"What is it they put in Ivory Soap, Doctor, to obtain its healing
qualities ? "
"No special ingredient is used. It is simply because the Ivory
is as nearly pure as it is possible to make soap. Any soap that is
as pure as the Ivory will be equally as healing in its effect, but the
difficulty is to find a soap so pure. The profession recommend this

MASTER AND MAID.
to
the
of
Fifty years ago a young man and
woman stood in the garden of Mas
ter Hapwell's home in Virginia.
Their names were Alice Fairborn
and Edwin Ashburton, and they had
met to bid each other a long fare
well.
Alice was an orphan under the
guardianship of Master Hapwell, a
rich planter. Edwin was about to
make a long voyage, and their part
ing was a sad one.
"I shall see no fairer face than
thine while I am gone," said the
young man, gazing at the lovely
girl.
"Nor I a braver," she replied, and
they kissed each other softly in the
moonlight.
Young Ashburton rode away and
Alice returned to her chamber. A
moment later Master Hapwell came
out from behind the grapevine,where
he had been listening to the conver
sation. His hands were clinched
and he was cursing to himself.
"Foolish boy, to think that he can
steal her from me," he cried, shak
ing his fist at the departing cavalier.
"I and no other shall wed the fair
Alice."
Time passed and Alice heard noth
ing of her lover, who should now be
safe in India. She grieved herself
into a shadow, and not even Master
Hapwell's kindness could console
her. She wasted day by day.
One day a man was announced
who brought news from India. "If
you have newsofMaster Ashburton,"
interrogated her guardian, "tell us,
for we would be glad to know."
"I came from India," said the man.
"A sailor goes to many places ; but
thence the last. And I saw a Mas
ter Edwin Ashburton there, who
came from America, and he bade me
give his reverence and duty to Mas
ter Hapwell and his family. And
all was well with him. And he was
soon to marry a rich young widow
—an Indian widow with a vast for
tune. I saw her. She shimmered
in the sun with jewels, and though
she was as brown as a berry, I fancy
he was content."
"Here is something for thy news,"
said Master Hapwell, putting money
in the fellow's hand, and he went
his way. And then Master Hap
well knelt down beside poor Alice.
"Thou didst love this fellow," he
said, "thou so fair and sweet, and he
will laugh at thy love with his In
dian widow ; and people will eay
that he has jilted thee. My little
girl, let thy pride rise up ; put it out
of their power. Marry me before he
does. I will kiss the hand he throws
away. Marry me. I am always
good to thee, am I not ? It is to
save thy prid î I ask it, though I
have hidden thy love for thee for
years."
He had taki a the right way. Alice
gave him her hand to kies and let
him marry lier when he chose.
There was a great wedding, and
she was as lovely a bride as ever
bad been seen in the colonies,
and afterwards a good wife to
Master Hapwell, though never gay
and merry. And so ten years passed
by, and at the end of that time Mas
ter Hapwell fell ill. His life was in
danger, and his wife nursed him
tenderly, and only left him for half
an hour each day at sunset to breathe
the air in the grape walk. There
one evening as she walked slowly
up and down a man stood before
her. His dress was worn ; his face
was worn also ; he was changed, but
she knew him for Edwin Ashburton
at a glance. And she drew herself
up coldly and looked at him with
disdain. He also looked scornfully
at her.
"So I think you know me," he
6aid. "You have thriven better than
I. You made your nest well—not
in a poor man's heart, but in a rich
man's house.
"I married a man who has been
kind to me," she said. "Master
Hapwell is old, and a man who
needs money ; but at least he did
not try to win a heart and then leave
it. Was I to wait for one who never
wrote me n letter, of whom the first
news I had was that he was wed to
an East Indian widow.
"Alice!" cried Edwin, "I neither
wooed nor married any women. I
wrote thee often. I sent thee gifts.
And when ill fortune fell on me I
hoped for thy sympathy, but
came that thou wert Muster Hap
well's wife, and all that while
letters in answer to mine."
"What gifts didst thou send me?"
asked Alice.
news
no
"A rare shawl, an amber neekiace,
and a fan of peacock's feathers set
with pearls," said Edwin.
And then Alioe cried : "I had the
gifts, but Master Hapwell said they
were from himself."
And then the two spoke at length
and knew that Master Hapwell had
hidden the letters and bribed the
sailor to lie, and that thus he had
parted them.
When Mistress Hapwell returned
to her husband, a change for the
worse had taken place. He never
spoke to her again. He died and
was buried, but his widow wore no
widow's weeds, and to the horror of
the whole plaoe she married Edwin
Ashburton one month from the day
of his funeral.
No one knew her story. "I will
say no ill of the dead," she said to
her Edwin. "Let them think ill of
me. But for ten years—nay, eleven

We will be happy now though the

And so they
seetaed. And they left the land to
gether very soon, leaving gossips to
say what they pleased.
But later in her old age, I think
the woman told the story ; for her
descendants tell it still in the house
that stands where the Hapwell man
sion stood, and show her portrait on
the wall, and the fan of peacock's
feathers, set with pearls, that Master
Ashburton sent from India.
Before it is Born.
Soke Startling Statements of
General Intesest.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Homes, on be
ing asked when the training of a
child should begin, replied, "A
hundred years before it is born."
Are we to infer from this that this
generation is responsible for the con
dition of the race a hundred years
from now ?
Is this wonderful generation the
natural result of the proper diet and
medicines of a hundred years ago ?
Is is conceded in other lands that
most of the wonderful discoveries of
the world in this century have come
from this country. Our ancestors
were reared in log cabins, and suf
fered hardBhsps and trials.
But they lived anden joyed health
to a ripe old age. The women of
those days would endure hardships
without opparent fatigue that would
startle those of the present age.
Why was it ?
One of tlie proprietors of the pop
ular remedy known ns Warner's
safe cure, has been faithfully inves
tigating the cause, and has called to
his aid scientists as well as medical
men, impressing upon them the fact
that there cannot be an effect with
out a cause. This investigation dis
closed the fact that in the olden
times simple remedies were adminis
tered, compounded of herbs and
roots, which were gathered and stor
ed in the lofts of the log cabins, and
when sickness come on, these reme
dies from nature's laboratory were
used with the best effects.
What were these remedies? What
were they used for ? After untiring
and diligent search they have ob
tained the formulas so generally
used for various disorders.
Now the question is, how will the
olden time preparations affect the
people of tliis age, who have been
treated under modern medical
schools and codes, with poisonous
and injurious drugs. This test has
been carefully pursued, until they
are convinced that the preparations
they now call Warner's Log Cabin
remedies are what our much abused
system require.
Among them is what is known as
Warner's Sarsaparilla, and they
frankly announce that they do not
consider the sarsaparilla of so much
value in itself as it is in the com
bination of the various ingredients
which together work marvelously
upon the system. They also have
preparations for other diseases, such
as "Warner's Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy," "Log Cabin
hops and buchu remedy." "Warner's
Log Cabin hair tonic." They have
great confidence that they have a
cure for the common disease of
catarrh, which they give the name
of "Log Cabin rose cream." Also a
"Log Cabin plaster," which they are
confident will supplant all others,
and a liver pill, to be used separate
ly or in connection with the other
remedies.
We hope that the public will not
be disappointed in these remedies,
but will reap a benefit from the in
vestigations, and that the proprie
tors will not be embarrassed in their
introduction by dealers trying
substitute remedies that have b
so familiar to the shelves of our
druggists. This line of remedies will
be used instead of others. Insist
upon your drngists getting them for
you if he hasn't them yet in stock,
and we feel confident that these new
remedies will recieve approbation at
our reader's hands, as the founders
have used every care in their pre
paration.

The sale of roses in this country j
The Beautiful Rose.
amounts to fully 1,000,000 plants a
year at the present time. There are
no statistics by which the exact num
ber can be learned, but a knowledge
of the extent of cultivation by the
principal propagators enables us to
estimate roughly as above stated.
The probability is that the annual
sale exceeds considerably rather than
falls short of this amount. These
plants are almost wholly raised on
their own roots, as budded plants,
which at one time were quite com
mon, have fallen into disrepute and
will now scarcely command a pur
chaser. The popular judgment in
this respect is no doubt right, and
will be sustained. Budded plants,
except with some weak growing va
rieties, will never again be in vogue,
and the number of excellent varietie
of vigorous growth is so great that
delicate growers will be discarded
for this fault alone, no matter what
other good qualities they may pos
sess. The rose is the most highly
prized, and, next to the geranium,
the most generally cultivated flow
ering plant. These remarks apply
to amateur cultivation. Professional
florists make rose growing a very
prominent part of their business,
and immense quantities of flowers
are raised during the winter season
for cutting. The statement is made
by a competent authority that in
1855 "the trade sold 24,000,000 cut
roses." This indicates to some ex
tent the popularity of this particular
flower.—[Vick's Magazine.
Cheese Straws. —There are vari
ous recipes for making cheese straws,
but an English authority on culinary
matters claims that the following is
the genuine original way of making
this now fashionablo delicacy :
Take two ounces of the best pastry
flour and mix with it a little pepper
and salt, together with just a dust of
cayenne. Rub in two ounces of but
ter as for pie-crust, and when these
are thoroughly incorporated add two
ounces of grated cheese (Parmesan
preferable, but any dry, strong sort
will do.) Work the mixture to a
Binooth paste with the yolk of an
egg. Should there not be sufficient
moisture in the yolk of one egg, use
part of another, or a very little lemon
juice, but on no account add water,
which has a tendency to make the
crust tough. Work the paste till it
is smooth and stiff, and roll it till
about one-eighth of an inch thick.
Then cutintostraws about five inches
long and one-quarter of an incli wide.

I was made between two prominent
j citizens on Monday which was some
what novel in its conditions. The
Republican is, in case Cleveland
should be elected, to furnish the
Democrat with all the oysters and
clams that he and his family may
wish to consume during the winter,
and if Cleveland carries New York
by over 5,000 majority, he is to fur
nish every newspaper reporter in the
city a box of cigars worth not less
than $5. If Harrison shall bo elect
ed the Democrat is to pay the Re
publican's expenses to Europe or to
California, and the Republican must
go as the Democrat orders, whether
it be convenient or not. If New
York gives Harrison a majority of
over 3,000 the Democrat is to margin
nil the wheat deals of the Repub
lican until January 1. This agree
ment is duly signed, sealed and de
livered into the hands of a third
party and is a bona fide thing.—

A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are ver
ious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
theThroatand Lungs than any other. It
is probable that everyone, without exce
pt eon, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at tirst slowly and
is shown by a slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head,
causing Catarrh. Now all this is danger
ous and if allowed to proceed will in time
cause death. At the outset vou must act
with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lnnga or Nostrils, obtain a bot
tle of Boschee's German Syrup. It will
give you immediate relief.
Every day is a little life and our
whole life is but a day repeated.
'Tis not best to suffer pain for even
one little day, when one application
of Warner's Log Cabin Extract will
drive it quick away. Nothing better
for external or internal application.
