'Please excuse me, captain, but I ^would rather not,' 'Tale that rope.'commanded the captain 40 a sailor, Wand lay it on , that will teach him to obey orders. The sailor took the rope and beet the boy most cruelly. 'Tow drink that grog,' said the captain. '!'lease, sir, I would rather not.' Then go to the foretop and stay all night. The poor boy looked away up to ' the masthead trembling at the thought of spending the night there, but he had to obey. In the morning the captain, in walking the deck, looked up and cried,'Hello up there!' No answer. +Come down.' Still no answer. One of the sailors was sent up and what do you think he found? The poor boy was nearly frozen. He had lashed himself to the mast so that when the ship rolled he might not fall into the sea. He brought him down in his arms and they worked upon him till he shewed signs of life. Then when he was able to sit up, the captain poured out some liquor and said, 'Now drink that grog.' 'Please sir, I would rather not. Let me tell you why and do not be angry. In our cottage we were so happy but father took to drink. He had no money to bay us bread, and at least they had the little ;-house we lived in, and everything we had, and it broke my poor mother's heart. In sorrow she pined away—tilh at last, before she died, she called me to her bed- side, and said, 'Jamie, you know what drink has made oflyou father,; I want you to promise your dying mother that you will never taste drink. I want you to be free from the curse:that has ruined you fath- er.' Oh, sir,' continued the little fellow, 'would you have me break . the promise I made to my dying mother ? I cannot, and I will not do it.' These words touched the heart of the captain. Tears come into , his eyes. He stooped down, and folding the boy in his arms said, "No, no, my little hero ? Keep your promise, and if anyone tries -.again to make you drink, come to me and I'll protect you.' Tho captain was true ;to his word.— Boy's Own Paper.. . hail doubled. ,ince 1.88X. There - 'aro.

Dull, heavy headache, obstruc- tion of the nasal passages, dis- charges falling -from the head into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tonacious,Imucous, pulurent blood and putrid ; the eyes . art's weak, watery, and inflamed; there is ringing in the ears, deaf- ness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and has a nasal twang; the breach is offensive; smell and taste are impaired; there is a sen- sation of dizziness, with mental depression, a hacking cough and general debility. If you have all or any considerable number of these symptoms you an suffering from Nasal Catarrh. The more complicated your disease has be- e -eine, the greater the number and deversity of symptoms. Thousands of cases annually, with- out manifesting half of the above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the grave. No dis- ease is so common, more decep- tive and dangerous, or less under- stood, or more unsuccessfully treated.by physicians. Five hun- dred dollars reward is offered by the manufacturers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, for a case of catarrh which they cannot cure. Remedy sold by all drggists, at only 90 cents. \ Leading physicians recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Old and young take it with perfect safety. It cleanses the blood, strengthens the nerves, and vitalizes the sys- tem. Popular experience bas long placed this medicine at the head of tonic alteratives. COMMON SALT A REMEDY FOR ANIMAL POISON The Rey. J. G. Fischer, former- ly a missionary in South America, says he "actually and effectually cured all kinds of very painful and dangerous serpent bites, after they had been inflicted for many hours," by the application of com- mon salt, moistened with water and bound upon the wound, 'with- out any bad effect ever occurring afterwards.' 'I, for my part,' says he, 'never had an opportunity to meet with a mad dog, or .any person who was bitten by a mad dog. I cannot, therefore, speak from experience as to the hydro- phobia, but that I have cured serpents' bites always without fail, I can declare in truth.' Ho then sites a case from a newspaper in which a person was bitten by a dog, which in a few hours died raving mad. Salt was immediate- ly rubbed for some time into the wound,and-the person never ex- perienced any inconvenience from the bite. Mr. Fischer was in- t;uced to try the above remedy from aistatement by thleate Bishop Loskfell in his history of the Mis- sions of the Moravian Church in North America, purporting that certain tribes of Indians had not the least fear of the bites of ser- pents, relying upon the applica—' tion of salt as so certain a remedy that [some of thorn wc,uld suffer the bite for tho sake of a glass of rum.—Silliman's Journal. The growth in influence and nutber of the Salvation Army is truly marvel- lous, as the 1889 report issued from the headquarters of the Army shows. Ten year ago there were 125 corps with 190 officers. To -day they have 2,767 corps and 8,700 officers. Both in England, the home of the organization, and abroad the figures tell of unvarying progress. The army's property in Britain amounts to £400,000 and the value of property held in Canada and Australia is £220,000. In the work of rescuing young girls from wayward lives the army as been particularly successful, more than 2,000 being an- nually influenced] to forsake their old careers. The government of Victoria, Australia, assists the armyis efforts in this respect by a money grant. A work which has not so much interest for us( here, but must be of great importance where it is carried on, is the supplying of food and shelter to the poor of Lon- don. In one week 3,500 of the poorest men and women in London slept in their shelters and received supper and breakfast on payment of 3d or 4d. each. Since the food depots were established over 2,000,000 farthing, halfpenny, or penny meals were sold. The secret of how this was done without loss was the fact that they had practically an un- limited supply of labor at command. However great may be the differences of opinion as to the Army's methods held by those beyond the scope of its operations. it seems certain, to use the hackneyed expression, that the Salva- tionists have filled a long -felt want. "Like Magic," THE effect produced by Ayer's Cherry 1 Pectoral- Colds, Coughs, Croup, and Sore Throat are, iu most cases, im- mediately relieved by the use of this wonderful remedy. It strengthens the vocal organs, allays irritation, and pre- vents the inroads of Consumption; in every stage of that dread disease, Ayer's Cherry Pec- . toral relieves cough- ing and induces refreshing rest. "I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my family for thirty years and have always found it the best remedy for croup, to which complaint my children have been subject."—Capt. II. Carley, Brooklyn, N. Y "From an experience of over thirty years in the sale of proprietary medi- cines, I feel justified in recommending Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. One of the beat recommendations of the Pectoral is the enduring quality of its popularity, it being more salable now than it was twenty-five years ago, when its great success was considered marvelous."— R. 8. Drake, M. D., Beliot, Kans. "My little sister, four years of age was so 111 from bronchitis that we had almost given up hope of her recovery. Our family physician, a skilful man and of large experience, pronounced it use- less toive her any more medicine ; saying that he had done all it was pos- sible to do, and/we must prepare for the worst. As a last resort, we determined to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and I can truly say, with the most happy results, After taking a few doses she seemed to breathe easier, and, within a week, was out of danger. We continued giving the Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely well. This has given Inc unbounded faith in the preparation, and I recommend it confidently to my customers."—C. 0. Lepper, Druggist., Fort Wayne, Ind. For Colds and Coughs, take HORSE STEAKS. Over fourteen thousand horses are slaughtered for human food every year in Paris. When a horse becomes old and useless the French people are too economical to throw him away. They eat him. Horseflesh is eaten more or less in every community,but general, y under cover of something else. In Paris it is eaten openly. There are three horse abattoirs, and but- chers shops where nothing but horseflesh is sold., History would have had a bad opinion of Alexan- der had he eaten Bueephalus, but French soldiers eat their horses in every war. During the Crimean war, when the British soldiers wore starving, their French com— rades lived sumptuously;on horse— ' flesh. Hippophagists pretend that horseflesh is sweeter and finer in the fibre than beef, and pro- bably it is, but horses are only handed over to the knacker when they are emaciated old hacks. The horses killed in the Paris abattoirs are a set of decrepit old invalids, except a few that have boon disabled by accident. The Ayer's Cherry Pectoral J PREPARED 134 Dr. J. C.

TIP.1.414% Or A 8OOUN'UUEL l 44- It was Monday night in New York, The streets were crowded; while the crowd .rushes ou with that. restleas $weep, which make the life of a great city,' a marl drop- ped on the sidewalk a mass of rage and filth. The sight is. too common in New York to arrest the attention of the passer-by; only a drum!; --no- thing ,pore, call the police, and ring for the patrol waggon. Yet while the crowd gazed on the wrecked creature who wrestled with death on that muddy pavement, a soul was passing away black with every crime known to the human calendar. Twenty years ago men trembled at the name of Denny Brady or Jim Brady, as was the name he was best known by, the king of the masked burglars and river pirates, whose very name caused more terror to the villages and towns along the Hud- son and the Lower Bay than that of any robber of the century. Denny Brady was the (typical ruffian and thief. In his prime his strength was heaculear' and his disposition so naturally savage that his boldest companions in crime stood in fear of him. To incur his vengence was to court certain death, and no one knows the number of murders he committed. He was always armed to the teeth, and on the slightest provocation his murderous knife or his deadly pistol were brought into use. The plunder secured by the gang, which consisted of Dan Kelly, Pat Conroy, Larry Griffin and big Jack Daily, could not have been less than a million of dollars. From the Kensington Bank at Philadel- phia they stole one hundred thous- and dollars, having secured admis- sion from the janitor disguised as policemen, under the pretence of protecting the bank. One evening the family of a wealthy gentleman, near Tarrytown, on the Hudson, was seated at dinner when a man stepped into the room, his face cov- ered with a black cloth, and holding a cocked pistol in his hand. The host thought it was a joke, and in- vited the robber to pull up his chair and take dinner. He was soon un- deceived, however; tha entire fami- ly, was taken up stairs and locked in a single room, and assured if they made any outcry that they would all be murdered. The house was then looted, over nine thousand dol- lars in cash, jewels and plate were secured, and the robbers got safely off with their booty. The gang ter- rorized the towns and villages along the Hudson River for over a'year., and wear finally captured at a low drinking saloon on the corner of Canal and Washington streets, and were sent to Sing Sing for a term of twenty years. Brady got out a short time ago and returned at once to the low haunts of vice, but he was a marked man, so brutal that even brutes like himself feared him; be took to drink, and at last died in the gutter, with the cold wet paving stones for a pillow. His body was taken to the Morgue, and from thence to Potters Field, and thus in the lowest degardation and misery ends the life of one who lived by preying on his fellow men, who re- velled in ill-gotten gold and died the death of an outcast. ^f: .11 s3 a era 'yl a ft t' f <41'. tit ,r r pet �wtnr • A AfEW CP, eA�ii 71 I,RE The four greatest medical centres of the world are London, Paris.

The poverty stricken noblemen of Europe have been very cleverly tak- en in by a San Franciscan swindler. The victims number over 200.— They have been trapped by the fol- lowing advertisment, which appear- ed in several European newspapers: "Gentleman of position, noble- men cavaliers and officers of high standing (military or civil) who wish to marry very rich educated Ameri- can ladies, may put themselves in communication with the undersign- ed.

Address the Interna- tional bureau for private transac- tions, San Francisco,Cal.,America." The way hungry princes, dukes, barons and counts fell upon this bait must of staggered the ingenious con- ceiver of the enterprise. By the first return post they began sending in orders and giving specifications as to the kind of American heiresses they wanted. The letters contain- ing orders increased with each mail, till now they are pouring in. Yes- terday 40 ordinary letters arrived, besides a half dozen registered, con- taining the advance fees of those, eager and anxious to be fiast on the books in order to have their pick of the heiresses. Newspaper clippings describing our local heiresses, with a short pen sketch minutely portray ing their qualifications, together with their well known photographs, wore sent to the noble subscribers to the international bureau. The man who called at the post office gave his name as Ludwig Von Romayer and spoke with a German accent. The second time be called for his mail, letters written from the larger cities of northern and centralEurope wore handed to him. He was not permitted to take a lot of registered letters containing money until lie was properly identified by some reputable business man. When questioned the fellow gave a ficti tious address and was allowed to go, although be will be brought up with a round turn if be attempts to collect the nOIHMTRis re; stered let•• Vers at the ofiioe for him.
