I could usually tell when the worst attacks were coming on by feeling a sharp pain In the heart, then violent thumping, shortness of breath, followed by a ooldness com ing all over me, then dizziness, faintness, and then, unless I could lie down at ones I would fall wherever I was. I never dared to be left alone for I had to have help at once and that applied with vigor. X could not do any work, even to sweeping, and had to be careful of the least excitement. I got very much dis couraged at the outlook and thought There Was No Hope Of over finding anything to help me. One day a friend asked, 1 Why don’t you try Hood’s Sarsa parilla? I thought It over and decided to try It, and I thank God for It too. Since I began tak ing it, three years ago, I have had but one ‘ bad spell ’ and that was due to carelessness on my part, and from that I quickly recovered. I can not tell you how much better I feel and how thankful I am. I feel as If I would like to tell every person in the world about It. I can and do now do all my housework, even to washing.” Mbs.

It is a harmless substitute for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil. It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years’ use by Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd, cures Diarrhoea and "Wind Colic. Castoria relieves teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency. Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother’s Friend. Castoria. “ Castoria Is an excellent medicine for chil dren. Mother* have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children." Dr. 3. 0. O*ooon, Lowell, Mass. Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day Is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria in stead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves.” Da. J. F. Kjhohklob, Conway, Ark. Castoria. " Castoria Is so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me." H. A. Archer, M. D., 111 So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y. “ Our physicians in the children's depart ment have spoken highly of their experi ence in their outside practice with Castoria, and although we only have among our medical supplies what is known as regular products, yet we are free to confess that the merits of Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it." United Hospital and Dispensary, Boston, Mass. Allen C. Smith, Prei. The Centaur Company, TI Murray Street, New York City, One reason why Scott's Emulsion of Pure Nor wegian Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda has had such a large sale is because it is “Almost as palatable as milk;” but the best reason is that its curative properties are unequalled. It cures the cough, supplies the waste of tissues, produces flesh and builds up the entire system. Bcott’s Emulsion cures Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Scrofula, and all Anaemio and Wasting Diseases.

Some Ufleotlve Side-Lights Thrown on the Character of the foet. The memory of a visit to Amesbury, made once in September, vividly re mains with me. It was early in the month, when the lingering- heat of summer seems sometimes to gather fresh intensity from the fact that we are so soon to hear the winds of au tumn. Amesbury had greatly altered of late years; “large enough to be a city,” our friend declared; “but I am not fat enough to be an alderman. ” To us it was still a small village, though some what dustier and less attractive than when we first knew it As we approached the house we saw him from a distance characteristically gazing down the road for us, from his front yard, and then at the first glimpse suddenly disappearing, to come forth again to meet us, quite fresh and quiet, from his front door. It had been a very hot, dry summer, and everything about that place, as about every other, was parched and covered with dust There had been no rain for weeks and the village street was then quite inno cent of watering carts. The fruit hung heavily from the nearly leafless trees, and the soft thud of the pears and ap ples as they fell to the ground could bo heard on every side in the quiet house yards. The sun struggled feebly through the mists during the noontide hours, when a still heat pervaded rath er than struck the earth; and then in the early afternoon and late into the next morning a stirless cloud seemed to cover the face of the world. These mists were much increased by the burn ing of peat and brush, and, alas! of the very woods themselves, in every direc i tion. Altogether, as Whittier said, quaintly, "it was very encouraging weather for the Millerites. ” His niece, who bears the name of his beloved sister, was then the mistress - of his home, and we were soon made heartily wel come inside the house, where every thing was plain and neat, as became a Friend’s household; but as the village had grown to be a stirring place, and the house stood close upon the dusty road, such charming neatness must sometimes have been a difficult achieve ment. The noonday meal was soon served and soon ended, and then we sat down behind the half-closed blinds, looking out upon the garden, the faded vines and almost leafless trees. It was a cozy room, with its Franklin stove, at this season surmounted by a bou quet, and a table between the windows, where was a larger bouquet, which Whittier himself had gathered that morning in anticipation of our arrival. He had seemed brighter and better than we had dared to hope, and was in ex cellent mood for talking. Referring again to the Millerites, who had been so reanimated by the mists, he said he had been deeply impressed lately with their deplorable doctrines. “Continu ally disappointed because we don’t all burn upon a sudden, they forget to be thankful for their preservation from the dire fate they predict with so much complacency.” He had just received a proof of his poem, “Miriam,” with the introduction, and he could not be content until they had been read aloud to him. After the reading they were duly commented up on and revised until he thought he could do no more, yet twice before our departure the proofs were taken out of the handbag, where they were safely stowed away, and again more or less altered. Whittier’s ever growing fame was not taken by him as a matter of course. “I can not think very well of my own things,” he used to say; “and what is mere fame worth when thee is at home alone, and sick with headaches, unable either to read or to write?” Neverthe less he derived very great pleasure and consolation from the letters and trib utes which ponred in upon him from hearts he had touohed or lives he had quickened. “That I like,” he would say; “that is worth having.” But he must often have known the deeps of trouble in winter evenings when he was too ill to touch book or pen, and when he could do nothing during the long hours but sit and think over the fire. We slept in Elizabeth’s ohamber. The portrait of their mother, framed in autumn leaves gathered in the last aut umn of her life, hung upon the wall. Here, too, as in our bed room at Dick ens’, the diary of Pepys lay on the table. Dickens had read his copy faith fully and written notes therein. Of this copy the leaves had not been cut, but with it lay the “Prayers of the Age,” and volumes of poems which had all been well read and “Pickwick” up on the top.—Annie Field, in Harper’s Magazine. ANIMALS IN WET WEATHER, Their Habits and Instincts In Regard to Sheltering Themselves. The reluctance with which most hu man beings face voluntary exposure to such (wet) weather will account for oui very limited knowledge of the shifts and devices by which our wild animals endeavor to avoid the worst discomforts which it brings. But those who are bold enough to go forth in all weathers know by experience that in all but th« most open countries there are generally to be found some cosey corners to whiob the rain does not penetrate, or which, even if not dry, are sheltered from ths direct access of the driving drops Animals, birds especially, whils showing the utmost dislike to endurs the storm, are by no means so clever in the use of such natural shelters ai might be supposed. Hares, as a rule, leave the open country and seek shel ter in the woods; and stupid as they an in circumstances new to their experi ence, as when suddenly ohased, or in avoiding snares and traps, they shots considerable ingenuity in securing theii comfort They nearly always make • form near, but not touching, the trunk of some large tree. Thus, while securing the shelter of the stem and overhanging limbs, they avoid the water which dralm down to the main column and forms, ai any one may see by looking at the fool of a large timber tree in a meadow, a tiny canal at the base of the trunk. The writer has sometimes seen hares, not lying in their form, but sitting up in such places, just as a laborer shel ters behind a havstaek. Where thers are no woodlands they creep under the irregular overhanging cornice made by the crumbling away of the ib Id be neath the roots in the hedge-banks and there scratch out a snug and dry re treat Rabbits usually keep under ground In their burrows, only coming out to toed, unless their holes are flooded, as often happens after a long course of wet They then leave the warren alto gether, and lie out among the turnips, or even on the open stubbles, huddled up into the smallest possible space, as if they had lost all faith in the possi bility of finding further shelter. Rats have the strongest possible dislike to damp, and on the first approach of settled wet swarm into the stacks and farm buildings. Those whioh spend their lives along the banks of rivers and brooks—a semi-aquatic breed of land rats which resemble the true water rats in all but their vegetarian diet—have a slm plo and clever resource for wet weather. They leave their holes in the banks, and go up into the crowns of the pollard willows which fringe the streams and line the hedges; in these they find warm, dry, and well-drained winter lodgings, safe even in flood-time; for their powers of swimming enable them to shift from tree to tree, and the swarms of snails and inseots which shelter in the hollow trunks provide them with food for a “rainy day." Foxes often lie in these large hollow pollards during very wet weather; and the writer has seen an otter slip from the crown of one of them into the Cher well during an autumn flood. But foxes wore often prefer to Us still jp* I hours curled up in the high grass and | brambles in some thick double-fence, or dry furze-brake. Sometimes, in heavy rain, they are so reluctant to leave their dry quarters, that they do not move until their disturber Is close upon them; and the comical, half-re luctant, and wholly sulky look of an old dog-fox, as he stands hesitating be tween prudence and comfort, should ap peal to the most unsympathetic sports man. Horses and cattle never look so mis erable as when standing exposed to cold and driving rain. Every field in which cattle are turned loose should have some rude shelter provided, how ever rough and hardy the stock. If left to themselves in a state of nature, they would travel miles to some bank or thicket,which would at least give cover against the wind. Shut up between four hedges, they are denied alike the aid of human forethought and of their own instinct. Bewick’s vignettes of old horses or unhappy donkeys, huddled together in driving showers on some bleak common, express a vast amount of animal misery in an inch of woodcut. It seems strange that no animal, unless It be the squirrel, seems to build itself a shelter with the express object of keeping off the rain, which they all so much dislike. Monkeys are miserable in wet, and could easily build shelters, if they had the sense to do so. ‘ ‘As the creatures hop disconsolately along iu the rain,” writes Mr. Kipling, in his “Beast and Man in India,” “or crouch on branches, with dripping backs set against the tree-trunk as shelter from a driving storm, they have the air of being very sorry for themselves.” But even the ourang-outang, which builds a small platform in the trees on which to Bleep at night, never seems to think of a roof, though the Dyaks say that when it is very wet It covers itself with the leave# of the pandanus, a large fern. Birds, some of which carefully roof in the nests in which they rear their young, and even, as in the case of the swallow, choose some existing roof, such as the eaves of a house or a projecting cliff, to cover the nest, when built of materials which wet would destroy, seem incapable of making a waterproof bouse for them selves Grouse and all the fowls of the open moorlands go to the most open and exposed spots, in rain avoiding the thick heather and even the “ peat hags,” in whose hollows they might find shelter. Partridges huddle under the fences, or lie on the driest and barest places on the fallows, apparent ly earing less for shelter above than for dry soil beneath them. Books often flock into thick fir-trees, or in summer take refuge in the old and close-grow ing oaks which line the roadsides But the small and helpless birds, yellow hammers, buntings, chaffinches and linnets seem quite bewildered by the beating storms. They creep into cart ruts or behind tufts of grass; often they take refuge under the big Swede tur nips round the edges of the fields, where they are so numbed and cramped by oold and wet that they may be caught by the hand, or are picked up by stoats and rats, humble and uncon sidered victims of the “plague of rain and waters.”—London Spectator. A Modish Material. For the best dresses that women of moderate means keep for special occa sions there are various inexpensive satin fabrics that wear and look much better than silks of similar low price. For the present season the satin surahs are not heavy enough, and “real satin” is too costly, hence the careful shopper buys the satin duchess or mervellleux, because its surface is closely woven in stead of showing a broad serge-like twill that cheapens the effect at once. These come in olive and moss green, copper red, maroon and golden-brown shades, as well as in blaok, at prices ranging from eighty cents to one dol lar and twenty-five cents a yard. Black is first choice just at the moment, and a skirt of this material now in the dressmaker’s hands is made in the still highly popular enlarged bell shape with a plaited ruche, with rows of jetted gimp above for trimming. This one skirt has, to be worn with it, a stylish coat of satin brocade with cape-eollar and sleeves of velvet, an Eton jacket of satin, like the skirt, opening over a blouse waist trimmed with the jetted gimp; and a low-cut sleeveless corselet bodice of plain blaok velvet to wear with guimpes and fancy waists.— N. V. Post DIGNITY DOWNED. The Deterred Punishment of a Parlor Car Porter. It was on the Houston & Texas Cen tral railroad a few days ago, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. When at the little town of Richardson, on the upper end of the line, two ladies boarded the train and by some mistake were ushered into the Pullman car. That they were ladies their neat and quiet apparel, with their modest, re fined faces, clearly allowed, though their old-fashioned, inexpensive, in deed, cheap, style of dress, indicated that they were in indigent circum stances. My lord in the brass buttons sallied up to them, and, finding out the mistake that led to their being in that instead of the day coach, began to show off his majestic powers of inso lence. He did not notice a gentleman who had boarded the train at the same station and who stood quietly observ ing the scene from the door of the car. This gentleman now advanced, saying: “Be seated, ladies, until we reach the next town, when you can easily enter the other car.” Then, beckoning to the conductor, he added: “Stop the train, L.” “Here, captain?” asked the con ductor. “Yes, here.” There was a pull of the bell rope, the train Btopped and the porter was ejected from the car, the captain saying to him: “Now, walk the fifteen miles to Dallas and study politeness as you trudge along; you are no longer in our employ.” There were a shower of expostulations, pleas for pardon and a shake or two of the fist at the fast-vanishing train, but it vanished for all that. The gentleman who had set him the lesson was a high official of the road. TOO MANY FATHERS. l.im. uUie* Which i oufront the KutslM Swain. A pretty story comes from Russia by way of compensation for the many ugly stories starting there. During' the last Russian war with Turkey the soldiers of a regiment rejoicing In the name of the Kekholmsky regiment found a woman lying dead with a living child in her arms The child was adopted by the regiment and educated at its ex pense. At the close of her school life she took up her abode with her col lective fathers. The other day a young Russian officer demanded the hand of Marie Kekholms kaya, of the regiment. A meeting was called, the parents considered the mat ter, and when young Lieut. Slemmer gave proofs of his good character the regimental consent to the marriage was given. The lieutenant must be a brave man to thus' face a whole regiment of fathers, when one father is usually con sidered rather formidable when tliat particular questiou is to be asked. Ungllih And American Poor. One marked difference between the very poor in the English cities and the corresponding class in American towns' Is that the latter buy their clothing of tailors and manufacturers, and, there fore, get It new,while the English poor, and particularly the English women of low estate, prefer the cast-off finery of “the quality," that is sold at the second hand shops. The result is that the American laborer and his wife make a better appearance in their cheap, but simple and suitable, garments than the London navvy or hawker With a shiny. Ill-fitting broadcloth and his wife in a garish hat with broken feathers, and unfashionable, not to nay bedraggled, skirts. COMPENSATION. All the beautiful scenes of the landscape are shown by the noonday sun; But the darkness of night. When the sun hides its light, Discloses the stars one by one. Men slave to accumulate riches, forgetting that riches take wings; And often the loss Of the glittering dross Turns attention to worthier things. I The shadows that curtain the sightless by a merciful Father are sent; For some that are blind Set the rest of mankind Grand examples of patient content Prosperity ever is courted, affliction is wel corned by few; Yet adversity’s night Oft reveals to the sight Blessings otherwise hidden from view. —Christian Inquirer. NO. 3008, How It Drew a Great Prize in Love's Lottery. “I hardly think, Ezra, that she would suit thee for a wife.” Friend Mary Minton stood at the kitchen table kneading the bread, a snowy cap surrounding her sweet old face like a sort of working-day halo, a white apron tied around her ample waist At sixty her color was as fresh as that of a girl, her eyes blue as the blue heavens above. Ezra, her adopted son—Friend Min ton and his wife had been childless— had just brought in a basket of russet apples, the very last In the corner bin of the barn cellar. He leaned against the kitchen window, playing nervously with the big, velvety leaves of the monster fish geranium that blossomed there. He was a tall, manly-looking young fellow, with clear brown eyes, a fresh complexion, and hair that grew in a curly mat all over his head. Friend Mary’s glance softened as she looked at him. It was evident that he was the very apple of her eye. “Why not, mother?” said he. "1 know the village gossips don’t like the Calverly family; but you’re not one of the gossiping kind.” "She’s very young, Ezra," meditative ly answered Friend Mary, “and very pretty.” “Oh! if you call those crimes—” “Wait a minute, Ezra, thee has not heard me out. I regret deeply that in stead of going to live with Friend War burton, the minister’s wife, she has preferred to enter the factory where there are so many giddy girls and care less young men.” “But the pay was so much better, mother.” “Man doth not live by bread alone,” oracularly answered Friend Mary. "Thee has been carefully brought up, Ezra. Thee must consider what is right and seemly in the way of matrimony. Thy father and 1 would break our hearts if thee went wrong after all our hopes and prayers.” “I trust that X shall never do that, mother. ” “But thee must remember, Ezra, how powerful an influence the wife ex erts over the husband.” “Mother, are you very much set against Eveline Calverly?” Friend Mary hesitated for a moment. “I think it would break my heart, Ezra, ” she answered, “if thee were to wed with a daughter of Heth, like Eveline.” “Then that settles the question,” said Ezra, quickly. “You have done every thing for me, mother. 1 was house less, homeless, friendless, when you took me in and cared for me, and I would be an ingrate, indeed, to turn against your wishes now. But, mother, let me go away for awhile. Let me go to Uncle Aaron, out in Mon tana, until—until I get over this.” Friend Mary lifted her tender blue eyes with a pitying light to his face. “Is it so hard with thee as that, my son,” said she. “Oh, I am sorry! X—X could almost find It In my heart—” "Although,” he interrupted, with a forced laugh, “I’m not by any means so certain that Eveline would have me, even if I asked her. Gerard Winthrop is going there a good deal of late.” “Yes,” quietly spoke Friend Mary, who by this time had patted her white, firm loaves into Shape in their shining oblong pans, all ready for the oven, “and that Is one thing 1 do not like. He Is interested, they tell me, in a great lottery scheme; he is the agent of a company down south. The factory young people have bought tickets, Eveline among the rest.” “Mother, I can hardly believe that.” “The superintendent himself told me, Ezra,” said Friend Mary, closing the open door with a gentle click. "He regretted exceedingly that Winthrop had gained such a footing there. Yes, my son, perhaps thee had better go to Brother Aaron for a few months. Thee needs a change.” So Ezra Minton decided to take the step that seemed like wrenching soul and body apart. Friend Mary counted out his socks, saw to the buttons on his shirts, relined the little leather trunk with pretty paper and shed a few tears into the neat box of handkerchiefs as she packed them away. “If Montana were not such a dis tance off,” she sighed to herself, “or If he could go any other way except by those dreadful flying trains! Thank goodness, 1 never was on one, and, please Heaven, I never will be! To me it seems little short of a tempting of Providence.” sne sai sorrowiuny in me cnimney corner on the evening: of Ezra’s depart ure, paring the russet apples to make a dish of apple sauce. How loudly the kitchen clock ticked! How lonely the great silent room seemed! “I think I did right,” she said to her self, “and yet—” Hush! There was a knock at the loor. The minister’s wife, perhaps, or Janet Golbe, the carpet-weaver, who lived under the mountain, come to bor row the dye-kettle. "Come in, friend, whoever thee may be," said Friend Mary. And Eveline Calverly entered the room, looking, under her little daisy trimmed bonnet, like a veritable daisy herself. “Are you alone, Mrs. Minton?” said she, glancing timidly around. “Oil, 1 want to talk to you so much!" “I am alone, Eveline,” said the widow, her heart involuntarily warm ing toward the pretty, flower-like young thing Ezra hail cared for. “But if thee does not mind, thee may call me ‘Friend Mary.’ It sounds more suit able to my ears ” “If It isn’t too familiar,” faltered Eveline. “You see, I wanted to talk to some one on whom I could depend. I—I have got a lottery ticket here,” showing the white gleam of a strip of paper in her hand. “They coaxed me to buy it, and I am so sorry now. Please tell me what to do.” “Does thee really want my advice, Eveline?” gently asked the Quakeress. “Oh, yes—yesl” cried the girl “Then I would tear the thing up aud cast it into the fire. ” Eveline glanced at the ticket, then at Friend Mary, and then she tore the ticket in two and flung it on the floor “Three thousand and three," said she. “I dreamed one night that it drew a thousand dollars, but it is gone now.” "Thee will feel thy conscience lighter,” said Friend Mary, consoling ly, aB she put her hand on that of the girl. “Art thee sick, Eveline? Thy hand is very cold.” Eveline bursts into a passion of tears. “Sick!” she gasped. “Yes. No! I don't know. He has gone away, Mrs Minton. He never came to tell me good-by. ” "Does thee mean my son Ezra, child?” “Whom should I mean?" “Did thoe expect him, Eveline?” “I didn’t know. I thought perhaps— sh, 1 have been trying so hard to be worthy of him! I have left off going with those girls. Tva refused the lore man’s Invitation to drive with II him. I’ve been reading 'Macaulay's History of England’ and ‘Gibbon’s Rome’ of evenings, and I loved him, Mrs. Minton—oh, I did, indeed—and he never came to tell me good-by. I sup pose I oughn’t to tell you this, but I cannot help it.” Friend Mary moved uneasily in her seat Her heart warmed toward the impulsive young girL She began to think that perhaps she had been too precipitate in her decision. Suddenly Eveline started. So did Friend Mary. “There is some one coming up the Bteps,” said she; “several people. Ory thy eyes, my child!” It was two of the factory girls, eager and breathless They could scarcely find time to salute Fri". '..Mary Min ton before they addressees^, eline Cal verly: “Evy I Evy! your ticket has won a prise. No. 30031 A hundred dollars! They read out the list to-night. Oh, aren’t you a lucky girl, though! We only wish it was us.” Eveline’s glance involuntarily sought the floor, where lay the two torn pieces of the ticket. Jane Chertsey made a grasp at them. “Why, what has happened?” ex claimed she. "But the number is all right. We can paste it together ■gain.” Eveline looked at Friend Mary Min ton. ’ “Give me the pieces, Jane,” said she, and in another second they were blaz ing in the fire. “I will have nothing to do with the lottery, good or bad,” She added. “I am sorry I ever bought’the ticket” “But Evy, you’ve burnt up one hun dred dollars!” screamed Lucy Jane. “I’ve burned up a temptation!” cried the girL “Do you, think 1 would sell my soul for one hundred dollars?” And once more she burst out crying. Friend Mary sat late that night by the kitchen fire. She was thinking. Early the next morning she arose and dressed herself and trotted down to the railway station in time for the seven o’clock train. “I was never on the ears befote,” sbe murmured, “and it’s just like rid ing behind a flying dragon; but for Ezra’s sake 1 must risk it He won’t ■leave Edgefield before night 1 must see him first” Great was Ezra Minton’s amazement that afternoon when the quiet Quaker ess, in her dove-colored gown and poke bonnet, came into the house of her sis ter, Friend Kuhamah Simmons, where he was stopping while he made sundry preparations for his journey. “Mother, what has happened?”" he cried. “Nothing has happened, Ezra,” said Friend Mary, her cheeks very pink, her blue eyes sparkling. “I have trav eled on the railway train. The Lord has been very good to me, and I have not been dashed to destruction, and I think, Ezra, that thee had better change thy plana” “Change my plans, mother?” "Eveline has been with me, Ezra. She loves thee, I think, and I am far on the way to loving her. There is good mettle in the child. Thee must come back home with me, Ezra.” “Do you mean it, mother, that she loves me?” “Come and put the question to her thyself, Ezra,” cooed Friend Mary. “I feel that I have done her some injus tice. Thee must set that right. Oh, my boy! my boy! I always felt that I should be jealous of thy wife, be she whom she might But, Ezra, I don’t feel so any more.” She stooped and kissed his forehead. “Thee must make haste, Ezra. The flying dragon goes back at seven. I do not know that Eveline expects thee, but—” Ezra Minton went back with Friend Mary. And though she had lost her one hundred dollars, poor, lovely, little Eveline had gained a double recom pense—a loving husband and a mother in-law, who helped her in all weak places and fully appreciated her strong points. “For,” softly spoke Friend Mary, “I am always ready to confess when I have been altogether in the wrong.”— Toronto Mail.
