what a Thistle Did,
A Sootohman living in Australia and
visiting his native land carried back a
thistle, the emblem oi Sootlend, as the
reader is doubtless aware. A grand
banquet was held in Melbourne by 200
Sootohmen, and the tie:title, in a huge
vase ocoupied the place of bonor in the
centre of the table. It was toasted end
cheered, and the next shy it was planted in
the public garden with a great deal of re-
joicing. The thistle grew and thrived,
and en due time its down was scattered
by the winds; other thistles eprang frOM
the seed, and their down was scattered,
and in a few years the thistle had made
itself thoroughly at home in all parts of
Australia. It has rooted out the waive
grasses on thonsande, I could almont say

In many persons the eruption known as
prickly heat comes from the corrosive

whenever the clothing has an opportunity
to rub the ekin. In cases of persons having

be obteined by applying a lather of soap and
teeth.% it dry in. The soap is sufficiently
alkaline in its nature to neutralize tho acid
of the perspiration, and stop its corroding

Gutter journalism.
Rochester Herald: Yet the press is too
ready to meddle with the domestic affairs
of the people, intruding its imperldrient
inquiries into the ;sanctities of family life
and laying • bare before the merciless,
scoffing inspection of the public little differ-
ences of omission and petty domestic con-
trovereies which might never seriously
interfere with the happiness of the parties
concerned if it were not for the &ogre.
• vation of such publicity. This has be-
am° so common that many papers that
on principle would condemn it fall into the
habit almost unconecionely. Young news-
paper men are led to believe it is a
enate accomplishment of their oalling to
probe into the private affairs of family life
and the remits of their researches often
cause considerable annoyance to their em-
ployers as well as to those of whom they
write. The knowledge of what really con.
dial:des news, how to draw the line between
what mould be made public and what
should be suppreseed is an important
qualification in every newspaper worker.

Breathing Exercise.
Whatever will increase the bremthing
capacity will improve the health, and the
following exercise, if done properly, in the
fresh sir, and with the clothing loosely
worn so as to enable you to breathe deeply,
is one of the best knwn to increase the
interior size of the lung room.
Hold head up, shoulders back, and chest
out ; inflate the lungs slowly through the
nose until they are brimful; hold until
you have counted ten, without opening
your lips; exhale quickly till your lunge
are as nearly empty of the bad air as it is
poesible to get them.
Repeat same exercise, trsing to hold the
lungs full while counting twenty. Try it
again, and see if you can hold your breath
half a minute. Finish up with three or
four deep, long. drawn inspiration&
One of the beet times for taking *hie
exercise is when you are going to and from
your work or studio. Hold your breath
while walking ten steps, then twenty, eto.
The advantage of being in the open sir and
sunshine is that the air is fresher than is
generally found in -doors.
Take this medicine three times a day,
either before or after meals. If taken after,
it will be found to greatly help digestion.
If this exercise should make you dizzy at
first, take it in smaller doses, until your
blood can stand the stimulation of its
purifier.
The daily praotioe of this out.door
breething exercise has been known to in-
crease the size of the ohest two inches in
one month.—.R. Roberts.

had I deposited my erunk at the hotel,
when I ran to the Madeleine and clam-
bered on top of one of the omnibuses that
ply along the line of the boutevaras to the
Bastille. I had no bueneest at the
Bastille, but I wae almost crazy
with joy at breathing, during the
drive, that perfume of Perieian life which
arises so etrongly from the asphalt of the
boulevard and the macedem of its roadway.
It WAS evening, the gas jete (for electricity
was yet unknown) spangled the darkness
with yellow lights; the shops, all opened,
shone brilliantly; the crowd was strolling
up and down the wide sietewelk. It was
not one of those eager, breathless crowds
that eeena carried sway in a vortex of busi-
ness, such as one sees in London ; it was
composed of loungers who seemed to be
walking about for their pleasure, who were
cheering to the sight, and diffneed, as it
were, a feeling of happiness in the air.
From time to time the omnibus pasaed
before a theatre, where long lines of peo-
ple were already welting tor the
opening of the box 03%00 ; everybody
was enjoying himself and Itughing. As
we descended toward the Bastille, the
passeraby became less numerous, the
groups less compeet, but there Mill re.
maned the same air of happy animation.
I do not know, but it seamed to me gust the
very atmosphere was lighter, more
luminous; it eparkled with youth and lite;
I felt eubtile bateau oe gayety mounting to
my brain, and / remember that I weld not
refrain from olepping my hands, to the
great scandal of my neighbors, who
thought that I WOO 64 little mad. " Ah I
how beitutifal it ie -the boulevard!" I ex-

Is a dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. It should
not be allowed to continue, as in its
debility the system is especially liable
to serious attacks of illness. It is re-
markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa-
parilla is in this enervating state. Pos-
sessing just those elements which the
system needs and readily seizes, this
medicine purifies the blood, and im-
parts a feeling of strength and self-con-
fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
remedy for that weakness which pre-
vails at change of season, climate or life.
arsaparilla
"1 believe it is to the use of Hood's
Sarsaparilla that I owe my present
health. In the spring, I got so com-
pletely run down I could not eat or
sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of
life seemed to have a mortgage on my
system. I was obliged to abandon my
work, and after seeking medical treat-
ment and spending over $5o for different
preparations, I found myself no better.
Then my wife persuaded me to try a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before
the first bottle was gone I began to
amend. I have now used two bottles
and have gained 22 pounds. Can eat
anything without it hurting me ; my
dyspepsia and biliousness have gone.
I never felt better in iny life." W. V.

" I was very tnuch run down in health,

Faith Cure Failed to Cure.
The 13.year-old deughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Fresek Drew'living near Bourbon,
Ind., was it
of yphisicl fever, and the
father placed her under the cure of a
physician, and every indionstion pointed to
convalescence. After the fever was
checked the father Wfd3 called away on
business. Mrs. Drew la a firm believer in
faith care, and afterthe departure of her
husband the physician was diemissed ana
her fellow proselytes called in, and prayers
and songs took the place of the medicinal
treatment. A viol of oil was poured on the
little girl, and elle was told that all she had
to do was to believe the was well and her
restoration would follow. After two days
of this treatment a relapse armee and she
died.

a senior auctioned eft the old gowns, fur-

highly creditable as an imitation, and with
a discrepanoy between the price and the
intrinsic value of the goods to her clients'
