 Amelia has pimples, and sores in the head, From humors internal her nose has grown red; She's boil on her neck that IS big as A bell, But in other respects she is doing quite we'll. And pa has dyspepsia, malaria and gout, His hands with salt-rheum are all broken out; He is prone to rheumatics that make his legs swell, But in other respects he is doing quite well. And ma has night-sweats and trouble some cough, That all of our doctors can't seem to drive of: She wakes every night and coughs quite a spell, But in other respects she is doing quite well.
 There is nothing like philosophy to help one bear the ills of life, but in the case of this family what is most needed IS good supply of Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It would cleanse Amelia's bad blood, cure pas ailments. and check mas cough. The Golden Medical Discovery" by its action on the liver, cleanses the system of impurities. It cures humors, ulcers, boils, scrofuIa, salt-rheum, eryslpelas, and all kinds of sores and swellings. The only Ruaran- teed blood purifier.

But when we all rose after service and filed out solemn ly, I strolled down Fifth avenue and into an establishment where there we're some gowns all ready to be worn by a fair devotee, who had suddenly trans ferred her allegiance from society to church. One was an exquisitely pale gray, and over it ran a large towering design in Q shade a trifle darker. At the bottom of the skirt were three small hounces of gray silk. The waist was made plain and round, with . deep belt of white silk put on full. At the neck wore, three little ruffies, and two more at the cuff.

The Malds of Modern Greece.

The costume worn by the Greek women is seldom bought ready made. It is usually either made by the wear CTS themselves or has come to them by inheritance. A handsome costume is m expensive purchase. The chemise, long enough to form skirt, is very richly embroidered about the bottom in silk, and the two jackets of white cloth are elaborate. These are sleeveless, but fine pair of embroidered sleeves makes a separate part of the dress Silver ornaments for the head, neck and arms, a red apron. a sash, and . silk gauge veil complete the costume. The last-named items are luxuries, how ever, and vary according to the meanA Rich maidens braid long strings of coins into their tresses, and at a country dance, where the costume Is seen in its full splendor, the eyes of the suitor are as much attracted by the back view as by the face of the fair creatures For everyday use nearly all women of every age wear a handkerchief over the head, and they are for the most part manufactured in Greece.

PAT AND BRIDGET.

How an Irish Priest Did the Counting as
 Well as the Marrying.
 "I have been thinking, Pat, that you ought to get married"
 ''Is it married your riverence says? to while am looking after the sheep all my time?''
 eff that's all the difficulty in your way, think can find wife for you. There's Biddy Flanagan, in service with Mrs. Dash, as nice and modest a girl as ever you laid eyes on; slip away down and see her and tell her sent you"
 "Wouldn't next wool season be time enough, your riverence?"
 "Wool season, indeedl Do you know what you are talking about, Pat? Is it a girl like Biddy Flanagan that you will leave till next wool season! Why, man alivel she is just as like to be snapped up from under your very nose while you're lettering down the street to see her."
 ''Maybe your riverence knows best," is the rejoinder, and away goes my brave Pat to make the acquaintance of Miss Biddy.
 When he gets to Mrs. Dash's door his perplexities begin, and the hesitating knock with which he announces his ar- rival indicates pretty fairly the condi- tion of his mind.
 The door is opened to him by 8 girl whose looks and bearing fully justify the clerical encomium passed upon her. The bashful wooer gives an approving glance, but his words don't keep pace with his admiration, and it is some lit tie time before he gets out what he has to say. Biddy does not hurry him, but waits his pleasure patiently. Most likely she has heard before of visits of the kind paid to other girls, and she Is all Htten- tion. At last Pat finds his speech and uses it in this wise:
 Are you Biddy Flanagan7"
 "Yes," Is the reply.
 "Then," says the enamored swain, going bravely to the heart of the mat ter at once, 1T am Pat Mulligan from sent me down to marry you"
 "Get away with youl Aren't you ashamed of yourself. that take from the look of you to be an honest boy, coming here to make fool of poor B1rL CLl5G ndS PAeuIy CO uO "IInOub GnAnK" ing of marrying?"
 That is what Biddy says to him; but she does not shut the door in his face, nor does he go away, and, after long chat, somehow or other they arrive at an understanding. The result is that Biddy, with considerably heightened color in her comedy checks, seeks an interview with her mistress, whom she informs, with much hesitation and cir cumlocution, that there's been boy speaking to her." The mistress, how ever, not being Irish born, is somewhat puzzled by the expression, and Biddy has to explain more fully her meaning, to the effect that she wants to be a1- lowed to go and see the priest with the said boy. Her mistress objections to the shortness of the notice are soon overcome by Biddy's tears and good looks, and off the bride-elect trips light ly, and soon afterwards returns to fetch away her things, for she is now Mrs. Pat Mulligan.-Irish Times.

A PARLIAMENTARY committee is to be appointed to take into consideration the subject of the London fogs, for the pur- pose of seeing if this evil cannot be in some way abated. A calculation has been made that by the use, under pre- sent conditions, of bituminous coal, there is thrown out into the air on Lon don each day the equivalent of 4sO tons of sulphur, the breathing in of which must be detrimental to the human lungs, and which, with the soot, is said to greatly intensity the density and ob- scurlty of the fogs. Of course fogs are frequently experienced all over England and in the waters in the vicinity of the United Kingdom, but the London fog. which has brown color, and at times a density so great as to obscure at A dis tancs of few feet the light of a gas lamp, is vapor quite distinct from the fogs encountered in the country dis tricts of England, which are like those we have now and then in this country. This difference in density and color, to say nothing of unhealthfulness, is be- lieved to be due to the enormous vol tune of bituminous coal smoke vomited from the chimneys of the hundreds of thousands of factories and dwellings in the English metropolis. If this smoke question could be settled, 1t is thought that it's settlement would carry with 1t the solution of the fog problem.

 he man who does not make an effort to traverse such a road shows that he has no purpose to get in anywhere in trade, and trusts to chances to get in somewhere no matter what are the after-results. A traveller with a proper purpose before him takes that mode of conveyance that will carry him most safely and most surely to his destina- tion. The same with a business man who desires to be successful and aims at being popular; he will adopt the same means to enable him to do all of this, and that is advertising.

IN a recent interview Baron de Hirsch spoke of the new Jewish colonies in the Argentine Republic. He said he had sent 6,000 Jews there and had negoti- ated for the purchase of 7,OOO,OOO acres of land, but the government would grant only 5000, ,0OO as it did not wish too many aliens to settle in a body.
 There are now three Jewish colonies in the province of Buenos Ayres, one with sO,OOO acres, one with 10000 and one 10000. The Jewish Colonization society expects to send from 15,OOO to 20, 900 people there this year. He says that when the new corners reached Argen- tina 1t could easily be seen that they they knew nothing of agriculture, "but by the gift of assimilation, which is the peculiarity of our race, they quickly be- came accustomed to their new pro- fession and to-day they are as hard working and capable farmers as emil grants belonging to any other religion. .'

And now where are the colors? Gone, any way.

But looked again, through my fingers this time, at the Puritans. For that was what they were, everyone of them.

An Old Quotation.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL.
LOUISVILLE. Ky. kEw YoRx. ~

The quotation, "who shall decide
when doctors disagree, and soundest
casuists doubt like you and me3" was
written by Alexander Pope, "Moral
Essays" Epistle 3, line 1. The orig
inal did not apply to doctors of medi-
cine, but to doctors of philosophy.
There is one fact all doctors agree
upon and that is that indigestion is at
the bottom of half the ills that afflict
the human race. When the stomach
is all right the system is all right but
when the stomach is all wrong the en-
tire system is a wreck. There is no
escape from this fact. If when you
are tormented with dyspepsia you will
get box of the laxative gum drops
and take them regularly you will soon
be relieved of all trouble. These drops
have no taste of medicine and they
can be given to children as so much
confectionery but they act gently as
cathartic without pain or gripping
and they will help the most obstinate
case. Get them of any dealer. Small
boxes 10 cents; large ones 50 cents.
