almost any Drug Store.
Dr. Hunnicutt says: “I haye used the
Turkish Liniment constantly for last ten
years, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the
beat Liniment I have ever seen.”
Blood Tonic!
This great Blood Purifier was not learned
from a race of naked savages. Itis 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 incantations of wandering
Gypsies, or the senseless mumblings of nn
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, and 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 coaid
furnish thousands of testimonials. In the
reatment of Secondary Syphilis, Chronic
Rheumatism, 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.
TURKISH LINIMENT!
For the cure of Neuralgia, Rheumatism,
Toothache, Sprains, Burns, Stiff Joints,
Bunions. Contraction of the Muscles, etc.,
the Turkish Liniment has no equal. It
will frequently relieve headache in two
minutes. Saturate a piece of paper with
the Liniment, and hold it to the forehead
till it burns freely, and the headache will be
relieved nine times in ten. It is made of
■Camphor, Chloroform, Ether. Ammonia,
■etc., in concentrated form, and put up neat
ly with India rubber stoppers to prevent loss
of strength.
The money will be returned to anyone not
satisfied afterusinga bottleof this Limmeot.
It is unequaled aa a remedy in the treatment
of all diseases in Horses, where liniments
are used, such as Galls, Sprains, Bruises,
Cracked Heels, Windgalls, Sweeney, Fistu
la, Scratches, etc., etc. Price 25c and 50c

WOMAN’S WORLD.
PLEASANT READING FOR FEMI
NINE READERS.
Corean Laundry Women.
There are two stout sticks used by
Corean washerwomen to beat clothes.
Washing is an important industry in
Corea, where it takes many yards of cot
ton to make a suit of clothes for a man.
The washing is done as in Japan, in France
and other countries, by women who wade
into the water of rivers or creeks up to
their knees. After drenching the articles
to be washed, they beat them on the rocks
on shore with their sticks. In Japan,
where the same processes are followed by
washerwomen, these sticks or clubs, it is
said,are sometimes used bv the women to
assist them in asserting their supremacy
in the family councils.— Clothier and
Furnisher.
Old-Fashioned Beds.
Two hundred years and more ago the
beds in England were bags filled with
straw or leaves, but not upholstered or
squared with modem neatness. The bag
could be opened and the litter remade
daily. There were few bedrooms in the
houses of ancient England. The master
and mistress of the Anglo-Saxon house
had a chamber or shed built against the
wall that inclosed the mansion and its
dependencies; their daughters had the
same. > Young men and guests slept in
the great hall, which was the only notice
able room in the house, on tables or
benches. Woolen coverlids were pro
vided for warmth; poles or hooks on
which they could hang their clothes pro
jected from the wall; perches were pro
vided for their hawks. Attendants and
servants slept on the floor.
In Bloomer Costume.
There is at least one woman in Maine
who wears the “bloomer” costume, says
an Augusta, (Me. J letter. She lives in the
neighboring city of Hallowell. and her
name is Emmeline Prescott. She is a
tall, spare maiden, about fifty years of
age, of modest appearanre, and courte
ous in her speech. Her occupation is
peddling knick-knacks, which she car
ries with her in a black leathern bag.
She has been on the road a quarter of a
century, and has traveled thousands of
miles on foot. Although her figure is fa
miliar to everybody in these parts, still it
always attracts attention on account of
her rig, which she has worn for over
twenty years. It is made of drab-colored
woolen stuff, and consists of a short,
loose sack; a plain, full skirt that
reaches to the knee, and tight-fitting
pants that come down to the ankle. Her
toggery give3 full liberty to her limb3,
and she wears it, she says, not ofily for
comfort, but because she believes that if
every woman discarded petticoats and
draggling dresses, and put on suits like
hers, it would be better for their health.
Her hair is cut short like a man's, and is
parted on one side. The only thing
tbout her to distinguish her sex is her
head covering in summer, which is gen
erally a plain sailor hat of straw. In
winter she sports a fur cap, tied down
with a red worsted comforter, which is
entwined around her neck, with the ends
banging down her back. Every house
keeper knows Emmeline, and generally
buys some little trinket of her. Rumor
has it that she was once disappointed in
love. She is a strong Adventist.
“Mary."
The Chicago Fetes has this little essay
on the name of Mary, showing the re
markable associations connected with it:
More women have been named Mary
than any other name which has blest or
cursed the feminine sex. It stands as
the typical name of the holiest and most
abject of women—for the virgin and the
wanton. And in every language of Asia
and Europe, as well as’ that of Egypt,
this name appears almost without varia
tion. It has been an equal favorite with
the aristocrats of France and the Puri
tans of New England, and it equally be
comes literature or kitchen. It is stately
when we speak of Mary Wortley Mon
tague. it is simplicity itself when we re
fer to Mary O’Brien, who brings in our
breakfast rolls. At one time it may
bring up a picture of a divine painted
face, hanging in the rich gloom of an
Italian gallery, and at another of a red
cheeked dairymaid, with her bared feet
in the daisied grass. Two of England's
five queens have borne it, and the most
memorable woman that Scotland ever
produced has made it immortal.
The proadest women of France have
dignified it, and the worst women of
Rwssia have disgraced it. There are as
many Marys smiling at the circling suns
that make the brief summer by the
northern sea as 101 l through the luxurious
days by the Mediterranean. The name
that Catholic missionaries gave to the
first converted Indian maiden was Mary,
and perhaps the first daughter of every
family for all time will stand in immi
nent danger of bearing the name, for it
is the first to be considered in naming
girl babies, and when rejected is always
thought of with lingering tenderness.
How many lovers have loved it! How
they have associated it with purity and
gentleness, with womanliness and candor
and trust! What a fateful name it is! Its
bearer seems predestined to sorrow, yet
it is gladsome, too. “My mother’s name
was Mary.” Whit a p easant thing to
say! “My little dauguter Mary.” Could
mything be prettier? “My sister Mary,
who is dead.” What a wealth of tender
suggestions! “Mary, my wife.” What
i picture of home comfort!
Fa els about Dressmakers.
A number of quiet, neat-looking girls
were busy sewing upon some new goods
at a fashionable up-towa modiste’s, says
the New York Mail and Krjrrc <*, when
a reporter called. The head of the es
tablishment was dressed in black with
the utmost simplicity, when contrasted
strikingly with the brilliant dresses scat
tered around her.
“I have come,” said the reporter, “to
know something of the manner in which
women learn the dressmaking trade. Are
there any schools where the business is
taught?”
“I never heard of any. When anyone
desires to learn the business she goes to
a dressmaker and enters herself like an
apprentice at any other trade.
“Most women who learn dressmaking
expect to work at it for a living, I sup
pose?”
The modiste smiled as she answered:
“It is such a bother to learn it that I
don’t think anyone would go into it for
fun. Occasionally, it is true, ladies learn
in order to understand better the fitting
of their own dresses, but, as a rule,
dressmakers’ apprentices expect to gain
a livelihood by their trade.”
“How long does h take them to
learn I”
“Well, that depends on the student.
Generally a girl should master the trade
in one season. A good dressmaker
should have a quick eye for form and
color. She should be something of an j
artist in addition to having mere me- ■
(•bunion) skill. Most women know soma- 1
thing about sewing,- and have little diffi
culty in hemming and stitching, l<ut
when it conics to fitting, trimming, and
finishing dresses, where real taste and
judgment are required, the novice ofteu
finds a rocky road. Each dressmaker has
a peculiar way of finishing a dress, as
each tailor has of making a coat."
“What can a dressmaker earn after sho
has learned the trade:”
‘‘lt depends upon her skill and ability.
If she is smart she can get $2.50 a ifav
otherwise she may not get more that
$1 .50. That is after she has taken les
sons for one season. Foreladies, whe
superintend the work, receive an average
of $25 a week. They are women of long
experience in the trade. So far as dress
making at home is concerned, the paper
patterns manufactured by a number of
houses in this city have greatly simplified
matters. You see that chart on the
wall?”
“Yes,” he replied, “but I don’t under
stand it.”
“I don’t expect you to,” said th; lady,
“but any woman, with the aid of that
diagram and paper patterns, can be her
own dressmaker, although she may never
have taken a leison in her life. Of
course, anybody who intends to make
dressmaking a business must have the
aid of an experienced teacher. As with
many other trades, apprentices get no
pay while they are learning.”
“Is your business one that men ever
take up?”
“Oh, yes, there are male dressmakers
in this city?”
“Do they make more money than
women?”
‘ 'From $3 to $6 a week more. Men are
better than women at making waists,
which arc in some particulars like th;
coat you wear, but I never saw one whe
could drape a skirt properly."
Fashion Notes.
Canvas cloth has fronts of woolen lace
to correspond.
White woolen material has stripes of
colored plush.
Buttons are growing with the other
extremes of fashion.
Blue and brown is a favorite combina
tion for street costumes.
Camels’ hair serge with plush stripes is
shown in all the leading colors.
A wide sash of watered ribbon makes
the finish of a stylish lace costume.
New trimmings for costumes have a
combination of beads, braid and che
nille.
Fine seersucker, iu pale blue, pink or
ecru, is embroidered with edelweiss in
white.
Copper braid is used on outer garments
in place of either silver or bullion as be
ing newer.
Mikado parasols have the points turned
upward and are made of striped or em
broidered silk.
Cheviots with fine line checks in mode
colors are made up in walking suits w.th
jacket to correspond.
Soft beiges have figured borders of
contrasting or harmonizing tints. They
arc also plain and with bourette stripes.
Persian silk with overshot threads
that give a crinkled effect are shown in
all dark and evening colors. Some have
stripes of different colors.
White handkerchiefs are bordered
with hand-embroidered daisies in blue,
white or red. Handkerchiefs for mourn
ing have the daisies in black.
Lace costumes which were so popular
last season are to be worn very generally
this summer, and some French models
are particularly attractive and pretty.
“Stylish and ugly” are the terms
which no longer apply to the dressing of
the young lady of the period. This sea
son’s fashions are both graceful and ele
gant.
English styles in outer garments com
prise some large checks in cheviots.
These jackets are made as simply as pos
sible, fastened with large bronze or ivory
buttons.
Nuns’ veiling is in great variety; it has
crinkled stripes, or has a bourette or frise
surface, the loops being exceedingly fine.
The plain 6orts are finer than those of
last season.
Beaded grenadine forms a part of al
most all the dress wraps of the season to
come. These are not only beaded with
jets, but with bronze, plomb and cash
mere beads.
Lace gloves in all the pale evening
tints are among the new fancies. The
edges areborde.ed with beads or flounces,
and in black the effect is striking when
worn over a white hand and arm.
Anew style of plastron is made of
plaited jolted net. It ends in a point at
the waist, lastencd with loops of black
satin ribbon. It is edged with arrow
head beads and is finished with a turn
down Byron collar of jetted net.
Moire silk enters largely into the man
ufacture of many elegant costumes, and
not alone those of black. For moss
green, medium blues, light browns and
greys arc found in the richest moires, and
these form the trimming or whole under
dresses of woolen costumes in shades cor
responding.
A Washington Crank.
A Washington letter to the Picayune
says: One of the particular cranks in
vading the Senate lobby is a man from
Chicago who wants to revolutionize the
whole system of spelling and of learning
letters. He proposes to teach children
to pronounce the consonant letters of
the alphabet as they sound in the words
—that is, he would call w, “we;” s,
“se;”h, “lie;” f, “fc,” and so on, and
would, for example, spell “we,” “c,”
"ke,” “week.” He wants Congress to
appropriate a sum of money at the rate
of SI,OOO a week to give his project a
fair, trial. I went over to Senator
Palmer’s the other evening, and this man
was there patting the Senator through a
course of his new and improved a, b, c’s.
How eagerly the man talked; how hur
ried he was to say all possible in the
little time allowed him; how piteously
he entreated the attention of the ladies;
how he hung on to the Senator! It was
the old story of the claimant. Ob. you
can have no notion of the good and bad
leeches that come here hoping to bleed
the government, to make money from
Congresg and grow, fat on Congressmen.

The time is at hand
When all in the land
Reflect on a summer vacation;
When snow won't abide,

For seaside resort information.
Clorinda has now,
To circle her brow,
A charmingly clever new bonnet;
Quite stylish and neat,
And dashingly sweet,

Aud flirt win she then,
With a score of young men,
Not one of w hose names she’ll rerneiiler:

HUMOROUS SKETCHES FROM
VARIOUS SOURCES.
The Neighbor's Wish—A Woman's
Courage—They Always Bite-
Some Pungent Scotch Re
torts—The Prairie Chicken.
The other evening at a concert a long
haired pianist was accompanying his per
formance at the instrument with epilep
tic contortions. An old lady was carried
away with admiration.
“Ah, how grand it is,” she cried,
“you hear the noise of the canuon! The
city is taken by assault —they fight in the
streets—the soldiers are pillaging the
houses 1”
“Alas!” sighed a neighbor, “if they
would only carry away the piano, too!”
French Fun.
A Woman's Courage.
“War is a terrible thing. The first
fight I was in was the battle of Shiloh. I
tell you, boys, my heart was in my mouth
when the rebels commenced firing onus,”
said old Tommy Haylicld to visiting
neighbors.
“You were a coward, Tom,” remarked
Mrs. Haytield. “It would doubtless have
frightened me if I had been a soldier in
that battle; but it wouldn’t have scared
me till my heart jumpod into my
mouth.”
“Oh, I don’t doubt it,’’ retorted the old
man. “You are a woman, and a woman
never lets her heart get in her mouth.”
“Humph!” ejaculated the old lady, “I
suppose you think that the reason a
yoman never gets her heart in her mouth
s because she hasn’t any heart?”
“No, my dear,” replied the old war
rior, between whiffs of tobacco smoke,
“it’s because if her heart was in her
mouth she couldn’t talk.”
They Always Bite.
A good-looking, well-behaved stranger
had been stopping in a couutry town in
this State for three or four days, when
one day, as a dozen men were" hanging
around the hotel doors, a humble youth
with white eyebrows and lowered head
passed along, leading a calf. Both
traveled as if it were an every day thing,
but no one thought of this "until after
wards.
“Boy!” called the strariger from the
hotel steps, “what do you ask for that
calf?”
“Won't sell him.”
“How much does he weigh?”
“Nigh upon 100 pounds.”
“It can’t be. Gentlemen, I’d like to
wager that I can come nearer that calf’s
weight than any of you.”
A dozen citizens got up and walked
around the calf and squinted their eyes
and mentally estimated. Then a sort - of
pool was formed to scoop the stranger,
and $25 was contributed. There were
eleven guesses to his one, and they ranged
from 14 7to 158 pounds. He guessed 158$,
and when the animal was placed on the
scales the stranger was only two ounces
short. As ha raked in the pot and the
boy and the calf passed on, a man drove
up in a buggy and called out:
“This ’ere game has been played all
over the count}", and it’s time to move on
romebody! Where’s the villain?’’
“Hero I am,” answered the stranger.
“I arrest you! Get in‘o the buggy.”
His satchel was ready and he got "in,
and it was a whole’ day before the
villagers found out that - the man with
the buggy was a confederate employed to
do that very thing. —Detroit Free Press.
Pungent Scotch Retorts. '
Scotchmen are fond of an argument,
and delight to pick flaws in an opponent's
logic. Two blacksmiths were once con
versing as to which was the first trade in
the world. One insisted that it must
have been gardening, and quoted, from
Genesis, “Adam was put into the
garden of Eden to dress it, and to keep
“Ay, John,” retorted the other, who
had stood up for his own trade; but whae
made the spades?”
The reply recalls an old story illustra
tive of the pride of a Highlundcr in his
clan. A MacPherson aud a MacDonald
were disputing as to which of their re
spective clans was the oldest. The Mac-
Pherson, waxing emphatic in assertion,
said:
“Why, mon, aMacPherson went ashore
with Noah from the ark!”
“Well, that may be; but he found a
MacDonald there to tak him by the
hand!”
The Rev. Mr. Campbell, of Selkirk,
was much annoyed by the dirty water
flowing from a brewery near the manse.
He spoke to the brewer, a Mr. Haldane,
about the nuisance, saying it was con
trary to certain acts of parliament.
“Acts of parliament!” exclaimed the
brewer. “Acts of parliament, indeed!
It would be more like your profession if
you were expounding the Acts of the
Apostles.”
The minister, not unfrequer.tly, when
reproving nn offender against good
morals, drew forth a repartee which
amused him by its witty evasion of his
censure. Among the parishioners of the
Rev. Dr. Campbell, of Fife, was Janet,
an old woman who spun yarn for a liv
ing.
One evening, on returning from the
market-town, where she had sold her
yarn, and drank too much whLskv, Janet
encountered her minister.
“Oh, Janet,” said he, “I see you're
rather reeling.”
‘•Docd ay, sir,” she promptly retorted,
“ye ken we canna aye be spinning.”
The Prairie Chicken.
The prairie chicken is the leading
game bird inhabiting this region. It is
somewhat smaller than the ordinary do
mestic hen found scratching in the gar
den and flics faster when you are shoot
ing at it. It steins to have acquired the
fly habit early in youth and it hangs on.
After a hunter has shot $5 worth of am
munition into the limitless void from
whence the prairie chicken recently flew
he is seldom adverse to stating, for pub
lication if necessary, that in his opinion
its fly education has been far from ne
glected.
During this season of the year the
prairie chicken is engaged in looking the
ground over and chanting its low, capti
vating melody before breakfast. As soon
as the weather will jicrmit, the hea will
withdraw from the whirl of social life
and lay seventeen ashes-of-gum-shoe col
ored eggs in a nest in the grass. Seldom
awaiting to be asked she then takes her
scat ana for the space of three almanac
weeks seems to be lost in meditation.
Probably one of the most pleasing
sights in nature is a female prairie hen
thus buried in thought and speculating
as to how she will probably feel after
waiting three weeks for breakfast.
At the end of the time seventeen
young prairie chickens come out of the
•hella and commence to fly while the hen
gives up her sedentary life and swallows
a young and unexperienced grasshop
per.
August 15th the local paper announces
in the first editorial that “prairie chick
ens are now ripe.” This means that the
minions of the law will not talk about
arresting you if you shoot one on or after
that date. The prairie chicken is now
much wilder than before. As soon as
the sixty-dollar bird dog sits down vio
lently on the short and stunted rose bush
the chicken flies up. The experienced
hunter at this point shoots and brings
down the bird. The one who isn’t quite
so seriously charged With experience
blazes away and kills the dog. Also he
frequently arranges to have his
gun explode and blow off three of his
fingers.
Prairie chicken, properly cooked, is
much sought after by the epicure. Also
by the man who is pretty hungry. Asa
humble representative of the latter class
we have frequently overpowered large
and satisfactory quantities of cooked
prairie hen with the best of results.
The thoughtful student of current
events has probably noticed that this is
a far from perfect life. Thtre are draw
backs even to prairie chicken mastica
tion. There is the bird shot which it
bring; on to the table concealed about its
person. When coming down on tu a
piece of prairie chicken spare-rib with
both feet, figuratively speaking, it is
very uncomfortable to have a shot shove
a tooth into your jaw bone about an inch
and a half. After a protracted engage
ment with roast praiiie chicken seasoned
with No. 6 shot we have had our teeth
become so over-loaded with lead that
our under jaw has hung down like an old
boot sole ripped off clear back to the
heel. — Estelline (.Dak.) Dell.

Dr. Burney Yeo, of London, reports
the curious observation that there are

The codfish continues to grow indefi
nitely, without regard to age. so long as
it has a plentiful supply of food. The
oldest codfish are the largest, and they
sometimes grow to be as long as a man
is high. They swim about near the bot
tom of the sea, not often ascending to
the surface, feeding on all sorts of ani
mal life, such as crabs, shellfish and
other small fish, but not on vegetables.
Speaking of sudden deaths as the re
sult of mental anxiety or excitement, the
Medical Fetes sensibly says: There is no
treatment which wilt prevent this class
of sudden deaths, and physicians are
pnwerless to avert its onset. All they
can do is to advise a calm, unexciting
mode of life, with freedom from worry
and anxiety. Such advice is very easy
to give, but as difficult to follow as would
be a suggestion that it is not advisable tq
die at any given tijne,
In a report to the French acalemy of
sciences the 172 tornadoes recorded in
the United States in 1884, Mods. Faye
considers it established that there is a
definite portion of an area of low barom
eter most favorable to tornadoes. The
ignil service reporters are now endeav
oring to determine this “dangerous oc
tant” still more accurately. A memora
ble day in the history of tornadoes was
February 19, 1884, when no less than
forty-five were recorded in the South
western States, attended with a total loss
of 800 lives, 2,500 injured, 10,000 houses
and buildings destroyed, and 15,000
people left homeless.
A highly interesting piece of work is
at present being executed at the Berlin
Royal Academy, under the direction of
medical and artistic experts, the wax
model of a carefully prepared human
body of life size. From it a cast in zinc
is to be made, showing with rigid exact
ness the muscles, arteries and veins. An
idea of the nicety of the work may be
formed fiom the fact that thus far fifteen
months have been spent upon the head
alone, which is not expected to be fin
ished under three years more. The im
portance of the work for anatomical
studies, when completed, will amply
compensate for the trouble, time and
money spent upon it, which, when fin
ished, will be exhibited and bought by
the government.
A Man’s Fight With a Wolf.
A London Neict correspondent writing
about the fourteen wolf-bitten Russians
who were sent to Paris for treatment by
M. Pasteur, says:
One of the finest men I ever saw was
a peasant coachman in his prime, who, to
save a woman from the jaws of the wolf,
engaged in an epic, struggle with the
rabid animal. I did not know what his
antecedents were when he entered, and
was so struck with his quietly resolute
air and lordly carriage that I asked
whether he also was a nobleman in diffi
cult circumstances, lie saw the wolf on
the woman, and went up to seize it by the
scruff of the neck, knowing that if he
did so it would relax its hold to turn on
him. He meant to hold it in such a way
that it could not bite him until he or
somebody else could kill the brute, but it
was too quick for him, and caught him
by the left arm. He seized the neck with
the right hand, and getting astride on the
wolf, pressed it down with all his weight
on the ground, and then got a knee
firmly on its loins. • When the brave
Moujick coachman, with his left
arm all the time in the mid wolf’s maw,
was kneeling on the animal he saw a
hatchet and called to the owner to give
it to him, but the feeling of avarice pre
vailing in the latter, he cried, “No, no;
if Ido the skin ’will be spoiled.” The
unconscious hero then stretched out his
right hand to seize the implement, in do
ing which he had to relax the pressure of
his knee, which enabled the wolf to seize
the other arm. llis left arm was nearly
dead from pain, loss of blood, and inju
ries inflicted on the muscles, which are
badly larceruted, but he resolved that
either he or hi 9 rabid adversary should
peiish, and, making a supreme effort,
got it between his knees, with which he
held the body tight, threw himself for
ward, clutched the hatchet, half raised
himself, and with the left hand inflicted
such a blow on the neck and shoulders
as to cleave the body in twain. What
was remarkable in him was that he did
not :eeni to know he was worthy of any
sort of admiration. It is also note worthy
that his companions who described the
fight did not elect tho hero of it their
head man when they were coming to
Paris. His wounds wore hideous, and
the flesh of the right arm was in ruga.
