DROPS OF WATER.

Mr.. JOSEPH G. BIcKNELL, No. 642 Main Street.
Cambrdgeport, Mass, writes, April q, 1888: 'lhave
been terribly afflicted for number of years with gravel
and kidney disease. Ny urine contained brick dust
deposits and times could not pass my water except
in drops and with great pan and have had to get up as
many as fifteen times during the night tried several
physlcans they did me good, but friend of mine
who had used Hunts Remedy, told me to get bottle
and try it. He had been cured of severe case similar
to mine, and that others had used Hunts Remedy In
Cambridge and pronounced It medicine of real merit
After being repeatedly urged purchased bottle, and
before had used all Off passed stone as large as
pea followed by smaller ones. have used In all ten
bottles and 1t has completely cured me- My kidneys
are in excellent condition and for one of my age 6S
sxty-eight years, can truly say feel like young
man with strength and vitality My family use the
Remedy and would not be without it, and never fail
to recommend 1t TO friends and neighbors in Cam

Tea-Tasters.

Tea-tasters are employed by import
ers of teas, by great tea firms in China
and Japan, in London and New York.
Their duties are very onerous. Their
taste has to be instinctively correct, as
reliable as car-conductor' bell punch,
and vet the most expert of them could
no more ascertain the facts required by
the law than could the trained consumer
of eaing-house hash tell what curiosi-
ties Of the animal, the vegetable, the
mineral and the red-haired world had
originally been chopped up in the old
oaken hash-bucket that hangs out in the
Kitchen. His whole duty is to merely
tell the merchantable grade of the tea,
and, by tasting pinch of the leaves, to
accurately anticipate the flavor that the
same tea will offer to the consumer OF it
when it has been stepped and served.
He puts pinch of the tea as prepared
for market into his mouth; he works his
mouth unpleasantly for few moments
till the tea is softened with saliva; then,
with "clickn like the cooking of an
Arizona six-shooter, he obtains the
"taste;" then he spitS the tea out, care
fully rinses his mouth and gives his
verdict. His is the most melancholy OF
lives. He may never taste lntoXlcants'
His diet must be such that it will never
deteriorate his tasting powers. But
he gets an enormous salary. The aver
age of his usefulness is only eight years.
Much mistaken was the Irish poet who
wrote of whisky:
You're shtronger, shwater daycenter,
You're shpunker nor tay.
Because 'tay" in eight years leaves the
faster q hopelessly palsied invalid, 10
spend his savings in the vain hope OF
regaining health That tea will inebri-
ate is proven. When the tea plant is
Just about to bloom experts 60 through
the gardens and carefully clip the most
advanced blossoms just about to burst
into flower. These are manipulated
generally, as is all tea, but with the
most Jealous care. The result is tea
that even sells in Japan and in China,
at from ten dollars to eighteen dollars a
pound. The travelled Americans are
numerous who unanimously attest that
the leisurely drinking of four little
china cups ofthe sleeping of this kind
of tea has almost precisely the same ef-
feet upon them as the drinking of a
quart bottle of champaign, only that
the exuberance is far more lasting and
that it leaves them without head ring
ing like dinner gong and with no pre-
sentiment of resulting ''jim-jams. IN

"DID WONDERS FOR ME-"

The above words are from Mr.. LEWIS KEEN No. 9
Highland Avenue, Maiden, Mass, ApIil2S, 1888 He
says: "Ihave been troubled for years with kidney
and liver complaint followed by gravel with severe
pains in my back and groins. l had great trouble in
passing water 1t being scanty and accompanied by
terrible burning the vessel being coated with brick
dust deposit. 1 was recommended to use Hunts
Remedy by a friend who had been completely cured of
a similar trouble. l purchased bottle at the drug
giss, and commenced to improve at orce. l haze
used but two bottles and it has done wonders for me
no more kidney trouble, no more pain. 1t has given
me new life and would not be without Hunts Rene
dy at any price, 1t is all that 1t is recommended to be-
and cheerfuy give this testimony for the benefit Of
the many sufferers from kidney disease and gravel"

AdYice to Communities.

On the appearance of the first symptoms
as general debility, loss of appetite, pal
lor, chilly sensations, followed by night
sweats and cough-prompt measures for
relief should be taken. Consumption is
scrofulous disease of the lungs-therefore
use the great anti-scrofula, or blood-purifer
and strengthen Pierce's "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" Superior to Cod
liver oil as nutritive, and unsurpassed as
a pectoral. For weak lungs, splitting of
blood, and kindred affections, it has no
equal. Sold by druggists the world over.

was a healthy and vigorous growth, and
more and better flowers and of richer

For delicate and very nice dessert
make pudding thus: Dissolve half an
ounce of gelatine in half pint of cold
milk; let it come to a boil gradually.
When hot, but not boiling, add theyelk
of three well-beaten eggs; stir con.
stantly. Sweeten to your taste; or, II
you wish definite direction, put in a
quarter of pound of sugar. This is
the right amount for most people.
When this is cold, stir in it pint of
whipped cream. Flavor with lemon or
vanilla; and, the last thing, stir in the
whites of the three eggs; have them
beaten quite stiff. Serve this cool, with
cake or with fruit.-M. Y. Post.

I" Black Yer Boots -

, "Tell me, joe" said a reporter to
one of the proprietors of one of the old
est boOtblack stands in the city, "some-
thing about the knights of the blacking
brush" He and his partner were soon
interested in the subject, and impaired
the following information in broken
English: The bootblacks of the city
are principally Mexicans, Italians and
Portuguese; of late, too, a few Ameri
cans, principally California-born boys,
have crept in. 1t is not healthy oc'
cupation, for it brings on diseases of the
chest, spine and abdominal regions
through the constant bending of the
body and crooking of the shoulders. 1t
also strains the muscles of the hand,
wrist and forearm. After polishing
twenty pairs of boots or shoes we feel
like taking rest. We are always con-
tent when we average 81 or So apiece a
day. Many are satisfied with 81, and
when that is earned they 60 off for a
good comida. All the large and we'll
patronized stands in the city have re-
lay of men, and in several of them $40
and even $50 is taken in. These boot
black stands are valuable property.
Five years ago we paid for this small
place premium of $3.50. To-day it is
worth at least 800, and yet we don't
appear to be doing big trade, but
then, you see, we often get ten and tif-
teen cents a pair. One man, who
started in a few weeks ago with one
stand in a popular locality, has made
several thousand dollars by building
and renting new stands. In the barber
shops, as rule, the proprietors take
the ten cents charged for boot-cleaning
and pay the boys all the way from So
to $40 a week. If you want to help the
bootblack along in those places you
must tip him an extra five or ten-cent
piece. One barber | knew years ago
let his bootblack take the coin. This
boy made $75 a month at it. There s
money in the business, but there's bad
health also. San Francisco Post.
