Fads in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and "new thing"
frequently sells for short time SIM
ply because it is new. But in med
icine, as in nothing else, the people
demand and will be satisfied only
with positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has
stood it's ground against all competi
ton, and it's sales have never warer-
ed but have remained steadily at the
top, demonstrates, beyond any doubt,
the intrinsic virtues of this medicine.
The new things have come and gone
but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon
the solid foundation of absolute mer-
it and it's power to cure, and its sales
continue to be the largest in the
world. 5l

milk aud smoke house by fire.
But few things were saved
from the house. Mr.. Shealy was
not at home nor was any of his
family. The loss is certainly heavy
one, as Mr.. Shealy is poor, hard
working man and he had one of the
best dwellings in that section. I do
not think that there was any insur-
ance on the building. His loss will
foot up something like $1,000 or
$4,000. We greatly sympathise with
him and his family in their great loss.
I had the pleasure Of meeting Miss
Nina Henry, of the Fork side of the
river, who is teaching school at the
Caney Branch school. Miss Nina is
a fine scholar and the trustees GER

What to Teach Girls.

Give your girls thorough educa-
ton not only in the schools, but IN
the home; in work as we'll as in books.
Teach them to cook and prepare
food for the household, and food
which will not give them the dyspep'
sia and ruin the health of those who
eat it.
Teach them to wash, to iron, to darn
stockings, to sew on buttons, and to
cut and make their own dresses, and
not have them so tight that they can
not draw a natural breath if it was
to save their souls.
Teach them to spend within their
income; to keep their accounts, to
know where their money goes, and to
have something to show for it.
Teach them to wear calico dress
that is paid for, with more comfort

Three Blessings.

An old clergyman, who formally
lived in New Hampshire town, was
remarkable for his eccentric modes
of speech. His way of asking a
blessing was so peculiar as to some
times affect the risibiles of his guests
although apparently he was entirely
unconscious of the fact.
When he seated himself at the
breakfast table, and saw spread upon
it meal greatly to his liking, be said,
Lord, we thank thee for this excel
lent breakfast of which we are to
partake."
A more simple meal, but one which
he regarded as comparatively salts
factory, would cause him to say,
sLord, We thank thee for this good
breakfast set before US"
But, when the ministers eye
roamed over the table and saw moth
ing which was especially to his taste,
although the tone in which be uttered
his petition was not lacking in fervor,
his sentiments were clearly to be dis
covered.
'Lord," be invariably said on these
occasions, 's6ll our hearts with thank
fulness, we beseech thee, for this
meal set before US; for with thee all
things are possible"

American Eumor.

The disposition Of Americans to
exaggerate is especially prominent
in what is known as American humor.
A story associated with picket firing,
during the civil war, brings out this
feature of national character:
One day there was atruce between
the two hostile picket lines:
'sHo, Yank!' called out lank Mis-
sissippian, who had just been posted,
'scan you fellows shoot?"
"Wal, Johnny, guess we car,
some! Can your"
Shoot" shouted back the Confed-
crate. "Why, down in Mississippi
we knock humble bee off a thistle
bow at 800 yards"
20, that's nothing to the way we
shoot up in Vermont. I belonged to
company up there Of 100 men, and
every week we used to 80 out to prac-
tice. The cap'n would draw US up IN
single file, and set cider barrel roll
in down the hill. Each man took q
shot at the bung hole as it turned
up.
The barrel was then examined
and if there was a shot fired that

than silk one for which they are
still owing the merchant.
Teach them how to purchase, and
to see that amount of the bill tallies
with the purchae, and that the goods
are what they bought, and what they
were represented to be.
Teach them that good health and
bright face is better than any cos
metic, and that if they want fair COM
plexions, clear skins and rosy cheeks,
they should avoid tea, coffee, cocoa,
and similar drugs, and should dress
loosely and take out. ofdoor exercise.
Teach them good common sense,
self help, and industry, which will
make them independent and useful.
Teach them that marrying a man
without principle, conscience or reli.
gion is like putting to sea without a
compass or chart or rudder.
Teach them, if you can afford it,
music, painting and other accom-
plishments, but insist on certain
amount of good reading daily. In
reading good books there is educa-
lion, development and often solace
and comfort for weary, lonely hours.
The woman who does not read will
be likely to CAB and gossip and make
mischief everywhere. Teach girls to
mind their own business, and to
avoid gossipipg as they would an in
fectious disease. A gossip has a
perverted mind and an empty head.
Finally, teach them that matrimon-
ial happiness depends, not on wealth
nor on appearance, but on good
health, good manners, good princi-
pies and personal character.
