Beauty Creams now on the market, not know

eruptions of the skin, is as follows and has in
variably proved very successful. Wash the

warm water and a little oatmeal tied up in a
small cloth bag, then after drying well, use the
following inexpensive and perfectly harmless
prescription, which can be filled at any Drug
Store. Clearola o., Ether l o., Alcohol

possible during the day, but use night and
morning any way, allowing it to remain on the

This Simple Home Made Treatment Will
Overcome Rheumatism.


Few people here know that you can cure
that dread American disease, Rheumatism,
with just common everyday drugs found in
any drug store. The prescription is so simple
that anyone can prepare it at home at small
cost. 1t is made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking in bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime. These are all simple ingredients,
making an absolutely harmless home remedy
at little cost.
rheumatism, as everyone knows, is symp
tom Of deranged kidneys. 1t is condition
produced by the failure of the kidneys to
properly filter or strain from the blood the
uric acid and other matter, which, if not eradi-
Gated, either in the urine or through the skin
pores, remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles causing
the untold suffering and deformity of rheuma-
tisn.
This prescription is said to be splendid
healing, cleansing and invigorating tonic to
the kidneys, and gives almost immediate relief
in all forms of bladder and urinary troubles
and backache.

Col. Thomas H. Marshall.

The city of Belfast is memorable for
the contribution of men which it made
to the cause of the Union during the
Civil War. Among these men was
Thomas H. Marshall, a gentleman of
wealth, refinement and literary culture,
who was the first commander of the
Belfast City Grays. In organizing that
company, as we'll as perfecting it in
drill and discipline, he gave his time,
talents and money to the work When
the Fourth Maine regiment was formed
he was still captain of the Grays, but at
the choice of regimental officers he was
elected lieutenant-colonel. He afterwards
be came the colonel of the Seventh
Maine, and while commanding that sturdy
regiment, was stricken with illness, and
died in Baltimore in October, 1861.
The first colonel of this same Fourth
regiment, it will be remembered, was
Hiram G. Berry of Rockland, who af-
forwards became major-general in the
Army of the Potomac. He was the first
volunteer officer of his grade to fall in
battle at the head of his column. Cen
eral Berry was killed at Charlottesville
on the Bird of May, 1863, while he was
Leading his division to the charge on

TRIPLES.

Weary traveller, why this sadness?
Soon these shadows will depart
And life's summer, bright with glalness,
Shed its sunshine DER thy heart.
All! tits not the angry tempest
Roughly beating Ger the way,
Or the clouds in inky darkness
Yelling all the glorious day.
For we know behind the shadows
Turks the sunbeam's golden light,
Soon to usher light and beauty
From the darksome realms of night
1t is not the grief and anguish
Of single day or year,
Makes the bravest faint and languish
And life's path so dark appear.
IT'S the wrongs-the daily worry
In the little trifing things,
That to death the strongest hurry
By their ceaseless thorns and stings.
Not the fitful torrent rushing
By the tempest fiercely blown,
But the ever ceaseless dropping
Smoothly wears the toughest stone.
Not the mighty lannon's rattle
Shook the walls of Jerico;
Steady footsteps won the battle,
Measured marching laid them low.
All! methinks when life is over
Greater sins we'll see forgiven,
But in sad surprise discover
Trifles drive from peace and heaven.

TO DANTE.

Thou solitary wanderer on earth,
Thou daring pilgrim through the realms
unseen!
Thy vision of the shame and anguish keen
Of souls undone, their restless woe and dearth,
Thine upward toll upon the cleansing mount,
Thy fight sublime through heavenly worlds
as bright
Thy pain intense, thy bliss beyond account,
Have made thy song a message to us all.
Through thee we see the fearful doom of sin,
With thee made pure we moral freedom win;
Thy voice from age to age doth sweetly call:
The tireless victor over all that mars
Is Love that moves the sun and all the starst

Going to the Dogs.

My grandpa notes the worlds worn cogs,
And says we're going to the dogs;
His grandad, in his house of logs,

His dad, among the Flemish boys,
Vowed things were going to the dogs:
The cave man, in his queer skin toys,
Said things were going to the dogs;
But this is what wish to state
The dogs have had an awful wait
