it be known that they would enforce

The ORIGIN of a Word.

Many words in the English Ian
guage are of curious origin. Some
have taken their origin from men,
events or places. For instance the
word, 'Cabal, meaning, ga number
of persons united for some purpose"
dates back to the time of Charles
II. He was a very able foreigner at
the beginning of his reign, but, af-
forwards, cared more for festivities
than for the welfare of his subjects.
When the money in the treasury
was very low, he undertook a war
with Holland, but was forced to
make a treaty of peace.
In order to protect the people,
five ministers, Clifford, Arlington,
Buckingham, Ashley and Lauder
dale were chosen in 1868. These
ministers made their meetings Sc
cret and divulged nothing to the
public. All proclamations issued
were signed with the initials, only,
of the ministers and appeared at
the bottom, thus, G. A. B. A. L.
The people became so used to this
signature that they always called
them the Cabal. Hence, the word
went into general use to signify a
clique.-The Fountain.

your PERUNA for one month. The neu-

GA very much"
c. E. Dupler, aged thirty-four years, of
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
a chronic catarrh which ne first discov-
cred six years ago. In succession he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The disease
was so malignant that not only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition Of the nose and seriously affected
The external parts. He could only hear
watch ticking by holding it close to his
ear. He suffered intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor fell. In this condition he presented
himself to DR.. Hartman several months
ago. He can now hear a watch eight
inches from his right and six inches from
his left ear. His taste and smell are again
returning, and the external part OF the
nose Is quite well. Few more grateful
patients ever left physicians office than
MIR. Dupler lie said, Why in the
world was PERUNA not prescribed for
me long ago:
Cramps Of the Stomach.
We have the privilege of reporting the
following case. Those similarly affected

wonderful" The suffering and distress
Of this lady was indescribable and almost
unendurable After all the physicians
and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost fled. DIR. Hartman was con-
suited, and from the first day of taking
his PERUNA, the cramps and all bad
feeling left her, and now for over month

The Century Plant,

This plant grows wild in South
America. The thorny leaves form
hedges through which no animal
can force it's way. From It's fibres
can be made the finest thread or
strongest rope. The juice can be
boiled into soap which will mix
with salt or fresh water. The juice
will make a strong drink. The
leaves can be used to sharpen razors
and knives, or to scour the pots
and kettles in the kitchen. 1t will
bloom in ten or twelve years, but
then it dies. The belief is preva-
lent among many people that this is
why it is called the century plant,
but the fact is as above stated

The Bible Revision.

The preparation of new version of
the bible was initiated by the convOca-
tion of Canterbury, England, in Febru-
airy, 1870. In May of that year COM
mittee of eight bishops and eight pres
byters were appointed, with power to
add to their numbers, 1t was wisely
decided not to limit the workers to one
denomination, but to invite eminent
scholars from the other evangelical
sects OF Great Britain. The commits
sion was divided into two parts, to one
of which was assigned the revision of
the old testament and to the other the
new. In 1871 American scholars were
invited to participate and an American.
committee was formed, which began
work in October, 1872. The British re-
visers sent their work to the American
committee who examined 1t and re-
turned it with their Suggestions. II the
suggestions were not adopted they
were TO be presented to the public as
an appendix to the revised version.
made except by two-third vote of the
commission. The new testament revis-
ion was Published in 1881, :and the
immediate sale went as high as 1000
600 copies in four days. 1t has received
and withstood much criticism and the
best biblical scholars believe it is stead
lily winning it way.
At the head of the American commit
tee for revising the old testament was
Prof. George E. Day, of New Haven,
the eminent Hebrew scholar. He is
enthusiastic over the forthcoming YER
sion and believes it will surely, al
though probably slowly, take the place
of the King James version.

Sound Advice,

Jim Webster was brought up be-
tore an Austin justice of the peace.
1t was the same old charge that us
ed to bother him in Galveston. AT
ter the evidence was all in, the Judge
with a perplexed look, said;
But do not comprehend, Web

steal those chickens when they
we're roosting under the owners
window, and there were two vicious
dogs in the yard.

THE PULASKI CITIZEN
POULTRY DEPARTMENT.

A little salt in the soft food given
the fowls is acceptable to them. 1t
should not exceed in quantity the
amount of food for the table.
Don't allow the little chicks to
wade around in the wet grass.
They are not able for such exhaus-
tive exercise. Confine the hen if
she is inclined to lead them too far.
A complete food for poultry is
recommended by prominent
breeder as consisting of all the Gle
ments required for growth and eggs
1t is to take one quart of wheat
and grind in a coffee mill. Then
add one quart of corn meal, two
pounds of beef scraps, boiled ten
der, and two or three raw onions.
Mix thoroughly, bake till done,
and crumble up for the fowls.
Young chickens Matched during
the heat of summer do not thrive as
we'll as earlier broods. One reason
is that there are apt to be troubled
with vermin, especially if confined.
Eggs laid in the heat of summer
have less vitality than those laid
earlier. Later in the season the
chickens are stronger. Were 1t not
for the approaching winter, Septem
Der and October would be the very
best months to set fowls.

There is an opinion held by
some that chicks Matched in June
never do any good. Last season
the experiment was tried, and hon
esty compels it to be said that only
three chicks were brought to matu
rity out of eleven. They did
splendidly until three weeks old
when they began standing around

without cause, and nothing would

What to Read When the Day is
Over,

1t is wise at night, says Canon
Kingsley, to read, but for a few
minutes, some book which will COM
pose and soothe the mind; which
will bring US face 10 face with the
true facts of lite, death and eterni-
ty; which will make us remember
that man doth not live by bread
alone; which will give us, before we
sleep, few thoughts worthy of a
christian man with an immortal
soul in him. And, thank God, no
one need go far to find such books.
L do not mean merely religious
books, excellent as they are in these
days. l mean any books which
help to make US better, and wiser,
and sober, and more charitable per-
sons; any books which will teach
US to despise what is vulgar and
mean, foul and cruel, and to love
what is noble and high-minded,
pure and just. In our own
English language we may read by
hundreds of books which will tell
us of all virtue and of all praise.
The stories of good and brave men
and women; of gallant and heroic
actions; of deeds which we our
selves should feel proud of doingi
of persons whom we feel to be bet
ter, wiser, nobler, than we cur
selves.

Right, Not Privilege.

Every boy who has read "Tom
Brown at Rugby" admires the he
ro's sturdy independence, his scorn
of falsehood and his love of out
door sports. But every honest read
er of the book feels that the most
manly part of Toms character is
disclosed in the scene where he
kneels down in the face of the whole
dormitory of boys and says his
prayers.
The scene has been repeated in
other schools since then. But eve
ry boy who has had the courage to
pray openly when he knew he ought
can testify that it was one of the
hardest things he ever did. There
are several ways of doing this rev.
erential act. 1t may be made IN
necessarily demonstrative, or it
may be performed so as to extort
the respect of the boys.
In large and respectable school
near Boston, two boys, from differ
ent states and strangers to each
other, were compelled by circum-
stances to room together. 1t was
the beginning of the term and the
two students spent the first day in
arranging their room and getting
acquainted.
When night came the younger of
the boys asked the other if he did
not think it would be a good idea
to close the day with a short read
ing from the bible, and a prayer
The request was modestly made,
without whining, or cant of any
kind. The other boy, however,
bluntly refused to listen to the pro-
posal.
"Then you will have no objection
if pray by myself, 1 suppose?"
said the younger. cit has been my
custom and l wish to keep it up"
~ don't want any praying in this
room and won't have itp' retorted
his companion.
The younger boy rose slowly,
walked to the middle of the room,
and, standing upon a seam in the
carpet which divided the room
nearly equally, said quietly:
"Half of this room is mine. 1
pay for it. You may choose which
half you will have. 1 will take the
other, and l will pray in that half,
or get another room. Pray must
and will, whether you consent or
refuse"
The older boy was instantly con-
quered. To this day he admires
the sturdy independence which
claimed as a right what he had
boorishly denied as privilege. A
christian might as we'll ask leave
to breathe as to ask permission to
pray. There is a false sentiment
connected with christian actions
which interferes with their free ex-
ercise. If there is anything to be
admired it is the manliness which
knows the right and dares do it
without asking any ones permits
