GRANT AND WASHINGTON.
Cwo Wonderful Serials Which "rhe Ccns
tury Magazine" Has Secured for 1897.

One of the best friends that General Grant
ever had was Horace Porter Their first
meeting was at Chattanooga In the autumn
OF 1868, and soon after General Qhen CaptHin)
Porter became q member of Grants stan and
served with him constantly until Lees sur
render. When Grant became President
Horace Porter was made his private secre-
tary, and until General Grant breathed his
last at Mt. McGTegor the two men were close
friends. Nor did General Porter's love for
his chief cease with death, for TO him is due
the success of tho movement to raise the
half million Of dollars which the Grant
monument in Riverside Park will cost. The
inauguration of the tomb will take place
next spring, on General Grants birthday,
and General Porter will be the orator OF the
occasion.
During these years of intimacy with Grant
General Porter kept a diary and in his mo-
ments OF leisure he has arranged his unique
stores Of anecdote and memoranda into n
series OF twelve articles entitled, Champaign
ing with Grant" and The Century Magazine
has secured all rights in the series and will
print II during the coming year. Since tho
famous "CeEtury War Series," for which
General Grant himself wrote four articles
(ihe beginning of his "Memoirs"), no maga-
zine has had such treat to lay before its
readers.
Another great serial in The Centuryis u
novel Of the American Revolution, written by
the well-known Philadelphia physician, DIR.
s. Weir Mitchell, whose literary reputation is
rs high as his standing in his own profess
sion. The story is supposed TO be the auto
biography Of the hero, "Hugh Wynne, FREQ
Quaker" who becomes an officer on General
Washipgton's staff. Social life in the capi-
tai, Philadelphia. is most Interestingly de-
picted, and the characters In the story in
clude Washington. Franklin aud Laft yette.
The readers OF "Hugh Wynne. Free Quak-
or" will obtain clearer idea of the Revolu-
tionary War than can be had from any other
single source. 1t is believed that DR..
Mitchell has written !the great American
novel" for which We have been waiting so
many years.
These are only two OF the features of The
Century for the coming year-the magazine
that leads the world of periodical literature.
Very few OF our readers will be without it In
1897. Ii costs S40 90 u year--not too nigh a
price for what The Century gives; but many
people are arranging to club together in
groups OF four, paying one dollar each, and
securing the reading of the magazine one
week in the month. The publishers advise
the making up of clubs early. Send S4.00 to
The Century Co., Union Square, New York,
with the name of the person TO whom tho
magazine is to be sent. II you begin your
subscription with the December (Ohristmas)
number, the publishers will send you copy
OF the November number free, in which the
two great serials here described begin.

II Is quite common 10 hear men say: 'Boys
will be boys. They must SOW their Wild onts "
That there is danger to be dreaded from hRv-
ing this old proverb repeated without protest
Is attested by the many human wrecks that
line the pathway OF life, says the Church
News.
A man might as reasonably SOW the seed
of weeds in his field and expect a crop of
corn RS for a boy to "sow wild oats" for a
dozen or more years and hope some day to
wake up q good, trusted and honorable man.
Boys should be taught that Il Is a sin to
"sow wild oats. and that for each seed sown
fearful account must be rendered, II not
here, at lenst hereafter. The soul is like n
snow-white cloth, and is soiled by sin Just as
cloth Is dishgured by dirt. No sensible man
or boy would throw q fine coat on the
ground and expect that 1t would escape per-
manent injury. Yet thousands "sow wild
oats" without realizing what they are doing.
Aside from the blemishes which sin I'm
prints upon the soul the boy should consider
his worldly prospects, aud remember that
every grain OF wild oats" he sows detracts
from his character, and tends to lessen his
chances In the business and professional
world.
A boy without experience may be persuad-
ed that it is an easy thing for him 20 give up
the bad habits he acquires by Sowing wild
oats, but the man OF mature years can give
testimony Of the struggle necessary to get
rid OF single bad habit acquired early in
life, aud which has been noursshed for years.
Our passions will run away with us unless,
like good horsemen, we hold tight rein on
them. When they have the mastery we be-
come slaves OF the meanest kind. II men
would but remember this fact they would
never say a single word whlch h might be con-
strued into an encouragement to the boy to
"sow wild outs" The sowing may be pleas
ant, but the reaping will be anything else,
either to the boy or to his parents. Boys
should never forget that before they can
"sow wild OATS they must cease to love
their parents, and that while they are cast
ing the seed into the ground they are har-
rowing the hearts OF mothers that bore them
aud Of fathers who have laborod to feed,
clothe ana educate them.

John Winter, OF Bell County, Ken.
tucky, last week, while digging a cell
lar at his home, on Elkwell Greek, ex-
cavated a giant mummy. The mummy
was that of a man eight feet high, and
wrapped in q winding cloth of skin 8.
It was placed in canoe-like coffi n,
and crumbled away upon being ex-
posed to the air. At the head of the
giant we're stone hatchet and a few
cooking utensils and q large hollow
stone, which presumably contained
food. At his feet was n skin shield,
which had also crumbled to dust -

THE conr's TEETH.

The teeth OF horse form the sub.
ject of bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station of Vir-
.ginia. 1t concludes with the follow.
ing practical suggestion: "When
young colts are troubled with indiges-
tion, or refuse to suckle, look into the
condition OF their teeth and gums. If
the gums are indamed, swollen and
painful to the touch, have them prop
srly lanced. II at the age of from
two to five years the colt refuses to
eat, wads his hay and lets it drop, or
eats with difficulty, have his teeth ex-
amined and properly treated by COM
petent veterinary surgeon. If the
eyes become weak and inhamed during
dentition, the teeth need the attention
of a veterinary surgeon.
eff the jaws become enlarged, in
nine cases out of ten the teeth need
attention.
''If the horse turns his head to one
side while eating and attempts to chew
his food on one side, his teeth need
attention. Wadding the hay and
dropping it are symptoms of long
tooth, which needs the attention OF a
veterinary dentist. If the horse
gradually loses flesh without any ap-
parent cause, although we'll. cared for,
the teeth ere probably at fault.
''If the horse slobbers while driving
and pulls viciously on the bit, look to
the teeth; many ''pullers" are made
so for the want of proper dental atten-
ton. Carrying the head to one side
while being driven isfrequently symp.
toms of a faulty condition of the
teeth, which is relieved by a few min
utes' work of the veterinary surgeon. "

The iGea of copper.tood shoes was
patented January 8, 1863, by Maine
genius, who made S1OO, 900 out OF IL.
Another similar invention which made
q great deal of money was the metal
fastener for shoes, invented and in
troduced by Heaton, OF Providence,
r. I. At the time IL was considered a
fine invention, for the old sewed but
ton was continually coming off. 1t has
gradually grown in popularity since
its introduction in 1869, until now

TEMPERANCE.


THE TORCH OF TEMPERANCE.
While we sit at home rejoicing
Safe from every storm that blows,
On the street our erring brother
Down the drunkard's pathway goes.
Let us reach our hand TO save him,
Let us be his guide and stay;
Sorely now he needs our friendship
On his dark aud dreary way.
Keep the torch Of temperance burning,
Flash its light upon our foe;
We may save our falling brother
From the drunkard's final woe,
Where the brilliant lights are fiashfnn
In the gay saloon and grand
Stands brother, husband, father.
Needing now our helping hand.
See, the tempter now besets him
With his demons glass OF rum.
Has,en-oh, pray you hasten
Lest he fall before we come.
Keep the torch OF temperance burning.
Flash IFS light upon our foe;
We may save our falling brother
From the druukard's flnal woe.

THE TEMPERANCE CALL.

The call Just sent out from the interna-
tional offices OF the Worlds Women's Chris
ttan Temperance Union to the 10 900 local
unions in the United States is as follows:
My Comrades: The cup OF wrath is full.
In these two terrible years when the massa-
ere of the innocent has gone on under the
eyes of our palalyzed rulers in Christian
lands, we have thought that man alone could
help. But it is women who are dying two
deaths in the bloody East, and we, their
sisters, cannot longer wait. You have nobly
responded to my earlier appeal, and in the
name of Christ and humanity, OF the home
against the harem, earnestly and tenderly
call upon you to organize meetings in every
locality, urging our Government 10 cooper
a.o with England in putting q stop to the
massacres and giving protection henceforth
to Armenian homes. Let these meetings be
addressed by the pastors, the business men
and the most capable women. Let money be
raised by systematic visitation as we'll as by
collection, and forwarded to our National
Treasurer, Mrs. Helen M. Barker, the Wo-
mons Temple. Chicago. And may God deal
with US at last as we deal with our Armenian
brothers and sisters and their little ones in
this hour Of overwhelming calamity.

Her doctor says, cheer up, you have
dyspepsia; you'll be all right soon"
But she doesn't get "all right" She
grows worse day by day, till all at once
she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van

Her doctor, if he knew, should have
told her and cured her, but he did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. BY
chance she came across one of Mrs.
Pinkham's books, and in It she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to a woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
health returned.

As soon as fruit has been gathered
from apple trees which are infested
with the green aphis, the lice can be
destroyed with solution of quassia

trees which are infested should also be
similarly treated.

remove the drinking man from the saloon,
why not also remove the saloon from the
