ABOUT DOCTORS BILLS.

Many struggling family has all it can
do 10 keep the wolf from the door, without
being called upon to pay frequent and ex-
orbitant bills for medical advice and at
tendance.
True, the doctor is often a necessary,
though expensive visitant of the family
circle; nevertheless pure and well tested
| remedies-like Warmers Safe Cure-kept
on hand for use when required will be
found a paying investment for every
household in the land.
Sickness is one of the legacies of life, and
yet every i'll that flesh is heir to has an
antidote in the laboratory of nature.
Hon. H. II. Warner, of Rochester, n Y,
President of the Chamber of Commerce of
that city, was few years ago stricken with
kidney disease, which the physicians de-
clared incurable. In this extremity, a
| friend recommended to him a vegetable
preparation now known throughout the
civilized world as Warmers Safe Cure. He
| tried it, and was quickly restored to perfect
health. The incident led him to begin the
manufacture of the wonderful preparation,
and to make its merits known il all tongues
and among all peoples.
He has now laboratories and warehouses
| in the United States not only, but in Can
| ada, England, Germany, Austria, Australia
! and Burmah. His preparations meet the
requirements and effect the cure of a va
riety of diseases, and are all compounded
| from medicinal plants of the highest virtue.
Mr.. Warner is man of affairs, of
| wealth. culture and the highest standing in
his own city and throughout the State. His
character is The best guarantee of the pur-
| ity and excellence of his renowned rene
| dies, which may be found in every first
class drug store in Europe and America.

About the Mind Cure.

Now, in view of what has been done in
curing disease by the aid of mental infu.
ence, the public has right to demand that
our physicians shall give us the benefit OF
this healing agency. Mental influence is
pleasant and inexpensive medicine; it
cures in some cases where drugs fail, and
it shortens the term of sickness and
lightens its pain in many other cases Z;
furthermore, it has no injurious incidental
effects. But the mind cure should be
taken out of the hands of the unframed
and irresponsible Missionaries and imposters
who now practice it, or it will add a terri
bic amount of suffering and death to what
it has already caused. These enthusiasts,
carried away by their seeming successes in
few cases, insist that the mind cureis the
only treatment that is worth ANYTHING in all
diseases and for all persons They know
too little about the nature of disease to
recognize symptoms which indicate the
fitness of this agency, too little of science
in general to realize that means suitable
to remove one condition may be entirely
inadequate or unsuitable to counteract
another.-F A. Fe,naM IN Popular Science.

Blow me-" said the old seaman who
has before spoken in this story, i" if don't
think man who could betray such COM
mander and such ship must find punish
ment enough in overhauling the log of his
own conscience, without sending him to
soundings"
The feelings of the criminal, for he is a
criminal who betrays those who have con-
fided in him, may be better imagined than
described. He left the gun an altered
man. He was forgiven his sin.
Well knowing that the boldness of this
last adventure with cruiser Of the roval
navy would draw down certain destruction
upon them, the Captain and crew of the
lugger ran her into French port, where
she was sold and the proceeds equally di-
vided among the crew and officers, who
were henceforth disbanded.
Let us follow for moment gentle reader,
the life of this Captain Of the Dolphin
this smuggler of the Isle of Man.
Still actuated by a love of adventure and
fondness of the sea, he proceeded to Lon
don, where he was soon intrusted with a
| large merchant vessel in the West India
trade, as Captain, in which capacity he led
lucrative and adventurous life for several
years, subsequent to which he visited and
settled in America. On the breaking out
of the war with the mother country, his
ardent love for the principle for which our
fathers contended led him 70 offer his
services in behalf of liberty. He was ap-
pointed Captain of noble vessel, the first
of the American navy, and his was the
hand that raised first her flag upon the
blue water. With this vessel and others
with which he was subsequently intrusted,
he gained some of the most brilliant naval
victories ever won. Through his whole
service there was one faithful follower, who
never left him, and whose protecting arm
twice saved his life in the memorable bat
| tie between the Bon Homme Richard and
the Seraphis, the former of which he COM
manded. Reader, that follower was the
pardoned criminal of the Dolphin lugger
Would you follow this commander still
further? Congress passed public vote of
thanks to him for his gallant services, en-
downing him with the highest rank in the
American navy, which to this day is en-
balmed in the grateful hearts of free peo-

nYTNG

Round me are friends, with anxious, helping
hands,
And by my side my own love silent stands,
His pale face drawn with agony intense,
While lie, slowly losing soul and sense,
And going away, alone.
Out from my happy home, which all day long
Re-echoes with the children's joyous song,
And every night is shut out all the gloom
From brightly-lighted. softly -curtained room,
Now must CO. alone.
Back TO my childhood's well-remembered days
turn longing and regretful gaze;
Like some fair mirage in the eastern skies.
Old faces and old scenes before me rise
My mothers face all lined with anxious care
My fathers stately form, and silver hair,
My brothers, full of tender love and pride
May none of these now journey by my side?
No. must so alone
Ny husband. too, now standing by my side,
VINO, all these years. since | became his bride
Has kept his faithful way beside my own,
Must leave him now. and go forth alone?
MY children. whose soft, pattering, little feet,
Along with mine have echoed music sweet
Now must go forth, from them astray,
Where they will yainly try to keep the way?
Yes, must go alone
No though part from all my earthly friends
Swift messenger of light my Father SENDS
Whose bright wings bear me up on either hand
Until reach that glo ious, heavenly land;
do not go alone
IT'S you, my love, who must be left behind
Though friends surround you with their voice:
kind,
Though children cling to you with laugh and
song
Yet all the way, the weary way along,

A CALCULATING LOVER.
His Statistical Turn of Mind Loses Him
Bride.

He was of statistical turn of mind. In
fact, he was what might be called statis-
teal crank. He can tell you precisely how
long it would take man to walk from the
earth to the moon, if he walked twenty
miles day. He can tell to an inch the
number of miles the average woman will
walk while looking for her scissors during
an ordinary life time. He knows, or pre-
tends to know, the facts and figures about
everything
Well, one day this typical character,
whom we shall call Statisticus, was sitting
by the side of the young lady to whom he
was engaged to be married, when he sud-
denly drew notebook and pencil from
his breast pocket and began to cipher.
The young lady also began to sigh, for she
knew by sad experience that he was going
to spring some of his internal statistics
upon her. However, she asked
:" Are you writing poem about me?"
How many meals day do you get
away with ?" asked Statisticus
"Three, of course. What do you mean ?'
"Pll tell you in a minute, dearest" he
replied, working vigorously with his lead
pencil. After several other questions of
an efihioot Ills
arm around her waist, he said tenderly
Don't you want to know, dearest Fam
ny, how many beef steers, sheep, turkeys,
as well as barrels of -four, gallons of coffee,
hundred dozens of eggs, etc, have been
telescoped by this lovely, pouting, little
mouth ?"
" ! don't want to know anything of the
kind" she retorted angrily.
You would be surprised to learn that
during the last ten years alone you have
swallowed seventeen head of cattle, forty
seven sheep" he replied, once more work
ing his pencil. Then she got her dander
up, and for five minutes there was flow of
indignant eloquence that surprised him.
for he began a new calculation.
=" At the rate you were talking Just now,
Miss Fanny" he said as soon as she paused
for breath, "your lower jaw would in
twenty years travel distance equal to
l ,423, 67S miles, or twice as far as from the
moon to"
But she had fled, and when he called
again he was given the only be sister to
you" bounce-Teuas iSittinqs.

porter of the boss.
He didn't brush the mans head"
But his head was as bald as bone"
Certainly, and that's why he should
have brushed it. Bald-headed men are
