MOTHERS
 FRIEND!

Thls invaluable prepara- ton Is truly a triumph Of scientific skill, and no more inestimable benefit was ev- CT bestowed on the mothers of the world.
 Ek4y~It not only shortens the time of labor & lessens the intensity of pain, but, better than all, it great ly dImiuishes the q anger 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, conyulsions. and other alar- ming symptoms incident to long and painful labor. Its truly wonderful efficacy in this respect entities the MOTHERS FRIEND to be ranked as one of the life-sa- wing appliances given to the world by the discoveries of modern science.
 From the nature of the case, it will of course be under stood that we cannot pub fish certificates concerning this REMEDY without woun- ding the delicacy of the wri- ters. Yet we have hundreds of such testimonials on file, and no mother who has once used it will ever again be without it in her time of trouble.

 We have adopted the plan of placing the bulk of our advertising INSIDE of the bottle and corking it up, while others do all their work on the outside.

A RAILROADER SPEAKS.

My wife has been great sufferer from Catarrh. Several physicians and various patent medicines were resorted to, yet the disease continued unabated, nothing appearing to make any Impression upon it. Her con stitution finally became implicated, the poison being in her blood.
 1 secured bottle of B. B. E. and placed her upon it's use, and to our surprise the improvement began at once, and her recovery was rapid and complete. No other prepara- tion ever produced such a wonderful change, and for all forms of Blood Disease 1 cheerfullv recommend B. B. E. as superior Blood Purifier.

BETTER THAN QUININE. Dr. Duncan's Chill Tonic is tn

best chill cure known. It is much bet ter than quinine or any other chill ton ic now on the market, because it is a fine blood tonic combined with the most powerful antiperiodics, or chill cure known. It is combined with Iron which tones and builds up the blood and the whole system, while it breaks up the chill. Hence the chills do not return, because the system is much stouter and healthief tbanw hen broken with quininc, Use it in all forms of malarial fever as you would quinine. Price, 75 cents.

DIR. c. P. DUNCAN'S LIVER AND KIDNEY MEDICINE.

The great superiority of this medicine over all other Liver Medicines, cohsists in the com bination Of those vegetable compounds, which possess the wonderful powers of arousing all the secretions of the whole human system to a natural and healthy acton. 1t acts upon the liver directly and at the same time sets up 4 proper secretion of those glands sitnated in the stomach and bowels. 1t is locking mp of the secretions of these glands that brings dys- pepsia, indigestion. sour stomach. heart-burn, palpitation of the heart. vertigo or swimming of the head sick or nervous headache, consti- patton of the bowels accompanied at the same time with pains in the shoulders, back sides limbs. To treat the above symptoms iniclli- gently and successfully, as in all other cases, you must use the medicine, that strikes at and removes the causes from tue system that pro- dnce and bring disease. This Is eiEcetnallA done with Dr. hnnsan's Liver and Kidney Medicine. Price 70 cents.

GRENADINES.

The Fabrics Which Obtain Favor With the
Younger Moiety of the Beau Monde.
Youthful dresses are made of cream
white grenadine with satin surface, on
which are brocaded flowers in open
lace-like meshes, with threads of color
red, blue or yellow-seen in the
flower. There are also pure white
grenadines, called ribbon grenadines
that show narrow open stripes beside
satin or repped stripes like narrow rib
bons. These have basque made over
a low silk lining, and the sleeves are
not lined. The grenadine in front is
gathered to the plain back in the
shoulder seams, and this fullness is laid
in pleats below the bust, extending to a
point. This leaves a V-shaped neck,
which is filled in with Valencennes
lace laid in puff and frill, and fastened
on the bust with loops of narrow satin
ribbon. The skirt has scarfs draped
across the front, and pointed back
drapery of many pleats, finished merely
with hem. Across the front and
sides Of the skirt below the scarfs are
four finely pleated frills of the grena-
dine, with satin ribbon stitched on the
edge.
Chartreuse green, ecru, lavender
and brown are the colors seen in bro
cadcd satin grenadines. Very distin-
guished-looking dresses are made of
the new shade of grenadine
trimmed with black thread lace, inser-
tions Of the same lace, and much wide
green velvet ribbon. Such a dress
should be made over green satin.
Two black lace founces are put across
the front of the skirt and four founces
on the back breadths. A deep apron
of the green grenadine is made of two
breadths that have black lace set on
each edge Qike insertion) down the
middle of the front, and the scalloped
edges of this lace should rest on band
of green velvet ribbon; this is sewed
permanently to the skirt above the lace
fiounces, and is caught in high loops
on the hips. Two breadths quite sep
arate form open pointed drapery be-
hind, and are bordered with velvet rib
bon and lace; the black lace founces
show in the space between. The gren-
adine basque has lace and velvet ar
ranged in V-shape in front and back;
the sleeves are finished with frills of
lace, and there is a double fall of lace
on the basque at the back, with loops
and forked ends Of velvet ribbon set
amid the gathers. The bonnet for this
dress is Of black lace trimmed with
green velvet and pale yellow roses

N the early days OF Methodism in Scot

only when we are personally alarmed at

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-The PresI-
dent at few minutes past eleven o'clock
this morning issued the following
PROCLAMATION:
"By the President of the United States, a Procln-
nation
The President of the United States has Just
received the sad tidings of the death of that
illustrious citizen and Ex President of the
United States, General Ulysses S. Grant, at
Mt. McGregor, in the State of New York to
which place he has lately been removed in
the endeavOr to prOlong his life. In making
this announcement to the people of the
United States, the Pres ident Is impressed
with the magnitude of the public loss of the
great public lea Ter, who was in the hour of
victory magnanimOuS. amid disaster serene
and self sustained; who IN every station.
called to power by his fellow countrymen,
trod unswervingly the pathway of duty, un-
deferred by doubts, single minded and
witnessed with deep emotion his prolon ged
and patient struggle with a painful disease,
and has watched by his couch of suffering
has come at last. His spirit has returned to
the Creator who sent it forth. The great
heart of the Nation that followed him when
living with love and pride. bows now in sor-
ms virtues, his great and patriotic services
and the loss occasioned by his death
intestimOny Of the respect to the memory
OF General Grant, it is or .ered that the Exc
cutive Mansion and Departments at Wash

Books in the British Museum.

How the books accumulate here!
The museum is one of the five libraries
in the kingdom to each Of VIII ch liz
secured by law a copy OF every publi-
cation the copyright Of which is regis
tered at Stationers' Hall, the other
libraries being the Bodleian at Oxford,
the public library at Cambridge, the
faculty Of advocates at Edinburgh, and
Trinity College, Dublin. Authors and
publishers often feel it hardship to
be compelled to present copies OF their
books to some or all of the other libra
rles, but rarely do they grudge the
copy which goes to the great national
library. For the year 1888 the number
OF accessions to the library obtained in
this way was 1862 volumes, besides
many parts of volumes. pamphlets,
music, maps, etc. But this represents
but small proportion of the yearly
additions to the library For the same
year there were presented 1852 vol
umes, and purchased 1880 volumes,
these latter being principally publica-
tlons in foreign countries. The gross
total OF additions of all sorts for the
year was "a, 306. Some idea of the ex-
tent of the library may be ga ned from
the size of the general catalogue, con-
sisting Of over 1000 volumes, most OF
which are still in manuscript, although
a beginning was made in 1881 with the
labor of printing it. The amalgama-
ton Of the several catalogues from
which it is compiled has taken years to
complete. About the fifth of the task
was finished when the present reading
room was built, and now, th rty years
after. the work is on the eve of being
completed. Chambers Journal.
