There is reason in everything. out not

clothes, for instance, common sense and the
dentistry of everyday life teach ~ that GER
tain things must be done. while others NAV
be left undone. Clothes must be made
clean, sweet, pure AMI Wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
laundrcss. If these objects can be attained
it does not matter to what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder no mat
ter what it is called, that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the hsndiest
Some things, however. are important TO
observe. The dirt and all soa, must be en-
tirely rem wed from the interstces of the
clothes a I'd all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes. as hey can b. rlPansed
in no other way-snd wish mt in any man
ner injurtny the fabric As there is no
royal road to learning, neither is there any
easier, surer or safer way OF washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteria than by using
Pyle's Pearline, and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap

yards island had 10 this city at The stable Of
James keessn some horses for sale and
that the respondent vino resides in Vienna,
came 10 bay one that he selected an animal
fOr which he wa to pay the sum Of $3.50;
that he claimed to have no money with him
And desired TO give bis note for the amount.
And Is is alleged IN the indictment that he
falsely and fraudulentiy prete nded TO the
owner Of the horse thst he vas the owner Of
farm 10 Vienna on which he then lived
that he had Just built = nice barn on the
farm and wa, going to build house on it al
once, and that he was the ovaer of large
amount Of personal property and was we'll
able to pay ESQ; and that he did this win
intent TO defraud Mason Of his horse, and
that Mason was by these false representa-
TORS induced to part with his horse and take
from the respondent in payment promissory
note on four months. The government il
trodlced testimony tending to support is
claim. The note was put into the bank and
vent to prot st and was paid by Mason.
The defence is that no represents

cial ability at the time of the trade, but that
the respondent had previously bought a pair
of horses Of james keegan aud that keegan
negotiated thi. trade and no questions were
asked a. to his alb lily to pay that the note
vas running to Keegan and not to Mason,
and therefore there vas fatal variance in

What is this nervous trouble" with which
90 many seem now to be afflicted II you
will remember q few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, vet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-fathers
in times past. So it is with nervous diseases
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfsthers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from 9
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding ii cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel IL

THE LEGESp OF THE BEAUriFrL HAND.
There was dispute among three ladies
as to which had the most beautiful hand.
One sat by stream and dipped her hand it,
to the water and held it up, another plueked
straw berries until the ends of her fingers
were pink, and another gathered violets until
her hands were fragrant. An old, haggsrd
woman. passing by asked
"'who will give me gift. for am
poor?'
"All three denied her; but another xho
sat near, unwasheo in the stream. unstaib ed
with fruit. uusdornef with flowers. gave her
little gift and satisfied the poor woman.
And then she asked them what was the dis
pute; and they told her, and lifted up before
her their beautiful hands.
Beautiful. indeed .aid she, when she
saw them But when they asked her which
WAS the most beautiful, she said:
alt is not the hand that 10 washed clean
in the brook. it is not the hand that is dipped
in red, it is not the hand that is garanded
with fragrant flowers, but the hand that gives
to the poor is the most beautiful
As she said these words, her wrinkles
fed. her staff wss thrown away, and she
stood before them an angel from heaven,
with authority to decide the question in dis
pute. And that decision has stood the test
of all time"
