Rntter Fifty Years Old

A crock of butter was lately ia
ken out Of a well in New York state
where it had lain fifty years. A
Mrs. Jupp, who was famous dairy
woman near Albany half century
ago, used to lower her butter into q
well on the premises which was not
ed for its very cold water. Mrs.
Jupp would leave the butter hang
ing in the water for several hours
and when taken out it would be as
hard and cold as ice. One day in
1884 she was lowering crock of
bntter into the well, when the rope
broke, and the crock fell to the bot
tom. No effort was ever made to
recover it. For the first time in its
history this well became almost dry
during the recent long drouth. A
few days ago the present owner was
cleaning the well out when be
found the crock Mrs. Jupp had lost
fifty years ago. In taking the
crock from the well the finder accl
dentally broke it. 1t was about
one-quarter full of butter which
was as solid and sweet as it was
the day it was put down, half CEN
fury ago.-Popular Science News.

a LadY,s Opinion.

Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, BryaH3 Ohio, writes:
"DR. S. B. HARTMAN & Co, Columbus,
Ohio: 1 commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERUNA this morning, and should
Just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. l
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when l got one of your books, The Ills
of Life" 1 was in bed at the time. I
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more,
I was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. l told them
PERUNA was the medicine needed, and
intended to try bottle. It proved a sue
cess in breaking the chills, and if it had
not done one thing more, would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
so well, as they all thought l was dying
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much to say for the PERUNA as
I. I recommend it to everybody / see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. l
gave the one my book TO read; told her
to bring it back, as 1 priced it very high
ly. The other got the name of the Pr
RUNA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator. My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Migrants,
though nothing compared to being SO bad
There was lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was a long time before it
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would have to lance it in few days, but
thought would attend to that myself,
so put little fly blister on it and it
opened; then 1 put poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time.
1t got so bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back of my ear that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes, I thought
I was going crazy. Since 1 have used
the PERUNA Il don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. / feel like letting everybody
know all about it."

LOVE- Can Oonnuer Poverty.

Most good hearted people rebel
at the old pro verb: ''When power
ty comes in at the door, love flies
out at the window" And yet it
cannot be denied that it too often
proves true. When a man is over
Whelmed by care and crushed with
poverty, he is apt to lose heart, to
become irritable, to leave off those
tokens of affection which are priced
by a wife, not because he has ceas =
ed to love her, but because, in the
presence of his trouble, while the
burden is heavy on his back, any
thing that tells of refreshment and
ease without removing the burden
seems like a mockery. And too of
ten the wife, who shares the bur-
den, mistakes the irritability and
bad temper for want of love; it
hurts her that her caresses have
no power to charm away the black
care which sits on her husbands
brow, and in her turn she becomes
morose, silent and reproachlul.

How a Wise Man Built His House

Many of our readers will find
their own experience reflected in the
following paragraph taken from the
last number of the Central Law
Journal, where it is used to illus
trate another subject. A gentleman
wished to build for himself q nice
mansion, and, Of course, was ex-
.ceedingly anxious to have the ap-
probation of his friends and neigh
bors. So he asked the advice of all.
The first said, "Here is a nice site
and I should build such a style OF
house." The second said, Il don't
like that site nor the style of house. 4"
The third came along and was ut
terly amrzed at the selection of the
site made by the others apd at their
total want of taste in architecture.
He said, Leave off all that; here is
the most charming spot for house,
and here is the most exquisite plan
for a house." And so it went on
until the gentleman became dis
gusted with his advisers and went
and selected his own site and adopt
ed his own style of architecture and
builded a house to suit himself By
a multitude of counselors there is
wisdom, but the house builders ex-
perience in seeking the advice OF
his neighbors found it different and
was probably wise in rejecting all
their suggestions and following the
plans his own judgment dictated.
The moral here conveyed does not
end with locating of house site or
the erection of the building. 1t will
be generally found best to follow
ones own impressions and taste
rather than to defer to others.

Your committee on temperance
offer the following: The battle
waged against intoxicating drinks
long ago, is now perhaps receiving
the attention due a subject of such
vital Importance. Your committee
are glad to known a class of per-
sons who, formerly. opposed every
thing in the form of prohibition,
are now it's strong advocates. We
report further some persons who
have used sparingly intoxicating
drinks, are less moved by the sight
of young men ruined in body and
soul, methers in despair; badly clad
and uneducated children, and the
suffering cause of Jesus Christ,
than that class of persons who, with
their families have suffered more Sc
verely from the use OF intoxicating
beverages. Therefore,

terry do hereby badly.and in the fear OF

contemplated in the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to be submitted to

every minister Of the gospel to be found
at all times in the line ofduty, with re.
spect to the war waged against intoxi-

Curative Power of Water.

There is no remedy for such gen
eral application and none so easily
obtainabls as water, and yet nine
persons In ten will pass it by IN an
emergency to seek for something of
less efficacy. There are but few
cases of illness where water should
not be given the highest place as a
remedial agent.
A strip of flannel or a napkin
folded lengthwise and run out of
hot water and applied around the
neck of a child that has the Group
will usually bring relief in ten min
utes. A towel folded several times
and quickly run out of hot water
and applied over the seat of pain in
toothache or neuralgia will general
Iy afford prompt relief. This treat
ment in collie works like magic.
We have known cases that have
resisted treatment for hours yield
to this in ten minutes. There is
nothing that will so promptly cut
short a congestion of the lungs,
sore throat or rheumatism as hot
water when applied promptly and
thoroughly. Pieces of cotton bat
ting dipped in hot water and kept
applied to all sores and new cuts,
bruises and sprains is the treat
ment now adopted in hospitals.
A sprained ankle has been cured
in an hour by showering it with
hot wafer oOured from q heiOht of
three feet. Tepid water acts as
promptly as an emetic, and hot wa
ter taken freely half an hour before
bedtime is the best of cathartics in
the case of constipation while it has
a most soothing effect on the stom-

When a great Grecian artist was
fashioning an image for the tenn
pie, he was diligently carving the
back part of the goddess, and one
said to him: "You need not fin
ish that part of the tatue. because
it is to be built in the walls" He
replied: "The gods can see in the
walls" He had alright idea of what
is due to God. That part of our re-
ligion which no man can see should
be as perfect as if it were observed
by all. The day shall declare it.
When Christ comes everything shall
be made known and published be-
fore the universe. Therefore see
to it that it be fit to be thus
made known.
