C. FLOWER MEDICAL CO. 1763 Washington Street, BOSTON, - MASS. TRIED m tsb CRUCIBLE. About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pronounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they appUed was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement In the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured some at once. Before I had used the second bottle the neighbors conld notice that my cancer was healing up. Hy general health had been bad for two or three years I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I bad a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and 1 grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all bnt a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It Is rapidly disappear ing. I would advise every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. Mas. NANCY J.

Nothing more curious and interesting con cerning the temperance question has lately occurred than the hearing before the lsgisla- tive committee at Albany on the Crosby high license bill. The prohibitionists and liqnor dealers were both well represented there, and both opposed the bill heartily. Miles A. Gibbons, of the wine, beer and liqnor dealers' association, made a strong speech, the most notable part of which was an attack on beer. Said he: I am a liqnor dealer, bat I tell yon frankly that the sale of lager beer is increasing drunkenness in New York and other cities. It is a cheap drink; yon can get a pailf nl for a small amount of money. Take the pail into a tenement honse and you will have half the residents in the building drunk before midnight. Again I say to you that lager beer is the liquor that is increasing drunkenness in New York. This high license bill is in the interest of the lager beer brewers. Why, gentlemen, the large grocery stores sell more liquor than any liquor store in New York. You propose to make these firms pay only a small amount $100 and to tax me $960. You also propose small license fee for druggists. Why, gentlemen, there are drug stores that sell more liquor than any retail liquor store in New York. If you do drive men out of this business of liquor selling yon shonld com pensate them. This State is too rich a one to rob men. Let me predict that if you pass this bill the city will be covered with sham drug aud grocery stores and with genuine beer saloons and that there will be a vast increase in the sale of liquor. John N. Stearns, of Brooklyn, a member of the Good Templars and the National Tem perance society, found himself in agreement with Mr. Gibbons. He said: "We regard this bill as in the interest of the beer brew ers. The states in the West that have passed the high license laws have found that they conld not permit beer licenses to be sold at less price that those for the sale of alcoholic beverages." And a representative of the out-and-out prohibitionists remarked: We are opposed to this bill because, first, it is morally wrong; secondly, because it is not an efficient one. It is true that the high license law has reduced the nnmber of sa loons in Chicago from 3,800 to 3,500; but, has that decreased the amount of liquor drinking! That is the point. When you see increased pauperism, you may be sure that there has been an increase of liquor drink ing. Thirdly, we are opposed to tne bill De- cause it indefinitely postpones the adoption of a prohibition amendment. Lastly, let me say that the prohibitionists are desper ately opposed to your bill and will oppose it first, last and all the time. It is not often than the liquor dealers have such helpers in their schemes, and they are doubtless duly grateful. It is quite probable that with such opposition the bill will fail. But it appears to be a reasonable and practi cable measure. EDITORIAL. NOTES. Those who depend on the weather for their feelings have had a gloomy time this week. But it has been very English, so they say. It is reported from Maine that English sparrows are growing white. It should be remembered that there is a prohibitory law in Maine. A report comes from a southern town that a colored clergyman of the place recently prayed that the indelicate might be made delicate, the intemperate temperate and the industrious dustrious. Peach growers in Delaware and Maryland express their belief that no injury has yet been done to the swelling buds by freezing rain and sleet. Usually the crop is destroy ed several weeks before this time of the year. Germany having made a very complete underground telegraph cable system through out the country, France is now doing the same thing. All the great military centers are connected by cable at a cost of about eight million dollars. The oables are all three or four feet below the surface, and there is no danger of interruption of commu nication by storms. Better late than never. After nearly a year and a half the I Congress or the United States has appropriated the money to in demnify the victims of the massacre of Chinamen at Bock Springs, Wyoming terri tory, in September, 1885. The bill sent to the house by the senate was replaced by another which appropriated $147,748.74, the exact amount determined by the agents of the Chinese government and distributed anions the sufferers at its discretion. Some money has been made in Birming ham, Alabama, during the boom there. For instance, a land company for the 4,000 acres of land which they bought at $35 per acre, or a total of $100,000, have $3,0QQ,Q00, and more of promissory notes and mortgages in their treasury, drawing 8 per cent, interest day in and day oat. Since the first of this year the space of one month only they have drawn $560,000 in dividends, and in the open market to day, for each single dollar of their original investment, they can find eager buyers of their stock at 40 times its face value. There is a promise that the dividends of this year will not fall below 1,000 per cent., and the. price of the stock, it is predicted, will rise from $4,000 per $100 share to $10,000 and over. There is no man to whom President Cleve land owes as much as to Daniel Manning. Yet a near friend of Secretary Manning is re ported as saying that his real reason for da siring to leave the cabinet is owing to the way the President has interfered with the administration of his department. "Man ning has been handicapped from the time he assumed the duties of secretary of the treasury until the present day," said the friend. "With the exception of his financial policy, he has been opposed by the President in al- most every detail in the administration of the department. The secretary long ago would have had the offices filled with Demo crats in the places of Republicans not under the civil service laws had it not been for the President, who interposed an objection. This was moie than Manning had contracted for. He felt he should be allowed to control the personnel of his department without dicta tion from the President. The model tenement house scheme of Pro fessor Felix Adler is soon to be given a trial in New York. The association having the matter in charge has purchased a lot and has nearly completed a six-story brick build, ing upon it, with fire-proof stairways and partitions. There are 12S tenements of two, three or four rooms, and so arranged that every room has a window on the open air. Abundant provision has been made for closets, sinks, dumb waiter, etc., and tne halls are to be heated by steam. The build ing is expected to accommodate 600 people. The peculiarity of the scheme is in tha sys tem of rents. After four per cent. - on the capital invested has been taken from the revenues of the building, the surplus is to be credited to . the tenants, dividing it proportionately to their payments, and when each has paid the estimated value of his apartments he is to be given stock in the association, thus becoming the owner of his home. The expenses, of course, are a first charge on the revenues, but with rents no higher than poorer buildings in the vicinity command, it is estimated that a considerable surplus will remain after these aud the stockholders' four per cent, are paid.

Life. Some of the most peculiar people to be found are those who are "the best fellows in the world when they are sober," according to common report. The peculiarity of them is that you never meet them when they are not under the influence of liquor, and you do not meet them then if you can avoid it. New Orleans Picayune.

A little New York boy is reading a newspaper. Looking up, he says: "Aldermen are called city fathers, ain't they, pa?" "Yei, my son." "Well, what's the difference between them and other fathers?" "The difference is very similar. As a general thing, the sons run in debt and their fathers have to pay; but the city fathers contract debts and their sons and even their grand sons hive to pay. That's the difference, my son." Texas Sittings. "What is your number, my pretty maid?" "Two and a half, good sir," she said. "I fear they won't fit you, my pretty ma'd." "You go and bring them, sir," she said. "Here is your number, my pretty maid." Unto himself he "sixes" said. " Two and a halfs just pleased th9 maid. "Where shall 1 send them, miss?" he said. New York Journal. MEXICAN SE NOR IT AS. TUeir Education and What They Are Expected to Know. Correspondence Philadelphia Record. The scholastic course of a Mexican girl of aristocratic family is finished before she is fifteen, at which age she is considered "marriageable." The wife of General San ta Anna was wedded to that wily ruler, whom Americans remember as "the butch er of the Alamo," when only thirteen, an4 numerous brides in these later days are scarcely older. It must be remembered, however, that girls mature early in the tropics, and in corresponding ratio grow old much sooner" than in the colder north. Though Mexico abounds in single women of mature age, one never hears of "an old maid," for to remain forever unmarried .en tails no such stigma here as attaches to unmarried females of other lands. If her lonely condition is alluded to by these po lite people they speak of her with some kindly phrase, indicating that la pobracits (the poor dear thing) has been "hard to please." The custom of engaging accomplished foreign governesses or native tutors to in struct youug girls at home is gaining ground among wealthy families in Mexico, because to send a budding senorita ovev ten years of age to a day school even in the family carriage, accompanied by a maid who never loses Bight of her till she is safely returned to the paternal casa is looked upon as an alarming stretch of the proprieties. In the days of conventual in stitutions the daughters of well-to-do parents wer j universally pi .oed in charge of the gen tle sisterhood, generally entering the convent schools at an early age and remaining until old enough to marry. Since the banishment of nuns and monks from. Mexico a great many private schools and seminaries have bean established, wherein girls are duly "fin ished" according to Mexican ideas. The acme of their accomplishments is to hssome good linguists and excellent musicians and to acquire a smattering of history and gene ral literature, placing them about on a par with the corresponding class in France and Spain. But they are never cultured to the Bostenian point ia the classics or occult sci ences, their simple acquirements heing such as shine to best advantage in the home oir ele. Mexican ladies of high degree are never educated with a view to utilizing their ac complishments for gaining a livelihood in any possible reverse of fortune, for under no circumstanoes are they expected to assist in their own support. The old Spanish custom which obliges gentlemen to, provide for all their destitute female relatives and to shield them absolutely from contact with the world still prevails among the upper classes, not withstanding the faot that nearly a century of foreign wars and internal revolutions has made it "a difficult task in many instances and forever debarred from matrimony the scions of proud but impoverished houses. As a rule paterfamilias does not encourage much reading of books except of a reli gious character among the female members of his flock, and certainly riot the general' run of newspapers such as are found in eve ry northern family. He believes not onlv that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," and might lead to that pernicious "strong mindeduess" which he imagines af flicts most ladies in the United States, but that literally "ignoranoe is bliss" in their appointed sphere, it not married at once when escaped from school restraints, some times the mother or some elderly female rel ative undertakes to instruct tne daughter in tbose domestic duties whicn matrimony en tails, because, whether rich or poor, on the day of her marriage she will go to a home of her own, which the expectant bridegroom must previously prepare. To that end she is taught to prepare delicacies for the sick and refreshing medicinal drinks; to make dul cies, jellies and dainty desserts, and occa sionally of way ot practice is given for a season the entire management of her father's household. I have heard of cases where she has even ordered all the provisions, paid the servants, provided rations for the carriage horses and looked over the coachman's bills for shoeing, etc in short kept a thorough account of all domestic expenditures; but these instances are extremely rare. Another class of women, a grade or two below the patrician stratum in the social structure, are numerous in Mexico and greatly to be pitied. For several years past the Mexican government has been making praiseworthy efforts to ameliorate the dense ignorance or this class by increasing the number of public schools and offering edu cation free to all. One more step is needed, however, and that is to render it compulsory and to banish the needle and embroidery frame from the school house. Hitherto the greater portion of the school hours of these girls has been devoted to the questionable accomplishments of embroidery, lace work and the manufacture of artificial flowers the latter industry being doubly a farce in this land of flowers. In many of these schools the teachers exhibit with pride speci mens of finest stitching and most elaborate embroidery, lace and drawn work of marvel ous intricacy and canvas work that equals the famous Gobelin tapestry. Angels, scrip tural incidents, etc., are wrought with silk upon fine linen, requiring infinite pains and a vast expenditure of precious eyesight, and often a year's time is devoted by some poor girl, who can scarcely read and write, to an amazing creation in canvas and colored wools perhaps her patron saint, represented with purple hair and yellow legs; or a land scape, with a green dog iu the foreground, resting his nose upon the peaks of crimson mountains and his tail in the branches of a blue tree, which masterpiece is framed and hung in the parlor by her delighted mother who points to it with pride ever afterward as the crowning proof ot her daughter s educa tion. When these slaves of the needle emerge from school naturally their minds are dwarfed, as their eye3 and spines are weak ened, and they are ignorant and superstitious to a degree. They take no interest m books, seldom understand even the geographical po sition of their own country, and to them the whole world beyond is a total blank. Being thus pitiably without resources, their future depends entirely npon marriage and happen ing to miss that they are nonentities indeed. At the age of forty they are broken down and decrepit old women, without a trace of the dark beauty that we so much admire in their early youth. EGYPTIAN LUXURIES. Coffee The Nargbileli Alexandrian Cafe. From the Philadelphia Press.l - Inquiry into the method of preparing the delicious coffee of Egypt coffee served in minute cups, even smaller than the after dinner coffee cups of France and of the same straight-sided shape brought to light the following facts: First the coffee should be pure Mocha from the little island so near out in the Mediterranean, and by the way it is impossible to get the real article since it is all engaged years ahead. Then the coffee is ground as fine as flour. Next a small amount of the coffee and the necessary amount of sugar are put into a brass or cop per vessel shaped exactly like a baby's ordi nary tin rattle, with the cover taken off one of the feet ends. The cup thus formed and containing the mixture of coffee aud sugar is filled nearly full of water, and is held by the handle over the fire until the coffee boils; then it is with drawn and allowed to cool a moment, and is then held over the fire and the coffee allowed to e me to a boil again; once more it is cooled and after the coffee comes to a boil the third time it is ready and poured into the little cups. The brass coffee boiler gene rally holds enough for two cups, though larger ones are sometimes used, some hold ing four cupfuls. The liquid is thick and brownish black, with a light colored froth on the top, and it is delicious. After the coffee is drunk, at the bottom of the cup re main about three teaspoonfuls of sediment that is like thick mud and is the coffee de posit. This coffee and a glass of water and an amber mouthpiece on the end of the ten faet long flexible stem of the narghileh are the sights above the tables in all directions, and searching below we find scattered aronnd the glass vessels half filled with water, to which the snaky stem may be traced. It is decidedly a lazy man's smoke, as the tobacco is very mild and half an hour is re quired to get half a smoke, and how long a pipe will last no one knows. An hour and a half is as long as I have smoked on one, and then it was puffing away better than ever. It may take an inveterate smoker to enjoy one of these water pipes, but when the inveterate does get one ha obtains a real treat after he has gotten the hang of it, and does not tire himself out drawing too hard. Smoking a narghileh differs from other kinds of smoking iu that the smoke all goes through the water below, and is thus puri fied, and also in the method, because iu place of short puffs is substituted a deep breath and the smoke is taken into the lungs. It is not possible to smoke the narghileh as a pipe is smoked, so that those fearing to inhale tobacoo should never attack this water pipe, aiso called the "bubble bubble," which seems a very good name and appropriate too, as it expresses the noise made by the several bubbles as they rise to the surface of the wa'er from the bottom of the vertical pipe that leads up to the tobacuQ. The natives take their coffee and a strong pull at the pipe, whicn is a regular piece ot furniture, as soon as they get up in the morning, and seem to keep it all day too. They claim, also that the narghileh is good for cclus, and they deserve credit for having found an agreeable thing that is good for any ailment, and they will replace fried onions around the nock of the unfortunate soul with a cold. The cafe is as great an institution with the people of the Orient as it is with the French, and the warm climate makes the shaded out door tables the popular ones, and they are crowded all day, whether along the Moham med Ali Square and in the crowded business places or in the back alleyways where the visitors sit or redine on caue-bottomed lounges and meditatively draw long draughts of peace. Where all these men get a living is a mystery, as thousands o them seasa to do nothing all day but drink, coffee and smoke. The shopkeeper yn his little 10x10 store smokes his uavgnileh while waiting for 3 customer. The thing is as necessary to an Egyptian as his hat, and possibly more so; and the comfortable expression on the face of one of those smoking is good to see. A NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY. Making Wine from Oranses Utilizing the Surplus In a Good Way. From the New York Mail aoi( Express. The wonderful crop or oranges which has. boea produced in California has led to the manufacture of a new and non alcoholic wine from that fruit. A tleman who has traveled extensively in jfornia, in conversation with a reporter gon-Cal-ihus described the process; "In Saa Gabriel, Los Angel6S county, Cal., where the sweet naval or seedless orange grows to great perfection and in large quantities, the Mexican residents made from it a wine, not unlike the May wine of the Germans. This wine, of course, had to be consumed at onoe or it would spoil. But the idea was suggested by this practice th&t good wiue could be made from sweef oranges, and the question waa kow to make the wine so tha,t it could become a mar ketable and profitable .-ommodity. As soon as the souring was overcome, rrcv money had to be invested. This Vfi accomplished after considerable money had been lost. Th.e sweetest oranges are selected, those of the naval or seedless kind; but not until they are fully ripe. Oranges when shipped to market for eating are gener ally packed green and ripen on the way. Not so with those used for wine. When gathered, a machine removes the peel, leaving only the juicy pulp. The pulp is Igelica grape sugar. The pulp and sugar are allowed to remain togetner aqout tnree weeks, when, by the aid pi jack screw press worked by machinery, the whole of the juice is squeezed out. This is run off into casks and purified every month for abont two or three years. Itiskept from souring by the addition of distiUedKlycerine preservat ives, and at the end of that time is considered fit for general use. It is drawn off into casks of a commercial capacity and is ready for shipment. "As transportation, especially to a dis tanee, would cause the wine to muddle, it is again refined at the end of the journey and the dregs precipitated before it is put into bottles, in which condition it is sold to the general public. The wine has already been exported to England and many parts of Europe." "Is not the wine fermented in some way?" "Not at all. It is purely the juice of the orange, a simple fruit wine, and contains no alcoholic spirits whatever. People eat oranges after meals as a digestive; now they can partake of the pure juice alone for the same reasen. I think it will soon outrival any of the mild drinks of the present day. " "Then it is simply a still wine withont any intoxicating qualities." "Yes, in its original form. But it can be' made into a sparkling wine by the introduc tion of carbonic gas. Bv diluting the orange juice one half, and adding the gas. a bever age equal to champagne can be produced without any of its intoxicating or enerva ting effects. This has been done, and tem perance drinkers have been delighted with it. As a summer drink it is far better, according to medical men, than lime or lemon juice. as it does not leave such bad results as sometimes follow the drinking of lemon ade."
