'sThe finest table in this town is one
I have here said furniture dealer
yesterday. pointing to q medium-sized
center table made of ebony, with dark
gray stone top. A glance at the top
showed that it was a perfect imitation
of the grain of a tree, where the log has
been sawed square across, including an
outline of the juncture Of limb with
the tree.
How did you contriye to mark the
stone so, or did it happen to form itself
in that wayP''
1--WE didn't make and it didn't form
itself, unless the petrifaction of tree
is called happening This is cross
section of petrified log. The petri-
fed forests found in some parts of. the
Rocky Mountain region are being util-
lied. The most beautiful stone hitherto
in use has been the Mexican onyx. 1t
had one disadvantage. Itwas impossi-
bic to get two tables to match. When
slab was sawed off the surface on one
side of the saw would polish up in one
figure an irregular star, for instance
while the surface on the other side of
the saw might look like rainbow of
three colors. An offer of $1,000 was
once made to me to match an onyx ta-
bic of unusual beauty. The single one
sold for $3.50.

You Can't Make $500 by Reading This,
even if you have chronic nasal catarrh in
its worst stages, for although this amount
OF reward has for many years been offered
by the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, for any case of catarrh they can
not cure, yet Notwithstanding that thou
sands use the Remedy they are seldom
called upon to pay the reward, and when
they have been SO called upon they have
univ ersally found that the failure to cure
was wholly due to some overlooked compi-
cation, usually easily removed by slight
modification of the treatment. Therefore,
if this should meet the eye of anybody who
has made faithful trial of this great and
world-famed Remedy without receiving a
perfect and permanent cure therefrom, that
person viii do well to either call upon or
write to the proprietors, the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of Buffalo,
N. Y, giving all the particulars and symp-
toms in the case. By return mail they will
get good advice free of all costs.

of intemperance. Perhaps she is not
aware that in the southern states con-
trolled by the Democrats there are
much fewer saloons than in the north
ern Republican states. In Pennsyl-
vania where the Republicans have had
a majority in the Legislature, and the
entire state government for many
years with but few exceptions, the
liquor traffic is legalized, and in Phila-
delpbis where Miss Willard's intem-
perate speech was made, with its 49,
900 to 10000 republican majority,
with its republican Mayor and police
force, with the courts largely controlled
by the same party, the liquor laws are
dead letter and intoxicating drinks
are sold on Sunday with perfect i'm
punity. And the same may be said OF
nearly every city in the north, and yet
this lady says that 'the Democratic
party is the open ally of the liquor
oligarchy," forgetful of the facts above
given, and wilfully ignoring the crimes
of the Whiskey ring that flourished in
the palmy days of republican admins
ton. 1t is to be regretted that such
Incorporate tongues cannot be restrain
ed. The Democratic party can stand
such criticism, but the temperance
cause cannot stand it, and can never
hope to make much progress as a poll
tical organization until the cranks and
hot heads within its ranks can be made
to undertand that its battles must be
fought on platform made for the pur-
pose of benefitting the human race, and
not as mere side show to either OF
the great political parties.
