Imitation is Impossible.

It has been shown that in many cases
it is easily to successfully initiate.
Scarcely has a new invention beer
announced before host of limitations
spring up on every side.
No higher encomium can be paid the
inventor or discoverer than to encoun-
ter imitation, Notwithstanding such
fattery is not acceptable.
In some cases successful imitation is
rendered impossible, inasmuch as the
imltator is unable to lend a complete
knowledge to the subject or has not the
meaps at hand to aid him.
Perhaps no article has been the object
of attempted imitation more than the
worldwide specific for the prevention
and cure of kidney and liver disorders,
Familiarity known as Warmers Safe
Cure.
| In the preparation of this intensely
popular remedial agent, it is claimed
that it IS impossible to successfully imi-
tate safe cure, even if the correct
formula is known, because the peculiar
devices and highly expensive mechan-
ism used in it's manufacture are beyond
the reach Of the Would-be imitator.
| Adding to this the lack of long ex-
perlence, which has rendered perfect
every step in it's preparation which in
ventive genius can suggest, together
| with the great skill exercised IN the Sc
lection of only the very best materials,
the genuine article is perfection itself.
Some effort is also being made to i'm
itate popular line of fashioned log
cabin ''home cures known as ''War-
mere Log Cabin remedies. comprising
| sarsaparilla for the blood, hops and
buchu for the stomach and system,
cough remedy for colds. rose cream for
catarrh, extract for relief from pain,
hair tonic, porous plasters and pills.
Successful imitation is rendered i'm
possible for the reason that the same
care has been given in their preparation.
An expensive laboratory. costing
thousands Of dollars, has been specially
constructed for their manufacture and
is under the immediate supervision Of
one of the best chemists known.
Poor material and means employed
would be susceptible to easy imitation,
out with the best of material, machinery
and skilled labor employed, these house
hold articles are given to the public be-
yond the reach of all successful counter
feiters.

Never Tainted With Crime.

In his speech before the Parnell COM
mission Wednesday, Sir Charles Russell
recounted the story Of enforced Irish
emigration to America. of the growth
of Fenianism in this country, and Of its
development into a movement to obtain
justice for ireland by means of legal
agitation. He said it was the justiiable
boast of Parnell and Davitt that they
had taught Irish-Americans to combine
and assist them in their efforts within
the law. He traced the history of the
National league in America, and de-
clared that it proved concluslvely that
the organization was in no way what
ever implicated in crime. The National
league, he said, had been founded to
maintain the right of the Irish people
to make, in their own national assembly,
laws relating to Ireland. This was not
a novel claim There was no period in
the history OF Ireland IN which the peo-
pie of the Irish race in that greater Ire,
land beyond the seas were not willing
to accept the natural right Of self-gov-
eminent, and live in amitY with the rest
Of the empire. He declared that Mr..
Parnell had never been associated with
secret society, had never net Patrick
Ford, and had never been implicated,
directly or indirectly, with any con-
spiracy whatsoever. Mr.. Davitt, al
though friend OF FOrd's. had repeat
eddy demonstrated against the adoption
of a policy of violence, and had never
failed to denounce outrages and the i'll
citing of the people to commiG such
crimes.

Enormous Fortunes.

The wording of an advertisement is
al all-important matter.
Clearhess, attractiveness, brevity
and sincerity must characterize any an
nouncement intended to catch the
public eye and appeal to the public con.
fidence. An advertisement inserted
in London journal a few days ago
brought instant and multitudinous re.
plies accompanied by an almost unllm-
tied supply of bank notes, simply be-
cause it touched the chord which makes
all mankind akin. Its simple pathos
and self-evident truthfulness appealed
to every heart.
The advertiser sought for a lost rel

the address). AS already stated, nearly
everyone who read the announcement
FASTENED to relieve the necessities Of
the sufferer-a real sufferer in this
case, though many swindles are perpe-
trated in the divine name Of charity.
Thus it is with really meritorious
com modify OR preparations; if its
virtues be properly and truthfullY set
forth in the public press, it's success
is prompt and certain.
On the other hand, the public is quick
and unerring to detect deception and
charlatanrY; and, accordingly, no
amount Of ''puffery'' will force g. vile
nostrum into public esteem and patron
age. Untold sums have sunk in vain
efforts to advertise into popularity So
called medical preparations which did
not possess the virtues Or properties
claimed for them.
Valuable medicines, however, like

best commentator in their power to
cure the particular diseases for which
they are specific.
They require no labored panegyric to
convince the people of their power and
efficacy, for they have been tried and
found perfect.
Natures remedies, by their own ill.,
trjnsic merits have conferred lasting
boon upon mankind, and they have Sc
cured an enyiab!e reputation and un-

Good Friday in Jerusalem.

A. contributor to the Sacred Heart
Almanac writes:
Darkness had fallen upon the an
Gent city OF David, when q few Of us
left a house upon Mount Area and en-
tered the gloomy silent street. Wend-
ing our way by the light OF small
lantern, we trayersed the Christian
quarters Of the city.
Having reached the small paved
court before the main entrance of the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, we soon
found ourselves in an Immense throng
of pilgrims from all parts Of the world.
1.-THE Latin altar ON Calvary was lllu-
minated, and soon Il priest appeared
and began preaching, After a short
discourse, another took his place, and SO
on until seven sermons had been given
in asa many different languages. A
large cross had been erected by the
altar, upon which hung life-size and
artlculated figure of our Lord. When
the sermons were ended, {. ladder was
brought and monk ascended it, and
by means of r pair OF pinchers he slow
" extracted the nail which held
the right hand Of the figure.
GENTLY lowering the arm, he
held the nail a moment exposed to the
view of all; then kissing 1t he deposited
it in the hand Of an assistant, and pro-
ceeded to extract the others, which he
also kissed and held up in turn.
"The figure being thus removed from
the Cross was deposited upon bier. A
procession was formed and amid a
solemn chant it moved toward the Stone
Of JUNCTION. Here perfumes and a
winding sheet were in readiness, and
after having enveloped it, the process
sion continued on till it arrived at the
entrance Of the Holy Sepulchre. Here
the figure was reverently lifted up and
carried into the Sacred Tomb, after
which the immense crowd, having knelt

@Sepulchre dispersed. 5Es5s 81 }

Pleasant People,

~ nOnlCUlEtCE Dul Hl4OCu w 4AO
how many pleasant people there are So
journing upon this planet, and hoy,
ready they are to say and to DO pleasant
things, and fill the world with "aW Get
ness and light" for others.
Sometimes when we least expect it..
when it has seemed to us as it almost
everybody was made up On the bias, So
to speak, we suddenly happened upon
one of these pleasant people, and the
cobwebs are axe all swept out OF our
heaven, and the whole complexion Of
things is changed. They make a dull
day cheerful; they have something Of
the same effect in a room as all open fire
! or bouquet of flowers; or they are like
| the thrill Of book hidden in still
wood, or the the unexpected whistle of
bird in early spring. l'hey make lis
feel for the nonce as if everybody was
pleasant because they ara. There is a
charm about them which is reflected
upon their atmosphere, which to analyZe
would De like "mistrusting the sun
beam.
We cannot always explain exactly
why they are so pleasant; they may not
be beautiful; they are often, indeed,
what those who insist upon symmetry
and harmony as the first principles OF
beauty would call plain; they are not
always robust people, who raise our
spirits by the mere fact of their strength
and health; they are sometimes in
| valids, who spend their days upon the
couch, with pain as companion; they
are not always people Of leisure, with
/ nothing to do but make themselves
agreeable, but often the busiest mortals
under the sun; they are not always the
wittiest or the most clever among our
acquaintances; they possess magic
superior to all these, which dwarfs the
wit and cleyerness of all others, and
makes these of small value besides their
own attractlyenes.
J. Perhaps their spell resides in the fact
that they have the kind Of common
sense which may always be said to
amount to genius--a genius for divlning
the feelings and prejudices, of others,
for making themselves acceptable, for
making us pleased with themselves.
An aroma Of good-nature pervades
their neighborhood; they have essen
TALLY that ''sweet, attractive sort of
grace of which the poet sings. When
we meet them we wonder that every
body has not attempted tosElmitate
them, that everybody does not acknowl-
edge their excellence, and beg for the
recipe. 1t seems as easy for them to
be delightful as it is for rose to be
sweet or star to shine. They always
say the right thing; they never remind
US, if we are rich to-day, that we. were
poor Yesterday. They never repeat the
disagreeable things other have said OF
us, nor criticise our friends in our pres
once. nor snub or embarrass us.

The largest maj on record was
Miles Darden, a native Of North
Carolina, who was born in the State
in l79S, and who died in Tennessee
in 1858. He was seven feet and six
inches high. and in 1S45 weighed
97l pounds. In 1859 his coat
buttoned around three men, each of
them weighing over 200 pounds,
who walked together in it across
the psbIic square at Lexington. In
1850 it required thirteen and a half
yards of cloth, one yard wide, to
make a coat. Until 1853 he was
active and lively, and able to labor;
but fron that time was compelled to
stay at home, or be hauled about in q
t~o.horse wagon. Hiscofin was eight
feet long, thirty-five inches deep, thir.
ty.two inches across the breast, eigh.
teen across the head. and fourteen
across the feet. 1t required twenty.

The jute bagging trust in their
efforts to force the cotton planters
to pay ar ezhorbitant price for their
tagging, may yet realize that their
unseemly greed is boomerang which
in its rebound will do them up fatal

committee of the Galveston Cotton
Exchange recommend the adoption
of a declaring cotton covered with
India baggins to be unmerchant'
able. The report of the committee
was adopted and will be in full force
for the crop Of this year. If this
rule should he adopted by the other
cotton exchanges throughout the
South, it would put a very effective
qnietus upon that particular species
Of trust operations. The demand
for cotton to manufacture cotton
bagging aaterial wesld employ all
the low grade cotton At a slightly
increased figure, while The with.
drawal OF such a large amount of
cotton from the usual market would

OF the better grades. With cotton
bagging manufactured at home, the
cotton tie will be the: only remain.
