NATURE DEMANDS A TONIC.

We ought never to forget, even those
of us who possess vigorous health, that
we are wearing out-that the vital
clock work, so to speak, must event
ually run down. This, Of course, we
cannot prevent, because 1t is in the
ordinary course Of nature, but we may
retard the too speedy arrival of decay
by the use of an invigorant which takes
rank Of every other-namely, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This century
has not Witnessed a parallel in success
to this famous medicine, which not only
sustains health by promoting vigor,
but overcomes constipation, dyspepsia,
chills and fever, nervousness, rheuma
tism, and other disordered conditions
of the system fostered by weakness
and an impoverished condition of the
blood. The feeble persons convalescing
after exhausting disease, and the aged,
derive infinite benefit from the use of
this helpful and efficient tonic.

Talking of patent medicines-you
know the old prejudice. And the doc
tors-some of them are between you
and us. They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands won't cure
you. You'd believe in patent medi-
cines if they didn't profess to cure
everything-and So between the ex-
periments of doctors, and the expert
ence of patent medicines that are sold
only because there's money in the
" stuff" you lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the pre-
scription that cures by what you read
in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no
better way to sell remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and take the
risk of its doing just what it processes
to do.
That's what the Worlds Dispensary
Association, of Buffalo, n. Y, does
with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription.
If they don't do what their makers
say they'll do-you get your money
back.

She Was His Friend.

The man with cluster of diamonds
In his shirt was dazed.
The room seemed to whirl about him.
He was conscious of nothing save that
the cold and naughty woman whom he
adored had of her own free will fitted
to his side and whispered in his ear.
"Meet me alone" she had softly muir
INJURED, her sweet warm breath tanning
his cheek, Gin the conservatory"
A wild exhilaration thrilled him. He
walked on air.
"She loves me, she loves me, was the
thought that chased madly through his
excited brain.
elise why does she thus speak to meY"
he argued with his faint doubts.
AS in a dream he sought the conserva-
tory. There she stood, divinely radiant,
rivaling in beauty the rose and in ma
jesty the lily at her side.
A smile illuminated her glorious coun-
tenance.

Her voice was mellihuously thrilling.

He would have fallen on his knees but
for her sudden gesture of depreciation.

proceeded kindly, "to tell you something
which you ought to know"
"Speak." he cried, "and confirm my
happiness or seal my DOOM"
She sighed gently.

A look of profound pity invested hel

her before she fitted back to the ball

Marriage Among the wends.

A parlor talk recently on the Wends,
who, it seems, were originally Slavs, but
conquered 400 years ago by the Teutons,
and therefore ancient dependents of Ger
many, reveals the fact that some curious
customs originated with these little known
folk. 1t was always leap year, in limited
principle, at least, with these people, for
the maids selected their husbands Then
the mans mother took hand in the trans
action, declining or accepting, as she
thought best. If the marriage took place
the groom donned a green velvet jacket
with heart embroidered in gold thread on
its sleeve; hence the expression to wear
ones heart on ones sleeve. At the end Of
six months the young husband resumed
his usual garb. While he was thus pub
fishing abroad his joy his bride was in
black over her sorrow at having left the
home roof.
1t is probable the Wends did not dis
cuss rs Marriage a Failurei" With the
husband willing to proclaim his joyful
captivity to the world for half a year and
the wife approaching that to leave the
parent nest was a critical step, the matri-
monial conditions must have been of the
best.-Her Point Of View in New York
Times

One day the children heard scream

Tuned Il for Nvagner,s Music.

"Bil," said the pisno merchant to the
man who swept the office, Il want you
TO go down the street and tune piano
for family. They're in great hurry
or wouldn't ask you to do it, but the
regular tuner has gone for the day"
II can't tune pianos, replied the man.
"Oh, yes, you cam" said the dealer
cheerfully. "Just open the lid and you'll
see lot Of keys. Give EN- few twists
so as to tighten the wires, thump on the
keyboard like crazy man for fifteen
minutes, charge them four dollars and
then come back in time to put the coal

her fiance:

He Cut the Rome.

The architect Viollet-le-Duc was one
day on the Schwarzenberg glacier, at a
height of about 1900 feet, accompanied
by Baptiste, the guide, who marched in
front. The two men were attached to
each other by rope, as is usual in AL
pine mountaineering.
The guide had passed over a crevasse,
but when NJ. Viollet-le-Duc attempted
to cross it he failed and fell into the
abyss. The guide tried to pull him out,
but instead he found himself gradually
descending.
The architect perceived that his com
panion, if he persisted in the attempt to
save him, would surely share his fate,
and he asked if Baptiste had family.
"A wife and children" was the an
swer.
"Then," said Viollet-le-Duc quietly,
81 shall cut the rope"
He did so and fell, but block of ice
thirty feet lower down stopped his de-
scent. When Baptiste saw this, and that
for time the danger was lessened, he
went in search of help and returned with
four stout peasants. Three hours after
ward Viollet-le-Duc was extricated.
In spite of his perilous position, the
ruling passion was strong with the art
list, for, although he was almost covered
with icicles from the dripping water, he
had contrived to make drawings of the
novel effects he was able to PERCEIVE

Afternoon Tea.


There's rumble of coaches outside, and
stir
OF damsels half smothered in velvet and fur,
All blooming aud dimpled, some gentle, some
proud,
A light hearted, happy, insouciante crowd,
Who flock up the otairs, now by two, now by
three,
To Join in the revel Of afternoon tea.
Through the mellowine dusk Of the candle
lit room
A faint scent drifts out as of roses in bloom,
A clinking of china, a snatch of song
Caught up by a fiddle and fioated along;
A current of chatter for fashions decree
Keeps tongues on the wag at an afternoon
tea
With testing and laughter they come and
they go,
A fippant procession Of beauty and beau;
Their iests and their gossip enliven the air
SO empty of earnest, so needless of care,
That all the gay spirits among them agree
The more make the merrier afternoon tea.
But am far wiser than they, for feel
That a coy wood fire stirred up TO reveal
Two chairs and q table drawn into the glow,
And Polly TO pour out the fragrant Pekoe,
The pink cup for her and the white one for
me,
u the only real way to take afternoon teal

Peter Cooper,s Earthly Reward.

New Workers need not be reminded of
what they owe to good old Peter Cooper,
who began life in earnest when boy in
a hat factory, and who died lamented
blythe thousands whom his earnest, char
liable life had blessed. 1t might be said
that Peter Cooper made his money solely
for the good he could do with it. At all
events he lived to a great age and saw
the practical benefits that arose from his
well directed efforts. To have died know
ing that whole city was in mourning
and that a great nation was sounding
his praises was in itself a reward for
money rightly spent and time consumed.

the financial burden of an army and

Beautiful, blowy, snowy snow,
Why sloshest thou along the galef
Art thou ghost Of the driving rain
Or q specter Of the hail7
Art thou a sister to the air,
Or to the raging blizzard
That scotch forty miles an hour
And freezeth ones very gizzard2

He glorieth in thy bridal wreath;
The while he doeth the best he can,
With frozen ink and chattering teeth.
All, why not come in summer time,
When peoples threats are dry as chips,
Bearing a cool, refreshing ball
OF snow to well parched lips?
