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 3Ic>Ht Abject of Slaveries—I* There Any Kinanctiiatcr.

From my own experience I j Opium victims are usually hopeless, j can emp hasaze its excellence for Rich i helpless slaves, mind weakened, lacking nergy for any effort toward recovery, StimalnntH In Central Africa. 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 have seen men who have spent two years ■ here choking and gasping for breath : er less than half a wineglassful of neat bYandy taken in the middle of the day. —1 LIaekwood’s Magazitie. 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. ft*»*i**, Sting*, Bite*, Bruin* Bn nil» Corn*, diseases.

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. Mrs. J. Lawson, 141 Bergen St., Brooklyn, X. Y. 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.
