In a Russian Feasant’s Home.
A peasant's house is a very rude struct¬
ure, and contains none of the elements of
comfort, healthful ness or cleanliness.
Frequently the stables are under the same
roof with the tenant. His allowance of
furniture, food and clothing being fixed
by his landlord, he lives scantily. The
building is usually of pine or cedar logs
about ten inches in diameter, barked and
set neatly together. It is of one story in
height, with one room, generally has
three or four windows, with one sash in
each, and they are protected from the out¬
side by rude board shutters, which when
closed at night make complete darkness
within and ventilation miserable. The
floors are of logs or earth, and the beds
are on the floor.
There are no stoves in a peasant’s house,
A stick and clay chimney fireplace suf¬
fices. Here warmth is secured, and the
food is cooked in kettles. The family
meal is spread on the floor, and the repast
is partaken of while sitting on folded legs,
tailor style. In front of many of these
houses, which are covered with hay and
poles—a rough sort of thatch—the trav
eler frequently sees a drosky from the
city, the vehicle of the landlord, who pays
daily visits.—St. Petersburg Cor. New

Importance of Personal Cleanliness.
Very many people do not keep the skin
active and healthy as tlupy ought; the fear
of catching cold leads them to neglect to
maintain perfect cleanliness of the hody,
-and as the functions of the skin are im
paired, the work of throwing out waste
material, which rightfully belongs to it,
falls upon the internal organs. They will
bear the imposition for a time, and will
labor to do the work forced upon them,
but, sooner or later, they become weak
ened by the strain, and then the waste of
the system accumulates within the body
and assists in depressing the vital forces.
Thus, by neglect to keep the skin in a
healthy state, many a person becomes
dull and sluggish and disinclined to men
tal or bodily effort; all the organs con
cerned in life share in the disturbance,
and become indolent and torbid. The
, need to maintain perfect cleanliness of the
body is, if possible, greater in winter than
in summer, a fact which but few appre¬
ciate; and to the neglect of this essential
may be attributed much of the sickness
prevailing in the cold weather, which
really ought to be the healthiest of the
year.—Boston Journal of Health.
A Gorgeous Sunset.
She—What a gorgeous sunset, Mr.
Sampson! What a glory of <iolor in the
brilliant yellow and flaming crimson of
those piled-up clouds against the deep
green of the fertile fields and voiceless
^ woods! He (a young man of correct
, taste)—Ye-es, but don’t you think, Miss
1 Clara, that it is a trifle loud?—Harper’s
Bazar.
t Winding Up a Watch.
An Albany jeweler says morning is the
best time to wind a watch. The spring is
tightened and it is not so apt to suffer
from changes of position. If wound at
night the spring becomes loosened and
there is more liability to derangement.—
Boston Budget.
. A Brand New Phrase.
The residents of that famous slang pro
during district known as Kensington
have a brand new phrase by which to ex
press the degree of inebriety to which a
lover of the ardent may have attained in
Indulging his taste. A couple of inebri
ated chaps were wending their crooked way
- tip the principal thoroughfare, and one of
them in an exuberance of spirits clapped
other upon the shoulder and loudly
his opinion of the other fellow’s
virtues. The shock of the blow was
enough to shake the hat from his head
and it rolled into the gutter. “Thash
assented he. with drunken serious
“but (hie) I’sh too drunk to stand'sh
under my own hat.” A crowd of youths
near at the time appreciated the
phrase, and it is now on the list as a
r pular slang term.—Philadelphia Call.
Postmasters say that more letters are
mailed in the month of September than
in anv other month in the year.
Wiiat is this Disease that is Coming
Upon Us ?
Like a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa¬
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth inis a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend¬
ed with a greenish-colored The patient feels ex¬
tired pectoration. all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl¬
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow¬
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tiriged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de¬
positing a sediment after stand¬
ing. There is frequently a
spitting up of the food, some¬
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with sweetisl
taste; this is frequently of th< at¬
tended with palpitation becomes im
heart; the vision
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu¬
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that phy¬
sicians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc.,
etc., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. Ex¬ It
is also found that Shaker
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei
geFs Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, Cleburn
of Chulaflrmee, Co..
Ala., writes: “My wife ha>
been so much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Roots or
SeigeFs Syrup that she. sa\>
she would rather be without
part of her foot! than without
the medicine. It has done hei
more good than the doctoi*s and
all other medicines put together.
I would ride twenty miles to
get it into the hands of any suf¬
ferer if he can get it in no other
way. I believe it will soon sell in
this State better than cotton.
TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner,
' Ripley Co., Mo., writes that
she had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia .and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.
Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant,
of the same place, who sold
Mrs. Barton the medicine, says
he has sold it for four years
and never knew it to fail.
SIIE WAS ALMOST DEAD
I was so low with dyspep¬
sia that there ^as not a could phy
sieian to be found who
do anything with me. I had
fluttering of the heart and
swimming of the head. One
day l read your pamphlet called
“Life Among the Shakers ,”
which described my disease
better than I could myself. I
tried the Shaker Extract of
Roots and kept on with it until
to-day I rejoice in good health.
