Your Children

Are constantly exposed to danger from
Colds, Whooping Cough, Group, and
diseases peculiar to the throat and
lungs. For such ailments, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, promptly admins
tered, affords speedy relief and cure.
AS remedy for Whoopiag Cough,
with which many of our children were
afflicted, we used, during the past win
ter, with much satisfaction, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. For this affection, we
consider this preparation the most eff
cacious of all the medicines which have
come to our knowledge. Mary Park

My children have been peculiarly sub
ject to attacks of Group. and failed to
find any effective remedy until COM
menced administering Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. This preparation relieves the
difficulty of breathing and invariably
cures the complaint. David G. Starks,
Chatham, Columbia Co., N. Y.
/ have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
in my family for many years, and
have found it especially valuable in
Whooping Cough. This medicine allays
all irritation, prevents inflammation from
extending to the lungs, and quickly sub
dues any tendency to Lung Complaint.

Hindoostanee Mothers.

HindoOstanee women are passionate
ly attached to their children, especial
ly to the sons, who are the crown and
glory of their lives. Nor are they
without affection for their little daugh-
tiers, who must be transplanted SO
early to other households. They try
to take good care of them all. If
prayers and offerings to the gods and
to Brahmins could keep the the little
ones in health, then would Hindoo
children never know pain; but IN
their ignorance of the simplest rules
of health, the mothers often cause sick
ness to come to the beings they love
more than life. Diseases of the eyes
are very prevalent in India, and the
children suffer even more than adults,
SAYS writer in De17aoreStS Monthly. A
curious custom prevails of drawing
black line at the base of the lower eye
lashes with preparation called surma.
They think this protects the eyes from
inflammation, and also that it adds to
their beauty.
In sickness they formerly depended
upon their priests, who have little
knowledge of roots and herbs. Now
there are well-educated native doctors
in all the cities, who are employed by
government to take charge of hos
pitfalls under the superintendent of an
English physician. But the poor peo-
pie in the villages suffer greatly from
the lack of medical treatment. When
a child is sick, the anxious mother gets
the best advice and medicine she can,
and redoubles her prayers to the gods.
Ii the child dies she is overwhelmed
with sorrow and despair, fearing that
some sin of her own has caused the
death of the child, or that its sin has
hurried it into another existence
where. as a savage beast or venomous
reptile. it must expiate its guilt The
vague doctrine of the TRANSPORTATION
of souls does not afford much comfort
to the Hindoo. No hope of recogni-
ton or reunion is held out, and yet,
with the utmost inconsistency, the peo-
pie often speak Of paradise and OF
meeting dear ones there.

will grow them by the hundred acres,
and with profit, even though prices
should be low, while those who can not
afford to own an outfit of machinery
will quit raising for market. The man
who plants and harvests by hand labor
can not compete in raising for market
with the one who plants and harvests
with machines, any more than the
wheat-grower who sows by hand and
harYests with the cradle can compete
with the grower who runs seeder and
q self-binder.
Mr.. II Ross, in the farm journal,
states that in September, 1886, he pur-
chased nineteen ewes and mated them
with a southdown ram. They pro-
duced twenty-seYen lambs. Two of
them died, and he sold the twenty-five
remaining for $4.75 each, or a total of
S11S.75. The average clip ofwool was
five pounds, sold at % cents, making q
total of $20.90 from the flock for wool.
1t will be noticed that the flock pro-
duced nearly six times as muchin lamb
as it did in wool, and shows that sheep
can be made to pay independently OF
wool, as the manure is not estimated.
The total receipts from nineteen living
ewes were S139. 60.

Nh 0TUED RAILWAY In THE
NV Ul1inN NORTHWEST

has in so short period gained the rep
utatlon and popularity enjoyed by the
WISCONSIN CENTRAL LINE. From
a comparatively unknown factor in tie
commercial world, it has been trans
formed to an independent, influential,
grand Through Route, with magnif-
cent depots, superb equipments and un-
surpassed terminal facilities. Through
careful catering to details, it has won
for itself a reputation for solidity, safety,
convenience and attention to its pat
rons, second to no railroad in the
country. Pullman sleepers, models OF
palatial comfort, dining cars in which
the cuisine and general appointments
are up to the highest standard, and
coaches especially built for this route,
are among the chief elements which
have contributed towards catering sue
cessfully to a discriminating public.
Located directly on its line, between
Chicago and Milwaukee, and Sc. Paul
and Minneapolis, and Chicago and Ash
land and Duluth, are the following thirty
ing cities of Wisconsin and Michigan:
Burlington, Waukesha. Fond du Lac.

For Congress, 10th Cong. District
COL. AUGUSTUS BELKNAP,
OF SAN ANTONIO.
oURcoNGREssIoNAL cANDIDATE

While the LIGHT was of opinion
that the nomination of a protection
democrat for this congressional dis
trict was every way desirable, as most
likely to insure the defeat of the pres
ent free wool repres entative of this
district; and, while the LIGHT was
willing, ready and anxious to support
such nomination, it is by no means
unhopeful of the issue even with
republican candidate, particularly
conservative republican who accepts,
not so much as republican, as rep
resen tative of the commercial, indus
trial, agricultural and stock interests
of the district. 1t is a most encourage
ing sign of the times to see live bust
ness man subordinating questions of
mere party politics to the graver is
sues of business interests and enter
ing the field as the representative Of
those interests when he would not do
so merely to serve call Of his politi-
cal party. 1t is also gratifying to find
his candidacy accepted in the same
open, generous manner, as the expo
nent of the material and educational
interests of the district and not as the
representative of an obsolete political
creed.
The names which appear in this
issue of the LIGHT, of responsible
business men of this city, men not
usually prominent in political matters,
who have not only endorsed Col. Bel
knap's candidacy, but who have con-
scented to act upon the central cam
paign committee to whom the conduct
of the canvass is entrusted; the names
of these gentlemen, confined to no
particular party, are ample guarantee
of the business character of the cam
paign, and the business ideas which
attach to this opposition to the re-
election of the Hon. J. ID. Sayers as
congressional representatives of this
district. 1t is safe to say that but
very few of these gentlemen whose
names are given the voters of this
Tenth Texas congressional district as
constituting the central campaign
committee committed to the election
of Col. Belknap, if possible, would
have been found backing up the
claims of any man on purely party
grounds. Their support is given to
Col. Belknap's nomination for reasons,
at once sound in principle and alike
honorable to him and to them.
