MOTHERS
n friend!

This invaluable prep
aration is truly Il tri-
lumph of scientific skill,
and no more inestimable
benefit was ever bestow-
ed on the mothers of the
world.
mS- 1t not only short
ems the time Oflabor and
lessons the intensity OF
pain, but, better than
all, it greatly diminishes
the danger to life of both
mother and child, and
leaves the mother in a
condition highly favor
able to speedy recovery,
and far less liable to
flooding, commissions,
and other alarming
symptoms incident to
lingering and painful
labor. Its truly Won
dertul efficacy in this re-
spect entities the MoTH-
ER'S FRIEND to be rank
ed as one the life-sav-
ing appliances given to
the world by the discOv-
cries of modern science.
From the nature of
the case it will of course
be understood that we
cannot publish certiti-
Gates concerning this
Remedy without wound
ing the delicacy of the
writer's. Yet we have
hundreds of such testi-
monials on file, and no
mother who has once
used it will ever again
be without itin her time
of trouble.

NOT To BE OUTDONE.-At Potaluma, a
small milk-can station on the Napa road, a
fervent appeal was made last Sunday, by
the pastor of the proposed church there for
funds to build the said edifice. Not cow
puncher moved. The entire congregation
of teat-squeezers seemed wrapped in slum-
Der. AS the minister gazed mournfuliiy
around hen suddenly flew out of the old
plug hat, used as contribution box, making
terrific cackling.
The pastor approached the hat and beheld
a new-laid egg.
Holding up the hen fruit, he exclaimed
sarcastically:
"She has contributed her all. Will you
allow yourselves to be outdone by hen ?'
The effect was electrical!
In less than twenty minutes there was
over forty-fve cents in the pool.-'Sas Fran

He used to come every day and beg the COM
mandant to giveit to him. At length Gen

and the officer told the Apache that he must
ask him for it. He did. The general look
ed at it, saw itwas of no use, and presented
it to him.
II am afraid" said the general, with
mild jocosity, "you want the cannon so that
YOU can turn it on my soldiers and kill
them."
"Umph! no. Cannon kill cowboys. Kill

nervous temperament, and cannot stand the
slightest excitement. She is devoted to her
father and they correspond regularly, but
she has received no letter from him for
three weeks. The reason why she has re-
ceived no letter is simply because ne died
suddenly about three weeks ago. Nose was
afraid to let her know anything about it,
and the burden of apprehension growing
heavier every day, he confded the secret to
Sam Levy, his cousin, and requested him to
break the news gently to Rebecca. Sam
promised to do so, saying that he had great
deal of tact He called next day, and as
soon as he was seated Mrs. Schaumburg told
him that he was very anxious about her
father, Solomon Meyer, he not having writ

something had happened to him. "No, l

THOUGHT AND LABOR.-RuSkin says 1T
is no less fatal error to despise labor, when
regulated by intellect, than to value it for
its own sake. We are always in these days
trying to separate the two; we want one
man to be always thinking and another to
be always working, and we call one q gen.
tleman and the other an operatives; whereas
the workman ought often to be thinking and
the thinker often to be working, and both
should be gentlemen in the highest sense.
AS it is, we make both ungentle, the one Ell:
vying, the other despising his brother, and
the mass of society is made up of morbid
thinkers and miserable workers. Now, tits
only by labor that thought can be made
happy; and the professions should be liber-
al, and there should be less pride felt in pc
culiarity of employment and more in excel
lence of achievement.
nag- A New Orleans doctor calls attention
to very simple fact which merits atten-
tion from medicine takers. If the medicine
is mixed with very cold water, and a few
swallows of the water be taken as a pre-
paratory, the nerves of the organ of taste
become sufficiently benumbed to make the
medicine nearly tasteless.
