A Wicked Boy.

The wickedest boy lives in Washing
ton. He visited the Observatory few
days ago with a large FREELY he had
caught, and with the aid of some mu-
cilage stuck it in the center of the larg-
est lense of the telescope. That night,
when the astronomer went to work, he
perceived blaze of light apparently in
the heavens, and what amazed him the
more was that it would give a couple
of spurts and then die out, only to
burst forth again in u second or two.
He examined it carefully for a few
minutes and then began to do sums to
find out where in the heavens that ex-
traordinary star was placed. He
thought he found the locality, and next
morning he telegraphed all over the
universe that he had discovered new
and remarkable star of the third mag
nitude in Orion; they gazed at it for
hours until they were mad, and then
they began to telegraph to the man in
Washington to know what he meant.
The discoverer took another look and
found that the new star had moved
18,000,0 100000 miles in twenty-four
hours, and upon examining it closely
was alarmed to perceive that it had
legs. When he went on the dome next
morning to polish up the glass he found
the lightning-bug. The bill for tele-
graphing dispatches amounted to
$4,000, and now the astronomer wants
to find that boy.

Chronic Dysentery.

Mr.. lanes Brannan, Second avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes For two years
l have been constantly troubled with q
chronic diarrhGa, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
TWENTY-FIVE passages every twenty-four
hours and every one bloody. I had
thoroughly tried all the prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh. was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir-
teen weeks, and though left 1t much
better. vet in FIVE days I was as bad as
ever. | then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me was not long for this world,
and advised me to write to my friends
about II. next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do ANYTHING for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less thar two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and l have now
been entirely well for several weeks, and
never felt better in my lif though am
still taking his PRRUNA. l will take II
whenever / need medicine.
Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes

chronic diarrh9a. was treated by fiye
of the best physicians and surgeons in

constantly worse. Finally three Of them
said my only hope was an operation.
This frightened me, and went immedi-
ately to DR.. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERUNA. have been at
work now for three months, and never in
nv life felt better. Call and see me at
corner of Twenty seventh and Mulberry
streets, Twelfth ward, Pittsburgh"
Mr.. Patrick Cunningham, S. s., near
Sidney street, Pittsburgh, Pa, writes
"For five years have suffered inexpress-
IDLY from internal and external piles. l
have tried the best physicians OF Pitts
burgh and Allegheny without relief. l
went to DR.. Hartman, who cured me
without detention from work with Pr
RUNA."
Charles Frank, Of Emrichville, Jeffer-
son county, Ohio, writes: =" had piles
and fist,:la in ano for four years. l had
suffered constantly with discharge OF
matter from the parts, and sometimes
from the contents of the bowels through

Look After the Girls.

An alarming custom which seems TO
be growing among our girls is the
practice of walking the streets during
the evening. We believe in walking.
and think young people require plenty
of fresh air and exercise; but sure
ly an hours brisk walk after sunset
will effect this purpose.
Modest girls should not be seen on
the street, unless necessity compels it,
after dark. We ehope and believe that
this alarming custom in the majority
of cases works no serious result, and
yet requires a great deal of faith In
human nature 70 believe even this and
not very great degree of foresight to
predict the mischief that in very many
cases must become of it.
Girls are too often inclined to get
up 'little firtations" with the gentle
men they meet. Sometimes it is no
more than an Interchange Of glances,
a wave of the handkerchief, a cough,
but these little departures from maid
emily modesty lead to greater and more
dangerous ventures and we shudder to
think of the abyss on which they un-
willingly stand. What kind Of
parents can they be who let their
daughters thus expose themselves to
the greatest of all dangers2 Parents
are bound to watch over their children.
Perhaps the mother is subject to the
thought that girls will be girls; and
that she had her flirtations in her day,
and no harm came of 1t, and their
girls will have time to settle down
when they are married and off their
hands.
So they will, poor things; but what
chance of a happy married life has a
girl brought up or allowed to grow
up in this way, not only with no do
mestc training but with no sense of
womanly dignity and responsibility?
Once in while there comes dreadful
reckoning to one of these silly mothers,
the discovery of an awful shame,
which casts perpetual shadow
on the household. The daughter,
perhaps, is cast adrift upon the
world, to suffer alone the inevta-
bic penalty of the fault what was
more her parents than her own. We
have not exaggerated this magnitude
of evil; we are sure that we do not
exaggerate its danger Mothers, take
care of your daughters.
