ECZEMA!

For the benefit of suffering humanity. l
deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited
testimony in favor OF Swift's Specific. My
wife has been afflicted with Eczema from in
fancy. We tried every known remedy, but to
n avail. She was also afflicted with peri
cd cal nervous headache, sometimes followed
by an intermittent fever, so that her life be-
came a burden 10 her. Finally determined
TO try Swifts Specific. She commenced seven
weeks ago. After taking the first large bot
tie the disease seemed to increase; the burn
ing, itching and Inflammation became I'M
bearable. she, however, persevered in the
use of the medicine. After taking the second
bottle the iudamm alton began to subslde.
After the third bottle the Inflammation dis
appeared and sore spots dried up and turned
white aud scaly, and finally she brushed them
OF in an impalpable white powder resem bling
pure salt. She ia now taking the sixth bottle;
every appearance of the disease is gone, and
her flesh is soft and white IA a childs. Her
headaches have disappeared aud rhe enjoys
the only good health she has known in 40
wears. No wonuer she deems every bottle of
8. 5. 5. is worth thousand times its weight
in gold.
ANY further information concerning her
ca e will be cbeertully given by herself at her
residence, 1876 Mullett street, or by ME.

wife's Appeal to Her Husband.

You took me, Henry, when girl, into your,
home and heart, ,.,.,
To bear in all your after-fate fond ana faith-,
And tell me, have 1 ever tried that duty to-
forego,
Or pinned there was not joy for me when you
We're sunk in woe?
No, would rather share your Srie1 IMAM other
peoples glee;
For though YOU'RE nothing to the world, you re,
all tho world to me;
You make q palace of my shea, the rougn-
hewn bench throne,
There's sunlight for me in your smile, ana
music in your tone.
/ look upon you when you sleep-my eyes
with tears grow diml
cry, 20 Parent of the poor, look down from
heaven on him!
Behold him toll from day to day, exhausting
strength and soul,
Look down in mercy on him. Lord, for Thou
canst make him whole"
And when Mt last relieving sleep has on my
eyelids smiled,
How oft are they forbid to close in slumber
Itake the little murmurer that spoils my span
of rest,
And feel it is a part of thee hold upon my
breast.
There's only one return Gravel may not
need it long
And it may soot6e thee when I'm where tho
l ask not for a kinder tone, for thou vert ever
kind;
1 ask not for less frugal fare-my fare do not
mind.
I ask not for more gay attire-if such as have
got
Suffice to make me fair to thee, form muir
muir not;
But should ask some share of hours that you
in toll bestow;
OF knowledge that you prize so much, may L
not something know
Subtract from meetings amongst men each
eve an hour for me;
Make me companion for your soul, as l may
surely be;
If you will read, III sit and work; then think,
when you're away.
Less tedious shall find the time, dear Henry,
OF your stay.
A meet companion soon I'll be for cen your
studiouS hours,
And teacher of those little ones you call your
cottage flowers!
And if we be not rich and great, we way be
wise and kindi
And as my heart can warm your heart, so
may my mind your mind!

A Good and a Bad Horse.

The difference between a good animal
and bad is shown by the fact that,
whereas probably $4,000 guineas would
not buy St. Simon or St. Gatien, horses
that some one has thought it worth
while to keep in training are sold at
times for Flo and even less. Theoreti-
cally, such creatures as those last have
no business on race course. They
can scarcely be expected to improve the
breed of horses, the avowed object of
racing; nevertheless, it does sometimes
happen that blood tells in an astonish-
ing manner, that the offspring of horse
which has been utterly useless for rae
ing purposes does wonders. The dam
of Robert the Devil was supposed to be
worthless; the dam of Florence, one of
the very best mares on the turf, dragged
a cart; to go further back, Lord George
Bentinck in 1887 was laughed at and
derided for giving 81 guineas for COM
mon-looking old mare of 81 and her
ill-shaped foal, but the foal was Cruel
fix, perhaps the best mare that ever ran.
OF her the story is told that lady to
whom Lord George showed her one day
said that she did not like the name
"Ill change it the first time she is
beaten" her owner answered; but she
was Crucifx to the end, and her bones,
with those of the equally great Bay
Middleton, rest at Danebury in little
flower garden which is tended with spe-
cial care in honor of the fame of the
two animals whose names occupy SO
honored share in turf history. The

The Squirrel and Her Babies.

Old citizens of Toledo distinctly re-
member the time when there was an
emigration of squirrels in this vicinity.
A certain day gentleman was on the
bank of the Ten-Mile Creek when the
number of squirrels moving was unus-
ually large. Among the squirrels was
one that exhibited such motherly care
and affection for her two little ones as
to prove most interesting sight. She
reached the bank of the creek where a
crossing was to be made. The little
squirrels were quite timid about going
near the water, but the mother coaxed
them until they seemed to be satisfied
to do as she wished. She ran along the
shore, and finding piece of bark about
a foot long and six inches wide, drag
ged it to the waters edge and pushed it
into the water so that only small part
of one end of the bark was resting on
the shore. She then induced. her little
ones to get on the bark, and they at
. once cuddled closely together, when
the old squirrel pushed the bark and its
load into the stream. and, taking one
end of the bark in her teeth, pushed it
ahead of her until the opposite bank
was reached, where the young squirrels
quickly scampered up the bank of the
creek, where the mother rested for a
few minutes, when the journey was re-
sumed.- Toledo Blade.

In An African Villa ge.

The busiest time in an African village
is when the long laboring wains drawn
by spans of Is or 90 oxen are out
spanned on the village commonage, and
the UroatW makes her three months pur-
chases of tea, sugar, and the inevitable
coffee. This latter beverage is the bev-
erage par excellence of South Africa.
Coffee venlente die, coffee decedente die
is the rule. The stores themselves in a
South African village are not the least
remarkable feature about it. Almost
everything that the wit of man can de-
wise for the need of an agricultural pop
ulation is there. There is a silk dress
for the newly married wife, an Ameri-
can plow for the young and enterpris-
ing farmer, there is Remington rifle
for the sportsman, and Il box of pepper
