Dr. Hunnicutt says: “I have used the Turkish Liniment constantly for last ten years, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the best Liniment I have ever seen.” Blood Tonic! This great Blood Purifier was not learned from a race of naked savages. It is no “In dian Medicine,” but a scientific preparation, carefully compounded from the very best Blood Tonics known to the medical profes sion ; nor is its claim to public confidence based on the wild inc&ntatipns of wandering Gypsies, or the senseless mumblings of an Indian squaw, It stands upon the accumu lated wisdom and research of nineteen cen turies. Since Moses proclaimed that ‘ The blood is the life,” the Medical Profession, in all enlightened countries, has studied, carefully, patiently and laboriously, the com position of the Blood? its tendencies to dis ease, nnd the medicines that make and keep it pure. The Blood Tonic is no secret com pound. Any physician can see the formula. We only claim for it the best known Blood Medicines carefully and scientifically combin ed. For more than a quarter of a century we have prescribed it with the most satis factory results, and if space permitted could furnish thousands of tefatiraonials. In the reatment of Secondary Syphilis, Chronic libeum&hsm, Scrofula, Pimples, Old Sores, Catarrh in the Head, Eczema, and all impu rities of the Blood, from whatever cause arising, the Medical Profession has never found a better medicine than the Blood Tonic.

SMITH’S LIVER TOSIC. Cartel* Cure fop Torpid Liver and Constipated Bowels. Dn. E. S. Lyndon —Dear Sir: I can never find words to express my gratitude to you for the incalculable benefit I have derived from the use of “Smith’s Liver Tonic.” For two years I suffered with Liver disease in the worst form, and never had any per manent relief until the first of last November when I procured a bottle of Liver Tonic. Since then I have used only two and a half bottles, and am entirely well. I have not felt a symptom oT the disease since taking the first dose. I had previously tried sev eral physicians and several other remedies, and all failed to affect me beneficially. Respectfully, E. ELLEN PATMAN Lexington, Ga., May 12. 1878.

APRIL 1(5.18&6.--EIGHT PAGES. THE SHAKERS. description of a settlement IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. Many More Women than Men—Silent While They Eat—Separate Stair rses for the Sexes— Their Songs. “ When I visited the Canterbury settle ment in New Hampshire a little over a year ago, * said a lady to a New York reporter, “I found three families, who live and are governed separately. They worship in one church in summer, but in winter, for convenience, occupy halls in their separate buildings. The family I visited was the first, or ‘church family.’ My daughter was with me. “We arrived in the evening at the society’s office. A cheerful looking woman, who we afterward learned was Sister Elizabeth, opened the door wide to our rather timid knock. She wel comed us kindly to a sitting room and bade us be at home. Her costume was like that of all of the women. A gray pongee gown, cut with a plain round waist,. loosely fitted her figure. The full skirt was plaited in small uniform kilt plaits. A large white handkerchief was folded about her neck and across her breast in some wonderfully pretty way, which I could never afterward imitate! A close little cap of lace, like a milliner’s bonnet frame, covered her blonde hair, which was combed straight back and fastened in a flat knot behind. The shaker costume, though ugly in itself, made Sister Elizabeth took very sweet. It just suited her quiet eyes, her gentle, smiling mouth and reposed manner. “The Shaker women wear a hoop of some contrivance which extends the skirt with a straight, gradual slope from waist to hem. It gives them a stately look. The women, with rare exceptions, are thin and pale, with a sober and sometimes severe countenance. We saw no plump, happy faces. Even the children look old and staid, and speak with a something which sets them apart from one’s sympathy. ‘‘l spoke of the women first, because they interested me most, and besides i they outnumber the men as five to one. They are remarkably refined and intel-! lectual for their class. The men, with the exception of the ciders and a few | others, are inferior to the sisters in all respects. They are, however, extremclv kind and courteous to the women. The sisters look after their wants with mother ly care, each of the elder sisters having charge of the clothes and general well being of one or two brothers. “The Shaker settlement is very pros perous in a worldly sense. There are va rious buildings belonging to the society; homes, a school-house, a workshop for the men, aud also one for the women and another for the children. There is a printing office, an infimary presided over by an elder sister, and containing a full equipment of drugs nnd medicines. I “Of course the mam support of the colony and its income is from the farm, which is large and under a high state of cultivation. It is well stocked with horses and cattle, but they do not raise either. Pigs there are none, and pork is Erohibited as unclean food. Some of the orses are fine stock. “The house in which we were enter tained belonged to the first family. It was large and square. The halls and staircases were on opposite sides of the house, one for the men and the other for the women. The floors were of dark wood, stained and polished. The doors and casings were stained a peculiar yel low throughout. Nothing poor or mean was used in either the furniture or dec orations. Everything was simple. In our room large, handsome rugs of soft wool, made by the Shakers, lay upon the floor. They resembled Smyrna rugs. In opposite corners were two white beds, and in another corner was a little cast iron wood-burning stove, plain and smooth. In it a fire crackled cheerfully. These stoves are in every room. The curtains in all the houses were most dainty and novel. They were of white linen, suspended by brass rings on a bright brass rod. 'When the curtains were down each side looked like a half open fan. “A tall, old-fashioned clock stood at the head of each staircase. The clocks are as old as the house itself—one hun dred years. Meals are served to guests in a room and at a table by themselves. This hardly seemed hospitable, but Sis ter Elizabeth explained that the Shakers always ate in perfect silence. The brothers and sisters sit on opposite sides of the table. “The children are well advanced in reading, arithmetic and particularly in mnsic and singing. Even the smaller children read music readily. The pro ficiency in music is owing to the fact that the teachers themselves have obtained the best possible instruction. The whole family, at times, when the farm work is light, drill in singing for two half hours daily. All sing, and it is remarkable how many fine voices there are. Their religious hymns and anthems have been written entirely by Shakers, and are therefore peculiar. Most of the hymns are choral, and are sung with great spirit.' Like the Moravian sacred songs, there is much repetition of words and music. “The Shakers show wonderful physical strength when they sing. They sit and sing, march and sing, and they kneel and sing endless verses, the last note al ways as clear and strong as the first. There is a ring of triumph and victory about the hymns, though many are tender and sweet. Singing is indeed worship with the Shaker. We attended a Sunday ser vice. In closing, they united in a hymn, repeating one verse many times; then, kneeling, still singing, they repeated it yet again. At last, closing their eyes as in prayer, they sang it for the last time very softly. These were the words: “Watching and praying I find you, Oh, my beloved, my own! Trusting a Fathers rich promise, I will not leave you alone— I will not leave you alone. Though through the desert I lead, Or apart in the mountain ye pray For strength in the hour of need, I never will answer ye nay— I never will answer ye nay. “ I shall never forget the looks of ex altation in the pale faces of the women, or the strange feeling of awe that came over me as I held my breath to catch the last faint lines of the hymn. “The service, which had consisted of a short scripture reading, a brief address by the minister, Elder Henry, and re marks by several members, was mostly composed of singing. Elder Henry Blinn, the minister, had a frank and open face, and was the spiritual head of the familv. He was very agreeable and cultivated, and an entertaining conversa tionalist. The women attended services bare-headed, except for the little lace cap, leaving their bonnets outside. They marched in, and all remained standing through the first part of the service. After the ssim-in they mure bod about In a sort of figure, singing and waving, or 'shaking 1 ' their hands, with upturned palms. ' There was uothiug indecorous or undignified about the movement. Their fervor seemed like true exaltation cf spirit and found full expression in their singing and in their faces.” Newspaper Advertising. I -liould judge, that the jrople of this country expend at least thirty times as much money in newspaper advertising as they did thirty years ago. The vast" in crease of population ana newspapers ex plains a considerable part of this, but it mostly comes from the more general and freer use made of the advertising col umns by the general public. All class: s have come more and more to believe that the newspaper is the most impersonal, self-respecting, and effective way of get ting before the public with what any one wants to say to it. Thirty years ago a man who should spend $2,000 a year in the newspapers would attract attention as a large adver tiser; now there are houses expending almost as much monthly, right along through the year, without attracting at tention. Mr. Robert Bonner, wnos undertakings in all directions have been, characterized by breadth, boldness, pre cision, and success, was the first to make the public familiar with large advertis ing applied in the most original manner, to buikl up the circula tion of his Ledger to a point never attained before or since by any journal in this country. Although Mr. Bonner’s largest newspaper advertising, was done twenty-fine years ago (for lie rapidly made his paper successful, and, having accomplished his purpose, cut down his expenses in that channel), still no one has come up- to the “splendid au dacity'’ of an order for an iusertion of an' advertisement to erst over $60,000. And yet in pecuniary matters he is a very ex act and careful mam It agrees with my experience that news paper advertising is profitable. As I look back over the considerable number of those whose advertising I have done I do not recall a single one who judiciously, pcrsevcringly, and freely pushel good articles, of whatever kind, in the news papers, and did not make at least a fair success, while a great many have gained ample fortunes. I will not mention names in support of this statement, as I could easily do, but the list is a large one. Indeed, it has been my observation that it is easier for large advertisers to make money than to keep it. Often it comes in so fast that the head gets turned’ and lavish personal expenditures and un profitable mvKstments swallow up the fortunes which, had they been longer in making, would likely have been more permanent.—J. H. Batek. The Pigs and the Weather. Of pigs, I have heard it said, very fre quently— “ When swine carry sticks. The clouds will play tricks but that- - “When they lie in the mud, No fears of a flood.” first of these couplets is of twofold interest. I have watched them for years, to see what purport this carrying of sticks and bunches of grass might have, and have only learned that it has noth ing whatever to do with the weather, or at least with coming rain-storms. The drought of summer Is so far a conven ience as to throw* light upon this habit, as it did upon fhe uneasy cows. Pigs carry sticks as frequently then as during wet weather, or just proceeding a shower. Furthermore, these gathered twigs arc not brought together as though to make a nest, but are scattered out in a per fectly aimless manner. For some cause, the animal is uneasy, and takes this cur ious method of relieving itself. The pro babilities are that it is a survival of some habit common to swine in their feral con dition, just as we see a dog turn about half a dozen times before lying down. In an interesting paper on local weather lore, read by Mr. Amos W. Butler be fore the American association for the ad vancement of science, during the Philadel phia meeting of 1884, the author has an other version of this saying: “Whenhogs gather up sticks and carry them about, expect cold weather.” This is wholly at variance with what I have observed, for memoranda record this almost wholly during the hot weather, and this must necessarily be the rule with New Jersey swine, or the local weather prophets would not have coined the verse as I have given it. As to the couplet, it is about as near meaningless as any saying can well be. Some rustic rhymer, a century ago, may have added it as a piece of fun, but it Ins stuck most persistently. As it stands now, it has stood for quite one hundred years. —Popular Science Monthly. Pies and Civillzat on. Henry Ward Beecher is credited with a remark to the effect that pie is the great sign of civilization. “Where there is no civilization,” he says, “there is no pie; but where you find civilization there also you will surely find pic. “This is undoubtedly true,” said a gentleman who ought to know, he being connected with one of the largest pie bakeries in the city. “At any rate, in Chicago, one of the world’s greatest cen ters of civilization, you find pie in un limited quantities.” “Last year we made and sold 1,583,- 842 pies of all kinds, and now can turn out, if nec-es-ary, 12,000 per day. Apple pie is the favorite, closely.followed in the season by whortleberry and in the winter by mince. Cranberry pie is also a great thing in winter, and pumpkin, squash and custard arc in great demand. With the exception of apple pies, which are good all the year round, the people de mand as complete a change of pie as they do of clothing. ‘ ‘The pie business is. a great institu tion. We have eighteen wagons out all day long, and our bam contains forty five horses. Orders are taken by our salesmeu from their customers for the next day’s supply, and the pies are, so to speak, cooked to order, so that no stale ones are left on our hands. We employ about thirty-five men and girls in our factory, twenty-five of whom board in a house we have erected for that purpose on the premises.” —Chicago Ihraid. A Blade of Grass. “Gather,” says Ruskiii, “a single blade of grass, and examine for a moment, quietly, its narrow, sword-shaped strip of fluted green. Think of it well, and judge whether, of all the gorgeous flow ers that beam in summer air, and of all strong and goodly trees pleasant to the eyes or good for food, there be any by God more highly graced, by man more deeply loved, than that narrow point of feeble green. Consider what wo owe to the meadow grass, to the covering of the ground by that glorious enamel, by the companies of those soft and countless and peaceful spears.” Learned men tell us that in Latin the word editor means “to eat.” In United State# it means to scratch around like blazes to get something to eat. — Dun*- piUt Jheau. POPULAR SCIENCE. A butterfly—a creature supposed to Hve at most only two or three days—was last year kept alive in a glass cage in Eng land for 121 days, its age at confinement being unknown. A well-known writer tells of seeing thousands of small fish migrating across land from one lagoon to another, in tropi cal America. He says they moved as deliberately and as unconcernedly as though they had been accustomed to the overland route all their lives. Experience on French railways has shown that the double poppy is the best plant at present known Jor consolidating, by the interlacing of its roots, the loose soil of an embankment. The usual grasses and clovers develop slowly, but the double poppy grows enough is two weeks to give some protection to the slope, and within three or four months its roots, ten or twelve inches long,, retain the earth far more firmly than those-of any grass or grain. With a lens made of rock salt it may be possible to photograph in the dark! The Photographic Nmr.< states that Abncv has succeeded in preparing plate; which are sensitive to the rays lying beyond the red end- of the spectrum—the dark heat rays—and with such plates used with a rock salt lens there should be a possibility of photographing bodies which possess a high temperature, although that tempera ture may be far below that needed; to render them- self-luminous. There can be little doubt th: tt the piki is decidedly an exception to the rule thui fish have little or no intelligence. Even the size of his brain is worthy of respect. Its proportionate size, as compared to the rest of the body, is as 1 to 1,300; in the shark, whose intelligence has so often been vaunted, it is only as 1 to 2,500; while in the tunny it is but as-1 to 3,700. The only thing that dulls the pi Ice'slntel- i ligencc is his greed; but even this may perhaps only be caused by an over weening confidence in his own gastric juices. Like many other voracious ani mals, to swallow seems to be- his only, joy;, palate he has little or none. Anew American process for rapidly drying timber, hides, wool, grain, and other substances surcharged, with mois ture, has been attracting considerable at tention in Englaud. It is-called the cool dry air process, and consists in passing through thechamber containing the mois ture-laden material a continuous current of furnace-dried air having a temperature between eighty and ninety degrees Fah renheit. The moisture is absorbed by the ail- in so remarkable a manner that oak logs are reported to have been fin ished in nine days, although natural dry ing would have required three or four years. The temperature is- so moderate that.delicate fibres, fabrics and chemicals are not injured. A curious feature of the National mus ! eum, in. Washington, is the zoological i section, or the department devoted to birds’eggs. It has about 42,000 birds’ j fggs. packed away in little trays placed in cases along the walls of the building. The eggs in the collection vary in size from that of the tiniest humming bird to that of the giant bird, whose remains are found in Madagascar. There is a little egg of a tiny humming bird lying in a diminutive nest. The humming bird that made the nest and laid the eggs is the smallest bird in the world. The lit j tic egg has a length Or long diameter of I three-tenths of aft I rich, and a short di ameter of three-hundredths of an inch. The nest is one-twentieth of an inch across, one wav, and ninety-two- one hundredths the other. Fifty Tears Ago. A stray copy of the Christian Advocate and Journal and Zion's Herald gives a strange glimpse of the world in 1832. It is dated August 10. Cholera raged in New York, and carried off one hundred persons a day. A subscriber in Edin burgh, Scotland, complains of the postal authorities, who so detained his papers that seven copies came to him at once, for which he was charged £1 11s. lOd. postage. A little colony had daringly departed for “the remote river of Ore gon,” by wayof Vera Cruz and Acapulco. The report or a fight in Texas stands un der the heading “Foreign Intelligence.” Tie paper has several allusions to “the ente prise of modern times;” and con denses a report recently published by Congress “on the use of steam-carriages on common roads.” Anew vehicle is described, in the use of which accidents from explosion are impossible; and the report closes with the statement that “railroads, except in very peculiar situa tions, are behind the age,” and the “de cided opinios” that “those who embark capital in constructing them will be great losers.” But the changes indicated arc not all secular. The contributions re ceived by the treasurer of the missionary society during the preceding week were $53.27(1), and among other articles pre pared for the edification of the devout is one entitled “To Pious Dealers in Ardent Spirits.” —Christian Advocate. Origin of Social Games. The city of Salem, Mass., is celebrated for her witches, and their persecutors, and her East Indian commerce in the past; and for the Indian museum and “oldest church” at the present day, and to these we may add the honor of pub lishing the first modern social games that achieved any considerable popularity in this country. In 1843 Miss Annie W. Abbott, of Beverly, a clergyman’s daughter, offered tor publication to Mr. 8. B. Ives, of Salem, anew game of cards which she called “Dr. Busby.” Although .he price asked was very low, there was no recognized demand for such merchan dise and the manuscript was declined, but. later Mr. Ives decided to undertake its publication, which proved an immense an 1 unexpected success. This game will be remembered by many of the parents of the present day as among the earliest ever learned and po sibly played at first on the sly, fearful of a reprimand should the report reach headquarters that they were “playing cards.” —Good Housekeep ing.

A CATTLE ]UN<TI. i LIFE Of THE COWBOYS Wtto GUARD THE HERDS. The Process of Rounding Up thr Cattle—A Night Stampede of Catflfe- Haring a Theodore Roosevelt, wbo has a cattle ranch near Medora, on the: Northern Pa cific railroad says: “The cowboy is not sympathetic, I am sorry to say. If a man cannot ride a horse, he gets little comfort whe* thrown to the ground. The cowboy (Brides hu manity into two classes, the sheep-and the goat#, those who can ride bucking horses and those who can’t. He doesn’t ear* much for the goats. At the round-ups and daring hard periods of work theeow boy is generous, full of good-fellowship and brimming over with courage. “The great round-ups usually occur m the spring. All the cattle in a certain section are gathered together, separated and branded. This is where the hardest work comes in for the cowboys. My round-up extends along the Little Mis souri river for about is about twenty-five miles wide. Each ranch owner has a wagon and relays of horse* for his cowboys. In prosecuting the ar duous work some sixty or a hundred cow* boys are in the great drive and each ha* seven or eight horses. The wagons with the loose horaes move down the river soma six or seven miles and establish a camp there for th* day and night. Then these hundred or so cowboys stretch across the cattle region and drive toward the camp. The line usually converges to a given point, driving all the cattle into the se cured section. The bunch of cattle gath ered are then watched or held together during the night by a few cowboys. The rest go to- bad after eating dried pork and beans, The bed to which they retir* is very primitive in construction and ii frequently th* bare ground. About 3 o’clock in the morning the voice of the cook can be heard: ‘Time for breakfast, boys; turn out.’ Then there is bustle until the mount is made for the day’s drive. Sometimes one cowboy will use four or Jive- horses in one day. He not only has to gallop nearly all the time, but frequently put his horse at full speed. “What they all dread is the blizzard at night, which frequently causes the cattle to stampede. I remember the last round-up. We had all turned in for a good- night’s rest. About midnight the alarm was sounded for us all to turn out and mount. The fierce blizzard was sweeping down upon us; rain, hail and wind# There were about 2,000 head of cattle in the bunch. It was a wierd sight. The boys, with waterproofs on and hats drawn down, were seated like specters a few feet apart, just in front of the herd, with their backs to it. The dark bunch of cattle were as close as they could get to each other, their long horns striking together like castanets and their tails pointed to the wind. The bunch was fan-shaped. “In front the cowboys spread out far enough to overlay either flank of the bunch. When the cattle would get too restless the cowboys would turn their horses and try to drive them into the bunch. The blizzard increased in fury. There was a mad bleat from the terror stricken animals. The cowboys whooped and made one desperate effort to keep the bunch together. It was like rushing against the dashing waves to keep them back. Roaring, with tails erect and nos trils distended, they broke through the cordon and rushed on in every direction with the fury of the wind and the storm. Each man was for himself then. With spur and whip, over rough ground, in the darkness, lit up by great sheets of lightning, we dashed after, each cowboy "selecting a bunch and following it until day. The bunch I followed carried me seven or eight miles from the camp. When I drove it back the next day I had to saddle a horse and start again. I was thirty-six hours in the saddle. Just that experience cenvinced me that the cow boy’s life was not a path strewn with roses. It might be supposed that many accidents take place in stampedes and cutting our cattle from bunches. I only remember one that was fatal. The cows and calves have to be cut out every even ing from the main bunch and put in a corral, where the calves are branded. Cutting out is hard work. A cowboy rides in the herd and slowly drives the cow out. When he gets her separated, then he dashes at her and drives her away as rapidly as possible. Frequently the cow suddenly turns and rushes back. If the cowboy is on a trained horse, it turns, too, without guiding, and heads off the cow. One of the cowboys was cutting out a wild cow riding at full speed. Cow, rider and horse went against a steer, rolled over, and, well, the neck of the cowboy was broken. I rode up and looked at Mm, as did the other cowboys. ‘He was a good'un;’ ‘Never Hunkered;’ ‘Dead shot;’ ‘Dead honest,’and ‘Sorry he is gone,’ were tha eulogies passed by the cowboys. They see a good deal of this thing, and of course cannot give much time to bewailing the many fatal ties that occur. When cows and calves are put in the corals the branding be gins.” Horrible Treatment of Children. Some horrible disclosures just made at Chalons, in France, ought to remind those who are in the habit of bestowing charity on child beggars in the streets that too frequently they are, in point of fact, giving money to and encouraging infamous characters who martyrize the helpless children in their power. The at tention of the police of Chalons was lately attracted by a little boy with one arm and another phild, a cripple, wheeling himself about in a small wooden box. Both children appeared so utterly miserable and pain stricken that they were taken to the sta tion house, where they told a sad story of suffering. About three years ago, it transpired, the boys, who are cousins, aged respectively eight and ten years, were living with their parents in Barcelo na. While returning from school t ogether they were accosted by a man and woman who enticed them to the railway station and brought them to Perpignan. There, and subee |uently at Chalons, one of the boys was made onc armed, the other a cripple, the limbs it was requisite to suppress being bent and strapped up in a most cruel manner. After a time the little lad who wheeled himself about in the box was cut about the loins with a knife, corrosive liquid being poured upon his wounds. His logs were further attenuated by ropes tightly wound round them; in short, for upward of two mouths the little martyrs were operated upon daily, and success having attended tho horrible process they were sent out to beg in the streets of tho vari ous French towns. —ltrooklgn tingle.
