Every woman that exists has some point of beauty, possibly ly ing dormant, which she can de velop; it may be a cultivated in tellect, an inspired soul, sweet nature, line presence, lovely form or beautiful face and somewhere on this great round globe some body has recognized the fact or will. So it behooves all woman kind to look well into themselves, and endeavor to improve the good points, to ameliorate the unfortunate ones, and entirely forget that they have any bad ones. There is nothing so far-reaching as self-forgetfulness, either where beauty exists, or does not exist. A famous statesman, on being asked what he considered the greatest type of beauty in women replied: “The woman who is beautiful and does not know it, and the homely woman who, by her intelligence and graceful bearing makes her forget it.” Life is too short to be con stantly regretting the lack of some type of form or face we do not possess. The sighing for gray eyes when we have blue, and longing for black tresses when our are golden, will only bring wrinkles and discontent, thereby makes others unhappy. But there are ways and means provided both by nature, exercise and dis cipline whereby we can wonder fully improve, eradicate and change many of the unhappy con ditions of life. —Isabel Delarey in The Pilgrim for September.

Twenty years ago a discouraged young doctor in one of our large cities was visited by his father, who came up from a rural district to look after his boy. “Well, son,” he said, “how are you getting along?” “I’m not getting along at all,” was the answer. “I’m not doing a thing.” The old man’s countenance fell, but he spoke of courage and patience and perseverance. Later in the day he went with his son to the “Free Dispensary,” where the young man had an unsalaried position. The father sat by, a silent but intensely interested spectator, while twenty-five poor unfortun ates received help. The doctor forgot his visitor while he bent his skilled energies to his task; but hardly had the door closed on the last patient when the old man burst forth. “I thought y>u told me you were not doing anything!” he thundered. “Not doing any thing! Why, if I had helped twenty-five people in a month as much as you have in one morn ing I would thank God that my life counted for something.” “There isn’t any money in it, though,” exclaimed the son, somewhat abashed. “Money !” the old man shouted, still scornfully. “What is money in comparison with being of use to your fellow-man? Never mind the money; you go right along at this work every day. I’ll go back to the farm, and gladly earn enough to support you as long as I live.” “That speech,” I said to a friend of mine, one who 1 ad spent many years as a conspicously successful teacher, “went into the bones of the young man’s life, and strengthened him for a life of unselfish usefulness.” “Ah!” said the professor, “that one speech was worth years of text-book teaching! And yet it was made without an instant’s preparation.” “Far from it,” I answered, quickly. “It had taken sixty years of noble Jiving, struggling against sin and self, pressing for ward in the paths of righteousness, bearing the cross, following hard after the Perfect Man, to prepare that old Christian to make this speech. Then the moment came, and he was ready to teach the glorious lesson.” —Our Young I Folks. An unusual state' of affairs exists in Butts county. The crops were remarkably short this year and the tenants and land owners held a meeting last week. They decided tv divide what was made and give the croppers a chance to pay out next year. This seems to us a very sensible solution of the problem. OABTOHIA. Beam Jf Wjg* BIWgJII Nonli I’isliin". There is no record, so far as I known, of what Noah anil his family ate during the flood, writes Victor Smith in the the New York Press. After telling Noah what to take in the Ark, God said: “Every living substance that I have made will 1 destroy from off the face of the earth.” There were no take in the Ark, according to the best known de signs, therefore we are permitted to draw an inference. Beef was higher than it lias been since, for it was on a par with game, and game was higher than the highest mountains on earth. Therefore fish. God did not tell Noali to take fish into the Ark. He must have thought that fish could take care of themselves. But all flesh and creeping things were destroy ed. The chances are that Noah and the boys wet a few lines dur ing the forty days and nights of water, but they may have used nets. The first mention that we have of fish-hooks is about 7K7 B. C., whereas Noah and the boys were catching flounders and “weaks” in 2849 11. C. Field laborers in Spian work fourteen hours a day for ten cents, and live principally on oil, garlic and bread. About 5 per cent, of them die annually. When a boy turns his bulging pocket inside out we marvel at the quantity and variety of articles he has stowed away. Odd lengths of of strings, marbles, a horse-chest nut, a top, brass nulls, hickory nuts, an apple, and many more articles are garnered by this “snapper up of unconsidered trilles.” We think the collection must be hard on a boy’s pocket, and it is. But do we ever think of the variety and miscellancy of the substances we put into the pocket of our stomach. There’s the apple and the nuts, and things besides quite as indigesteble as brass nails and with no more food value than so many marbles. And yet we wonder that the stomach “gives out.” When the stomach breaks down under under the strain of careless eating and irregular meals it can be perfectly and permanently restored to health and strength by the use of Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery. The action of this Medi cine on the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition is so marked, that relief from disease is at once experienced, anil the headaches, liver “troubles” kidney disorders, skin eruptions and other symptoms of a diseased stomach are quickly cured. Whenever the use of a laxative medicine is indicated, use Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They act in harmony with the “Dis covery” and assist its action by purging the bo wells of foul accu mulations.

Deuteronomy is from two Greek words meaning second and law. The fifth book of Moses is so call ed from its being mainly a re petition of laws previously enu merated. Fashion was the old name for a certain disease of the horse. It is alluded to in “The Taming of the Shrew,” where Petruchio’s horse is said to be “infected with the fashions.” The complaint is a common one now, but not among horses. Bug originally means a goblin. The Welsh word bug means a ghost. The Hebrew word, which in Psalms (90:5) is represented by “terror,” was in the early translations rendered bug, the verse being: “Thou shalt not be afraid of any bugs by night.”— Inglcnook. A PARSON’S NOBLE ACT. “1 want all the world to know,” writes Rev. C. J. Budlong.of Ashaway, It. 1., “what a throughly good and re liable medicine I found in Electric Bit ters. They cured me of jaundice and liver trouble* that had caused me great suffering for many years. For a gen uine, all-around cure, they excel any thing I ever saw.” Electric Bitters are the surprise of all for their wonderful work in Liver, Kidney and Stomach troubles. Don’t fail to try them.

There are de grees in the yield of the days as they come and pass, but each and every one of them may be made profitable. This holds with pe culiar force as to advertising. People have to buy every selling day in the year. There are seasons when they buy more than at other seasons, but buying is going on ali of the time. The wise merchant seeks to get his full share of the trade, whether it be little or much. He should know and re call the old maxim, “Out of sight, out of mind.” He must persist in advertising all of the time if he would secure the share he properly covets. —Ex. The most effective way to teach temperance is to practice it. CATARRH A The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and ! 'jf§ astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco and cigarettes or any external or local application, is ' rjL just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the skin, are „T thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, ~ much of which is absorljcd into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red, hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the S- circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure blood is again coursing through the body the mucous membranes become healthy and the skin fcaj.)} k 0) active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap- pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected. S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve under its tonic effects.

The healthy, active child is full of impressions, and that he should express himself is just as natural as for a bird to sing. It is na ture’s way of giving growth—no one knows a thing for sure until bo tells it to someone else. We deepen impressions by recount ing them, and to habitually sup press and repress the child when he wants to tell the curious things he has seen, is to display a two by-four acumen.—Elbert Hub bard. This opinion of Mr. Hubbard is discussed by the Augusta Chron icle as follows: We are not always rational in the treatment of our children. In many families they are constant ly repressed, on the old idea that “children should be seen and not heard.” When our children get older, and we want them to move easily in society we find them different, silent and ill at ease. They do not talk freely, and seem to be afraid to raise their voices in company. We are annoyed and disap pointed at time, but it is the natural result of the system of re pression that was enforced at home. If a child started to talk at the table or in company he was told to keep quiet. To expect him to talk fluently to strangers after being “hushed” all through childhood is as unreasonable as to expect him to be an expert swimmer, and never go near the water. Children should not be allowed to monopolize conversation to the annoyance of their elders, but the grown up folk should not be too intolerant of children who venture comments or questions. Encourage children to talk in the fumily circle about things that interest them, anil to tell of tilings they have seen and done during the day. It is an impor tant part of their education. Give the children a chance. Women follow fashion as faith fully as a fisli follows a stream.
