THE LOCK AND THE KEY.

You can operate a lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
of it. Now, many so-called diseases
are in truth only forms of one dis
ease, branches of one tree, as we
may say. For example, if we can
nourish the body and enrich the
blood we speedily get rid of many of
our troubles, such us Anemia, Few
ers, Rheumatism, Scrofula and Blood
Disorders, ricketts, in children, and
so on,-all proofs that the body
lacks vitality and force. Nothing
is so useful as body-builder as Cod
Liver Oil, but alas, how many are
nauseated and upset at the very
thought of it. In WdmpoIe's
Preparation, made from Fresh
Livors, however, we have the rose
without the thorn; the valuable
drug minus its vile taste.
Add to this the Hypophosphites, for
making bone, and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry for equally excellent
purposes, and we have remedy indeed.
One as pleasing to the palate and stom-
ach as it Is potent and successful in ban-
ishing disease in old young, and
you will agree with what we say about
1t, as our claims are supported by results.
Genuine has trade mark. All druggists.

A NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE.
Chinese Fisherman Who Was Rccklessly
Extravagant with Natural Wealth.

Chinese Fisherman Who Was Rccklessly
Extravagant with Natural Wealth.
Odd inhabitants are to be found all
over California. Sometimes there is n
good reason for them being odd, but
often it is the result of some crank
idea. On the beach near Cypress Point,
in Monterey county, there is one that
cannot come under the first head, and
hardly under the last.
The residences belongs to a Chinese
fisherman, and is part natural and part
the work OF his own hands. The natural
portion of the house is a small cave in
one of the many rocks that stick up all
over the beach. The other part is a sort
of wooden shed which has been built
in front of this opening. The lumber
used is of the toughest kind, but the
aesthetic Chinaman overcame this OBJ
lection by covering the whole outside
with abalone shells, the hollow side be-
! ing turned out.
Tie Chinaman evidently did that
many years ago, when the shells were
plentiful and had scarcely any market
value, Every shell used has been de-
stroycd, as one or more nails have been
driven through them, according to
size. Some of the shells are magnifi-
cent in color and enormous in size.
| There is one at least Is inches in diam
eter, and duplicate could not be bought
in San Francisco for any price. Most
of the larger shells, if they were not
punctured with nail holes, would readi-
ly sell for from 50 TO SIS apiece. But that
size cannot be had in the market now,
and would be difficult to find on the
rocks of any part of the coast.
The general effect of the house, when
the sun strikes it at the proper angle, is
dazzling. The polished, pearly surfaces
sparkle with astonishing brilliaucy and
fash with all the eolors of the rainbow.
1t is pleasing aud surprising sight and
the only pity is that so many beautiful
shells were destroyed to produce it,

So in them days it came to passion
a Saturday and late along in the shank
of the evenin--that Blev and Andy and
the deacon all met up together on the
road from town. The weather hit was
Jest simply amphibious, as Andy tells
it, with the flowers bloomin and the
birds singin and the sun shinin and the
bees hummin.

says Blew as they rid on together, "by

would throw down the CARDS and quit

and foolin and futterin around the
edges and go on and marry the wilder,
and let the agony blow over?"
"Them's my sentiments, deacon,
put in the great horse tradeE. eff o

body ought to pull his shoes off and turn
him out for crow bait"
"Well, now, boys" says the deacon

Whenever two white men by the
name OF Andy Lucas and Blev Scrog-
gins shake hands and lock arms and
put their heads together to "maltc the
time pass pleasant" rs they are wont
to say, somethin is more than probable
10 drap, and somebody will have to
suffer.
Consequentially Deacon Joiner is
now "off of his feet" and dead on his
legs" and laid up for repairs. Blev and
Andy they throwed out n trot line for
the deacon. They baited the hook with
love and moonshine and foolishness,
and the deacon he bit like a natural
born sucker. Then the boys they cut
the strings and let that poor old man
float off, hopeless and helpless, down
the shaggy fork of Salt river.
Year before last . buXom, fine-lookin
wilder by the name of Misses Logan
moved into the settlement from some
where's down in the stump hills. You

peace on Earth"


1t aint for me to say for certain
whether they have got any religion to
speak of down at old Flat Rock church.
But from general appearments it would
raley seem TO me as If they must have
a monstrous strange and sorry and Pc
curious article of it.
Last Sunday was n week ago they
put in, they did, and had the most
Scandalatious church rumpus down
there that has ever come TO pass in all
this skirt of the woods. 1t looks like
they have had two wings to that church
for the longest-the Tomlin wing and
The Skinner wing. The Tomlins they
wanted to do the floppin, and likewise
also the SINNERS. 1t was pull Dick,
pull devil, who should and who shouldn't
as between the two wings, and conse-
quently it was mighty scarce ind sell
dom that they would flop together
peaceful and unanimous in the kindred
ties OF church fellowship, as it were.
For tNo years past every time | had
went Gown into the Flat Rock neighbor-
hood seems to me like could see thin
skim of smoke on the air and smell
somethin burnin as from afar off. But
last Sunday the fire broke out and bust
loose right, and Flat Rock church went
to pieces in the general smashup and
confusionment
Now you mought not believe it If
] didn't tell you so, but the one little
thing which brung on that tremendous
church rucus was a motto with the
words-"Peace on Earth" The women
folks had went to work and got up a
glorious big Sunday school celebration
The church was trimmed up rich and
promiscus from floor to Tafters with
flowers that bloom in the spring. Man,
flowers everywhere, and that dear old
meetin house was a delightful sight
to see. But in the general hXments you
could shet one eye and sec where the
two wings of the chtEch-the Tomlin
wing and the Skinner wing-had tried
their level blamdest to see which could
flop tho hardest and fly the highest.
Presently covey of girls all dressed in
white came in bearin the big banner,
with the words-"Peace on Earth
Sister Tomlin riz up and said they
would hang the banner on the left hand
wall But Sister Skinner lowed they
would do nothin of the sort-thcy would
hang it up on the right hand wall. Well,
sir, from that the two wings got to
lloppin fast and furious-one on the
right side and one on the left. They
rot madden and madden and hotter and
hotter, till finally at last the whole
shootin match went into rough and
tumble fight to settle the question as to
which was which and who was who.
or course It was a plum scandalation on
the country for miles around, and l
wouldn't tell it if l didn't know the
news would leak out somewhcres else,
but bless gracious in the general scrap
and scramble they pulled and snatched
and ripped and tore till they made doll
rags and strings out Of that glorious
banner, with the motto and the words
Peace on Earth"

The Storm Broke LOOSE.

On their return back home from
town that night Blew and Andy come by
our house to let me know that the 'old
hen was on, with a full settin of eggs
and every egg full of devilment," and
she was more than probable to come of
the next day.
SO, consequentially, it want no ways
surprisin to me when Deacon Joiner
rid by the next mornin, dressed in an
iuch of his life and headed for the Wild
DER Logan's. The deacon had on his
"double-action Winchester" coat, as
Aunt Nancy Newton would call it, and
cinnamon drops on his hair till blamed
if you couldn't smell him comm for
300 yards.
Deacon Joiner he rid on up there to
the Logan place. lie hitchcd his mule
at the horse rack. He went bustlin into
the house. He saw the wilder lie
caught her. He helt her. lie kissed.
Then the storm broke loose. Every
thing that goes up must come down.
The wilder, she screamed. She tainted.
She fell down in it, Then the Logan
boys come into the game. They saw the
deacon. He had lost his nerve and was
burnin the wind for the horse rack
They went out after him. They caught
him.
No, we didn't have no first-class
funeral pursuant to adjournment. But
when them Logan boys got through
with Deacon Joiner and left him out
there in the big road, me and Blew and
Andy had to hook up one-horse wagon
and 60 and pick him up. tender like and
gentle and haul him back home. The
wilder she has now went and got a
warrant out against Deacon Joiner
for assault with intent 10 murder. And
the deacon says, by all that's good and
bad, if he ever lives 10 git up from thel,
he will be forever done with at least te,
men aud all the women in creation.
