For putting on the same gloss and
hard pearl finish to Shirts, Collars, &C.,
as when bought new, at cost of one
cent per week. 1t beats the world !!
With a greenemigrant servant we can
polish linen equal to any Laundry IN
America. 1t causes the iron to run
smoothly, and prevents rust. 1t
makes an old shirt look new. 1t gives
the linen such a smooth, glossy finish,
that dust and dirt will not stick
to it. A woman can do her ironing
in one half the time, and the clothes
smell sweet and fresh.


Every box of the Cheng Weng con-
tains package of Chinese Washing
Blue from which a large 9-ounce Bot
tie of Liquid Bluing can be made in
one minute without cost if necessary
this can be demonstrated at any time
and it will be seen how quickly the
Blueing is made from the powder, con-
vincing any person that they are ac-
tually getting the price of the Box in
Blueing alone, besides having a large
box of the Cheng Weng that will last
a family many months.


1t is the most economical article
that can be used, costing only about
one cent to do the ironing of a large
family. Warranted not to injure
the clothes, but will make them last
much longer, because they do not have
to 60 through the wearing out process
of washing and starching So often: 1t
gives the linen such a smooth, glossy
surface, that the dust and dirt will
not adhere to it, so that it will keep
clean much longer. Even would it
keep clean no longer the beautiful
gloss finish which is impaired is suffi-
cient inducement to bring it into gen
eral use The Polish is packed in a
slide box, containing "a Lozenges
which will last an ordinary family six
months.


The Cheng Weng Chinese Washing
Blue from Hong Kong is without any
doubt the best in the world. 1t new
er settles when in water, and contains
ten times the amount of blueing prop
erty of ordinary bottle blueing.


Give it one trial and you will al
ways use it.


Each box contains 80 cents worth of
polish which is sold at half price
thirty cents per box.


Beware of travelling swindlers
who will offer you bogus article for
25 to 35 cents per box and thus steal
your money.

Dear Journal Il don t know when
have read an article with the same
interest as the one in your last issue
under the above heading, said to have
been written years ago by a lady now
deceased. 1t was scarcely necessary,
Mr. Editor, for you to say that "she
was we'll known here by many friends,
as any one who will read the article
carefully will readily conclude that
she had very familiar acquaintance
with this place and people. So far as
our place and people, in many in
stances, are concerned, she really
"held the mirror up to nature" How
many are there in our midst who can
see themselves fully reflected in that
short article? Doubtless numbers
can. How often do you hear mems
actions questioned? However patri-
otic they may be, there must be a
motive beyond public good in it.
How often too do you hear them say
that no man is to be trusted 2 that every
man has his price. They do not even
stop at this, but will really damn hui
manity and pronounce it a fraud and
will even 60 so far as to say that
man is really failure.


| will ask you, Mr.. Editor, from
what stand point is it natural for men
to reason? Is it not from himself?
He who questions every other mans
acts and motives knows full well that
he himself is not to be trusted or man
to be relied upon; indeed he says so
in so many words. Such men would,
if they could, ignore the existence Of
such thing as mans relation with
man. All actions to be popular in
their estimation must be characterised
by malice, hate and envy, traits of
character, regret to say, to-day at
a premium with us. 1t does not oc-
cur to such men that it is possible for
a man to get above self, Such thing
as a personal sacrifice fer general
good is entirely beyond their compre-
hension. Man know thyself" is a
grand injunction. But "do unto 9th
ers as nearly as possible as you would
have others do unto you" is the sub
limest of all. CAssIoPEIA.

you may do so or not, by at least
look OF recognition.

When your companion bows to

A letter must be answered, unless

that he or his sub bject is beneath your

A visit must be returned in like

A smiling countenance is pleasant,
