A Wonderful Food Medicine

Known and used by physicians all over
the world. SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives flesh and strength by virtue of its
own nutritious properties, but creates an
appetite for food that builds up the
wasted body. Il have been using Scott's
Emulsion for several years, and am
pleased with its action. My patients say
that it is pleasant and palatable, and all
grow stronger and gain flesh from the use
of it. I use it in all cases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for
children when nutriment medication is
needed. as in Marasmus #. w. PIERCE,

and who had a shrewd idea of his
financial contlition,s Who offered him
$50 month to impart to his daughter
the genuine English accent. OF course,
he accepted, and tried his best to earn

DRINKING ICE WATER.

That cool, refreshing drinks in warm
weather are delicious, is undeniable.
That drinking ice water in copious
draughts when person is overheated is
injurious. not to say dangerous, is also
undeniable. But that the free drinking
Of water in some form in hot weathsr
must be avoided Is deniable, and is one
Of the greatest popular errors extant.
When person is perspiring freely from
every pore. vast amount of water is
drawn from the body, which must be

of some OF the worst forms of Kidney
disease is being slowly but surely laid
Why someone will exclaim, that is just
what causes kidney trouble, drinking
water freely which contains 30 much
lime. Wrong again! 80 long as the water
drank is freely carried through the sys-
tenn, aud converted in its passage to the
naturally acid reaction Of the urine and
Precipitation, no danger can occur, by
deposits of urea or lime in the kidneys
and bladder; because they remain per.
fectly in solution and are carried out of
the body instead of remaining in it,

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN MAN
NERS.

No time can ever reconcile cis-At'
lantic ear to the heartiness with which
an otherwise well bred English lady will
talk frankly of clubbing" aud Of ''clean
ing herself" 1t suggests the complaint
made by Lord Melbourne of certain Lon
don beauties that they gave him too
much OF their natural history. lido no
know any well educated Americans ex
cept one or two Southern lady novelists
who habitually use the word 'nigger,
but in English literature and speech il
seems universal. Froude employs il
through all of his books of travel anC

Ewin uses it in her pretty stories. Sht

where. LAS rule" writes James Payr
from London, in the New York Inde-
pendent, Il hate people that stink oI

constantly placed in the absurd position
of being lecturcd for want OF refined

Anglicism had not yet crossed the At

alton as if the Venus of Milo had opened
her marble lips and had begun to curse
and sweIr. The trouble Is, that such
phrases reach us also very rapidly, and
take root among us like other weeds
No doubt America furnishes come slang
to England also, and we often go to
London TO hear it for the first time from
cultivated lips. But it must be remem-
beIed that pugilists and circus riders are
not here to be found so frequently in
fast dious circles, and thus our opportu-
mites of picking up their flowers OF
speech are more limited than IN London.
But ii must must be remembered, in
justice, that this lack Of eensit:veness in
the Englishman is at the foundation, not
merely Of any dement's, but Of some OF
his most conspicuous virtues, and espec'
tally of his energetic self assertion. The
Americans err in the opposite direction,
and both faults and virtues are often
due, in his case. to the quality OF being
too thInSkinned.-[rhe Forum.

VICIOUS LITERATURE,

All the quaintness and innocence of
childhOod-its originality its tenderness,
its sprightful tricks, its infinite, uncon-
scious drollery, the serious earnestness
of its fun, the natural religion of its
plays, the delicious oddity of its say
ings-all, all disappear when the child
has fed its mind on that pernicious lit
erature which the great cities spread
over The country. 1t is next to impossi-
BILE to reform those who have lost all
faith in the sincerity. honor or goodness
of human nature-wh6belie that peo-
pie in general are all bad, who have
been taught that all criminals are he
roes. In such hearts there is reser-
voir Of age and vice, invisible save when
some flame, hotter than usual, bursts
momentarily forth. And il our nation
al life is growing worse, if society is
growing more corrupt, IL is because our
young men and women who are enter
ing into manhood and womanhood have
in childhood fed their minds on perni-
cious literature, Childhood is the time
when the ideals of life are formed. In
the dreams of childhood are found the
germs Of many mans career. The
seeds sown in the mind Of the child will
terminate into the character OF the man
and ripen into the pleasant fruit of good
deeds or the Dead Sea apples of sin.
And so ifwe would have citizens capa-
BILE by voice and vote, of wisely gov
erning and directing the affairs of the
nation, we must see to il that the chill
dren of the land are early taught TO be
manly and honest, pure and true Ar

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now TO be afflicted?
II you will remember few years ngo
the word Malaria was com p araiivrly un
known,-to day 1t is as co nmon as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning OF an
other word used by our forefalhers in
time past. So it is with nervous diseases.
as they and Malaria are intended to
cover what our grandfathers called
BiliOusness. and all are cause by troubles
that arise from a diseased condition Of
the Liver which in performing It's func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channels is
compelled to pass it off through the sys-
tenn, causing nervous troubles, Malaria,
Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffer-

The mower pauses to wipe his brow,
And whet his scythe SO keen;
The calm, grand, lake lay far below,
It's surface red with sunset glow;
graveyard lay between.
The mower saw the beauteous sheet,
Sprinkled with islands green;
Saw bathers plunge in Its waters sweet;
But the distance held his weary feet,
And the graveyard lay between.
So can see joyous throng,
On sea of golden sheen;
hear the harp, the gladsome song,
But my feet are weary the way is long,
Aud the graveyard lies between,
The sea OF glass, the blissfll shore,
Though cloudsoft intervene.
