ALLUDING to the assertion that the
Maine victory was won by the Republic
cans with money, the Washington Re-
publican says; "'rhe Democratic organs
scream bribery and corruption every
time they are forced to allude to the late
election in Maine, but they fail to pub
llsh the market rate of Maine Democrats.
1t is not probable that they GENE any
higher than Indiana Democrats, where,
by the admission Of Chairman Barnum,
they are on sale at 50 head. Nothing
has transpired to make Democrats any
more valuable this year than they were
in 1880. Two dollars is the standard
price by common consent. Such being
the case, Republican success is simply a
matter of finance, according to the con-
fession of the party whose votes are on
sale"

The Poultry World thinks it more
profitable to raise eggs than chickens.
This is what il says I've make no allu-
sion to those large establishments where
raising chickens as chickens for a near
city market is undoubtedly paying bust
ness. But we address the common poul-
try raiser, living perhaps a considerable
distance from market, who wishes to
make the most of his stock. And to such
we say raise every pullet your premises
will accommodate. Treat them in such a
manner that they will lay early and con-
stantly through the winter, and you will
make more money than YOU can by rails
ing chickens to sell for broilers unless at
the fancy prices that such things bring in
cities Most country breeders have
no such market for what they chance to
have to sell and the small prices they OBJ
tain at the country hotel or the house of
the wealthy citizen. by no means pays for
the extra trouble and care that early
chickens cost. OF eours, it you have a
large humber of fowls, there would nee
essariiy be cockerels and old hens to fatten
for sale, but do not make it your business
10 sell dead stock instead of making live
hens give you hundreds of eggs every
wear of their lives" The above contains
much truth, though we cannot admit that
there is not a large per cent of profit in
raising chicks for our home markets.

moment Ashleigh gazed, then touched the
physicians arm as he left the room.

The poor, poor child Her father it was.
He saw it all now, and bow distinctly her
words returned to him-"No friends, no

desolate she must be. But-but-'I will

to the woman.

A faint sound-the pale lips moved and
the girl leaned over to catch the words:
"God-have mercy-on-my little-an-
GEL"
Ashleigh. too, bent forward. and the
dying man turned his eyes as if drawn by
spell to the new face at his side. wen
del-care for her-our-little angel" and
his eyes again rested upon her. but only
moment the next-he was gone.
A time of perfect stiffness reigned
through the place. Then. the good woman
as is wont with her class, began to moan
and cry, but Ashleigh spoke quickly.
"Where can she gop"
| ITO the next room, SIR" she answered.
plaintively. ''Only the two children is
there she can go. an welcome.''
"Get help and do what is necessary"
he said quietly. Then. laying his hand
upon the bowed head. Come away. All
is over" Most reverently he took the
beautiful hand, which. until now, he had
never touched-and led her away. The
woman opened the next door. and the two
went within. As tenderly as though she
were some high-born child of fortune, he
drew a chair near the open window and
placed her there. Then, with a pitiful
motion of despair. she laid her folded arms
upon the sash and bowed her head. and
the passionate tears gushed forth. He sat
helpless in the presence of her grief and
desolation, thinking of the strangeness of
his position, and yet conscious of the i'm
preston that it was not as though any
woman of his own circle of acquaintance
sat BY his side. No convention rules or
regulations could apply to them or en-
barrass their intercourse. Her forlorn
condition awakened only chivalrous
sympathy. as though it were some child
appealing for his aid. Some such thoughts
were present when he laid his hand ten
derby upon the shining hair. when he took
so gently the unresisting hands in his o. q.
and said:
TRY to be calm. You must tell me OF
yourself, that l may know how to help

Disease of the Money Counters.

A Washington correspondent. visiting the
Treasury Department, noticed that many of
the women employed in counting bank notes
looked i'll, and had sores upon their hands or
heads. The superintendent gave the fol-
lowing account of the trouble "Verv
few" he said, "who spend any consid
cradle time in counting money escape tn e
sores. They generally appear first on the
hands, bnt frequently they break out on the
head, and sometimes the eyes are affected.
We can do nothing to prevent this. All of
the ladies take the greatest care of themselves
in their work. but sooner or later they are
afflicted with sores. The direct cause of the
| sores is the arseuic employed in the manufac-
ture of the money. II the skin is the least
abraided, and the arsenic gets under the
flesh. sore will appear the next morning.
The habit that every one has of putting the
hand to the head and face is the way the
arsenic poisoning is carried to those portion
of the body. 'See here" said one of the
officials. stopping by the side of young lady
and picking up 4 glass vessel containing q
sponge; '',his sponge is wet, and is used to
moisten the fingers while counting the money.
You see how black 1t is. That's arsenic.
Every morning a new piece of sponge ID
placed on the desk of each employee, bu,
before the day is over it is as black as this
have known half a dozen cases where
lsdies have been compelled to resign theil
positions. There are three ladies who we're
mere six years before they we're afflicted with
sores. About three months ago they we're sc
visited BY them that they had to quit work
They have been away ever since, and the
physicians certificate in each case SAYS thai
| their blood is poisoned With arsenic"

Remedy for Stumbling Horses.

Some good horses are addicted to
stumbling while walking or moving in a
slow trot. says the Stockman. A well
versed veterinarian states that there are
two causes that would tend to produce
this faulty action; one a general weakness
in the muscular system, such as would be
noticed in tired horse the other a weak
ness of the exterior muscles of the leg
brought about by carrying too much weight
on the toe. To effect cure. he adds,
Tighten the weight of each front shoe about
tour ounces; have the toe of the shoe
made If steel instead of iron. it will wear
longer: have it rounded off the same as it
would be when one-third worn out, in order
to prevent tripping; allow one week s
rest; have the legs showered for few
minutes at time with cold water through
hose. in order to create a spray then
rub dry briskly. from the chest down to
the foot Give walking exercise daily this
week. for about an hour, twice a day.
When you commence driving again omit
the slow together walk or send him
along at a sharp trot for mile or two.
then walk again. but do not speed for at
least several weeks. BY this means the
habit of stumbling from either of the
above causes will be pretty well overcome.

Advantages that AYERS SARSAPARiLLA
Possesses over all Others.

1t has been before the public for nearly
in popular favor, both at home and
abroad, until there is hardly place in the
civilized world where it has not host of
friends, made so by its marvellous cures.
IL has been used in. and approved by.
at least 100000 families in the United
States, and ,0OO, 900 throughout the world.
Women have especial reasons for COM
mending it.
It has proven its potency in curing
obstinate, deeply-seated, and long-stand-
ing diseases CEASED by vitiation of the
blood. 1t must net. however. be ex-
pected and is not claimed that single
bottle will cure such cases; but patients
should persevere in the use Of this remedy
until radical cure is effected.
1t is the only blood-purifier that has won
and retained the confidence of the people
OF all tropical countries. where such medi-
cines are much required.
1t is the only medicine of its class that
sailors, as a rule, have any faith in-and

Mr.. Chaplin's bill to prohibit the importa-
ton of cattle entirely from countries where
the foot and mouth disease exists was de-
feated in Parliament by 81 majority. but
the fact that II had many supporters indi-
Gates how little the English farmers are
satisfied to have ..the roast beef OF Old
England brought across the sea. This
war against horned cattle is not, like the
war against the hog. aimed principally at
this country, for. out of $4,000 horned
animals imported by Great Britain last
year, only about 100000 seem to have
come from this country. But our ship
ments Of fresh beef to that beef-eating
country amounted to S6.343 tons-nearly
two and a half pounds for every inhabi-
tant of the British Islands. Including the
live cattle, we probably furnish John Bull
more than five pounds of beet for every
inhabitant OF Great Britain.

Alternative. diuretic. and tonic drugs known
in pharmacy. among which are the
genuine Honduras SarsaParilla, Yellow
Dock, Stillingia, and the Iodides OF Potas-

1t is highly concentrated medicine,

produces effects on the system often worse
than the diseases they are offered 10 cure.
