Mr.. j. +. TRuITT, Bridgeport, MI:
DEAR SIR; 1t affords me very great pleasure
to write the following: Miss Kate Ramsey,
a young lady who makes her home with us,
has been troubled for q long time with very
severe pains in the stomach after eating,
whether she ate little or much and whatever
kind of food she ate. 4 few weeks ago l
bought some of your Vegetable Lozenges,
which she used with some relief Immediately,
and perfect relief very soon, and she has not
had a return of pain since, and now eats with
IMMUNITY whatever she wants. Respectfully
yours, John L.. Westcott, pastor of Clarks.
boro NJ. L. Church.

the same time you may cat anything You
wish. Price soc a box. For sale by f. B

n~ambulances suddenly. Mebbe she'd have
a fit if woke her, though she don't come
of a fifty family. I'll just see what she
does"
A moment later Mrs. Huff slowly left
the loom, and with eyes still closed, shut
the attic door behind her, walked down
stairs, and returned quietly to her bed.
at beats all, said Mr.. Huff, as he
quietly lay down beside her, ssbut she

In the morning she said while dressing:

my old loom last night. I've had sev'raI

"Hev?" queried Mr.. Huff. dryly. "'That
reminds me that I want to show you some
thing in the old loom room. Come right

"No, I've got more time now.''
"There you air. Harriet Huff" said Mr..
Huff, dramatically, as he threw open the
attic door, and waved his hands toward
the bag of rags.
Gideon Huff" she said, as she sank
down on an old h-air-covered trunk. with
her hands appraised.
'Td say Gideon Huff if I was you," he
replied, then he went on solemnly, occa-
s%ionally shaking his finger toward her.
Harriet Diany Huff. I amt got much to
say to You, but what / do say is solemn
aud pertiekler, and I mean it. You've
made your last rag carpet: Your intelleck-
shell reason is glvin' way under the strain
OF it, to say nothin' of our buds bein' cut
up fore they're half wore out, and you in
a stiddy pickle and stew over your c~olorin'
and twisted stripes, You drug them raps
up here in your sleep, and las night /
ketehed you up here goin' through weavin'
motions in your sleep. Your mental brain
powers is becoming exhausted over CARPET
rags. and you've got to give 'em up for
good and ali, premiums or nc premiums"
SO Mrs. HUFF, greatly shocked when told
OF her performances, did give up all rag
carpet making, although the beautiful
twisted stripe Of her visions and dreams
became a reality as soon as the rags could
be carried to the Widow Watts.
Dream-proyoking food at midnight was
also wisely given up in obedience to Nj.

The saloon Keeper was Liable.

On September 16 last William Watkins,
chief of police OF Parsons Borough, while
sitting in a drunken sleep on the edge of
the platform of the railway station there
early in the morning, was struck by a train
and instantly killed. He had been ON du-
ty all night and had been drinking heavily.
His wife S~usannah, brought suit for s1o,-
900 against John Schumacher, a saloon
keeper, for his death. She claimed that
Schumacher had sold him liquor while he
was intoxicated, thus making him helpless
ly drunk and causing his death.
The case was referred to arbitrators and
to-day they fled their verdict, finding, as q
matter of fact. that Schumacher did sell
Watkins liquor while he was intoxicated,
and, as a matter of law, that he was liable
for any injury that might arise as the re-
suit of drinking this liquor. They there
fore give Mrs. Watkins damages to the
amount of S2500. The case will probably
be appealed W5lkes6arre (Pa.) Dispatch,

USEFUL HINTS.

A little borax in the hot starch will give
a gloss to the linen when it is lroned.
To r~enovate velvet and make it look like
new, dampen the back and then pass it
over a warm, not too hot, fat-iron.
After you have swept the dust out of
the carpets, scatter corn meal and salt,
equal parts Of each over them, and when this
is swept of. the colors will be found to be
much fresller and brighter.
Hot alum water poured into cracks of
floors and walls will surely destroy all in
seets that may infest them.
Chamois skins are too dear to throw
away after becoming soiled; so save them
by washing in tepid suds, and rinse in cold
water. Rub them between the hands to
make them pliable.
Kerosene or y~aseline we'll rubbed into
leather Or kid boots or shoes that nave been
hardened by water will render them as pill
able as new.
To keep kid boots soft and piiable, rub
them with sweet oil or vaseline, once in
two weeks. They will pay for the trouble
many times IN longer wear.
Vaseline is a superior shoe dressing, as
it renders the leather pliable, and doesn't
soil the fabric in contact.
In kidding a fire in a CRATE or range in
frequently used, after laying in the shaw
ings or paper and bits Of wood on it, apply
the match at the top of the shavings in
stead Of the bottom, and let the fame burn
its way down. This will prevent excessive
smoking of the fire while it is getting start

Some one writes both gracefully and
forcibly: Il would be glad to see more
parents understand that when they spend
money judiciously to improve and adorn
the house, and the ground around it, they
are in effect paying their children a pre-
MUM to stay at home and enjoy it; but
when they spend money unnecessarily in
clothing and jewelry for their chill
dren, they are paying them a premium to
spend their time away from home-that
is, in those places where they can attract
the most attention and make the most dis

THE FIELD.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down;
The night mist shroudeth the sleeping town
But if it be dark or if it be day,
If the tempest beat or breezes play,
stlll here on this upland slope lie
Looking up at the changeful sky.
Naught am l but a fallow field;
Never a crop my acres yield;
Over the wall of my right hand
Stately and green the corn blades stand.
And | hear at my left the flying feet
0fthc winds that rustic the bending wheat.
Often while yet the morn is red
L list for our masters eager tread,
He smiles at the young corn's towering
heighth,
He knows the wheat is a goodly sight,
But he glances not at the faIlow field
Whose idle acres no wealth may yield.
Sometimes the shout of the harvesters
The sleeping pulse OF my being stirs,
And as one in q dream / seem to feel
The sweep and the rush of the swinging steel
Or catch the sound of the gay refrain
A. they heap their wains with the colder
grain.
Yet, oh, my neighbors, be not too proud,
Though on every tongue your praise is 1oud,

And | am beloved by bird and bee,
And never a child that passes by
But turns upon me with grateful eye.
over my head the skies are blue
l have my share of the rain and dew:
l basklike you in the summer sun,
When the long bright days pass one by one,
And calm as yours is my sweet repose
Wrapped in the warmth Of The winter SHOWS.
For little onr loving mother cares
Which the corn or the daisy bears,
Which is rich with the ripening wheat,
Which with the violet'- breath is sweet.
Which is red with the clover bloom,
Or which for the sweet fern makes room.
Useless under the sunset sky
Year after year men say / lie,
Little they know what strength of mine
1 give to the thrilling blackberry vine;
Little they know how the wild-grape grows.
Or how my life-blood Pushes the rose.
Little they think of the cups l ill
For the moses creeping under the hill:
Little they think of the feasts l spread.
For the wild wee creatures must be fed;
squirrels and butterfly, bird and bee,
And the creeping thing that no eye may see.
Lord OF the harvest, Thou dost know
How the and winters go.
Never a ship sails east or west
Laden with treasures at my behest,
Yet my being thrills TO the voice of God
When l give my gold to the golden-rod.

Richard Golden, years ago, said."Every
days experience tends more to confirm me
in my opinion that the temperance U
lies at the foundation of all social Ind po-
litical reform . 1t is no less SO to-day, and
every true citizen should recognize this
truth, and place himself uncompromisingly
upon the side of truth.

To send for the doctor every time you
don't feel just right. Nv doctors bill for
years was over a hundred dollars a year,
which made a pretty big hole in my wages.
For the past two years, | only spent ten
dollars, with which | bought q dozen bot
ties of Sulphur Bitters, and health has been
in my family since using them.-RoBEKT
