MO doubt have all heard this of that fur lN niture store "up in tn woods at Hawley- ville'' for our goods during the past year have been blockading the freight stations of nearly every town and city within a radius Of 100 miles, but have you ever been in to look over Whefher 09r yon care to buy or not. There is is something very fascinating about fine furni- ture and nearly y everybody M takes pleasure in est designs just as soon as they are out, al- though we are Gin the woods" we mean to keep up with the times and we can do it at Hawleyville under less expense than any of our competitors in city or country, except it be some small dealer whose stock in trade is mostly represented by bereau drawer full Ot cuts and photographs. Men have been known to select and engage d wife, il side board, a china closet, and even parlor organ or the first baby carriage from photographs. and feel perfectly satisfied with the goods when delivered, but this is the exception and not the rule. photograph gives the form but not the finish. It's an unsatisfactory way ot doing business. A man prefers to sit right down by the side of the article he is going to have, examine critically, see if iti quartered oak or plain, watch it palpitate, and judge tor himself of the tone of the instrument, color of eyes or hair, carving machine, or hand work, teeth ivory composition, 1nirrow French or German, bellows perfect or wheezy, color nat ural cherry initiation, voice to command or obey, trimmings plain plated, front sol i'd or veneer, locks non-pickable or worthless No photograph can vividly picture a snore or. bad breath, Sappy worm eaten timber, a com mon vainish finish, bad disposition, a bank balance, an imperfect mirror.sor a tendency 10 coiu Iettls LneTelOf uOL OEtieI IFOm pHolo- graphs.

The Necessity for Wholesome Diet.

Our people need to substitute a
clean wholesome diet for one that is
gross and impure; they eat too much
animal food. and not enough of the
products of the earth. Our horses fare
better than we do. so far as their eating
is concerned their food is natural,
while ours too often is not. Added to
this. we are quite too fond of condiments,
things that tickle the palate, but do not
nourish; and whatever the system
cannot appropriate it must throw out,
and overtax itself in trying to get rid
Of them. Another of our sins is that
Of OvereatiDg. This, too throws extra
work upon the depurating organs,
including the lungs the mucous mem
branes are liable to suffer, and, conse-
quently, the throat. Many an individual
breaks down in the throat and lungs,
simply from eating too much,-more,
perhaps, by one half, thai the system
requires.
think it is Abernethy who is said
to have given to patient. lord suffer-
ing with the govt, this prescription ::
Earn sixpence day, and live on it. "
Too much to eat and too little to do is
the parent of many ills, Nor is it too
much to say, that if our people were
allowanced, both in the quantity and
quality of the foods they eat, many
diseases now prevalent would soon
disappear. Family Mag

BY WILLIAM BRUNTON.


Good names are dear; for they present
Soul-faces fair, embodiment
Ofprinciples divine with worth,
Enriching and redeeming earth.
They paint high portraits to the mind,
The noble deeds great love enshrined;
They bring companionship sublime,
To walk W tn us the ways OF time;
Ope galleries where heroes stand,
In radiant sunrise, pure and grand
Like roses heart of FIRE, they show
The fragrant beauty we would know.
So one We name with joyous praise,
Our friend, indeed, these thousand days;
a saint as near as angels are,
Like pansies pure, but bright as star;
A voice as pleasant as lutte,
Where all the world to hear is mute,
Enchanting she the soul and sense
With thoughts that rush like tides immense
Strong currents sweep us swift along,
Homeric power of Right 'gainst Wrong.
Like Jean of old, we see her there,
Her sIlken banner in the air.
We follow her with thrill of those
That charge with passion on their foes;
And yet we feel the bliss so fine,
Where hatred turns to love divine.
Her eye enkindles strength and love
The lion-heart with heart of dove;
Religions life in Der is seen.
As blossoms set in leaves of green;
FAN charity assumes her form,
And courage breasting every storm.
She shows how woman can command,
Be clarion voice, Kind heart, good hand
A power to bless and help the race
To higher know ledge. love, and grace
How needfnl lis the whole combine.
As all the stars together shine,
SO that mankind may gain the good
OF loves united brotherhood.
Long be this soul our charm and stay.
We love her more each passing day.
Long may she work for man and God!
White lilies grow where she has trod

PURIFYING WATER.-Dr. Willis G.
Tucker tells that for household use on
a small scale water can be easily clari-
fed and purified by placing layer Of
clean cotton two or three inches deep
at the bottom of glass percolstor,
such as is used by druggists, and pour
ing the water to be Uttered, to which a
solution of alum has been added, into
the percolator aud allowing it to drip
through into clean vessel placed to
receive it. The alum solution is con-
veniently made by dissolving half an
ounce Of alum in quart of water, and
of this solution a scant teaspoonful
should be added to each gallon of wa
ter to be filtered. Alum is now used
in number of filtering and purifying
systems which have of late years been
brought prominently before the public
by their inventors or the companies
controlling them.

ENFORCING THE LAW.
The Treasury Department Has Issued NJ
Instructions Regarding Arrests

The Treasury Department Has Issued No
Instructions Regarding Arrests
WASHINGTON, Nay 15.-No orders had
been issued at the treasury department at
the close of business today as to deporting
Chinese under the Geary act. The in
structions under which collectors of in
ternal revenue and United States marshals
are now operating direct them to make
no arrests of unregistered Cinnamon I'M
IL further orders. These orders may be
given tomorrow after the cabinet meeting
or deferred for longer period. Secretary
Carlisle soon after ne heard of the de-
cisioD of the Supreme Court went to the
executive mansion and had a COME snce
with the president on the subject. He
remained for an hour or more
Attorney General Olney said until the
line of action to be pursued by our gov
eminent was mapped out he could say
nothing on the subject except that the
department of Justice had no money
available for deporting Chinese. A con-
servatiye estimate places the amount
necessary to deport unregistered Chinese
at Sc, 000, 900 with only SIG, sos available
for The purpose.
limitations are heard that Congress
may be convened to consider the matter:
A suggestion is made in official circles
here that Chinese unregistered may now
go TO the courts and ask TO be allowed to
register and remain in this country.
In any view of the case treasury officers
expect to experience great difficulty in
carrying out the mandate of the law.
That the Chinese must go, they look to
the cabinet to solve the problem at the
meeting tomorrow.
At the Chinese legation the Chinese
minister courteously declined to express
any opinion upon the decision of the
court or give any intimation of the course
his government might deem proper to
adopt under the circumstances. He
especially declined to say anything upon
an alleged retaliatory policy of ordering
the expulsion of Americans from China,
referred to in a San Francisco dispatch
this morning.
