CHICKEN CHOLEI
Swept into the Stream
One Thousand Acres of Land and fright
Smart of Bears,

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged Southern planter. Indicating by a sweep
of his arm the waters the boat passing over, he
said to passenger from the North ssWhen 1 was
twelve years old | killed my first bear a new
plantation my father then cutting out of forest
that grew directly over the waters of this bend.
That was mighty good plantation, and there was
right smart of bears there, too But that one thou
sand of land went into the Mississippi years.
1t is putting strain upon the figure to say that
great forests of youthful hope, womanly beauty and
manly strength swept in the same way every
year into the great, turbd torrent of disease and
DEATH Yetit should not be so. That it is so is a
disgrace as well loss. People largely too
careless too stupid to defend their interests
the most precious of which is health. That gone,
all is gone Disease is simple but to recklessness
or ignorance the simplest things might as well be
complex as proposition in Comic Sections. AS the
hinge Western rivers, which so often food the cities
along their shores, arise in few mountain springs,
so all our ailments be traced to impure blood
and small group of disordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for dis
ease is PARKER'S TONIC. 1t goes to the sources
of pain and weakness. In response to its action,
the liver. kidneys, stomach and heart begin their
work afresh, and disease is driven out. The Tonic
is not, however, an intoXicant, but cures desire
for strong drink. Have you dyspepsia, rheumatism,
troubles which have refused to yield to other
agents? Here is your help.

ing vessels times was appalling, but
reliable statistics were never kept un-
ill vessels became insured. The
wreckiBg then was the result Of storms
and accidents along the sea cost, and
was accompanied by great loss Of life.
Steam vessels are subject to different
kinds of casualties--their loss is by
collisions with other vessels, by ex.
plosions, but they rarely run on shore
except when fogs prevail or captains
lose their reckoning. Of this large
number of steamships destroyed only
sixteen were American, while 1872
were British. This is because Ameri.
ca has practically no steam navy, and
its flag is now rarely seen upon the
ocean. Congress has been trying to
amend our laws so as to encourage the
building Of ships which will float the
American flag. But so long as labor
is cheaper in the British Isles, and
iron is more readily available for the
manufacture of vessels, there does not
seem to be much prospect of our hav
ing naval marine. II is really a
curious circumstance that the nation
with the largest coast line and the
most important ports in the world, and
greater quantity Of goods to send
abroad than any other country, should
be 50 circumstance rs to have no

Whit Docfors Do.

About once in twenty years the doc.
tors relabel all the old complaints and
give them new names. Thirty-odd
years ago pneumonia was "lung fever"
and "sciatica" plain rheumatic. I"
But complaints with these old-fash-
toned English names are bad for doc
tors. People get too we'll acquainted
with them and then they learn 10 cure
themselves. When the doctors find
them out they re-christen the whole
lot. This is done by charging gun
full of Greek and Latin words and
firing into the old complaints. Where
a shot hits the name sticks. The sick
are frightened when they are told that
these words are the matter with them
and think something new and awful
has got them.
When a doctor has tried TO cure a
sick man and cant, he tells him he's
got "malaria." Nothing readily cures
malaria but dying.
Doctors usually disagree and the
more there are of them. the more do
they disagree. No dozen of doctors
ever yet agreed entirely upon a mans
complaint-uDless he was drowned or
blew his brains out.
Every few years the doctors find out
that something they used to do is en-
tirely wrong and likely to kill more
than cure. But they stick up just the
same for whatever they are doing
now.-[New York Graphic.

John David Bowman was nearly
dead to marry, and a young lady was
procured to tell him she would make
him happy. The day was set and all
preparation made, and the license, a
magistrates warrant was procured.
The ceremony was to occur at nine in
the evening, and John David was on
hand. The moment came, the cero.
mony was said, and the couple were
pronounced man and wife. The bride
and bridesmaids were closely yelled
and the groom was assured that such
was the fashion. After they were
married dance was participated in
and the ruse was kept up until bed
time. When John proposed to retire
his bride quietly removed the veil
and dress, and there stood one of the
neighbor boys in his shirt sleeves.
John vowed vengeance for the insult
and went SO far as to procure a pistol
with which to kill the ringleaders.
He was dissuaded from his purpose.
