Language.

A clothing dealer, in Boston, adj
vertised all-wool pantaloons for 81,
advising the public to make haste
and secure the great bargain. saying:
"They will not last long" Probably
they would not. Neither will your
health last long il you don't take
care of it. Keep Dr. Pierce's Pleas

indispensable to every family, as
they positively cure biliousness, with
its endless train of distressing all
ments-sick headache, irritability,
constipation, dizziness and indiges-
ton; a marvellous specific for liver

etable compound. They are sugar
coated, the smallest pills made, and
the best, because they do all they
promise. All druggists sell them,
and tie proprietors guarantee them,
and refund the price If they fail.

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with q breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
\ the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful ltried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. / concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
a box of CUTIcURA, a cake of CUuCURA SOAP,
and bottle of CUTICURA REsoLyENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to ;rritate the flesh, and applied
CuTTcURA. noticed change for the better In
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. gave the child only few doses Of
the CUTIcURA REsoLyENr. consider your
CUTIcURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
TO keep small supply constantly on hand. 1
believe CUTIcURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying In

How TO TELL MUsHRooMs.-The fol-
lowing hints how to distinguish eatable
mushrooms from poisonous fungi can be
taken as quite reliable:
|. Sprinkle little salt on the spongy
part or eills of the sample to be tried.
Ifthey turn yellow they are poisonous,
if black they are wholesome. Allow
the salt to act before you decide the
question. 1t will require several min
utes.
,. False mushrooms have warty
cap, or else fragments of membrane ad-
herring to the upper surface they are
heavy. and emerge from vulva or bag;
they grow up in tufts or clusters in
woods, and Oh stumps of trees. Mush'
rooms grow in pastures.
5. False mushrooms have an astrln-
gent, styptic ana disagreeable taste !;
when cut they turn blue they are
moist on the surface, and they are of a
rose or orange color. The gills of the
true mushrooms are of a pinky red !,
changing TO liver color; the flesh is
white. and the stem is white, solid and
cylindrical. The skin can be peeled oil
lust as you would peel a peach. a false
mushroom will not peel.

Back. as from thc Grave.

Twenty-year-old August Nogt left his
home at Williamsburgh, ten days ago,
telling his mother that he was going to
call on relative in the neighborhood.
From time to time during the last three
years he has wandered away from home
He never before, however, stayed away
more than forty-eight hours. When he
went away, week ago last Monday,
he said he would be back at noon.
When night came and he was still alb
sent his parents concluded that he was
on cne of his periodical wanderings.
They became uneasy on Wednesday
morning last In The evening Of that
day Mr.. Nogt read of the finding of the
naked body of a boy in the river at the
South Second street pier.
Mr.. Nogt went to the morgue on
Thursday, and, although the body was
much bloated and hardly recognizable,
there were some marks on the face and
neck which made him believe the body
was that of his son. He went home and
had some members of his family 90 to
the morgue. They positively declared
that the body was August Nogts.
That night there was deep mourning
in the Nogt household. Neighbors
crowded the rooms. Mrs. Nogt was
almost prostrated, and a relative was
in constant attendance on her. The
funeral was set for Friday afternoon.
On the morning Of that day the coffin
containing the body arrived al the
house. After the services Mrs. Nogt
had to be supported to coach, and
when Linden Hill cemetery was reach
ed it was believed she would collapse
before the body was lowered into the
grave.
Mrs. Nogt visited the grave on Mon
day, and on her return in the evening
she and her husband sat in a dimly
lighted front room talking of their
boys death BY and by they heard a
voice in the hall, which caused Nogt TO
say to his wife
''If Gus were alive | would say that
was his voice.
He had hardly said this when there
was knock at the door Mrs. Nogt
Jumped to her feet and turned up the
light
WHO is it, asked Vogt, going over
to the door.
'It's Gus, pop" exclaimed a voice.
"Let me in. Pm back again
The door was opened and there stood
the missing boy, his face beaming with
smiles. Yogt and his wife were too
much surprised to speak. When they
recovered Mrs. Nogt sank on lounge.
Mr.. Nogt pulled the boy into the room
and began to scold him. When he
stopped he took the boy over to the
light and examined him from head to
foot. In the mean time the report that
August had returned from the grave
spread all over the neighborhood, and
within twenty minutes the house wes
crowded. The boy said that when he
left home he went to East New York,
where he tried to get work. He failed,
and then hung around the horse mart
in Broadway and Halsey street until
Monday, when he got tired and decid-
ed TO come home.
The elder Nogt said Tuesday night
that the Hancock Life Insurance Com
pary had paid to the family $3.50. for
which August's life was insured. Yes
terday the family had jollilication
over Aueust's return. The latter is
wondering now how to proceed in
order to have the body he buried in
Linden Hill Cemetery removed.-N. J..
