■ A Topews snrrnmuCTw.
[Chronicle “Undertones.”]
There is a noted ex-philanthropist in town
•who has for years had a sad loaning toward
the bottle. He is not one of those who do
not know when they are likely to go off on
the spree. He makes up his mind, concludes
all his arrangements, has his spree, sobers up
and is himself again. Nor is his spree one of
those lively ones in which he interests the
public and the police. He is quiet and re
tired, and, indeed, he disappears from pub
lic gaze until he has satiated the desire for
alcoholic rest.
To this end he had Once an arrangement
with a certain saloonkeeper that, in consid
eration of his enormous custom, he should
be honestly dealt with and well taken care
of. Under this arrangement ho has many
blissful hours. But once when he got sober
he thought his bill for whisky was rather
large. He paid, but on the next occasion he
was wise enough when a bottle was opened
to carefully conceal the cork in his pocket.
It was rather a protracted bout, and when
the dawn of sobriety broke and be looked at
his bill bo found his suspicions were correct
touching the amount of it.
“This bill ain’t right, I haven’t had all
this whisky.”
“1 swear it,” solemnly said the saloon
keeper, raising a beer glass toward heaven.
“It’s a lie. Look here,” and he pulled out
a pocketful of corks and counted them and
knocked the saloonkeeper out of time.
Dairies Destroyed by Axes.
[Chicago Times.]
Speaking of the necessity of establishing
an “Arbor day,” The Birmingham (N. Y.)
Republican remarks that in Broome county
the axes have slashed to the tops of the hills,
and the pastures on the hillsides and mead
ows in the valleys have given out for want
of moisture. Pastures which formerly
furnished abundant grazing are now brown
during the hot season, and meadows which
yielded two or three tons to the acre now
yield scarcely a ton. “Thefarmers," says The
Republican, “have destroyed their dairies
with their axes. They will now have to re
verse the operation by planting trees and
waiting for them to grow, or continue the
motions of running dairies without grass.”
This warning is widely applicable not only
to New York but to other states.
Home Material for Romance.
]The Current.]
Mr. Stewart Paton, in The Nassau Liter
ary Magazine, says: “The difficulty of writ
ing a romance and laying the scene in this
country is unappreciably great. It is almost
an impossibility to find material tor a ro
mance in this country.” As The Nassau is
conducted by the senior class ot Princeton
college, it is not well that such a statement
of the literary possibilities of the country
should go without question. Is there no ma
terial for romance in the adventures of the
early settlers, in the Revolutionary epoch,
in the episodes of the civil war, in the
pioneer-life of the great west, in ths financial
crisis of 1873, in the political revolution of
1884?
The Pie Line.
The Boston Transcript says that the line
of perpetual pie must now be draw, to in
clude Greeley, Colo., where they served
forty-five varieties of the edible at a dinner
lately.
Tlie Leather Shoestring Man.
[New York Mail and Express. I
As the crowd of passengers on the early
morning trains come surging down Park
row from the City hall elevated station, the
familiar cry of the street venders scattered
along at short intervals attracts very little
attention. Au old man with a voice which
dies away in a sweet cadence, sings out:
“Fine leather shoestrings, 5 cents a pair.”
He has stood there tor years and offered for
sale nothing but long leather shoestrings.
Ho pays a license to peddle on the streets
and has a right to select his locality.
“How is the shoestring business now?”
asked a reporter of the old man.
“Not so good as it was ten years ago. Too
many button and elastic-fashioned shoos are
made nowadays. Poor peqple are getting
high-toned, and wear button shoes. Times
are said to be bard, sir, but I manage to live
well and support my family.”
“Then you must sell a great many pairs
of shoestrings a day and make large profits?”
“Well, no; I don’t sell so many, but my
profits are large. I buy the strings by the
wholesale and make over 2DO per cent on
them. I don’t have to pay any clerk hire,
gas bills, or rent; everythin’is clean, clear
profit. Some rainy days I don’t sell any.
but on fair days I make up generally. Sat
urday afternoon is my best day.”
Covered the Ground.
(Burlington Free Press.]
“When I want my children to mind, ’ said
Popinjay, “I don’t stop to explain the
reasons to ’em. I just put my foot down,
and that’s the and of it.” “Oh, well,” re
sponded Blob-on. absent-mindedly, “that
covers the ground, of course; there is no
need of explanation.”
The “Chestnut” Disappearing.
[Chicago Tribune]
“No one can fail to observe,” says an arbor
iculturist, “in going through the forests the
rapid disappearance of the chestnut.” In
that respect forests differ materially from
several of our exchanges.
The Mahdi a Pure Arab.
An Arab newspaper published in Paris

A WEALTHY FARMER’S
RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
Take Special Note of the Following History of
a Very Interesting Case,
Near the thriving village of Dundee, a few
miles west of that queen of the lakes of cen
tral New York, Seneca, lives Mr. Daniel Sup
plee. a gentleman of about 70 years. Mr. Sup
plee owns a very large and highly cultivated
farm, which has lor many years had the en
viable reputation of being the best farm In
all that section. Every crop he plants seems
to thrive, and his advice is much sought by
younger and less experienced farmers. “About
two years ago,” MrSupplee writes, “I suffered
from a very severe attack of diabetes. It re
duced me in flesh so that I was only skin and
bopFs, and my skin was shriveled and wrin
kled badly, my urine contained such a large
' percentage of sugar that when It was spilled
the sugar would crystallze so as to make a
coating plainly visible. My life was despaired
of by my family and physicians. Commenced
using Hunt’s [Kidney and Liver] Remedy at
th Is stage of my sickness; I improved steadily
and was cured, and am now able to again per
sonally superintend the management of my
extensive farming operations. Hunt’s | kid
ney and Liver] Remedy is a grand medicine
for Diabetes and al! Kidney Troubles.”
gentleman hearing of these lacs and
wishingto kow further of the matter for him
self, wrote to Mr. C. P. McLean, a large dry
goods merchant and grocer, of Dundee, and
a man of great integrity and worth, psklug
for Information In the matter. He received
the following reply:
Dundee, N. Y., Jan. 8,1885.
Dear Sir: Yours of 2d in st. at hand this
morning. I would say that I think the use of
HUNT’S [Kidney and Liver] Remedy in Mr.
Daniel Siipplee's case certainly saved his life.
He was going down very fast previous to its
use aud began to show an Improvement soon
after he began to take the Remedy. Mr. W.
B. Wightman, Wholesale Grocer, Providence.
R. 1., is also knowing to ell facts in Mr. Sup
plee's case. V ours truly,
C. P. MCLEAN.
WEST SHORE B. R. CONDUCTOR.
New York, January 23,1885.
HUNT’S REMEDY CO.: J
Gentlemen—Having been afflicted with a
severe attack of Kidney trouble, which disa
bled me from my business. I was persuaded
by a friend on the train io try Hunt’s [Kid
neyand Liver] Remedy, as he recommended
it in the highest possible terms as a sure cure
for Kidney Disease and all troubles of the
Urinary Organs. I began to improve rapidly
soon after I commenced taking the Remedy,
and it has cured me, besides, as I believe,
saving me from a long sickness. I have fre
quently recommended Hunt's [Kidney and
Liver] Remedy to my afflicted friends, and its
use has always resulted in restoring them
rapidly to health I deem it a duty as well as
a privilege to recommend so good and relia
ble a medicine as I have proved Hunt s ]Kid
ney and liver] Remedy to be.
Yours, W. W.C. MEREDITH,

How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Flckland, 41 McAfee street. Atlauta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deal, and could not tas e any
• thing excepts’ilt. Her bones became the seat
ot intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. , . .
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had .com
pleted the use ot six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter.
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a-ted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use. and
iis action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“I examined theabovd case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. eftee’ed a most wonderful cure in this
well-known case.
