The Lighting of Paris,

The streets of Paris are lighted by 49,
600 gas lamps and 429 lamps which burn
petroleum and COLA oil. There are in
addition 1000 jets of gas in the build
ings which belong to the municipality,
and the total cost for lighting them is
estimated for the current year at $780,
600 francs. An ordinary gas lamp burns
about six gallons of gas an hour, and
the cost for year, supposing the gas to
be burning about ten hours every night,
Is almost exactly 105 francs. The petro-
'eum and oil lamps cost about fifty per
cent. more. The gas company employ
seventy-six men looking after the lamps
and the mains, many Ct them being told
off to inspect the meters and the pipes
in private houses, and see there is no es-
cape. The lighting power of the gas
supplied by the company is tested every
evening at eleven laboratories, situated
in different parts of the city.

many years sufferer from quinsy. Thomas
EcLectric OIL cured me. i was also troubled
with hoarscness, and Thomas Electric oil al

diphtheria, and Thomas Electric Oh cured them
and IL taken i'm time IL will cure seven times

most obstinate cold, or cough, and If any one
will take a small teaspoon and half ill 1t with
OIL and then place the end of the spoon in one
nostril and draw the OIL out of the spoon into
the head, by smiling as hard as they can, until
the Oh falls over into the throat, and practice
1t twice week, l don't care how offensive
their head may be, 1t will clean it out and cure
their catarrh. For deafness and earache, IL
has done wonders to my certain knowledge.

10 BE Pitied.

The girls who, owing TO their worldly
prosperity, have nothing to do, are to be
sincerely pitied. Safety lies in constant
occupation; even "busy idleness'' i,
better than nothing; for while at work
on worsted dog or cat, Amanda has NO
time TO think of her woes or nerves.
Most young men are forced to get their
living whether they like it or not, but a
large number of young ladies in family
have nothing to do. They are above the
necessity of following any occupation;
they are often too many in family to
assist in domestic duties; they have re-
turned home from school with some very
poor accomplishments their knowledge
of French and German is not sufficient
to allow them TO converse in those lam
guages, and just enough music to in
dulge in doleful song, " badly play
on the piano. They dawdle through
tho day in lifeless way, and fall vic
Tins TO thousand little ailments which
the doctor is supposed TO put right by
physlc. And the most curious thing is
that, should the instincts of the Girl
force her to put some of her energies
into use, she is as likely as not to be
thwarted by the mother, who insists
upon 1t that her darling is everlasting
herself

Jonah.
Carl Pretzel.


Jonah, the genial gentleman who's
miraculous escape from the whales
stomach has caused many a child
mouth to open in wonderment and
whose name has been handed down to
posterity, was indeed brave man.
When the whale took him in out Of the
wet, he displayed quantity of nerve,
that has since astonished all the prize
fighters i'm the world. Most men would
have wept on being swallowed, but lit
tie Jonah was not to be sucked in like
that, without having little fun. So
he just roamed around in the whale un-
til he struck the ticklish place and he
got in his work, and the whale was
glad TO get rid of him, and he cast up
Count Jonah in short order. Now If
Jonah lad cried, and gone to blubbcr-
ing he never would have been heard of
again.

Death came to the earth, by his side was Spring
They came In Gods own bowers.
And the earth was full of their wandering,
For they both wers sowing flowers.
AZ SOW" said Spring, "by the stream and th'
wood,
And the village and children know
The gay glad time of my own sweet prime,
And where my blossoms grow.
''Therc is not a spot In the quiet wood
But ha sheard the sound OF my feet,
And the yiolets come from their solitude
When my tears hath made them sweet"
"Isow," said Death, "where the hamlet stands
SOW i'm the churchy&rd drear;
] drop in the grave with gentle hands,
My flowers from year to year.
"The young and the old go into their rest
To the sleep that awaits them below;
But clasp the children unto my breast,
And kiss them before | CO."

When the year turns weak and old,
When the breath of the bleak winds wears them
away,
Aud they wlther and droop in the mold.
But they come again when the young earth
feels,
The new blood leap In their veins
When the fountain of wonderful life unseals,
And the earth is alive with the rains
" SOW" said Death, but my flowers unseen
Pass away from the land of men.
Nor signs nor tears through the long sad years
Ever bring back their bloom again.
"But | know they are wondrous bright and
fair
In the fields of their high abode;
Your flowers are the flowers that a child may
wear,
But mine are the blossoms of God.n
Death came to the earth, by his side was Spring,
The two came from Gods own bowers
One sow'd In night and the other in light,
Yet they both were sowing flowers.

Importance OF Roots, Herbs and Banks
for the Cure OF Chronic Diseases.

If the same amount of time in re-
search and experiments had been ex-
pended on the vegetable kingdom as
have been on the mineral for the cure
of human ills there would be much
less disease and suffering in our land
to-day; for there are herbs provided by
our Heavenly Father, to cure al
diseases, if we but seek them out and
test their virtues; and when properly
combined, there is no disease but will
yield to their curative powers. The
discoveries of each succeeding day con-
vince us of the importance of attending
more strictly TO the use of herbs, roots,
.barks, &c.. for the treatment of all
diseases. The most uninviting and
noxious weeds frequently give relief in
almost hopeless cases.
But, experiments on this subject have
been too much neglected. Many of our
best and most experienced physicians
have within the last few years, largely
changed their mode of treatment and
are now using roots, herbs, ETC., instead
of minerals, such as mercury, arsenic,
zinc and lead, which have done more
to injure and break down the human
system, all over tho land, than any and
all other causes. The patient calls his
physician and relies on him to cure and
bring him through protracted illness,
but, how frequently it is that the pa
tient feels the injurious effects of the
poisonous medicines in his or her sys-
tenn all .hrough their remaining days.
We have known many cases, which
have come under our own personal OBJ
servation, where the patient has been
covered with Salt Rhcum, or Scrofu-
Ions Sores, and, where outward appli-
cations were used to heal these sores,
and when healed over were pronounced
cured; but, soon made their appearance
on another part of the body in much
more aggravating and sickening form.
II is very foolish and absurd to teach, OF
believe that such diseases as Scrofula,
Salt Rheum, Rheumatism, or Neural
gia, all of which are caused by diseased
and impure blood, can be cured by any
other treatment than that which will
first cleanse the blood of its impurities
II those who suffer from these dis
eases would think for moment as 4

or Salt Rhcum, they could readi1y un

A Georgia Incubator.

Hawkinsville Cor. Macon Telegraph.
: Passing by the residence of Mr.. j. X.
Beverly, he hailed us with the remark:
"Comc here, l want to show you a
sight" We went, and 5eheld sight
to us before unseen. In fireplace
strewn with cloth, rags, &C., surround
ed by four bottles, arranged in square,
open shape, were seventeen young
ducks, twelve young chickens and q
lumber of eggs nearly ready to hatch.
Mrs. Beverly informed us that the mites
killed her hens and she concluded to
try the virtues of a homemade incubn-
tor. and obtained the results witnessed.
The ducks and chickens Matched ont
were under the bottle process two or
three weeks.
Eggs that have never been set under
a hen, are under the same treatment,
with every prospect of success. She
gives the eggs warm bath daily and
keeps them warm by filling the bottles
from time TO time with warm water.
Her bottles are rivals of the glass hen
of the Atlanta exposition. and to her is
due the discovery of the bottle hen that
will perform the duties of the regular
