The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect OF ones
own self A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass oil, and 1t Is only
when a case of full-hedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences
that neglect are fully realized. As
preventive and positive cure for Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use EilertV Ex-
tract Of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

How Vaccine virus Is Obtained.

The preparation used to produce what
we call vaccination" is known among
medical men as vaccine virus, to produce
which it is necessary to go through a sur
gical operation, the subject being young
COW or even calf After scarifying the
belly of the animal (the parts having pre-
viously been shaved), the wound is inocu-
lated with virus from an animal already
in use A sore is thus formed without
lasting injury to the beast, and after a
week or ten days thin vaccid matter be-
gins to flow from the abrasion. This pus
or matter is the vaccine virus of commerce.
Goose quilts which have been scraped
with knife until they present a rough ex-
terror are rubbed in this virus. The virus
from one abrasion is sufficient to coat 49,
600 quilts which, after being so prepared,
are technically called "points." These
points, when ready for shipment, look very
much like ordinary goose quilts, the virus
coating not being visible to the naked eye.

Mental Dissipation.

II know literary man, says phllo-
sophie friend who works from twelve to
eighteen hours a day. He complains
when he ha time-that he hasn't half
time enough to do what he would like to
do That man is study. He is the best
read man KNOWS living encyclopedia
of knowledge But he doesn't know enough
to come to dinner. | presume such men
are necessary to the world. 1t is a curious
thing that the man who works hard with
his brains conceives more work and is in
spired by the ambition to accomplish it,,
whereas the man who hasn't anything par
ticularly to do never originates anything
and finds it task to do anything.
"These qualities often exist in the same
man. Now, in my own case, when l am
much driven, think of lots of things I'd
like to do if had time, | make memo
randum of them and put them aside, work,
ing little on this or that between times.
Just as soon as am relieved from mental
pressure my thought, capacity, industry
and ambition collapse together. | think
work, congenial mental labor, is sort OF
dissipation The more you have of it the
more you want and the more you can do
until something snaps. New York Her

Is there not gold enough in your hard grip,
But you with sacriligious hands must strip
These temples old where God first set his manner

In majesty of swerveless rectitude;
Like sages old and tried that brood

Leaves hill and vale in gaunt and naked shame;

BREAKS THE sPARRows' HEARTS,
Novel way In which "A Boy and Dog
Earned the Chicago Bounty.

Novel Way In which Boy and Dog
Earned the Chicago Bounty.
Across the street from where Dick ana
his owner live is large vacant lot which
has lately been cleared of trees, many OF
the branches of which were allowed to re-
main on the ground. In the tall grass
which grew up under these branches thou
sands of English sparrows daily congre-
gate to feed ON the grass seed and then
perch in the fallen tree tops. About the
time that the law putting price OF the
heads of these winged offenders went into
effect the attention of Dicks owner was
attracted to this rendezvous of the birds
as first class place to secure sparrow
scalps
Being without gun he went over to see
what he could do in the way of stoning a
few of them to death. Dick accompanied
him on the hunt and to his masters dis
gust made sudden bound in among the
sparrows before he had a chance to throw
a stone, II dynamite bomb had been ex-
ploded among the birds their consterna-
ton could not have been greater. They
few in every direction, as if shot out OF a
gun, striking their wings and heads against
the branches Of the trees in their wist'
haste to get away. Dick sueaked OIL, with
the sheepish look Of a dog who knows he
has done wrong.
! His master turned away in disgust, In
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-03-18

a minute or two he noticed that Che spar
rows had returned and started to make an
other attack Dick, who was watching
the campaign with much eagerness, made
detour, and coming up stealthlly from
the other side repeated his previous exploit
before his master could get close enoughto
hit them. TIE lad then turned his bat
teries on Dick who prudently kept out OF
range and aw lited developments
The boy walked away, but Dick remained
He had discovered new diversion. de
would walk off little distance and lie
down and wait until the sparrows mad
gathered in the branches again, when he
would creep up slowly and with sudden
bound pounce down on the sparrows again.
This soon began to interest the boy too
He sat and tched Dicks maneuvers for
several hours, thinking it great fun. After
awhile he noticed that as the sparrows
flew away some of them dropped to the
ground suddenly as if hurt, and picking up
one which had fallen near him, found it
dead. Before night he had collected near
ly 100 sparrows.
After disposing of his collection at the
sparrow Office next morning and opening
up negotiations for small rifle he re-
turned to his hunting ground. DICK had
preceded him, and he found quite batch
of dead sparrows as the result of Dicks
morning efforts In fact, the number OF
dead sparrows increased daily, and finally
the boys curiosity was aroused. What is
it what kills emf" he asked Of a sympa-
thetic old Irish woman who keeps candy
and fruit store in the block, and whose
sales had be il largely increased by the
boys success in sparrow catching. "Shure
| it's of broken harrut the puir crathurs

say they kape thryin to go to the brush all
| the tonne to get boite to ate, an yere ras-
cally baste av dog kapes huntin 'em
away till the puir things die of viXashun
and disappointment, SO they do"
| A physician of the neighborhood who
has made a study of ORTHODOXY had his
curiosity aroused by the strange way in
which the birds died and dissected several
of them to d cover the cause of death. TO
his surprise le found the old lrishwom-
ans hasty conclusion was correct. In every
case he fouil the birds heart was rup-
tured. Whether this resulted frotn the
sudden fright which the birds got when
Dick sprang among them or whether 1t
was from ''vixashun and disappointment"
the doctor declines to Chicago Times.

lions entered this competition OF praise
in such q manner as benefits both the
vastness and richness of the country ami
the memory Of the man so great as he to
whom those honors are being shown
Nothing, certainly, could be more
splendid than what is told us of the grand
and magnificent exposition which the
nation will hold at Chicago, bringing to-
gether every kind of produce and work
which fruitful nature bears and the art
full industry of man creates. The success
of this effort will surely be another proof
of the great spirit and active energy OF
the people who undertake enormous and
difficult tasks with such great and happy
daring.
We rejoice, moreover, in the nobility of
the purpose which is equal in greatness
to the undertaking itself. 1t is testi-
monv of honor and gratitude to that i'm
mortal man of whom we have spoken,
who, DESTROYS of finding road by which
the light and truth and all the adorn-
ments of civil culture might be carried to
the most distant part Of the world, could
neither be deferred by the dangers nor
wearied by labors until having, in GER
tain manner, renewed the bond between
two parts of the human race so long sep
arated. He bestowed upon both such ben
efits that he, in justice, may be said
to have few equals or a superior.
While therefore, we bestow on the cltl-
zens of the great republic well-merited
praise, we express the fervent hope that
their noble undertaking may, other ma
tions uniting with them and lending aid,
have a most prosperous issue that VIII
prove of great use in stimulating the in,
genuity of promoting the development cf
nature and in encouraging all the fine
arts.
