KEEP IT PURE.

TELLING LETTER
p McDougall, agent.

Here is fact for YOU to think over, viz
Medical science proves that diseases, no
matter how great a variety they seem to have,
proceed from comparatively few causes. 1t
is for this reason that some single medicines
relieve or cure so wide range of complaints
some of them appearing almost directly
opposite ia their natures. When medical
preparation acts at once upon the digestive
and urinary organs, and also purifes the
blood. the list of difficulties subject to its
control is astonishing. But, while many
things are saii Ia possess this power, these
which actually do exert IL are very rare.
Ii is conceded that d.. Kepnedy's Favorite
Remedy, of Rond"ut, N. Y, is tho most
effective preparation now IN use for all dis.
eases arising from, d foul or impure state of
the circulation. Hence it is more than likely
that if the writer of the following letter had
habitually taken "Favorite Remedy" ten
years ago, he would never have suffered
from Cancer.

ANDrOachjnr Earthuuakes.

The earthquake shocks which were
felt last week over a wide area i'll York
shire remind us that an authority on the
subject Of those phenomena, NJ. Eclau-
nay, Of Paris, is of opinion that next
year will see the recurrence OF uphcava.s
Of the carth's crust in an intensified form.
NJ. Dclaunay is a prophet Of evil, but
unfortunately all his prophecies have
hitherto come true. Ills specially Is
earthquakes, and he predicts them only
too surely. In 1877 lie announced that
that year would not conclude without
disturbances OF the earth, and as q mat
ter of fact, two frightful catastrophcs on
the coasts of South America followed.
In 1888 NJ. Dclaunay again pointed to
approaching earthquakes, and soon
after the volcanic cruptions in the lndian
archipelago occurred, by which thous-
ands Of human beings lost their lives,
and hundreds of square miles of terra
tirma were engnlfcd by the SEA. Toward
the end of last year VI. Delaunay once
o raised his warning voice, and the
earthquakes in Spain proved how well
founded were his warnings. Quite re-
Gently he has prophcsicd very severe vol
canic disturbances for 1886. Having
acquired a wcll-meiitcd notoriety in
foretelling earthquakes, some weight
ought TO lie attached to NJ. D%claunay's
ut%tcranccs. lie alfirms that next year
these natural phenomena will be of a
very intense character, and that they will
show themselves either when the earth
is under the direct influence of a planet
of the first rank, such as Jupiter, or
under that of Il group of asteroids, or
at a time when sun and moon are near
est to our planet at the same time

Making Cigarettes.

GLOW many cigarettes car a girl make
in a dayl' was asked of q manufacturer
recently.
THAT depends upon how nimblc her
fingers are, A smart, quick girl eau
make about $500. The pay is from
seventy to eighty cents per 1000, ac-
cording to the grade of cigarettes made.
There are very few girls who can make
more than 1000 per day. Making the
cigarettes looks easy enough, but if You
should try it You would find it very hard
and tedious. When a girl goes to her
work in the morning she receives a small
bundle of papers and two and three.
quarter pounds OF tobacco, from which
she must make 1000 cigarettes. \ small
piece Of extra heavy paper about twice
the size of a cigarette paper is used in
rolling q cigarette. One edge is pasted
fast to a piece of marble or smooth flat
stone about one foot square that is on n
table. A stick about a foot in length
and abou. as thick as q match is used to
paste with. The paste is made OF pure
starch and water. The cigarette paper
is laid on the heavy paper, and Il small
quantity of tobacco is put on it. Then
the edge of the heavy Paper is turned
over. and, by sliding the fiat OF the hand
over it, the cigarette is rolled. Then the
paste stick is run over one edge Of the
cigarette paper, and one more roll com
plctcs the cigarette. After the ends are
cut of it is ready for The trade.
Great canton must be used when roll
ing and FASTING, for if any were pasted
crooked or soiled in any manner, or made
too hard or too soft, the thousand would
be returned to the maker, who would
have to make them over again. This
happens very often, and is q loss of sew
cral hours to the maker. There may be
plenty Of enjoyment in smoking cigar
cites, but there is non in making them.

astonishing ricksnaw coolies. They wear
the enormous traditional mushroom
Chinese hat, suitable in case either OF

for even a coolic would feel himself dis

are barc-footed, bare.lcgged, bare-armed,
and wear just sufficient rags to save
themselves from the charge of indelicacy.
Their skins are sallow, their Monaghan
faces are pinched, their stature is small,
their limbs seem attenuated and loosely
put together. And yet these demonical
looking wrctches, to call whom ''brcth.
