Great Work of Paine's

A Blessing to Every House.
hold in the Land.

If another huge petition, like the
famous one now going round the
world on quite another mission,
we've to be signed by all the men,
women and children who have been
cured of disease or saved from
weak, nervous condition by Paines
celery compound, it would take a
stout conveyance to carry the enor-
nous document from city to city.
Such a growing testimonial would
receive additions from every tiny
village and small town, not to men
ton the cities, on its journey across
the United States.
1t would be signed by thousands
of women no longer tortured by
sleeplessness, pains in the back and
sides, continued headaches, neural
gia, dyspepsia and Bright's disease.
There would be fully as many men
who have been permanently cured of
kidney and liver diseases and rescued
from chronic bad health by means of
this great invigorator.
A vast number of children would
be represented to testify to the abili-
ty of Paine's celery compound to
restore a healthy appetite, to take
away that constant tired feeling and
to purify the blood of harmful
humors.
The number of testimonials for
Paine's celery compound from men
and women of high standingin every
state in the Union that have already
been published, would fill a large
volume. These testimonials have
been written without solicitation.
They have been published verbatim
as they were received.
Necessarily the testimonials that
have publically appeared have been
but one or two, here and there,
taken almost at random from an
enormously large number that every
day and every week steadily increa-
SEES.
Besides, it is to be remembered that
not one 1.-THE of the magnificent
cures fairly due to Paines celery
compound, ever get beyond the
knowledge of the immediate family ;
that in fact, few people have any
appreciation of the number of fami-
lies throughout the United States
where Paines celery compound is
kept constantly on hand and is be-
ing taken or has been taken by some
one of its members.
Paine's celery compound has al
ready done an enormous work. 1t
has saved lives. 1t has saved health
1t has saved homes.
But its work as the greatest nerve
and brain strengthened and restorer
the world has ever known, is only
we'll started.
1t is not beyond the reach of the
most modest household while a
much greater expenditure will pro-
cure nothing else so effective.
Paine's celery compound, the rem
edy that makes people well, is with
in reach of all.

"WHO rs THIS JESUS OF NAzA-
RETH?u

"Who is this Jesus OF Nazareth p"
The Mussulman soldier caught his breath.
And knit his brow like a man oppressed
Whom the soft divan hath brought no rest.
He had come from field of God accursed
He had fought where devils did their worst
The fearful fray he would fain forget
In his soul it's echoes were ringing yet.
"Who is this Jesus OF Nazareth? p
The women all called his name, in death;
And the very children. caught to impale-
Nay mot for woman's ear that tale!
your blood would freeze at it's very fount;
Yet the fire up in your brain would mount,
Till you shrieked at night. when the wind
awoke,
And. shuddering, covered till the morning
broke.
NAY, ask no question / know not why
The women and harmless babes must die.
Twas my chiefs order-mine to obey.
Be it on his head at the Judgment Day!
"Yes-there was one alternative:
Call on our Prophet, and you live!
But every victim, with dying breath,
Called upon Jesus of Nazareth'l
"Who Is this Jesus of Nazareth?
Does he bear the sword that conquers Death !?
Must l meet him there when AZrael calls
My naked soul to the Judgment halls
"Go-ask the Giaours-and tell me true,
Who is this Jesus of Nazareth Who?

Alah's vicegerent-woe is me J"
Jesus of Nazareth Lord of life,
Conqueror of all this worlds mad strife!
Vengeance for blood that cries to thee
Bow the False Prophet on Bonded knee,
Till the Cross shall quench the Crescent's ray
From st. Sophia to the Gates of Day;
And murderous Moslem. with contrte breath
Shall call upon Jesus of Nazareth!
Mrs Cyrus Hamlin, Lexington, Mass.
.Mrs. Knapp, of Bitlis, the nearest mission
airy station to the Sassoun massacre, writes
that one of the Turkish soldiers, troubled in
mind by the memory of those awful scenes,
told his wife to ask the wives of the 'Giaours,"
Gnfidels, unbelievers,) who is 'Hssoos Naz-
aretsee," Jesus of Nazareth. For" said he,
"all the women they slaughtered died calling
on him."

Caller-Don't you find it unpleasant

Vernon (dubiously)-Well, I'd rather
stay in town, but fellow that owns his

Caller-Sorry you bought it, Ell?

A NEW YEARS PRA YER.

dare not ask that pain be spared,
Nor yet too much of Joy be mine,
Nor high estate upon me wait,
Nor that my lot with splendors shine.
/ dare not ask some mighty gift
There are so many men to pray
So many loads for men to bear,
dare not send my load away
Lest he my brother ind my cross
And be compelled to lift its pain.
(For every cross that God sends out
Is carried back to him AGAIN.
But, with the New Year at my door,
Dear God, / ask in mercy's name
No greater grief than that bore
Shall come to scar my heart with flame.
No greater woe, nor deeper pain,
Than that " hich yesterday did greet
No greater length to test my strength,
On Calv'ry's rood with bleeding feet.
Or if some newer, redder wound
Waits gaping like the scar of sin,
oh, with the New Year at my door,
Dear Lord, beg thee, enter in.
Oh, let me feel some stroke of love
Within the hand that WELD the rod,
Some CLEAN Of light across the night
To show me it has come from Cod
And when within that mountains shade
/ blindly grope, yet find Thee not.
oh, send some whisper through the dark
To tell me | am not forgot!

Here is diamond, here piece of char
coal. Both carbon; yet between them
stands the mightiest of magicians-Na-
ture. The food on your table, and your
own body; elementally the same; yet be-
tween the two stands the digestion, the
arbiter of growth or decline, life or DEATH
We cannot make diamond; we cam
not make flesh. blood and bone. No.
But by means of the Shaker Digestive
Cordial we can enable the stomach to di-
gest food which would otherwise ferment
and poison the system. In all forms Of
dyspepsia and incipient consumption
with weakness, loss OF flesh, thin blood,
nervous prostration the Cordial is the
successful remedy. Taken with food it
relieves at once. 1t nourishes and assists
nature to uourish. A trial bottle
enough to show it's merit-10 cents.

With Frost in the Air Golden Brown Ia
the True Autumn Color

With Frost in the Air Golden Brown Ia
the True Autumn Color.
Soft shades of brown always spring
into favor at the first frost; perhaps
because it is harmonious with the fad
ing leaves, and perhaps because there
is so much warmth in the color. A
lovely gown of this color prepared for
a well-known leader of fashion at Bryn
MaYr has the skirt made of a soft can
vas cloth in the most beautiful, warm
shade OF golden brown, over crimson
satin, showing beautifully through the
meshes.
A narrow rope or cord of crimson
velvet outlined every seam of the grace
fully-gored skirt. The bodice had n
body Of golden brown mousseline de
sole, drawn in soft fullness over lining
of the crimson satin, and brought into
q belt of twisted crimson, finished with
knot directly in front.
An odd collarettc of appliqued tan
figures on groundwork of golden
brown mousseline de sole sets over the
bust and the tops Of the sleeves, then
down the front into the belt. 1t is a
most effective finish to the bodice. A
thick ruche of golden brown null sets
off the neck.
The sleeves are narrow-topped leg
o'-muttons, finished in q point at the
hand. Golden brown and white COM
bine daintily. A smart gown with this
combination shows a box-plaited skirt
and box-plaited blouse. The entire
under side of the plaits is of white
taffeta. The effect is wonderfully
pretty when the skirt opens like fan,
revealing the stripes of white. Short
jackets of brown velvet are worn with
tailor-made skirts of q lighter tone of
brown with striking effects.-Chicago

said to be greatly inferior to the

OF late periwinklcs have been offered
for sale in n number of stores patron
lied by the New York colony CT cock

wrinkles sold in New York come from
New Rochelle. An Englishman living
there was in the habit of importing
them for his own use. One consignment
was much larger than he expected or
wanted, and he concluded to try an cX-
pertinent and see if they could be grown
in this country.
He dumped about a bushel in the
sound, and, 10 his surprise and pleas
ure, they seemed to thrive as we'll there
as in t!:cI: rativr English waters. They
multiplied rapidly, and he not only
found it unnecessary to import any
more but had more than he could pos
sibly use. So he has placed them on
sale and is deriving a considerable rev.
enue from them.
