A New Departure.

AS a family medicine for general use I
consider Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy ahead
of anything I have ever seen we'tryfit
for everything, on man and beast, and
like a good friend, it is always ready to
help us. / was a frequent sufferer from
severe attacks of collie; at such times I
would take a big d a w~ineglass and a
half full, which always gave me immediate
relief, and it's continued use has entirely
cured me of the trouble. Being a farmer,
/ frequently have accidents among my
stock: On one occasion I poured some
of the Wash on a hog which had been
badly bitten and torn by dogs, and the
places were alive with vermin as soon as
the Wash touched the affected parts the
vermin would leave and there was nj
further trouble. I have saved two valn7
able head of stock by an application of
the Wash, and, unlike other things usually
used, it is perfectly painless: l think all
farmers who own stock should try this
great remedy. In such cases, tits worth it's
weight in gold. If all knew the worth
of your Remedy and Wash, l do not think
you could supply the demand. ,

That merchant who puts his neck n
the halter by buying his goods on credit
and of high price concerns, cannot expect
to sell goods in competition with d. Z.
Swindelrs Big Racket Store: No credit

business concern. When the a%uctioneer's
hammer comes down; on a big lot of de-
sirable clothing or dry goods and skaters

the pile, and you hear the clear voice OF
the auctioneer when he calls out: ID. Il.

A ShOemaker's Queer Customer.

A Brooklyn shoemaker was recently
telling me queer story about a queer
customer of his 1t was to the effect
that couple of months ago an elderly
gentleman came to him and asked wheth-
er he could have a boot made like those
worn by persons who have one leg shorter
than the other. The shoemaker replied that
he certainly could, but that the person for
whom it was intended would have to at
tend personally, as the making of such a
boot was somewhat difficult matter.
'Wen, " replied the customer, with an
uneasy laugh, sit is for myself"
''For you2" said the son of st. Crispin
with surprise, CHANGING at the customers
straight legs and equally perfect feet.
eyes, for me, was the answer. ''The
fact is, this with a burst of confidence,
81 ah-I-am about to take part in some
private theatricals and want the boot for
that purpose"
Well, the foot was measured and the
boot made in due course, paid for and
sent home. Two days later the shoe
maker saw in the papers an account CT
the capture of a defaulting confidential
clerk. The article said that among the
elaborate DISCUSSES found in the posses
sion of the criminal was one which was
that of a seedy mendicant The make
up included a battered hat, a shabby
black coat, and boot commonly worn
by persons with shrunken limbs" The
description of the defaulter tailed ex-
actly with the ex-customer of my friend,
the Brooklyn Citizen.

know many children even who can say
that and they know and feel the meaning Of
each word Every child that goes to Sum
day school knows that Jesus died on the
cross to save sinners; but oh how many
there are who have never really thought
very much of what He suffered for US on the
cross. They have often heard those words
read, "He was wounded for our transgres-
sionsn but they have never taken it to them
selves AMI said. He was wounded for my
-t-a1.s=ressions.' Jesus died for me" 1t is
my most earnest prayer that every child

it was that Jesus had to suffer on the cross
for US that we might be saved.

Curiosities of Appetite.

Sir J. Gorst said in the English Par
lament the other day, to illustrate the
ancient truth that some mans meat is an-
othe mans poison" that he was once Sc
verely cross-examined by party of New
Zealand chiefs who had strong views on
the depraved English habit of eating
what they called decayed cheese. He
might have further calculated the pro
verb with a long list Of eatables in which
we delight, but which certain savages
cannot even mention without feeling of
repulsion. A while ago DR.. Finsch saw
hens scratching around in New Guinea
villages, and learned that the domestic
fowl is good for nothing except feathers.
The natives could hardly conceive that
human beings would eat such a creature,
and the bare idea of lmching on eggs
was enough to make a respectable Pap
uan i'll. Chicken feathers, however,
particularly of white, heighted the
charms of the fair sex when lastly dis
posed in their abundant frizzes, and so,
after all, these gentle birds were not
made wholly in vain.

With a simple trusting spirit,
Weak and worn she turned to God,
Asking Christ to take her burden
