CONSUMPTION.

Tt is said that $4,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough or
cold. and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses
of DR.. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syr-
up will relieve an ordinary cough or
cold. 1t does not dry up cough like
many preparations on the market and
leave the disease behind it, but acts
directly on the throat and bronchial
tubes, removing all the phlegm and
morbid matter that accumulates in
the throat and lungs. 1t allays all IT.
ritation. and renders the voice clear
and distinct. Sold by r. S. Freeman.

For the Happiness Of Home.
From Clergyman's Home Comes
Message Containing the Wisdom
of Eyuarieuce

Home is the centre of the social system
From it proceed the best and purest lnf1u-
ences felt in the world, and towards It grav-
tate the tenderest hopes OF humanity. For
1t all good men labor while their working
days last, and around it their last thoughts
linger lovingly when those days are done.
Yet home does not usually approach IN
practice its own ideals The mother is
overtaxed with household duties and the
rearing and training OF her children, while
the father fights the outside battle to win
the wherewithal to meet expenses Sooner
or later care and toll leave their marks. 1t
is true enough, as Kingsley sings in the
''Three Fishers" that
s.Men must work and women must weep,n
hut too much working and weeping brush
all the bloom from LIES fruit.
Mental anxiety and lack OF rest and pleas
ure induce physical diseases Of many kinds;
whence the need of trustworthy tonic to
give help and strength in times of need.
Among the good women OF the land who
have found such a sure anchor is Mrs. A. q.
George, wife OF Rev. A. G.. George, ID. d..
pastor OF the Centenary NJ. E. church OF
Chicago, whose words we have her permits
sion to quote: 81 use Parker's Ginger Tonic
in my family and can say that we are high
ly pleased with it as tonic. From my ex-
perience of its value, | recommend it as a
reliable family medicine"
Please note: first, Parker's Ginger Tonic
is not mere essence of Ginger; second, it
contains nothing to create an appetite for
Intoxicating drinks; third, it is splendid
health restorative for all who suffer from
disordered liver or kidneys or any disease
arising from indigestion and impure blood
Accept no substitute for it Prices soc. and
81 bottle 1t is cheaper to buy the larger
size. Hiscox & Co., New York.

Sketches from North Wisconsin R. R.

After an absence of i've months, as teacher,
on the North Wis. R. R., we are again at
home in Wilson, St. Croix county.
This road passes from Hudson, in moth
eastern direction, through st Croix, Polk,
Barron, Ashland and Bayfield, counties. Its
northern termini are Ashland, Bayfield, and
Superior, on Lake Superior. The distance
from St. Paul to Ashland is 100 miles. After
leaving ST. Crox county it enters new, and
until recently, uninhabited country, clothed
with immense forests of pine and hard tim
Der. Vast quantities of lumber are being
constantly shipped from mills along this line
to the south and west, thus giving labor and
capital employment, besides the additional
consideration of building up the great prai-
ries of the west,
In the recent wilderness is found the
pioneer, clothed with strength and intelli-
geuce The emblem OF American eiyillza-
ton, the school house, is also found here,
within which are all the modern appliances
Of the school room This region offers good
opportunities to the hushandman. as the soil
is rich, and is well supplied with water, I'M
DISTRACTED with stone.
But turning our attention homeward, near
Wilson, on the Chicago < Omaha line, largely
in the interest of W. II. Vanderbilt, the
millionaire, we find business growing per
manently stronger-great farms and young
cities bounding into life, as a few years ago
here reigned solitude, unbroken since the
morning of time, except by wild beasts aud
their scarce less wild pursuers, the Indians.
The winter is gone, and will be long re-
membered tor its severity. Electrical storms
