DOMESTIC FELICITY.
Some
Practical Hints for Making a
Happy Home.
“Gill” in St. Louis Republican.
“How are you, John . J ”
“Good evening, sir.”
“Rather unusual, isn’t it, you being
down town at this hour.'' Quite time
you were home at supx>er.
“Quite, sir, but I’ve just been getting
a trinket for Jennie.
“Your wife, all—her birthday ?”
“No sir,” said the workman, “but it’s
my theory.”
My curiosity was excited, so I asked
him—this foundryman friend—what
his theory was. He belongs to a class
of men too eminently practical to in
dulge in much theory, or any great
dreaming.
“It’s a theory I have, sir, to keep
from growing old,” he said as we walked
along, making part of the stream of hu
manity that, pouring from stores and
workshops, was moving west on Wash
ington avenue. “You see, I was quite
a time making up my mind to get mar
ried. I liked the girl, but I was afraid
of drifting into such a way of living as
men who had been married six years
did. I mean of my class-workingmen,
sir.”
“I understand you.”
“They seemed to get shiftless—not at
their work, you know, but about home.
Spruce-looking fellows enough before
hand, you see, but getting married
seemed to make ’em careless.”
“In their personal habits V”
“Yes, sir. Well, I couldn’t stand that
in my life, so I set myself to thinking
the reason for it.”
“And you found it ?”
“It was mainly poverty. A man
can’t keep two people looking as well
on the money that cares for one. But,
looking past the main question of pov
erty, 1 saw that there were more par
ticular causes, or, 1 don’t know just
how to express myself, sir, there were
things even a poor man could do if he
would keep himself from falling .into
those shiftless ways, and I’ve acted on
my ideas and reduced my happiness to
a rule that has just three main things in
it.”
“Yes?”
“Yes, sir. The first idea that I insist
on is cleanliness. The lack of that
makes more poor people unhappy than
low wages does.”
“Are poor people not as clean as rich
ones?”
No, sir. I am a poor man myself,
and I say that. They can’t be. Just rub
your handkerchief over the sleeve of
the ceat that I wear every day at the
foundry. See the soot on it. Well, I
can’t change this coat. I wear it at
home. Of course, it soils the furniture
there, and it soils my baby’s clothes
when he climbs on my knee. But, see
here, sir, there is soot on my neck and
on my hands. I can get that off, and I
do. No matter how tired I am when I
come home, I wash up and have my
hair looking nice and my hands and
nails tidy when I sit down to my sup
per table. The comfort in it is that it
encourages my wife to do the same,
and by an understanding between us
she is always tidy herself. It would be
very easy for me to neglect that, and
often I am so tired that I am tempted
to do so, but 1 think that if I, whose
will should be the stronger one, fail in
my part of the contract, I could expect
nothing less from her. We are too poor
to have a bath-room, but I own a
sponge, and before I retire with the
odor of a hard day’s work upon me, I
take a quick sponge bath. The work
doesn’t consume two minutes, and it
not only refreshes me, but makes my
presence 'welcome to her. You see,
And the honest fellow took from his
pocket a little package that he showed
with affectionate pride.
“You said there were three things
you did. What is the other one ?”
“I take her out somewhere at least
once a week. Often it is only for a
walk or a call on some neighbor, but it
is a relief to her, and gets away from
the monotony of her household work.
About once a month it is to the theatre.
I can’t afford to go oftener, and then I
can’t sit in the dollar seats, but she s
content to go on the second tier, and
I’m always proud of her. She has a
black cloak that is out of style. The
sleeves are wide and not like the coats
have fine rooms in the Art Building,
and meet weekly for papers and dis
cussions. It is not in every city that
an equal number of busy men will give
the time to this sort of intellectual re
creation. The energy here is supera
bundant; in whatever direction it is ex
erted it is very effective; and it may be
said, in the language of the street, that
if the men of Chicago seriously take
hold of culture, they will make it hum.
Talmage’s Income.
Albany Argus.
Talmage’s income is large, and he
has probably turned his attention to
larger substantial gain than any public

very stylish myself. We always goto
see some good play, and don t throw
away an evening or our money on bad
ones. This year we’ve seen Clara Mor
ris and ‘Jim, the Penman,’ and Booth,
and one or two like that. So tneie jou
are. That’s the way I’ve reduced my
way of living to a kind of rule, and it’s
kept our home a happy one when
others have been miserable. My wife
knows what’s going on in the world.
She has the right kind of ideas, and is
something more than a housekeeper.
She is a companion.”
After a little farther talk on other
subjects, we reached a point where our
paths diverged and said good-night,
This practical philosopher went to

Social Life in Chicago.
Charles Dudley Warner, in Harper’s Maga
zine for May.
Social life is, speaking generally, as
unformed, unselected, as the city—
that is, more fluid and undetermined
than in Eastern large cities. That is
merely to say, however, that while it is
American, it is young. When you come
to individuals, the people in society are
largely from the East, or have Eastern
connections that determine their con
duct. For twenty years the great uni
versities, Harvard, Yale, Amherst,
Princeton, and the rest, have been
pouring in their young men here. There
is no better element in the world, and
it is felt in every pulse in the town.
Young people marry and come here
from every sort of Eastern circle. But
the town has grown so fast, and so many
new people have come into the ability
so suddenly to spend money in fine
houses and equipages, that the people
do not know each other. You may
drive past miles of good houses, with a
man who has grown up with the town,
who cannot tell you who any of the oc
cupants of the houses are. Men know
each other on ’change, in the courts, on
business, and are beginning to know
each other in clubs, but society has not
got itself sorted out and arranged, or
discovered its elements. This is a met
ropolitan trait, it is true, but the con
dition is socially very different from
what it is in New York or Boston; the
small village associations survive a lit
tle yet, struggling against the territo
rial distances, but the social mass is
still unorganized, although “society”_is
a prominent feature in the newspapers.
Of course, it is understood that there
are people “in society,” and dinners,
and all that, in nowise different from
the same people and events the world
over.
A striking feature of the town is the
“youth” visible in social life as well as
in business. An Eastern man is sur
prised to see so many young men in
responsible positions, at the head, or
taking the mangaing oar, of great mon
eyed institutions, in railroad corpora
tions, and in societies of charity and
culture. A youug man, graduate of the
city high school, is at the same time
president of a prominent bank, and
president of the Art Institute. This
when I was courting her, I never called j y 0l qiq\q spirit must be contagious, for
apparently the more elderly men do
not permit themselves to become old,
either in the business or the pleasures
of the Tabernacle is $12,000 per year,
while his lecturing receipts are fully
twice that amount. As he is the most
popular lecturer in the country, his ser
vices are everywhere sought, and he
can afford to ask high prices. For the
exclusive control of his sermons, in ad
vance of the publication as reported
upon their delivery, he receives from a
New York firm a yearly amount nearly
as large as his salary. As editor of a
popular journal he receives $5,000,
while his marriage fees run as high as
$250 for a single ceremony. His Friday
evening lectures are also syndicated to
a large number of papers, and for this
he gets a regular stipend. Then he has
a royalty on his published books, and
receives very large sums for doing odd
literary work whenever he has the
time. Offers of this kind come to him
by every mail. Only recently he de
clined an offer of $150 a week for a reg
ular newspaper letter on current topics.
Talmage’s expenses are, of course,
large. His family live and dress well;
he has a son at college, and a daughter
of marriageble age, and he must
meet many of the thousand and one
demands that are made upon a public
man. lie carries an insurance of $75,-
000 and the premium on this alone is a
considerable sum. Nevertheless, hav-
a shrewd and careful wife, he is enabled
to lay by several thousand dollars each
year, and were Talmage to die to-day
his family would be more than com
fortably fixed for the balance of their
lives.

IMPURE BLOOD.
A Case In Florida Cured by B. 15. B.
Evf.ri.yx, Near Brunswick, Ga. May, 1887.
My blood bad been impure lor a number oi
years. I broke out in ugly sores over my bead
and body and I could get nothing to heal them
or purily my blood (though I tried other so-
called medicines.) until I found that most val
uable medicine (Botanic Bloou Balm) 15.15 15-
I have been using it lor nearly a year, and in
that time have token nearly one dozen bot

sores on my head and body all healed. M>

desire. Yours respectfully,

unless I was well-dressed and clean.
That was one thing she liked about me,
and I don’t feel that I’ve any right to
be different now. I try to sit straight
in my chair, and I don’t go round-
shouldered-like and old-fashioned, be
cause I remember that she used to
speak of how straight I was, and I
know that my strength was one of the
things that attracted her. You see, all
that doesn’t cost anything.”
“Only a little thoughtfulness.”
“That’s it. Just a little thoughtful
ness. -Well, it pays. She is tidier about
home for it, and thinks a great deal
more of me. Now, there are two other
things I do.”
“What are they ?”
“I make it a rule to spend twenty-
five cents a week on her. I see you
don’t understand me. Well, twenty-
five cents isn’t much. A fellow pays it
for two drinks of whiskey, and it’s lit
tle enough to give her. A\ ith that
twenty-five c§nts I get each week
some little thing exclusively for
her. Maybe it’s only a comb or some
paper-backed story book, or half a
pound of fine candy, but it’s always
something for her herself, and not a
thing that others share with her, or
iWiieh she uses for others. It’s never a
scrub brush or anything like that. I
make it a rule to get it on different
days, too, find not on pay day, so she
doesn’t know exactly when it’s coming.
I don’t believe she even knows that
the little gifts come weekly, for often
they are $welye.4ays apart, but this al
ways pleases lier, and although we’ve
been married six years, she knows
that I still haye some thought for her.
Now, to-night I am taking home a new
kind of tooth brush; she read about it
last week and said she’d like one.
of life. Everything goes on with
youthful vim and spirit.
Next to the youth, and perhaps more
noticeable, the characteristic feature
of Chicago is money-making, and the
money power is as obtrusive socially
as on ’change. When we come to speak
of educational and intellectual tenden
cies, it will be seen how this spirit is
at once being utilized and mit
igated; but for the moment, money
is the recognized power. How
could it be otherwise ? Youth and
energy did not flock here for pleas
ure or for society, but simply for for
tune. And success in money-making
was about the only one considered.
And it is still that by which Chicago
is chiefly known abroad, by that and by
a certain consciousness with which it
is noticed. And as women reflect so
cial conditions most vividly, it cannot
be denied that there is a type known
in Europe and in the East as the Chi
cago young woman—capable rather
thau timid, dashing rather than retir
ing, quite able to take care of herself.
But this is by no means an exhaustive
account of the Chicago woman of
to-day.
While it must he said that the men,
as a rule, are too mucli absorbed in bus
iness to give heed to anything else, yet
this statement would need more quali
fication than would appear at first,
when we come to consider the educa
tional, industrial, and reformatory pro
jects. And indeed a veritable excep
tion is the Literary Club, of nearly
two hundred members, a mingling of
business and professional men, who

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk,'and was in pain nearly all the time. At
night- could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dii-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I sit once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieveme, but not- having
much faith in it-, or in anything else; but,
t hank God, I am very mucii relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and 1 am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairway in factory as nimbly as ever. I
thank vou for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because J feel grateful for what
has been done for me. I am yours, very
trulv, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If any one should doubt. a« to my being
cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with and have been with for
many years: Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta
nooga;' Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga ; Dr. Acre, of
Chattanooga; Mr. Phil Hartman, shipping
clerk for W. L. Co.; F. B. Cheek, Chatta

hundred others in factory and in city.
SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
Clovf.r Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20,1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you
for some time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. 15. lias effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 10 years, was
tajten with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used about 30 bottles of oilier medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Charnberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-lialf dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or fnur bottles, my giri’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on the calf of my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish 3-011
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity ma3* hear and believe in the 011I3-
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B-. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if 3-011 wish. I am well known
in tills and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S. Elsom.
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booxeville, Ind., January 27, 1887.
I shall ever praise the day that 3-011 gentle
men were born, and shall b ess the day that
your medicine was known to me. I had blood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of my town said I would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my low
er limb. I could not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
my name as you see fit. Iu my case there
were knots 011 my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Mibtle M. Tanner.
A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 12, 1887.
For a number of years I have suffered un
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my- case treated I13- several prominent-
physicians, and reeived but little, If any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spendinga largeamountof money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
currs said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having but little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem my-self to-day a well and
hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual
ities of B. 15. B. I cannot commend it too
highly to those suffering from blood poison.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Baltimore, April 20,18S7.—For over twen
ty years I have been troubled with ulcerated
bowels, and bleeding piles, and grew weak and
thin from constant loss of blood. I have used
foul-bottles of B B. B B., and'have gained 15
in weight and my general health is better than
for ten 3-ears. I recommend your B. B. B. as
the best medicine I have ever used, and owe
my improvement to the use of Botanic Blood
Balm. Eugenius A. Smith, 318 Exeter St.
AN OLD MAN REST©RED.
Dawson, Ga., June30,1887.—Being and old
man and suffering from general debility and
rheumatism of the joints of the shoulders, I
found difficulty in attending to my business,
that of a law3 7 er, until I bought and used five
bottles of B. B B., Botanic Blood Balm, of

STILLY NIGHT
WHEN YOUR
CHILD IS TEETHING,
Are you awakened with the piteous cries of
the little one, who is gradually wasting away
by the drainage upon its system from the ef
fects of teething.
THE BUSINESS MAN,
Wearied from the laboi-s of the day, on going
home finds that he cannot have the desired
and necessary rest, for the little darling is still
suffering, and slowly and pitifully wasting
away by the drainage upon its system from
the effects of teething. If he would think to
use DR. BIGGGERS’ HUCKLEBERRY
CORDIAL, the Great Southern Remedy, loss
of sleep and bowel complaints would be un
known in that home. It will cure Diarrhoea,
Dysentery, and all Bowel Disorders. For sale
by all Druggists. 50c. a bottle.
THE WALTER A. TAYLOR, CO.,
ATLANTA, GA.
I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for
a number of years, and in that time have had
occasion to examine, try. and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly recommended prepar-
ationsor patent medic nes 011 the market, as
I have suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of 3'ears, from a severe form of in -
flammatoiy rheumatism, and could find
nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a liiend now living in
Tyler to try a preparation known as 3B., or
Hotanic Blood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made lip my
mind to make one more effort to rid ni3"self
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my li;e to state to
the citizens of Smith county that l am entire
ly cured, with no tx-aces of the disease left,
and all effected b3 _ the magic healing proper
ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand
est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy
known to mail. I have been subject to in
flammatory attacks since ten years of age,
and up to the present time have bad four.
The last spell came on me in November, 18S5,
over a year ago, at which ;ime I was confined
to my betLfor eight weeks, passing the nights
in misery, with no sleep except when produc
ed by narcotics and various opiates. The
week previous to using B. B. B. up to that
time 1 had only eaten six meals and could
scarcel3- sit up without support; but after us
ing three bottles I was able to relish niy
meals and to walk up town, and after six bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en-
tirelv cured, and not the slightest pain felt
since that time. When I returned to business
iu February- my weight was 145 pounds, but
gradually Increased until my regular weight
was again attained, 210pounds. Tue noticea
ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkable dis
covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at
the verv time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. I lake it on myself as a practi
cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
conscientiously, recommend this glorious
blood remedy to all sufferers from rheuma
tism or blood troubles, and not only myself,
but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle
it will cheerfully indorse its superior merits.

IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES.
Round Mountain, Tex., March 29,1887.
A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with bumps and timples on her
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove tlieffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary and/
left her skin in a worse condition. {
I recommended an internal application-
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
usee three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and hergeaeral health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected.

‘I GAVE UP TO DIE.
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 18S7.
I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
six 3-ears. I went to a noted doctor and he
treated me for it, but could not cure me, lie
said. I was over fify 3-ears of age and I gave
up to die. I bad a distressing cough; my
eyes were swollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of yonr medicine, used it, and
felt better. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this an3‘ wa3* 3-ou

TRIED FIVE DOCTORS.
Hawkinsville, Ga., Feb. 2R, 18.87.
This is to certif>- that my wife has been in
bad health for eight 3-ears. After tr3 ing five
doctors and six or seven different patent
medicines, six bottles of yonr B. B. B. has
cured her. James W. Lancaster.
Alapaha, Ga., June 22, 1887.—B. B. B.
Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, d3 - spepsia
for over fifteen 3-ears, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars iu doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeedi I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. 15., (Botanic Blood Balm)
and I began usingit; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. Alter using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was used 1 felt like a new
man. I would not take $lj)00 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
