MOTHERS DEAR HANDS.

There g pair of dear hands that from morn
ing till night,
Unaided. are toiling to make the home bright
Propelled by duty no WEAKNESS smothers,
Thos edear, homely hands ever busy, are moth
=. er's.
Long ere we waken those dear hands COM
mence
To labor for us with a love that g intense.
Long after we rest from the cares of the day
Those dear, tired hands are still working away.
They go in the kitchen-before them arise
That sweet home made bread and cakes, pud-
dings and pies;
And only such cooking is known to the few
AS mothers dear hands can so daintily do.
They 20 to the INSTRUMENTATION is there,
Because we scattered our things everywhere;
Those dear hands, with patience, and often
with pains,
Rest not until order and cleanliness reigns.
They go to the sewing-room-vainly they try
To lessen the mending piled ever so high,
For no one, not father himself, understands
The burden that g placed on one pair of dear
hands.
In sickness our mothers dear hands we have
felt,
AS she by our cribside so anxiously knelt;
How gentle, how tender their touchl All, no
others
Could soothe away pain ike those dear hands
of mothers.
Yesi mothers dear hands have plenty to do
Though constantly striving, they IL never get
through.
Till some day, alas folded still on her breast.
In peace and forever these dear hands may
rest

surprise, or joy-often dangerously ap-
preaching to female swearing as

THE OLD SILVER SPOON.


How fresh in my mind are the days of my
sickness,
When tossed me in pain, all fevered and
sore;
The burning, the nausea, the sinking and
weakness,
And even the old spoon that my medicine
bore.
The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
The sick chamber-spo that my medi-
cine bore.
How 10th were my fever parched lips to re-
ceive it,
How nauseous the stuff that it bore to my
tongue,
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught
could relieve it,
Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs
it wrung.
The old silver spoon, the medicine spoon,
How awful the stuff that it left on my
tongue.
Such is the effect of nauseous, gripping
medicines which make the sick-room a mem
ory of horror. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets, on the contrary, are small,
sugar-coated, easy to take, purely vegetable
and perfectly effective. % cents a vial.

THE CHAMPANZEES AND THE
DOLL.

Not long ago the keeper of the chin
panzees at the Philadelphia Geological
Garden placed small doll in their
cage. The chimpanzees are very fond
of new playthings, are very curious
about strange objects, and are generally
timid in approaching anything they do
not understand. The doll was placed on
the floor of the cage leaning against the
wall. 1t was clothed in red dress which
attracted the attention OF the chimpan-
ices in q moment. At first they stood at
respectful distance, and "hoohooed" at q
it. Then they began to stamp on the
floor to scare it away.
Finding this unavailing, the big one
dashed up to within foot or two of the
passive baby, stamping and chattering
but finding that the strange thing did
not bulge, she turned tail and fed The
little one was not to be outdone, although
she evidently was greatly in fear of the
doll. So she took her blanket and held
it up before her while she approached ;
but she did not go far. After while
the big one got up courage enough to
get quite near, so that, picking up long
straw, she could tickle the newcomer
under the chin. The doll never stirred.
The end OF the straw was examined and
smelt of by the two animals, and, moth
ing especially harmful being found, they
ventured to touch the doll. This was too
great test of courage, and both scamp
cred to the top of their cage. They
could not be induced to go back for
some time; but, after while, curiosity got
the better of fear, and they returned to
the inspection, which was mostly con-
fined to sitting in front of it and making
faces at it.
The keeper tied the doll to swinging
rope. He had hardly left when they
dashed to the top of the cage, and perch
ing on a beam, began to pull up the rope
They then shook the rope violently, and
actually laughed to see the antics that
the red-robed figure cut up in its per-
Torrance on the slack rope. 1t finally
slipped out from the knot and fell to the
floor, causing another stampede. BY
that time, however, they had got some
what familiar with the stranger, and the
big one dragged it oy the hem Of its gar
ment to the box in which they sleep.
They placed it inside and at once execu-
ted war dance on the top. The little
one stopped her noisy sister with 8 cuff,
and drew out the unfortunate. Then
sitting on the floor, she held it in her
arms as If it had been real baby of her
own. After making evident fun of this
soft-heartedn ness, the other pulled the
doll away, and deliberately sat upon it's
head, striking the body with the palms Of
her hands. While she was endeavoring
to regain the plaything the dress did not
long remain intact. After this, they
hauled the body about the cage, up the
tree and on to the crossbesm and then
threw it to the ground. One piece of the
dress they used to make a neck-tie, and
another was turned into head-dress,
which one OF them adorned herself with
before the mirror in the corner of the
cage.-Selected.

CONSTIPATION

SCOTS EMULSION of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, is a
combination of two of the most valua-
Bile remedies in existence for the cure
of Consumption and all Wasting Con-
ditions; is more generally recommends
ed and used by Physicians than any
known remedy; it gives most satisfac,

and when the Consumptive has wasted
away and loses hope, the Emulsion
will speedily check the ravages of this
terrible disease, and restore the sufferer
to good health and happiness. This
is equally true in regard to ricketts, in
Children, or Marasmus and Anamia in
Adults, and all impoverished conditions

for Colds and Chronic Coughs, as it
will cure them more quickly than ordi-

Hon. j. Perry johnson Will not Enter
the Congressional Lists.

Editor Plaindealer:
My name has been used as possible
candidate for congress in this 1.-THE 1Oth)
congressional district. I have received
many letters from different counties
soliciting me to become candidate for
the position. Many friends have per-
sonally requested me to make this can
vass, all assuring me of their friendship
and support. While I could but feel
f1attered by these tokens of kind fe ell
ing and tenders of support and assist
ance, [ have after mature thought con-
cluded that my duty to the Democracy
and to my friends calls upon me at
once to set at rest the doubt in regard
to my candidacy by saying that am
not a candidate for congress at this
time and that will not be a candidate
for any office during the continuance
of my present term as state senator. I
was anxious to represent the people of
the Oath senatorial district in the state
senate. / sought the office and the
Democracy with remarkable unanimi-
ty made me their nominee and the
people of the district elected me to fill
the position. Consequently in view of
of the very great Importance of the
next session of the general assembly. to
the interests of the people of my dis
trict, and of the many useful and inn
portant questions that will he before
the next assembly i'm the interests of
our farmers, our business men and the
wage workers of the district, feel that
the people are entitled to my services
in that position and to the benefit of
whatever experience I gained by serv-
ing in the last general assembly. But
in declining to be a candidate for con-
gress 1 wish to assure my friends and
the Democracy that in the coming can
vass 1 will be found at work for the
success of Democracy and Democratic
principles, battling for the Democratic
nominees, national, state, district and
county-believing as I do that in the
success of the Democracy lies the best
guarantees that the people will be pro-
tected against monopoly and oppres-
sion, the institutions of our country
best preserved in their purity and the
prosperity of our state and the nation
be assured.
remain very truly,
Yours for the Democracy,
