his treatment came near killing me. / eni-
ployed an old physician and then went to
KY. then went to Hot Springs and re-
manned two months, but nothing seemed to
cure me permanently although temporary
relief was given me. My condition grew
desperate and applied to noted quack,
but did not improve. then used pre-
paration which was prescribed gratis
but it contained too much alcohol and ag
gravated my sufferings. then placed my
self under the treatment of q noted Nashville
physician and for time was benefited, but
by fall / returned home ruined man phys
ically and financially, with but little pros.
pect of ever getting well. My money be-
ing exhausted, did not know what to do.
In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me to
get bottle of B. B.. B. (made in Atlanta)
and did so to crafty her, but to my utter
establishment / had not finished my first
bottle before every ulcerhad been healed.
To the present time / have used five bot
ties and have received more benefit than
from all the rest combined; and / am salts.

Tho Miserable Wages Earned by Now
York's Needle-Workers.
The number of women in this city
who earn their living by the needle, is
difficult to ascertain. There are hun
dreds of establishments on all the bust
ness streets where sewing is either
done or given out to be done. A re-
porter recently asked two sewing girls
what sort of living they made.
"How much are you paid for MAX
ing those garments?" asked the re-
porter. IfH F..

The garments referred to were thick
wooden jackets. They were wadded,.
lined with alpaca and had the appear
ance OF a garment made by an adept.
The sewing-machine did most of the
straight work, but the buttonholes,'
putting in the lining, and other work
had to be done by hand. The seams
had been pressed, the threads picked
OIL and the garments were neatly fold
ed and all ready to be sold. Wages
for the making of underwear, and in
deed for all gentlemen's apparel, have
dropped considerably during the past
few years. The pay of the girls who
make up the smaller articles, such as
gloves and neckties, does not average
more than S. week. Many have to
be content with less, and Sc is consid-
cred good pay nowadays. Most of the
work is done by piece. Mems drawers
are made complete for so cents a

complete for so cents a dozen. Striped
calico and white shirts are made for 65

the price and sees that the work is
satisfactorily done. If it is not good it is
not paid for. Forewoman's wages vary
from SIS to $40 a week. A button
counter gets 50 week during the busy
season and Sc during the slack time.
When the new shirts come from the
laundry she counts the buttons to sec

Through the tears l still must shed,
Through the evil yet to be,
Though l falter while ! sing
"Still support and comfort me-"
IAN my trus on Thee is stayed"-
Does the rythm of the song,
Softly falling on my heart,
Make its pulses firm and strong?
Or is this Thy perfect peace,
Now descending while sing,
That my soul may sleep tonight
"Neath the shadow of Thy wing ?"
"Thou Of life the fountain art )"
IF / slumber on Thy breast,
If l sing myself to Sleep
Sleep and death alike are rest
Through the shadows of thepast,
Through the shadows yet to be,
Let the ladder of my song
-HRise to all eternity"
Note by note, in silver bars,
May my soul in love ascend,
Till reach the highest round
In Thy kingdom without end.
Not impatiently I sing,
Though l lift my hands and cry

Let me to Thy bosom fly !"

 The Earl of Crawford and Balcarres pro- poses to hand over the entire equipment of his well known observatory at Dunscht, Aberdeenshire, to the Royal Observatory at Edinburgh, on condition that that institu- tion shall remain, as heretofore, in charge of the crown. The force of this proposal can. not be appreciated unless it Is remembered that in the universities (Scotland) bill, now before Parliament, it is proposed to transfer the observatory, the astronomer royal and the whole establishment, with the charges thereof from the crown to the University of Edinburgh. This course is strongly objected to by the university and by the public. The Duneoht observatory is the most complete private establishment of the kind-in Scot- land at least. Besides very fine collection of astronomical apparatus it includes me neurological section, a physical laboratory and library of fifteen thousand volumes. The instruments, which have been accumu- lating for sixteen years, comprise a fifteen inch equatorial refraetor by Grubb, twelve inch silvered refractor by Brown ing, meridian circle by Simms, and sev- eral small but powerful telescopes. Of the spectroscopes, one is described as undoubt- 6 great electro magnet which is said to have no equal anywhere. The collection includes many other instruments, both as- tronomical, meteorological and electrical, and are ali in excellent working order, as Lord Crawford has for many years main- tained an efficient staff in the observatory.
