John s, Edwards,

OF Adams, n. Y, makes tho follow
lug sworn statement: Kenyon &
Thomas: This is to certify whatI know
your wonderful medicine, DIR. Hale's
Household Ointment, will do in cases of
pneumonia. Last winter my mother,
who is rs years of age, was sick unto
death with pneumonia. Both lungs
were badly involved. The attending
physician said she must die. AS last
resort we commenced using
your DIR. Hale's Household Oint-
ment, applying it freely and
thoroughly to tho chest, keeping
the lungs covered with hot fanneIs.
She soon began to improve and in
twelve hours the crisis was past and
she was out of danger and is alive and
we'll to-day. Your great remedy saved
her life. John =. Edwards.

BOOTS AND BoNEsET.
tommy Paid Dearly for an Afternoons
Fun and Frolic.

Benjamin Franklin Davis, better
known as Benny, had pair of new
boots. They came to him on his birth
day, which happened to be that twenty
ninth of February which comes only
once in four years. On the three off
years he was obliged to take tho first of
March for his birthday, else he was
afraid he would get no presents. But
this year he was all right, because it
was leap year.
The next day Chat was the first of
Marcr) was bright and sunny, for n
wonder, as the stormy month ''came in
like lamb
Mrs. Davis said:
IF let you wear your new boots to-
day, Benny, you must be sure not to go
i'll the mud or water. I want you to
keep them nice for Sundays"
"Of course not" Benny promised.
III either wear overshoes, or put on
my old boots'
Thataftcrnoon, while his mamma was
paying some visits, Benny saw that the
sidewalk was nearly dry, and he
thought it would be good time to take
the new boots out for an airing.
At first he walked carefully, stepping
around any stray puddles he CHANGED to
find.
Pretty soon he saw n lot of bows
right in the middle of the street. They
were tormcnting poor stray kitten,
and they thought it great fun. Benny
thought so too, l am sorry to say. He
forgot his feet, and ran right into the
mud and water; he stood there, too,
while the cruel sport lasted.
His boots were q sight when he came
out, and lie felt ashamed to go home.
81 forgot, mamma" was all the plea
Benny could make, as he pulled off tho
wet boots; and his stockings-why, you
could almost wiring them!
Mrs. Davis rubbed his feet till they
Glowcd. Then she said:
"Now you must have bowl of bone
set and go right to bed"
So Benny had to sit at the table and
not cat bit of cake, only sip that bit
ter stuff!
The boncsct served two purposes, as
his mamma meant it should. 1t gave

Iowa's Legislative Trouble Ended.

Iowa's Legislative Trouble Ended.
Dies MONIES, April 12.-Judge Conrad
yesterday morning decided the long
pending case growing out of the election
of secretary of the senate. The Re-
publicans, with the retiring lieutenant
governor, elected j. w. Cliff to the Uffica.
When the Democratic lieutenant gov
ernor came into office the Democrats
ousted Cliff and elected man named
Parsons. Cliff enjoined the State audi
tor from issuing warrants to Parsons.
The decision holds that the Senate has
the right to GUST any emplo ye at any
time. This settles finally one Of the
most veXed legislative questions in
Iowa. 1t has given much trouble to
legislators.

RESCUED BY A PIG.
flow LittIo Missouri Girl Was Saved
from Wntcry Grave.

from Wntory Grave.
On an Arkansas farm lives a six
months-old pig who deserves share of
the laurcls usually accorded to faithful
and intelligent dogs who save life. The
owner OF the farm has Il young daugh-
ter who has always been delicate. He
gave her the pig when it was hardly
larger than his own hand, thinking it
might amusc her. She raised the little
animal, became much attached to il
and the two played together every day
that she was able to be out of doors.
The other day-the father tells the
story in the st. Joseph News-about
five o'clock in the evening heard the
horn sound from the house. l knew
something was wrong and dropped nv
work and ran. My wife cried .Oh,
Nathan. / can't find Nellie anywhercl
The last I remember seeing her she
was playing under the big tree by the
gate"
1t was whole minute before I could
gather up my senses. Then went and
let out the pig. He ran around the yard,
and stopped to eat some crumbs which
Nellie had left under the big tree.
All at once away he went, with his
nose to the ground, running SO fast that
l could not keep up with him. He
plunged into the woods, and plunged
in after him. At last he turned sudden
ly to the left, and went racing down the
slope.
My heart went down into my boots.
At the bottom of the hill lay marsh
covered with green growth, and al
most knew that poor little Nellie had
walked into it, and was drowned.
hurried down the hill, but at first 1
couldn't sec anything of the pig.
Around bend in the marsh what do
you think I saw? On the bank, with
his feet firmly braced, was the pig,
holding Nellie out of the water as best
he could by her clothing.
| thought at first that she was dead,
and she did come very near slipping
away from us. but we finally brought
her around.

ghc Illustration OF "picls,Yicll."

The history of the "Picllwicll Pa
pcTs. The change in the original de-
sign, the tragic death Of Seymour, the
hasty appointment and dismissal of
Buss, haze been graphically described
by Forster IN his life Of Dickens. The
work which had started dependent for
the most part on illustration, and had
gained success on its letter-press, was
now in perilcus state. lis originator
dead by his own hand, and his success
sor declared incapable, the need of an
illustrator was soon noised abroad
alnoug the artistic fraternity, and two
competitors senciA their designs, Hab-
lot Brewne and William Makepeace
Thackcray Thaclery, as we know
from lis 5wn lirs, had at this time the
intention Of becoming an artist. With
few sketches he called upon Dickens,
who lold him that the choice had fallen
upon Browne. Leaving Fupival's Inn,
fhackeray made his way to Newman
street to acquaint his rival with his sue
cess. and 10 offer him the earliest con-
gratulations. Together these young
men Immediately repaired to neigh
boring public house, where banquet,
consisting of sausages q. bottled stout,
vas held for the better satisfying OF
their appetites and to do greater honor
to the occasion. The feast finished, the
good wishes pledged, and Thackeray
gone, Browne started OF to communi-
cate the news and to get the assistance
of his quondam fellow-apprentice, Rob
ert Young, who was then boarding in
Chester Place. Bidding him bring bis
latch-Ley, Browne hurried him back to
Newman street, and throughout that
night the two worked upon the plates,
Browne etching while Young bit them
in. BY morning the first was finished,
and in Sam Weller q creation was given

The Gvea. yEaliof China.

The scenery from the Great Wall is
very fine. The wall i here q dividing
line between the high, rugged hills OF
China, which tower above Us on the
one hand and the great sandy plains Of
Mongolia on the other, with dim noun
tain-summits beyond in the far dis
tauce. Over these barren, rocky spurs
and activities, ascending 10 their very
SUBMITS, winding about in irregular
curvcs and zigzags, its serricd battle
mcats clear-cut against the sky on the
topmdst ridges, descending into dark
gullies 10 appear again rising on the
other side, Che endless line Of massive
stone and brick runs on and on until
lost to sight behind the farthest range.
And so il goes for miles and miles, east
ward to the Pechili Gulf. and westward,
mostly in two great, rambling lines,
along the border of the Cobb Desert
and Kansu, until it ends among the
foothills of the Nan Shan range.
However we may regard it, whether as
a grand conception for the defense of
an empire, as an engineering feat, or
merely as a result of the persistent ap-
plication of human labor, it is stupen-
dous work No achievement Of the
present time compares with it in mag
nitude.
Bat it has outlived its usefulness.
The powcYiulTartar andMongol hordes,
whose sudden raids and invasious it
was built to resist, are no more to be
feared. The great Genghis and Kublai
could not lead their people to CORY con-
quest now as they did centuries ago.
The Chinese civilization has endured,
while the once conquering NIongols,
the people who in their brightest days
established an empire from the Black
Sea to the China coast, and court at
Peking of such luxury and splendor as
Marco Paulo described, are now doom
ed to pass away, leaving nothing be-
hind them but the traditions, and rec
ords, and ruins of q brilliant past. The
wall stands as a sharp line OF division
between the tribes Of the north and the
Chinese. The latter, though repeated
~ sUbdued, and forced to bear foreign
yoke, have shown an irrepressible vi
tality TO rise like Il phenix, and to re-
assert their supremacy and the superb
ority oftheir ciyilization.-Janudy Cen
