Origin of the Word Boycott.

An exchange gives the history Of the
word boycott as follows: "A Captain Boy
colt was the agent of land owner in Ire
land. His policy proved to be distasteful
and offensive to the tenants, and such was
their feeling in the matter that they asked
the landlord to remove him. This was re-
fused, and in retaliation the tenants and
their friends refused to work for or under
Boycott. They would not harvest his
crops, and they made an agreement among
themselves that none of them or theirs
should assist or work for him In the har-
vest. His crops were endangered when re-
lief arrived in the person of Ulstermen,
who, under the protection of troops, har-
vested the crops of Boycott. The defensive
league of the tenantry was much more
powerful and effective than might be
supposed from this instance. The ramifl-
cations Of their compact were very numer-
Gus and extensive. For example, If any
one had dealings with Boycott, or those
who represented him, then no one was to
have any dealings with that person. If q
man worked for Boycott, he was looked
upon by his old friends and neighbors rs a
stranger. No one would sell to or buy of
him; no one was to know him. The effect
of this agreement when carried to this ex-
tent was just what its authors proposed,
and boycotting Immediately became for
chile phrase.

CONCERNING MIRRORS.

An Interesting Japanese Tale Giving an
Account Of Their Invention.
Looking glnsses Of old were highly pol
fshed metal plates. They were small and
provided with handle Grand ladies in
trusted their mirrors to the care Of
female slave, says an italian writer, whose
duty II was to keep them clean and free
from stain or rust and hand them to her
mistresses when they required them.
The Chinese and Japanese formerly used
mirrors made Of Simple metallic plate.
The Japanese had story of the invention
of the mirror. The sun goddess, they
said, once upon a time got into great
rage about something and retired to a
cavern, vowing that she would never come
out again.
AS she was the mother of light her re.
tireinent put the whole world in darkness.
The other gods and goddesses did all they
could in order to persuade her to come out
again and finally Invented mirror which
they placed at the entrance of the cave.
The angry goddess looked at it, and,
seeing, as she thought, another goddess
whose beauty was equal to. her own,
emerged, mad with jealousy, from her re-
treat, and the land was once again illu-
minated by tho light of the sun.
Glass mirrors are supposed to have been
first used in Sidon. Like almost every
thing else, they were very dear for long
time after their Introduction We read in
letter written In 1878 by Colbert to the
Count Auvaux that even If mirrors had
been manufactured in France at that time
nobody but the king would have been rich
enough to buy one.

Rev. John PettingiIi, Pastor Free
will Baptist Church, Rockland,
Maine, Says.

For years was troubled nth most alarm
ing and painful symptoms of dyspepsia, in
digestion, heartburn, headache, and sleep
lessness. During these many years of ST.
1ess / consulted the best of authorities on
the diseases of the digestive organs, spec
ialists of great renown pronouncing my
case hopeless, some asserting that my
stomach was infested with cancers. have
tried countless nambers of SO called medi-
icines that were recommended to me or
otherwise brought to my notice. Like
drowning man catching at straw
of Sarsaparilla and other medicines | saw
advertised In the papers, giving them all
a thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose integ-
rity | could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and l kept growing
steadily worse. l became at last convinced
that the numerous physicians | had con-
suited were right, and that my disease was
indeed incurable. Giving up all hopes,
the only course left for me was to reduce
the pain to a minimum. This was OBJ
tanned by eating as little as would keep
body and soul together, and abstaining
from all substances containing fats, sugar
and starch. Some months since a kind
friend gave me bottle of Red Seal Sar-
saparilla At first I would not take it as
had lost faith in everything, believing
that God alone could bring relief. Being
told, however. that this Sarsaparila was
prepared in peculiar manner of its own
whereby certain injurious principles con-
tanned in most all such preparations were
effectually eliminated, l at last, but still
without much hope, gave it trial.
fervently thank God that in his goodness
be has allowed me to find this precious
medicine. Finding relief with the first
bottle l obtained more, and kept taking it
until today am completely cured and as
well man as ever drew the breath of life.
am convinced of the superiority of the
Red Seal Sarsapsrilla over all others have
tried, and consider it my solemn duty to
tell what have told in the foregoing so
that others like myself suffering from dys-
pepsia or kindred diseases of the digestive
organs may be cured by this wonderful
medicine.
This statement is made of my own free
will and without any solicitation from the
company owning and manufacturing this
Sarsaparilla. REV. JOHN PETTINGILL.

Always accompanies good health, and an
absence OF appetite is an indication of some
thing wrong. The universal testimony given
by those who have used Hoods Sarsaparill'

and as a purifier of the blood, constitutes
the strongest Recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine.
