CIVIL SERVICE.
The law relating to civil service has,
so far as can learn, been executed by
those having the power of appointment
in the classified service with fidelity and
impartiality and the service has been
increasingly satisfactory. The report
of the Commission shows large amount
of good work done during the year with
very limited appropriations.
| congratulate the Congress and the
country upon the passage at the first
session of the Fifty-first Congress Of
an unusual number of laws of very high
Importance that the results of this leg
islation will be the quickening and en-
largement of our manufacturing indus
tries, larger and better markets for our
breadstuffS and provisions both at home
and abroad, more constant employment
and better wages for our working peo-
pie, and an increased supply of L safe
currency for the transaction of busi-
ness, | do not doubt. Some
OF these measures were enacted at so
late period that the beneficial effects
upon commerce which were in the con-
temptation of Congress, have not as yet
but partially manifested themselves.

A Cat Story.

A New York gentleman has a very
valuable Angora cat, and so fine a
specimen of her kind that she is fa-
NOUS in a large circle of fashionable
folk. She is not rugged in health,
yet she cannot be persuaded to take
physic. 1t has been put in her milk
it has been mixed with her meat, it
has even been rudely and violently
rubbed in her mouth, but never has
she been deluded or forced into swal-
lowing any of it. Last week green
Irish girl appeared among the house
hold servants. She heard about the
failure to treat the cat. "Sure," said
she, "give me the medicine and some
lard and I'll warrant she'll be ating
all l give her" She mixed the pow
der and the grease and smeared it on
the cats sides Pussy at once licked
both sides clean and swallowed all
the physic. Faith" said the ser
want girl, Everybody in IRELAND
does know how to give medicine to {
cat"

The Feeding of Horses.

When it is remembered that the
stomach of horse is really small, in
proportion to the size of his body, it
will be seen that it requires feeding
often-even four times day. Un>
like human beings, horses should
drink before eating, and drink as
much as they like. Owing to strange
internal arrangement in horse, the
water does not remain in the stom-
ach but passes through into the
caecum-a large intestine, Ifa horse
should be fed first one can readily
see that the water in flowing through
would carry with it some of the food,
and thus produce collie. A horse, if
"watered" four times a day, will
never take much-not too much. He
is fed, it must be remembered, upon
dry food, and that, with the quanti-
ty of hard work done, would produce
feverishness which a proper amount
Of water will very much allay.

1t Happened in Chattanooga.

Rev. Charles e. Wright, pastor Of
the Second Baptist church of this
city, states that his 1j-year-old son,
who for the past six years has been
sorely afflicted with epilepsy, having
as many as a dozen commissions a
day has entirely recovered his health,
has gained fifteen pounds in flesh /;
this wonderful cure was made by the
use of Kings Royal Germateur,
when physicians and other remedies
failed. Rev. Mr.. Wright further
states that he gives the above infor-
nation with Christian convictions
and cheerfulness for the benefit OF
suffering humanity. This reliable
family medicine cures rheumatism,
neuralgia, catarrh, dyspepsia; liver
and kidney trouble are dispelled al
once by its use, and for the correction
of female irregularities it stands with
out peer.

Good Advice in a Nutshell.

There are four organs in the human body
which are vital in their functions and deli
cate in their structure, and which give us an
immense amount Of trouble. These are the
Heart, Stomach, Kidneys and Liver. If they
give us trouble it is because we neglect or
abuse them, and of course we must take the
consequences. The diseases of these organs
are very numerous and often dangerous.
Luckily we now have remedy which has
proved Just the thing for this class of dis
eases. 1t is Pe.ru.na, purely vegetable
compound, that strikes right at the root of
the whole trouble. This preparation was
used by Dr. Hartman most successfully in
| his general practice for years before it was
placed before the general public; and it was
its remarkable success in his private prac
tice that led him to place it before the pub
lie for the benefit of mankind everywhere
AS Tonic it is unexcelled, building up the
system weakened by constant toll, either
mental or physical. As a remedy for Luns
Troubles, such as Consumption, it has ac
complished wonders. It's action on the Kid
neys is mild and effective. It's use will keel
the blood pure. Regulate the Bowels,
necessary, with Mana.lin. Price 81 pc

General Debility

One by one the great generals of
the day have passed away, but there
is one general who is ever with us
General Debility is his name. He is
no respecter of persons or Of age or of
sex. He imposes on the young, and
in an unfair fight with old age, comes
off victor. He is constantly battling
against good health, and his delight
is to make mankind miserable. His
weapons are a lame back, an aching
side, weak kidneys, inactive liver,
poor digestion, nOn.assimilation of
food, extreme nervousness, universal
lassitude, short breath, unnatural ia
tigue, etc, However, he is not to be
feared. He is easily disarmed by a
use of DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla.
When this remedy is used to coun-
teract the attacks of General Debility,
he is made to retreat every time.
In fact, General Debility and DIR.
Bulls Sarsaparilla cannot be in the
same system at the same time. Try
it, and you will soon get strong.

The laws of health are taught in
the schools; but not in a way to be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases might easily be done.
Ifsome scholar, who had just con-
tracted a cold, was brought before
the school, so that all could hear the
dry, loud cough and know its signifi-
canoe; see the thin white coating on
the tongue and later, as the cold de-
velOped, see the profuse watery eX.
pectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms
of cold were. The scholar would
then be given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely, that all might see
that even a severe cold could be cur
ed in one or two days, or at least
greatly mitigated, when properly
treated as soon as the first symptoms
appear. This remedy is famous for
it's cures of coughs, colds and ecroup,
1t is made especially for these diseases
and is the most prompt and most re-
liable medicine known for the pur.
