The British Yardstick.

A writer in the New York Mercury
very happily illustrates our relations
with England under the gold standard
The demonstration of silver causes
our producers to pay SO per cent of the
value of their products as tribute to
the British. Our producers may be
likened to the manufacturer who sells
his products at 81 a yard, using his
customers yardstick. instead of his
own.
In 1873 John Bull said to himself:
81 will make my yardstick longer.
My American debtor is such fool that
he will not know the difference"
So silver was demonetized, and the
golden yardsticlS began to grow at the
rate of two inches year, and the fool
ish American producer continues to
use the British yardstick, which is now
more than six feet long. He sees his
products going out of his hands at the
rate of six feet for every yard sold. and
yet he does not clearly understand how
he has been swindled. His dollar has
doubled in value. 1t measures two
bushels of wheat, instead of one, and
two bales of cotton, instead of one,
which the old bimetallic dollar meas
ured.
This is the way the British yardstick
works, and it is no wonder that John
Bull regards US with broad grin of
derision. He can we'll say with Puck
"What fools these mortals be.'-At-
ldnta Constitution.

Climatic Influence on Health.

1t cannot be denied that the INFLUENCE
of the climate upon health is great, and
it is in recognition of this fact that ply
sicians send patients suffering with pull
monary diseases to great distances for
change of air." But when the suffeye T
happens to be too poor to act upon the
advice Lis lot is hard indeed. But it is
not necessarily hopeless. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery can be had at
any medicine store, and to it thousands
whose cases were considered desperate
owe their lives.
Up to certain point in the progress
of Consumption, DR.. Plerce's Golden
Medical Discovery is positive remedy.
But delay is dangerous with Consump-
ton. In all the conditions that lead to
it, the Discovery is the remedy. With
severe lingering Coughs or Weak Lungs,
nothing acts so prompts. Every disease
that can be reached through the blood
yields to this medicine. The Scrofulous
affections of the lungs that's called Con-
sumption is one of them. For this, and
for every other form of scrofula, for all
blood and disorders, and chronic
Bronchial, Throat, and Lung affections
the Discovery" is the only remedy sc
certain that it can be guaranteed. If il
ever fails to banefit or cure, you have
your money back.
Can anything else be ''just as good
for you to buy?
Don't you believe it.

The cure lies in purer, richer blood
and better fed nervous tissues. Paine's
celery compound stirs the excretive Or
gans, the liver and kidneys, to stronger
action; the blood grows at once purer
and redder and more capable of carrying
nutriment and oxygen to every nerve
and muscular fibre of the body.
Paine's celery compound makes peo-
pie well by building up new tissues in
place of the old; regulating shaky
nerves by appropriate nerve food and
sending a strong, full tide of pure blood
through the diseased parts of the liver,
heart, stomach and kidneys.
To worried women, just as to business
men staggering under financial adver-
sity, comes nervousness and final break
ing down. 81 am not i'll enough to take
medicine" she too often says, and puts
off from day to day the correction of her
trouble.
Paine's celery compound is the great
spring medicine. 1t cures every form of
nervous weakness and the special disor
ders of liver, heart, stomach and kid
neys that arise from impure blood and a
run down. system badly nourished.
These are the difficulties that Paine's
celery compound corrects. 1t builds up
the whole body, blood, nerves and It's

equaled. People get well who thor

DANCING AT THE AGE OF 1O4.

There is living at present in the vii
lage of Urussofka, in the Russian gov
eminent of Tula, a hard working and in
dustrious peasant family, the head of
which is 104 years of age, and was for
merly body servant to Prince Schak-
ofskoi. There are nine sons whose ages
range from fifty to eighty years. Two
of them performed the long military SER
vice of twenty-five years under Gar
Nicholas. The father is still compare
lively as active as his younger sons of
fifty and sixty years, and takes his full
and equal share of the field and the
farm work. No member of the family
is total abstainer, but father and sons
have always led temperate and frugal
life. The patriarch himself, in his gay
moods, is still accustomed to execute
with astonishing nerve and agility some
of the favorite National danees-dances
which always require a suppleness of
limb in the dancer. The villagers invar-
iably consult the old man in their troub-
les.-London Daily News.
