 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; ,t. -a. 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, ,t 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 8 good supply of Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It would cleanse Amelia's bad blood ,rSure pas ailments, and check mas cough. The Golden Medical Discovery" by its action on the liver, cleanseS the system of impurities.

H. F. GROSS, a Philadelphian, who has been studying the anatomy of the oyster for six years, during which time he has dissected 5000 specimens and put them under the microscope, ad- vances the theory that oysters may communicate tuberculosis, that, in fact, they are overrun with bacilli. To a visitor Mir Goss said: "Let me show you how I work" and, opening small case of slender, keen-edged knives, he cut tiny portions from each oyster. These he placed in jars of colored fluid for several minutes, and then, handling them with small German silver tweezers, he mounted the particles on glass slides, first dropping little Canada balsam upon each slide. He lit a lamp beside his microscope, placed a slide beneath the lens, and then, after carefully adjusting the focus, exhibited, one after another, upwards of thirty parts of the oysters organism. II have discovered" he continued, Gin the lunge of sixty per cent of the specimens ex. amined clearly defined bacilli, this fact seeming to prove that thousands of oysters suffer from consumption. am able to tell at glance whether or not an oyster Is thus afflicted; but the ma. | jority of openers are not, as the disease makes only slight change in the oysters appearance. Consequently through the ignorance of his server, 6 man innocently will eat a consumptive oyster; then the bacili tuberculosi ir it's lungs may impregnate his system and he is not unlikely to fall victim to the fatal disease"

A BARREN PLATEAU,
An A'I"tIO 1nbleland Over Two Mi

An AsIatIc TRbleIand Over Two MIlea
 Above the Sea.
 It is not often that we are led to think how thin the shell of air in which we live really Is, and how close above our heads lie the borders of the vast abyss of space in which if we ventured we should perish like fish thrown out of water.
 It is true that when we climb lofty mountain we are impressed by the com parative lifelessness of its peaks, but then one naturally expects an effect of that kind from the barren aspect of all rocky eminences. It is different with @ high, broad tableland, covered with soil, and lying in full sunshine above many of the clouds that darken the lower earth. In such a land, we arc apt to think, 1t must be very pleasant to dwell.
 But, as a matter of fact, these ele- vHted regions present most convincing proofs of the life-destroying effects of the thinness of the air at height of two or three miles above the general surface of the earth. One of the best instances of this has been brought to light through the explorations of tray. slers on the great Asiatic tableland on which the oriental imagination has be. slowed such names as ''the Roof of the World" and "the Halfway House to Heaven" ....
 Marco Polo was informed, and many people since his time have believed, that this tableland, whose area may be about three times that of the state of Massachusetts, was a brilliant land of sunshine and rich pastures
 But recent travellers who have Gs- cended to 1t, and crossed 1t. inform ua that the plateau, whose mean elevation above the sea is not less than twelve thousand feet, is a barren waste, rough ened with hills and mountains which are coated with ice, swept and pinehed by bitter winds and frosts, and SO laclS- ing in the ability to support even the hardier forms of vegetable life that 1t cannot feed the caravans that crosa 1t It possesses some isolated oases where life clings to the soil.
 This barren condition of the pleateau is owing to the fact that 1t lies about two miles and half above sea level. What . striking sense of the closenesa of our confinement to the surface of the earth is furnished by a fact like that!- Youths Communion

Home Study.
 By John II. Daniels, Executive Secretary Chau
 tauqua College.]
 Everybody who has passed what is known as the school age without enjoying the advantages of thorough school and college training recog- nizes the loss which he has sustained, but com paratively few appreciate the advantages which are yet within their reach. In these days of sci entifo clubs, reading circles, free libraries, cheap books and university extension anyone who is willing to make moderate sacrifice of time and work is able to make up in large measure for his carly educational disadvantages or omissions.
 ChautauQua hns beea prominent during the last few years in the work of assisting busy people to educate themselves through the es- tablishment of courses for individual readers and the many thousand local reading circles but 0 department of the ChautauQua system which is not generally known or understood Is the Correspondence college. In connection with this institution about 400 students are studying by correspondence the regular college course which is offered in our best resident colleges.
 The method of instruction has stood the test Of years of practical use and is no longer an ex- pertinent The instructors gre representative members of the faculties of representative tn- stitutions, and offer correspondence courses which are on a par with the courses which they offer in their class rooms. Lesson outlines are sent to the student to direct him in the prepara- tion of his lessons, and in such numbers aS to allow him to use all the time at his disposal without oelnS conpeueu to wat Aor nS" An' struction sheets. He may cover the ground as rapidly or slowly es his own time or preference may determine without being delayed or hurried by classmates He must recite the whole of every lesson, and the practice of putting his answers on paper trains him ct once In the sub ject which he is studying more thoroughly and in brevity and exactness of expression. This method is also calculated to give him greater confidence in the results of his own work than he would gain in the ordinary way. While the office of Chautauqua college, where students are enrolled and make their arrangements for work, Is located at Buffalo, N. Y, the college it. self extends from the eight or ten local insdtu- tions where the professors are engaged to the many cities, towns and villages near and far where the individual student is following the guidance of his perhaps far-distant instructor.

Tho Attitude of the FArmerS' Alliance.
 [By Congressman J. F. Lvingston.l
 What is the attitude of the alliance people at this time toward the great questions that are Ggitating the public mind, and what Is their condition and strength, and what of the future3 The alliance people of this country are thor oughly aroused and extremely sensitive touch ing political questions and methods. This grows out of their peculiar circumstances and recent education. They believe that all effects are traceAble to causea The impoverished con dition of the masses is not an exception to this rule. It has ftS cause, and in their opinion can
 be as clearly defined and as unquestionably demonstrated as any other philosophical propo- sitton. Much thought and extended educati as to the discovery of the cause or causes that have led up to the present condition of the people in this country, have obtained for the last two years. 1admit that the conclusions drawn may be to some extent strained and mixed slightly with error, but upon the whole the causes now assigned by alliance men everywhere are indisputable
 They believe that while many minor missteps on the part of national and state legislation and political parties have had more or less to do with the condition of things, yet the fact re- mains that the two great causes of poverty and want now spreading over this land like dark pail, producing unrest and instability among all classes and in all sections, are the financial and
 taxing systems of this country. Indeed in the light of history, they have concluded that they have reached that portion of the highway upon which all other nations have been wrecked that nave QareQ To vr2Vel 1b thus Tar. 'ClaSS leg1S- lation"-legislation for the few against tho many plutocracy versus poverty; patricians versus plebeians- This has brought them to the condition of desperation. They are very much in the condition of a man passing down tho descents of a craggy mountain, when suddenly he stops at the edge of an unfathomed precipice with death staring him in front and no physical force to regain the the summit. No wonder political parties are unsettled; no wonder that commerce hangs tn uncertain balances; no wonder that this people have so little confidence fin any mortal man or party. From this unrest and uncertainty either much good or the destruction of the liberties of this country, with all its cherished forms and prestige will evolve. The great question with statesmen and patriots as well as alliance men I is, which of the twain shall be the result? This must be settled and solely so by the methods | used to displace the mislegislation and recover to the people their constitutional and inalien.
