whats that got to do with the

Everything. When a girl falls
she's liable to lose some of her false
hair. If she does, she's too excited to
notice the fact or ashamed to pick up
the switch. glide along, pick up the
hair, and ram it into the bag. There's
always a market for good hair. See

''Yes. see; but are you never de-

Teaching Children.

A glance backward at the so-called
..good old times" will soon convince
the veriest pessimist that in the matter
of the treatment of children the world
has advanced rapidly of late. There
was time in the history of European
civilization when the father had the
power of life and death over his
children. and there are still parts of the
world where this idea is not extinct.
There was time, and it was not very
long ago-scarcely century-when
the only idea of the school was a place
where schoolmaster, armed with rod
or whip. forced unwilling youngsters
to devour the contents of books with
their eyes and regurgitate them from
their mouth in vain repetition of words,
This idea is not dead yet. because the
old style of teacher is not dead yet;
but it is dying, as dies the darkness Of
night, before the dawn of the idea that
teaches that children must be taught
to think, and that their weakness gives
no man or woman the right to ill treat
them. M,iddeiph Record.

WOndefful.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 18th, 1850
very seldom do we read of an actual
case OF recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-.
ters persons talking to their friends of q
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the com.
munity:
william Lincoln c Irtis is the name
Of the young man in question. He is now
employed at ii. X. Porter s. Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh. Pa. A wear
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into q
violent form OF chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
"He gradua ly grew worse, and in few
months the elbow ind knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the check bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu.
larly, spreading his face out Of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the emblance of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were OF
such an indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better # he was called away. At this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give ne hopes Of
recovery
"The Young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PERUNa. In two
ceptibe. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite well as he had
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
lie resumed work as machinis, at his old place,
able to perform much labor as everin his life.
"The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts. said 'Indeed. can no: look upon
the cure much less than IS miracle l do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
in recommending it to all my fricnds.'"
The pastor of the church where the Young
man atte ndcd Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the deformcd
bones, the emaciated condition from disease,
and of the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at mis- improved condition.
S aid he, - If he had not spoken, would not
have known him.
