eooG he has done is illustrated in the follow.
ing marvellous instance: Jan. II, 1888,
George C. Osgood & Co., druggists, Lowell,
Mass, wrote: 'Mr. Lewis Dennis, No. 1876
Moody ST.. desires to recommend st. Jacobs
Oil to any afflicted with rheumatism, and
desires especially to say that Orrin Robinson,
of Granville, Mass, boy of IL years, came
to his house in the Summer Of 1881 walking
upon clutches, his left leg having been bent
at the knee for over two months and could
not be bent back. He could not walk upon
it Mr.. Dennis had some ST. Jacobs Oil in
the house and gave it to him to rub on his
knee. In six days he had no use for his
crutches and went home well without them,
and he has been well since St Jacobs Oil cured
him" In July, 1887, inquiry was made of the
Messrs. Osgood to ascertain the condition OF
the little cripple, which brought the follow
ing response: Lowell, Mass, July 8, 1851
The poor cripple on crutches, Orrin Robin
son, cured by st. Jacobs Oil in 1881, has re-
manned cured. The young man has been
and is now at work every day at manual

The speaker was young man with

"Irene," he continued, eff all the
wealth Of devotion that moved Leander
to swim the Hellespont, that burned in
the breast of Abelard, inspired the muse

of Pygmalion, and carolled forth in the
immortal songs of Tom Moore.-if the
aggregated affection of Solomon for his

The Rage for Old Silver.

The rage for old silver is growing to
be virulent, and is replacing the med
excitement which existed with us some
years ago in the collection of ceramics.
There are difficulties in the way of this
last fad, for real antique silverware al
ways commands a market, and the
value of ceramics is more or less fuc-
tuating. A rare bit of old china or
pottery is often picked up in the most
out of-the-way places, but rarer is it to
find beautiful piece of silver over
looked by the passing bric-a-brac
hunter. Since it has become regular
trade to collect in European towns old
silver to export to America, bushels of
apostle spoons with q more or less
authentic pedigree have found their
way across the water and into American
cabinets of curios. The mistake which
the enthusiastlin old silver is apt to
make is that want of discrimination be-
tween what is artistic in design and
that which is crude and ugly in work
manship. While nothing can be more
beautiful than artistic silver, certainly
nothing is more unattractive than that
which Is inelegant and coarse. Boston

DON'T liant to Go 1t Alone.

The recent discussion on the subject
of railway compartments for ladies
gives interest to the following extract
from humorous work by M. Pierre
Gifard, by which it will be seen that
with regard to this subject, at all
events, human nature is the same in
France as it is in England: There is a
compartment for danes seules. How
many lances have not been broken in
the press ten years ago in order to in
duce railway companies to reserve a
compartment in every train for ladies |!
But have you noticed how many women
object to travel in these compartments?
These DIRECTORS are of various ages and
of various classes; they comprise ele-
CANT ladies, virtuous ones, as we'll as
sprightly and simple ones. If you
ask them why they do not travel in a

We would be pleased to know of man or
woman who has never had headache or been
subject to constipation. As these seem to
be universal troubles little advice may be
in order. Why should persons cram their
stomachs with nauseating purgative pills
