The following extract from a letter
written by j. A. Starbuck, of Yorktown
Iowa, speaks for itself. 1.-Two years ago.
in harvest time, a young man came in my
store and SAID be had been binding wheat
during the forenoon, and was 80 bad with
diarrhoea and collie pains, that he would
have to lay off unless he could get relief.
took Il bottle OF yonr diarrhoea remedy
from the shelf; gave him dose; sold him
the bottle. and gave him the bottle, and
told him L would give him the money
back ii it did no good. He came back
next morning and said the single dose
did its work so well. that he not only kept
mp his place during the afternoon, but
dad worked all night; and had the price
Of the dose gave him been three dollaEat
it wonld have been cheap. would fus-
ther say, keep ON with your good work.
You cannot recommend your medicine
too highly. Chamberlain's Collie, Chole-
IA and Diarrhoea Remedy is one of the
greatest medicines of the age; it cannot
be beat. Wishing you much success and
prosperity which yOu richly deserve, re-
main, truly your friend" For sale by all

COLOR OF GOLD.

It Depends on the Location Where the
Precious Metal L. Found.
'sMost people suppose" says an as
sayer, that all gold is alike when re-
fined. but this is not the case. An ex-
perienced man can tell at a glance from
what part Of. the world gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what
part OF particular gold district the
metal was obtained.
1.-THE Australian gold. for instance, is
distinctly redder than the Californian,
and this difference in color is always
perceptible, even when the gold is one
thousand fine.
again, the gold obtained from the
placers is yellower than that which is
taken directly from quartz Why this
should be the case is one of the mys-
teries Of metallurgy. for the placer gold
all comes from the veins The Ural
gold is the reddest found anywhere.
''Few people know the real color Of
gold. as it is seldom seen unless heavily
alloyed. which renders it redder than
when pure. The purest coins ever
made were the ffty-dollar pieces that
used to be common in California
Their coinage was abandoned for
two reasons; first, because the loss by
abrasion was so great. and secondly,
because the interior could be bored out
and lead substituted, the difference In
weight being too small to be readily
noticed In SO large . piece. These
oetagcn coins were the most valuable

tweve feet distant. bit in order to dis
Germ them as clearly with r1y left eve |
require to bring that organ of vision as
near to the figures rs eight inches On
looking at my gold chain hanging on
my breast in daylight and with both
eyes, the chain, colored yellow and to-
ward the left, is perceived by the right
eye, while steely-blue chain, another.
yet the same, is perceived about an inch
to the right and little higher up. By
artificial light the same phonemenon
presents itself, but the difference OF
color is not SO apparent; the yellow to
the right is only DINNER. Again, when
page of Nature is being read with the
short-sighted eye there appears, about
an inch to the left, part of the same col
umn, small, and the black, under arti-
fetal light, like weak purple. The right
hand side of this gnost-like column is
lost to the right eye, being commingled
with the larger, darker letters seen by
the short-sighted left, which cover it
like the more recent writing on q palimp-
sest. Middle life was reached before
the discovery was made. These expe
riences must be gone through with in
tent, for objects generally being per
ceived altogether with the right eye, all
that the left seems good for is to supply
little more light. The perception Of
the difference of color is as good with
the one eye as with the other, and the
short-sighted eye can read smaller type.
As the inferior animals, so far as /
know, have no habit of peeping or look
ing with one eye shut and the other
opened, it occurred to me that this abil-
ity might be limited one. tried the
experiment with school children, and to
my surprise found that few were
quite unable to keep one eye shut and
the other open at the same time, and a
few did it with an effort, making in all
about fourth of the number. Adults
were likewise under similar limits, but
to less extent. This may DO the
reason why the discovery of inequality
of vision, as Sir John Herschel remarks.
is often made late in life. Indeed, he
mentions an elderly person who made
the unpleasant discovery that he was
altogether blind of an eye.

FREAKS OF HUMAN NATURE.

Some Of Them Which Physicians Have
Opportunity to See.
I'VE doctors have a much better OPP
portunity than most people for studying
human nature" said q Washington
physician to Washington Star reporter
the other day. ''Most patients do not
consider it necessary to put on airs be-
fore their medical attendants. One
thing that has often struck me is the
disregard which young folks generally
have for the old. l don't mean that they
are not courteous to them, for courtesy
to ones elders is matter of ordinary
education; but when it comes to really
caring for them they are lacking as q
rule.
''One is shocked to read of the man
ner in which savage tribes all over the
world leave the old people to die neg
lected, even depriving them of shelter
because they are no longer useful
Even in civilized countries the same
thing is often done. Go to Savoy
and you find that the aged and in
firm are put out to beg on the public
highways. 1t is commonly saids that
the love of the child for the parent
is much less strong, even among the
most enlightened peoples, than the af-
lection of the parent for the child.
There is reason for this, which philos-
ophers find in natural law. The love
of the parent for the child is necessary
to the perpetuation of the race, for
which nature makes provision beyond
all things else; but, on the other hand,
there is no such reason of necessity for
care taking on the part of the child in
behalf of the parent.
$50 am not surprised to find in my
practice ever so many instances where
old people are neglected by their chill
dren, who are apt to regard them as q
burden, considering often that they
would be very much better out of the
world and way. Another thing even
more remarkable that notice is that
conjugal affection is very apt not to
survive long illnesses. If the wife is an
invalid the husband Outlines becomes
indifferent to her after awhile. Or, if
the husband is sicllly, the wife finds it
burdensome. In either case the well
partner to the matrimonial bargain be-
comes, though unconsciously, resentful
of the invalidism OF the other, and in
many cases seeks distractions outside of
the home"

WOMAN'S DlSCOURTESY.
Some Severe Criticisms on Her Manners
Respecting Others of Her Sex.

Some Severe Criticisms on Her Manners
Respecting Others of Her Sex.
1T is surprising how discourteous
women are to women" said Washing
ton physician to a writer for the Star.
''In my Office they are continually dis
putting unreasonably over the question
of precedence. Only recently some
thing occurred which was merely re-
petition of what has happened many
times before. The door of my sanctum
was opened for the next patient, and
two ladies in the waiting-room engaged
In dispute as too who was first. They
referred the question to me for arbitra-
ton, but am too wise IN my genera
ton to get into a scrape of that sort.
So did what always do under such
circumstances and said:
"'Well, ladies, shall have to leave
you to settle the matter between your
selves.
"Then turned to the person who
was third and escorted her into my pri-
vate Office, whereupon the two disput-
ants both went away in huff.
Usually this sort of trouble comes
about through misunderstanding of one
of the most ordinary rules relating to
precedence. A lady will come in, find
a number Of patients waiting and go
out again. Later she will return and
expect, quite as matter of course, to
resume the place in respect to turn
which she would have had if she had re-
manned. She says:
"'Why, / was here an hour ago.
''Such claim inevitably gives rise to
contention. / never interfere. NY
policy is always to let them fight it out.
81 will assert with confidence that
women, although nominally of the gen.
tier sex. are not nearly so courteous in
their treatment Of one another as men
are.
Take notice when you ride on the
street car and you will observe that
the women, who expect so much
courtesy from the men, show little or
none to their own se2s They spread
themselves over the seats so as to pre-
vent others from sitting down, the ex-
cuse being that they are anxious not to
have their dresses crushed by crowding,
and if they have children permit them
to wipe their feet all over the next
neighbor. In the shops they notorious
ly lack eonsiderateness for the clerks,
crowd one another outrageously and
refuse to await their turns for atten-
ton. On board the sleeping cars they
are apt to exhibit the utmost indiffer-
ence to each others comfort, two or
three occupying the washing quarters
by the hour, to the exclusion of the rest.
1t would not be a bad idea, should inn
agine, to introduce in the training of
little girls slightly more vigorous dis
cipline respecting the consideration
which they ought to show for their
fellow-beings in petticoats."

THE HABIT or WASHING.


| Something About the Custom Of Ablut3ou
OF the Present Day.
Whether the opponents OF ablution
fear the shock of cold immersion o.
whether they dread the cleansing slim
| ulation thus applied to the excreting
skin surface their objection must ap-
pear to most persons possessed OF ordi-
nary health and vigor to threaten inn
pairment of both by fostering uncleanli-
ness, says the London Lancet. If, on
the other hand. it is too free application
Of heat by Turkish and other warm
baths which appear Objectionable we
will not deny that there is here pos
sible ground for complaint. Let it not
be supposed that we ignore the cura-
tive influence of the cleansing property
of this method when used with judg-
ment. 1t has undoubtedly its fitting
time and place if rightly applied. 1t is
no less true. however, that experience
has often proved the mischievous eff
fects of its misuse-in case, for exam
pie, of cardiac weakness or general ex-
haustion. Cold bathing in like manner
is not without its occasional risks. 1t
is not suitable for persons enfeebled
from any organic cause, though mere
nervous languor is often braccd and
benefited by it. 1t has no proper place
among the habits of those who are sub
ject to chronic visccral concessions. AS
regards one advantage derived from
bathing, i. e., its cleansing property,
there is no reasonable ground for differ
ence of opinion. Man, whether savage or
civilized, appears, as rule, to have no
doubt on the subject. Wherever we find
him with water accessible he is bath
er. Less practiced by one people than
another though it may be, there still is
commonly recognizable constant hab-
it of ablution, and this fact in itself
attests at least an almost universal be-
lief in the necessity of insuring clean
illness by means of washing. Nor can
we find reason to doubt the general
soundness of this belief. In bathing
temperature is of course chief consid-
Grafton. For the robust cold immersion
followed by rapid friction is valuable
tonic of nerve, skin and heart fune-
ton. For less vigorous constitutions
those, for example, which have been
tried by disease and those of young
children-the addition of heat up to
the temperature point is only judicious.
With some persons a warm bath is a
daily luxury. Notwithstanding it's eff
cacy as a means of cleanliness, hoevev-
er, this custom is. or ought to be, dis
credited by It's inevitable action as
nervous dcpressant, which places it in
an unfavorable position compared with
the more bracing practice of cold effu-
sion. Tne benefit derived from bath
ing, therefore, is likely to assert itself
in spite of all adverse criticism and its
Aaismanagement, which is only too COM
mon, should not be suffered to condemn
it in the eyes of any judicious and clean
ly person. Sc
