A Highland Habit.

From an English correspondent:
'sHighlanders, as you know, have the
habit, when talking English, such as it

noun 'he' where it is not required; such
as The King he has come Often,
therefore, sentence or expression is
rendered strange, as / am going to
prove. The Rev. Mac of a certain
Highland parish recently began his dis
course thus: My brethren, you will
find the subject Of this discourse in the
I. Epistle- General of the Apostle Peter,
chapter ", 8, in the words. ''The devil
he eth about as roaring lion seeking
whom he may devour." Now, my
friends, with your leave, we will divide
the subject into four heads: First, we
shall endeavor to ascertain who the
devil he was? Second, we shall in

viz: where the devil he was? Third
and this ola general character, who the

IT'S sad to see a woman growing old before

All broken-down and hopeless when life

She feels herself burden when blessing

And longs for death to bring her release

suffer from diseases peculiar to women
could only know that health could be re-
gained by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
prescription, how eagerly they would has
ten to avail themselves of it. They ought
to know it and try it. Every woman who
is still healthy ought to be told about the

Two brothers, William C. and Sidney
G. King, living at Newport, Washington

vertisement for vile which recently

argument. Finally Sidney offered to
bet $5UO against Williams farm that the

place. William is to marry the lady

Grave Cause for Anxiety

Exists when the kidneys lose their activity
Prompt measures should be taken to renew It.
otherwise Brights disease, diabetes, or some
other organic trouble, is to be apprehended as a
consequence. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
most desirable diuretic, as its stimulative action
upon these organs never crosses the border line
of safety and mergeS into irritation, as do many
stimulants used for the same purpose by the
careless and uninstructed. The stimuli of COM
meree, fiery and unmedieated, are not suitable
corrective agents in case like this. They ex-
cite without producing permanently desirable
result. The "iust medium between them and
an Intellectual diuretic is the Bitters. which is
also specific for malarial complaints, dyspep-
STA, constipation and rheumatism.
