Small but Deadly

Are many of the countless microbes
which infest the earth. Their destruc-
tion is great, as they destroy life in
thousands of human beings annually
The only limitation to their devasta-

countless diseases-as malaria, scrofula,
eczema, cancer, contagious blood poi
son, etc, etc. The remedy for this
small but numerous and destructive
foe, is to expel him from the body by

Sensible Talk from a Horse.

REMEMBER THAT "a MERCIFUL MAN
IS MERCIFUL TO HIS BEAST"
Don't ask me to ''backn with blinders
on. l am afraid to.
Don't lend me to some blockhead
that has less sense than l have.
Don't think because l am a horse
that iron weeds and briars won't hurt
my hay.
Don't be so careless of my harness as
to find great sore on me before you
attend to it.
Don't run me down steep hill, for
if anything should give away l might
break your neck.
Don't whip me when get frightened
along the road or will expect it next
time and maybe make trouble.
| Don't think because l go free under
the whip l don't get tired. You would
move up if under the whip.
Don't put on my blind bride so that
| it irritates my eyes, or so leave my
forelock that it will be in my eyes.
Don't hitch me to an iron post or
railing when the mercury is below
| freezing. l need the skin on my
tongue.
| Don't keep my stable very dark. for
when l get out into the light my eyes
are injured, especially if snow is on the
ground.
Don't leave me hitched in my stall
all night with big cob right where l
must lie down. l am tired and can't
select smooth place.
Don't forget to file my teeth when
they get jagged and l can not chew my
food When l get lean it is a sign my
teeth want filing.
Don't make me drink ice-cold water
nor put a frosty bit in my mouth
Warm the bit by holding half minute
against my body.
Don't compel me to eat more salt
than l want by mixing it with my oats.
| | know better than any other animal
how much | need.
Don't say whoa unless you mean it..
Teach me to stop at the word. 1t may
check me if the lines break and save a
runaway and smash-up.
Don't trot me up hill, for l have to
carry you and the buggy and myself,
too. Try it yourself some time. Run
up hill with a big load.
| Don't forget the old book that is a
friend of all the oppressed, that says
ga merciful man is merciful to his
beast"

The One-HOsS SHAY.

The peculiar feature of the ''one-hoss
shay" was, that it was built in such a
wonderful way that it had no weak
est part" The weakest part of a
woman is invariably her back, and
female weaknesses'' are only too COM
mon. With the use of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, this may be
avoided and women may be compare
lively as strong as their brothers.
Prolapsus, Inflammation, liberation,
periodical pains, leucorrhea, dragging
sleeplessness, despondency, are only a
few of the symptoms of weakness of
the female organs which the "Favorite
Prescription" is aOarrdnted to remove.

l have had catarrh for twenty years,
and used all kinds of remedies without
relief. Mr.. Smith, druggist, of Little
Falls, recommended Ely's Cream Balm
The effect of the first application was
magical, it allayed the inflammation
and the next morning my head was as
clear as a bell. l am convinced its use
will effect permanent cure. 1t is
soothing and pleasant, and l strongly
urge its use by all sufferers.-Geo.

ter"
you seem to take great interest in a
matter which does not concern you,n
said Gisele, who was vexed by Langle's s
opposition.
but, " replied Langle gravely, what
you ask Robert to do is very dam
gerous. Besides, you forget that his
mother adores him and that she will
never forgive you if make him expose
himself in this perilous manner"
But Gisele insisted
VERY well" said Robert, coldly. u
will enter the cage, if Bidel will allow me
to do so, as soon as the spectators have
departed. l do not wish to give a pub

ed, with tinge of sarcasm in his tone.
"Ah! l knew you would consentm ex-
claimed Gisele with apparent delight.
II will arrange the matter at once, ="
said Robert.
He went to Bidel, with whom he held
short conversation, then returned,
saying:
"The lions will beIfed in a few min
utes. | will enter the cage then with
Bidel."
By this time the spectators had de-
parted Robert, Langle, and Gisele ap-
preached the cage. Presently the lion
tanner joined them. He told Robert
that he was ready to feed the lions, and
invited him into the cage.
mo, Robert, do not CO." and Gisele.
81 do not wish you to enter the cage.
l asked you to do SO only because |
wanted you to seem ready to expose
yourself to any danger for my sake"
Pardon me, Gisele. for not acceding
to this new caprice of yours. AS to the
first," replied Robert, 81 have resolved
to enter the cage, and shall do So"
Robert turned away from Gisele, and
moment afterward he and the lion
tanner entered the cage. The lions,
eight in number, moved hither and
thither, obedient to the command of
their master but their large golden eyes
showed their astonishment at the pres
ence of this intruder who accompanied
| him.
Gisele and Langle looked on in 81
lence and in agony. Gisele, who was
| very pale, was only prevented from
giving voice to her anguish by the fear
of aggravating her lovers peril. Her
eyes, which were big with fright, were
| fixed on Robert. He, on the other hand,
| was quite calm, at least, in appearance.
Like Bidel, he was armed with a bar of
iron and a raw-hide. He was thus
doubly prepared to repel the lions if
they came too near him.
Robert was in the cage about five
minutes. Then he left it and regained
Gisele, who, radiant with joy, her
hands extended, exclaimed:
"Oh, Robert, how l admire you! how
p
Robert took one of Gisele's hands in
| his, and interrupting her, said, in calm
voice:
do not praise my exploit SO much,
for the act which you applaud was per
formed for my own sake rather than
yours. If l am brave, as now you evil
| IDENTIFY think me, l confess that l am
not without fear that shall not always
be able to accede to your desires, and
as it would pain me to cross SO charm
! ing woman, l renounce the honor of
being your husband"
AS soon as they returned to the cot
tage the party started for Paris. When
| they reached Gisele's home Robert bade
her good-by with profound bow, On
entering the house Gisele found the
superb bouquet which she was Occus-
toned to receive each day from Robert;
| it was the last. Gisele has never mar
| ried.

A Life Search.

Men in the ministry are brought into
contact with cranks Of all sorts. Their
name is legion, and the subject of re-
ligion, which appeals strongly to the
imagination and gives full scope to
speculation, has a special fascination for
them. If preachers would write out
their experiences with this class of per-
sons there would be no scarcity of spicy
reading. 1t was a harmless kind of
crank that Bishop Thomas Bowman, of
this city, ran against one time at camp
meeting. On that occasion he preached
from the following text: "As Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the son of man be lifted
up" The most attentive listener in the
