A Mothers LOVe-A Practical

A mothers love What a potent thing

hardened criminal, when no other Inhu-
ence would be effectual. No one but a
mother knows its full meaning, but every
one can appreciate it if they will 1t is
known, though, that it means sleepless
nights, care, inconvenience, and, if ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
ablest writers to furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical IL

TO speak of the subject further in order
to make the reader understand the full
meaning of what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland.
KY, writes that her daughter has been
cured of deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had
lost all hope of her daughter her ideal
being cured, and how overjoyed she is at
the result. After trying many remedies,
she says PERUNA brought a cure, and
that the daughters hearing Is restored.
She concludes, by speaking in the most
hattering terms of PERUNA, and then de-
scribes in the most lovely manner the
happiness it has brought her, and reviews
the distress she experienced while her
daughter was afflicted.

what John Ruskin, The great En-

of his youthful scripture reading.

whole bible aloud about once ear

or stain, upon which the recording
angel writes our every thought,
word and decd. The yesterdays
have gone, the to-norrows have
not come, but the to-days are here,
and let us enjoy them, making them
as bright as possible with kind
words and deeds; trying in every
to day not only to be happy our
selves, but to make some one else
happy, net sitting down in despair
because the yesterdays failed to
bring up the happiness we expected
or because they bear the record of
the sins We have committed, and
wrongs we have done; not wander

haunts Of mieery and death be-
cause yesterday our tired fset, all

good form at midnight But in the midst of
all this ''feast of reason and flow Of soul"
there was tragedy brewing; while the gal

liquid refreshments, was costly domiciled in

fortunately Jenkins, in his rounds, stopped

wife kept HIM waiting; and when he finally
entered the side door he found his superior
officer going out the front door, dressed as
