A"elNau's Despair.

"Death would be preferable to this
awful, dragging down sensation and
aching back" dispairingly complained
a suffering mother, "And the worst of
it is" she added, "there seems no cure
for it," "You are Mistaken" replied
the sympathisins neighbor to whom
the sufferer complained. ~ suffered

scribed DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, which cured me, and have ever
since been well, and the wealth OF In
dia would not induce me to be without
the remedy, if a like affection should
return" 'Favortte Prescription" is
the only medicine for women, sold by
druggists, under a positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will
give satisfaction in every case, or money
will be refunded. This guarantee has
been printed on the bottle-wrapper,
and faithfully carried out for many
years.

Where the Raven is Adored.

In the Soudan the respect for the
Bird Of the Shade is %unbounded;
he is endearingly known to the
Arabs as their Uncle" and they
are more exorbitantinexacting blood
money for his chance slaughter by
the hand of the stranger than if it
were really the relative in question.
Shoot their dove, their ostrich,
their varied scavengers of the vul.
ture kind, their o%ncc-sacred ibis even,
and they grin and bear it; but once
aim a bolt at the Noah Bird" and
a hundred lean but muscular brown
arms will be raised, and the bereav-
ed white-teetilcd relatives will
gesticulate and shout round you,
while they explain how black-hued
was your accidental crime. Apart
from this. the raven. with his jetty
plumage, will always be a point of
interest in the Soudan from the
strong contrast he presents to the
ordinary "desert-colorcd" birds
which preserve q neutral tint ofgray
or fawn, which, to the inexperienced
eye, renders them almost invisible.

strolled into a commission house at
the Elk Street Market, where stood
a bushel basketful of eggs. The
stranger looked at them awhile, and
then deliberately stepped into the

brought out the proprietor. See

Not all have learned the fine art
of leave-taking in an appropriate
manner. When you are about TO
depart, do SO at once, gracefully and
politely, and with no dalIy!ng, Don't
say, ats ahont time I was going"
and settle back and talk on aimlessly
for another ten minutes. Some peo-
pie have just such a tiresome habit.
They will even rise and stand about
the room in various attitudes, keep
ing their hosts also standing, and
then by an effort succeed in getting
as far as the hall, when q newthought
strikes them. They brighten up
vlsibly and stand for some minutes
longer, saying nothing of import
ance, but keeping every one in a
restless, nervous state. After the
door is opened the prolonged leave
taking begins, and everybody in
general and particular is invited to
call. Very likely a last thought
strikes the departing visitor, which
his friends must risk a cold to hear
to the end. What a relief when the
door is finally closed! There is no
need of being Extensively abrupt,
when you are ready to go-go.

ANuremburgc chemist, DR.. Kayser,
has succeeded in coating metals with
an alloy resembling German silver,
thus giving them a handsome finish,
and making the surface more dura'
BILE and permanent than hat of tin
or silver. The account given Of this
valuable porcess states that DR..
kayser first melts together one part
copper and FIVE parts pure tin
preferably the Australian, which
has recently come into commerce,
almost absolutely pure, yet cheaper
than Banca tin. This alloy is granu.
lated as usual, but not too fine, and
then mixed with water and tarter,
as free from lime as possible, into a
paste. To each two hundred parts
OF the graduated alloy is added one
part ignited oxide Of nickel, and the
articles are laid on it. After boil
ing a short time, they become beau
tifully silvered. Some fresh oxide
of nickel must of course be added
from time to time. 1t Is stated that
brass and copper articles can easily
be silvered in this manner without
preparation /; those Of iron have
first to be copper.plated. in order to
secure the best result.
Selt-admires and selfhatterers ars
really selfdeceivers.
