PLAYTHINGs.

The streets are full Of human toys,
Wound up for threescore years;
Their springs are hungers, hopes and joys
And jealousies and fears
They move their eyes, their lips, their hands
Tisey are marvelously dressed,
And here my body stirs or stands,
A plaything like the rest.
The toys are played with till they fall,
Worn out and thrown away.
Why were they ever made at all?
Who sits to watch the play2

HINTS FOR BEAUTY SEEKERS.

The softer the water the better is
it fitted for washing the human skin.
Boiling lessons Hardness" Hot wa
ter cleanses the skin better than
cold, but has no tonic effect. Cold
water is a good tonic but a poor
cleanser.
Skins are muddy because the liver
is torpid, because the air breathed
is impure, because the bowels are not
freely active, because gaseous and
solid impurities in the atmosphere
are staining the skin. There are
many other prime factors, but in a
startling majority of cases one of
the foregoing will take the chief
place. Not infrequently there are
several allied causes.
Under ordinary conditions ordinary
methods serve; but when the skin
is very dirty, or we desire to attack
blackheads, soap should be worked
into paste with the hand, and be
well rubbed over the surface for
some seconds. Then, using little
hot water, say half pint, the skin
surface must be rubbed into lath-
er, washed in another supply of hot,
and finally be rinsed in cold water.

Macy Messages Carried During tina
siege Of Ladysmith.


Mai. Altman gives an interesting
account in the journal Of the Royal
United Service institution Of the pi-
geons that were used as messengers
during the siege Of Ladysmith. Soon
after the arrival Of Sir George White
in Natal the Durham Homing society
offered the loan Of their birds to the
military authorities. Two members
Of the society took charge Of the feed
ing and flying of the birds. Lofts
were prepared in Ladysmith and 20
trained and 90 unframed birds were
sent up-country by train. Trials were
made with the trained birds, They
all returned safely to Durham, and
were sent back with 80 other partially
trained birds. During the first
month Of the siege, before signaling
communications were established,
the pigeons were of great use. Tween
ty-eight birds, carrying 10 separate
messages, we're flown, and of these II,
carrying II messages, achieved safely
the journey of 12Omiles Three birds
arrived, having dropped or pecked off
their message en- route. Noexact rec
ord of the time spent in the journey
seems to have been kept, but in one
instance a bird pitched from Lady
smith at $50 Il. N. reached Durham
at 1880 a. m. The loss Of birds was
attributed to three causes IT bad
weather, imperfect training and birds
Of prey. The pigeon is good for a dis
lance Of 300 miles. Some Of the
Ladysmith birds have been raced
from Johannesburg TO Durham, which
are about that distance apart. 1t
speaks well for the self-control Of the
beleaguered inhabitants chat even in
the "cheyril" days no pigeon was
killed for food, though their number
increased during the siege 10 nearly

Interesting Relic of Benjamin franklin

in a Philadelphia Hospital
Benjamin Franklin was a hearty
eater in the good old days before the
vending of lightning-rods became a
profession. When history caught one
of her first glimpses of him he was
eating a roll in the street. After he
laid the cornerstone of the Pennsyl-
vania hospital in the happy reign of
George ii. he was frequent visitor
in the halls of that institution. His
labors there being arduous, it Glanced
that he frequently felt hungry at
work.
He appeared at the hospital gate
one day with big tin box under his
arm. Designating the gaze Of the
curious, he marched through the cor
ridors to the dispensary, brushed
aside few cob-webbed beakers from a
shelf and in their place planted the
tin box.
"What might this be?" queried his
friend, DR.. Rush.
"This," said Ben Franklin, sis

The box was filed with penny

Franklin bought more cakes. That

Since Franklin's time, new hospi-

out of existence, and the hospital ha'
grown to be one of the most noted il

FoR THE BLOOD. IlvER.LUNGs.

Experience has shown to physicians
that the majority of diseases have their
ORIGIN in the arrangement or disease of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
tion and nutrition. The stomach Is the
receptacle in which food is received and
the laboratory in which it Is prepared to
nourish the different parts OF the body.
II prepares brain nourishment IN one
way. nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another When
the stomach is tout of order these
various forms of nourishment are only
partly or imperfectly. prepared, and
nerve, muscle, on brain, as the case
may be, is only partly fed, and the result
is pain, which is Natures protest and
warning. The pain may be in the head
or in the heart, but you must reach 1t
through the stomach or you can't cure
il. That Is the philosophy on which Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery IS
nrepared. 1t has absolute control OF
the stomach and digestive and nutritive
system. II cures diseases in head, heart,
liver. lungs and other organs by curing
The diseased condition of the stomach
which prevents the proper nourisfment
of the various organs and corrupts them
NV its own diseased condition, i'll the
partial nourishment it provides. In like
manner "Golden Medical Discovery"
purifies. the blood, by purifying the
stomach and other blood-inaking organs.
It contains no alcO-
hol, or other intoxi-
cant, and no narcotic.
