With my best sweetheart's little hand
Ciasped tight as wax in mine.
And when we cut our fourishes,
And gracefully gyrate,

Come loose upon her skate;
Its just jolly thing to do
To get down on one knee
An tumble round little foot,
And then look up and sec
rounded, rosy, dimPled cheek,
A laughing, roguish eye,
And take my pay in fixing up
That skate, all on the sly.

Alden is situated in the crater OF an
extinct volcano, several miles in circum-
ference, and is reached from the landing
place by a tunnel cut through the rocks.
On the hill-sides are to be found the
ruins of wells and cisterns of immense
size and capacity, from which the city
was formerly supplied with water in the
dry season, sometimes lasting several
years. They were built centuries ago,
and have long teen in disuse. There
are various public squares iD the central
part of the city where the caravans from
the desert, with camels and merchan-
disc, are usually encamped, The streets
are narrow and dirty, lined with dingy
shops and native huts. 1t is an un
healthful and inhospitable place, IN
tensely hot, without pal tice of water,
shade or vegetation. In the brolling
heat, in which the natives seem TO suffer
no Inconvenience, the European resi-
dents are soon overcome, as is shown by
the frequent changes in the British gar
rison. Its population numbers twenty
thousand most of whom are black, in
dolent and stupid, forming semi-bar
barous and wildly fanatical people.

hour on some feasible plan of ven
geance.
The next four weeks were spent by
Perkins in perfecting a strange machine
which, in answer to his wlfe's inquiries,
he persisted in calling peanut shoot
er," as obstinately refusing to explain its
use and destination.
The festive drummer was sleeping
soundly in his room at the hotel; The
transom wac wide open and his mellfiu
GUS snore could be heard all over the
hall, when Perkins and his machine
made their appearance, and in the rear
black porter, putting under the weight
of one of the sacks of peanuts, another
and still another following.
Something was evidently about to
happen, and Perkins tiptoed cautiously
about as be opened one Of the sacks and
began to stuff the machine with pea
nuts 1t operated like a pump, and
while Perkins stuffed in the peanuts one
of the black assistants pumped away for
dear life, throwing a steady stream OF
nuts over the transom.
The drummer was doubtless dreaming
of his sales when the peanuts came
sprinkling over his pillow, and he
brushed them away with his hand with
an impatient "Shoo, there" evidently
intended for a stray mosquito or ma
rauding bedbug.
The porter pumped, Perkins stuffed,
and the drummer finally awoke when
the rain of peanuts became about an
inch deep over his face. He opened his
mouth TO exclaim, and a peanut fell in.
"By the great jumping horned spoons!
What in creation has broke loose p
He scraped off the fast falling shower
of nuts and sat up in bed he could hear
the cresking of the machine outside, the
humming, humping, Of the peanuts, az
they came pouring over the transom,
and it did not take him long to discover
the nature OF the joke which was being
played upon him.
"Here, you. Perkins; let up and well
talk it over y lie called out,
Pump, pump, pump Stuff, stuff,
stuff No reply.
Say, now, Perkins, that's good fel-
low I've got enough. Let up and III
treat !"
The pumping and putting still went on
monotonously, and the peanuts were
getting low in the first sack.
1t was not until they were six inche:
deep in the drummer's room he calleC
out. "Say, Perk, if you'll stop that in
fernal machine out there I'll pay all ex-
; penses and take every blamed peanut OF
your hands,"
The porter's arms were tied and hi
was willing to stop at Perkins reques I
and compromise was Effected through
the key hole
1t took the genial drummer unit
plump daylight to pick up the peanuts
and 80 far as heard from he hasn't play
ed any more practical jokes up to date
Perkins is once more serene.-Merchdn

DR.. 7. Heman Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says "Consump-
ton is always due to deficient nutrition
of the lungs, caused by bad blood" At
the Brompton Hospital for consumptives,
London, England, a statement has been
published that SO per cent. of the pa
tients of that institution have unsus-
pected Kidney disorder. This explains
why the proprietors of Warmers Safe
Cure claim that they have received
many testimonials which they have not
published, because of the incredulity
with which they would be received were
it claimed that Warmers Safe Cure cures
consumption. But the fact is that If
your kidneys be cured and put in a
healthy condition they expel the uric
acid and poisonous waste matter, and
prevent the irritation of the delicate
substances of the lungs, thereby remoY-
ing the cause. When the effect is re-
moved the symptom of kidney disease,
which is called consumption, disappears,
and with it the irritation, which caused

M. p.,.--,,,, tIos,,;,oI g.. :,

The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tives, London, England, published a
statement that SO per cent. of the pa
tients IN that institution had unsupported
kidney disease. Every drop of blood in
the system passes thousands OF times
through the lungs in each "a hours. The
same blood passes through the kidneys
for publication. If the kidneys are not
in healthy condition or able to expel
the poisonous or waste matter the acids
return 10 the delicate tissues Of the lungs
and produce irritation, which results in
the symptoms of what is known as con-
sumption. This explains why 50 per
cent. of the consumptive patients have
unsuspected kidney disorder. Warner
Safe Cure puts the kidneys in healthy
condition taking the acids from the
blood which vitiate the !angs and cause
consumption.

POEM BY J. Il. WHITE, COMPOSED on THE occ
OF THE RosEBUDs' RECEPTIoE,l
They call uslittle Rosebuds
Because we are so sweet
We have little hands to work with,
And willing little feet
And little tongues to talk with.
And so we tell you now,
We're band of willing workers,
And have registered vow.
We are working for our Master.
Wen have festivals and fairs;
We viii make heap of money,
And we'll all be millionaires-
If youll only, only help us;
And wen give it all away
To the Church, ana that's the reason
We have worked so hard today.
We're going to give a supper
In way that's very queer,
And we hope no one will scold us,
Nor laugh or sneer,
For we're going to give you boxes
There is lunch In each for two
One half is for your lady
The other half for you.
And we hope you'll all be satisfied
And happy just the same
When you open up your boxes
And find your lady's name.
You must take her in to supper,
Whoever she may be,
And be awful nice and clever
And attentive, do you see
For you've drawn her for the evening
And she must go with you,
And let you wait upon her
Till the entertainments through.
So please select your boxes,
We're sure you won't regret,
The luncheon's so delicious,
You never can forget,
And every one will wonder
How we Rosebuds could contriye
To furnish such supper
Fer only twenty five.

Our little son will be four years Of age on the
25th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked with a
very painful breaking out Of the skin We called
in a physician, who treated him for about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician to be hives in 40 aggravated form,
became larger in blotches, and more and more
distressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong linimenls. etc. Finally, we called other
physicians, until no less than six had attempted
