If other medi cines of its class were like it, they’d be guaranteed. This is. If it doesn’t benefit or cure, in every caso for which it’s recommended, you get your money back. It isn’t a “cure-all,” but it does euro all diseases arising from a torpid or deranged liver, or from impure blood. For all Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases, it’s a positive rem edy. Even Consumption, or Lung- scrofula, is cured by it, if taken in timo and given a fair trial. That’s all that’s asked for it—a fair trial. Then, if it doesn’t help you, there’s no pay. Wo claim it to bo an unoqualed remedy to purify tho blood and in vigorate the liver. Wo claim it to be lasting in its effects, creating an appetite, purifying the blood, and preventing Bilious, Typhoid and Malarial fevers, if taken in time. Tho timo to take it is when you first feel the signs of irearincss and weakness. By druggists. THE TASTE FOR POETRV. Ilow On* Author Dlaaoverad Bl» tor* for V.rs. at tho A** of Fifteen. It would be interesting, were it pos sible. to know what proportion of peo ple really care for poetry, and bow the love of poetry came to them and grew in them—and where and when it stopped. Modem |to»ts whom one meets are apt to say that poetry is not read at all. Byron's Murray ceased to publish poetry in 18.10. jn»t when Tennyson and Brown ing were striking their preludes. Prob ably Mr. Murray was wise in ais gen eration. But it ia also likely that many persons even now are attached to poetry, though they certainly do not buy contemporary verse. How did the passion come to them ? How long did it stay? When did the Muse say goodby? To myself poetry tame with Sir Walter Scott, for one / ■ail Shakespeare as a child, rather in a kind of dream of fairyland and enchanted isles, than with any distinct conscious ness that one was occupied with poetry. Nest to Scott, with me. came Longfel low. who pleased one as more reflective and tenderly sentimental, while the re flections were not so deep as to he puz zling I remember bow “Hiawatha" Tame out. when one was a boy, and how delightful was the free forest life, and Minnehaha and Punpukkeewis and X is One did not then know that the same charm, with a yet fresher dew upon. it, was to meet one inter in the K.'.icwala. But at that time one had 110 conscious pleasure in poetic style, except ill such ringing verse us Scott's, and Campbell's in his patriotic pieces. The pleasure and enchantment of style first appealed to me at about the age of fifteen, when one read for the first time: So nil ilny Iona tile noise of Imttle rolled Among the niimnlHlns by the northern sen. CmII Kina Arthur's Table, man by man. tluil fallen In l.yotiesne atsiul their Liril. Next I tried Tennyson, and instantly a new light of poetry dawned, u new music was audible, a new god came into my medley of a Pantheon, a god never to he dethroned. "Men scarcely know liow beautiful fire is." Shelley says. I am convinced that we scarcely know how great a poet Lord Tennyson is; use has made him too familiar.—Andrew Lang in Scribner's. TWO KINGS. One was a king of ruthless power Who spurned his people’s trust, AU whiteness from his soul erased By tyranny and lost. One was a monarch just to alt Within his kingdom's reach. His creed of charity and lore Flowered lo act and speech. The tyrant on a sumptuous couch Outhrenthcd his final breath. And his life lapsed all unconsciously From tranquil sleep to death. The king beloved by grateful hearta Throughout his prosperous land. While issuing some benign decree Died from a murderer's hand! —William H. llayue lu Century. This is the way with the Ball corset: if you •want ease and shapeliness, you buy it—but you don’t keep it unless you like it. After two or three weeks’ wear, you can return it and have your money.

If the besetting sin of the Singhalese is their inordinate love of litigation, this certainly is fostered by their very troublesome law of inheritance, which resnlts in sr.cli minute subdivisions of property that the one hundred and nine ty-ninth share of u field, or the fiftieth of asmall garden, (containing, perhaps, a dozen palms and a few plantains), be come a fruitful source of legal conten tion, of quarrels and of crime. Emerson Tenant mentions a case in which the claim was for the two tlionsand five hundred and twentieth shure in the pro duce of ten cocoa palms. To illustrate this sort of litigation the Rev. R. Spence Hardy quoted an intrt- cnteclaim on disputed property, iu which the case of the plaintiff was as follows: “By inheritance through my father I am entitled to one-fonrth of one-third of oue-eightb. Through my mother I am further entitled to one-fourth of one- third of one-eighth. By purchase from one set of co-heirs 1 am entitled to one ninety-ninth; from another set also one ninety-ninth, and from a third one ninety-ninth more. Finally, from a fourth set of co-heirs 1 have purchased one one hundred and forty-fonrtb of the whole."

Host people who read a paper would like to have it come to their hands with out any typographical or editorial er rors. This is quite possible when all the following conditions come together: When the coutribntor has written cor rectly. When he has written the correct thing distinctly. Whon the compositor has only tho cor rect letters ill the different cases. When he does not take letters from a a wrong case. When he sets them correctly. When the “reader" corrects every er ror. When the compositor corrects the •rough proof properly. When the "reader" reads the corrected proof attentively. When the comjiositor corrects the sec ond proof properly. When the revised proof is carefully “read." When the “reader" has sufficient time to >lo this, And when a dozen other circumstances work together for good.—Excluiuge. The Scents of Flowers. in popular auao.tatiou, the soul of the flower resides in its perfume. But cer tain loveliest flower souls sometimes ex ercise singular repellences for individuals of the human family. There have been those even who could not endure the fragrance of the rose. To my knowl edge one observer finds in the scent of lilacs an unpleasant reminder of the odor of escaping gas. Another makes no distinction lietween the breath of mignonette and tho smell of fresh corn- meal. To me the scent of the thistle is identical with that of tlie bumblebee sprawling luxuriously among its purple filaments, and the first timo the delicate, feathery flower of the beach plum were brought me. surely their odor was the same l had noted in downy chicks and nestling birds. Besides the gratification which flowers provide for the sense of sight and the sense of smell, there is another and quite distinct pleasure—that which is con veyed in the contact of a flower: as in a subtle spray of lilacs brushing against your face, the dabbling touches of the snowball, the tender coolness of apple blossoms dashed with rain, the refined sleekness of the lily, which gave an old time poet countenance in describing his lady's hand; so smooth, so white, so soft it was, “as it had worn a lily for a glove." Further tactile differentiation is to be found in the warm, vital and airy touch of the rose (so unlike the quality of the lily petal), in the viscid snltriuess of the poppy and the petunia, in the tissuey thinness and dryness of the larkspur blossom.—Edith M. Thomas in Atlantic. for Infants and Children* FurtliworiiM and Salt Water. A very important fact in the economy of earthworms is their susceptibility to salt water: they are for the most part soon killed by an immersion in salt water, nnd it uppears that their eggs are also incapable of withstanding its influ ence for a prolonged period. However, the eggs are not deposited singly, but are inclosed in large numbers in an egg case of a leathery consistence, which may be, for a time at least, impermeable to sea water, it is therefore just com ceivable that the cocoons might cross in safety a narrow sea inclosed in a ball of earth upon the roots of a floating tree. But it seems certain that a very long time does not elapse before the eggs in the cocoon are fatally injured by the sea-water. The only exception at pres ent known is an earthworm which is found in heaps of cast np seaweed on the seashores of the Mediterranean and North sea.—Chambers’ Journal. “Caatorik ’’so .refi adapted to chlM kJA, I recommend It as superior to any preierlpCtca known to mV, H.

From a number of careful tests made to ascertain the precise strength of an chor bolts set in Portland cement in the ordinnr)' way, the fact appeared that the joint was really stronger than the stone. In this demonstration 3-inch iron rods were set into the stones some ill inches and then subjected to the'test. The first rod had a screw thread to improve thi grip of the cement, and the cement be gan to yield at a load of 83,000 pounds, the breaking of the stone taking place at SO,000 pounds. With a plaiu, smooth rod it wits found tliat the cement began to yield at a load of 84,000 pounds, but the rock broke at 67.000 pounds. Thus, though the strength of the cement joint was uot developed, it waa inferred that, in a suitable setting, the cement joint on a smooth rod might be made to break the rod.—New York Son. People Who Have No Timo to Head. It U rather remarkable how the thou sands who patronize the postoffice lack eyes. A little while ago there were signs and notices enough about the building to give any one who looked all the information necessary about the ar rival and the departure of mails and the Other matters abont which those who nsed the building would naturally want to-know. But the clerks had to answer so many questions that the postmaster established a Bureau of Information, where all qneetions shonld be cheerfully answered by a clerk with nothing else to do. And now, although the Btamp win. dows are conspicuously placed and plain ly marked, it has been fonnd necessary to put up over tho window of the inquiry burcan, in addition to its sign as such, a sign rending: “No stumps sold here." The clerk had ns many requests for stamps aa he did for information.—New York Times. Trials of Sudden Wealth. Mrs. Gaswell—It jnst makes me m*d.

Pedgn St Co.'s grand store today to get some furniture for the Knowledge Wine. Two farmers recently laid a wager that one could bold a wasp longer in bis hand than the other. The man who rubbed chloroform on his hands expected to win, but the other happened to know that male wasps do not sting, and ac cordingly got one of that sex. They sat and smiled at each other, while the crowd wondered, until the chloroform evaporated, and then the man who used it suddenly let go hia wasp. The other man got the money.—London Tit-Bits.
