WHOLESALE SWINDtINc.

Mr.. A. Frank Richardson, of New
York, in his recent address in St. Paul,
Mimi, before the National Editorial
Association, called attention to the
fact that druggists all over the country
are continually defrauding their GUS
TONERS by offering them limitations or
substitutes for various Patent Medi-
cines, thus also swindling the Proprie-
tors of such medicines who have creat>
ed the demand by extensive advertising
This practice of substitution by the
druggists has grown to such an extent
that Mr.. Richardson invokes the aid of
the newspapers in its exposure and de-
feat. But no one should allow them
selves to be thus swindled, especially
in the purchase of Simmons Liver
Regulator, the great remedy for Indges-
ton and all Liver troubles. The genuine
article is stamped with large red q on
the face of the package. Take no 9TH
err. Any substitute for this is fraud
upon the purchaser who invariably
pays the penalty in not securing the
relief to be had from taking the genuine
article.

How TO MAKE MoNEY.-A man who is
wise, careful, and conservative, energetic,
preservering and tireless, need have no fear
of his future, writes Henry Clews, the New
York banker, in the October "Ladies'
Home Journal" But there Is one other
thing. He must have steady head, one
that can weather the rough sea of reverses
from which no life is altogether free, and
one that will not become too big when sue
cess attends his efforts. Keep out of the
way of speculators. Take your money,
whether it be much or little, to one whose
reputation will insure you good counsel
Invest your money where the principle is
safe and you will get along. But don't
forget the acorns. 1t is from little acorns
that great oaks grow. See that you begin
Alright early in life. Save your money with
regularity. By so doing, you will more
than save your money; you will make
money.

"But the climate" he said aloud. "Its

Miss Larby only smiled triumphantly.-

in sharing your dangers. You have
snatched her from the grave, as it were.-
She win risk all for you."
''You have made up your mind to marry
me, then?" he inquired in a strained, faint
tone.
"Ob, Cuthbertp' whispered Miss Louisa,
while the elder Miss Larby coughed and
placed the handkerchief to her eyes, shave
| not loved you for years?"
That night he took desperate resolve
To Mrs. Chipp's despair his dinner was left
untasted, and after ordering bottle of
brandy to be taken to his study, he retired
to that apartment and locked the door,
So far as could be seen through the key
hole the rector of Muddleham-Magna SIM
ply sat and gazed before him for hours, in
q helpless. hopeless manner, which at once
convinces his household that he had gone
mad. The fact that be did not eat was
sufficient proof to Mrs Chipp that some
serious disturbance was at work. The
bottle Of brandy was in itself suspicious
And, while the servants speculated on his
sanity, and his letters remained unopened,
and his lamp burned low, the rector, with
drawn, white face and sunken eyes, sat in
the bitterest throes of mental anguish. As
the night wore on his face became more set,
bis perturbation greater. Sometimes he
walked wildly up and down the room,
sometimes he flung himself down and
writhed in agony upon the floor. When
morning dawned the distressed Mrs. Chipp,
who was anxiously lowering around the
study door, was suddenly confronted by q
terrible apparition. The rector, unshaven,
dishevelled, and haggard, strobe forth,
with the fierce light OF determination in his
eyes, and ordered her to pack his port
manteau Immediately and send for Mr..
Twiddy.
"I'm going to London" he said. 'I'm
called away on urgent business. l may
not be back-for some time" An hour
afterwards he had left the parish. In Lon
don he remained for the next month
Meantime the Bamboozle mitre was fitted
to another head, and Miss Louisa Larby
had reappeared in Muddleham-Magna
society, which was in an agreeable little
f1utter of excitement over dark rumors of
their rector's romance, when suddenly q
bomb exploded in it's midst. Mr.. Twiddy,
with tears in his eyes, announced the Rev.
Cushbert Dangerfield's secession to the
Roman Church! And the Chichester
Chronicle, in confirming this terrible news,
added the following significant item of in
telligence.
"We are authorized to state that the
reverend gentleman will be very shortly re-
ceived into the Roman priesthood"
Thus it was that he escaped the fate of
Popple.

PRESERVING THe CoMPLExIoN.-A great
deal can be done to wards having q fine and
smooth complexion, by systematic treat
ment of rubbing, says "The Ladies' Home
Journal" A fine towel or bit of red fan
mel are best for rubbing, twice day, or
four times, if rapid results are to accrue
By degrees-as the skin gains tone and
elasticity from having thrown off the waste
matter in its ducts that kept it clogged,
sickly and fabby-the friction can increase
in energy. The skin becomes, not tougher,
but more resistant. If the rubbing is too
hard at first, however, it is liable to pro-
duce redness and p!mples. Even slight
friction will do this at times on an unac-
customed skin. But the treatment should
be psrservered IN nevertheless, aud the
skin soon becomes extraordinarily fine and
smooth.

On motion the Adjntant was instructed

In compliance Herewith. the follow
ing was submitted:
WHEREAS, Our heroic and illustrious
leader in many fierce fight for the in
tegrity of our glorious Union. our COM
rade in the Grand Army of the Republic,
William Tecumseh Sherman. has made
another Grand March to the Sea-to the
charities sea Of eternity-whOse awful
waves are always yawning TO swallow up
the stanchest as we'll as the frailest bark
that was ever launched from the shores
of time; and
WHEREAS. In his former triumphal
march he was always the gallant con-
IuerOr. he now has met his first defeat
has faced that foe against whom there is
no art of war. no strategy, no terms
Int unconditional surrender. And as he
now lies helpless prisoner in the silent
halls of death. and we shall be deprived
of his noble leadership and his wise
counsels until the archangel sounds the
joyful reveille of the universe on ressur-
rection morn, therefore be it,
Re0fred. That in his death we deplOre

of patriotism that ever lighted this broad
land. the prOstratiOn of one of the
grandest living monuments ever built up
under the genius of American liberty.
Resoired. That the shining example of
that devotion to country, which was his
ruling passion in life. should be to every
American citizen. to every adopted son
Of the nation. to every member of the
Grand Army of the Republic. and more
especially to every Son of Veteran. an
