Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsArARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard Of its fail
ure to effect n radical cure.
Some years ago ono of Mr.. .ELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. lIor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. Tho leg became cnor
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dscharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELASDs dircc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed tho swelling, and
completely restored tho limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

SUNLIGHT.-No article Of furni-
ture that will not stand sunlight
should be put in q room for every
room in dwelling should have the
windows so arranged that some time
during the day the sunlight may en-
ter freely into the apartments. The
Importance of admitting the light Of
the sun freely to all parts of our
dwelling cannat be too highly esti-
mated. Indeed, perfect health Is
nearly as dependant onpure sunlight
as it is on pure air. Sunlight should
never be excluded, except so bright
as to be uncomfortable to the eyes.
And walking should be IN bright
sunlight. A sunlight bath is Of more
Importance in preserving healthful
condition Of the body than is gener-
ally understood. 1t is well estab-
lished fact that the people who live
much in the sun are generally strong
er and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them of
sunlight.
A PHYSICIAN who had u colored

CURED to him that the colored boy

that when the father of Il family lay

Mrs. Orville.

"Poor Gay" sald Mrs. Orville,

The bride came to the old Grey
homestead, like glimpse of spring
and sunshine. Mrs. Grey was in
clincd to be as much in love with
Gabrielle as John had been. She was
so afiectionate, so determined to love
and be loved, SO full Of pretty, coax
ing ways, that even the GRIM old
seneschal OF the castle could not but
relent.
Il am afraid, my dear" said she,
"you don't know much Of the hard

"lIardships!" echoed Gay, dancing
about. "Why, | think 1t perfectly

would, as her mother -in-law told her,
do credit to far older housekeeper,
and won golden opinions all around.
"She is a dear little creature,' said
old Mrs. Grey; and when John heard
the words he kissed his mother as he
had not done since he was fourteen.
'Mother," said Gabrielle, one day,
when she had finished darning huge
basketful Of stockings which had
haunted the elder Mrs. Grey for a
month. "nayn'tl | paint Il little this

an indefinable fear that lie was haunted.
The thing was of regular reccur-
renee, and almost every one VINO came
to Humbarger for a coffin found 1t all

began to fear the coffin maker aud the

chalk marks on his work bench the
next morning. His wife no longer
chafed him on the su ject OF his ghost

It .e morning he said to his wife
that 4 coffin had been ordered during
the night, but that the man had con-
cealed his face, and he feared that he
would not recognize him. He pro-
ceeded, however, to make the coffin
in accordance with the measurement

it to his satisfaction.

AGOOD JOKE ONTHEOLDFOLKS.
HOW AN AGED COUPLE WE'RE FOOLED BY AN
ENTERPRISING SoN-IN LAW,

From The Grant County Herald Uancaster)
| A good story is told on one of our
! prominent citizens who has been reading
Chicago daily papers for years. In fact
! he has read them so long that he has
/ settled down in the belief that there are
no other papers, worthy of the name,
/ published in the country.
/ His daughter and her husband recently
made the old folks visit, and the son in
law developed an equal enthusiasm over
rival daily. But as all his attempts to
convert the elder reader proved unavail-
ing, he adopted the following novel
method to convince his obstinate az cestor-
| IN law:
Every morning he would cut the head
ing Oft from the Chicago paper, paste it
over his own favorite, and, when DIV.
hand the combination to the old gentle.
man. After several days, during which
the deceit had not been detected the
father announced:
81 tell you, young man, my Chicago
paper has been better this last week than
ever before!'
"Why. how is that; we thought Won
claimed, before this week, that it was
impossible to improve it2''
80 [ did, but nevertheless they have
improved it. '"''
In what way"
In various ways. They have cnt out
a great mass OF the gossip from Indiana.

which L never used to read ANYHOW.
Then there Is more news from our own
State, while all nation Il and foreign mat.
ters and miscellaneous news of general
Importance are AS fully treated as ever
they were."
That is good. Are there anv mora
in JEovements?"
Yes, there are! the news is better ar
ranged and classified, the headings are
in":e accurate, and in every way il is
easier to read. Besides, there are
editorials on Wisconsin matters. and
more attention is given to our legislature
at Madlson-in short it seems to have
grown more reliable and satisfactory in
every way"
'Oh father" exclaimed the daughter.

Yes, [ did know it, too" said the

But how did you discover it so quick

Foai-Tar Chewing Gum.

The Standard Oil Company is a big
thine on wheels when you get talking
about oil, but t IS just as big relatively
speaking when yo3 get into the pro-
vince of chewing gum. They control
nearly all OF the refneries, and it is
from that the gum is evolved, so to
speak. The refiners take the residuum
from the crude oil after the refined ar
ticIe has been made and WOrt. it in an
agitator, producing certain grade OF
paraffine. a wax-like substance. This
is sent to two iirms located in Boston
and New York, who put it through an
other refining process and then scent
the stuff, cut it up into small pieces
and then retail dealers take hold OF 1t
and make thousands of giddy girls hap
py with something to chaw." The
wax, as loaded on the cars, is worth
seventeen cents pound, but when put
through the second process, its cost Is
80 cents a pound. a pound of refined
paraffine will suffice for the making OF
500 pieces OF chewing gum; so the
profit in the business is apparent when
you recollect that it retails for one and
two cents stick.-Ptttsburg Dispatch.

Mark Iwain'S English.

There is brass plate in Mark
Iwain's house on which is engraved
the sentence, The ornament OF a house
Is the friends who frequent it." 1t sur
prised me to find such a sentence, even
though on brass, in such a quarter. It's
grammatical construction may not be
deemed absolutely incorrect by some;
it evidently was not by Mark Twain;
but it is decidedly clumsy and harsh to
the ear, even if it does not violate
which l doubt, some express rule of
grammar. As the art of constructing
sentences properly is one of no mean
Importance to writer's and speakers,
would ask, does not the harshness
arise from endeavoring to make one
verb do duty for both the singular and
plural noun? The ornament is the
friends; the friends is the ornament.
Or, does not the clumsiness arise from
making the singular noun occupy a
plural position, thus expressing a rela-
tlonship beyond its capacity to bearP
This would not be the case had the SEN
tenee been, "The ornaments are the
friends, " which could be transferred to
The friends are the ornaments But
Mark Twain doubtless wished to make
the word ''friends" emphatically set
forth 1.-The ornament of his house.
Could he do SO with but one verb con-
Meeting the singular and plural noun?

Will-Power a Young Mans Fortune.

President Gates. of Rutgers College,
says: Every young man has fortune
in the fact OF his youth. The energy of
youth is unblunted by defeat, or worn
by hope deferred. With age one be-
comes more conservative and looks at
as impossible what a younger .person
would endeayor to accomplish, in many
cases with success. The effort, even if
there be failure, is a grand success.
Self-confidence, or self-conceit, if you
wish TO call it SO, is great thing. A
young mans fortune is not to be found
in inherited wealth or social position.
Every man is the arbiter of his own
fortune. Gracious manners or busi-
ness habits are good things to cultivate
but are not all. Will-power is the
young mans fortune. lis the essence
of the man. A young man with only
little wlli-power is 4 foregone failure.
1t should be cultivated. Genius is
glft OF God and should not cause pride,
but an honest pursuit of duties is an
exhibition of will-power and is some
thing TO be proud OF. Well-directed.
educated will-power is what a young
man needs.

a citizen of Pipesville, Ohio, writes
TO New York paper Of discovery
he made in regard to the distance the
sun is from the earth. The gentleman
is evidently sincere. He says: II
measure the same way we measure the
height of a tree while standing, and
being about 5000 miles north of the
equator. by taking a spirit-leyel and
a carpenters square | find the distance
to the sun is just 5000 miles from the
equator. or, il other works, 5000 miles
from the earth. | also claim the earth
is stationary, and the north pole is the
center. and the sun, moon, and stars
travel around it. By my measure the
sun is lU0 miles across the face"
