The Greatest
Spring Tonic.

At this season of the year almost
every one experiences sensation OF
general lassitude and debility, which,
if neglected, results in a low, vitiated
condition of the vital forces, that
follows the sufferer throughout the
summer, and usually terminates in
some form of malarial or typhoid
fever. If, however, the patient has
the wisdom to take some reliable
remedy that gently acts on the slug
gish liver, enabling it to speedily
carry off all impurities, while at the
same time the system is vitalized and
invigorated, and the blood enriched,
the result is a condition of vigorous
health. This result is invariably

Ancient Urns of Clay.

In June last an interesting archaeological
discovery was made at Sonderby, on the
West coast of Jutland. 1t consisted of
about thirty urns of clay found in a mass
at depth of three feet. They occupied an
area four feet wide and ten feet long
Formerly there was shallow lake here.
Most of the vessels rested upon rough
stones, but there was no trace of stone
walls Or roof; they varied from two to
eight inches in height. In most of them
lay ashes and remnants of calcined bones,
while the bottom was lined with some
reed.like kind of grass. Some of the urns
had lids, but others appear to have been
placed id the earth open. Most of them
were very simple in form. with smooth
sides, but on some of the larger there were
three knots at the sides. and attempts at
rough ornamentation. No metal or stone
implement was found. In the same moss
some hugh oak trunks were also dug ONT

An interest Machine.

This is labor-saving age. Man is
always in a hurry, and his legs and
arms not being swift enough, he has
harnessed steam and electricity, and
makes them work for him. If it is pos
sible to do any thug with a machine,
the machine is certain to be invented.
After awhile, If. this goes on, it will
only be necessary to sit down and lett the
machine do every thing for us except
eat, drink, sleep and think. The latest
mechanical wonder is a machine by
which the interest on any sum from ten
thousand dollars to one dollar, from
ten years to one day, at any rate per
cent, may be determined in thirty sec
onds by simply turning a knob. An
interest sheet is wound around the roll

Log Cabin Grandmothers.

An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
IN common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, valu-
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
| about this fact.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
| just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
of the plant. In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
quired.
Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as Of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted so
great an influence in the maintenance of
| health and life?
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces Of machinery strike
US most by their exceeding simplicity:
The secret of the success of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundant1y supplied with fresh
leaves. roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. Dreadlng to call q doctor be-
CO ,se Of the expensiveness Of his far made

and high tucked gown, and perchance be-
specialized IN rough silver, her weary feet
encased in 'shum nlade'' slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view Of many
q man and woman to-day as the early years
Of life pass In retrospect
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire of a
Well-known philanthropist in whose ances-
trail line were eight "goodly physicians" of
the old style, men who never saw medical
college save in the woods, nor medical
diploma except that inscribed on the faces
of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formula, which today are put forth
as LOG Cabin remedies"-sarsaparila hops
and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
famous and standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These Oldest, new
est and best preparations have been recog-
nized as OF such superexcellence that to-day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col Ethan Alien was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was skillful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
parilla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.

THE GOORKHA'S KNIFE.
Daflng Single-Handed Encounter
With a Bengal Tiger.

Many years ago, when the King O
Dude still reigned in Lucknow, little
dreaming how soon the English were &c
come and rule in his stead, two mer
stood together on the upper veranda oil
the palace, which rose far above all the
other buildings around it. 1t was a
me spring evening, and the crimson
glow OF sunset was lighting up the fat
roefed houses and white-domed tenn
pies of the great city, and the green
fields, waving woods and shining
streams that lay outspread for MANY a
mile around it.
But, splendid as the view was. the
two men seemed to pay but little heed
to it. Their attention was fixed upon
the spacious courtyard below, where
the native soldiers of the Kings body
guard were going through their exer-
clses; and the whole court was alive
with the tiutter of silken banners, and
the din OF barbaric music, and the clash
and ring OF steel, as the dark faces, and
white turbans, and many-colored
dresses, and glittering weapons, surged
to and fro like the waves of a stormy
sea.
by the keen, critical look with which
the two spectators (who were both in
European dress) watched the maneu-
vers of the soldiers, one would have
guessed them at once to be army Of
ficers, even without the evidence of their
SCARED faces and straight, well-knit
frames.
But, although both were lnmistak-
ably soidier-like, they were so in very
opposite ways. The one, tall, slim,
dandified young fellow, with a pointet,
black mustache, was French captain
OF dragons; the other, short, square,
thick-set, grizzled, with whiskers as
thick and wiry as a bralnble-bush. was
an English colonel of Bengal native in
fantry.
swell, you may say what you please,
my dear Colonel" said Captain De
Vautran, 'but you'll never persuade
me that these Asiatics of yours can be
made into soldiers. Remember, we
Frenchmen tried it ourselves hundred
years ago, and you know what came
of it,
Perhaps you didn't try long enough, -
answered the Colonel, quietly. 81 don't
say that those fellows down yonder are
bit to face European troops, but | think
l could show you some others that
would be.
At that moment there appeared on
the terrace behind them a large.
swarthy, heaey-built man, whose en-
broidered robes and ieweled sword-hilt,
with the splendid ruby that sparkled ia I
the front of his snow-wlaita tnrban. |
showed him to be a person of some con-
sequence. His face was somewhat bloat-
ed and discolored, as if from habitual
over-feeding and want of exercise; but
there was nothing in it save the rest
less, sldelong glance of his small black !
eyes to mark him as one of the most
pltiless tyrants in all India. Yet such
was actually the case, for this man YVES

evening there was a great demand for
assistants on the stage. Tom Williams,

manager was gazing hopelessly about the
auditorium and urging athletes to ad-
vance, one OF his local lieutenants caught
sight of a well known club man who had
stepped across from Library hall to the
gallery of the theater for an instant. The
wag called the attention of the master of
ceremonies to the new recruit, and in
