PEACE AND LOY c..
Sweetheart, if Peace end hove were one,
How goldea bright, from sen to sun.
The summer hours would come and go.
So darkened now with fear and woe—
If Peace ami Love were one!
Ah! why, beneath the changing sky,
AVI:mi Loves pursues, doth fair Peace fiy,
And at the portal of the heart
When young Love knocks,doth Peace depart-
Beneath the changing sky?
Yet if we 'twixt the twain must choose.
If either Peace or Love must lose,
Shall we not, cry, “Come, Love, with Pain,
Though never Peace return again!”—
If ’twixt tiie twain we choose?
Alas! not till Life sighs, “Adieu!”
Not till tho red rose bloom is through,
Comes Peace to lie upon Love’s breast,
With roses white to ctowu his rest—
Not till Life sighs. “Adieu 1"
—Katharine P. Williams in Harper’s Weekly.
She Was Thoroughly Satisfied.
It takes a good deal to disturb the
equanimity of a thoroughly well ordered
mind, as the following' incident illus
trates:
Old Aunt Sally Pratt, till her life a
resident of a certain New England vil
lage, was one day sitting by her favorite
window in an upper chamber of her
house. The afternoon was warm and
Aunt Sally suddenly dropped asleep.
The window was open, and, ten minutes
later, the old lady fell forward, and, to
the borrow of several persons who saw
her, she fell out of the window to the
ground below. When picked up she
gathered herself together in an amazingly
short time, glanced up at the window and
said calmly:
“Well, well; I’ve often set at that
winder an’ wondered how it’d feel to go
a-tumblin’ out it, and now I know.
Well, well, well! Queer how things do
turn out sometim.es.”
The fact that she had turned herself
out of the window gave her no concern,
although she narrowly escaped being
killed.—Detroit Free Press.
Swine’s I’lcsli as a Food.
The explanation once offered, that the
Mosaic prohibition of certain animals,
especially the hog, as food, was founded
in profound hygienic wisdom, is not now
considered satisfactory. Pork in good
condition is recognized to be as healthful
food as other meats in the same condi
tion throughout the world, and it is now
eaten with the same immunity in Syria
as in Ohio. The modern Israelites offer
most interesting notes to the ethnologist
by their continued preservation, in • the
midst of a high civilization, of the re
ligious taboo of savagery. This rite has
had paramount influence beyond that of
their written doctrines, in their segrega
tion from the nations in which the}' have
sojourned; and, now that it is becoming
less strictly observed, there are evidences
of their ceasing to be a peculiar people.—

A Pioneer’s Farnly Basket.
It was early in March, long years ago,
when one of the pioneer settlers of Ox
ford county made up his mind to move
his family from Massachusetts to that
favorite region. He had seven little ones
and feared they could not endure so long
a journey and the piercing cold. How
do you think he took care of them? The
father obtained from a neighbor a great
basket, twelve feet by six, and four feet
liigli. It was fitted on an ox sled and
was made for the purpose of transporting
grass seed. The seven little ones were
packed in straw in‘ this basket, liko so
many kittens or pigs, and made the jour
ney safe and warm. The basket is yet
preserved by the pioneer’s descendants.

Queer Fancy of a Collector.
A man in Denver, Colo., named Lyon,
is said to have a collection of over 700
pens, no two alike. Some are of steel,
some gold, some amalgam, and so on.
There are pens pointed fine enough to
make lines of microscopic delicacy, and
others intended for men who use the first
personal pronoun a great deal in their
correspondence. The collection em
braces specimens from England, Ireland,
Scotland, Germany and other European
countries, besides America and Canada.
Some are in shape like shovels, others re
semble a section of stove pipe, and others
are delicate and diminutive.—Scientific
American.
Uses of Muskrats’ Fur.
A Maine fur dealer says that it is aston
ishing the uses to which muskrats’ fur
are put. The skins are taken at the city
establishments, clipped, colered and put
into such shape that they very closely re
semble otter, and, if not sold for that
are at least represented to be much bet
ter than they really are. The fur is
never sold for what it really is. but is
fixed up to look like something finer,
and charged for accordingly.—Boston
Budget.
For Underground Electric Wires.
A Pittsburg man lias invented a glass
conduit which he thinks solves the prob
lem of underground electric wires. Plates
of glass are grooved on the upper sur
face, and the wires are laid in the grooves
and cemented there with pitch. Then
other plates of glass are laid over the
first, and wires put upon them in the
same way. When all the wires are laid
the whole is enclosed in a wooden box
and embedded in cement.—New York
Sun.
Photographs of Lightning.
Photographs of lightning#flashes.,re
cently secured by A. H. Binden. of
_ Wakefield, Mass., are most interesting
pictures, proving the fact (before sus
pected) that the flashes have a sinuous or
rotary motion, being twisted like a rope
or ribbon during its progress to the earth.
The cloud effects in the pictures are also
verv fine.—Boston Post.
Some of Edison’s Tricks.
Years ago, when Thomas A. Edison
was a telegraph operator in the office
of the old Franklin company, on Wall
street, New York, he was continu
ally getting himself into trouble by
perpetrating electrical pranks on his
brother operators. The instruments. in
those days were placed on shelf like
desks ranged along the walls of the op
erating room, and Edison’s place was in
a corner of the room. Here he concocted
all his schemes for making Lie miserable
to every one and everything about him.
The office seemed the rendezvous for
all tho cockroaches in the lower part of
the city, and Edison hit on a novel plan
to exterminate them one by one. He
rigged up a wire along the wall, and
then catching one of tho insects put it to
death in the short and painless fashion
approved by Commodore Gerry. One
by one the insects were “sparked out”
of existence until finally Edison became
known to the Franklin boys as “Cock
roach Tom.”
In the cloak room was a large tank
generally filled with ice water, beside
which hung a tin dipper on a nail in the
wall. Edison connected this nail with a
wire at the other end of which were 190
cells of Fuller battery, strong enough to
make one think be had been struck by the
paddle wheel of a Fall river steamer.
The future “Wizard of Menlo” then
placed a sign below the dipper request
ing all to “please return this dipper.”
His request was heeded. The dipper
was never taken down, but there were a
dozen or more wrenched arms in the
office in less than an hour.
All this time the youthful 'inventor
was working on the quadruplex telegraph
scheme which he afterward perfected,
and which is now the principal system in
use by the Western Union company.—
New York Telegram.
Crowding Out the Needy.
“Another girl I know of, who gradu
ated at Vassar, imbibed there so much
energy and enthusiasm that sho could
not settle down to the life of a common
place daughter of the household. She
must work, she said, ‘ and she would* *
teach. They live in a neighboring subur
ban city, where her father is prominently
concerned in public school affairs, and it
was, of course, easy for him to procure
her an agreeable place. So she teaches,
driven to her classroom every morning
by a liveried coachman, while the white
hands which so daintily wield the pointer
at the blackboard sparkle with rings, any
one of which exceeds in value the sum
she earns as a teacher in a whole year.
“But think of the equally intelligent,
efficient young woman she is putting
aside. Somebody wants that place, not
to occupy herself, but to make her daily
bread.
“Why, only the other day mamma
was called upon to interest herself in be
half of a young gentlewoman with an in
valid father to support. She painted ex
quisitely, but found it impossible to dis
pose of her work. One prominent dealer
in art bric-a-brac told her when she
mentioned a price for the articles she of
fered him that but little more than cov
ered the cost of the materials:
“ ‘Oh, I. could not pay so much as
that; they are worth it, no doubt, but I
can get them cheaper. Plenty of fash
ionable women do this sort of thing, you
kn8w u ’ he went on, not without a certain
pride in his voice, either, ‘women who
drive up here in their carriage, who work
for the pleasure of it, ajrd who spend the
money I pay them right here in my shop
for more materials.’
“Now, does that seem fair? Which is
why I say,” finished this fair champion
of justice, logically repeating her open
ing projxisition, “that there ought to be
a society for the suppression or regula
tion of amateur industry.”—New York
Times.
New Method of “Swearing.”
As a party of Scotch concert singers
was traveling in Australia, the members
of it were obliged to take an exceedingly
difficult road, in order to follow their
specified route north from Brisbane.
Sometimes, during the hardest day’s
journey, they were obliged to walk up
the long hills, urging along the horses,
which accomplished about three yards
at each pull. Finally, at. the foot of a
formidable ascent, the driver volunteered
a piece of valuable information.
“Folks generally swear here,” said he.
“It makes the horses go better.”
No doubt; but we could never think
of —<— The very thing! use the names
of Scotch songs. We started up the hill.
“Jo-o-ohn Grumlie!” shouted one.
“Ye Banks and Bra-a-es!” shrieked
another.
“Get up and Bar the Door—oh,”
yelled a third, frightening one of the
leading horses, who sticks manfully into
his collar. On we go.
“Ob, why left I my Ha-a-me!” takes
us an immense distance.
“Castles in the Air!” gets the coach
up about fifteen yards.
“We’re a’ Noddin’,” delivered with
impassioned fervor, makes a great differ
ence in the speed. “My Heart's in the
Highlands!” in despairing accents, sends
up a slope, while “Tam Glen,” “Ower
the Hills and FarAwa-a-a!” in fierce,
excited tones by the entire company
brings us, hoarse, perspiring and ex
hausted, to the mountain’s brow.

How Wordsworth Composed.
Wordsworth mainly composed his
poems during his rural rambles. It was
not an unusual circumstance for him to
write with a slate pencil on a smooth
piece of stone his newly made lines.—

Tho Envelope for Use.
Never use a square envelope. Few are
the male offenders in this respect, but
many, alas! the culprits of the gentler
sex. A square envelope, large or small,
but especially large, is anathemd in the
eyes of the postal clerk. Use an oblong
envelope of a moderately large size—a
government No. 4 1-2 or No. 5, corre
sponding nearly to the ordinary station
er’s No. 6, is the best for general letter
writing purposes and for small manu
scripts. An envelope which the en
closure can just be squeezed into is an
abomination to the sender, and particu
larly to the recipient when he attempts to
return the letter to its envelope, and sees
it break open the whole edge.—Horace
London in The Writer.
California’s Redwood Forests.
The magnificent redwoods which ex
tend along the coast ranges, from Mont
erey bay to Siskiyou, constitute of course
the chief timber resources of the state.
It is from these forests that the major
part of the lumber used in the state since
the American occupation lias been ob
tained. The drain on these forests has
necessarily been enormous. In those red
wood forests adjacent to San Francisco
bay, and lying in the counties of San
Mateo, Santa Cruz, Marin, Sonoma,
Napa and Alameda, most of the mer
chantable timber in the original growth
has been removed long ago. Fortunately
the denudation of these forests has not
produced a scene of utter desolation, such
as is sometimes pictured in the mind as
following in the wake of the lumber
man’s ax. In the greater portion of
these worked over forests, where the
stumps have not been removed to make
way for fruit tree or vine, the great
vitality of the redwood has asserted
itself, and a dense growth of samplings has
sprung from the mutilated butts and are
rapidly approaching a merchantable con
dition.
The same phenomenon of nature re
storing the redwood forests is witnessed
in such parts of Mendocino and Hum
boldt counties as the lumberman has
already culled. An interesting illustra
tion of the renewal of these magnificent
forest trees is presented in the canyons on
the east side of the Contra Costa and Ala
meda county range, within a few miles
of this city, and along the forest clad
slopes of Mount Tamalpais, and the
ranges of Sonoma and Napa comities.
Tho redwood forests on the range east of
St. Helena, in the latter county, supplied
all the ties used in the construction of
the Napa Valley railway, and the new
growth has been drawn upon for years
past for posts and 6takes for the vine
yards and orchards that are taking the
place of tho forests.—San Francisco
Bulletin.
- For Freckles and Sunburn.
Washing the face with acid buttermilk
is a country cosmetic, still in favor for
sunburn, freckles and scaly skin. The
juice pressed from cucumbers is alto
gether preferable, and, though ol old
repute, is a fashionable London prepara
tion. The juice of milkweed also is a
proprietary lotion for the face, sold by
modish cosmetic artist3 abroad. These
vegetable lotions being gummy, protect
ing and detersive, refine the skin, and,
unlike spirituous washes, do not bring
out the hair on the cheeks. A seraglio
secret to take away wrinkles is to heat an
iron shovel red hot, throw on it a spoon
ful of myrrh in powder, and smoke the
face over it, covering person and shovel
with a sheet to keep in the fumes. Re
peat this three times, heat the shovel
again, and pour on it two spoonfuls of
white wine, steaming the face with it
three times. This rite is to be repeated
night and morning until the effect is
gained. x
Plantain water is very softening for
the face. But vaseline nabbed on the
skin of the neck and face every night
faithfully will keep wrinkles at a distance
for long years beyond their usual appear
ance. It should be generously applied,
left for the skin to absorb a few minutes,
and the excess wiped gently of# with a
soft cloth. A3 vaseline is twepty-five
cents a pound, which lasts a year, this is
the cheapest as well as the safest cos
metic. This should always be applied
before going into the hot sun, for long
walks or rides, as well .as domestic work
in heated rooms. The skin must always
be washed clean with warm water and
fine soap, and well dried before using
any application, and man or woman al
ways wants to go to bed with face and
neck thoroughly and freshly washed.
Sleeping with the imperceptive dust of
the day in the skin, clogging and grim
ing, it is a great cause of wrinkles.—

I have been suffering from kidney, disease

THE WORLD CHALLENGED.
To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make hold to
claim tl v e followin 0 * special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market. That it consists
of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never
been equaled in any medieine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
anv other remedv. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are
willing for B 13 B. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
remedv we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it.
They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say ; Inquire of your
neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates :
Waiting to B« Eaten.
Of the natives of New Georgia or
Rubiana. Capt. Cheyne avers that human
flesh forms their chief article of diet. The
doctor observes: “It is difficult to specu
late on the reflections of the victim, as he
lives from day to day in constant expec
tation of his fate.” There is reason to
believe that this expectation does not
produce the agonizing ten-or which most
Europeans under the circumstances
would experience. In the time not very
far distant, when cannibalism prevailed
in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at
all events, the custom of a chief when
stalling on a war expedition to take
with him, fastened together, a number
of men whom he already held as cap
tives; these men served as a living
lardei’. Each of them knew (hat his
turn to be killed and eaten would ccme;
nevertheless with the certainty of this
doom before him he partook of each of
his fellows whose death preceded his
own; and Capt. Wilkes, in bis account
of his exploring expedition, stated that
King Thekambeau appropriated one of
the small islands of the Fiji group as a
human preserve. Every man imprisoned
there knew that he would ultimately
serve as a food for his majesty, and such
alike were the loyalty and indifference as
to death of these victims that, when
questioned by Capt Wilkes as to their
feelings on the mattv, they expressed a
kind of acquiescence in their fate, and
used words to the effect that it was quite
proper that the king should be thus pro
vided for.—Westminister Review.
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With: rheumatism
and Sow Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain nearly ail 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 dn-
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 businessMr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing ofmy com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it snight relieve me, but not having
much faith in it., or in anything else: but,
thank God, I am very imicn relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pam
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as- ever. I
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or ac
knowledge of vou, except through your med
icine. I write'because I feel grateful for what
has been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, IV. 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

Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June2t>, 18S7.—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. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used about. 30 bottles of other 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-Sall of drags
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland <fc Co. recommended
•the B.B. B. I purchased one-baVf dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my girl’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 you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and belie-re in the only
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 you wish. I am well known
in this and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. RJ S. Elso-m .
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booneville, Inb., January 27, I8S7.
I shall ever praise the day that you gentle
men were born, and shall bless 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 aay 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 on 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 smfe-red un-
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians,and revived but fettle, if any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spending a large amount of money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by ihe
cures said to have been efleeted by B. B. B.,
and I began- taking it merely as a experiment,
having tut little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to*.day a well and
hearty man—al I owing to the excellent qual
ities of B. B. B. I cannot imimend it too
highly to those sufie-ring from, blood poison.

AN OLD MAN RESTORED.
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 lawyer, until I bought and used five
bottles of B. B. B., Botanic Blood Balm, of
Mr. T. C. Jones, of 3. R. Irwin & Son, and my
general health has improved and the rheuma
tism left me. I believe it to he a good medi-

Warning Against Self Consciousness.
Self consciousness is probably the
greatest enemy to beauty, either of per
son or manner, and it is curious it is a
vice (for one really wants to call it that)
that American women are mostly affected
by. In them self consciousness usually
arises from a very great desire to please,
which, while commendable, is often just
as nerve exciting as it is to the one con
cerned. An English woman in her per
fect certainty that everything is right,
that whatever she does is good form,
gain3 the quiet of an Alderney cow.
Now, what the American woman wants
to do is to reach the entire lack .of self
consciousness possessed by a well bred
French woman, to gain some of the re
pose of the English woman, and yet to
retain her own special and absolutely in
describable charm. I have seen this
among the young Quakeresses, but ex
cept among them and in families where
great care was given to the girls, this
case is seldom seen.— “Bab” in Philadel
phia Times.
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 recom mended prepar
ations or patent medic nes on. the market , as
I have suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of vears. from a severe form of in
flammatory 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 j ear
ago,* I was induced by a friend now living in
Tvler to try a preparation known as o if., or
botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made np no
inind to make one more effort to rid myself
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to
the citizens of Smith county that I am ent ire-
]v cured, with no traces of the disease left,
and all effected by the magic healing proper
ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand
est, purest, and most powerful bl ®P^. re “ e .^ y
known to man. I have been subjeet to in
flammatory attacks since- ten years of age,
and up to the present time have had four.
The last spell came on me in No\ ember, looo,
over a year ago, at which ■ ime I was confined
to my bed for eight weeks, passing the ni|hts
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 i had only eaten six meals and could
scarcely sit up without support; but after us-
j n c ihree bottles I was able to rfflish my
meals and to walk up town, and after six bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en
tirely cared, and not the slightest pain felt
sine! that time. When I returned to business
io February my weight was 14o pounds, but
gradually increased until my regular weight
was again attained, 210 pounds. The 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 very time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. I take it on. myself as a practi-.
caf druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
conscientiously, recommend tins glonous
b?ood remedy to all suflferers from rheuma

but the firm of McKay & Adams, who handle
it, will cheerlully indorse
