I have used Aver's Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Serofula, and know, i
, if it s
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. I here also
prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alter-
ative, and must say that I honestly believe
It to be the best blood mediclue ever

It would be impossible for me to de-

the care of various physicians and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayer's Same:wine for
short time, my headache disappeared,
and my stomach performed its duties more
perfectly. To -day my health is com-
pletely restored. —Mary Harley, Spring-
field, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
stones and invigorates the system, regulates
the action of the digestive and assimilative
organs, and vitalizes the blood. It is.
without doubt, the most reliable blood

about fifty feet down into a valley like before
I struek the ahells. They were all in abiinch

bleolt mark against the white botteni.

I had filled &half dozen or so, when all at
once I saw a kind of shadow moving over all,
At first I thought it was the aelmoner, and
then, perhaps, some other divers coning
down, and then it left; but all at once it
came again and grew so dark in a aecond
that I turned quick and looked up, and I'm
telling you the truth, mister, if my hair
hadn't been held down by a copper cap it
would have riz right up on end. There
admovin' over me, was what took to be a
bird about thirty feet across. It was wheel-
ing round and round, flapping its big wings
just as you've seen buzzards or eagles do
overhead. Down it came, lower and lower,
and 1 crouching as flat as I could get, The
nearer it got the bigger it looked, and as I
see it was a settling on me I took the pike I
always carried, and as it wheeled around
over me I let drive. Hit it? Well, I reckon

The next thing I knew I was standing on

sideways, nalf drowned, and then I reckox. I
lost my senses, and when I came to I was
lyin' on deck and all hands looking at me.
You see, the critter had given the water
such a swirl that I was knocked end for end
and my pipe and line twisted around and
around, so that I couldn't breathe, and, of
course, that pulled the line and the men
thought I had jerked it to come up, so they
hauled away for all they were worth, and
that's what saved my life.

are. There wasn't a man who would go

Lord 17Tolseley's Advice to Young Cadets.
Lord Wolseley has a good deal of the
woolly horse about him. He is stagey in his
talk and somewhat theatrical and bombas-
tic in all his v ays. In a late talk to some
Woolwich cadets when a good many ladies
—mothers and sisters—were present, this is
the way in which the supposedly greatest
General that Britain has at present, deliver-
ed himself :—
"The career wbich they had before them
was great and glorious, but he exhorted
them not to despise small things. He hoped
he was not saying wrong in wishing that
they might be called upon for active service,
for a campaign was the real test of a soldier,
and if they were so fortunate they would
find that success in war was made up of dili-
gent attention to apparent trifles. He pre -
sum d that he was addressing men who
meant to make the army a profession, and
use it as a means of advancement, hoping to
reach through its ranks to positions of
eminence and honour. Never let them lose
an opportunity, not only of a campaign—
for that might come or not, according to
events—but of putting themselves in the
way of operations involving personal risk.
(A deep sigh from one of the ladies followed
this remark.) I know, continued Lord
Wolseley, that this advice is not in accord
with the wishes of fond relatives and friends;
but I am bound to tell you distinctly and
deliberately that according to my experience
and observation the surest way to success
in active service is to face danger ; ha plain
words, to take every opportunity of being shot.
In an engagement it is most probable that a
certain number of you will be shot, but
those who live and have done bravely will
have attracted the attention of their superi-
ors, and further opportunities of distinction
will be given you."
It is of course true that a soldier must be
prepared. to face death, but it is scarcely
likely that young men should need to be
told that they must never lose an op-
portunity of putting themselves in the way
of operations involving personal risk. The
tendency is only to be too daring, and there
is no use in any one advising young soldiers
to be reckless and to throw their lives away.
The Duke of Wellington had a different and
more sensible idea. He held that a man
had no business recklessly and needlessly
to throw away his life, and on one occasion
he refused to mention in his despatches the
name of one of his bravest officers who had
recklessly taken the opportunity to get shot.
"What business had he there ?" said. the
Iron Duke. "1 shall not mention his name.
I shall teach officers that, dead or alive,
they shall not be praised if they throw away
their lives."

The highest reeommendation a man eau
have is in the fact of hie having a wife.
A bachelor is likened to It counterfeited
coin; he is looked upon with auspiciou even
by his own household.
Loveonaking is only done three days after
marriege. It is pot considered the safest
way to get ahead of a rival, but the surest
way to get a wife without losing much time.
A previous acquaintanceship between the
male and female prevents them from mar-
riage, For this reason a Man seldom weds a
girl of his own town. They are likewise
prevented from marrying kins cr namesakes.
doneses are not allowed to marry Joneses,
nor Smiths to marry Smiths.
A girl is never considered anything else in
her own father house than an honored
guest. She is neither responsible for the
family's debts nor enjoys a share in its for-
tunes, as in the case of sons.
Daughters depend upon their husbands
for fame and fortune, while sons depend
upon the parents and upon themselves.
A man could borrow money on the
strength of his having a son'but no one

for the debts of his father for three genera-
tions. The latter is only responsible for
the debts of her husband.
When a Chinaman meets another he
shakes and squeezes his own hands ; covers
his head. if great friends had not seen
each other for a, long time, after the mutual
hand -shaking they would rub shoulders
until they become tired. Instead of asking
each other's health they would say : "Have
you eaten your rice, where are you going,
what is your business when you get there,
how old are you, audhow much did you pay
for your shoes ?"

Russia's Ruler.
The denials that followed the first rumour
of a, plot to kill the Czar were prompt and
persistent, but their very urgency was sus-
picious, and now the original story is repeat-
ed, coupled with the report of a project by
others than Nihilists to overthrow despotism
and substitute constitutional monarchy.
Six years have passed since the assassin-
ation of the Czar's father on the 13th of
March, 1881, and the life led by his successor,
with its terrors and alarms, must have been
one of misery. • Not until 1883 did he ven-
ture to be crowned, and now, after a brief
respite from conspiracies against his life, he
finds them rife again. All this time he has
taken no step to disarm enemies and strength-
en the loyalty of his people by giving Russia
a constitution. During the earlier years of
his reign such a gift might, perhaps, have
I been misinterpreted as wrung from him by
fear, hut there was good opportunity for it
' later, and had he done that act his throne
would probably have been stronger to -day
and his life happier.

ted by the latter.
"It is much better to be ignorant and
know how to live than to be learned and not
know how to live. The principal object of
a, school is to learn how to live in tranquil-
lity and happiness and nothing more." So
say all Chinese scholars.
' It is much lesser crime to steal your neigh.
bor's ox than to steal his dog. The former
is simply personal property, while the latter
takes the place of a man—watchman.
If a Chinaman desires the death of an
enemy he goes and hangs himself upon his
neighbor's door. It is a sure cure to kill
not only that particular enemy, but mem-
bers of the entire family will be in jeopar-
dy of losing their lives.
When a Chinaman desires a visitor to
dine with him he does not ask him to do so,
but when he does not wish him to stay he
puts the question, "Ob, please stay and
dine with me 1" The visitor will then know
he is not wanted.
• A rich man's servant gets no salary, yet
many are the applicants; while big salaries
are paid to the servants of the common peo-

sons of these differences.
When a Chinaman expects a present and
it does not come he sends one of lesser

A London despatch says :—" A terrible
prison mutiny has occurred at Revel, in
the Russian Province of Esthonia, on the
Gulf of Finland. The revolt included 300
prisoners, who rebelled against the prison
authorities because the governor provided
them with bad food. The governor, in fear
of his life, took refuge in the guardhouse
whiela was defended by fourteen soldiers:
T e utineers offered to surrender on con-
dition

mare no conditions, and at his order the
soldiers fired repeatedly on the unprotected
prisoners and kept up the massacre until

ground.Fifty were killed and a intriber
vgnititled. Thie crushed the tobellion, and t
the governor of the province has since con-
gratulated the governor of the prison on
maintaining order at any cost."

Turkish Women at Home.
Turkish women are utterly irresponsible
beings in their husbands' eyes, and treated
in most ways like little children—provided
for comfortably, fed, clothed, and amused,
but not educated. While naturally docile
and intelligent, they become shrewish
through the ignorance in which they are
kept. They are generous with that un-
thinking generosity that causes a child to
give away the most expensive toy, not know-
ing the cost. A Turkish woman will at any
I time, if the caprice seizes her, give away her
finest jewels. Their hospitality is too well
j known to require mention. They always
I have coffee and sweetmeets served for any
and all guests, and when they feel that the
visit has lasted. long enough they clap hands
and the caffejee brings a second cup of cof-
fee and that is the signal. No guest can etay
longer than to drink this. Sometimes the
, time between drinks is decidedly short.
1 The women and children do not undress
at night, but add a wadded night -robe to the
clothes they already have on, and sleep thus
summer and winter. They close all the
doors and windows, and sleep several in one
room, and doubtless would suffer dreadfully
from the confined air were it not that Turk-
ish carpenters never have heard of the
plumb-line, and so windows and doors all
have crevices, which supply ventilation.
The tales of oriental magnificence fail to

for the women, or the private suites, it is

Make Her Pillow Soft.
"Sir I are you the undertaker
That buries the pauper dead?
Then you are to fetch rny Mary—
For that's what the doctor said.
You see, I ant poor an' frienless,
An' lame from a oruel fall,
An the sickness an the medicine
Has taken our money all.
" Ugh—ugh—excuse this hacking,
It makes me slow to speak,
I am troubled with a cough, sir.
An' both my eyes are weak;
It's sittin' up all night, sir,
A-watchbf at death's door—
Yee, yes !I know I'm tedious,
It's tedious to be poor.
" What 501 want? Just wait, sir,

What did my Mary die of
Hunger and cold. Her name?
I've told hor naine—my Mary—
I'll set It down for you :
She died last night in my arms, sir,
We were alone—we two.
An' I want to ask a favor:
When you make rny Mary's bed
Please—make—her—pillow—soft, sir,
Soft, for her achin' head.
I know its done with the Achill'
An' all that hurted it oft,
But 'twill comfort me a bit sir,
If—you—make—her—pillow- soft."
The undertaker heard him
And silent turned away:
But he made poor Mary's pillow
With tender hands that clay.
And often something choked him
As of rising tears—and oft
He heard through the tap of the hammers
" Please—make—her—pillow—soft."
Fashions in Coffins.
Thereare fashions in everything nowadays,
even in funerals, and as there are styles in
garments, so also are there styles in coffins.
One would think that the melancholy duty
of burying the dead would be beyond the
dictates of fashion to which nearly everything
else in this world is forced to bow, but a stroll
through the warerooms of some large manu-
facturing undertaker would quickly convince
the doubter that even the house of mourning
is ruled by the unyielding band of what the
world calls fashion. Fashion said once that
he who would be in style must be buried in
a casket of beautifully polished rose -wood
or other rare or costly wood with massive
handles and trimming of silver. Then noth-
ing but a slim purse suggested a departure
from the ruling style. Now fashion says
that a casket neatly and plainly covered
with black cloth is the only really proper
burial case, and this decree is as imperative
as all others from the same source. Between
these two extremes there have been many in-
termediate patterns, and fickle fashion will
probably one day again order a change, and
then the sombre casket of to -day will be a
thing of the past and irrevocably "out of
style."
It is only in caskets for infants and young
people that anything like latitude is permit-
ted, and even then it is principally as regards
color. White or the universal black are the
colors prescribed, the former being thatmost
used. For those who are bold enough to dis-
regard the mandates of fashion there are a
great variety of styles and colors available,
some of them so novel as to be almost start-
ling. For instance, an enterprising New
York undertaker created quite a sensation
the other day by conspicuously displaying in
his window a cask covered with plush of the
delicate shade known as Nile green and by
its side another covered with light blue vel-
vet. Without going to such extremes there
are a great variety of shades and patterns of
covering material. There are plushes, vel-
vets and plain cloths in black, brown, blue old
gold and numerous intermediate shades.
Embossed and figured plushes are even in-
cluded in the list of coverings. '

application of electricity. By placing pieces
of metal end to ,end under a forcible pres-

through them, perfect weldings are effected,
even between metals otherwise incapable of
being welded together, or between different
metals. To weld steel of one and a half inch
diameter, a current of six thousand amperes,
having an electromotive force of half volt,
was necessary. It is stated that the use of
thirty -five -horse power for one minute will
weld that thickness of steel without any

Steel also may be welded in this way to brass.
Soienoe of Spelling.
The question of spelling is a process that is
never settled; epelling, like the other sci-
ences, being a progressive one. To have
this question settled would be exceedingly
desh•able, yet to rely on such a pleasing ex-
pectation would prove an ignorance of the
origin of language. The growth of the in-
tellect is the measure of the increase of our
vocabulary. In fact, the change is so rapid
that in a lifetime of a single individual, who
may have received a thorough education, he
finds himself at last classified as an "old
school gentleman." The construction of
language, including spelling, is a matter of
economy in expression, and science every-
where economizes. New subjects are ac-
cumulating and demanding new worde for
their best expression, and as so many of these
new words are so very long, the pressure for
the simplest manner of spelling grows more
appreciable. All letters which are silent in
speech should be expunged from their
written expression. Much of our spelling
is bewildering to every one, and especially
so to children and foreigners who have been
trained in other tongues. Telegraphy and
phonography are foremost in demanding
that letters and sounds shall exactly agree.
We are outgrowing the days of Babel.
The orthography of the past would seem to
have been constructed with a view to limit-
ing learning to the few. The present pub-
lic spirit did not then exist. The systems
of phonographic writing, which spell strictly
according to sound, regardless of old or-
thography, are becoming so indispensable
that confusion will be forced to yield to
simplicity. Etymologists and antiquarians,
who are tenacious of whatever is, will con-
sider it absurd to remove absursiities, yet
the scientific, simplifying process will go on.
The people and the press are gradually bet-
tering the rules of spelling, and dictionaries
only mirror the work.
To be well educated, in the present pro-
gressed day of the world, demands one to
know so much that more expeditious
methods than our fathers and forefathers
had, become imperative. How many mil-
lions of dollars would be saved, in the inter.
est of education, by simplifying the spell-
ing rules, has not yet been computed ex-
actly.
Spoiling Children.
Coddling, pampering, and gratifying every
wish of a child, is more the result of selfish-
ness than love. A love that cannot see fu-
ture good in present discipline, is both nar-
row and stupid. True love can deprive the
present minute of pleasure for future hours
of good and pure happiness.
I try so hard to make my children
happy,' said a mother, one day, with a sigh
in despair at her efforts. 'Stop trying,' ex-
claimed a practical friend at her elbow;
do as a neighbor of mine does.' And how
is that 9 she asked, dolefully. Why, she
simply lets her children grow and develop
naturally, only directing their growth pro-
perly. She has always thrown them as far
as practicable upon their own resources;
taught their* to wait upon themselves, no
matter how many servants she had, and to
consti uct their own playthings. When she
returns home from an absence, they wait
but one thing—their mother's kiss. What-
ever is bought for them is bestowed when
Ithe needed time comes. Nothing exciting
is allowed) them at night, and they go to
Ibed and sleep in a wholesome mental state
that insures restful slumber. They are
taught to love nature ; and to feel that there
is nothing arrayed so finely as the lily of the
field, the bees, and the butterflies ; that there
is nothing so mean as a lie, nor anything so
miserable as disobedience; that it is a dis-
grace to be sick, and that good health, good
teeth, and good temper comes from plain
food, plenty of sleep, and being good.'"
Let a child learn early that future good is
worth the sacrifice of a momentary pleasure
that will not bring lasting gain.
Sleep.
The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food, not because it is more
important, but because it is often harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from good sleep.
Of two men or women otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the more satisfactorily will
be the more healthy, moral and efficient.
Sleep well do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness, and unhappiness. It
will restore to vigour an overworked brain.
It will build up and make strong, a weary
body. It will cure a heedache. Indeed a
long list might be made of nervous disorders
and. other maladies that sleep will cure.
Sleeplessnees is best mired by a clean, good
bed, sufficient exereiee to produce weariness
pleasant occupation, good air, not too warm
O room, a clear conscience, and avoidance of
stimulants and anrcoties.
