A Prominent Merchant in Trouble.

A Prominent Merchant in Trouble.
Old moneybags mopes in his Office all DAY,
AS snapplsh and cross as bear;
The clerks know enough to keep out of his
way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and
swear.
Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear of cuff,
Or kick, if she ventures too near;
They all know the master is apt to be rough,
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old fellow so surly and
grim,
And behave so confoundedly means
There's certainly something the matter with
Is it stomach, or liver, or spleen?
We've guessed this liver is sluggish and
bad,
His blood is disordered and foul.
g enough to make any one hopelessly
mad,
And greet his best friend with growl
The worldwide remedy, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, will correct a
disordered liver and purify the blood, tone
your system and build up your flesh and
strength.

Something Pleasant.

"Can't you say something pleasant
to me?" said husband to his wife as
he was about to start for his Office.
They had had little quarrel, and he
was willing to ''make up"
"Ah, John'' responded the penitent
lady, throwing her arms around his
neck, ''forgive my foolishness. We
were both in the wrong. And don't
forget the baby's shoes, dear. and the
ton of coal, and we are out of potatoes;
and John, love, you know you must
leave me some money for the gas

A Great Physician Disregards tho Man
ID, dates of Royalty.

Great Physician Disreg:ards tho Man.
dates Of Royalty.
DR.. Radclif was the most celebrated
physician Of England in Queen Anne's
time. ..,.
He amassed very large fortune, and
was for many years the physician to the
Queen as wen as to most Of the English no
bility. For some reason the Queen took q
dislike to him at one time, and dismissed
him as Court physician. In her last ILL
ness, however, she sent for him.
He refused to obey the summons, declar-
ing ''slnce her Majesty's case is 50 desper-
ate and her distemper incurable, hardly
think it proper to give her any disturbance
In her last moments, so near at hand, but
rather let her die as easy as possible"
DIR. Radclif observed, short time before
his death, ''when was young and yet un-
skilled in medicine, possessed at least
twenty remedies for every disease; but,
healing, know more than twenty diseases
for which have not evensa single rem
edy."
The late DR.. Holland, who was an edu-
Gated physician, some years before he died,
said in Scribner's Monthly: SIT is a fact
that many of the best proprietary medicines
OF the day are more successful than many
physicians, and most of them were first dis
covered or used in actual medical practice
When, however, any shrewd person. know
ing their virtue and foreseeing their popu-
Iarlty, secures and advertises them, in the
opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went cut
of them"
The late DR.. Dio Lewis, who seldom pre-
scrlbed any medicine, wrote to the propri-
etor of Warmers safe cure ''If found ny-
self the victim of serious kidney trouble,
should use your preparation. The testi-
mony of hundreds of intelligent and very
reputable gentlemen hardly leaves room to
doubt that you have fallen upon one Of those
happy discoveries which occasionally bring
aid to sufferin humanity.
Dr. r. A. Gum, Dean of the q. S. Medical
College of New York, sometime since wrote
and published: 'sThe ingredients of War
ner's safe cure are among the most valuable
medicines of our materia medica, and the
combination is such as to insure the best
possible action on the kidneys and urinary
Organs.'
Dr. W. E. Robson of London, late sur
geon in the Royal Navy, wrote to the Fam
lily Doctor: "Having had more than seven
teen years. experience in my profession, I
conscientiously and emphaucally state that
have been able to give more relief and ef-
feet more cures by the use of Warmers safe
cure than by all other medicines ascertaina-
bic to the profession"
DR.. Andrew Wilson, F. R. S. E. editor of
AeaAh, London, Eng, advises a CORE
spondent of his paper: ''Warner's safe cure
IS perfectly safe and perfectly reliable"
These are physicians so skilled, so inde-
pendent, so honest, so true to the conscien-
:lous teachings of heir noble profession
that they dare tell the truth, to Kings or
queens Or the whole world.

Hiding Diamonds.

Mrs. Henxip,ss of South Orange sent
her shoes to William Van Iderstine's
shoe store Friday evening by a small
boy, who went through the street
swinging them in his two hands, and
finally deposited them in the shoedeal-
er's hands with a request to stretch
them. Mr.. Van Iderstine thrust his
fingers into one of the shoes, as all
shoemakers do on such occasions. He
found an obstruction, and, tugging
at it, he brought to light a small
chamois bag containing four brilliant
unset diamonds. Shaking the shoe
vigorously, he spilled out a pair of dia-
mond earrings, two cluster rings. two
solitaire rings. and a handsome cluster
brooch. After giving way to astonish-
ment for some minutes, the shoemaker
gathered up the precious jewelry and
hastened to Mrs. Henriques' house.
"What do you keep in your shoes?"
he asked.
II do not know" answered the lady,
''unless it may be few diamonds. I
sometimes put diamonds away for safe
keeping by hiding them in my shoes.
Did you find any?"
MIR. Van Iderstine then handed over
the property, remarking that she must
be forgetful, She took the stones in a
matter-of-fact way, merely remarking
that it was rather careless. Judges Of
precious stones who saw the collection
said that $4,000 would not more than
cover the value.-New York Sun.

An Ocean Yoyager's Predicament.

A queer incident at sea comes from
Liverpool through the passengers OF the
Anchor Line steamer City of ltome. A
saloon passenger named Hilmans became
very hilarious as the steamer dropped
anchor off Queenstown. He was in his
statcroom at the time, and in his exuber-
ance of spirits showed his head through
the port hole to get better view OF the
pretty little Irish town on the hill beyond:
Hilmans saw all he wanted to, but lol
when he tried to withdraw his head ne
found he could not do so. In the mean
time the steamer had started. The day
was stormy and the big waves dashed
into the face of the unfortunate Hilmans-
Then the Rome began to roll, and every
time she careened to one side the victim
of his own curiosity was ducked into the
sea. His vigorous cries finally brought
assistance, but not until he had tainted
number of times and was nearly ex-
hausted. It took over an hour to ex-
tricate the man from his peri!ous posi-
ton, and then 1t was only by saving out
enough of the steamers plate to enable
Hilmans to take his head out OF chancery.

Chinese BeygarS.

A writer IN Shanghai journal, re-
ferring to the beggars of China, says
that large donations are given to them
by the people, but these are IN the
nature of an insurance. In the cities
the beggars are organized into very
powerful guilds, more powerful by far
Than any organization with which they
have 10 contend, ior the begggars have
nothing to lose and no,h'ng to fear. in
which respect they stand alone. The
shopkeepcr who should refuse donation
to stalwart beggar, after the latter has
waited for considerable time and has
besought with what lawyers call "due|
diligence" would be liable to invasion|
from horde of fanished wretches, whoI
would render the existence even of al
stoEd Chinese o burden, and would
utterly prevent the transaction Of any
business until their continually rising
demands should be met. Both the shop
kct tper and the beggar understand this
perfectly well, and it is for this reason
that the gifts flow in steady, if tiny
