STRICTLY PURE
Harmless to the Most Delicate!
By it's faithful use CONSUMPTION HAS BEEN
CURED when other Remedies and Physicians
have failed to effect q cure.


JEREMIAH WRIGHT, of Marion County, W. Va,
writes us that his wife had PULMONARY Con-
SUMPTION, and was pronounced INCURABLE by
their physician, when the use of Aliens Lung
Balsam ENTIRELY CURED HER. He writes that he
and his neighbors think it the best medicine in
the world
VIM. G. DIGGEs, Merchant of Bowling Green,
Va, writes, April 4th, 1881, that he wants US to
know that the LUNG BALSAM HAS CURED HIS
MOTHER OF CONSUMPTION, after the physician
had given her up as incurable. He says, others
knowing her case have taken the Balsam and
been cured; he thinks all so afflicted should give
it a trial.
DR.. MEREDITH, Dentist Of Cincinnati, was
thought to be in the last STAGES OF CONSUMPTION
and was induced by his friends to try Aliens Lung
Balsam after the formula was shown him. We
have his letter that it at once cured his cough
and that he was able to resume his practice
VIM. A. GRAHAM & Co., Wholesale Druggists,
GAINESVILLE Ohio, write us of the cure of Matthias
Freeman, Well-known citizen, who had been
afflicted with BRONCHITIS in its worst form for
twelve years. The Lung Balsam cured him, SIS it
has many others of BRONCHITIS.
1t contains no Opium i'm any form.
Recommended by Physicians, Ministers and
Nurses III fact by everybody who has given it a
good trial 1t never Fails to Bring Relief.
Call for Aliens Lung Balsam, and shun the use
of all remedies without merit and an established
reputation. AS an Expectorant it has no Equal
SOLD BY ALL MEDICINE DEALERS.

Regularity of Habit

One of the most difficult Of all the
minor habits to acquire is that Of
regularity. 1t ranks with that Of
order. "A place for everything and
everything in Its place. is not more
important that "a time for all things
and everything on time The ma
tural inclination Of most persons is
to defur until the last possible mo-
ment, or to put Off until another
time where this can possibly be
done. Yet habits Of regularity con-
tribute largely to the ease and COM
fort Of life. A person can multiply
his efficiency by it. We know per-
sons who have a multitude Of du-
ties, and who perform a vast deal
of work daily, who get apart Ger
tain hours for given duties, and are
there at the moment and attend
rigidly to what is in hand. This
done and other engagements are
met, each in order, and vast deal
accomplished, not by strainedeXer-
tion, but by regularity.
The MUD can be 50 trained to
this that at certain hours in the day
it will turn to a particular line OF
duty, and at other hours to other
and different labors. The very di-
versity is restful, when attended to
in regular order. But let these be
run together, and the duties mixed
and what before was easy is now
annoying and oppressive. And
the exact difference between many
is just at this point. There arC
those who confuse and rush and
attempt to do several things at
once and accomplish little, while
another will quietly proceed from
one duty to another, and eaSlLyac-
complish a vast amOant Of work,
The difference is not in the capaci-
ty of the two, but in the regular
methods of one, as compared Will
the irregular aud confused habits
Of the other.

A New York letter to the Boston
Advertiser says: My visits to some
of the noted watering places, and
my observation of several large
audiences since my return, has
impressed me once more with the
belief that the thinness and angu-
larity of American woman, so
much commented on by Europeans
in the past, is tast pecoming ira
itional. Theyseem to be cOmpet-
ing for fullness, not to say stout.
ness, with their old world sisters,
who almost universally acquire an
excess of flesh with the passage OF
their youth. 1t is remarkable how
few native woman, out Of glrlhoOd,
one meets nowadays in the large
cities that have preserved their
slenderness. Twenty years ago a
round, plump figure was almost the
exception. Now the exception
seems to be the other way. The
increasing avoirdupois Of the ma
ton is too conspicuous to be ignor-
ed. 1t is probably due to the
growth of wealth, and, therefore, of
ease and luxurious habits IN the
community.

ELEPHANT SAGACITY.-When
several elepaants are driven to
a bride which they are expected to
cross, they always send forward
the smallest of the company first to
try its strength. A writer In
Vanity Fair gives another surprls'
ing example Of the sagaclty OF
these animals:
| once asked an Indian road
officer what was the cleyerest act
he ever knew an elephat to per.
form; and he told me how once,
when unloading some steel tubing
from on board a ship, it was the
elephants task to carry the pipes
by means of his trunk from one
part of the wharf to another.
The pipes had been oiled to
prevent them from rusting; and
when the elephant took one up, it
slipped from his grasp. He tried
itagain with the same result, and
at last seemed to comprehend what
the reason of all this was: for he
soon afterward pushed the pipe
with his foot to where there was a
heap of sand and rolled the pipe
backward and forward. The sand,
owing to the oil, adhered to the
tube, and the elephant then put his
trunk around it and carried it with
ease. lie did the same to the re-
mainder, without aid or suggestion
from his mahOut.

Hand Shaking i'm Different
Nations.


The Scotch hand grasp is the
toughest; the Frenchman shakes
hands with the tips of stillened and
drawn.togcthcr fingers, which
signifies that he walls himsclfround
with politeness as witha fortress to
keep of intruders. Never expect
anything of a person who shakes
soft hand in limp way. ! have
had a wide experience Of false
cordiality, which was betrayed by
'old soldiers, who, in batterlng
through hotels and boarding houses
have lost all womanhoOd by hard
ened diplomatists, by persons
thankful for past favors and hoping
for favors to come, and by exhibit
tors at universal exhibitions want
ing puff. An italian, who in all
cases tries to hide bis little game,
hates to offer his hand. To avoid
doing so, when he meets an English
man he rubs both his hands slowly
together as il washing them. An
enthusiast about ideas, principles,
and systems rarely puts cordlallty
into hand.shake.
Theirs handshake, though brus-
que and dry, was not unpleasant.
That of Gambetta contrasted with
his apparent Openncss and hearth
ness, and did not express charater.

a French mis- in her teens TO offer
so much as the tips of her fingers,
whether they are gloved or not, to
a gentleman. The French lady
shakes hands in pussy-cat style,
