Thousands Hastened TO their
Graves!

ThOusaudS Hastened to their
Graves!
Relying ON testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely pulled up doctor or
patent medicine has hastened thousands to
their graves believing in their almost in
sane faith that the same miracle will be
performed on them, and that these testimo-
malls make the cures, while the so called
medicine is all the time Fastening them to
their graves. We have avoided publishing
testimonials, as they do not make the cures,
although We have
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
of them, of the most wonderful cures vol
UNFAIRLY sent us. 1t Is our medicine, Hop
Bitters that makes the cures. 1t has never
failed and never can. We will give refer
ence to any one for any disease similar to
their own If desired or will refer to any
neighbor, as there is not neighborhood In
the known world but can show its cures
by Hop Bitters.

iady patient who was complaining OF her continued

with II, as 1t cost him good patient.
FEES OF DOCTORS.
The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in. We be-
lieve the schedule for visits is 80 90, which
would tax man confined to his bed for a
year, and in need of daily visit, over
VI, 900 year for medical attendance alone
And one single bottle OF Hop Bitters taken
in time would save the 81 200 and all the
years sickness.

The Model Farmer.


He should not buy more land than
he can pay for easily, and till to advan-
tage. The hardest thing to raise on
farm is a mortgage Thirty or forty
acres carefully cultivated will prove
more profitable than two hundred on
which the same care and labor are ex-
pended.
He should not have more stock than
he can shelter well and keep in good
order through all the season. 1t is
poor economy to stint cattle through
the winter and expect them to do as
well in the coming spring as they
would under generous treatment. A
man should be merciful to his stock
not only because of moral considera-
tions but because II pays best in the
end. Cattle that are stoned by the boys,
kicked by the men and worried by
dogs, are not likely to thrive in flesh or
milk. Such treatment is silly, brutal
and every way improbable. The oc-
casions are very rare where beasts OF
burden--horses or oxen--are benefited
by the application of the rod. People
who wreak their insane fury on help
less dumb animals are at those mo-
ments something lower than beasts
themselves.
He should keep a careful account of
his income outgoes. No business can
prosper that is based on uncertainties.
Tbe habit of keeping close account
begets prudence, economy and wisdom
in management. If a man can figure
out fair profit as the result of bis
years labor it is source of satisfac.
ton and contentment If the balance
is on the other side he will ascertain
the cause of his failures and follow
new courses. "Book farming" is nc
longer despised by intelligent men.
He should make his home and its
immediate surroundings as pleasant a:
his means will permit. He should al
least take as much pride in beautifying
his home and supplying it with the
comforts and conveniences, if not the
luxuries, of life, as he does in having
fine or blooded stock and neat and
large outbuildings. A proper regard
for the happiness of those whose duties
lie chiefly within doors would dictate
this. The "matters of the house are
of primary importance, for what aftel
all is the chief end of labor but te
make the home-life happier and better
Half the dullness and monotony of life
,on the farm, driving the boys and girl
to the towns and cities, would be ban
ished If the same pains were taken to
make the home beautiful and attractive
that are taken by most residents o.
towns and cities.
The successful farmer will do hi
work in season. There is no business
where regularity is more essential thar
in farming. The merchant and the
manufacturer can cover ground lost by
neglect or inattention easier than the
farmer. The farmer who is chasing
his work all the year round, trying tc
catch up with it, is doomed to ultimate
failure.

What is Made from Paper.

One of the most remarkable uses which
paper has been put to of late years is the
manufacture of zylonite, substance
which at the will of the manufacturer,
may be made in imitation of horn, rubber,
ivory, tortoise shells, amber and even
glass. The uses to which zylonite are
adaptable are almost infinite, but perhaps
the most extraordinary is the manufac-
ture of cathedral windows. The discov.
cry was made about fifteen years ago, but
it is only within the last two years that a
company has been formed for its manu-
facture. The basis of zylonite is plain
white tissue paper made from cotton or
cotton and linnen rags. The paper is
treated first to bath of sulphuric and
other acids, undergoing chemical
change. The acid is then carefully
washed out and the paper treated with
another preparation of alcohol and cam.
phor, assuming an appearance very much
like parchment. 1t is then capable of
being worked up into plates of any thick
ness, rendered almost perfect transparent,
or given any of the brilliant colors that
silk will take. 1t is much more flexible
than either horn or ivory and less brittle.
Combs or other articles made in imita-
ton of tortoise-shell are said to be so per-
feet in appearance as to deceive the eye
of the most practiced workman in that
substance. The difference in the mate.
rial can be detected only by tests.

Marrying a Deaf and Dumb Man.

A very singular marriage was one
which took place at Leicester, in the
eightieth year of Queen Elizabeth's
reign, between Thomas Rilsby, deaf
and dumb man, and Ursula Bridget, q
hearing and talkative spinster. AS the
prayer book required that the promises
of marriage should be exchanged in
spoken words, the clergy and civil author
tiles of Leicester were unable to say how
this dumb man could be satisfactorily
married. In their perple1ity they appeal
ed to the Bishop of London, who, with
the help of another member of the cler.
gy, devised a marriage service by signs:
The bride made her promises in the usual
manner, and the groom did his part thus:
"Having first embraced Ursula with his
arms, he took her by the hand and put
the nuptial ring on her finger. He then
laid his right hand significantly upon his
heart, and afterward, putting their palms
together, extended both of his hands to
heaven. Having thus sued for the divine
blessing, he declared his purpose to
dwell with Ursula till death should sepa-
rate them, by closing his eyelids with his
fingers, digging the earth with his feet,
as though he wished to make hole in
the ground, and then moving his arms
and body as though he were tolling q
funeral bell"

A Fortune from an Accident.

Mr.. B. F. Jones, of Pittsburg, the new
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, owes his fortune to his
shrewdness in taking advantage of an
accident. About 30 years ago one of the
workmen in the rolling mill of his firm,
then Jones & Lauth, got his heavy iron
tougs, weighing about so pounds, fast to
a bar of hot iron. The bar was already
in the jaws of the rapidly whirling rolls.
There was no time to release the tongs,
and they went through the rolls under
ponderous pressure. Instead of being
crushed and broken they came out at the
other side fattened out of shape, no
more use as tongs, but bar of iron Of a
high polish and changed texture. The
firm made no fuss about it, but had
quiet consultation among themselves.
they set to work analyzing and expert:
menting. The result was that instead of
a discharge the workman who let the
tongs 20 through cold got bonus of
$4,000, and instead Of the little one.
horse rolling mill the present immense
plant was constructed. 1t is valued at
$7,00O,000. 1t makes cold rolled iron
under an exclusives patent at an i'm
mense profit, and the long head Of the
lucky firm, who was to-day made Chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, is q millionaire about ten times
over. At the time the tongs got fast be
kept the books and his partner looked
after the mill. Mr.. Lauth retired from
the firm some years ago, and when the
patent on the cold rolled process was re-
issued received 100000 from the new
firm for his share of it.-Philadelphia

No Kicker.

A young man was ushered into the
parlor, where sat his adored one. She
was gazing soulfully into the fire think.
ing Of him, no doubt, but not dreaming
of his presence. He tip.toed his ap.
proach, and slyly seizing struggling hair,
which coyly nestled in its blonde beauty
on the scruf of her round neck, gently
twiched it, and waited for the start and
naidenly blush, e pleasant surprise.
Again he drew it toward him, and again
did the fair one continue to look in the
fire. "Dear girl she knows not of my
presence" he murmured to himself.
"How glad she will be to discover her
Charles so close behind her! I will end
this suspsnse;" and gently lifting an
auburn curl from the sloping shoulders,
he tweaked as only fond lover can
tweak; and, gentle reader, you can be-
lieve us OK not, but we hope to die if he
didn't scalp her. The whole business
came of, and then she saw that Charlie
was there. Shall we draw veil over
the dreadful picture? BY no means.
Charles knew that she wore false hair,
aud he knew that she knew that he knew
it. Besides the girl was turning thirty
and worth millions. Charles was poor,
but dead in love. A. poor young man

Henry Clay's Heroic Son.

"Do you know what killed Henry
Clay ?" my genial Kentucky story.teller
asked me the other day. 'If not, will
tell you. he died of a broken heart, not
because he lost the Presidency, but his
son, Henry Clay, Jr., was his fathers
idol. He was sent to West Point, where
he graduated second in the class. After
four months in the army he resigned,
and began practicing law in Lexington,
living with his father at Ashland. Not
a young man in Kentucky promised bet
ter things than he did. When the
Mexican war broke out he was determin-
ed to 20. His father made no objection,
and he went as Lieutenant. Colonel of
the first Kentucky regiment. At the
battle of Buena Vista, Santa Anna, with
$4,000 troops, nearly overwhelmed Gen.
eral Taylor, with about one.eighth that
number. Clay fought hard, but, as his
regiment was falling back, a shot went
through both legs. He was not mortally
wounded, and three men picked him up
to convey him off the field. 1t soon
became evident that the Mexcans would
overtake them. "Save yourselves, boys"
he said, and taking the pistol which his
father had given him, he handed it 10
one of the men with the words, "Take
this, and return it to my father. Tell
him / have no further use for it," With
that they dropped him and ian after the
retreating troops. The last they saw of
Clay he was lying on his back, fighting a
squad of Mexicans with his sword.
Next morning his body was found, hack
ed to pieces and mutilated by the towards
who had killed him. The pistol came to
his father, then Senator, and, though
he lived several years after, l am con-
vinced that he died from the blow

A Republican Pie Story.

Blaine used to tell story. to express
the feelings of Republicans toward the
Administration of Mr.. Hayes, but it ap-
plies better to their feelings regarding
his own nomination. A party of young
men were camping out in the Maine
woods. One was selected to cook, and it
was agreed that the first man who
complained of the cuisine should as.
sumo the duties of cook himself. The
fare was simply atrocious, but all held
their peace with an effort. One day some
pie was served that was thought more
villianous than anything that had gone
before it. The man at the head of the
table looked around upon the faces of his
companions, and it occurred to him that
a condition nearer akin to rebellion was
pictured upon the face of his vis.a,vis
than upon the countenance of any other
of the unfortunates. Addressing him
sweetly, he said: "What do you think of
this pie ?" With the utmost emphasis
the reply came: "I think it is about the
blank blankedest pie that ever" And
then the recollection of the agreement
flashed across the speaker and, with
beaming countenance and tone of demo-
MAC delight, he fastened to add: "But [
like it."

The Southern Negroes Dog.

When you come to study the matter
you will find just as much difference
between the southern negro's dog and
the white mans dog, as there is between
a canine owned by negro and one which
comes when Senator snaps his fingers.
The Southern colored man who is too
poor to have mule, OK, pig, fowls, doors,
windows, or Fireplace in his cabin, has
dog-sometimes four or five. When
he comes to town at least one follows
him. When you pass his home the
whole family of CANNES bark at you
from distance, or silently gaze at you
from the doorstep.
The negro's dog is a slouch: He is
built on wrong principles to begin with.
1t would seem as if half of him had been
on earth for year or two before the
other half was hitched on. He seems
to realize that he isn't "purty," and he
behaves accordingly. He is almost in
variably of dun-color. He sidles along
where other dogs trot, and if he isn't
stump-tailed be is a lucky canine. He
follows along in a humble manner, as if
begging pardon for being on earth, and
the smallest whifet can scare him until
his eyes stand out like peeled onions.
You never see one misbehave in town.
He sits under the wagon, if there is one;
if not, he follows his masters heels up
and down and around in abject humility,
ready to run at the slightest alarm
ready to return as soon as danger has
passed. Step on him and he will not
show tooth speak to him and he skips
out with his tail dragging. The master
may be ever so independent, but the
dog has no business on earth. He is an
interloper. He feels this, and he sinks
and slouches, and if perchance he hap
pens to utter bark as stranger rides
up he is at once seized with the most
dreadful remorse, and away he goes for
the swamps to do pennance and convince
himself that it was purely accidental
