The Skin.

The following rhymes were written by Sir Alfred Power, who, during long official career, was the main instrument in establishing the present poor law sys- tenn In Ireland. His name, says an Eng fish paper, deserves 10 be held in honor as that of one of the strong officials to whom Ireland owes whatever good gov ernment it hns had in the last two gen. erations. It may fairly be olassed with those of Sir Thomas Larcom, Sir Alex ander Mcdonnell, and Sir Richard Grif- filth, all of whom in their different de- partments devoted long and laborious lives to the details of Irish admistration. Sir Alfred Power is now CD octogenarian, and lives in retirement at Dublin: There's sldn without and skin within, A covering akin and lining skin; But the skin within is tho skin without Doubled inwards and carried completely

They Soon Learn.

The Quitman, Ga., Free Press says; When Northern man comes among us about the first thing that attracts his attention is the fact that our people have apparently been born tired and are not yet entirely rested. He is astonished at the leisurely and apparently indifferent manner in winch tho native takes life. He wants to see everybody hustling, hustling and busy. Wait tilt spring. time comes, however, and the genial sun begins to cast its effulgent rays diagonally upon the head of him. Then what fun it is to sit in the shade with a palmetto fan and watch the 'fYankee man catch it." His pace slaekens, his anxious and excited manner changes little by little. At the end of two months he generally falls into the ranks, and if he wouldn't call COW "keow'' he might be taken for person to the manner born.

 "You miserable little animal, get out of my way or I'll put head on youl If I should collide with you there would not be enough of you left to grease gimletl' ..
 The Spring Chicken replied:
 "I am not afraid of a harmless little sea-terrapin like you. Do you take me for flat-boat or the Dolphin You must be sea-sick. Get off the side walk, or I'll scatter your personal fragmentsP'

Hay Asthma.

A doctor writes as follows in Gas sells Family Magazine: Strictly speaking, the causes of hay asthma may be divided into the constitutional and the exciting.
 It is evident to every one that some people are more subject than others to colds in either the head or chest. To put 1t more definitely. these individuals are tender as regards the mucous or lining membranes of the air-passages, from the nose and eyes downwards to the ultimate notifications of the bronchi themselves. We cannot give any reason for this-none is needed; but, given as an example: Two people ride home together in gig late on spring evening, and in the teeth of an east wind; one next day has the lncipient symptoms of bad cold, the other has escaped scot-free.
 Tenderness, therefore-of a consti- tutlonal nature-of the lining mem- branes of air-passages is the primary cause of hay asthma Time alone can cure this, and have no other reason for making this remark than the fact that the ailment in question is not one of advanced life.
 The exciting causes are not only the breathing of the perfume and floating sporules from grass in bloom, but the inhalation of many other kinds of dust and impalpable spicule, if the term be permissible. It is well.known among young chemists and students. that the .mell of ipecacuanha powder will give to some disagreeable cold. So, in those subject to the complaint will dust of any kind-the dust from rotten old dry wood, the dust from old walls, IS when masons are taking down houses, and dust from streets. So also will certain perfumes, notably those ,f the rose and peach, and certain kinds of grass in flower.
 These are, after all, causes that act in a mechanical way. Perfume of flowers is invisible, but 1t is none the less substantial in that it consists of the volatile oils of the fruits or flowers, mixed with the seed-dust or sporules, and these impinging on the mucous membrane of the air-passages, irritate chem, and the complaint is set up, When I use the word mechanical" it Is to show that I attribute no poison ous character to the vegetable or other dust which produces hay asthma, al. though I do no deny that poison may exist in it.
 But draughts of cold air alone will set up an attack of hay asthma in those subject to 1t. This would be determined by the greater amount of blood sent back upon the mucous membrane, during exposure to cur rent of cold air.

Cure for BiIIousness.

The way to get the better of the bill ious system without blue pills or quin- inc is to take the juice of one, two or three lemons, as appetite craves. in as much water as makes it pleasant to drink without sugar, before going to bed. In the morning. on rising. at least half an hour before breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in a goblet of water. This will clear the system of humor and bile with efficiency, without any of the weakening effects of calo- mel People should not irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear; the powerful acid of the juice, which is always most corrosive, invariably pro duces inflammation after a while, but properly diluted, so that it does not burn or draw the throat, 1t does it's medical work without harm, and, when the stomach is clear of food, has abun- dant opportunity to work over the sys- tenn thoroughly.-Medical Net0S.

Trust the Paonle.

The whole history of government in America from 1920 to this time is one Illustration of the peoples success in doing what no statesman or theorist, though he were John Locke or John Adams could do single handed. You start with the charter of trading company. You come out at the end of 130 years with organized constitu- tional government In that 130 years you have not one Numa or Solon, or Lycurgus. But you have the people One experiment is tried and fails. Another experiment is tried and suc- ceeds. Failure produces nothing. But success produces success And the end comes better than the beginning. because you build on this simple law. -~Edsedrd Eversst Hala

Mothers ShouId Note This .

Under this caption an old physician writes to a Cincinnati Medical Journal, that in view of the fact that people living at distance from cities are frequently obliged to resort to cough mixtures al- ready put up for use, they should provide themselves with only such remedies as are known to be free from opiates, poisons and narcotics; thus avoiding not only danger, but even fatal results. He recom- mends the recently discovered Red Star Cough Cure which analyses and tests by various Boards of Health proved to be purely vegetable as well as prompt, effec- tive and entirely harmless.

Repeat this process as the poison de- Telops itself, and one or two applica- tions will cure the most obstinate cases. It acts like magic Indtana Farmer.
