MIR. GLIMMERTON,S EASEMENTS.
Troubled Most Just Now Over 8 whatnot
 In the ParIor

| Troubled Most Just Now Over 8 whatnot In the Parlor.
 "In her latest encouragement of the parlor," said MT. Glimmerton, "my oldest daughter has placed ill front of the whatnot comfortable rocking chair in which have always liked to sit The whatnot is a fimsy structure on legs so slender that they wabble when you look at them. Upon its shelves there are many delicate bottles and jars and vases and things that are always ready to fall off.
 eff were not so eternally kept down, I should be man of cheerful spirits. Even as it is manage to keep my head above the slough Of despond. but I have a pretty hard time of it what with one thing and another, and just now the whatnot ill the parlor is one of my most trying besetments. One cannot sit ill the big chair now without danger of knocking the whatnot over. The first time tried it the chair rocked back and brought up against it. All the bot ties and jars and vases on the shelves nodded violently, many of them beyond recovery, and these went down with that slight but compact crash that thin china makes when it falls.
 ''Then had to keep the whatnot al- ways in mind. If sat in the rocking chair at all, had to sit in it carefully. Once when I had forgotten about the great calamity and had jumped mp rath- CT suddenly the chair rocked back and touched the whatnot again, this time, however, not so hard only few things fell. But now have given up the chair altogether, for with the whatnot at its back it is no longer a comfort to me.
 ''I look at the big chair longingly, and fancy it looks with sympathy at me, and wait with patient cheerful ness for the next new arrangement, when the flimsy whatnot shall be on one side of the room and the comforta- ble rocker on the other. "-New York Sun.

TOO MUCH KNIFE.

The use of the surgeons knife is be- coming so general, resulting fatally
 in such large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. The press a1-
 most daily announces the death of some unfortunate whose system could not withstand the shock of an operation, and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to the keen blade of the surgeon.
 Of course, in some instances an operation is necessary, and is the only means of saving life, but such cases are exceedingly rare. So many deaths occur under these conditions, however, that the public is beginning to realize that the doctors are too nasty in resort ing to the knife, and if such a state of affairs continues, there will before long be a general uprising against such meas ures. It Is but reasonable to believe that the majority of operations are unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake IS discovered too late, only the doctors ever know of their error, and though a precious life is given up, the public is assured that death would have resulted in spite of the operation, and who is ever the wiser?
 The folly Of resorting to the knife in cases of cancer, is demonstrated every time 1t is undertaken. The disease is in the blood and the cancer or sore is but the outward manifestation of a terrible condition of the entire circu1a- ton. To cut out this sore, therefore, does not in any way effect the disease, and it can easily be seen that the only correct treatment Is to get at the seat of the disease, and purify the blood the sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S. is the most powerful blood remedy made, and is the only cure for cancer.

ARcHER's FAvORITE HORSE.
Pathetic Story of the Famous Jockey and
 the SteepIechaser Fatigue.


 Archer, the celebrated jockey, was riding in a steeplechase, his mount being a horse called Fatigue. The man was fond of the horse, which returned his affection with liberal interest. At the last fence the horse fell and broke his 1 leg. Archer, though of course thrown. fell away from the horse, and was not badly hurt. The pathetic scene that fol- lowed is described by Vogue:
 He started away to deliver news of the accident and arrange to have the horse shot, but was stopped by hearing whinny. Poor Fatigue could only lift his head, but he was looking after and calling the rider he loved so we'll. Archer returned to the horse, and sitting down on the turf, took the poor creat- ure's head in his lap, and sent a boy with message for what was necessary. Meanwhile the horse lay still, except for an occasional spasm of pain.
 No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue. A small boy finally volunteered, if no one else would, but he'd "a heap ruther not.'' When the pistol was finally given him his small hands trembled so that Archer took the weapon from him, say ing:
 You're nervous, lad; you'll bungle it. He sha'n't have his pain added to. He'll never know what put him out Of his misery" Addressing the horse, he added, "If I wasn't fond of you I couldn't bring myself to do it; but you sha'n't run risks of being hurt more. ''
 With one hand he caressed the horses head, with the other he put the pistol to the forehead.
 Good by, Fatigue, old chap, good by" and he pulled the trigger.
 Fatigue hardly struggled, but settled down, dead, with his head still on his favorite riders lap; and Archer sat quite still till the last quiver was over, his head bowed, and did not notice that the red was staining his clothes.

Eczema All Her Life.

MT. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga, says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a severe case of Eczema, which the usual mercury and potash remedies failed to relieve. Year by year she was treated with various medicines, external appli- cations and internal remedies, without result. Her suferings were intense, and her condition grew steadily worse.

There Is untold wealth in our products, but the cost of getting them to market is too great and must be reduced if we would de- velop to the full measure our natural resources.

A Royal Quarrel.

Emperor William and Prince Frederick
Leopold of Prussia have had a serious quar-
Sophie while skating, when the princess and
one OF the ladies of the court broke through
the % and came near drowning. 1t appears
that the emperor upbraided the prince for
the indifference OF his treatment of his wife,
and the prince used some pretty rough
words in replying to the kaiser's rebuks.
The emperor thereupon ordered him under
arrest for fourteen days, with confinement
in a room in his castle for that length Of
time. The kaiser immediately telegrapbed
for detachment of the first guards to be-
sent from Potsdam to Glenicke Castle To
guard the prince. aud he has since been
confined there, not being permitted to leave
his chamber upon any pretext.

ciseiy what the words signify. Subscribers
who renew one month, two months, etc,
after the date to which they have paid ex-
pires, will be charged at the $500 rate for
the time they are in arrears. Thus:

months, 81 So; four month $1.67; and so on.
To this rule the publishers must adhere
inflexibly.
The difference is small and unimportant
to the individual subscriber, but to the pnb
fishers it is important, and very large in the
aggregate.
The red label on every paper shows date
of expiration of subscription, which is the
first day of the month
II subscriber desires to discontinue when
paid subscription has expired, timely notice
should be gi zen Without such notice, sub
scription will be considered as continuing.
The great majority of subscribers object
TO having their subscription interrupted
arbitrarily when the period for which they
have paid has expired. The foregoing plan
has been adopted as fair compromise be
tween the advance payment and the credit
systems.
