Absolutely Pure.
Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

EdlnGI, mUeASAy dAu A0ASc 0AotOAS 0Sou'
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
at-Arms the New Jersey Senate, and new
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: MY father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption. and my
lungs were so weak | raised blood Nobody
thought I could live My work (ship-
smithing twas very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and | was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and |
had improved so much, / stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that / have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and / must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and / will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhoea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishlers Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price $1OO
per large bottle. bottles for $500.
Ask your druggist for M1sHLERs HERB BITTERs.
If he does not keep it. do not take anything else but
| send a postal card to MIsHLER HERB BTTTERs Co.,
| b25 Commerce Street, Philadelphia.

Hamlet in Cherokee
[Peck's Sun.1

In history of Florida and the Florida war is curious incident, one that would have been laughable if it had not been SO tragic. Near the close Of the W r theat- rical troupe, company of travelling barn. stormers, had played an engagement at Palatka. and started overland for St. Au. |. gustine. They did not arrive at St. Au- gustine as expected. The bills announced that they would play at certain day, ar d that they would play Hamlet" The peo- pie of St. Augustine were yearning for Hamlet" and at the appointed time they frequented the hall, but the actors did not show up. There was much indigna- ton at the time, and cutting remarks were made about a troupe that would not do as it advertised, but in the excitement of the closing hours of the war, the actors were forgotten. One day it was an- nounced that the chief of the Indians, with large party of his braves, was com ing to surrender to the commanding gen. eral, and the whole town went to the bar racks to witness what was going to be the close of the war. Presently it was said they were coming, and all eyes were turned to the pine woods, where queer scene was witnessed. The travelling theatrical company appeared to be com. ing, all dressed in the costumes of the play of Hamlet" The people wondered, until Hamlet" stepped up to the com manding general and surrendered him. self as prisoner ofwar. Then it was seen that Hamlet " was the Cherokee chiet, and the persons wearing the costumes of the king, and "Laertes," and all the rest, were braves belonging to his band. The commanding general took charge of the prisoners, and then asked why this mas querade of serious matter, and the laughter was stopped when the chief ad. mitted that he had captured and massa- cred the theatrical party as they tramped along the road, and taken the costumes, aad thinking they would be an addition to their wearing apparel, and look real nice, and please the commanding officer, they had put them on to surrender in, The general could hardly keep from laughing at the ridiculous scene, though it was atragedy. Hamlet" and the sGhost" were placed in the fort in chains, and the rest were confned@ and the clothes taken and sent to the friends of the actors. Even at this late day, people who fire. quent theaters often witness perform ance that is so bad that they wish the ac- tors would have to tramp through hos tile Indian country, to be chased little by Indians but nobody wants them mur- dered, and their clothes taken by red men. If some of the ham-fatters could travel for time through an Indian coun- try. they would have more sympathy for an audience. Think of the ludicrous scene of Hamlet sunendering to the white officers.

"The Wide, Wide World"

lAlex. N. De Menil, in St. Loxis Magazine. !
 In 1850 there appeared in New York a novel in two volumes "The Wide, Wide World" by Elizabeth Wetherell. It at once made sensation, and up to the year 1864 edition after edition was issued to meet the public demand. It is esti- mated that $50 900 copies of the work have been sold in the United States and England. It has also been translated into French, Russian, Swedish and Ger man.
 The author of "The Wide, Wide World" Miss Susan Warner, died of par alysis very lately at Highland Falls, New York, in her sixty.eighth year.
 The principal of Miss Warmers other works were: "Queechy," volumes, 1882: "American Female Patriotism" (an es- say), I852; "The Law and the Testa- men." (religiousl, 1853; "The Hills of tue Shatemuc," 1856; The Old Helmet, 1" 2 volumes, 1863. She was also joint part ner with her sister, Anna B. Warner, ("Amy Lathrop") in the production of several books.
 The London AkAsxexns, in 1886, has the following in review of Miss War ners writings: we regret to say that all the promise contained in the earlier works 0f this writer appears to have evap- orated-" It is certainly true that her first book, "The Wide, Wide World, ," is her best.
 Miss Warner is said to have been an indefatigable worker. She began writing at i've in the morning and worked on daily almost without intermission until two in the afternoon. She and her sister, Miss Anna, were at war with modern times and affected the costume of the revolutionary epoch. They lived quiet and retired life, and neither ever mar ried.

Workmen as Book Devourers.
London Standard,

Sir John Lubbock is of the opinion that the great readers of the future will be "not lawyers or doctors, shopkeepers or manufacturers, but the laborers and me- chanics," and his reason for thinking so is that the mechanic, who works with his hands, brings an uutired mind to his evening recreation, while the merchant or professional man is already knotted up with mental labor before his leisure time begins. And not only this, but the first claim on the leisure of the professional man is for bodily exercise, so that be- tween the two, the intellectual weariness on the one hand and the demands of health upon the other, his time for books must necessarily be extremely limited. This, however, is as true now as it will be forty years hence. And, as a matter of fact, it is rare to find either a man of business or professional man making the slightest effort to keep up even the small stock of literature with which he may have started in life. How can he 7? From morning till night his head is full of those details by the mastery of which 1 lives. When he has eaten his dinner, he would naturally, if he had his own way, go to sleep, and if he is not allowed to do that, it is because he is "hounded out," as MT, Oldbuck would have said. to party or theatre. When his holiday comes, he rushes off to the Alps, to Scot land, or to Wales, delighted to think that he will not be called to read line from August to November. A few men there are, no doubt, in every generation, who combine business with literature. But they are very few indeed, and if we throw in the profession of politics, we shall mend the matter only partially. McCau- lays description of Godolphin is Loeas elassiens on the subject. Sir Robert Walpole's acquaintance with letters was notoriously neither deep nor delicate. The Pelhams, the Temples, the Caven- dishes, and the Russells knew still less, and though the more brilliant luminaries of statesmanship in later times have been men of letters and schoiars-Pitt, Fox. Canning, Russell, Peel, Lord De,hy. M.. Disraei and MT. Gladstone-it seems highly unlikely that the statesmen of the future will be so too. Politics, however, is nearer akin to literature than either law, medicine, or trade. Between elo- queaee in prose and eloquence in verse there is very close alliance indeed and 1t is absolutely necessary, moreover, in our day, that the leaders of parliament should know something more of the worlds history than is contained within the four corners of morning newspaper. Still. it may be after all that Sir John Lub- book is right, and that the great devour- CTS of new books hereafter will be the workmen of our towns and villages.
