Heath Before cath.

Nine out of ten ailments first show themselves in constipation. Natures warning, if left unheeded, means se- rious chronic trouble later on. Medical statistics show that a greater number of people suffer from constipation than from all other diseases combined. A great talk is made about consumption, but if the truth were known, constipa- tion kills more people than consump- tion. Within the last few years a med icine has been discovered and made known to the American people, of such merit in curing constipation and it's consequences that now over ten million boxes of CASCARETS are sold every year, the greatest sale ever attained by any one medicine in the world and this is the strongest proof that it is the best and will do all and more than claimed. If you are sufferer you are not doing right by yourself or your family if you fail to give CASCARETS a trial, and right here we want to warn you to get the genuine, because all great successes breed limitations. The genuine tablet is put up in metal boxes and has the word CASCARETS with the long-tailed "C" on the cover. Every Cascsret tablet is stamped c. c. c.

THE PIcKET.GUARD.

All quiet along the Potomac" they say,
= Except now and then stray picket
ls shot, as he walks on his beat to and fro
by r11eman hid in the thoket
lis nothing; private or two, now and then.
- Will not count in the news of the battle;
Not an officer lost-only one of the men,
Moaning out all alone, the death rattle"
All quiet along the Potomac tonight.
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon
Or the light of the watch-fres cleaning.
A tremulous sigh, as the gentle night-wind
nv, Inrougn the forest leaves softly is creeping
Wnlie stars up above, with their glittering eyes,
Keep guard-for the army is sleeping.
There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread
AS he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
And ne thinks of the two in the low trundle-bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain
His musket falls slack; his face, dark and grim.
Grows gentle with memories tender,
AS he mutters prayer for the children asleep,
For their mother-may Heaven defend her!
The moon seems to shine just as brightly as then,
That night when the love yet unspoken
Leaped up to his lipS-when low, ,murmured vows
Were pledged to be ever unbroken;
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
he dashes of tears that are yelling,
AS Keep dSwn fSsfr fse 50 rel
Ho passes tho fountain, tne ulnstcu pine-trvc--
The footetep is tagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt Of
light,
Toward the shades Of the forest so dreary.
Hark was it the night-wind that rustled the
leaves1
Was IL moonlight so wondrously flashing?
1t looked like rifle; "Ha Mary. good-byl"
And the life-blood is ebbing and FLASHING.
All quiet along the Potomac tonight
No sound save the rush of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead
Mrs. Rowland.

BRUTEs GIVEN TO DRINK.

Although it has often been said
when speaking of drunkenness that
even the beasts of the field do not get
drunk it is nevertheless a fact that a
great many animals do get intoxica-
ted. Take the elephant, for instance.
de is particularly fond of the fruit of
the unganu tree, and although he ap-
pears to have some idea that it is not
when he he has ;'' once Ice Begun uHf1I ensiaYss Is
willy excited and so extoxicated
thathe will stagger from side to side.
EveE now and then he will pull him
self Up, shake his huge head and tear
madll through the forest, trumpet
ing atthe top of his voice and terri
flying every living creature. 1t is
said thlt he will even dare and defy
his mo$ dreadful enemy, the tiger,
when in this condition, but we have
no means of verifying this. It is we'll
known, However, that an elephant is
in most dangerous condition when
suffering rom the effects of eating
this beautiful fruit, and all who can
take care % keep out of his way as
much as possible.
The slott bear is another animal
given to this failing. The natives of
India are in the habit of hanging lit
tie vessels on the palm trees for the
purpose of catching the juice. This
juice is so attractive to the sloth bear
that, although such a poor climber,
he will scramble up and go on drink
ing the juice until he is so drunk that
he can only slip helplessly to the
ground and lie there in a drunken
stupor until the effects have passed
off.
But the sloth bear is not the only
animal who is so partial to this juice
of the palm tree. The curious fruit
Cor fox) bats (fanlily pteropide) are
particularly fond of it. This peculiar
little combination of beast and bird,
with its foxlike face, reddish furry
body and black, uncanny looking
wings, the delicate membrane of
which is always quivering down to
the very tips, will fly to these vessels
in company with some hundreds of
his companions and they will suck the
Juice until the ground below the tree
will be dark with the bodies of these
bats, who will lie there too helplessly
intoxicated to move or defend them
selves no matter what may turn up.
*. Ths y e.l biggest drunkard Of all is per. r
this animal to the drinking habit that
he has been termed the toddy cat.
And more helpless, foolish looking
creature than he is when he is thor
oughly intoxicated with the palm
juice it would be difficult to find.
There are many other animals given
to this failing, but all those I have
spoken of live in India, and it may be
that the heat which induces extreme
thirst, frequent excuse among men,
is the direct cause of it.-Colliey'S
