100000 People

In the United States use the celebrate
Studebsker wagons and carriages. This
is largely due to the fact that esp Jcial
care is taken III selecting the material.
The wood used is of the best, being Sc
lected from the forests of Indiana, which
are noted for their superior quality OF
timber suitable for wagon making. Every
piece of timber used is subjected to close
inspection, and discarded if not up TO
the standard Ali the new improve.
ments, as fast as they are made, are
added 10 the wagons. The StudebakeT
Company has many valuable patents
which are rut in use on their wagons
and add much TO their worth. The
Studebaker is the best ironed wagon In
the market, every one having the patent
round edge projecting tire, which protects
the paint and felloe. These wagons have
the slope-shouldered spoke, which greatly
increases the strength of the wheels. The
sucress of the Studebaker wagon COM
built up at South Bend, Indiana, the
largest wagon factory in the world They
employ over 1000 men, have twoimmense
engines Of 400 horse power each, and
boilers of 1900 horse power, as the factory
is heated by steam They construct
every kind of vehicle from express
wagons to the most elegant hacks and
coaches and take the utmost care with
their manufacture Their wagons will
bear the severest tests and the Studebaker
company guarantee satisfaction to their
customers.

USE OF CoLD WATER-Nothing is more
conducive to health than the use of the
cold douche and the shower bath; but
the exhibition of these popular .applian-
ces in all or any of their forms ought to
be restricted TO a few seconds of time ,and
unless the evidences of stimulation-red-
ness and steaming of the surface-are
rapidly produced, the affusion should he
laid aside. The use of cold water in cold
weather is practice which must be gov
erned by rules special to each individual
case; and it is with a view to warn the
public against the recourse to gsneral
recommendations we allude to the sub
ject. Whether the practice recommend
ed be that of plunging the feet in cold
water before going to bed, to procure
sleep---a reckless prescription founded
on physiological fallacy-or any other
use of cold water, the only safe course is
to seek the counsel of medical man and
particularly in the case of children we
urge that this precaution be observed.

FOUNDER IN HoRsEs.-Veterinar
works describe founder" as laminitis.
or foot Inflammation, appearing in two
forms, the first where the sole is affected
the second where the bones of the foot
are also included. The causes are
numerous-fast driving on hard roads,
over-eXel ton, overfeeding, drinking
cold water when heated, and similar ex-
cesses. AS for treatment, all manner of
things are recommended, but the real
character of the trouble must be kept
steadily in view. In early stages use
poultices to the foot, and warm fomenta-
tions. Dose with tincture of aconite in
small but frequent potions. In shoeing
use stout, wide-webbed and leng- barred
shoes. Let the heel part be wide and
thin, and fit them so that the horse can
throw his weight of the pedal bone on
the elastic tissues and tendons behind it.
There are several forms of patent shoe
for accomplishing this purpose, and any
first class blacksmith should know how
to shoe so as to partially, if not entirely
relieve the lameness caused by founder.

THERE IS NO DEATH.
SIR F. BULwER LYrTOE.

There is no death. The stars 20 down
To rise upon some tIirer shore;
And bright in heavens ieweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss Ihey bear
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the yiewless air
There is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers NAV fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming Of May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bars our best-loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers,
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones,
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees "A smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice.
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life
They leave us but TO come again;
With Joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is iife-there is no dead.

WONDERS OF THE MIcRoscopE.-A
thousand wonders in nature are lost TO
the human eye, and only revealed to us
through the microscope. Think of di-
viding single spiders web into thou
sand strands, or counting the arteries
and nerves in the wing of a gossamer
moth. Yet by the powerful aid of the
lens of microscope, it is found there
are more than 4, 900 muscles in a cater
pillar. The eye of a drone contains a.
600 mirrors, and the body of every spi-
der is furnished with four little Jumps,
pierced with tiny holes, from each of
which issnes single thread, and when
thousand of these are joined together.
they make the silk line of which the spi-

LACK OF AR.-Some workmen think
themselves tired when they are only
poisoned. They labor in factories,
breathe air without oxygen, and live in
an atmosphere of death. They are, too
often, allowed to smoke, and thus add
fuel to the flame which is consuming
them. They knock off work tired" and
listless, when they are merely weakened
by foul air and made dull and heavy by
an atmosphere charged with disease.
They keep the windows shut and close
the door on health, while they
lift the gratings of the tomb
by breathing and rebreathing the
poison from their own lungs, and
the floating particles of matter about
them. Open the windows-let in the
sunshine and the breeze, stop smoking,
and you will soon find that it is the
poison of confinement, and not labor,

Gold aud silver In History.

The earliest history extant of the hu-
man race informs rs that gold and silver
were highly appreciated as measures for
aesthetic adOrnment and personal adorn-
ment. In the first chapter of the first
book of the Pentateuch mention is made
of the first book of Havilah, and, it is
added with considerable unction, "the
gold of that land is goOd'-from alloy
silver or copper, and worth $40 an ounce
at the mines. Abraham bought the cave
of Macphelan for burial place for his
faithful spouse, Sarah, and paid for it
in precious lucre, current money of the
merchant" His grandson, Jacob, sent
his sons with money to buy corn in
Egypt, and the Holy Writ is full of allu-
sions to gold and silver as negotiable
articles or as emblems of purity, beauty
and every desirable quality. Solomon
sent his ships to Tarshish for golL which
was very plenty III Jerusalem during his
reign and as for silver it was so abundant
that it was not accounted anything in
the days of Solomon" Things were ey-
identity on specie basis during the reign
of that merry monarch; yet, though it
would appear that the times
should have been flush, the Israelites
were so oppressed by his his exactions
for building the temple, the Kings
house, etc., and furnishing them with
vessels of gold, silver and brass, that at
Solomon death they thought it meet to
send deputation to his son and success
sor, asking relief from the burdens laid
upon them by the "wisest man" Their
petition was contemptuously rejected,
and Immediately ten tribes passed ordi-
nances of secession and went out of the
Hebraic Union. So that the building of
the Temple was the occasion of the dis
ruption of the Jewish Empire, instead,
as 5he builder fondly hoped, of being a
bond of indissoluble union between the
tribes. But this is a depression, for
which L trust 1 will be forgiven. The
earliest profane history also shows that
gold and silver were the chief objects of
ardent desire and earnest quest among
the ancient pagans; and Midas, of the
golden touch; Jason, of the golden fleece
and other old buffers who reveled in
wealth, were almost as popular as Her
cules, Perseus and the long list of heroes
and demi-gods whose wonderful exploits
furnished interesting reading to the
Greeks and Romans III the brave DAYS of

THE GENTLE WAsP..-The season is
here at last when the adventurous small
boy thinks he can make experiments
with the sluggish wasp that he finds
creeping on u window sash in the garret.
he is not wholly ignorant of the foibles
of the insect, but he has heard the say
ing that ''wasps won't sting till the June
birds sing" 1t is great comfort for
him to know this. 1t gives him poor
idea of the wasp and encourages him 70
insult it. Accordingly he removes it
from the window sash, places it in his
extended palm and tickles it defiantly
under the ribs. Later on, two strong
women are holding that boys hand
while the anxious mother is exploring
the palm with needle, and his little
heels are ehurning holes In the nursery
floor. Thus is childish faith in the
truth of cherished sayings shattered
thus is the first idol of our lives broken
and the first lesson of skepticism taught.

When they Found Her Dead.

Children are the sunshine of life.
They are the soft wind which thaws away
the snow and ice of selfshness.- They
are the atmosphere in which old age
finds hours of youthfulness. On Pros
pect street lived an old woman who
made herself terror to every child who
passed her door. Her house was old
and grim. The dark curtains were al
ways down, the doors were seldom
opened, and no child passed it without
fearing the evil spirit that seemed to
lodge there. The old woman cursed any
one who dared peer through the fence,
ard if seen abroad she was carefully
avoided.
A few days ago the children saw the
inside of her house for the first time.
The old woman had been found dead,
and the men and women had assembled
to respect her cold clay. With them
came the little children. They were the
first to forget what she had been, and
the first to shed tears over the close OF
her earthly career. Men and women
were satisfied when the body had been
dressed for the grave, but the children
brought flowers and laid them on her
grizzly hair until she seemed to wear a
crown of glory; they placed beautiful
lily in her bony fingers, a green vine
over her breast, and when the curtain
was raised and the Sunshine streamed in
and fell upon the dead, men and women
said:
''It is the face of mother and a wo.
man and we were too harsh with her. Let
God remember that she was all alone and
had much to endure
The work of the children had robbed
death of its look, and melted frozen
hearts, and as they stood around the bier
and sang:
Yes we'u gather at the river
That fl 'ws by the throne " God"
men pressed each others hands and
whispered:
would that our hearts would always
be the hearts of children. = Detroit
Press.
