The “United States” Hotel. U 1 ran across one of the queer est hotels in the _ world not *long ago,’ 5 said a drummer at the Adel~ phia to-day. “I don’t care to ad* vertise the establishment 3 gratui tously so, suffice it to say, it is situated in a city made by nearly all traveling men out of New Or leans, and is run by an eccentric old chap who has named his house the United States hotel and his Tooms after states instead of giv ing them numbers. I went there to inquire for a friend. ‘Yes, he’s in Maine, ’ replied the clerk, when I mentioned his name, ‘But > he isii *t in Maine,’ I protested, ‘for I happen to know he’s ^ght here in this 'hotel.’ Then he explained. While I was at the desk was enough to make, a man crazy. • $ Grent in Massachusetts is kicking, sir,’ said a hell boy, ‘claims dat feller in Utah is all de time play in’ de cordian at night.’ 'Tut him in Montana,’ said the clerk. ‘No towels in North Dakota,’ said a chambermaid, ‘and the fat man in Florida; wants to be changed, to Vermont.’ My friend came down looking very rockji He saijJ. he’d ‘been sitting in a little poker game in West Virginia the night before and woke up in California. Didn’t know how the dickens he got there. The place interested me and I could hardly tear myself away. My friend assured me that it was run strictly according to state traditions. He was in Maine at first, but they refused to send any beer to his room on account of the prohibition law, so he had them change him across the hall to Kentucky, and now he likes it so well he has concluded to stay indefinitely. — Huntsville Adver tiser. y Bouse r the tor § pid ‘ liver, and core biliousness,Risk S headache, jaundice? nausea, indiges^ tion, etc. They are in valuable to prevent a cold or break up a fever.

It is interesting to note, says the Morning News, how the states north of Mason’s and Dixon’s line are gradually repudiating the proposition, beforetimes held to be sacred by them, that “all men are born free and equal,” and as serting a cast of color and race. The Indiana senate has just passed, with practically no oppo sition, a bill prohibiting the mar riage of white persons to per sons having more than one- eighth of negro blood in their viens. Just how the pro portion of negro blood is to be ascertained is not quite clear, but presumably there will be govern ment inspectors with samples of cuticle graduated by color, and by which candidates for matri mony will be matched and graded. Bun Into The Ground. The craze over heroic advertise ment seems to have been run into the ground by some ardent crank in Jasper, Ind., says the Halves* ton News. A notice of a religious revival at that place reads as fol lows: , “Struck by lightning! Jasper all on fire! Fire started in the ‘Amen corner’ of the Free Metho dist Church last Sunday, assisted by the Bev. Laberteaux of Jasper, assisted by the Barn’s Horn hand of Adrian and others. The devil’s fire department from hell, assisted by the hook and ladder company, can’t stop it. Glorious displays of light and heat every night! All are invited to come and. have the' icicles melted from their souls. Mothers have special in vitation to come and bring their crying babies. No terrestrial loafers allowed on the scene.” of C. I.

Origin of “Teetotaler.” What is the origin of the word ‘‘teetotaler?’* Can you give me any light on the subject? C. B. H. Jonesboro, Ga At a public temperance meeting in Hector, N. Y.; in 1828, Bey. Joel Jewel, of Troy, Pa., intro duced into the pledge the. letters “O. P.” for “old .pledge,” which pledged against distilled liquors, and ‘ ‘T” for total, including both distilled and fermented liquors, When names were being taken a young man in the gallery said: “Add my name and a T, for I am a T-to-toler.” Mr. Jewell after wards adopted the word in his speeches and writings. The, Macon Telegraph says: Coffee bounty reports a farmer who with one plow has raised 100 bushels: of corn, 800 bushels of sweet potatoes, 2,500 pounds of pork, $90 worth of syrup and #800 worth of sea island cotton. This, besides other minor crops usual on. a farm, produced at a cost, above the labor of himself and family, of one hand at $10 a month and board, and $80 worth of commercial fertilizer. He earned during his leisure enough money, $150, to pay for his labor and fertilizer by cutting and shipping hard timber. The man who did this was Mr. Seaborn Uastinger. Is there any state in the union that can show anything like a parallel to this? Hard times and Mr. Lastinger are strangers. A little tot sat at the table the other evening aud heard every re mark made as the plates were passed. One- wanted a “small piece,” another a “little,” etc. When it came her turn she reached her plate out eagerly toward the coveted food. “I’ll take too much, if ’oo please, papa,” she said with naive sincerity v -w* ’•'15*; " Jj- i n Luther and His InJkst When Martin Luther threw his inkstand at the devil he acted more wisely than he knew. It is just what the church ought to be doing all the time. The devil himself with a clear discernment of things has turned the tables, and is vigorously throwing the inkstand at the church. The ink- stand is symbolical of literature, good or bad. It holds all the noble thoughts and all the base thoughts that are dipped out and spread upon the written or printed page. To drop the figure and re sort to plain, speech, the great moral battles of the future are to foe waged very largely through the medium of newspapers, tracts and books., If we are to win and hold the world for truth and righteous ness, we must be more diligent than ever in circulating a sound and wholesome literature.-—Re ligious Herald. The Do# Question. Commencing on a decison of a South Carolina j udge that jlogs were-not property, the Charleston News and Courier says: “The doctrine and principle were doubtless all right in the days when the common Taw was- established, but we submit that jbhey are entirely behind the times and should be abolished by statute. It is somewhat singular that the general assembly of South Caro lina, which always has among its members too many friends of the dogs to allow of a *tax being levied on these animals for the protec tion of sheep, has hev§r passed an act declaring the right of property in dogs, and making it a criminal offence to steal a dog.” •: A Big Ranch. * Editor Edmonds of the Manu- s- facturer’s Record, writes: “How big is Texas, did you ask? I won’t try to tell, but when you are in the northern end of the state you are closer to St. Paul, Minn., than to the southern end of the state. They tell a story of a man down there who bad a rea sonably large ranch—not oho of the big ones, just, a moderate sized one—on which: the drroot gate was twenty' miles from the house-—a very convenient walk for lovers who wanted to swing on the gate before saying good night. >* How It is Done. Smith and Jones were talking one day about their business in terests. Smith was a hotel man and Jones was a manufacturer’s agent. ‘ ‘I say, ’ ’ said Jones, “how ever do you use such amenormous quantity of pears and peaches? ’ ’ “Well,” replied Smith, “we eat what we can, and what we can’t eat we can.” “Indeed! ” said the other, “we do about the same in our business.” “How is that?” “We sell an order when we sell it, and when we can’t sell it we can cel it.” One ounce of cream tartar dis solved in a pint of water, drank at intervals when cold, is a certain remedy for smallpox. It has cured thousands, never leaving a mark never causing blindness, and avoids tedious lingering, writes Edward Hine in the Liverpool Mercury. ~ " ~ .

Mrs. Richard King of Texas, is probably the richest woman in the United States, not excepting Mrs. Hetty Green. Her wealth is part ly inherited from her father, a pioneer Presbyterian clergyman, the first who ever went staff and Bible in hand to pleach the gos pel to the Indians and mixed races that peopled the vast do main over which his own little daughter was- destined to hold sway as a landed proprietor. Mrs. King is a widow, and her land es tates in Southern Texas amount to 1,250,000 acres, or about 2,000 square miles. The New Version, Maxim— Only the good die young, you know. . Brattle—Oh, no.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu liar to her. sex is fast developing in her system. She goes tocher family physi cian and tells him a story, but not thf whole story. She holds something hack, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought. to have- told, and thus completely mystifies the doctor. Is it any -wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the- disease? Still, we cannot blame the'woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., determined- to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable ex perience in treating, female ills with her Vegetable Compound;, she encour aged the women of America to write to her for advice ini regard to their complaints, and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her ears every detail of their suf fering. Over one hundred thousand women were successfully treated by Mrs, Pinkham last year; Such are the grand results of her experience. Samuel C. Dunlap, Jr. W. V, Wall. Parsnip Complexion. It doesmot require an expert to detect Ithe superer from Kidney trouble. The hollow- cheeks, the sunken eves, the dark* puffy circles nnder the eyes, the i sallow parsnip-colored complexion ini- dicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in'the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desirp to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing* t Gairi©sville there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it * must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no> time should Ke lost in removing the cause* Delay may lead to gravel, ca tarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes re- quiringJibe • drawing ft of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trduble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery-of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positiye remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
