For Over Fifty Years
AN 8CLE1 AND WNIAL•TRIED •RENIZDY.— Mrs. Win
slow' S.,othinir Syrup has boon used Mr over fifty
years by millions of mothers !or their children while
trething, with perfect 811COWS. It soothes the child
sotfens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic,
and is thebest meetly for Diarrhoea. Is pheasant to
the taste. Sold by Druggists in e cry part of the
Work,. Twenty.flre cent y a nettle. Its value is
Incalculable. Be sure end ask for Mrs. IVinolow
Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind.
Remedy for Sleeplessness.
I venture to suggest a new but
simple remedy for want of sleep.
Opiates in any form, even the liquor
opii seclat and chloroform, will leave
traces of their influence the next
morning. 1 therefore prescribe for
myself—and have frequently done so
for others—onions; simply common
onions raw ; but Spanish onions,
stewed, will do. Everybody knows
the taste of onions; this is due to a
peculiar essential oil contained in this
most valuable and healthy root. This
oil has. I am sure, highly soporific
powers. In my own case they never
fail. If I am much pressed with
work and feel 1 hall not sleepI eat
two or three small onions, and the
effect is magical. (Aliens are also
excellent things to cat when much
exposed to intense cold. Finally, if
a person cannot sleep, it is because
the blood is iu the brain, not in the
stomach. The remedy, therefore, is
obvious. Call the blood down from
the brain to the stomach. This is to
be done by eating a biscuit, a hard
boiled egg, a bit of bread and cheese,
or something. Follow this up with a
Iglass of milk, or oven water, and
you will fall asleep, and. will, I trust,
bless the name of the writer.

sat in the Sheriffs office talking
with him about a man in hie charge
who was to be hanged three days
later, when a woman was announced,
and in walked a female who had
passed, flfty, lier face was wrinkled,
her hair thin and white, and her
voice seemed to come out of a reed as
she asked
Hev yo' got a inau in this yore
prison named Thomas Jackson?
Yes'rn, remelted the official,
Did he ldll somebody about three
months ago.?
He did, ma'am.
And has he bin tried for murder
and sentenced to be hung ?
He is to be hung on Friday, ma'am.
He is, eh ? she queried, as she took
a pipe from her pocket and proceeded
to Ml and light.
Ar' yo' them= who is pin' to
hang him?
I shall have to carry out the law.
Yates, of wise. Folks hev got to
be bung and we hav got to hav other
folks to hang 'ern. How does Tom
b'ar up under it?
Very well, indeed, ma'am. I thiuk
he will die like a man.

Are you a relative ?
Used to be his wife, but done left
him. Yaas, lived with Tom fur
sixteen years. ,
And you have come to say farewell
to him
No, sir. I'm on my way to Collins-

Neea clear Heads.
Working people need clear heads,
sound sleep and good digestion; for
if sickness comes, wheal then ? It is
cheaper to keep well. That "queer
feeling" springs from indigestion.
First you "pooh, pooh !" Then you
grow alarmed and send for the doc-
tor. No need of that. A box of
Ripens Tabules well set you right
and keep you right ; so you can eat,
sleep and work. Ask the druggist
for them.
What is Wealth?
Does wealth consist in money,
houses, lands, bank stocks, railway
bonds, etc., alone?
We think not. The 'young man
starting life with no money, but
with .good digestion, good sleep,
good health and ability to work in
some profitable employment, has
what the aged capitalist would be
glad to exchange all his millions for.
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days, or
the misconduct of dissipated children?
Which brings the greater hanpi-
ness---•the glitter, show, jealousies
and falsity of fashionable life, or the
heartfelt friendships which prevail
se largely in the homes of the in-
dustrious poor ? ,
• In how many of the palaces of our
millionaires will yott . find greater
happiness in the parlor than in the
kitchen ?
How many millionaires will tell
you they aro happier now than when
starting in life without a, dollar ?
On the tops of mountains we find
rock, and ice, and snow. It is down
in the valleys that we find the vine -
Iyards.
Let no man envy those richer than
1 himself until taking all things into
aecount—age, health, wife, children,
friends—he is sure he would be will-
ing to exchange.—George T. Angell.
