An clean yer barn in every part;
But brush yer cobwebs from yer head,
An sweep the snowbank from yer

But rake yer fogy notions down
An sweep yer'dusty soul OF gloom.

/ An dress yer soul in newer style,
Scrape from yer min its WORKOUT crust.
An dump it in the rubbish pile.
Sweep out the hates that burn an smart,
Bring in new loves serene and pure,
Aroun' the hearthstone of the heart
Place modern styles of furniture.
Clean out yer moril cubby holes,
| Sweep out the dirt,scrape off the scum
'Tis cleanin' time for healthy souls,
Git up an dust The spring hez come!
Clean out the corners of the brain,
Bear down with scrubbin' brush and

An dump oil Fear into the rain,
An dust cozy chair for Hope.
Clean out the brains deep rubbish hole,
| Soak every Granny great an small,
An in the front room of the soul,
Hang potter pictures on the wall.
Scrub up the winders of the mind,
Clean up, an let the spring begin;
Swing open wide the dusky blind
An lett the April sunshine in.
Plant flowers in the souls front yard.
Set outline shade an blossom trees.
An let the soul once froZe an hard
SprOut crocuses of new idees.
Yes, clean yer house, e N clean yer shed
An clean yer barn in every part;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head.
An sweep the snowbanks from yer

AN APRIL COLD!

Whole System.

Needs n Spring Remedy to Cleanse the
Whole System.
A cold is the starting point OF more than
half of the fatal illnesses from November to
May. A cold is the first chapter in the his
tory of every case of consumption. A cold
is the first stage of chronic catarrh, the most
loathsome and stubborn of diseases. cold
is the legitimate parent of large family of
diseases, such as bronchitis, pleurisy, pneu-
monia and quinsy. To neglect a cold is
almost suicide. To fail TO provide against
this well-neigh inevitable evil is dangerous
negligence. Pe-ru-na is a safeguard as
preventive, specific as a cure for all cases
of catarrh, acute and chronic, colds, coughs,
consumption, etc.
Every family should be provided with a
copy of The Family Physician No. 2, a
complete guide to prevent and cure catarrh
and all other winter diseases; and also the
latest edition of The Family Physician No.
8, which is devoted to spring medicines and
the bodily disorders peculiar to the spring
of the year-a book that no one can afford
TO be without at this time of the year. Either

uring Company of Columbus, Ohio.

Mexican Dom estic Animals.

The ancient Mexican knew nothing Of
the use Of beasts Of burden. The llama
was wild and seeming gly undesirable for
domestic purposes. From the bison,
hheep and goat they derive little or no
benefit. The dog has always been a
favored animal with the Mexicans, and
has been used as beast OF burden to
carry their tents and draw their baggage,
% amongt the savage Comanchss Of North
America. In the days before Cortes
and his conquering hosts invaded the
Aztec Kingdom the natives kept only the
small, dumb dog, which they fattened
for the table. The Spaniards introduced
horned cattle and horses, which subse-
quently roamed wild, and to this day
vast herds and droves occupy the plains
OF Jalisco, Durango, Zicatecas and
chihuahua. Louis Republic.

POET VERSUS EDITOR.

A tall, lank young man came into a
New York e1itor's sanctum, aud hand
ing him poem several feet long to read,
said, in condesc ending sort of way:
"You can publish this poem for $10.'
.'All right. just hand over the $40.
That's below our usual rates, but times
are hard"
"You misunderstood me. Imean you
can have the poem by paying $l0."
"Can't take it. It's too cheap. 1t
would be robbing you, for I know where
you can get more than $40 for it."
"Where2"
"Take it to justice of the peace aud
read it to him aud you will get $40 an l
thirty days in the county jail if you
don't'pay your fne."
He looked sadly at the editor, shook
his head and watte1 himself out the

Is IL "COal 0lli"

The 'average man" (and you will find
him everywhere In the proportion Of
about ninety. nine to one) speaks of pc.
troleum-refned-a "coal OIL" This
Is done primarily because of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
and that coal is Of vegetable origin.
Geologists and scientists in general, how
ever, take different view of the matter.
To them the oil is relic Of past geo.
logical ages, as we'll as OF animals that
lived when the earth was young. In re.
ferring.t to the genesis of "coal oil" they
never think Of 1t except as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavals aud
downfalls of the earth's crust, which re.
suited in burying billions of tons of
vegetable matter, which subsequently
turned to coal, also covered millions of
gigantic animals with hundreds and
thousands of feet of sediment. This
aedimentary deposit, in the ages which
have elapsed since old nature was racked
with those rock-rending convulsions
which geologists are so fond of telling US
about, have turned into great strata OF
sandstone, limestone, etc., the oil COM
pressed from the great aggregation OF
animal remains settling In basins, to be
tapped by the ingenious well-sipkers Of
the last half of tho Nineteenth Century.
Thus even past ages are made to contrI.
butte to the welfare and comfort of pres.
ent generations.-St. Louis Republic.
