THE LAST DRINK
He Tried Made Him Sick. and Now he
Cannot Bear the Smell.
OF EITHER WHIsKEY OR
BEER.

Some times since in Ell Paso, Texas,
man VINO had rearely ever been
known to refuse drink of liquor, was
asked by an Intimate friend TAI take .
drink, wnereupon ne promptly refused,
saying that he had not taken o drink
for several days, and the last drink he
tried to take made HIM sick, and says
he cannot bear the smell OF liquor now.
The secret of the refusal was owing to
this fact: HIS wife had secured
through friend, pamphlet issued by
the Golden Specific company, giving
accounts OF \ wonderful remedy tor
the liquor habit. She secured the
remedy, and give it to HIM for rheum-
atism, AS he was complaining a great
deal, and after six or seven days, the
above incident occurred.
In these days of cure-all-remedies-ili.
one-bottle, it Is most satisfactory 10 be
able to purchase cure for some one
thing, positive and permanent In Its
resulte, AS DIR. Haines' Golden Specific
Is known te be for drunkenness. It's
the liquor habits deadly antagonist.
which deals deaths to the drink disease
and restores the patient TO splendid
health. At the present time there are
many fake cures In the country for
drunkenness, utterly worthless and I'm.
reliable, which accomplish anything
else than the desired results. An
analysis OF many of the proposed
remedies reveal the deadly Attropine
and Strychnine. Fifteen years trial
the world over brings this Specific 10
the forefront as the peerless remedy
for terrible habit, which is properly
to be called a disease. 1t has q
universal reputation, and ite merits
are known as widely in England and
France as they are known in America.
The features which commend this
remedy 70 the public are: II is a pos
tive cure for drunkenness. 1t is
purely home remedy. To be cured

kinds friends, is most certainly pref.

To Prevent Baldne.s s.

A writer in an English medical pape,
says that much of the prevalent lido
pa hic badness, that is, badness not due
to previous disease OR exciting causes,
could be prevented, or, at ali events,
modified, if people would take few sem
sible precautions. A head-coyering
should be used as little as possible and
never indoors, in trains OF in closed car
riages. In summer and still weather
straw hats are best; in winter, light felt,
ventilated and unlined. Too constant
washing of the hair is unnecessary, as
well as harmful. Once q week is quite
enough for cleanliness as we'll as for
maintaining the strength of the hair.
The same remark applies to constant
brushing; continued brushing, esp,-
cially with harl brushes, should be
avoided. There is common notion that
greasing the hair is vulgar, and it is now
regarded as dad form" The conse-
quence is that many people fall into the
other extreme, and never apply any
pomade at all. After the hair has been
washed it is quite beneficial to apply
moderate quantity of some form Of SIM
pie grease or oil.-lCourier- Journal.

Omaha and the Grow.

There is probably no city in the
United States where the Common wild
crow makes himself as much at homo as
i'll Omaha. Here they are as common
almost as English sparrows or :ume
pigeons, and evinCe about as little fear
of man. All through the winter months,
especially when the ground is covered
with snow, this beautiful and intelligent
but very mischievous bird is common
sight on our by-streets and lanes, and
often in the very dooryards in the centre
of the city. They seem absolutely with
out fear of man or boy, and when busiy
engaged in the enjoyment of meal can
be approached within few yards before
they will take wing. 1hi, is all very
strange to people who have lived in the
Eastern States, where the crow is con-
sidered the shye and most wary Of all
wild birds.
Just now they are at their thickest in
and about Omaha, and great tiocks can
be seen every morning and evening fly
ing over the city. In the evening their
line of flight is from the south and
southwest to the north and northeast. In
tie morning they traverse the same flight
back again.
For years and years the birds have
roasted in the forest Of low willows east
and north of Cut OFF Island and when
the sable boss are congregating thither
in the shades of evening the spectacle is
a wonderful one. Omahas cscUtchcon
would certainly be incomplete without
the craven image of the cunning and in
dustrious crow upon it LOmaha Ncb.)

BABY Language. :

The matron of well managed found
ling institution in this city, when inter-
rogatcd the other Cay, said: Il am al
most convinced if little babies were left
to themselves they would form q curious
language Of their own. In it sounds
soft and simple would predominate and
gestures would form half the CONVERSE
ton Have You ever studied the faces
of these little sprites and seen their big,
bright eyes twinkle and their chubby
little fingers and dinplel hands restless
ly move without ceasing, day in and day
out? Their language would be cute
enough and all monosyIlables. Without
much talk they manage to communicate
with each other so as to be understood,
and curious little sounds will express
their pleasure, disgust, contempt love
or hate. Of course we call it baby talk
or infants prattle, but if they were to
work out their own way OF communica-
ton it would be regular built language,
and a concise one, too Philadelphia

THE MONKEY LANGUAGE.
Two Scientists who Do Not Agree
With Prof. Garner.

Prof. Gamers theory of language
among monkeys, as perfect and distinct
in itself us that of the human family, has
not achieved any encouraging recogni-
ton among the scientists of the country.
Dr. d. G. Brinton, of Philadelphia, takes
decided stand against Prof. Garner.
At meeting of the Nineteenth Century
Club in New York City, on Tuesday
evening, Prof. Garner explained his
theory at some length. Dr. Brinton
followed, and said that while the profess
sors scheme of preserving the various
cries of tho monkeys by means of the
monograph is an original and effective
one, some of his ideas concerning q
monkey language are, in his opinion, de-
cidedly at fault. Prof. Garner holds
that the articulate language Of human
beings is similar to the language of
monkeys. DR.. Brinton could not agree
with the professor ON that point.
Human speech" he said, SIS not de-
rived from the sensations of pain, plea
sure, hunger or the like, as Prof. Garner
holds. 1t is the development of the logi-
cal and not Of the emotional faculty, and
is the simplest form of expression. If,
for instance, man were to address you
in language with which you were wholly
he might be protesting
his love for you, while you might be-
'ieve he was expressing the opposite SEN
timent, and vice versa. With the brute
language it is different. 1t is not neces.
sary that one should be student of the
language of dogs to understand the diff
ference between the yelps of rage emit
ted by one of those animals when his
tail is trodden upon, and the bark of joy
ut meeting his master.
Language is purely conventional
md manufactured product, such as the
Orute creation are not competent to pro-
luce. The cries of a monkey are very
similar to the interjections of the human
language, but like these parts of the hu-
nan speech, they cannot be parsed.
Therefore, | hold there is no language
among monkeys"
DR.. Perry, professor Of Sanskrit in
Columbia College, agreed with the re-
marks of DR.. Brinton.
Prof. Garner felt rather incensed at
he remarks Of these gentlemen, but still
that monkeys can speak, and
will etart for the scene of his peculiar
researches in a week or so.--[Philadel-

an embarrassed smile, wiping his tingess

my brother lifted my feet and the next

"Thanks, thanks" I said, nodding
and smiling at him.
He stood by the carriage steps, hold

my brother and then at me with ques-
tioning expression.
There is still something in his mind, |
thought to myself. How could it be
otherwise? At the sight Of me the old
memories have awakened in him-he
does not trust himself-the past in his
heart must help him little.

the horses, turned round and looked at

among the cushions.
Thus, my friend, did take farewell
