Probably no concern in the country has
adhered more strictly to the determination
to achieve success by the liberal use OF
printers ink than has the Brown Chemical
Company of Baltimore, Md. Starting bus
mess about five years ago, they have ex-
pended over 81 500, 900 in the preparation and
circulation of printed matter more than
half of which has been paid for newspaper
advertising. All this has been done to make
known the virtues of their celebrated Iron
Bitters.
AS might be expected, very large sales
have resulted from this enormous outlay,
making it about as staple in many drug
stores as is flour at the corner grocery.
Like all good things, it has been largely
initiated. They claim there are unscrupu-
lous manufacturers who cater to just this
sort of trade, and some dealers SO lacking
in principle that because greater profit
can be made on fraudulent than on genu-
inc medicines, are willing to delude the
public by pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters
and other Tonic Medicines in place of genu-
inc Browns Iron Bitters. The company,
finding these frauds practiced so extensive
ly and all other means inadequate, have at
last determined to try little cold law to
put stop to them. Suits for heavy DAM
ages have therefore been commenced
against Non-Secret Medicine Manufacture
ers, for selling Iron Tonic Bitters; and 9TH
ers for selling Browns Iron Tonic; drug
gist in Baltimore, for selling Iron Tonic Bit
tiers with his name upon the label, which
medicine was made by Non-Secret Medicine
Manufacturers, and also claimed as an imi-
tation, The Brown Chemical Company de-
serve success in these suits, as it is high
time those who have built up large enter
prises to success, should be protected from
those who live not by their own genius and
effort, but by copying and counterfeiting
things that have been made standard and
valuable by others.

WICKED BOYS.
a Determined School-Master who Knew
When He Had Enough.
[ChIcago Herald


"Yes, I've been up in Northern Michigan
teaching school all winter" said south

face, "but haven't had much fun. It's a
tough job, and don't think I'll go back

these streams came from. Four little
holes about as big as a pin bored be-
tween the incisors of those boys. They
would take mouthful of ink, put on the
pressure with their tongues and cheeks,
and shoot out a stream that would fly
thirty feet as straight as a die. They
broke up that spelling lesson, and the
worst of It, was couldn't get back
at them, because I never could tell
which boy was the offender. Those chaps
had bored those holes on purpose and they
had more fun than you can shake stick

clothes spoiled I got mad and attempted

MEDICAL QUACkS.
The Latest Dodge for Robbing a Long
Suffering Public.

SuUerinB Ihuitc'
1t is now the latest dodge of medical
quacks who impose upon the credulity
of the unsuspecting, to advertise their
nostrums under the head of some So
called company. Perhaps the charla-
tan's name does not appear at all, but
the so-called Company" is spread all
over his circulars, pamphlets, etc. A
subscriber sends us a circular letter,
which he has received from one of
these Companies" which cures all
diseases mankind is heir to, and for
wards medicines prepared with the
greatest care tor each case, securely
packed in a plain box" But before
the medicine is forwarded, the patient
is asked to answer the following,
among a great variety of other ques-
tons propounded in the circular letter:
What is your age? Dust as if ladies
generally were going to answer that
questionD
Is your partner healthy
Have you worked hard?
From what do you suner most
How is your sightP
What is your height?
What is your weight
Is your tongue coated, and II so
what colorg
Are your brothers and sisters
healthy?
Do you ever have dizzy, faint OF
blind spells?
Is your hearing good'
After being bombarded with these
and forty-four other similar questions,
the unfortunate who may receive this
circular letter, is finally plumply asked
to tell the Company" this, to-wit:
do you feel discouraged, gloomy and
melancholy at times?" If after run
ming his eye down the long list of dis
eases of numerous kinds enumerated
in this circular letter. the recipient
don't feel discouraged, gloomy and
melancholy" he must have a pretty
good constitution and is not easily dis
eomposed.-AHIeriesR Aerlesltsrist

WITH THE BLUE.COATS.
An Evening Scene at Military Post in
the Far, wild West.

the Far, wild West.
Retreat has been sounded; the flag,
opening out its graceful folds, comes
waving down the tall staff stimuli
taneously with the thunder of the even
ing gun; and we cross the parade for
stroll out along the banks of the
creek that flows TRANQUILITY over its
sandy bed in the deep ravine in the
rear of the post. Although the sun has
disappeared, the western sky is all
aglow with his light and it is the
pleasantest time of the day, this long
hour of Northern twilight, before the
shadows of night close in on the fair
landscape before us. Down below us
where the creek spreads out into
wide and deep pool, some young In
dian girls are bathing in its cool
waters, and their laughing voices rise
up melodiously in the still air. Some
squaws are squatted along the edge
filling their water jars or dipping their
squalling little pappooses, clothes and
all into the stream.
Following the path along the bluff
toward the high ground in our front,
stopping for moment at some graves
fenced in with neat white palings,
where some poor fellows are silently
awaiting the last reveille," as we see
is inscribed in rude characters on the
little head-boards, we climb to the top
of the mound, and, turning, look back
at the scene below us. At our feet lies
the little fort, with its square parade
ground hanked by the "Officers' Row"
opposite the barracks of the men, and
at either end by. the guard-house and
quartermaster' stores and offices and
the post hospital. We can see the
soldiers gathered about the doors
of their quarters, while in the
open space between the fort and
the agency buildings, standing white
and struggling beyond, and rising
above the tepees grouped near by,
some young Indians are racing their
horses, yelling and whooping like
fiends. Still further beyond, where
we can see the shining, curving river,
and the creek emptying its waters into
it, the village is lying, the smoke from
its many fires melting into the air
above. Very gradually the light fades,
gray shadows are stealing over the
prairie, where the great herd of agency
cattle is slowly moving; the platforms
on which the redskins deposit the
bodies of their dead stand out on the
mounds black against the sky, and the
weird, sobbing wall of mourning
women strikes discordantly on our
ears. Lights begin to twinkle in the
barracks, and, ringing out clear and
mellow, the bugle is sounding first

Absent-NIindedness Perfected.
ALBANY August

A curious case of Observation-Disclosures Is
that of a young married man living near
Jonesville, Saratoga County, who one
morning MIXED his cow, set the pan of
milk in the corner of the stable and car
ried the stool to the house. This he did
twice in succession. The third time he
went to the barn to milk he took a basket
of roots to the COW. He emptied out the
roots and sat down and commenced to milk
the COW in the basket, but found out his
mistake in time to save enough milk for
breakfast coffee.
