The Chicago Inter- Ocean says: IF
all drinking should cease jails could
be rented for warerooms, and poor
houses would have to advertise for
boarders. 1t is true that the poor
saloonists and sample-room keepers
would have hard time of it, but it
would be overbalanced by the good
time that would come to millions OF
homes where would be heard loving
voices instead of curses and blows
and sobs of wives and children

Baby Elephant.

Barnum is overjoyed with his ac-
quisition-the baby elephant-and de-
clares 100000 could not but it. He
offers $4,000 for an insurance of the
life of the infant for 50 weeks. Sure
ly, it he knew the full valve of PERU
na and Manalin, he would do no such
foolish thing, as they are the most
successful protective medicines that
have ever been introduced to the hu-
man family. No one can take any
disease while taking Peruna before
each meal, and keeping the bowels
regular with Manalin. Ask your
Druggist for the book on the "Ills of
Life"

Grand Discoveries.

The discovery Of great remedy is
frequently matter of accident. This,
however, is not the case with TAR
AXINE, now widely known and ap-
proved as an almost infallible remedy
for Liver Complaint, and diseases Of
the Kidneys and Bowels. The best
have for many years used
various preparations of dandelion root
in these diseases, but with only indif-
ferent success. After long series of
experiments, a combination, with the
active principle of the Dandelion as a
basis, and other approved remedies to
highten its potency has been effected,
and the desired specific for these dis
eases has been found in the produc-
tion-TARAXINE. For sale by E.

Physicians Wine of the Oporto Grape.

New York Physicians say that they
have been using Speer's Port Grape
Wine and Wine Bitters in their prac-
tice for years, to the entire satisfac-
ton of their patients and themselves,
and take great pleasure in recommend
ing them to the public as being all
that is claimed for them, and, in fact,
the most reliable they can find. 1t is
especially recommended for consump-
tives, the aged for females generally.
1t is rich in iron, from the iron in the

How YOltaire Cured the Decay Of his
Stomach.

In the memoirs Of Count Segur,"
there is the following anecdote: my
mother, the Countess de Segur, being
asked by Voltaire respecting her
health, told him that the most painful
feeling she had arose from the decay
in her stomach and the difficulty of
finding any kind of aliment that it
could bear. Voltaire, by way of con-
ISOLATION, assured her that he was once
for nearly year in the same state,
and believed to be incurable, but that,
nevertheless, very simple remedy
had restored him. 1t consisted in tax
ing no other nourishment than yolks
of eggs beaten up with the -four of
potatoes and water" Though this
circumstance concerned so extraordl-
nary person as Voltaire, it is aston
ishing how little it is known and how
rarely the remedy has been practiced.
Its efficacy, however, in cases Of de-
biGty, cannot be questioned, and the
following is the mode Of preparing
this valuable article of food as recon-
mended by Sir John Sinclair: Beat
up an egg in a bowl, and then add six
tablespoonfuls of cold water, mixing
the whole well together; then add two
tablespoonfuls of farina Of potatoes;
let it be mixed thoroughly with the
liquid in the bowl; then pour in as
much boiling water as will convert
the whole thing into jelly, and mix
it well. 1t may be taken alone or
with the addition of a little milk in
case of stomachic debility or consump-
tive misunderstanding american.

CAll The Year Round.1
YELLOW CROCUSES.
The wind has walled itself to rest,
A watery glory fills the west,

The wind has walled itself to rest,
AWatery glory fills the west,
Where drops the dying sun;
Among the trees the thrusheS sing
The finch and blackbird pipe of spring
And gladness new begun.
The lilac shakes her dripping leaves,
Upon the lawn the daisies grow,
And in the borders all arrow
The crocuses are seen.
Bright flowers and brave! the wind hath blown
All day with ceaseless sob and moan
About your slender forms;
Ahdiay al day G each f golden head M d was bent
In cruelest of storms
Yet no gold petals strew the ground,
The old box-borders fenced You round
From wind and driving showers;
The green X-bOrderS, older far
BY many decade than ye are,
My yellow spring-time flowers!
Ye bent full meekly to the blast,
And now the storm is overpast;
The silver drops of rain
AS towards the slowly dying sun
4e lift your heads again.
Bent, but not broken, by the storm,
Ye look again for sunshine warm,
For busy brown bee fiittIng by,
For fairy kiss of butterfly,
For music in the trees.
And with Tomorrow these shall come,
The sunshine and the wild bees hum,
The butterfiy's white wing;
And my brave golden flowers shall share
With all sweet things in earth and air
The gladness of the spring.
All, bonnie flowers! ye mind me well
OF that old sorrow which befell
My heart in early years;
The storm that veXed me in my youth,
That shook my faith in love and truth,
That rained in bitter tears!
But old love fenced me from the blast,
And when the bitter storm was overpast,
Among life's freshening bowers
lifted up my dropping head,
And not one tender leaf was shed
Oflove's own golden flowers.
Bent, but not broken by the storm,
/ turned me to the sunshine warm,
And smiled at life again;
The old box borders screened the flowers
Love sheltered me in those far hours
From sorrows wind and rain!

cigar set fire to the cord attached to
his Eyeglasses. The fame darted up,
