ScrOfula I'm Children.

The following is taken from letter
written under date of July l, 1889, by
Mrs. Ruth Berkley, a most charitable
and Christian lady of Salina, Kansas:
''In the eally par of 1887 scrofula APP
peared on the head of my little grand
child, then only Is months old. Shortly
after breaking out it spread rapidly all
over her body. The scabs on the sores
would peal off en- the slightest touch,
and the cdor that would arise would
make the atmosphere of the room sick
ening and unbearable. The disease next
attacked the eyes and we feared she
would lose her sight Eminent physi-
clans from the surrounding country were
consulted, but could do nothing to relieve
the little innocent, and gave it as their
opinion, that the case was hopeless and
impossible to save the cnilds eyesight.
It was then we decided to try Swift's Spe-
ciic Is. S. S. That medicine at once
made speedy and complete cure. For
more than year past she has been as
healthy as any child in the land.

A Pastime for Winter Evenings.

The ''Flour Merchant is the name of one
of the many conversational games that are
SO convenient forwhiling away an evening
by the fireside, because they are not noisy
and require no special appliances.
One who personates the -four merchant will
try in every way to dispose of his stock by
asking questions of the others, who must in
their answers be careful not to use the words
''four," a." ''yes" or mo" For instance,
the merchant says:
'Any -four to-dayg"
"There is none required"
'Let me persuade you to take some."
"That is impossible"
"Why 500 1t is excellent -four"
"You have my answer"
"Have II Will you please repeat ita"
my answer was Not any,"
"But the price is reasonable"
81 will not take any"
The -four merchant, having succeeded in
making her say 81" proceeds on his way.

No. 72S.-Enigma: A Little Fairy
Within my walls of silver
A little fairy lives,
Whose presence in a household
Great joy and comfort gives.

And ugly weeds that spoil,
But to sew tears in garments
She willingly will toll
Now, name this useful fairy,
Her shining palace, too,
Her clever, nimble sisters,
Who all her bidding do.

A Chinese vase, a pocket case.
