THE AMERICAN TIMEPIECE.
How Particular We All Are to Haro ths
Correct Time o'Day.
“There is probably no other nation on
this terrestial globe, *’ said a well known
Broadway jeweler the other day, as he
regulated a gentleman’s timepiece, ••that
is as proud of correct timekeepers a* the
Americans. We are taught from boy
hood that the one great am hit ion of life
is the possession of a watch. Vv nat man
is there who hits not in his Ixjyhood days
saved his pennies for buying a watch and
then spent it for fireworks?
“No American citizen who loves his
country would disgrace it by appearing
on the street without a watch suspended
to a massive eham with alxtut eight
■ounces of charms attached thereto. And
we love to have the correct time, too. A
watch that will vary one minute a week
is considered a poor one, and the owner
thereof will hie him to the maker and de
mand to have it regulated so that it will
keep exact pace with the sun.
“Notwithstanding this desire for cor
rectness, we do not particularly cure lor
five or ten minutes’ difference. This is a
strange assertion to make, yet it is true.
Take a man whose timepiece has not
varied twenty seconds a day. He will
look ad it, jab it back in his jxicket with
an air that indicates his contentment
with the flight of time, and go his way.
He has scrutinized the hour and minute
hand closely, but when you ask him what
the correct time is he will, in ninety cases
cut of a hundred, look sheepish and say:
"It’s just—that is--’ and then you will
see him take out the piece again. And so
it is. The man who is tlie most particu
lar as to the correctness of his timepiece
is invariably the very one who will forget
half a second after he has looked wlietlier
the minute hand is on the quarter or the
half hour.”—New York Evening Sun

As to the liquor question, there is no
doubt that many men out here ruin their
health by excessive drinking; but I think
that many others, chiefly missionaries,
ruin theirs by a mistaken and exagger
ated abstinence. Stanley recommends
two or three ounces of go<xl wine every
evening after sunset, and I find that most
men who have passed any time on the
Congo agree with him. Every one be
comes more or less anaemic after a short
residence in this climate; and a man
who feels himself getting unaccountably
weak, with a strong desire for stimu
lants, may injure himself bv frequent
use of them—and, as a matter of fact,
many do so on the lower river, wlieie
liquor is plentiful. A teetotaler, on the
other hand, will most likely lx; pros
trated by sickness, when the timely use
of a little wine would have kept up his
strength. As a friend of mine, who has
passed some, years out here, puts it, A
cocktail every night Itefore dinner, if it
does not save you altogether from ante
nna, will enable you to get. through your
term of three years, and leave you m
good health at "the end: but if you take
to drinking, in any quantity, at any hum
of the day, you will soon have to clear
out of the country if you wish to keep
alive.” The effect of brandy drunk
under a hot sun is to cause a burning
pain in the region of the liver; and 1

rapidly drifting into imbecility and un
timely graves. . .
A peculiar feature is that victims
craftily conceal it from their nearest
friends. -V young lady at school near
Philadelphia was recently found to hr
secretly addicted to it, keeping her
“medicine” in a school-room inkstand,
and injecting the fluid into her arm
with a stylograph pen !
In the Chicago Farm, Field and Stock
man, September 24, 1887, is this lettei
signed S. T. O., from Barstow, Ky.:
“1 missed the paper that had my letter
in, so I did not know that you made the
request to know what it was I used to
break up the morphine habit, until I
got a letter from a gentleman asking
information. I should have answered
sooner. It was Warner’s safe cure. I
should have given it when I wrote the
letter, but it looked too much like an
advertisement.”
This voluntary statement goes to con
firm the claim made by the proprietors
of Warner’s safe cure, that it is the on
ly remedy in the world which has any
decided power over the disease of the
kidneys and liver, and that this terri
ble habit cannot be cured until these
organs have first been restored to full
health, because they are the ones chief
ly affected by this drug.
Editor Wm. A. Bode, of Alton, Ill.,
was completely cured of the opium
habit, acquired by long use in a pain
ful malady, with Warner’s safe cure
It cannot be cured at all il the kidneys
and liver are diseased.
It is not claimed that there is any
thing in Warner’s safe cure alone which
will do away with the habit, except
that it puts the kidneys and liver in a
healthy condition, giving the whole
system that strength and tone without
which any attempt to throw off the
habit, would be vain.
It is because physicians have discov
ered that no other remedy is so bene
ficial in restoring health to the liver,
kidneys and general system as the one
slated that it has come into general use
in connection with the special remedies
for the cure of the dreadful opium
habit.
One of the worst features of the opi
um habit is the deadening of mental
and moral sensibilit ies in proportion as
it weakens the physical system and the
will mover.

John C. Scarborough.
Seven years ago 1 had am attack of
bilious remittent fever, wSraeh ran iato
intermittent malarial. I Cried all the
known remedies, such as arsenic, roer- j
cury and quinine. The latter was ad-,
ministered to me in heavy and contin
ued doses. Malaria brought on ner
vous prostration and dyspepsia, from
which I suffered everything. Last
winter I heard of Kaskiue and began
using it. A few bottles of the wonder
ful drug cured me. Malaria and dys
pepsia disappeared, and as you have
seen a June day brighter for the sum
mer storm that had passed across the
sky, so the cloud left my life and my
health became steady and strong.

Mr. Gideon Thompson, the oldest
and one of the most respected citizens
of Bridgeport, Conn., says: “I am
ninety years of age, and for the last
three years have suffered from malaria
and the effects of quinine poisoning. I
recently began with Kaskine, which
broke, up the malaria and increased my
weight 22 pounds.”
Other letters of a similar character
from prominent individuals, which
stamp Kaskine as a remedy of un
doubted merit, will be sent on applica
tion. Price 81.00, or six bottles, $5.00.

An Author’s Predicament..
Happening to make a call on a literary
friend of mine the other afternoon. 1
found him sitting in an armchair Itefore
a wood lire, smoking a cigarette ami
looking the picture of health. “Yes,’
he S aid in reply to my congratulations on
his appearance, “1 do feel uncommonly
well. 1 had a long walk this morning:
after that a hearty lunch, and now I am
in perfect physical condition: but the
deuce of it is that I feel too well. 1 can’t
do mv work. 1 mJ;uit to write half a
chapter today of my new novel, and I
have reached the most tragic, the most
harrowing part of the tale; but how can
I go on with it when my nerves are ail

mental distress seems to me impossible
and ridiculous? 1 don't care a cent what
becomes of my heroine: whereas last
night, when 1 was thoroughly tired, ner

her sorrows." So saying, he gave a dig
