I tried various, reinetlies prescribed w different physicians, but became SO weak that I could not _go up. staii*s -with, ent stopping to rest.

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 compounded. —W, F. Fowler, D. D. S., 'M.

I ryas under 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 purifier yet discovered. —IL D. Johnson, 3S3 Atlantic ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mau.

It was as elear as at, exti the fishes swimming around rnight have heeu taken for birds, I landed on a kind a sand hill when they lowered me, and had to walk about fifty feet down into a valley like before I struek the ahells. They were all in abiinch stretohed along in a 'ridge, looking like a bleolt mark against the white botteni. WAS dragging the hamper, and when I got alongside rbegan to toss them in. I reekon 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 1414. ' The next thing I knew I was standing on my head, rolling over and oyer, then yanked 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. W hat was it ? Why nothin' but one of those sea bats—blanket fish, the other men called it—and they all said I had a narrow run for it. That was their way, accordin" to their say, that the fish goes to work to get away with a man. They first settle down on you like a blanket, and there you are. There wasn't a man who would go down for several pays. Old men play balls and fly kites, while 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 would advance him a cent if he had a doz. en of daughters. The former is responsible 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 ?" Men wear long petticoats and carry fans, while women wear short jackets and carry canes. Boats are drawn by horses, carriages mov- ed by sails. 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. Massacre of Mutineers, children fol their arms and look on. Schoolmasters have more power over young than parents. If within three years' schooling the child is not morally as well as intellectually reformed he is sent into anoth- er school. Parents and spectators instead of the chil. dren are held responsible for crimes commit. 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- ple but few make applications. The perqui- sites of the founer, often more than tripllig the salaries of the latter, are the sole rea- sons of these differences. When a Chinaman expects a present and it does not come he sends one of lesser I value. To encourage honesty and sincerity, con- fidential clerks and salesmen in all branches of industries receive an annual net percent- age of the firm's business besides their re- gular salaries. 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 e governor shd1dbo dismiss- ed from his post The governor would mare no conditions, and at his order the soldiers fired repeatedly on the unprotected prisoners and kept up the massacre until the 'mrititioulg mob was levelled to the 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." Wo feu CHIN Foo. 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 impress one who has visited the best har- . ems, for they are one and all pictures of dirt and wanton extravagance. The only • great display is in the amount of rugs and jewelry. On the floors of the general romp for the women, or the private suites, it is always the same—cigarette ends, candies, nutshells, necklaces, gold -embroidered slip- pers and sashes, and in ehort all sorts of slit. order and dirt. And the women are always eating, smoking, or lolling about on the di- vans, A Duty Brigdet was not quite Prepared for. Brigdet, who has been sent to crack some nuts in preparation for Mra.

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, rm mean' to that thane. 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. ' Stanley on His Own Conversion. " I have been in Africa for seventeen years and I have never mot a man who would kill me if I folded my hands. What I want- ed and what I have been endeavoring to ask for the poor African* has been the good offices of Christians, ever since Livingstone taught me during aloof) four months that I was with him. In 1871 I went to him as prejudieed as the biggeet atheist in London. I was out there away from a worldly world.

By placing pieces of metal end to ,end under a forcible pres- sure, and passing an electrical current 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 blows or the application of other heat. 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. • It is much easier to act firmly, and beavely under a etrong, impulse than it is to -restrain an impulse when called upon to do so, Of all the &Attlee of life: There is nth', one that requites so inrush teal courage as that ailent battle with self whith every dutifal person finds it frequently necessary to wage, rOotiff ar the Liver be (SilleValitorill21Plas. 77: %)Q— S°°° U .
