Ecleam Consumption Cure.

The greatest lung medicine ever
discovered. Overwhelming testimony
accompanies every bottle, proving it
to be the greatest medicine ever Of
ferred to the public. As an expec-
torant it has no equal. Eclegm Con-
sumption Cure invariably cures
coughs. colds, Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal
lists, because it strengthens the lungs
and imparts to the voice fullness and

purely vegetable, and is natures best
assistant in curing throat troubles.

Nature and Man.

Unconscious nature takes no heed
of human suffering. Her forces are
without feeling and sympathy
They iDflict pain and death on sen
tient creatures, such as man and the
lower animals, without conpunc-
ton or remorse, but of course with
out malicious intent. The philoso-
pher John Stuart Mill has weakly
arraigned nature for her unfeeling-
ness. But, on the whole, the utter
Indifference and apathy of nature to
man and human events constitute
her greater charm to one who has
done with what are called final
causes.
If nature was in constant sympa-
thy with man, where would be her
delightful repose and the tranquil
ity of her forest solitudes, which are
so soothing and medicinal to jaded
nerves AS it is, great nation
may be torn and rent by civil war
and its citizens engaged in mutua
slaughter, and yet, outside of The
immediate arenas of conflict, the
peace, repose and regular move
ments of the natural world are en-
tirely undisturbed.
The brook bickers down its lonely
glen as usual; the river winds quiet
ly through luxurious meadows and
past solitary hamlets, villages and
cities in cleaning rings and mean
ders; the morninglights up the earth

To the eastern eye how rough in
it's outfit and how pathetic in its
lack of comforts is the home of one
of these pioneers. The one ] have
in mind stands close to the brink of
the river, so near the waters that
the rise of last spring swept up to
the door stills. 1t is made of logs
squared and fitted at the ends, with
long interstices between the timbers-
closed by wooden wedges and mud
work. Two or three rugged out
houses similarly constructed give
shelter to the farm cattle. The half
cleared tract of 100 acres, taken by
the settler under the Homestead act,
is thickly SCARED with blackenea
stumps, between which rise styug-
CLING patches Of grass or gram.
Near the dwelling is scrubby
garden covered with a weak growth
of carrots and the vlole cleared
tract is circled by the ghost-like
array of those dead pines which all
over Michigan record the sweep of
the forest firos. The dismal environ
ment of The settlers home has its
counterpart in the rough walls, the
unexpected floor, the squalid child
rem chasing each other from corner
to corner, the flock of frowsy chick
ems that enter and go out at will,
and, most pathetic of all, the house
wife, worn with toll and child bear
ing, who, with an infant at breast,
pulls YEARLY through her dreary
round of drudgery. In closet fitted
with dirty berths sleep the children.
Go up now to the upper story next
the roof, where the grown people and
visitors sleep. The garrett, for it is
nothingelse, runs the whole length
and breadth of the structure. In
each corner is a rude bed fitted with
sheets and coverlids on which seem
to have gathered the dirt Of ages.
On one of these in the open room
slept my comrade and myself. In
another was the mistress of the
manse, whose husband was away in
one of the lumber towns, and in a
third narrow couch slumbered two
hired men. With one exception the
nearest neighbor of this backwoods
family was some ten miles a way all
supplies had to come from the lake
town of Au Sable, fifty or sixty miles
distant, over sandy roads; and the
only visitors were the rude lumber
men or an occasional sportsman
from Saginaw or Detroit. Yet amid
all these shadows of poverty, hard
ship, and squalor there was some
riffs of light. Faint giimpses of
culture or comfort were to be seen
in the coarse prints on the walls, the
sewing machine, and some stray
efforts at household decoration.
The children, though untidy, were
red checked, and precocious in
speech and observation far beyond
their years; and the temper of the
inmates of the rude dwelling reflect
ed the most kindly and generous
hospitality. When | found that
this backwoods home had been wrest-
ed only two years before from an
unbroken forest, l realized the real
dignity and import of those humble
frontier beginnings from which the
greatness OF "A nation has sprung

How Watches are Made.

In q SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from the
necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and bold the en-
graved portions in place, and supply
strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless. In James Boss Patent Gold
Watch Cases this waste is saved, and
solidity and strength increased by SIM
pie process, at one-half the cost A plate
Of sclid gold is soldered on each side of a
plate of hard nickel composition metal,
and the three are then passed between poll
ished steel rollers From this the casos,
backs, centers, bezeis, etc, are cut and
shaped BY dies and formers. Tie gold is
thick enough to admit OF ali kinis Of
chasing, engraving and engine turning
These cases have been worn perfectly
smooth by use without removing the
gold This is the only case made under
this process. Each case is accompanied
with a valid guarantee signed by the
manufacturers warranting il to rua 90
years. so, COO Of these cases pow carried
in the United States and Canada. Largest
and Oldest factory. Established 1854.
