STANDARD diet, most especially the one on the
right of the picture. When he was about SIX
months old he was very sick from having been
given sour milk by a careless nurse-in fact was
so bad the physician was unable to leave the
house for two weeks, during which time the
child was virtually dead from want of nutrition.
as he was unable to keep anything whatever
on his stomach. After trying all the known
none of which were of any use-the physician,
as final hope, had me buy bottle of your
Liquid Food, md from the very first five drops
given he began to rally. and has been in most
excellent health lnce.
Whenever any of them show any signs oil

and utter al exclamation.

a lady-we shall not tell her name
had a most amusing experience with
Benjamin P. Hutchinson the other day.
This lady is deeply interested in chart
table work, and ever and anon she lends
herself to the disagreeable task Of So
Letting money contributions TO such
worthy causes as she may happen 10
have in hand. This is rather ungrateful
employment, but this lady applies her
self cheerfully 10 1t. f-- she recognizes it
as a part OF her Christian duty. It be
fell that this worthy woman had occa-
sion t approach Mr.. Hutchinson the
other afternoon, and she did so in the
spirit of charming good nature, which
is, perhaps, her most conspicuous char
~aCteristiC.
Now Mr., Hutchinson is a airy bird.
and seldom it il that he is caught IN a
corner by anybody. But this particular
lady was so exceptionally bright and
exuberaut that the crafty millionaire
gave up a crisp SEQ bill almost be-
fore he was aware of it. And then, as
We can easily suppose, he began to regret
it, On her part the fair solicitor was
considerably surprised; she had heard
that he was a hard, unfeeling man, yet
had he not responded promptly and
generously to her appeal? She was 50
grateful that she insisted on shaking
hands with the old man, and as she did
so she remarked, feelingly, We do not
always get our reward here, Mr.. Hutch
insOn, but we should remember that the
Lord loveth a cheerful giyer."

Mr.. Hutchinson dryly, "but I'm more

The Right Hon. Charles Pelham vii

his early election compaigns, to tell the
following story In the course of his
first canvass in Northampton Dor
ough, being then a very young man, he
called on a little shopkeeper at Willen-
hall to solicit his vote. The shop
keeper was not at home, but his wife
was, and Mr., Nillicrs, in true courtier-
Hke style, made known to the good
lady the purport of his visit. Having
listened to the candidate, the lady
handed Mr.. Villiers a piece of chalk,
saying:
Chalk thy name on the counter, lad,
and my master shall inquire thy char
acter.
Mr.. Villiers complied and got the
vote, and the shopkeeper proved one
of his staunchest supporters .-London

\ survivor Of the hardships Of Ere
mont's terrible four expeditions writes
Us follows in a pOsthumous narrative Of
the expedition printed in The Century,
III which he more than hints at the
fact Of cannibalism
1t vas curious TO hear different men
tell of the workings of the mind when
they were starving. Some were con
stantly dreaming or imagining that
they saw before them n bountiful feast,
and would make selections of different
dishes. Others engaged their minds
with other thoughts, For my part |
kept my mind amused by entering con
tinually into all the minutie of farm
ing, or Of some other systematic bust
ness which would keep up a train of
thought, or by working n mental solu-
ton of mathematical problems, bring
ing in review the rudiments of some
science, or by laying out plans for the
future, all having a connection with
home and after life.
So in this way never allowing myself
to think upon the hopelessness of our
condition, yet always keeping my eyes
open to every chance, l kept hope alive
and never once suffered myself to de
spond. And to this course | greatly at
tribute my support, for there were
stronger men who, by worrying them
selves, doubtless hastened their death.

attracting considerable attention. The
farmers of the northwest have been pay
ing large prices for binding Irvine, and
it is this fact probably which started
George Lowry 10 investigate the uses
TO which common marsh grass could be
put. He has made several inventions
which are an assured success. The bind
ing Irvine made by his method is strong,
durable, and, above all. cheap. While
the material from which ordinary bind
ing Irvine is made costs from St20 to
$3.50 per ton, slough grass costs from 81
to s. a ton, and the cost Of making the
Irvine from either material is about the
same. A company has been organized
for the manufacture Of this Irvine.
The company will also make cordage
Of all kinds, bagging and mating from
marsh grass. Marsh grass makes good
rope in any size, and formed into small
Irvine it can readily be woven into coarse

put to a variety of uses. The cotton
planters Of the United States annually
raise about 7,O00.O 900 bales Of cotton,
which require about $4,000, 900 yards of
hagging. The jute bagging costs about
eight cents n yard. The grass Irvine bag

yard less.-New York Tribune,

A few days ago Il Jewish physician
Of some intelligence, whose diploma
had been withdrawn from him upon
the ground that h. was too full Of sym
pathy for some poor wretches suspected
Of nihilism, assured me that the Rus
sian Jews who have reached the United
States feel like singing hymns of thanks
giving. Since his arrival in this coun-
try this physician has been visiting the
tenement houses and workshops of the
east side OF New York city in order to
gain some notion of the life of his fel-
low countryInen here. Their condi-
ton may seem miserable to YOU he
said, but it is paradise compared to
the horrors from which they have es-
caped.n
When one realizes hat in the vast
area east of the Bowery populated by
Russian Jews the crowding, the filth,
the noise and the stenches are beyond
description, and that the majority of
these people work from fourteen to
eighteen hours a day, often beginning
their labor at dawn and continuing it
until they fall exhausted upon the piles
of clothing that they make for the
cheap shops, he can see that the fate
of the Russian Jew who has to stay in
Russia must be hard indeed.-P. G.

Il clean my eyeglasses these days
with n ten dollar note" said a well
known citizen the other day, with a
smile, as he began to rub his spectacles
with a bill. 1T cleans the glass and
doesn't hurt the money. a one dollar
bill would answer the purpose as well
as a note for n hundred, but in this case
l happened to nave the ten and used it.
II have been cleaning my glasses for
years with bank notes, and [ ave never
found anything that makes them as
clear. If You use a handkerchief it leaves
the lint behind, and ten 70 one the glass
ia blurred. The money removes all the
dirt and grease, and leaves no trace of
itself. Am l afraid of contracting some
disease Of tho eyes2 Well, I never
thought Of that, and | know that some
physicians claim that diseases are trans
mitted by money, sinceit passes through
so many hands. No, l am not afraid;
and ! will continue to use the bank
notes for this purpose. The texture is
soft, and it certainly removes dirt. In
deed, there is nothing like paper money
for polishing fine glassware. Albany
