A RUM0R SETTLED.
SOME SIID That IT conn NOT
BE DONE.


A rumor had gained circulation that the
%well-known Edward r Feron, Esq, of 507
East 81 ST., New York City, was utterly
broken down in health, had become unable
to attend to his duties and was really in a
condition beyond cure.
over twenty doctors had examined and
treated his case, and all were forced to give
up and acknowledge that his case was be.
yond their skill.
Then the remark was made that here was
a test case for the great and popular medi-
cine, DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t is, of course, a widely known
fact that this wonderful remedy rarely If
ever fails to cure, but could even its mar
velous curative powers restore health in
this most serious case?
The Nervura was used, and everybody
watched its effects with deep interest and
almost breathless anxiety.
We will give Mr.. Feron's own version of
the affair:
For five years. he said, 81 have been
running down, gradually losing my health
and strength; at last | got very bad and
was trouble with pains in my back and
around my heart.

Girls and Spending Money.

The girl who is earning her money
by working says with a sigh, when she
buys a hat that is too extravagant or a
box of sweets that she doesn't need,
- Well, | worked hard enough for this
money, | may spend it as | please"
writes Ruth Ashmore in a pleasant ar
ticle on Girls and the Use of Money"
in the September Ladies' Home Jour
nal. That sounds reasonable, but she
ought to want to spend it in the right
way. She ought to think of the days
when possibly sickness will come-then
does she want to feel sure that she
hasn't a dollar in the world and that
she is being taken care of by people on
whom she has no claim? Or will there
come a day when everybody else is &C
ing for an outing; will she have to de-
cline because she hasn't saved any
money? | know she has earned it; |
know the fine hat, or the fine gown
may be very tempting-but the mere
fact that she has given her strength
and her nervous force to get this money,
should make her cautious in taking
care of it. "Shall l be mean?" asks a
sensitive girl. No, my dear, but | tell
you it is Just as well to remember the
old proverb about being just before you
are generous. There is no generosity
in contributing to a floral piece for
some comrade and owing a bill to your
washerwoman; there is 20 generosity
in treating all the girls you know to ice
cream and having to catch cold because
you haven't a thick flannel petticoat on,
the reason being that you have no
money to buy one. The girl who is
talked of as generous with money, is,
l am sorry to say, too often very foolish
with it. She is ready, when she has
it, to lend it to whoever asks her, to
give to whatever is going on, and when
it is gone she either suffers from its
loss in modification and tears, or else
she becomes a borrower. The wise
girl is the one who tempers generosity
with sense.

Picking Peaches.

USE only ripe perfect fruit, discard
ing all else. Weigh after peeling, AID
for each ten pounds of peaches take a
quart of vinegar, four and a half pounds
of sugar, and as much mace, cloves and
cinnamon, or whatever spice is pre-
ferred, as will give the desired flavor.
Lay the peeled peaches upon the sugar
for an hour, then drain off the syrup
thus formed, and add a cupful of water.
Bring this to a boil and skim as long as
any skum rises; then put in the
peaches, boil for five minutes, and lay
them upon fiat dishes to cool. When
cool, put them into jars. In the mean
time, add the vinegar and spices to the
syrup, boil gently for fifteen minutes,
and then pour it over the fruit in the
jars. Protect from the atmosphere in
any approved N
THE course of procedure with the
unpeeled fruit is quite different in
some respects. The peaches should
not be 100 ripe, but they must be fair
aud without blemish, in order to give
satisfactory results. Seven pounds of
fruit is taken as the unit Of action.
Wipe with a coarse cloth to remove the
down, prick each peach with a fork,
and heat in just enough water to cover
them. When the water has nearly
reached a boil, take out the peaches
and put in three pounds of sugar, boil
ing the syrup thus formed for fifteen
minutes, and skimming it till clear.
Then add three pints Of vinegar and
the spices, which should be placed in a
small, thin muslin bag, and consist of
one tablespoonful each of mace, allspice
and cinnamon stick, with a teaspoonful
each of celery seed and cloves. Boil
al" together for ten minutes, then return
the peaches, and continue the boiling
till the fruit a be pierced with a
straw. Then remove the fruit TO be
cooled ard packed in jars, continue
boiling the syrup till it is of satisfactory
thickness, and pour it over the peaches
while still scalding hot. Cover and
seal III the usual manner.

EAST ToPsHAM CREAMERY.

A brisk drive in the early morning up the
valley four miles brought us to the Tops
ham Creamery. This was opened last No
ve1nber, by a stock company with a capital
OF 5000, nearly all of which is paid in. 1t
is called the Topsham Cooperative Cream
cry Company, and its officers are j. b. Nc
Lam president, j.. X. McLam, secretary,
A. e. NORWOOD treasurer, ard T.. A.
Hood superintendent. Secretary McLam
and Superintendent Hood kindly showed
the newspaper man through the building
and gave him the salient points as TO the
business done. This creamery is equipped
with an Alexandria separator, a Blanchard
churn, a Mason butter-worker and a Bah
cock tester. The power is supplied by a
tw~elVe-horse power engine and fifteen
horse power boiler from the Erie Iron
Works. A majority of the farmers in this
vicinity keep winter diaries, making July
and August the lightest months of the year
at this plant. AT present they are receiv-
ing daily about four thousand pounds of
milk and making two hundred pounds of
butter per day, this being from ffty-ive
farmers and about six hundred cows. For
August the average was five and one-fourth
pounds OF butter to one hundred pounds Of
milk. The butter manufactured here is
shipped to S. X. Dexter, Lowell, Mass, in
one. half pound, five, ten and twenty pound
packages. Here as elsewhere, the farmers
appear to be thoroughly satisfied that the
creamery does better for them than they
could do at home. This was not surprising
when Superintendent Hood stated that the

Douglass evidenced that he can not face
Kansas issues with a pressntsti' = Of
logic or facts; that he depends up, q the
partisan credulity Of his republican au-
diences, and their lack Of any correct
understanding of facts, to sustain him
in his loose statements. Among other
things he said:
"Only last year I read that infamous
book, Seven Conspirscies,' wherein
Abraham Lincoln is held up to con-
demnRtion and the great silent hero Of
Appomatox is denounced as frstricidsl
conspirstor
Douglass did not read this book closely
enough to even give it's title correctly.
A man who can stand before an intelli.
gent audience and so misrepresent the
purport and spirit of a book is not q
very crediteble witness in matters Of
Importance when his self interest is at
stake. To an ambitious, Office seeking,
partisan, cynical reader, who poses as q
leader and sspirsnt for honors in Phar-
soh's camps, like Douglass does, the
"Seven Financial Conspirscies" would
prove pillar of darkness, while to the
people struggling for release from in
dustrisl slavery it is q source Of light.
Douglas grossly misrepressnts the
"Seven Financial Conspirscies." II any
one doubts this let them read the book.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local application, ss they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
oOus lining of the Elstachian tube. When
this tube gets inh4med you have a rum
bling sound Of imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and Ghis tube restored TO its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be restored forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by cstarrh

THE OLD PARTIES PLEDGES.

Not only did the democratic platform
promise the people free silver but in Rd-
dition to that thirty.one states, in their
conventions, adopted free silver plat
forms, and substantially all Of the con-
gressional districts which expressed
themselves on the subject were emphatic
for free coinage. The New York Trib-
une Of June, 81, 1892, refers to this sub
iect in these words:
Behind Cleveland is party which in the
last three years has declared for free silver
in thirty. one state platforms, and in two
congresses has voted for free silver bills
With substantial unsnimity.
One Of these thirty. one states was the
state Of Alabama, which in the state
convention expressed itself unequivo-
cslly for silver.
read from the fourth plank Of the
Alabama state platform Of 1892:
That the democratic party of Alabama ex-
presses it's condemnation of the republican
party Cor their administration Of the
finances Of the country, under which the dc.
msnd of the people for sufficient Oirculst.
ing medium has been ignored, and silver
has been driven from its time hcnOred and
riRhtftil place and uses under the constitu-
tion Of the United States, where it was
maintained 80 long as our party had con-
troll Of the national legislation.
So thoroughly was it understood that
the people throughout the United States
were in favor Of free coinage that the re-
publican party did not dare go into the
canvass without floating free coinags
banners to the breeze. 1t promised the
people all that words could express in
the line of free coinage, but the trouble
with that party was that the people had
learned to put no confidence in their
pledges.
The republican convention seemed to
realize this, and endesvorsd to meet the
exigsncy with an effort to outstrip the
democratic party in fulsome expressions
in favor of silver. Not only; were they
profuse in the extreme in favor Of silver
coinage, but wen so far in
/ and 1888 as to G nde n the policy
of be democratic I'm. .aistrRtion for
what they chose to term "the efforts OF
democracy to demonetize silver"
read from page 10 Of the republican
{ aign book Of 1890:
In Its last national platform the republi-
can party declared this doctrine:
"The republican party is in favor Of the
use of both gold and silver as money, and
condemns the policy of the democratic ad-
ministration in It's efforts to demonetize
silver"
In conformity with this pledge the repub-
loan congress has passed, against the
unanimous opposition Of democratic MEM
bers, a silver bill, than which there has
been no more useful and inspiring act since
the resumption Of specie payments. 1t pro-
Vides, in brief, that the secretary OF the
treasury shall purchase 100000 ounces Of
silver per month, at the market price, and
issue in payment thereof legal sender treas
sury notes, redeemable in coin. This affords
an annual increase in money Of over $50,
100000.
The republican campaign book, same
page, then says:
The democratic Bland act afforded an
annual increase Of $24, ,00O, 900.
The book then goes on to assert that
