OUR CONSCIENCE FUND.

Year 1871.

Washington with an avowal that he

those nccesstous days when the eeun-
try vcrged on war with Great Britain,
and it was Il patriotic as We'll us Il pen

During the preceding thirty~tivo
years Of the life Of the republic no one
had despoled the government, or the
private conscience was callous. This
New York man, indeed, seems to have
been the one bemSh on a golden era
Of national virtues, for fifty years were
to elapse before there was an addition
to the fund
"ln l>Gi. jllst after Sumter was fred

Oriain of -Si,Sinth II


Absinth. the green fieHd that satu-
rates fashionable france, WAS original
ly an extremely harmless medical
remedy.
1t WAS Il French physician who first
used it. His name WAS Grdinaire and
he WAS living as q refugee at Couvet
in Switzerland. at the close of the
eighteenth century. Like many other
country doctors at that time. he WAS
also a druggist and shis favorite reme-
dy WAS Il certain elixir of ahsinth of
which he alone had the secret.
At his death he heqneated the for.
mula to his housekeeper. Milo. Grand
pierre. and She sold it to the daughters
Of Lieutenant IIcnriod. They cult
waited in their little garden the herbs
necessary for concoetinG it, and after
they had distilled Il certain quantity OF
the liquid they sold it on commission
to itinerant pc0dlerS, who quickly dis
posed of it in the adjacent towns and
villages.
Finally. during he first decade of the
nineteenth century. a wealthy diStilleI
purchased the formula. and very soon
afterNard he placed Oh the market the
modern ahsinth which differs greatly
from the old medical remedy. since the
latter contained no alcohol and very
little abSinth.

The lad WAS about five years of ace
and naturally inquisitivc. He asked
his father questions he had never
heard before. and the fond parent was
a perpleNed man.
The youngster got on the subject of
the next world one day and wanted to
know Il lot of things. will YOU wear
a mustache in heaven, papa:' he ask
ed.

the father.

There was a long pause, and finally
the boy asked what kind of a place
heaven was. The father in order to
satisfy his son went into lengthy de-
tails in describing it's beauty.
The lad listened with open mouth
and finally said, why, papa, heaven
must look like the ten cent store!'-

Fish constitutes one Of the most val.

though the popular notion that it is Il

more easily and causes the production

products which. if not at once Ciilni-
mated, act iniuriously upon the deli

The last mentioned property is one
which renders fish of especial value in
the diet of persons suffering from

the kidneys, from rheumatism. gou1

stop and think what he means by it:
does he mean to show his friendship
for you or is he looking for your
friendship. IL is enough and great
for a person to favor any body if he
is looking Tor help. But we do not
expect anybody to look for the per
son that wants help. II you start
ont from home to do yonr shopping,
yon don't wait to look for friends,
to favor them with your hnying.
But leave friendship alone. As your
dollar is your best friend, therefore
you must look ont and investigate
how valuable and how far your dol
lar could take you. If so You'd
surely think that as the dollar is in
