“Ssy, tome iu here while I give you
a piece of advice,” said the grocery man
to the bail Imy, as (he youth entered the
grocery one cold morning, with an old
veteran from the Soldiers' Home, who
went up to the coal stove and rubbed
his hands, aud turning to the old vet¬
eran, the grocery man added, “No, sir,
you can’t have any plug tobacco, unless
you have got the money to plank right
down on the counter, and I had rather
you wouldn’t come here to trade any¬
way, because you look hard, and likejjto smell

the bad hgv in the hack end of the store,
aud said, “Yon want to let those oldsoi

the grocery man acted as if ho hail been

said:
“Yon and pa are a pretty crowd to go

“Yes, I see,” said the bad boy, “I boo
it all just as plain as can he, aud it is
my turn to talk, and I am going to talk.
The time is past when you need the
soldier. When you wanted him tostand

smiled when ho came in tho store, and

THE HO ME PHY SICIAN.
For a cut an excellent remedy Is
pipe-clay or dry earth, with some dry
lint over it, the whole secured by a
bandage.
If the arnica with which bruised
limbs are bathed is heated, its good ef¬
fects are perceptible much earlier than
if it is applied while cold.

severe cases, three to five drops on a

A FEVERISH thirst that cannot he
quenched by water may be thus allayed:
Throw a slice of bread upon burning
coals, and when it is all aflame throw it
into tumbler of water and drink off the
water. This remedy has been tested and
proven good.
A mixture which is said to be a sure
cure for undue perspiration of the
hands is made of a quarter of an ounce
of powdered alum, the white of one
egg, and enough bran to make a thick
paste: after washing your hands, apply
this; let it remain on your hands for
two or three minutes, and then wipe
off with a soft, dry towel.
A good cough mixture is made by
taking two ounces of balm of gilead
buds, tho freshest you cun procure, and
boil them very slowly in a quart of
water. Let it simmer down to one pint,
then strain it, and then add ono pound
of honey in comb, with tho juice of
three lemons. Let them all boil to¬
gether until tho wax in the honey is
dissolved. This has boon known to cure
a cough of long standing.
In case of a bad out the first thing to
he done is to notice tho color of tho
blood that flows from tho wound. If it

there is little blooding you can attend toit
yourself by tyingu largo handkerchief
above tho wound, cover the parts witli
lint and adhesive plaster and tio firmly
with a bandage. If the bleeding is ho
vere tio on tho handkerchief as tightly
as possible and send for a physician at
once.
A good digostivo candy for children
and dyspeptics sweet-flag is made from washing tho roots and

slicing them fine, then placing them in
a pan with enough cold water to cover
them, and slowly heating it over a stove
or tiro until the water boils. If tho
candy is to bo used rather as a sweet¬
meat than as a medicine, the rootB
should be treated four or five times in
this way, each time pouring oil' tho
water. To each two cupfuls of tho
boiled roots add a cupful and a half of

lieu Greeley Accurately Located Hades
Shortly after the passage of tho Four¬
teenth amendment, a movement in
which Mr. Greeley had taken consider¬
able interest, a large darky who had
called several times at the Tribune
office came into Mr. Greeley’s private
room while ho was busily engaged in
writing. Now, if there was any ono
thing that was well understood around
the Tributte office, it was that Mr.
Greeley was not to he interrupted in
the midst of his thought. When ho
was seen his to he busy, and with his his face running close
down to paper, pen
rapidly from left to right acresi his

hardihood to speak to him. But this
colored gentleman marched straight, up
to his elbow, and, with a large gokl
lieaded cane under his arm, and a fine
broadcloth coat buttoned close around
his breast, he broke right in:
“I say, Mr. Greeley, I thought I
would call and talk with you, sail, about

Mr. Greeley’s face assumed a nearer
proximity than ever to tho paper he was
writing on, and Iris hand kept going
across it from left to right with greater
rapidity than before, The cheeky
freedman was not to be put out of time
in this way. He therefore spoke again,

This is about the season of the year
when colds seize unsailpecting people,
aud bring in their train a very Iliad of
woes.
You leave home some bright sunshiny
morning, and find out, when you are
fairly started, that the sunshine is a hol¬

ravening all round, and ttvat your lungs
have been stabbed through and through found
by the blast before you lad hardly
it out. ■
A cold caught about this season ought
to be swiftly dealt witt, or it may run
on and take months to diake it off.
A day mid a night’s lome nursing will
often effect a cure, whlah, a month after¬
ward, may cost a good round doctor’s
bill.
Never neglect a cold. TKe attack may
not seem severe, but a cold is a cold, and
therefore an enemy to be looked after
with the greatest watchfulness.
There is no doubt that people wilfully
put themselves into positions which
court attack. Thin-soled shoes, thin
dresses, standing alioiit in draughty follies,
passages; these, aud smrilarother
all add to the number of colds which,
once contracted, take time and money
to break up.
If we could only trace back cases of
serious illness to tlieir origin, colds
would be found to be the initial trouble

k LITE AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD,
A Marvelous Dream.
Last summer I was “doing London” as
thoroughly as an American woman without
escort can, when one morning, after catching
prudent glimpses of what remains of CoUglas the "St.
Giles,” Immortalized by Hogarth or
Jerrold, and of the “Seven Dials,” I turned
into New Oxford street (which is topped by
^Tottenham court road and ends at Mudio's
Library). Walking along towards Holborn I
found myself Involuntarily stopping had before
one of the prettiest fronts I yet seen.
Naturally I looked up and saw above the
number 3 an {esthetic-looking sign against
the front (for projecting signs are inadmissi¬
ble In the great metropolis), on which I I read
“Dr. Pierce's Medicines.” At once gave a
little ejaculation of joy, and fairly rushed
Into the shop. Why! I had been during two
whole duys lamenting the awkwardness of a
railway porter, who, in my transit from
Southampton, after landing, had ao carelessly
handled my “box” (trunk is also inadmissible
In England) as to break not only my supply of
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Disco very, that I
had brought from New York, but all of his
Purgative Pellets (so advisable to ladies in
traveling) excepting a bottle I had in my
retioule. The clerk appeared to notice my
satisfaction as I looked around and Baw ft
portrait of Dr. Pierce, whose acquaintance I
had first made at a ball in the White House,
when he was Congressman from the fine city
of Buffalo, and saw pictures of its World s
Dispensary building and of its Invalids'
Hotel, in which I had been a guest-patient (as
well, let me add, as a patient guest) during a
course of treatment with World’s Dispensary
medicines, which had changed me from a
nervous, dyspeptic, fretful woman into the
cheerful and healthful traveler I now found
myself to be. The clerk was vastly polite aa
f told him what a surprise it was to me to find
that the boons of m.v iile tl.i.-o had found a
Bona in London. “Why,” he ini.-: : A
with a smile, "the medicines of which this Is
the European entrepot have won thousands
of gratelul patients as enthusiastic as you
scam to be.” Of course in a short time the
mishap with the railway porter was forgot¬
ten, aud, after giving an or . - or a new as
sortmenc of the “Goiueu Discovery and
"Pellets” sent to my lodgings in Bernal
street, I was again threading my way through
the London crowds. Fatigued with the day's
exercise and enjoyment I retired early to
bed, and with the pleasant incident of Oxford
street well to the fore In my mind as I fell
asleep. What wonder that I dreamed, or that
my fancies traveled across the A tlantic to
Buffalo and to the invalids' Hotel, which had
to mo the same grateful memories as the
church of her marriage has to the happy
wife. Al¬
1 seemed to be in a palace car between
bany and Buffalo, and tho newsboy had
brought me a copy of the marvelous book
sold freoly on all the trains, "Tho People's
Common Senso Medical Adviser,” by Dr.
Pierce, ex-8enator and ex-Congressman. I
was again reading its pages, expressed, as all
medical books for the people should bo ex¬
pressed, in “plain English,” and which is
full of everything relating to the ills which
flesh is heir to, so that the bemk may be
woll called the Invalids' Bible and tho Testa¬
ment for the already strong, who would keep
themselves always strong. The book, which
takes the child in tho crudlo through all the
Ills of nutrition and dentil ion; tin mother in
her agonies; the husband In his depressions:
tho and father shows each in his and sull'eringiytfbm all (aiweven tho overwork; practic¬
ing physician, who thinks he knows so much
and yet has always new things to learn) how
tho brain is weakened in functions, the lung
poisoned, the blood contaminated, the livur
made torpid, tho heart disarranged, tho
muscles made rigid, tho nerves shattered, and
tho tissues and absorbents infected with the
subtle polsous of excesses and malaria And
finally, the precious volume—tho veriest
gospel of health in this world—turns the
reader's attention to the Golden Medical Dis¬
covery, that, whether it is used upon the
pores of tho body or sent into the channels
of the body through the processes of
assimilation and digestion,immediately “cools
the brow and tempers tho brain, and maketh
the faint one strong again.” In my dream I
had arrived at Buffalo, given my book to an
interesting invalid of a girl who sat noar me,
and whoso modestly filled purse seemed to
forbid her the boon of the book albeit it was
so unusually oheap—Bix pages of the profuse¬
ly illustrated book tor each cent of its dollar
and a half coatl And 1 had been repaid by
her looks of gratitude. Then In my dream
tho once familiar sound of “ Dr. Pierce's
World's Dispeusary and Invalids' Hotel” was
heard from the healthy and attentive porters
awaiting the arrival of patients. Then I was
driven to the old plaeo with its revivifications
of architecture and comforts.
As I drove up I seemed to see the hotel in
a blaze of light, and heard music and the
sounds of happy voices and of lightly moving
feet. More surprised than ever before I was
taken in hand by a female attendant—as
bright-looking as these ever are in dream¬
land, and in a moment, as it seemed, was clad
in full evening costume, and soon, escorted
by an usher, was entering the great dining¬
room, transformed into a salon of reception.
At ono end In huge electric letters 1 saw the
words, “Welcome, restored old patients,"—at
the other end, “Dr. Pierce, the Hotel Found¬
er,"—in tho oenter of one long side, “Golden
Medical Discovery,” and along the ceiling,
also In eleotrlo letters, “Purgative Pellets.”
As soon as this ‘wonderful spectacle of
dreamland had become sufficiently natural¬
ized to ray dazed senses I looked around and
saw such happy congratulatory groups of as
made me think I was indeed in a phase
Paradise. With words of whiBpered assur¬
ance, the usher led me to the highest por¬
tion of the room, where sat a Cleopatra-like
woman of rare beauty and condescending
carriage. “Permit me, oh, Queen of Health,
to present to you another of your subjects—
sho who only a year ago was, without her
will, excluded from, but has now re-entered,
your dominions.” She placed her cool hand
in mine, the which as 1 kissed a thrill of new
delight ran over my veins, ami with a seeptro
headmt with a charmingly cut bottle of silver
oenring In monogram the letters “G. M. D.,”
she touched both iny eyes which seemed to
anew drink in the gorgeous sight around me.
"And now,” said tbo Queen of Health, “letme
presont you to m.v Prime Minister.” Timed
with her gesture to the right, I turned my eyes
and there saw. in evening costume, a robust
gentleman of medium stature, who was
tn physique the very ideal type of
American manhood. lie seemed the
very embodiment of healthful vigorous
vitality, and on his full lofty brow
I saw great Indications of comprehensive
mental power, sweet benevolence, unvary¬
ing courtesy, tender sympathy, and business
sagacity. He smiled and extended his hand.
When 1 recognized him in the instant, and
rushing impetuously towards him seemed in
my dream to say, “Oh, Queen, this my pre¬
server, my ever-to be remembered physician,
Dr. Pierce." He greeted me as warmly as I
greeted him. At this the music struck up
congratulatory chords in unison with the
beating of my heart, and he whisi>ered in my
“Mv beat delight (and to it I have given

Past Grand Masters of the Healing Art, who
best know who is conqueror of disease.” In
a moment Dr. Pierce was about bending his
knee in respectful obeisance to these ancient
Professors when a gesture from both ar¬
rested him, as with dainty but dignified mo¬
tions they piaced upon his head the laurel
leaves—each saying in a unison of musical
monotone, ‘ Thou art our legitimate suo*
cessor,. ” while a burst of orchestral acclaim
and a chorus of thanksgiving huzzas from the
quests arose. Immediately ahove this royal
and supernaturally looking tableau I saw in
pillars of rosy light those great words, tho
motto of the crowned Dr. Pierce, and which

Ashes to Ashes in Japan.
There are three large cremation
places in Osaka, and one of these I vis¬
ited the other (lay. It is situated near
the Kidsugawa, outside the city limits,
and is surrounded by a high wall. The
appearance of the place from the road
is similar to that of a temple, were it
not for the chimney, which towers aloft
about sixty feet. In the main crema¬
tory there are twenty large furnaces,
each capable of burning three bodies, so
that sixty corpses can bo reduced to
aslies at the same time. Operations
commence at 11 p. m., and by 3 o’clock
in the morning the process is complet¬
ed. Cremations do not take place in
the day. When I visited the place there
were five bodies awaiting cremation,
three grown-up persons and two chil¬
dren. It was then late, and no more
were expected. I was particularly
struck with the scrupulous cleanliness
of the cremation establishment .—Osaka
