Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofuia Sores.
Sat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, / began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also took Hoods
Sarsaparilia, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 8. s. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

Wrong Conclusion.

The Canadian Gazette tells an anus ing story of one who was too quick at drawing an inference. It happened that Glasgow professor who was visiting Canada with tho British association in 1884 was desirous of seeing something of northwestern life, and for this pur- pose repaired to an Alberta ranch.
 l fixed him up as well as I could, the raneher says, but he complained that he did not like sleeping with his clothes on. So alter the first night I stretched a cowskin across the shack and told him he might undress if he liked. He took off most of his garments and put on long white nightdress. h the morning my foreman came in while the gentleman was still sleeping. Observ- Ing the white nightdress, he said in a whisper:
 Rather sudden, oh?'' .s- 'ttNhat?" asked.
 "The death of the old man. |"
 He's not dead; he's asleep, ex plained
 '"Then what's he wearin them billed clothes for2' was the reply. Never saw a chap laid out ill billed clothes afore 'cept he were dead.

The Search For Truth.

In the search for truth no aid is so effective as the ever ready spirit of ae. tivity. He who postpones putting what he knows into practice until he knows more will find his journey a long and diseouraging one. Carlyle well says: Conviction, were it never so excellent, is worthless till it converts itself into conduct. Nay, properly conviction is not possible till then, inasmuch as all speculation is by nature endless and formless. Most true is it, as a wise man teaches us, that, Doubt of any sort can not be removed except by action. On which ground, too, let him who gropes painfully in darkness or uncertain light and prays vehemently that the dawn may ripen into day, lay this other pre-, cept well to heart, which to me was of invaluable service, Do the duty which lies nearest to thee, which thou know est to be duty. The second duty will already have become clearer.

Betrayed by a Flower.

10 She monastery of the Grand Chax- treuse women, as q rule, are inexorably refused admittance, only a very feSy having had the privilege of seeing the Carthusians (monks of the order) at home. A story is told of a French daughter of Eve, blessed with even a greater share of curiosity than that pos sessed by the generality of her sex, who, having heard from her husband and brother of their late interesting Vlslt to the monastery, tried by every means in her power to effect an entrance there, but all to no avail. Determined. however, by hook or crook, to succeed. she at last hit upon the happy idea of presenting herself there dressed as a man, managing to persuade her husband to allow her to do so, and to take her with him un his next visit.
 On arriving at the gates of the mon astery she entered unchallenged with the remainder of the party, but while in the garden the conducting monk. leaving her side, gathered an exqnisite rose, which he brought and presented to her with courtly bow, proving that ne at least was not deceived by her dis. gulse. She, too, foolishly betrayed her self by her ready grace and charm of manner In accepting the rose, which she did most willingly. Needless to say that after this incident she never pene- trafed lnte lie interior of the building nor saw what she was dying to see, but retnrnod unsatisfied, sadder and a wiser woman. with high appreciation, however, of the keen discernment of the cloistered ones.

After Reaching 40 They Usually Retire

After Reaching 40 They Usually Retire
 or Enter Another Occupation.
 'sDid you ever notice, said veteran tonsorial artist, who had shaved New Haveners since 1878, to a New Haven Register man, that you only see few old barbers?''
 Why is it?''
 sThere are a good many reasons, |" answered the veteran knight of the blade II suppose the chief one is that q barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 40 years old and he has to give up. A good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers throats. Still, I will say that in all my experience of 37 years never saw a man badly cut by barber, not even by an accident for which the barber was not responsible. "
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?"
 "Oh, some of them go to the poor house, he replied, with a twinkle in his eye, land some of them, who have saved their wages, buy little places and live on them, perhaps running farm. Some of them, of course, go into other business, perhaps bookselling or else be- come insurance agents. have heard of barbers wh& gave up the business ana became butdasSrs. This isn t such wi6a difference feUm their former business (what are yse1 laughing atD as 1t might seem. No, son't mean that they leasn to carve psssle or even to skin them ia the barber sszsiness, but they learn hoR to handle a blade slzillfully and they make first class meat cutters "

Enormous lifting Power.

The shelless limpet pulls 1884 times its own weight when in the air and about double when measured ill the wa ter. Pleas pull 1, 493 times their own dead weight. The Mediterranean cookie, Venus verrucosa. can exert pulling power equal to 2,071 times the weight of its own body. So great is the power possessed by the oyster that to open it a force equal to 1,3195 5 times the weight of its shelless body is required. If the human being possessed strength as great in proportion as that of these shellffsh, the average man would be able to lift the enormous weight of 2,076, GOO pounds, pulling in the same degree as the limpet. And if the man pulled in the same proportionate degree as the cookie he would sustain q weight of no less than 3, 106, 500 pounds.--Worthing- ton's Magazine
