Blood Tonic!
This great Blood Purifier wae not learned
from s 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 incantations of wandering
ales, or tbe senseless mumblings of an
n squaw. It stands upon tbe 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 tbe 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 could
furnish thousands of testimonials. In the
reatment of Secondary Syphilis, Chronic
Rbeumadsm, Sprofula. Pimples, Old Sores,
Catarrh in the Head, Eczerfia, 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 tbe 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 bums freely, and the headache will be
relieved nine times in ten. It is made ot
Camphor, Chloroform, Ether, Ammonia,
etc., in concentrated form, and put up neat
ly with rubber stoppers to prevent loss
of strcnjJHi.
The money will be returned to anyone not
satisfied after using a bottleof this Liniment.
It is unequalcd as a remedy in the treatment
of all diseases in Horses, where liniments
are used, such ns Galls, Sprains, Bruises,
Cracked Heels, Windgalls, Sweeney, Fistu
la, Scratches, etc,, etc. Price 25c and 50c

SMITH’S LIVER TOXIC.
Certain Care for Torpid Uver end
Constipated Bowels.
Db. E. 8. Ltnbon—Dear Sir: I can never
find words to express my gratitude to you
for the incalculable benefit I hare derived
from the use of “Smith’s Liver Tonic.”
For two years I suffered with Liyer 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 of the disease since taking
the first dose. I had previously tried sev
eral physicians and several other remedies,
end all failed to affect me beneficially.

Fashions for Girls.
The present fashion for girls from two
to sixteen years of age are exceedingly
tasteful. They may be simple and severely
pan or as picturesque as possible.
Quaint frocks, copied from those worn
by the German peasant children, and
wh:eh, a few years ago, were ridiculed
by all beholders, are now first and fore
most for little girls. Frocks to be worn
over guimpes have the bodices made
with bretellcs, laced revers and in the still
popu.ar gretchen fashion. Dresses for
older girls are made with Norfolk jacket,
yoki and belted bodices, (iris from
two to five years of age wear the pretty
y ike slips that are so practical. These
dresses are made of plain and 6triped
zephyr. The igng jacket bolice and
plaited skirt are of the striped material,
while plastron, scarf, cpliar and cuffs are
of the plain zephyr.— Jfeu York Com

White Hands.
bite hands are coming in fashion
again, lawn tennis, boating, and all the
masculine accomplishments having for a
time induced women unnecessarily to
redden their hands. Chapped and red
hands are never pretty. The daughters
of fashion now havedishes of hot water,
shaped like a flower leaf, on their toilet
'tables, in which they steep their hands
for a while before going to bed, then
anoint them w.th vaseline and put on
gloves lined with a preparation of cold
cream. These gloves should be of wash
leather, and several sizes too large for
the hand. Iu the morning wash the
hands with almond powder in water, and
in hot water at that, afterward dipping
them for a moment in cold water to pre
vent chapping. Then rub them—from
the finger tips back to the wrist. If a
manicure is not brought in for the nails
an ivory instrument should be used for
the pushing back of the skin from the
root of the nail, and each nail carefully
trimmed with a sharp knife, then rubbed
with a soft pad of chamois skin,— Cou

The Wives' Side.
In all the vigorous efforts now being
put forth throughout the country for
more wages and less work, why is it that
the wives’ side of the question is so little
considered? The next time a procession
of laboring men on a strike parade your
streets, just hunt up their wives and ask
them about their work. They will tell
you that they rise at 5 or half-past in the
morning, get their husband’s breakfast,
get the children off for school, do the
washing, ironing, baking, sweeping and
scrubbing, rare for the " little ones, get
dinner, do the hundred odd jobs so nec
essary to a pleasant home, yet of which
the husband knOs nothing, and then
their sewing and mending till 10 or 11
o’clock at night. They work oror hot
stovesin summer, and in cold rooms in
winter. Sickness even brings no release
if they can possibly compel their wearied
bodies to perform their appointed tasks.
Sunday’s work is but little less, and
Thanksgiving and Christmas mean extra
cares.
Week after week, year after year, with
only an occasional afternoon or evening
respite, the work goes on. What do
these women know of leisure? What
chance have they for self-improvement,
for true growth 1 What compensation
do they receive for such a toilsome life ?
Cheap food, poor shelter, poorer clothes.
And what do they think of strikes ? How
many would there be if they were con
sulted ? Few, very few. Having been
forced to a life-long study of the subject
they generally understand economy bet
ter than their husbands. They know
that half a loaf is better than none, and
they realize that no work means no pay.
They know, too, that the burden of re
duced expenses must fall most heavily
upon them. When the income grows
smaller they are told they “must econo
omize.” How can they do it ? Not by
reducing the expense of the table. Oh,
no! their husbands don't mean that. It
mart be done by denial of self and little
ones. The already shabby clothes must
be worn another year. There must not
be one concert or lecture, and not even
one day’s excursion to the woods or sea
shore. Fuel must be used most sparing
ly, when the husband is not at home,
and not one cent must be spent for that
which is not a genuine necessity. Mean
while the husband goes on with his
smoking and beer drinking. If the
strikers gain their point, how long will
it take them to make up what they lost in
days of voluntary idleness ?— Plainfield,
( Conn .) Home Friend.
New Trades for Women.
There was a call lately, says a writer
in lAppincott'a , for anew trade, adapted
to the complexities of the modem city
house—that of the universal tinker.
Now, with an extension of the same idea
into the woman’s kingdom, acorrespond
ent sighs for a neighborhood darner.
Most of us would agree as to the con
venience; but the correspondent was not,
perhaps, aware that the system recom
mended is in practical operation in Paris. i
In the family where our home was when
there, punctually one day in the week
came la rnccommodeusc, and, having been
established in a back room and given
.a cup of coffee, set to work on the ruin
three children and an impatient man had
wrought. She had for her pains her
imeals and twenty cents a day; and she
had a clientele of nearly a dozen fam
ilies, from whom she drew occasionally
something beyond the daily franc. To
some she gave but half a day; but mat
ters were so systematized that she was
rarely without work. Very convenient
the American boarder found her for the
ripping and cleaning of old gowns and
the darning of hose, which, in her devo
tion to the monuments of Paris, she had
no time to touch.
bince the reign of bric-a-brac set in we
have professional dusters in the cities. It
should be .comparatively simple to intro
duce also professional menders. Per
haps a difficulty would arise as to the
amount iff payment, since the women
who mend for their families do not roll
in wealth, .and even fifty cents a day
might seetn to them extravagan.c. An t
the sewing-woman who drags her life
out on the same sum, boarding herself,
would probably scorn less. But, once
f riven her patrons, she might find her
ife both easier and more healthful; and
the tired housemothers, seeing the econ
omy and the relief, would wonder why
they did not do it before. Under the
present system the thrifty women fret
and tire themselves over the endless task;
the sentimentally philanthropic and the
unthrifty give awuy, to tins increase of
poverty oiteu; ami the old clo’s men
profit by the improvidence of the bach
elors and husbands.
A little more co-operation everywhere
would lighten women a work. Here, for
instance, in a town of 2,090 inhabitant*,
one woman for years made her pin money
by the wgefcly brewing of for her

Fashion Notes.
Bonnets continue to be small and close
in shape.
Pearl ball buttons r.re used for nearly
all thin summer dresses.
Velvet flowers of the most gorgeous
sorts appear on straw bonnets.
The fringe of hair over the forehead
should always be slightly curled.
Black, dark brown and navy-blue
hosiery are worn with walking cos
tumef.
The wearing of wavy curls resting o~
the neck is restricted to very youthful
ladies.
Giaeeful head wraps are made of
pina silk with an edging of silken tassels
tied in.
The short-hair craze has passed away,
and seems to have been a whim of the in
dolent.
Black silk hosiery is worn with even
ing toilets and with light dresses of every
description.
Many of the new sunshades show bou
quets of jonquils or daffodils tied on with
black ribbons.
Yellow velveteen, yellow corduroy and
yellow plush will be utilized in this sea
son’s costumes.
Square crowned leghorn hats with a
wide brim are the most fashionable hats
for little children.
Flowered waistcoats will be worn with
black costumes this summer and are con
sidered very ‘'chic.”
Dull leather will supe-cede patent
leather for walking boots. Heels are low
and the toes less pointed.
Mat beads and plomb in a trimming
us don an India foulard of dark gray
make a charming combination.
The great novelty at present is shaded
siciljennes and velvets. They range from
the darkest to the lightest hues.
Frogs are very stylish on all summer
dresses, and a:e used for the fastening of
the corsage as well as the outer wrap.
Beaded net i now used for the under
dress of thin black costumes; the corsage
is of the same fabric of beaded material.
A white parasol with an edge of wide
lace of some delicate kind is the prettiest
possible accessory to a dainty summer
toilet.
The black and white striped satins
over which Paris went so wild last year
have come, and bid fair to be popular
here also.
Charming and becoming as well are
the little mull poke bonnets which prom
ise to be very much worn during the
coming summer.
The new foulards are stamped with
fine designs. Heliotrope and red grounds
will have bunches of small mushrooms
and ferns, as well as many other tiny de
signs.
Some of the silks for summer wear
have alternating stripes of lace grena
dine. Moire antique and satin have
stripes of close fringe woven in the ma
terial.
There is a novelty in bordered stuffs in
double-width woolens that have gradu
ated stripes down half their widths,
with the other half of the breadth in
plain color.
Strange as it may seem, grenadine
comes again as a summer dress goods;
it is much more appropriate for winter,
and wou'd be much more effective com
bined with velvet or satin than in any
other way.
Crocodile cloth shows irregular mark
ings like those seen in aligator skins,
and is one of the new fabrics suitable for
Southern spring dresses. It is all wool,
of very light weight, and may be had in
a single color.
The wool costumes most popular are
tailor-made, or those which must pass for
“tailor-made,” though made by dress
makers and embellished by their charac
teristic ideas. Since the primary object
,of the strictly tailor-made suits was sim
plicity and elegance of the quietest order,
these embellishments seem out of place.
Common Errors.
Nine newspapers out of ten, and ninety
and nine persons out of a hundred, when
they epeak of “Congress” mean the
Lower House alone, and call a Represen
tative a “Congressman.” The Senate
and the House taken together constitute
the Congress, and a Senator is as much a
Congressman as a Representative is. A
like confusion of terms exists regarding
the words “minister” and “ambassador.”
Our representatives at foreign counts are
not in any sense ambassadors. They are
merely ministers resident. Only six
countries in the world—the five great
European powers and Turkey—send or
receive ambassadors.
The difference between an act and a
law is also very great, but the contempo
rary press generally speak of them as
identical. An act may be passed by
both houses of Congress, recieve the
President’s signature, and go on the
statute books, but until the courts have
passed upon it it is not a law. Many
acts are unconstitutional; others are in
onerative; others again conflict with es
tablished laws. An act does not become
a law until it has proven its raison d’etre.
Another un-American blunder which is
constantly made is speaking of a private
soldier as a common soldier. This may
do in European countries, where class
distinctions are rigid’y observed m civil
as well as military life, but it won’t do at
all in this free and glorious Repnblio,
where, as the evangelist says, there is
nothing oommon or unclean. These are
errors picked up at random—but one
starting out to find them in books, news
papers, and magazines of the best class
could light upon two or three billions of
them a year. —New York Mail and Eke

Choerfitl Cripples.
“The cheerfulness rf cripiled men
takes me off m.v feet. The other night
I attended a little r -caption at which
there were |(resent a dozen or twenty old
soldiers. Some of them had wooden
legs, others had crooked legs or maimed
legs, and there was in fact scarce'y a
whole-bodied man among them, and yet
when the music took a martial turn all
those old fellows insisted on dancing. It
was the most remarkable performance
that I had ever seen, and for ten minutes
a good many of us could not tell whether
we were laughing or crying. Rut the
boys seemed to enjoy it, ana when their
blood was up they were as reckless as a
lot of romping lads and girls in attempt
ing all the extraordinary capers inci

Wealth Had Paup.rl.ni te Urt Britain-
Trade and t'nmmerce.
Consul-General Waller, in an elabor
ate report to the State Department at;
Washington on the commerce and con
dition of trade of Great Britain and
Ireland, says;
“The total wealth of the nation
amounts to $43,600,000,000, allowing
about $1,245 to every man, woman, and
child, or about S3OO more than such
a division in tire United States would
produce While the savings banks re
turns indicate comparative prosperity of
a thrifty class, whose annual savings
average from $25 to SSO per annum, still
the pecuniary condition of a large part
of the pop Ration is exceedingly distress
ing. Statistics show that one vut of every
30 residents are registered not paupers.
The great prevalence of crime is ascribed
in part to the intemperance of women, to
the suppression of which the best efforts
of the country arc being directed.
While one-tenth of the population are
engaged in agriculture, one fifth of the
area of England is held by 523 pro
prietors, one-fourth of Scotland by 12,
and one-third of Ireland, by 292. The
value of the average agricultural pro
duce is variously estimated at from
$750,000,000 to $950,000,000. The free
rudimentary education of children is one
of the leading questions engaging public
attention, and the history of education
in the United States is cited in support
of such a policy.
The total value of the exports of the
kingdom for 1884 was $1,479,837,915, a
decrease of $47,847,435 for the year,
and the valuation of the imports' was
$0,950,092,845, a decrease of $184,365,-
050 for the same period -that is, the de
crease in exports was $137,017,615 less
than the decrease in imports. The ex
ports of the United States to Great
Britain in 1884 amounted to $413,392,-
705, a decrease of $64,802,095. The ex
ports from Great Britain to the United
States for the same period amounted to
$163,692,665, a decrease of $19,969,865.
While the difference in the diminution
of trade between the countries was $44,-
832,230 in favor of the Kingdom; the
balance of trade was $267,700,000 in
favor of the United States. The princi
pal falling off in the English exports was
in wrought and unwrought metals, cot
tons, earthen and china ware, machin
ery, wearing apparel, skins and furs,
chemicals, dye stuffs, hardware and cut
lery, cement and animals. The principal
increases were in silk manufactures, tel
egraph apparatus, wool and paper rags.
The principal falling off in United
States exports to Great Britain wob in
corn, grain, and flour, and the chief in
creases in sugar, copper and hops. The
fact is of encouraging significance that
the United States maintained the large
percentage of former years in the ag
gregate imports of grain, flour and
cotton.
“An analysis of the returns shows
that since the beginning of 1885 business
has slowly but steadily improved
throughout the kingdom, nearly one
half of tho decrease of the fiscal year
having occurred in the December quarter.
The total value of exports from the
Kingdom to the United States from Oct.
1. 1875. to Sept. 30. 1885. was $1,356,-
229,509, having increased from $94,898,-
660 in 1876 to $132,713,596 in 1885.
The exports reached their maximum
during the ten years in 1880 when they
amounted to $191,973.5ince which
year they have been ’gradually de
creasing. ”
Tho Course of the Gulf Stream
Current
The St. James’s Gazette says: Paul
Bert read a paper at the last meeting of
the French Academy of Sciences on the
experiments lately set on foot by the
Hereditary Prince of Monaco, who was
himself present at the meeting, with
the object of determining the course of
the current of the Gulf Stream, The
received belief is that after passing the
Azores it flows in a northeasterly direc
tion, washing the shores of the north
ern countries of Europe; but this theory
has never been scientifically versed.
The Prince took several hundred floats
to the Azores last summer, and, sailing
in a northerly direction, he dropped
them one by one into the ocean, allow
ing an interval of a mile or two between
them. In the interior of each is a paper
giving the latitude and longitude of the
spot where it was dropped; and mariners
have been requested through the usual
channels to note of the time and place of
their picking up any of them they may
happen to fall in with. If a sufficient
number of these observations can be col
lected a much needed light will, it is
hoped will be thrown on the direction
and velocity of the Gulf Stream.
So far only three of the floats have
been recovered from the ocean under
circumstances it must be added, which
seem to make against the received theory.
Instead of being found at a point north
ward of that where they were deposited,
they had floated considerably south of
it, and were cast ashore on the Eastern
Azoes.
A Hint to Hotel Keepers.
A gentlemen from the South said: “It
is a curious old reminiscence in Alabama
that a bill of fare decided the location
of the State Capital. It was formerly at
Wetumpka. When the vote was about
to be taken on its removal to Montgom
ery, there seemed to be a clear majority
in favor of leaving it at Wetumpka.
But when the legislators were about
(lining on the decisive day they had
thrust into their hands a bill of fare of
the E.vdiaugc Hotel, Montgomery. It
was finely printed and contained all the
luxuries of the season. The members
saw the contrast between the menu and
the brown paper one that they were
then ordering from, with half the
articles written and small variety.
When the vote was taken in the after
noon Montgomery became the capital by
a handsome vote.''
Thk Wisconsin Central Railroad has
made a desirable innovation upon a bad
custom bv paying the porters of its new
sleeping car lines 650 a month, and for
bidding them on pain of discharge from
receiving tips. The Pullman Company
pays its porters 610 a month.

Hens and Humorists.
A certain chord of sympathy exists
between these two species, the hen and the
humorist. Columns of laughable arti
cles have been written by the latter upon
the former’s predilection to produi eon a
falling market, and stop the production
when the price of her commodity wan go
ing up. But beneath the wit and sar
casm the observing reader will have
noted a strong undercurrent of admira
tion on the part of the humorist for the sa
gacity of the Americau hen in endeavor
ing to bull or bear the market as she saw
fit. Then, again, when her attempts at
hatching out door knobs, fire brick, and
brownstone fronts have been referred to,
there is the same undertone indicative
of the writer’s respect for the patience
of that hen.
That humorists love hens there is no
doubt. Now there is George Peck, for
example. For years he has devoted the
best of his genius to his Ilenery, and he
carries his love so far that he will never
taste chicken soup until he has been as
sured that the fowl of which it is com
posed was a member of the masculine per
suasion. Bob Burdette is superstitious
in the matter of hens. To sec a pure
white hen, acts like inspiration upon Bob,
and it is said that “The Rise and Fall
of the Mustache ” was evolved on that
day when a white hen strayed into his
kitchen. A jet black rooster is his Ne
mesis, and no power on earth could
make him start on a journey or ascend
the platform the day he has passed one
with its head pointed toward him. Even
rough Bill Nye is the everlasting friend
of the hen. He owes his start in life to
a pair of barnyard fowls whom he caught
scratching up his garden ‘ ‘ gass. ” This
made Bill mad. Swearing a plaintive
swear, and seizing his double-barreled
persuader, he got a bead on them; but
ere he fired his educated eye caught the
glimpse of something bright. Approach
ing the spot he discovered that the fowls
had laid bare a soil laden with gold dust.
Now, any one wishing a through ticket
to eternity by the wild Western humor
route had better speak disparagingly of
the hen in the presence of Bill Nye. G.
Whitaker, it is said, saves all the tid-bits
from his table for a superannuated hen
which has made her home in his back
yard. Mark Twain points with pride to
the portrait of a hen, now dead, which
he captured in the act of scratching up
the resting-place of seven sleepers. And
I have accidentally overheard that a cer
tain Philapelphia humorist has tho call on
his brethern with a pet hen which.sleeps
on the headboard of his bed, and will
never go to roost until its master hag
come home. We admire while we pity
that hen.
These and many more cases that could
be cited, prove the assertion that humor
ists love hens. Now let us see what
there is in common between them. A
hen is very tender and fresh when first
hatched. So is the humorist; but they
both become hardened and toughened
with age nnd experience. Hens scratch
for their living; where is the humorist
who has not had to scratch mighty hard,
at that? The hen pecks; the humorist is
very often henpecked. A hen, watches
over her brood with a mother’s eye. A
humorist with fatherly pride, watches
his young as they are wafted about
through the columns of friendly publi
cations, and it makes him sad and weary
to see one of his most promising creations
passed off as original by the Grab-all
Gazette. The hen cackles when she has
laid an egg. The humorist cries out in
ecstasy when he has written an article
which meets with public favor. Hens
lay. Humorists lie. Whoever has read
the writings of Eli Perkins will bear the
writer out in this statement. Finally
hens die unrregetted, and their memory is
shrouded in oblivion. Has not this been
the case in a great many instances with
the humorist? —Chicago Ledger.

Bernhardt saw a madwoman daily casting
pieces of bread upon the waves. The
poor creature explained that she was
feeding the fishes so that they would not
in their hunger devour the body of her
son, who had been drowned at sea. The
actress made a note of the ease, and has
now illustrated it in a marble group.

An important part of the ceremony at a

lemonade arid two straws.
