
the flrst few hours Is very great; often
the room is made unbearable to those
who are not accustomed to such an at
mosphere, which is often retained fol
two or three days. In one section q the
structure there is an open fireplace used
for cooking. Beds are placed along the
walls, In number according to the size

different widths, according to the rs.
quirements. They are filled with hay
or straw, furnished with home made
blankets or sheepskins, and sometimes
with elder down covers and pillows. In
the morning the box is drawn in, and,
when covered with board, answers fol
a sofa, upon which people rest during
the day. The whole family, including
servants, males and females, sleep ir

The Right Time to Kiss.

An observant and evidently discrimin-
ating young reader of the Times writes
to say that he has read with lively sati-
faction the occasional expositions of kiss
ing in the various moods and lenses that
he is still in doubt as to the right time to
begin kissing. He retails at some length
the embarrassments that this uncertain
ity has brought upon him, and begs the
publication OF his letter in full, that
others who are similarly situated may
contribute to the discussion and thus
make the matter clear to those who are
willing but tirnid.
His own experience is not without GER
tain unique interest. He has known
the "the sweetest girl in the world" ever
since he left school. She belongs to a
family that considers it frat duty to
'live up to the dining-room dado and the
blue china that garnishes the side
board and table. The mother holds kiss
ing in abomination and is fond of remark
ing that the intellect is not fed through
the lips; )" that kiss is purely feshly
perversion OF the sweet intimacy of
aesthetic love. Under such frowning
providence the young girl he adores dis
plays an aversion to kissing him good
night, in welcoming him with this lovers
privilege when he comes of an evening
to take her to church. the theater or
what not
This, it will be seen, is rather trying
plight for a young lover-for kiss is the
visible sign and token of an inner senti-
ment which no words can express. The
eyes and the tongue do great deal Of
appreciable work in love-making, but the
meeting OF the lips is the sign and seal,
the chrism, SO to speak, which trans
forms the earthly into the divine. Love
without kiss would be like the harp
without the hand, the rainbow without
its hue; the book without its bsbble; the
landscape without its colors; the tea-rose
sweetest flower for scent that blows
without it's odor; the borealis without its
variations; poetry without rhythm; spring
without sunlight; a garden without foil
age or marriage without love- The young
woman whose ideals teach her to recoil
from kiss cheats the lover of the joys of
loving and does not deserve the devotion
of a manly heart. She may live up to the
dining room dado and the sideboard brio
a-brac, but she will never prove a con-
genial wife, and our correspondent will
save his heart-strings many future
wrench by leaving her to her dado and
brio a. rac. -PhiIddelphia Times.

The Place Where Cats Can't Live.
lBodie Gal Free Press. ]

Jim Townsend, of Lundy, has been
making some experiments with an or
binary domestic cat. 1t has been re-
peatedly stated that cat could not live
at an altitude of Is, 600 feet above the
sea. Mr.. Townsend has demonstrated
that such is the fact. On Monday last
he and another gentleman made the
ascent of Castle Peak, which is httie
over Is, 900 feet high. They took with
them cat, Thomas, that was year old,
and had lived at an altitude of G, 900 feet
with no symptoms of disease. Mr..
Townsend had the cat in box, and as
they went up be took observations and
noted very carefully its every movement.
When the summit was reached they
pitched their tent This was about two
O'Clock III the afternoon. The cat par
took of some food, and after playing for
an hour or so, fell asleep and did not
wake up until near midnight. When it
did recover consciousness it set up q
bowling, and appeared much distressed.
Townsend pit1ed it and endeavored to
make it feel at home, but it was of no
use. 1t kept up q constant moaning,
and displayed symptoms Of having fits.
When morning came the cat was offered
food, but it refused to eat and acted even
more strangely than during the night
Townsend says it would open it's month
as if gasping for breath; would jump
about, and then go to sleep and wake up
with start. All this while close watch
was kept and every movement noted
At five o'clock in the afternoon the cat
died of exhaustion.

lowell Mill.Glrls. Old StrIe.

The home life of the mill girls as
knew it III nv mothers family was nearly
like this: Work began at 5 o'clock on
summer mornings, and at daylight in the
winter. Breakfast was eaten by lamp
light, during the cold weather in sum
mer, an interval OF half an hour was al
lowed for it, between and s o'clock.
The time given for the noon meal was
from half to three-quarters Of an hour.
The only hours Of leisure were from half
past or to 10 in the evening, the mills
closing little earlier ON Saturdays. 1t
was an imperative regulation that lights
should be out at 10, During those two
evening hours, when it was too cold for
the girls to sit in their own rooms, the
dining room was used for sitting-room
where they gathered around the tables,
and sewed, and read, and wrote, aud
studied. 1t seems wonder, to look
back upon it, how they accomplished so
much as they did, in their limited allow
ance of time. They made and mended
their own clothing, often doing a good
deal of unnecessary fancy work besides.
They subscribed for periodicals took
books from the libraries went to sing
ing schools, conference meetings, con-
certs and lectures watched at night by
q sick girls bedside, and did double work
for her IN the mill, if necessary and on
Sundays they were at church, not differ

Strangers who had been sitting beside

Lowell was eminently church going
place and the hush of the old-fashioned
Sabbath had there peculiar charm, by
contrast with the week-d day noise The
mill-girls not only cheerfully paid their
pew-rents, but gave their earnings to be
built into the walls of new churches, as
the population increased. Their contri-
buttons to social and foreign charities also
were noticeably liberal. What they did
fer their own Misunderstanding little
sister at school, sending brother to col
lege, lifting the burden of homestead
debt from parents old age-was done
so frequently and so quietly as to pass
without comment. Their independence
was as marked as their generosity While
they were ready with sisterly help for
one another whenever it was needed,
nothing would have been more intolera-
BILE to most of them than the pauper
spirit into which women who look 10 re-
latives or friends for support so easily
subside. Perhaps they erred in the di-
rection of too resolute self-reliance.
That trait, however, is a part Of the
common New England inheritance and
there was, indeed, nothing peculiar
about the Lowell mill-girls, except that
