PUBLIC BENEFACroA

"Who is II. H. Warner, of Roches
ter, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es
pecially Warner's Safe Cure, have at
tanned such success and celebrity ai
home and abroad?"
The question Is inspired as much by
Affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou.
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored to health and happi.
ness.
Hon. H. II. Warner, then, is Q
leading and honored resident Of
Rochester, not only, but prominent
and influential citizen Of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as q National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,
he has been q member of the Repub-
can State Committee and of its Exc
cutiye Committee. He is q member
OF the American Institution for the
Advancement Of Science; President
OF the Rochester Chamber of Com
merce; a successful and upright busi-
ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory OF
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
muniticent prizes for the discovery OF
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio floods, the FIRE dis
asters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 to IS, 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need Of more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
fscture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, he Was miraculously restored 10
health by what is now known az
Warmers Safe Cure. At once he re-
solved TO make known the merits OF SO
potent a remedy, and the consequence
is that to-day he has immense labora-
tories and warehouses in the United
States, Canada. England, Germany, |
Austria, Australia and Burmah. sales |
OF his Safe Remedies are enormous,
and their power over disease simply |
marvellous.
The merit Of . production Is in ex-
act keeping with the character OF its 4
producer. An honest and reliable /
man himself, Mr.. Warner makes
honest and reliable medicines-a fact
abundAntly sttested by their pheno-
nsnAi efficacy and popularity.

Strange Customs.

There are n thousand strange, odd
superstitlons and customs floating
amo ng the vast multitude of people
that would seem to have originated
In II mad brain. Among them is
one TO this effect: If you will throw
the last worn shirt of drowned
person into the stream the garment
will sink right down over the body.
In the Nodaway river, near Oregon,
Missouri, some years ago, the body
of IA drowned man was found thus
when all other means had failed.
On Sunday, August ith, last,
near the same place IN that river, II
young man, son of Jerry Ryan, aged
about eighteen, was drowned and
after several vain trials ut recovering
the body II was suggested to try the
plan above mentioned. Accordingly
Minor Taylor took the garment
lately worn by the youth and that
still laid near the bank where he
had deposited II before he went In
bathing, and east 1t on the surface
of the stream, spread out with arms
extended aud bosom down. Slow
ly il iloated along, Mr.. Taylor fol-
lowing IN his skill, when about
hundred feet below IL suddenly
stopped and plunged down. The
pole IN hylor's hand followed right
after and struck the body. Mr..
Taylor related this In the presence of
several witnesses who corrobomted
his statements, Thus was the body
recovered.
"How did you happen 10 hit on
this plan?" was asked Of Mr., Taylor.
"After We had been trying for
long time some one reminded the
crowd of the finding OF the booy of u
man near there by throwing In his
shirt. So we just picked up the
'hirt there and put Il In the river as
told you. The shirt just stopped

All Were Pretty.

Here is a story that General Pierce
Young tells: Away up in Georgia
mountains lies Catoosa Springs, a
favorite summer resort of Savan-
nah and Atlanta society people.
Among the pines and breezes Of the
hills the fever and lassitude bred
from the low country disappear
like magic. One day General
Young saw an old fellow come up
with a basket Of eggs and bunch
Of chickens for the hotel people
and recognized an old trooper Of his
command.
"Jake," he called out; Jake Dor
ridge, how are you?"
"Why, laws a massy, general,
how-de-do? / han't seen you sence
the wah."
They chatted for a few minutes.
"Do you come up here often,
Jake?u
"Pooty nigh every day. Tie
folks wants my chickens m aigs.
/ like to rest my eyes a lookin' at
some o. these yer pooty gals"
"They are handsome, aren't they,
Jake?u
"Deed they air."
"Now, jake" said General
Young, waving his hand toward
group Of three young ladies with
whom he had been chatting, "tell
me which Of those young ladies is
the prettiest."
"Aw, Gineral Young, they are all
pooty. 'Twouldn't be good man
neers for me to say that AIRY one was
pootier'n t'other."
"But, Jake, it will give them
great deal Of pleasure to learn your
opinion. They are great friends and
will not feel at all hurt by your de-
cision. Now walk right up and
pick out the best looking"
After much solicitation Jake un-
dertook the task. He walked up
and peered closely at the laughing
girls. About 100 guests had gath
cred by this time to see the trial.
Finally Jake turned, scratching his
head. All three Of the young ladies
wore broad sashes around their
waists.
"Gineral Young they are all three
30 pooty it is hard to make a choice,
but still am forced to say that the
one with the yaller belly-band is a
|eetle the trimmest."
There was scream, II flutter of
white dresses, and three blushing
young ladies with various colored
sashes dashed into the hotel and
out of fsight.-Washington Post.

Matrimonial.

Married people will please read as writ
ten, single ones can read the first line, then
the third, and then the second, and finally
the fourth in each verse.
That man must lead happy life,
who's freed from matrimonial chains
Who is directed by his wife
Is sure to suffer for his pains.
Adam could find no solid peace,
When Eve was given for a mate
Until he saw woman's face,
Adam was in a happy state.
In all the female face appears
Hypocri?y, deceit and pride;
Truth, darling Of heart sincere,
Ne'er known in woman to reside.
What tongue IL able TO unfold
The falsehood that in woman dwells;
The worth In woman we behold
Is almost imperceptible.
Cursed be the foolish man, say,
Who changes from his singleness;
Who will not yield to woman's sway,
Is sure Of perfect blessedness.

ABOUT the time of the first issue
of "greenbacks" by the government,
there was some discussion about
placing IN appropriate scriptural
motto on the bills, In accordance
with an old custom of stamping one
upon coins. Secretary Chase con-
suited with several persons, among
others the president ofa Philadelphia
bank. After mentioning several
scrlptural texts that had occurred To
him, the Secretary asked the bank

reply, "the most appropriate would
