JULIUS L MACK,
"SHE.'
Improbability* Sometimes Become Koa-
titles—A True Woman’s Fidelity.
Several work* bearing unique ti*
ties, written In fascinating style, and
giving evidence of wonderful lma*
ginative power have lately been re-
ceived by the reading public with
much 1 popularity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them
Is the book bearing the odd title of
“She.” In this the author has fairly
outdone himself In his popular line.
Ayesha and her beloved Kalllkrates
are unique characters In Action.
Ayesha, the heroine, is beautiful
creature who tasted of the «ssence
of nature’s forces at the fountain
head, and became Immortal.
Her patient waiting for the com
ing of Kalllkrates, the beloved of
her youth, whose individuality was
maintained through centuries,
though the change called death regu
larly occurred, only to be followed
by rebirth, Is a fine illustration of
woman's fidelity.
The closing scene, when she con*
ducts Kalllkrates to the very center
of the earth, the birthplace of al)
life, in order that he may taste of
immortality, Is a fit climax to the
fine creation.
The question naturally auggested
by this strikingly original story Is
whether there is not somewhere in
nature, a potent force whereby life
may at least be temporarily prolong
ed.
Mrs. A'nnle Senness Miller, editor
of “Dress” says: "Inevery instance
Warner’s Hafe Cure has the effect
to give new energy and vitality to
all my powers.” Mme. Gray, teach
er of Oratory and Physical Culture
at Syracuse, declares: “Before I
tried physical culture and Warner’s
safe cure, I was a confirmed inval
Id. I owe much to that excellent
remedy, and do not hesitate to ac
knowledge it.”
Human life seems to short, though
men in former ages lived longer
than those of the fifesent. History
tells us that they lived more in ac.
cordance with nature’s laws—their
mode of living was extremly simple
and their dally life they followed
the dictates of human Intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day,
seek the remedy among the artifi
cial fo-ces Instead of resorting to the
field of nature.
If when diseases come, we would
consult nature, the chances are that
we would fare better, for we would
then treat the cause of such disor
ders. Modern researcli lias shown
that most of the commonly known
diseases owe their origin to the un
healthy state of the Kidneys, the
blood purifiers of the system, and If
they are kept in a healthy state by
the use of Warner’a safe cure,a vege
table compound and simple produc
tion of natu re, much of the prevail ing
sickness would be happily averted.
It is probable that the author of
“Hhe” derived many of his beautiful
imaginings from close communinge
with nature, for we are all agreed
that whatever is of or from nature,
I* "more beautiful and wholesome,
than that which is artificially con
structed.
The Washington Rtar of Thure-
day state's that Mr. Frank Gordon
a son of Governor Gordon, who for
the past two years has been law
examiner of the bureau of public
lands, resigned that position on the
loth Instant, and that he will be'
come the attorney of several indus
trial oompanles, which he will
represent at Washington and New
York. Mr. Gordon is a young law
yer of much ability and promise
and universally esteemed in Atlan
ta. We hope that his new position
will be a pleasant and profitable
one to himself, as well as to the
companies which he represents
A Maine physician says that one
day be saw a big orane standing on
u log floating near the shore of the
Kennebec river. The crane had
captured a large bug which he would
drop iuto the stream so that it float
ed down past him, and then would
grub it again and repeat tlie perform
ance at intervals. He kept this up
for uearly half an hour, and then a
pickerel darted up from below after
the bug. Thia.wasJuHt.wbat the bird
had beeu waiting for, and tno next
moment the fish was down his throat
and he was winging his way slowly
up stream.
Hiram Brown, of Peoria, III., was
90 years old the other day. and sev
enty-five big and little Browns as
sembled to do honor to the patriarch.
He went to school in t’ummlngtau,
Mass., with William Cullen Bryant,
and waa a deacon in the Congrega
tional church there until he became
an Abolitionist. Then the brethren
went back on him and threw stones
at him after dark, and so the deacon
became a free thinker.
Over-Worked Women.
For “worn-out," run-down,” de
bilitated school teachers, milliners,
seamtresses, housekeepers, and
over-worked women generally, Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is
the best of all restorative tonics. It
is not a “Cure-all," but admirably
fulfills a singleness of purpose, be
ing a most potent Hpecific for all
those Chronic Weaknesses and Di-
pecullar to women. It Is a
powerful, general as well as uterine,
tonic and nervine, and imparts
vigor and strength to the whole sys
tem. It promptly cures weakness
of stomach, indigestion, bloating,
weak back, nervous prostration, be-
blllty and sleeplessness, in either

Scarlet Fever.
Darby's Prophylactic Fluid is un
equalled in the treatment of Scarlet
Fever. Used as a gargle it prevents
the throat from becoming diphther-
ltlc, allays tlie inflammation and
subdues tlie pain. Used to sponge
the body it allays the itching In
flammation of the skin and destroys
infection.
Exposed in the sick-room it will
prevent the spread of contagion,
and keep the atmosphere whole-
There are over seventeen million
copies of Talmage's sermons pub
lished every week. The Brooklyn
divine has the largest audience ol
any preacher in the world, and his
.Sunday morning sermons reach
more people than any preacher wno
has ever lived.
An ingenious fellow is traveling
througli Pennsylvania selling “a
valuable preparation warranted to
IKiiisli tinware.” This valuable pre
paration is wood ashes, which he
begs from tlie fanners along tile
road, sifts, puts up lu neat boxes and
sells for 25c. a box.
Avoid the harsh, Irritating, grill
ing compounds so often sold as
purgative medicine, and correct the
irregularities of the bowels by the
use of Ayer’s Cathartic Pllla. They
are invaluable as a family medicine.
A post office employe says that
the gummed surface of a postage
stamp should never be placed on the

the stamp and the corner of the dn
