Words and Their Uses.

Richard Grant White has written a good
deal concerning the origin and various mean
ings OF several old English words and
phrases, and many OF his remaaks are very
instructive and interesting. Primarily,
words We're designed to express ideas, and
not, as Tallyrand said, to conceal them. II
a genuine autograph OF Shakespeare, Milton,
Swift or Pope could be found, how it would
De priced and appreciated by the fortunate
finder!
The old Charter Oak at Hartford is justly
cared for, and its history is priced beyond
anything else in Connecticut; and the public
throughout the United States have a vague
idea that it must have some intrinsic merit,
because the words Charter Oak' have been
used as a trade mark by the largest stove
factory i'm the world. For our own part, we
like to see ambitious manufacturers stamp
their goods so that buyers will know them
on sight. The CHARTER OAK STOVE rather
adds TO the claims for venerition Of the old
Charter Oak at Hartford, and will be likely
to perpetuate it long after the original tree
is entirely forgotten. This is the way OF the
world. (J-2S)

Preserving Autumn Leaves.

Last fall, writes a correspondent OF
the Lddics' Floral CdbiHct, was particu-
larly rich in bright-colored leaves. |
entered into the business of preserving
them with great ardor, and have been
well repaid for my trouble. All winter
my room was brilliant with their gay
colors, and they are still as beautiful rs
when | broke them from the trees.
When pressed, leaves of a solid color
do not have rs striking an effect as those
with green or yellow centers slightly
touched with crimson on the edges.
Young maple trees usually have brighter
foliage than those Of maturer growth.
Oak leaves, If sought early, are some
times found of great brulianCy, and
these are particularly pretty because OF
their graceful form.
Handsomer decorative effects are pro-
duced with boughs or twigs than with
detached leaves. Three or four grace
full branches form very handsome cor
nice for lace curtains, and there Is no
richer frame for a sDmber old engraving
than few sprays OF many-colored
maple leaves, or Il cluster of graceful
oak leaves. The boughs themselves
form pretty picture if tastefully
grouped and nailed against white or
delicatc)y tinted wall. Quite large
boughs may be pressed between news
papers, two thicknesses of newspapers
between each Dough. The papers must
be changed every day for about ten
days, or the leaves will mildew and lose
all their brightness. Some people pre-
fer coarse brown paper, as that need be
changed only once in two days.
After the leaves are dry, sprinkle
them with resin and pass Il hot iron
over them. Be careful not to have the
iron TOO hot, or the leaves will shriyel
up. Resin gives n slight but very beau
tiful gloss to the leaves, and preserves
them better than prepared varnish, lin
seed oil, paratline, and ice-water.

LIST OF DISEASES CURED BY

Sarsaparillian RcsOlvent.

Chronic Skin Diseases, Carries OF the Bone, HUI
ors in the Blood, Scrofuious Diseases, Bad or Un-
natural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Fenerea1. Fee
yer Sores, Chronic or Old Ulcers, Salt Rheum,
Ricketts,, White Swelling, Scald Head, Uterine At

Diseases, Chronic Rheumatism and Gout. Con-
sumption, Gravel and Calculous Deposits, end va
rietles of the above complaints to which some
timee are given epecious names.
We assert that there is no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these diseases
that RADwAY's RRsoLvENT furnishes. II cures
step by STEP surely, from the foundation, and re-
stores the injured parts to their sound cond1t1on
THE WASTES OF THE BODY ARE STOPPED AND HEAL
THY BLOOD IS SUPPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, from which
new materiai is formed. This is the first correc-
tive power of RADwAY's REsoLvENT.
In cases where the system has been salivated,
and Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate
have accumulated and become deposited In the
bones, joints, etc., causing carries OF the bones,
ricketts, spinal curvatures, contortons, white swell
lings, varicose veins, etc., the SARsAPARILLIAE
will resolve away those deposits and exterminate
the virus of the disease from the system.
II those who are taking these medicines for the
cure OF Chronic, Scrofulous or syphilitic diseases
dnd their general health improving, their flesh and
weight Increasing, even keeping its own, Is q
sure sigh that the cure is progressing. In these
diseases the patient either gets better or worse
the virus of the disease is not inactive III not ar
rested and driven from the blood it will spread and
continue to undermine the constitution. AS soon
as the SARsAPARILIIAN makes the patient feel
better every hour you will grow better and in
crease in health, strength and flesh.

CIRCUIT COURT.

This morning Judge Glenn overruled the
general demurrer to the amended
declaration and sustained the
special demurrer to the second breach
assigned in the case of the people versus
Porter. In rendering his decision the court
stated that the county collector was re-
quired by law to make statement of funds
collected at the first of each month, which
statement was to be made to the county
clerk.
As collector, the official was to give him
self credit for the amount reported to the
county clerk, while as county treasurer he
was to charge himself with the amount
which his report showed he had credited to
himself as county collector.
In short, the court held that each muni-
cipality should sue for the amount collect
ed and due such municipality, and not the
county, as was contended by the prosecu-
ton.
The case of Carson versus Lobdell was
still on trial during the day.
