are never initiated or counteyfeited. This
is especially true of family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy
initiated is Of the highest value. As soon
as it had been tested and proved by the
whole World that Hop Bitters was the
purest, best and most valuable medicine
on earth, many limitations sprang up and
began to steal the notices in which the
press and the people of the country had
expressed the merits of H. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffering in
valids to use their stuff instead, expecting
to make money on the credit and good
name of H. B. Many others started nos
trums put up in similar style to H. B !,
with variously devised names in which
the word "Hop" or ''Hops" were used in
way to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter
what their style or name is, and especi-
ally those with the word Hop or
''Hops'' in their name or in any way
way connected with them or their name,
are limitations or counterfeits. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use moth
ing but genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch
or cluster of green Hops on the white
label. Trust nothing else. Druggists
and dealers are warned against dealing
in limitations or counterfeits nar24ly

Careful Generosity.

A railroad conductor, the other
day, paid out of his own pocket the
fare of a woman who was Fastening
without ticket or money to the bed
side of her dying husband, in Phil
adelphia hospital, at the same time
conveying to her the impression that
the fare was paid by man who sat
behind her and had expressed his
sympathy. That person promptly
put the credit where it belonged, and
subsequently took occasion to ask
the conductor why he had waived
his own claim to the woman's graft.

"when you have been q conductor

and snubbed by 900 different kirds
Of humanity, you will learn 10 do
your duty and be satisfied with that
alone. That woman's distress was
real, but possibly nine out OF ten |
meet with similar stories, will be
professional dead heats and frauds of
the first water. If conductor does
a humane act now and then aud the
people hear of it, few will praise
and compliment him for it, but for
the next months every tramp and
shyster along the road will strike his
train and endeavor to cheat him out
of the fare by working upon his
feelings"

in Ireland last year are shown III the

all of the more important agricul-

nearly a million aud a half tons.
This decrease alone would account
for a great deal of suffering.

How Watches are Made.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from the
necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold 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, end
solidity and strength increased by a SIM
pie process, at one-half the cost A plate
ofsclid gold is soldered on each side of a
plate of hard nickel composition metal,
and the three are then passed between pol
ished steel rollers From this the casos,
backs, centers, bezels, etc, are cut and
shaped by dies and formers. The gold is
thick enough to admit of all kinps Of
chasing, engraving and engine turning
These cases have been worn perfectly
smooth by use without rem owing the
gold. This is the only case made under
this process. Each case is accompanied
with valid guarantee signed by The
manufacturers warranting it to run *
years. $50, 600 of these cases now carried
in the United States and Canada. Largest

Garnbettn's Pcn-IlOw He Wrote for
His Newspaper.

Gambetta was not a brilliant writer, and
he never knew when to stop. 1t IS related
that he would enter his editorial-rOom,
say 81 shall want about hall column
tonight" and sitting down, he would
begin TO cover page after page with his
close. cramped handwriting. For so im-
petuous a man he wrote curiously stlii
hand. and though his fingers moved last,
their motion was fcverish and spasmodi-
cal. IL could never be SAID Of him
that he "dashcd of" any OF his elFu-
sions. He rather icrked them OIL, sway
ing the upper part OF his body ponderously
TO and fro as he wrote, and now and then
collecting his thoughts by passing his large
left hand rapidly through his hair. Black
coffee would be brought bin, and he would
90 on writing; then he would call Tor Il
bottle of Burgundy and gulp down two or
three glasses, munching sweet biscuits al
forwards, OF else sticks Of chocolate in lieu
of dinner. The editor, who has been max
ing allowances for half column, would see
Gambetta's article overflow one column az
fer another. washing away all other articles
and notes, till it spread like an inunda-
ton over the entire front page OF the pa
per. Then, with heaty "OV," the
French exclamation OF relief, he would
throw down his pen and say: "There, |
think those few lines will state our case
plainly. What do they really run TO five
columns? Sdcrebieu! it seemed to me as
IL had only been writing ten minutes "
and upon this he would break into laugh
that resounded all over the Office and partly
dispelled the gloom OF his contributors,
who had been pulling wry faces at seeing
their evenings work lost.
