Perhaps the most Ingenious thing In the
way OF an advertising novelty that has
come out for many years. is unique con-
trivance issued by the Duffy Malt
Whiskey Company, Baltimore, Md, pro-
pristors of Duffy's pure malt whiskey.
Unlike most things of the kind, with
which the country has been deluged
heretofore, this Is decided departure
from the usual rut, and aside from being
one of the most attractive things we have
ever seen, It involves n new discovery in
science which is both interesting and In
structiye So valuable was this discovery
regarded It was awarded a first prize gold
medal at the Brussels international Ex-
position. aud It seems almost like
prostituting science to put it to adver-
Using purposes as 1t is something that is
Invaluable to institutions of learning, and
would readily command a good price IL
put on sale. However, the Duffy people,
appreciating its Importance, have gotten
It out IN the highest artistic style, such as
will secure for it a permanent place in
every house in the country.
The device is called Duffy's Ancient
Mariners Stellar Time-Piece, Its object
being TO furnish guide whereby the cor
rect time may be ascertained at any hour
OF the night, by observance of the North
Star and three other bright stars near it,
the four stars forming Cross or Crueifix,
which revolves round the celestial pole
like the hands of clock. BY the aid Of
the Duffy's device, which represents a
miniature armament and tabular dial, the
time can be ascertaiSed almost to the min
ute which is destined to render it invalu-
able to Mariners, Hunters, Fisherman and
60 the masses generally, as aftef a little
practice, even a child will be able to tell
the time at night
Although the device Is quite an expen-
sive one, the proprietors iRtend distribut-
ing 1t free and in time everybody in the
country will haveone. Requests for same
by mail, must be accompanied by six cents
I'm postage stamps addressed to their Sup
ply Department, rs already they are
Hooded with applications.

Temperance.
A Drove of Drunken Hogs.

A few years ago / was passing
through one of the back streets in the
city of Philadelphia. 1t was on Sun
day morning, the bells were ringing,
and nicey-dressed men and women
were on their way to church. Hearing
a grunting and squealing and various
unmusical sounds, turned my steps in
the direction from which the disagree
able noise came, and soon discovered
that drove of hogs had been devour-
ing large quantity of the Gregs of
cherry wine or cherry bitters some
manufacturer of the medicine or bever-
age had poured into the sewer. The
cherry Juice and the soaked cherries, hav-
ing passed through the process of vinous
hol to intoxicate the hogs, and they
were drunk as topers on spree. Some
staggered on all four legs, occasionally
stumbling, and making their way as
best they could on two legs. They
were in a combative mood, staggering
and threatening, like drunkards at
Donnybrook fair, and seemed to say, in
porcine speech, " Step on the tail of my
coat if you dare" Others were sound
asleep, their bodies resting in the sewer
and their heads lying on curbstone pill
lows. No sots were ever more oblivious
of the Joys and cares of life than were
these snoring sleepers. Here and there
were happy, jolly hogs, whose squeal-
ing may have been intended for tenor
singing, but their notes became thin
and mixed, and finally were lost in in
harmonious grunting and growing.
Many of these omnivorous animals
were fighting drunk-they would bite
and scratch with their forefeet and
squeal Ct suppose that is the hog speech
for swear), and others tumbled in the
street and rolled in the dust and mire.
Those that were able to stand were
riotous, querulous, noisy-in fact they
behaved almost as bad as so many
drunken men, and there was not a
policeman in sight. No poet, not even
the Ettrick Shepherd, could have done
justice to the scene. No philanthropist
appeared to rescue the fallen; indeed,
they passed on the other side going to
church. ] came to the conclusion, after
witnessing the rowdyism of these
creatures of ungOvernable appetite,
hog. or human being who makes a
hog of himself, becomes nuisance in
the neighborhood of his orgies. The
hogs home is a sty; the drunkard' s
home is likely to become sty. The
hog, while drunk, has no sense of
shame; the topper has no self-respect
until reason resumes its throne. The
hog will drink with any other hog, IT.
respective of condition or character; so
will man when he is drunk. But
there are dissimlarities. The hog never
gets drunk but once, and never gets
drunk knowingly; the drunken man
rarely masters his passion for rum. The
hog is naturally lazy, and does not even
earn the food he eats, but he is useful
not to say valuable, after death.-George
W. Bungay.

The Saloon Peril.

The legal proceedings against the an
archists in Chicago have served strongly
to emphasize the saloon peril in all our
large cities. Nor does "high license"
which has been so warmly commended
by the Chicago Tribune and sundry
clergymen, and others who should know
better, seem to have lessened the peril
in Chicago. The Northeastern Christian
Adrocate of Chicago says; " This sa-
loon, that saloon, the other saloon =
saloons, saloons, saloons-fgure con-
stantly and universally in this anarchist
trial. Conspirators met in saloons
dynamite was discussed in saloons I;
bombs were distributed over saloons /;
armed revolutionists were drilled above

made designation in saloons; and time,

Watered Wine.

A recent Paris letter mentions a
meeting of the wine-sellers of the De-
partment of the Seine, held at the
Cirque d Hiver, near the Chateau d Eau,
in France, to discuss the grievances
they are subjected to of being fined and
imprisoned by the action of the Paris
Laboratory for diluting their liquor
with water" One speaker threatened
to declare himself d" a revolutionist like
Louise Michel" Another contended
that NJ. Grevy set the laudable example
at his table, and what the first magistrate
practised might surely be followed
by the humble retailers behind the
counter" The plan had been tried of
labelling their commodities thus-one
with water" and another without
water but this was resented by the
public, who clamored for the genuine
article" If the French wine-sellers
put nothing worse than water in their
wines the Paris Laboratory might as
well let them alone. The more water
the better.-Selected

Drinking TOasts.

In private life toasting has almost
entirely disappeared. A hundred years
ago and less it was rife in the extreme.
Half dozen men could not sit down to
dinner without drinking toasts. In the
event of any great victory there was no
end of it. The nation was for time
half insane in drinking the health of
Nelson, Wellington, or other successful
commanders by sea and land. 1t was
part of a young mans education to get
familiar with a few toasts which he
could bring out when called upon in
turn at evenings. AT the age of fifty
he had become so hackneyed in toast
ing as never to be at loss for hero
or for sentiment suitable to the
character of the company. AT the very
least he could give "The rising gen
eration," Cali ships at sea-" or " May
the wings of friendship never lose IA
feather" Curious, and not little mel
anchOly, to think what vast numbers of
worthy people now gone to their rest
habitually killed the time in soaking
and trying to amuse themselves in this
kind of driveling nonsense. AS yet the
popular mind has not been aroused to
inquiry on a variety of important ques-
tons. A great part of life was con-
sumed in dawdlng and drinking, as is
still the case among certain classes in
small country towns. Discountenanced
in general society, complimentary
toasting holds its ground in public fes-
tivites. There the libations are observ-
eddy copious, as provocative of orator.
cal display, and as much attended with
senseless uproar as ever. Corporation
dinners, charity dinners, reception and
farewell dinners are all alike in these
respects. Every toast must be pre-
faced by drink all round. The guam
tity of champagne consumed on some
occasions is immense, the removal of a
wagon-load of empty bottles not I'M
usual. What may be the different de-
grees of intoXication we shall not at
tempt to specify. One would not
like to be too severe in matter adj
hitting of many excavations. AT the
same time we may be permitted to say
that the example set at these festive
demonstrations is not quite in accord
ance wife the solemn counsels Ordina-
rily uttered on the evils of intemper-
ance. Men in high position, who are
nimble at toasting at grand dinners, do
not seem to perceive that they are act
ing inconsistency in holding out to the
poor, whom they are constantly lee
turing on the terrible consequences of
miseXpenditure on drink, such ex-
amples. Chambers Journal.

the breaking in America is Matched
in saloons, and the admitted fact is pal
lated by the axiom that saloons are
headquarters for town, city, and even
national election gerrymandering. The
liquor-counter is the scaffold on which
half-hundred beautiful, vital Ameri-
can things are assassinated, and on
which scores of horrid public plaques
are glorified. If our German adopted
citizens are bound to drink their beer,
we wish they would use it at home and
join all classes of citizens to Danish the
public saloon. This very trial will help
to hasten that day."

BentOn's Hair Grower.

All who are BALD, all who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want TO be BALD,
all who are troubled with DANDRUFF, or
ITCHING of the scalp, should use Benton's
Hair Grower. EIGHTY PER CENT of those
using it have grown hair 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through sick
ness and fevers the hair sometimes falls off
in short time, and although the person
may have remained bald for years, if you
use Benton's Hair Grower according to di-
rectons you are sure of a growth of hair.
In hundreds of cases we have produced a
good growth of Hair ON those who have
been bald and glazed for years. We have
fully substantiated the following facts
We grow Hair in so cases out Of 100, no
matter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, 1t contains no
sugar of lead, or vegetable or mineral
poSons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dandruff,
and itching of the scalp.
The hair grower is hair food, and its
composition is almost exactly like the
oil which supplies the hair with its
vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH.
When the skin is very tough and hard,
and the follicle is apparently eilectually
closed, the Single strength will sometimes
fail to reach the papilla; in such cases the
Double or Triple strength should be used in
connection with the Single, using them al
ternately.
