HE advantage of using an article that is pure and always uni
form, is, you are certain of having the same satisfactory results.
Eight prominent Professors of Chemistry, of national reputation,
have analyzed the Ivory Soai', and the variation in each is so
trifling that the quality of the "Ivory " may be considered reliably
uniform. Each pronounced it to be remarkably pure, and a su
perior laundry soap.
A WORD OF "WRNING.
There are many while soaps, each ■ nU:d to bo "just as good as the
1 Ivory' i " they ARE NOT, but like all t un a feite, lack the peculiar and remark
able qualities of the genuine. Ask for ' Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

CAUGHT IN A STORM.
' ''We might just as well have been
standing behind the counter in New
York all these ten days," sighed
Barbara Hale, "for ail the out-of-the
way adventures we've had !"
"Who wants out-of-the-way adven
tures?" said llorcas Dunn scornfully.
"Behind the counter, indeed !"
chimed in Mary Vannecker. 'Can
you breathe in clover-scented air
like this behind the counter? Can
you get a mountain view like this
from Sixth avenue ? What more
would the girl want, I should like to
know?"
Barbara sighed once more, and
shook her head.
"It is all so tame," she said. "It
isn't what I expected at all."
The three girls—Barbara, Dorcas,
and Mary—were sitting on a side
hill, under the shade of a grand old
cedar tree. Barbara, who had once
taken a quarter's lessons in drawing,
had a sketchboard in her lap, and
was trying—with but ill success, it
must be owned—to reproduce the
lovely, ribbon-like curves of the river
that wound its way through the val
ley below.
Mary had her needlework in her
lap, and Dorcas with her hands
clasped under her head, had long
given up all attempt to read the
paper-colored novel that Bhe had
brought with her.
"The sky and the sunshine are so
much better," she said.
They were three shop girls—bright,
ambitious, spirited young things,
full of life and aspirations, even
though they were kept down by the
force of circumstances ; and they
had clubbed together their slender
resources in order to enjoy their va
cation to better advantage.
Dorcas the business member of
the firm, had bought an excursion
ticket first, and travelled out to
Schepp's Valley to see what could
be done. But it is needless to say
that the hotel and boarding-house
prices were far beyond their simple
means.
"Is there no place," she said
"where we could obtain one room
and the very simplest fare, for less
money ?"
"You might try Old Man Mor
ris's," said the portly dame who
kept the Valley house. "It's a quiet
place, and Mrs. Morris she ain't no
great of a cook, but there's them as
has boarded there, I'm told."
"Where is it?" eagerly asked Dor
cas.
And the landlady went to the
door to point out a slender blue
thread of smoke that was curling up
heavenward from a mass of woods
on a distant hill, and once more
Dorcas set forth on her pilgrimage,
this time with undoubted success.
She engaged one room,
hoard, tobe sure, was plain, the
bed a coarse husk mattress, with a
blanket spread on the floor for Dor
cas herself, the furniture home
made and unpainted. But there
was a grove of pine woods in the
rear ; the blackbirds piped their sil
ver flutes all day long, and the bees
darted in and out of the red lilies
by the garden wall, and our three
heroines believed themselves to be
in Paradise.
But even as Barbara Hale thus
bewailed herself, a portentious shad
ow swept across the sun, and look
ing around, they saw that a mass of
livid purple thunderclouds had pil
ed themselves up along the western
sky, while distant inutterings, and
now and then a sudden flash, an
nounced the coming of a storm.
Dorcas sprang to her feet. Barba
ra began hurriedly to fold up her
sketching apparatus, Mary put her
thimble and scissors in her pocket.
"We must get home as quickly as
possible !" cried all three.
But in availing themselves of a
"short cut" across a patch of woods
they got hopelessly lost. The sun
set behind the purple battlement of
clouds, the dusk fell rapidly in these
dense woods, and the rain began to
patter down in huge drops.
Barbara, the aspirant after adven
ture, began to cry.
"We are lost !"she said.
"Lost ? Nonsense !" said brave
Doras.
"When I can see the railroad
track shining down below. Who
ever got lost close to a railway line?
Lets make for the track."
"And get run over," lamented
Barbara.
The
"Not likely when there's only
one train a (lay, and that at
noon," laughed Dorcas, If we walk
we must
along tho railway line
come out somewhere don't you see,"
"And besides," added Mary,
"there is a little ruined cabin not
far from here, where the railroad
flagman used to live before they
changed the location of the station.
I remember Mrs. Morris showing it
to me once."
' Oh ! oh !
shrieked Barbara,
"I couldn't go there ! The flagman
was killed on the track. There's a g
g-gho 8 t there !"
Would you rather stay here and
be drenched through with rain ?"
severely demanded Mary.
"Or struck with lightning ?" ad
ded DorcaB.
And the upshot of it was that the
three fugativgs took refuge in a mis
erable old shanty close alongside of
the railroad track, where weeds
were growing up through the cracks
of the floor, and a plentiful portion
of rain came pattering through the
leaks in the roof, while the old stone
chimney, all settling to one side,
looked as if no stroke of lightning
could harm it very much.
"But it's some shelter," said Mary
cheerfully. "We'll stay here until
the shower is over, and then make
the best of our way home."
The shower, however, showed no
indication of abating in its vigor.
The rain still poured down in sheets
the thunder still bellowed through
the rocky gorges where the little
cabin had been built ; the lightning
still lit up everything with sudden
spurts of blue flame, like pantom
ime effects.
"Oh, dear 1 oh, dear !" said Bar
bara, wringing her hands , it's must
be midnight I"
"It can't be 9 o'clock yet" said
Mary,
And I'm so hungry! Oh, how I
wish I hadn't eat the last of those
sandwiches ! Oh, oh ! what is that ?
fluttered Barbara.
An unusually vivid electrical flash
had revealed something white and
spectral at the window. All three
girls jumped at once.
"The ghost ! " shrieked Barbara,
stopping her ears and shutting her
eyes as tight as was practicable.
"A stray white cow," suggested
Mary.
"A young man in a flannel tennis
suit," said Dorca 9 , the closest ob
sesver of all.
"Don't let him come in," said Bar
bara. "We Bhall be robbed and
murderod !"
"Not while we are three to one,"
said composed Dorcas.
And at the same moment a voice
sounded hurridly at the door :
"Please may I come in ? I know
it seems intrusion, but it's raining a
deluge and I'm wet through."
"Come in by all means," said
Mary.
And the ghost entered, dripping
like a fountain.
"All in the dark ?" said he, grop
ping his way.
"There are no gas jets here," said
Dorcas ironically.
"But we might have a little blaze
ofsticks," hazarded the new arrival,
shaking himself like a Newfound
land dog. "I saw by that last glare
of lightning that there was a heap in
the corner, and I've got my match
box in tact."
"Oh, that would be splendid cried
Dorcas, who was wet and shivering.
"And I've got some fish on a
string outside and we could have
some supper," suggested the ghost,
cheerfully.
"I'm so-o-o hungry !" wailed Bar
bara.
The stranger was evidently used
to mountain camping. He had a
fire kindled in no time, and the fish
cleaned by the aid of his pocket
knife and washed in one of the pools
outside, were presently boiling over
the coals, emitting a most savory
smell.
"You must be a good genius !"
cried Mary.
"I'm only a tramp," said the
ghost, "and I'm ever so much oblig
ed to you young ladies for letting
me in."
"We couldn't have kept you out if
we had tried'" said Dorcas, frankly.
"You don't think I would thrust
myself in here against your wishes ?
Even a tramp wouldn't do that,"
said the young man.
The sticks had blazed cheerfully
up ; the ghost economized them to
keep the flames alive as long as nos

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and
False Teeth.
A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high
shrill nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twittering they get a!.out this nasal
twang, and yet it is a fact, caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere,
and the universal presence of ca
tarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth ?
That is more of a poser to the
English. It is quite impossible to
account for it except on the theory
of deranged stomach action caused
by imprudence in eating and by
want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere
prevail and end in cough and con
sumption, which are promoted by
mal-nutrition induced by deranged
stomach action. The condition is a
modern one, one unknown to our
ancestors who prevented the catarrh
cold, cough and consumption by
abundant and regular uso of what
is now known as Warner's Dog Cab
in cough and consumption remedy
and Log Cabin sarsaparilla, two old
fashioned standard remedies hand
ed down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the
strongest guarantees of purity and
efficacy by the world-famed makers
of Warner's safe cure. These two
remedies plentifully used as the fall
and winter seasons advance, togeth
er with an occasional use of War
ner's Dog Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal
mem' "-'mes, give a positive assur
ance of freedom, both from catarrh
and those dreadful and if neglected,
inevitable consequences, pneumonia,
lung troubles and consumption, that
so generally and fatally prevail
among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem,
Henry Co., Iowa., served four years
in the late war and contracted a
disease called consumption by the
doctors. He had frequent hemor
rhages. After using Warner's Log
Cabin cough and Consumption
remedy, he says, under date of Jan.
19th, 1888. "I do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not
bother me, and I do not have any
more smothering spells." Warner's
Log Cabin rose cream cured his
wife of catarrh, and she is "sound
and well."
Of course we do not like to have
our women called nose talkers and
false teeth owners, but these condi
tions can be readily overcome in
the manner indicated.

Throat,
| We were struck lately by the or
derly behavior of a large family of
children particularly at the table.
We spoke of it to their father ; and
he pointed to a paper pinned on
the wall, on which were some ex
cellent rules. We begged a copy
for the benefit of our readers. Here
it is :—
1. Shut every door after you, and
without slamming it.
2. Don't make a practice of shout
ing, jumping, or running in the
house.
3. Never call to persons upstairs
or in the next room ; if you wish to
speak to them, go quietly to where
they are.
4. Always speak kindly and po
litely to everybody, if you would
ha ve them do the same to you.
ü. Tell of your own faults and
misdoings, not of your brothers and
sisters.
7. Carefully clean the mud or
snow off your boots before entering
the house. x
8 . Be prompt at every meal hour.
9. Never sit down at a the table
or in the sitting-room, with dirty
hands or tumbled hair.
10. Never interrupt any conver
sation, but wait patiently your turn
to speak.
11 . Never reserve your good man
ners for company, but be equally
polite at home and abroad.
12. Let your first, last, and best
confidante be your mother.
The Wrong and Eight Way.
How do parents provoke their
children ?
By unreasonable commands.
By perpetual restriction.
By capricious jerks at the bridle,
alternating with as capricious drop
ping the reins altogether.
By not governing their own tem
pers.
By shrill or stern tones, where
quiet soft tones would.
By frequent checks and rebukes,
and sparing praise.
And what is sure to follow such
treatment by father or mother? In
variably bursts of temper (for which
the child is punished and the parent
is guilty), and then spiritless listless
ness and apathy. "I can not please
him, whatever I do," leads us to a
rankling sense of injustice, and then
to recklessness ; "it is useless to try
any more.
child loses heart, there will be
more obedience. Many a parent,
especially many a father drives his
child into evil by keeping him at a
distance. Ho should make his boy
a companion and playmate, teach
him to think of his father as his
confidant; try to keen his child
to himself than anybody else, and
then his authority will be absolute,
his opinion and oracle, and his
lightest wish a law.
