“Hundreds of stars In the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn.
Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn —
But only one mother tiie wide world

Without EtiJc or Friends.

W. Gimm. Fredonia, Ky.-Dcar Ju
nior: I will take for rny subject "Wo
rn..n’s Influence." Ever since the days that
Ad .ni and I e, e were in tiie garden of Eden
the influence of woman Ims governed the
world, tn ad nations the women devise
p ..i:.s for the welfari* or downfall of those
they agree with, or oppose. History gives
a.i account of some good women and some
wry bad ones. Abigail was nut ph a.-ied
with her husband ana was glad when ho
da. d, bo she could marry a better looking
n eii. Jezebel was a bad woman and u.d
u. groat many bad things. So from Eve to
the pr» sent time woman's influence makes
war and treaties of peace. And the inllu-
’■"■e exerted by tin in at their socials,
where they offer the wineglass to the
young men, has ruined thousands. This
influence wili cause the destruction of
ni; •:;> useful lives the country needs, and
it -, ffei-t,’ will go on down the "stream of
time" out into the great ocean of eternity.
Hjw careful the girls, and young ladies as
wHI. should b. in regard to their influence.
I iiope tli" influence of all (tin* juniors at
least) will be on the side of morality and
the highest attainment in life, instead of
on the side of drunkenness and degrada
tion. Hope to hear from Misses Alma Bar
row', I’a t ienee Poller, Sarah Stans and
Others who have wrltb n such good let
ters. <'orrespondents solicited.

Science and Discovery.
This is an age of discovery and invention.
We have made sucii radical advance.- in
the past, f, w decades that no' Idi.i. if :'l>t
to startle us. So wonderful hav- b< - n some
of the Improvements that oui mode of liv
ing has been utterly metamorphosed.
Ono good resultant bus be, n tile state ol
mind si;perim: need. The barrt- rs ol si.'Pli
ctsm anil prejudice have largely been Inok
<n down. Men are more prone to b- l-evo
i that, matters without th,- scope of llu-.r pr- -
' 1 belief may be so. They have been shown
. ; that very little is so revolutionary that it
lu Impossible to modern .seicnee.
Nothing in the history of this evolution
Is more remarkable than the change, of
front; it has Induced a willingness to lis
ten to re.l. >n- not to eomletnn in adv anee.
This nlepilxity has resulted in universal
toli-ranee, so that if we were told today
that ti regular lino of transportation liad
bemi established between earth and mom,
men would listen ere they would be pre
pared to condemn.
A euro for consumption has been dis
covered. Before It had been submitted to
people at large, it had been tested in every
conceivable way. It has proven so remark
ably ellleiont, :<> Incontestably curative,
that tliro is no b’Ufl-'r justification in
withholding ft from a larger circle of ben
eficence.
So that now. In giving it to the public,
there are no misgivings that it may not ac
complish all that may lie claimed. Know
ing, Indeed, that a just public will duly
reward modesty, It shall err, If at all, in
the direction of understatement.

DS Piirn street, New York.
His name and fame, are too generally
recognized to need comment upon. They
had already been placed in tin- fore-front
among the scientists of tur g- in-ratlon. The
"New I’ scovery” wili win him fresh lau

negroes In and around Cart--isville are a
(.'lever, industrious people and a : honest
as mankind are gemraiiy. The domestic
servants will lake some lib' rties with lit
tle things that they think w-- won't miss,
but they have many good traits that arc a.
Set-off, and so We compromise on general
principles.
But now the burglars have come to town
and alarmed the whole community. J be
lieve they corne from up north where every
bad thing conns from, even io bad weather.
The other day a tramp 'aim- to our bouse
and ask' d for som- thing to eat. Hi- was
fairly good looking and Will dr- ; I d. -W

his home was, and where lie was going.
He smiled and said in- had no home ami
was raised in an orphan asylum up north
(end was going to Atlanta, in .search of
work.
"How do you travel,” said she, “If you
have no money?”
‘•Well, I ride on tho freights until they
put me off," he said, "and then 1 wait lor
another one and ride some more. I am just
taking a little trip now to e the country.
and they took the rounds asking lor some
thing to eat and always got it. ,My opin
ion is that they are prolessional thi-.w s
and their purpose in calling at so many
houses is to pro pent the firemises. I'nO
night after they w. ;<* at our h- use bur
glars entered tour houses ami stol-* money.
They took f:«) from under a sleeping man s
pillow and smaller sums from the pockets
of other men. A f< w nights alter tiu-y

aroused, and especially tho women. My

CONCLUSION.
The deafness In all these cases was de
pi nd nt upon eatariii of the middle ear.
It follows as a matter of course that the
only way the d'afni s could be cured was
to cure the catarrh. Any ease of catarrh of
throat or In nd is liable to become catarrh
of the midd'e i ar and produce deafness.
Pe-ru-na. is tiie only effective in:;, ia il
remedy in the e cases. Any and ail odv r
tn atment simply a waste of time.
There tire thlee classes of people who
are. Invited to write Dr. Hartman.. Hirst,
those who desire to become thoroughly
posted on catarrhal diseases. Second,
those who ar. taking Pe-ru-na, for catarrh,
but de ire to put. thcm.-elves under Dr.
Hartman's .-.-p. eial advice until they are
entirely cur.'!. Third, t!-"i. who would like
to have a b i; ■ ciainby; Dr. Hartman's
lectures on chronic catarrh, del v< red at
