No Universal Remedy

has yet been discovered but, as at least
four-fifths of human diseases have their
source in Impure Blood, medicine
which restores that fluid from de-
PRAYED to healthy condition comes as
near being universal cure as any that
can be produced. Ayers Sarsaparilla
affects the blood in each stage of its
formation, and is, therefore, adapted to
a greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.

Dogs in Bavaria.

Bavaria has succeeded in doing
what no other country has vet been
able TO accomplish, says the St. James
Gazette; she has practically stamped
out hydrophobia. During the last
seven years there have been only
three deaths of human beings from
hydrodhobia in a population number
ing close upon six millions and since
1876, when the present severe dog
laws came into operation, there has
never been more than one death IN a
year. Previous TO that time deaths
were very frequent. Between 1868
and 1876 the death rate from hydro
phobia in Bavaria was never less than
fourteen a year, and once it reached
the high percentage Of thirty-one.
The regulations which have banishcd
this terrible malady from a whole
kingdom are very minute, and per-
haps some little vexatious but IL Is
assuredly worth while TO take a little
trouble for so desirable an end. Ev-

his collar a metal tally, upon which
is inscribed his number upon the reg

pital till they recover. If an animal
changes hands, the transfer must be
at once notified to the police, and any
breach of the regulations-even de-
lay of a few days in the payment Of
the tax-is visited by a heavy fine.
The tax varies from 3s. a year in the
country districts to los. in the large
towns.

A Glover Lynx Hunt.

In the early settlement of the
town, Levi Partridge settled on the
hill about a mile and a half east of
where Glover village now stands. 1t
was then a wilderness up and down
the river except where c. p. Owen
now lives. His grandfather, Joseph
Owen, settled there about the year
1903, built a distillery and made
whiskey.
One morning in Dec. Levi started
from home to 60 down to Mr.. Owens.
He had gone but a little distance
when he deserted in the light snow
the track of some large animal, which
he thought to be a lynx. The track
was fresh and Levi knew that the
beast must be not far away. He
followed it on until it crossed the
river south above Owens buildings.
He FASTENED down to Ovens and
to him what he had seen. Sias
Clark happened to be there and they
all shouldered their guns and started
in pursuit with two dogs accompany
ing them. They followed the track
up beaver meadow until they came
to the swamp near which +. +.
Hlnckley now lives, where they met
the dogs coming back very much
frightened, and no effort on the part
of the men could induce them TO
again follow the track. A consul
tation was held and it was decided
that each should take a different di-
rection, surround the swamp and in
that way close in on the beast. Owen
went up on the north side and had
nearly reached the upper end of the
swamp, when he suddenly came upon
the animal crouched upon a log, ready
to spring. He leveled his gun and
fired. The lynx uttered a fearful
scream and fell off the log out Of
sight. Owen reloaded his gun and
cautiously approached; looking over,
he saw the great beast dead, with
bullet hol- through his vitals. Upon
measuring him he was found to be
the largest animal of the kind ever
ssen in northern Vermont.

A Precaution Against Pneumonia

"Nothing is more injurious" says
prominent physician to a reporter
of the Telegram recently, "during
these winter days, than any continued
confinement to the house without eX-
ercise of some description in the open
air. 1t is on this account that so
many people are now afflicted with
hard colds, and no small portion of
the cases of pneumonia under my
own observation are traced directly
to the same cause. People all allow
themselves to get run down and then
dislike any exertion. The hot, close
atmosphere of the house-no worse
in this respect than places of public
entertainment-so softens the mus
cles and tissues as to make them
tender and sensitive to every unusual
breath. The result is that the blood
soon gets into an impure condition,
grows worse every day from such
practice, till the whole system suf-
fers with trouble that oftentimes
leads to serious results. The origin
of 1t all In the majority of cases lies
in the timidity or the inertness that
prefers the warm and debilitating
pleasure of the house to an active
walk, breathing fresh, bracing air,
under a heaven full of wind. What
are the symptoms usually attending
what is popularly known as the epi-
demIc cold, which usually follows a
few weeks of this unwise seclusion?
First, one hegips to feel headache,
and a very little thing seems tire
some. Then there follows a light
sore throat, depression, fretfulness
and general irritability, until before
one is aware Of it the bed is the only |
refuge, And an afternoon walk,
made with some effort and exhaus-
lion, might have prevented the whole
ailment,
To the person who knows the wis
dom of the long brisk walk, or exer-
else of any kind, daily, in the open
air, no matter what the weather, when !
we'll protected, and follows good adj
vice, i'll health is almost an impossi-

down the parsons face. "Thank
the Lord for keeping me in half
bushel," he said. 81 see now why
He did so.''
That was not the last of it. Dur
ing the week it seemed to him that
half the people he met told him of
some way in which they had been
helped by that sermon.
81 never since have complained of
being kept in any space where God
desires to keep me- he said the 9TH
er day when telling this incident. eff
the Lord keeps you in half bushel,
trust Him to bless you in it, and the
little space filled with Gods love
shall become Bethel, and therefrom
shall 60 out rays of light by which,
although perhaps unknown to you,
Christ shall be glorifed." .".-Zion' s

bility. There is the glow OF carna-
tion itself in the cheeks, the pure lus-
tire of health in the eye, and the smile
of well-being and comfort and enjoy
ment of life over all. III there was
more of this sort Of thing among our
people, the female portion especially,
hard colds and pneumonia would be
a very rare occurrence In this com-
munity."

Worth Making note of

Every time l refuse a drink of Ii
quor / am improving my manhood.
Every time l spend a dollar fool
ishly | am opening a pauper's grave.
Every time l pay rent am taking
so much away from a home of my
own.
Every time 1 speak a kind word
am adding a brick to my temple of
manhood.
Every time / buy an article am
encouraging the manufacturer or pro-
ducer.
Every time 1 pay a debt am do
ing right and helping to put money
in circulation.
Every time l refrain speaking in
defence of a friend | prove that / am
not a friend.
Every time / speak cross and inn
petuously I'm weakening my nrrve
power and adding to the misery OF
others.
Those that place their hope in an
other would have in a great measure
conquered dread of death and un-
reasonable love of life.
Here joys that endure forever fresh
and in vigor, are opposed to salts
faction, that are attended with safety
and surfeits, and fatter in the very
tasting.
The desire of fame betrays an am
bilious man into indecencies that less
en- his reputation he is still afraid
lest any of his actions should be
thrown away in private.

How Easy it is.

How easy it is to spoil day!
The thoughtless words of cherished friends,
The selfish act of child at play,
The strength of will that will not bend,
The slight of comrdde, the scorn of foe,
The smile that is full of bitter things
They all can tarnish It's golden glow
And take the grace from its airy wings.
How easy it is to spoil day
BY the force of thought we did not check.
Little by little we mould the clay,
Aud little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste of IA white-winged hour,
That held the blessings we long had sought,
The sudden loss of wealth or power
And 10, the day is with i'll inwrought.
How easy it is to spoil life
And many are spoiled ere well begun
In some life darkened by sin and strife,
Or downward course of d cherished one,
BY toll that robs the form of its grace
And undermines till health gives way;
Bv the peevish temper, the frowning face,
The hopes that go and cares that stay.
A day is too long to be spent in vain
Some good should come as the hours go by
Some tangled maze may be made more plain.
Some lowered glance may be raised on high,
And life is too short spoil like this,
Ii only prelude it may be sweet;
Let us bind together its thread of bliss
And nourish the flowers around our feet.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes in life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen OF
them. Most people would say, If
they told the truth, that there was no
limit to the mistakes of life; that
they were like the drops in the ocean
or the sands on the shore in number ;
but it is well to be accurate. Here,
then, are fourteen great mistakes (:
1t is a great mistake to set mp our
own standard Of right and wrong, and
Judge people accordingly; to meas
ure the enjoyment OF others by our
own; to expect uniformity Of opinion
in this world; to look for judgment
and experience in youth; TO endeav-
or to mould all dispositions alike (;
not to yield to individual tnhes TO
look. for perfection in our own actions
to worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied; not to al
leviate all that needs alienation as
far as lies in our power not 70 make
allowances for the in6rmities Of 9TH
ers to consider everything impossi-
bic that we can not perform TO be-
lieve only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able TO under
stand everything. The greatest mis-
take is to live for time alone, when
any moment may launch us into eter-
nifty.

Good Advice.

Where's the man who dares change places
With the happiest man he knows?
Take his chances and his fortune,
Bear alike his joys and woes?
Yet the world is full of grumblers,
Always growing at their fate
Sullen, surly, discnntented,
Filled with envy and with hate.
Thinking all the worlds against them,
IL their friends will prove untrue,
Never dreaming they can help it,
And the way is easy, too.
Now, my poor, unhappy grower,
Half the fault lies in YOURSELF;
Think little more of others
Lay your own care on the shelf.
Help make sunshine for your neighbors;
Drive the frown from off your brow;
Do some act of downright kindness
Hard, at first, will allow.
Yet twill grow to be pleasure,
If repeated o'er and o'er,
And twill fill your heart with sunshine,
Till you feel TO growl no more.
Ifyou have your little trials,
Bear them bravely as you can,
Do not let them spoil your temper
No one lovesa surly man.
Other people have theirtroubles-
No one is from sorrow free;
Some have ten-fold more than thou hast,
Yet they do not growl at thee.
