A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches Of
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer, but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back Is what's wanted.
Cure 1t so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
MIR. II. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: Mrs.
Smith, from a cold which settled in her
loins, suffered so severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the or
binary household duties, often finding it
impossible to even make bed for three
months. had read great many state
merits of residents of Ainesbury who pos
lively declared that Doan Kidney Pills
had cured them of backache and other
symptoms Of kidney complaint. This led
me to make some inquiries, and as a re-
suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course
of the treatment. 1t cured her. 1t is so
long ago that l am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
tunity of advising others who suffer from
either weakened or over-excited kidneys
to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we
know of scores in and around Amesbury
who have taken our advice and were not
only surprised but gratifed at the bene-
fits received"

The crying demand of the times is a
dish that will not fall out of a girls
hands and break. Women who keep
help in their kitchens do not make the
complaint Of broken dishes more often
than the woman whose daughters do
the dishes" AS soon as a man gets a
half dollar saved it has to go for a
meat platter or a pitcher which his
daughter dropped, and there probably
isn't family engaged in housekeeping
that doesn't have to make weekly visits
to queensWare store. In some homes
the daughters are fined for every plate
they break, but the father has to give
them the money to pay back to him in
fines, so that he is always the loser. If
Il man is put In good humor by his din
ner, the crash of china heard from the
kitchen ten minutes later drives his
good nature away.-Atchison Globe.

Comparatively few ministers have an

often account for Tho reluctance of
newspapers TO accept matter contribute

every man ana woman to know the
general plan on which newspaper alti-

cesSful writer in this or any other de-
partment but IT is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator usual
ly reserves his most important points
until toward the end of his discourse,
closing with "a climax; the sllillful
newspaper reporter puts his climax in
TO his first sentence and ends with the
most DOnessential detail. While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping the secret of his story hidden
as long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as words will let him. Both
are working on principles as clearly
defined as that on which a sonnet is
constructed, but the modern newspa-
per article is of so much more recent
date that few critics have analysed it,,
and even many Of the best New York
writers work daily upon the foregoing
principle without knowing it. No man

NOT REVERSlBLE.
sne Decision Tint the supreme
Court Couldn't Alter.

In the good old days when Judge
Gaslin sat upon the bench in district
that comprised the western half Of
Nebraska, the rustler, the horse thief
and the killer aboundod. Judge Gasln
was aware that there was but one way
to rid the country of these pests. and
that way was to make it too hot for
them. Accordingly Judge Gaslin, when
one of them was put on trial. admitted
evidence that was sometimes "iuCom-
petent, irrelevant and immaterial," but
as it was generally true that if the
prisoner was not guilty he had been
guilty of something equally bad Judge
Gaslin let it go at that and clinched
the prisoner on general principles. The
result was that the supreme court re-
verscd good many of the judges
cases.
During these perilous times an afro
ciOus murder was committed in Adams
county and the perpetrators were soon
captured. Tie evidences Of guilt were
plain, and the two prisoners were soon
pronounced guilty and sentenced to be
hanged. But as several notorious char
ncters had recently been allowed to es-
cape 10y the supreme court, the people
of Adams determined to forcstall any
thing of that Kind 10y quietly lynching
the prisoners The two men were TAX
en from the Jail and hanged to a rail
road bridge east Of town.
The bodies were left hanging to the
bridge, and next morning Judge Gas
lin sauntcrcd out that way to take
look. He gaZcd on tie sWaying bodies
for few Gom,uta without saying a
word. Then lie turned to Il friend and
remarked:
81 sentenced those two fellows to be
hanged. That's one decision thot in

Me. Jan. >, 1871, His father. Hannibal
Hamlin. was a brother of Cyrus Hamliu
for whom the missionary was named.
Hannibal Hamlin, the vice president of
the | lited States, was a son of the elder.
aud cousin of the younger Cyrus.
The father of young Cyrus died when
the boy was nine months old. At very
youthful age the lad and his younger
brother managed the affairs of the Ham
lin farm and found very little time for
schooling At the age of &c years Cyrus
was bound out to his brother-in-law, who
lived in Portland and conducted a silver
smith business. 1t seemed as though the
boy would have to learn that trade. A
stirring sermon by Rev. Edward Pavsun
turned his thoughts toward the ministry
and by dint of hard study he prepared
himself for Brighton academy. From
there he entered Bowdoin college. His
mechanical trend was brilliant and he con-
structed the first steam engine ever built
in Maine, in his sophomore year. He
was little over - years when he grad
uated from BOwdoin. He then took
three years course at Bangor Seminary
and preached several sermons during
that time at Portland and Worcester.
In year or two he had become an act
i've preacher of the Congregational faith
AT the age of 30 years he was sent to
Constantinople by the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
Before he departed he was married to

The missionary field proved his life
work, and forty years of that were spent
in the Turkish empire. He founded a
school for boys and native helpers and
succeeded in maintaining it under
great difficulty and through perse-
cutiOn. He established laundries and
bake houses, and it was the latter that
gained him fame during the Crimean
War. The bread was supplied to the
English hospitals and the sick and
wounded lived and were made we'll on
Hamlins bread. The profits were turned
over to the church building fund, and
over dozen houses of worship were
erected by this means. Dr. IIamlin later
became principal of Bebek Seminary,
which position he held from IS 10 to 1860.
His next effort was the founding of Rob
ert college at Iiarpoot, of which he be-
came the head. lie left Turkey in 1873.
His first wife died while in Turkey,
and in so he married Miss Mary +.
Tenney, a young missionary from New
Hampshire.
In 1871 he was appointed professor of
theology in the Bangor Theological
Seminary, which position he held until
inaugurated president of MIddlebury
college in 1850. lie retained the posi-
ton until 1855, when, with the college
firmly established and its future secured.
he rendered his resignation and retired
to his home in Lexington, Mass.
He was the author of number of
theological works.

administration of the affairs of Middle

long experience in trying and discourage
ing undertakings made him well fitted
for his new position. With his usual

MIR. Major, the famous cement man, of New
ork, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that II Is many hundred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made, but great many do not know why.
The simple reason T. that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because they
are too expensive and do not allow large
profits MIR Major tells Us that one of the
elements of his cement costs - - pound,
ana another costs - hj "a gallon, while a large
share of the so called dement's and liquid
glue upon the market, are nothing more then
siNteen.cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, ana in some cases. alterated slightly i'm
color ana OdOr by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails nj fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
tries TO sell a substitute Won can depend upon
IL that his only object Is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this Is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit

chaos and started the college on new
era of prosperity. The library he found
in deplorable condition. The 1000 vol
umes constituting it were crowded to-
gether in what is now the museum.
Through numerous restrictions they
were almost inaccessible. The geOlog-
ical and botanical specimens were in
such crowded quarters that as aids to
students they were almost useless. The
north end of Painter Hall was unused,
and President Hamln proposed by cut
ting through the four floors of the build
ing and putting in stairways and shelves
to have a convenient library. This, with
other improvements, President Hamlin
thought would cost about $1,000. This
was laughed at and his plans opposed by
The trustees. Many prophesied that
he would involve the institution in
debt, but all the Improvements were
made. new books to the value of $1,000
were put into the library and some new
apparatus into the laboratories. the gym
nasium was fitted up with considerable
apparatus and the stipulated sum was
