Better Than Wealth.

It is a laudable ambition which
prompts any person to earn and to save
a portion of the earnings. The founda.
tions Of most if not all of the colossal
fortunes of the rich people in the world
had their beginning in that way. But
there are better things in the world than
wealth. Good health is one of them.
We are quite apt to envy the possessor
of great wealth, but far more is to be
envied the man or woman with robust
health, unwavering courage and the
disposition to 60 through life with q
song and a smile. The happiest people
in the world are those who work and
work cheerfully. Housewife.

THE CONTEMPORARY sulTOR.

Time was that Strephon, when he found
A Chloe to his mind,
Sought not how Dun reported her,
Nor Jagged while time distorted her,
But rushed right in and courted her
Is nature had designed.
It's different now. My Lucy, there,
How gladly would I WOO,
But shapes Of such monstrosity
Confront with such ferocity
My im~pecuniosity-
What is a man to doe
Strephon and Chloe i,.i a hut,
And, though about the door
The wolf might raise lis serenade,
No latter day menagerie bayed
Its warming grim to man and maid,
"Wed not if ye are poor!"
But I-what monsters must l face
When l for Lucy sue
What landlords roaring for their rent,
What troops of duns by grocers sent,
And shapes of want and discomfort
Calamitous to view!
Stay, Lucy, stay! I'm bold and stout.
I'll rout the grisly crew.
Be constant, love, and hope and wait,
And by the time you're thirty-eight
may perhaps have conquered fate,
And when I've won the right to mate,
If you're not too much out of date,
I'll surely mate with you!

of all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. And consumption
can be cured. Doctors used to say that il
was incurable but the doctors were merely
mistaken. 1t would be strange if medical
science did not make some progress. Many
things were once considered impossible.
The ocean steamer, the locomotive, the
telegraph and telephone, the photograph,
the electric light-all these were once i'm
possible, and once IL was impossible to cure
consumption. That was before the time
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
Taken according to directions, this standard
remedy will cure % per cent. of all cases of
consumption. Consumption is a disease of
the blood. II used TO be considered dis
ease by itself II is not. II is caused and
fostered by impurity in the blood. Purify
the blood and restore the healthy action to
the various organs of the body and con-
sumption will be cured. II is by weakness
and loss of vitality in the blood. II is cured
by purity and richness of the blood-surely,
certainly cured. Those who have consump-
ton or any lingering bronchial, throat or
lung disease, and those who are on the road
to them, have a positive remedy at hand.
Any condition of the body that indicates
weakness, any indication of impurity in the
blood, should b. attended to at once Loss
of appetite, loss of flesh, loss Of vitality,
nervousness, weakness and unnatural wear
mess, are indications that the body is run
ming down. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes the appetite good, the di-
gestion strong. II builds up solid healthy
flesh and vigorous strength Thousands of
people have testified that il has really saved
their lives. Some of these testimonials,
together with hundreds of things that cv-
erybody ought to know about health and
sickness and medicine have been embod-

Every cheap money experiment evu
tried in this or in any country has dem.
onstrated that, while prices RESPOND
quickly to changes in the value of
money, wages respond but slowly
Hence, though wages appear to rise
when money is deprcciating, they are IN
reality falling. The difference in rapid
ity with which wages and prices go III
has been illustrated by prices going up
in elevators while wages walk up the
