Remedies Worth Remembering.

For sore throat, cut slices of fat, bone
less bacon, pepper thickly, and tie arouna
the throat with c dannel cloth.
When stung by a bee Or wasp, make a
paste of common earth, put on the place
at once.
For a cold in the chest, flannel rag
wrung out in boiling water, spriakled
with turpentine laid on the chest, gives
the greatest relief.
When felon first begins to make an
appearance take lemon, cut OF one end
put the ting r in and the longer it is kept
there the better.
For cough, boil one ounce of faxseed
in quart of water, strain, rnd add little
honey, one ounce of rock candy, and the
juice of three lemons; mix and boil well
Drink as hot as possible.
Often after cooking meal, a person
will feel tired, and have no appetite. Fol

The Gardens at RangOOn,

Immediately after breakfast. which
thorougout the East for foreigners is
about o'clock, we went to the botinicaI
gardens, some two miles out of town.
Our road was through coconut trees and
orchards of mangoes. The garden is
Iarge-a part of handsome park. and q
part devoted to experimental tree and
vegetable growing, and a still larger part
yet tangled mass of jungle, There
were clumps of sage palms, their mighty
leaves rattling ia musical measure as
they were swayed back and forth by the
gentle breeze. The Malay wine palm,
with great leaves of most delicate green,
looked coll and refreshing. Wide spread
ing spathlodia clothed in mass of great
red orange cup-like flowers, great bushes
not Tabled, of almost solidly growing
flowers looking like huge golden chalices
coconut trees with hundred nuts hang
ing under their spreading frouds, resem-
bling huge green rec's eggs; and by their
side the slender betel trees with clusters
of nuts not larger than bantams eggs

find you. In love with her? My manner
like it? All, if you would only believe
whom do love-" All this so earnestly
that Grace felt she had mistaken his
manner, through her own sensitiveness, no
doubt; for, after all, could gentleman
refuse an invitation from lady? And,
when he accepted, ought he not to accept
graciousIy? $50 you really" he went on,
impetuously, catching her eye now, "for-
give me all, at last? Oh, dearest!"
The little romance" as Mrs. Leigh
persisted in calling it, of Grace and Nor
timer, made great sensation at Seaverge
and in New York. ''It was quite like a
bit out of story book" as the dowager,
Mrs. Goldenro1, said. at is like fairy
tale" said little May. "Yes, it's better
than even Cinderella" added the other
sister; and she danced, in irrepressible
glee, up and down the school-room. "And
he's bully fellow-he gave me this
pocket-knife," chimed in Master Jack,
proudly displaying one with something
like twenty blades.
Almost the only one who thought or
spoke otherwise was Miss Marion. She
had tried in vain to conceal her chagrin,
but her efforts TO eutrap Mortimer had
been too public, and, to escape tie sar-
castle coincidence of her "thousand and
one" society friends, she was forced to go
abroad, departing in time to avoid the
wedding day of Mortimer and Mrs.
Leigh's governess.

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded.

The young man fell dead!
friend had pointed a revolver at
him.
"He didn't know it was loaded"
We often hear it stated that man il
not responsible for what he does not
know. The law presupposes knowledge
and therefore convicts the man who ex-
cuses crime by ignorance!
eff I had only known" has often been
an unfortunate mans apology for some
evil unknowingly wrought, but in matter
of general interest-as for instance that
laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is a
deadly explosive, that blood heavily
charged with a winters aecruulations Of
the waste of the system-it is ones duty
to know the fact and the consequences
thereof. Our good old grandmothers
knew for instance, that the opening OF
spring was the most perilous period of
the year.
Why?
Because then the blood stream is Stag
gish and chilled by the cold weather, and
if not thinned good deal and made to
flow quickly and BEAUTIFULLY through the
arteries and veins, it is impossible to
have good vigor the rest of the year.
Hence without exception what Is now
known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapar-
lila, was plentifully made and religiously
given to every member of the family
regularly through March, April, May and
June. It is matter of record that this
prudential, preventive and restorative
custom saved many fit of sickness, pro-
longed life and happiness to vigorous
old age. and did away with heavy medical
expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, KY,
used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa parilla
'for nervous sick headache of which had
been q sufferer for years. It has been a
great benefit to me-" Capt. Hugh Har-
kine, 11l4 S. 18th ST., Philadelphia Pa,
says 1T purified my blood and removed
the biotches from my skin" Mrs. Aarea
Smith, Topton, Be k Co., Pa, says she
twas entirely cured Il skin disease of
the worst kind" by log Cabin SarsaPar-
lila. Bad skin indicates very bad CON
dition of the blood.
If you would live and be well, go to
your druggist today and get Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other
there's nothing like it or as good,-and
completely renovate your impaired sys~
tenn with this simple old fashioned prep
aratiOn of roots and herbs.
Warner, who makes the famous Safe
Cure, puts it up, and that is guarantee
of excellence all over the known world.
Take it yourself and give it to the other
members of the family, including the
children. You will be astonished at it's
health giving and prolonging powers.
We say this editorially with perfect con-
fidence, because we have heard good
things Of it everywhere, and IFS name is a
guarantee that it is first class in every
particular.

& Bad Lot Gone.

The jail at Friars Point, Miss, was
burned Sunday night, and four prisoners
confined therein persisted. The victims
were: William Gray, white, aged %, I'M
der sentence in the ptnitentiary for
al son and robbery: Fred Powers, white a
pal of Gray's under sentence of five years
for robbery; Powers, white, under arrest
for assault with intent to kill, and Andy
Brown, colored, under death sentence for
murder. Citizens tried in vain to force
the doors of the cells with sledge-ham-
mers and chisels in order to rescue the
prisoners. When the victims saw that
there was no hope they requested that a
minister be sent for 70 pray for them be-
fore they we're cremated. The minister
arrived and with some of those present
prayed for them, but the burning roof
soon fell in and covered up the Inflated
men. Before Gray succumbed he ac-
knowledged that he set fire to the jail,
hoping to escape.

THE BIRTH OF THE OPAL.
How Ella Wheeler Wilcox Came to Write Her
Latest Poem.

Latest Poem.
New York Graphic
Mrs. WiIcox's latest original poem
which the Graphic gives publication to
fer the first time, has a story connected
with its birth. Mrs. Wilcox was looking
at private collection of opals in the
possession Of Mr.. Herman Marcus OF this
city. Among them was a piece of rock
from Honduras, in which nestled the IN
cut opal as nature placed it. Mr.. Marcus
who is a man of rare poetic taste, said to
Mrs. Wilcox, 81 have always wanted some
poet to put in verse my idea Of the opal
[ think a sunbeam welded moonbeam
and that the opal was their offspring
Mrs. Wilcox sent the poem published to
day to Mr.. Marcus a few days later. He
kept the verses for his own private use
until now, when they appear in print for
the first time. Mr.. Courtney Thorpe
however, made it familiar to some New
Workers by reciting it in parlors last
season, where it always ELECTED much ap
plause.
The Sunbeam loved the Moonbeam,
And followed her low and high;
But the Moonbeam fled and hid her head
Sac was so shy-so shy.
The Sunbeam weed with passion,
ALI he was lover bold
And his heart was aire with mad desire
For tho MOonbeam pale and cold.
She fed like dream before him,
Her hair shining sheen;
And, Oh that Fate would annihate
The pace that lay between.
Just as the Day lay painting
In the arms of the Twilight dim
The Sunbeam caught the one he sought
And drew her close to him.
But out of his warm arms startled,
And stirred by loves first shock,
She sprang afraid like trembling maid
And hid in the niche Of rock.
And the Sunbeam followed and found her.
And led her to loves own feast,
And they were wed on that rocky bed
And the dying Day was their priest
And 10! the beautiful Opal,
That rare and wondrous gem,
Where the Moon and Sun blend into one,
Is the child that was born to them.

from Caledonia said that he had paid
