cRANpMA's WEDDING.

So this is little Amy's marriage day:
Mark's Youngest daughter leaves her homo at
last
Before they went to church she fitted in
To show her dainty robes TO me. She looked
So like her sister Laura; was strong
And well when she was welded, but to-day
They all are gone, and am lying here.
It's kind Of you TO come and sit with me
Oh, no! am not lonely; pleasant thoughts
Como DER me, thoughts Of long ago; how once
That was dressed in bridal white and wore
The orange blossoms. remember well
How, Just before our solemn VOWS were said,
While we were waiting in the upper room,
I said to John, tremble In my voice:
"Will you be true to me In storm and shine?
When fortune frowns or smiles, when sorrows
comet
When am old. win you still love me Them
my own till death shall part" said he, in
tones
Which stin seem to hear, so soft his accents
fell.
"'Till death shall part" Twas forty years we
Together in our humble cottage home;
And then he went; held his hand in mine
And heard his last low words: Twill not be
long"
But that was twenty years ago, and still
/ wait for summons that know will come
To Join him in the heavenly home above,
Forever there in perfect love TO dwell.
Come, bring my gown and veil and put them on
The guests have come; the dear old parsor
waits;
No time il this to linger pray make haste!
There, all IL ready. Listcn On the stair

The Greatest Medical Discovery
of the Age.
KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCO VERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF RoxBuRY, MASS,

UVWALU kcUuCuls VI nUApunis mAOOss
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit Is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time, and read the Label.

Those living in portions OF our
country exposed to tornadoes will be
glad to know that scientists tell us
there is always warning of the ap-
proach of a tornado TO those that are
observant Clouds may be seen
hurrying together in the southwest
and west low dull roar of the wind
IN those clouds may be perceived,
while there is great stiffness and
sultry heat in the air, all of which
signs are sufficient to bid people look
for safety. This safety they will
never lind in any easterly direction.
One who faces the cloud as it comes
should seek safety to the right The
only absolute safety, however, is to
be found underground, in the cellar
of the house, if it is wooden house,
as the storm will whirl off the beams
and boards Of the structure; but if it
is a brick or stone house the shat.
tered walls will only tumble in; the
brick or stone house, moreover, will
fall sooner than the wooden one,
which yields and gives. In the tor
nado countries, especially in the more
open fortunes, there should be an
underground place provided for refuge,
with its roof arched and strengthened
by masonry and beams so that it can
not be broken in by anything heavy
falling upon it.-Harper's Bazaar

Canning in France and America.

you should have a law in Amer.
lea such as we have in France" said
L. b. Kirkland of Bordeaux, France,
TO a St Louis Globe Democrat re-
porter. by our laws such thing
as lead poisoning in canned goods is
an impossibility. Here it is very
great probability. Our system Is
known as the outside solder system,
and it is utterly impossible for the
lead 10 come in contact with the
goods Your system is all inside
solder. When the can is first opened
the goods should be used right away.
Some people, however, use Il portion
of the contents and permit the bal.
ance to remain standing over night.
Now, Immediately the can is opened
and the air strikes it a change takes
place in the tin and lead, and where
the goods are allowed to stand in the
open can the chances for lead poison
ing are very great In canning fruits
and vegetables in this country you
pursue a very different plan from the
French. Our cans have but one piece
of soldering. That is on the outside
and down the front, where the can is
Joined. When the can is filed a
light elastic band is placed inside
Then the top is milled to the can by
machinery. 1t is then placed in the
steam bath and allowed to cook for
twenty minutes or half an hour, and
sometimes as much as forty minutes,
according to the goods. The air es-
capeS through the elastic band and
the pores of the can. In America
the soldering of the can is all on the
inside. When it is filled the top is
soldered on and then it is placed in
the steam bath Instead of being al
! lowed to remain as with us, your cans
are never in the bath over five min
utes. Then the top is punctured
with an awl, and the air rusheS out.
After the air has escaped the hole in
the top is covered with drop of sol
der, which must naturally come in
contact with the goods, Fruits that
are canned with the pits such as
J prunes and cherries, you can buy very
cheap at this time Of the year, as
they are very apt to ferment But
they are not very good as rule"
