E. o. Avery has men and teams at
work placing gravel on the Long Lake
road. That road, which has been the
means of furnishing the citizens with
the best carriage drive in the county,
has been constructed almost entirely
by Mr.. Avery, and for which he de-
serves the thanks of the community
For one citizen to keep some six miles
of road in repair is no light task. 1t
certainly is of great benefit to the
people of the city and the farmers adj
jacent to the road. The cost to Mr..
Avery has ranged from $50 to $500
per year. The worst part of the road
is inside the city limits, and we are OF
the opinion that this city ought to
gravel the road from Dock street to
the city limits.
The Detroit international fair. and
exposition officials have sent US a
complimentary to the exposition,
which will be held on the 18th OF
September and continues to the 9th.
The complimentary is somewhat in
the shape of heart, with a piece of
silk cord attached. Among other things
on the card are the words; "Must
be worn conspicuously." We suppose
the officials of the exposition intend
the editors who visit the exposition
must wear the tickets hung about
their necks and thus go round ticket
ed like so many sheep. The ticket is
worth to an editor from 80 cents to a
dollar, and in return he is expected
to donate several dollars worth of add
vertising, and then for the paying of
many times the value of the ticket,
he must label himself in conspicu-
GUS manner. The person who got up
the conspicuous to be worn ticket
must have unusual amount of cheek.

The Abuses Of Giving.

The world does not move forward by
great reforms in any one department
but by a gradual movement along the
whole line. 1t would be difficult tc
name which improvement is the most
important. But certainly among the
foremost reforms is to impress upon
people who have the will and power to
give, that, except when they help those
who help themselves, their aid pro.
duces more evil than good. The pit
lance given to the pauper sows the
seed of more injury to the poor than
any thousand-dollar donation even for
worthy purposes is likely to cure.
Better not give at all than to give to
unworthy persons. or unworthy objects.
A celebrated writer on political econ
omy and the system of ethics, and a
protested disciple of Herbert Spencer,
admitted to his friends the other day
that he had given a quarter of dollar
to a beggar in the streets, of whom he
knew nothing. only to crafty his own
feelings. This teacher of others prob.
ably did more injury through that one
error than all the good that his latest
book will accomplish. One great oo-
struction in the upper path of humanity
is indiscriminate charity, which sets d
premium upon sloth and vice. Andrew
Carnegie, in Louisville Courier-Jo our

THE EARTH'S DURATION.

Instructive Speculations on 4 Theme OF
Never-Ceasing Interest.
The present age of the earth has
been placed by Sir William Thomson
at 100, 900, 900 years, while the specula
tions of others have given much larger
figures. M. Adolphe d. Assier, who
believes such estimates to be greatly
exaggerated, considers the life of the
earth in three periods, which he terms,
the igneous or nebulo-stellar stadium,
the stadium Of solar illumination or OF
organic life, and the stadium of dark
ness. cold and death. The first
which began with the detachment Of
the terrestrial nebula from the solar,
and ended in the formation of the
crystalline crust of the globe-he cal
culates from physical laws to have
been 100000 years in duration. The
second-comprising the present epoch,
and to close with extinction of the sun,
embracing the entire cycle of geological
formations-is found by geological an6
physical evidence as likely to have 6
total length of 25,OO0,O0O years, OF
which more that half has passed. The
third notwithstanding from the enc
of collar illumination, and closing in

precise rate of acceleration of the mo-
ton of the earth around the center oil
attraction is known, but will probably
be, at the lowest estimate, 100000, OO(
years Or more. Upon the whole, the
present age Of the earth appears to be
about 100000 years. This is but
small part of it's existence, and every
thing leads to the belief that it's total

Safe and Sound,

The word 'ssafe'' is from the Latin "saIu
are" to save, preserve. Safe indicates
freedom from harm or danger; sound, u IL
scathed, unchanged, secure, whole, as, safe
from disease.
It is likewise regarded as conferrine
safety, to be relied upon. Its SYNONYMS
are secure, unendangered, sure. IS lu.
tary'' is from the same root, meaning
health, safety. The term is defined bv
photographers as wholesome, healthful.
promoting health; contributing to some
beneficial purpose; salubrious, useful, adj
vantageous, profitable, favorableness to the
preservation Of health and prosperity.
How fitting the word, as applied to War
ner's Safe Remedies, which meat every re-
quirement Of both materia medica and
etymology.
Their use protects from disease, and is a
safeguard to the entire race.
Warmers Safe Cure has been extensively
used In this and every other civilized
country, and is recognized as the most
beneficial remedy known to man. It has
long been recognized (though not publicity
by the medical profession as the most va.u-
able compound for the general restora-
tlon Oh the human system, by putting the
kidneys in healthy condition, as when
these great organs are restored to a healthy
action then the poisonous waste matter is
expelled by the only blood-purifying organs
OF the system.
Few are aware that the kidneys are the
only organs that can purify the blood,
Fancy the danger of poisoned blood con.
annually coursing through the body-65 gal
Ions OF blood per hour, or 4S barrels per
day, pass through the kidneys, yet the un-
suspect1ng regard them as of little i'm
portance until they are stricken down. Poi
soned blood engenders general debility,
pneumonia, lung and bronchial troubles,
paralysis, apoplexy, heart complications,
rapidly falling eyesight, scrofulous and
cancerous sores, and other serious mala-
dies, which might be averted if the kidneys
properly performed their work and ex-
PEELED the poisonous, waste matter.
When the medical profession will strika
at the root instead of hewing the branches,
then we can hope for happy relief from
many OF the Ills Of the present day. When
diseases are called by their right names, and
the real causes Of death are made known
instead OF death from symptoms Of kidney
disease, it is then that the people will be-
come more fully aware Of the terrible
fatality OF diseases caused by imperfect
action Of the kidneys.
we nave often used our columns for the
benefit OF our readers to proclaim the merits
OF the great remedy heretofore mentioned,
which Is daily becoming more popular, and
we can but repeat the words SO often used
IN their advertisements, which are very,
simple ana very easy, and within the reach
OF al our readers-viz., to ASH your friends
aud neighbours about it.

Cardinal Gibbons has been inter-

Catholic church to the question OF
divorce and remarriage, and he said:

Then, you know, our Lord Himself
says: whatsoever shall put away his

Gospel in obtaining a divorce from

maintains that this does not imply the

testant commentators may assert to the
contrary.
when the Pharisees tempted Christ,
you may remember, the Saviour an
swered: And I say to you that who
soever shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery; and he
that shall marry her that is put away
