YOUNG MEN-Who have become victims Of soli-
tary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit,

ands of young men of exalted talent and brilliant
intellect, may call with confidence.

perierce, have discovered the greatest cure known

charges, impotency, general debility, nervousness,
languor, confusion of IDEAS palptaon of the heart,
timidty, trembling, dmness of sight, giddiness,
diseases Of the head throat, nose, skin, affec-
tions of the liver lungs, stomach, or bowels-those
terrible disorders arising from the solitary vice Of
youth-and secret practices, blightng their most
radiant hopes or anticipatons, rendering marriage
impossible Take candid thought before it is
late. A week or month may place your case beyond
the reach of hope. Our method of treatment will

TO mlDOtE-AGEO MEN.-Therc many from
the age of 30 to 60 who troubled with frequent
evacuations of the bladder, often accompanied by a
slight burning smarting sensation weak ening the
system in manner the pat cnt cannot account for.
On examination of the urinary deposits, a ropy
sediment will be found the color will be thin or
milkish hue. There are many men who die of this
difficulty, ignorant of the cause, which is second
stage of seminal weakness. We will guarantee a
perfect cure in all such cases, and healthy
restoration of the gento-urinary organs.

Protection and free trade is the old
war OF the rebellion over again-the
revival of the hatred of the South for
the North. Those people will never
forget nor forgive the fact that their
slaves were freed by the northern army
under Republican President, and every
hour of their lives is devoted to the
planning OF revenges. They hate pro.
lection because by protection the North
has been built up, and is prosperous be-
yond the prosperity of any section on
the face OF the globe. To destroy that
prosperity and drag the North down to
their own level, is the dear wish OF their
existence. They favor the income tax
because the bulk of it will be paid by
Northern citizens. What ever is to the
detriment of the North will always be
favored by the South.-Clermont Courier.

Chinese Soapstone.

A report by the British consul at
Wenchow, China, states that the stea-
tite, or soapstone, industry of that vi
cinity employs about two thousand
miners and carvers. The mines, owned
and operated by twenty or thirty
families, are forty-two miles from
Wenchow. The galleries are driven
into the sides of the hills, often to a
distance of nearly a mile, and require
tim bering on account of the softness
of the clay. The stone is soft when
first extracted, hardening on exposure
to the air. 1t is obtained in great
variety of colors, described as purple,
red, notified red, black, dark blue,
light blue, gray, white, eggshell white,
"jade," "beeswax" and ''frozen"-the
Jade" and frozen" being the most
valuable. Carvers buy che stone at the
mines at about cent pound.

AIAskA.s FISHERIES.
Salmon Furnish the Chief Wealth OF tn,
Far-OH Territory.

Far-OH Territory.
Z In this modern day Of government
schools, ready-made clothing and two
dollars-a-day wages, almost the only
picturesqueness left to native life is
during the salmon runs, says writer
on Alaska in Harper's Weekly. Fam
lilies and tribes betake themselves to
their hereditary fishing grounds to
catch and dry their salmon for winter
use, and isolated summer camps break
the forested shoreline with fine effect
A row of black canoes on the beach, a
cluster of bark or matted tents, with
frames of drying salmon overhanging
the camp fires, are set between some
clear still green water foreground and
an abrupt screen of green est menzie
or merton spruces The racks of fish
give touches of high color to the scene,
as the further north they are caught
the redder the Pacific salmon are; and
in Lynn canal some of these camps
look as If decorated with red bunting.
All is salmon that comes to the Tin
git, and he makes no distinction be-
tween king, red, silver, humpback or
dog salmon, rather preferring, on the

last, which no white man wants; hence
he RACES at the cannery's waste and
the destruction of his chief food sup
ply. Since the corrupting touch of
trade has even reached their salmon
streams, the natives now make perma-
nent summer villages beside the can
neries. The men work for the compa-
ny, and the women and children do a
| little independent fishing, but more
| regularly follow the cannery scows
1 and fill their canoes with rejected salm-
on, as Gamers use only about third
| of all fish seined. Thus, in midsum-
mer, Alaska villages are as empty Of
their first families as any eastern city,
and the tourists see closed houses, and
not third of the regular inhabitants.
Census enumerators work zealously,
but vainly, in attempting to count the
natives when they are scattered in re-
motest hooks all over the archipelago
half of them padding their canoes
from one place to another, and as like
ly to be counted twice as not at all dur

The white mans fisheries are more
prosaic, less fragrant, and never pictur'

AN OLD SWE DISH LEGEND.
The Devil and the Wearied Count-A
Mysterious Gold Chain.

The Devil and the Wearied Count-A
Mysterious Gold Chain.
will repeat one of many legends
told me by a charming Swedish lady
about the family of Count Piper, the
well:known minister of her country to
the court of st. James, says the Ma
tional Review Once upon a time the
head of this house was bored to death
in his splendid castle, and he yawned
his thousandth yawn and said: 81
would had even the devil to play
cards with me-" and at the word Satan
himself appeared in that guise of a
gentleman in which Shelley also knew
him. Oddly enough, the devil lost his
money and. having none in his pock-
cts, for reasons best known to himself,
lie offered the count, in full quittance
of all claims, an apparently golden
chain, remarking incidentally that
whenever that chain was lost or in
jured the castle of the Pipers would in
fallibly he burned.
This unusual announcement aroused
the winners suspicion and, happening
to look under the card table, he beheld
the cloven hoof. Instantly he sprang
to the wall to reach down his sword,
for swords in those days, the date of
which l cannot exactly give, were al
ways ready to the hand. But the devil
was gone and the chain alone re-
mained. On examination it proved to
be long and thin, with innumerable
little links, such chain as old gentle
men used to wear around their necks
for watch chains not SO long ago. An
assay discovered the metal to be some
thing other than gold, but could by no
means determine what it actually was.
An accidental injury to one of the
links, however, caused by the hammer
of the goldsmith, cost the count a
wing of his castle, and second injury
and a temporary loss of the chain hav-
ing resulted in a second and in third
fire, it at once became apparent that
the devil would keep his word. Each
successive head of the Piper family
has worn that chain around his neck
from the day of his accession to the
day of his death, and on the decease OF
the late count, not long ago, it was
carefully and reverently removed from
his body to be passed on to his heir.
