LIFE'S HEROES.
Not alone is he a hero who is brave where
cannon thunder,
, Or with ardor hastes to mingle in the camag
of the strife;
Greater deeds by noble soldiers oft eliei
naught of wonder,
For th? field whereon they act them is the battlefield
of life.
Tis not always he whose name is blazoned
fair in song and story,
Who most merits from his fellows glowing
tributes to his might;
Oft a higher, purer hero acts a part unknown
to glory.
Acts it simply as his duty, struggling bravely
in the right.
trilling venture?, deed- uncommon, feats of
rash, instinctive daring,
Do not always mark the presence of a courage
re:u ana i rut-;
Better far the reasoned labors of a heart no
efforts sparing,
First, to know what act is proper, then that
net, with strength, to do.
Call him hero, if he wish it, who in storm or
conflagration
Risks his life in deadly peril to preserve a
* v - friend or foe.
Yet the deed, though brave, may cost hiin far
less trouble and vexation
Than the slightest manly effort to restrain
his passion's flow.
E'en ignoble men, and hardened natures,
coarse and wholly brutal.
Sometimes spurred by love of plaudits, seem
to net a noble role.
But their aim is base and selfish, and their
claims will e'er prove futile,
If they wish their names, as heroes, fairly
wrought on Honor's scroll.
See the oft-recurring struggles?daily corns'
. bats, trials bitter,

for celestial crown:
Is not he who here is victor far more worthy,
better, fitter
To receive our cheering plaudits?win a lasting
bright renown? ,
Some there are, both high and lowly, who
repine noi wnen iney re .sumi-en,
Cheerful while their spirits quiver 'neath
affliction's heavy rod.
These are heroes, brave and true ones, and
their names are ever written,
Not on fleeting human records, but in vol^
umes penned by God.

MISS~KATE'S AUNT.
"Yes, he's just the man for Miss
Kate," said Mrs. Pierrot, who was not
a Frenc hwoman, notwithstanding her
name, but only a Frenchman's wife.
From long association, and from
listening to that gentleman's conversation,
she had imbibed French principles
to a sullicient extent to make her
quite approve of the iuariage de convt
nance, and Mr. Pierrot, as his American
neighbors called him, quite agreed
with his wife's remark.
In fait, the lirst suggestion that the
man in question, who was Mr. Hugh
Sherbourne, should marry " Miss Kate,"
had come from M. Pierrot; and had,
after some familiarizing herself with
the idea, come to be a fixed fact in the
mind of Mrs. Pierrot.
"Miss Kate" was a lady of rather
xmcertain age, whom those interested
in her thought had remained "Miss
Kate"' ouite Ions enough.
She lived in a pretty little cottage
not far from the Pierrots, and was
indeed their landlady; and Mr. Slierbourne
was their rich and rather eccentric
lodger, who had met Miss Kate
once or twice in Mrs. Pierrot's parlor,
and had become curiously interested in
her because of a real or fancied resemblance
which she bore to a former
friend of his?which former friend, as
the Pierrots had taken pains to discover,
was an.object of an unhappy attachment.
As for Miss Kate on first meeting
Mr. Sherbourne, and being introduced
to him, she had turned violently
reil, then equally pale, aud had alto? ?
gether shown such emotion and embarrassment
that the Pierrots never
had any doubt but that she had met
her fate and had surrendered at discretion.
From that hour the two matchmakers
determined that Mr.Sherbourne
should marry Miss Kate; and at once
entered into various little conspiracies
for forwarding their design.
But the object was gained. Miss
Kate had got into the habit of dropping
into her neighbor's house quite like one
r of the family, and being there she was
frequently begged to remain to tea,
and then, as the evenings was short, it
was too dark for a lady to go home
|T~ * " - alone, even so short a distance as that
between Mrs. Pierrot's house and Miss
Kate's.
Naturally then, Mr. Sherbourne being
of a gallant style, notwithstanding
I** his disappointment in love, always
accompaniedherjand thus a friendship
?p which was an excellent good substitute
for a more romantic passion, according
to the Pierrots, gradually sprang up
fy between these two amiable people.
From walking home with Miss Kate,
h Mr. Sherbourne soon came to calling on
her of his own accord, and everything
went on in a manner to all appearauces
quite satisfactory to the Pierrots. And
to that remark of Mrs. Pierrot's, with
H which this brief chronicle begins, Mr.
Pierrot responded in a tone of intense
CUli Y XC 1/lVll.
"Of course, as I have always said,
cheri, he is the very man for Miss
R?^\ Kate; but tell me, mon ami, has he
asked lier yet; has she told you anything
absolute?"
"She tells me anything?eveiything,
Kpj I think," said Mrs. Pierrot, musingly,
"but she has never said explicitly, in
BRSp^.. so many words, that she is going to
marry him, or even that he has plainly
asked her to do so, yet I have got the
? impression, somehow, that they are enSllliPl
Hum-m!" said Mr. Pierrot reflectively.
Jn his country, he could not
help thinking, young ladies, especially
elderly young ladies, were not so
fc mysterious; and if they had an engagement
to announce, were apt to be rather
in a hurry to publish the fact, instead
E* of keeping it a dead secret.
Mrs. Pierrot continued:
ps_ "The fact is, L suppose, h uepenua
somewhat on that aunt of Miss Kate's,
of whom we hear now and then. My
? impression is that the aunt's consent
will be necessary before Miss Kate will
even listen to a proposal, far less
? promise to marry any one. I know
Katie sets great store by her aunt?it
is always what will auntie say?and
will auntie like it?or would auntie
be willing I should do so and so? "
" Well, well! I wish this mysterious
auntie would?what you call it??put
' in an appearance," laughed Mr. Pierrot
" anyhow, I hopeshe won't be the means
of keeping Miss Kate from making s
good match?probably her last chance
too."
SsT A few days later Miss Kate cam<
over quite early in the day?an un
?*' \ usual thing, for her calls were generallj
made in the evening, and ;is soon as
Mrs. Pierrot saw her she felt that i
crisis of some kind had come.
" What is it, dear ? " she asked wit!
the quick sympathy natural to th(
j?- ^ feminine temperament on such oc
casions. " Something has happened, J
i am sure."
"Yes, dear Mrs. Pierrot," answered
Miss Kate all in a flutter, "my aunl
has come and I have left them to
gether."
"He has proposed then?actually
proposed?"
"Oh, yes, long ago," Miss Kate
laughed, and added with a blush, " and
was accepted too."
" And you never told me!" murmured
Mrs. Pierrot reproachfully.
" Jiiy Utitr X1JCI1U, X tuiuuu IrUUVil
aunt came," said Miss Kate, deprecatingly.
" And now you have left them to
gether," said Mrs. Pierrot. "Well sh<
won't be so mad as to refuse her con
sent. She won't send him away."
" Oh, no; she will never send hiir
away any more," Miss Kate murmured
k dreamily; and though the phras<
} seemed extravagant to Mrs. Pierrot
H she only smiled, and was careful not t<
I intrude on her friend's happy musing*
r except by an occasional sympathetic re
pr mark.
The timepassed,minutesintoquarter
I hours, and quarters into hours, bul
I Miss Kate seemed in no hurry to return
U to her enamored swain.
HP At last Mrs. Pierrot, who began tc
get out of patience with her calmness,
dreaminess, content?whatever it was
?said: "Kate, you do take tilings
eoollv, I must say. I'm sure Hugh
Sherbourne must bo tired waiting for
you. lie has surely said all he could
possibly have to say to your aunt by
this time."
441 am not at all sure of that," Kate
returned with a sparkle of mischief in
her quiet, soft gray eyes. "My aunt
is thought by many people to be a very
lovely and charming woman."
"Lovely and charming!" repeated
Mrs. Pierrot with a toss of her head,
figuring to herself as Monsieur would
have said, some tyrannical old gorgon
of sixty, " Pray, what may be her age?
?this lovely and charming relative of
yours."
"Aunt Nell will be twenty-one her

Bargaining With a Pump.
Some thirty years ago an intemperate
man was reformed by being refused
one cherry. Penniless he went
to the public house one morning where
lie had squandered many a shilling, to
get a drink " on tick." The landlady
- ti-not liixi ;l uhllp
"Twenty-one!" streamed Mrs. Pierrot.
" Vou are laughing at me; it's
impossible: why. you are yourself?"
"Just thirty-one my last birthday,"
Miss Kate concluded, seeing that her
friend had paused, unable to complete
her sentence.
" People are usually surprised at first;
but the explanation is quite simple and
natural. 1 was ten years old when
Xell was born. You see we were a
large family, and I was the first child
of the eldest daughter, who, having
married very young, made me a grownup
niece to a baby aunt, and lots of
fun it was, for I was lovely Nell's
favorite nurse, and almost brought her
up by hand, for poor grandma never
recovered."
Uv this time Mrs. Pierrot had somewhat
recovered her breath. She started
up hastily, put on a hat and mantle,
and exclaiming, " I should like to see
this wonderful aunt of yours,'"started
at once for the front door, closely accompanied
bv Miss Kate. As soon as
they had reached the street, the latter
continued.
" I was just going to ask you to go
with me and be introducer! to my
i aunt?in fact, that was partly why
I came over, you see, Xell was married
at eighteen?."
"Married!" exclaimed Mrs. Pierrot
with another cry of astonishment, and
insensibly her pace slackened?she was
not in such desperate haste to reach
.Miss Kate's house. " And is she still
married, then?"
*' "Well she hasn't divorced her husband,
though she once thought of doing
so. for there was a terrible misunderstanding
between them, but that is
hannilv made right now."
' And lie is still living?she's not a
widow; the husband, I mean?" Mrs.
Pierrot gasped out in great confusion,
but Miss Kate understood her.
"She is certainly not a widow," she
answered.
"Ifow interesting; tell me all about
it. There's no need for us to hurry
so,'* and Mrs. Pierrot's pace slackened
still more; and by the time they had
reached Miss Kate's house the matchmaking
lady had learned much regarding
the youthful aunt, but not sufficient
to prepare her for the scene that met
her gaze on entering the co/.v little
parlor where sat IlughSherbourne and
Miss Kate's aunt.
A beautiful girl, or such she seemed,
with hair of gold and eyes like purple
violets, sat beside Mr. Sherbourne, and
was indeed half embraced by his strong
protecting arm, while his hand held
both her two little snow-white hands
within one strong clasp. The beautiful
girl colored a little more deeply,
but made no effort to draw away from
her companion's embrace, while he
laughed slightly, as he said by way of
introduction:
" Dear Mrs. Pierrott, this is my wife!"
and in the same breath Miss Kate said,
"And my Aunt Nell, dear Mrs. Pierrot."
Later that day, when Mrs. Pierrot
described the scene to her husband, his
look of consternation afforded her
some satisfaction; and when he said,
"Nevertheless, mon amie, 1 still think
he was just the man for Miss Kate,"
his cara sposa responded:
"And so do I, my dear Pierrot!"

Insects Visiting: Flowers.
Mr. A.W.Bennett and Mr. R. M.
Christy have been reporting to the
Linna-an society of London the result
of their observations on the visits of
insects to flowers. As respects preference
for particular colors, Mr. Bennett
has noticed among the Lepidoptera
that seventy visits were made to red
or pink flowers, five to blue, fifteen to
yellow and five to white; the Diptera
paid nine visits to red or pink, eight
to yellow and twenty to white; Hyinenoptera
alighted 303 times on the red or
pink flowers, 126 on blue, eleven on
yellow and seventeen on white (lowers.
Mr. Christy records in detail the movements
of seventy-six insects, chiefly
bees, when engaged in visiting 2,400
flowers. He tabulates the same,
notably the bees, decidedly and with
intent confine their successive visits to
the same species of flower. According
to him, also, butterflies generally
wander aimlessly in their flight; yet
some species, including the Fritillaries,
are fairly methodical in their habit.
He believes that it is not by color alone
that insects are guided from one flower
to another of the same species, and be
suggests that the sense of smell may
be brought into play. Bees, he avers,

Setting Hens.
This is the season when hens run
, mad, and will not be comforted unless
, they can hide away somewhere and sit
day and night on a wooden nest-egg
or an old door-knob. Several men
were discussing this question in a
grocery store one evening recently. A
i man who owns a large flock of Dorkings
remarked: "Not even an act of
Congress can break up a settin' hen.'
, 'Ever tried jammin' 'em under a bar[
rel an' pourin' water on 'em?" de;
manded the man on the sugar barrel.
"Yes," said the Dorking man, "I've
, poured water on 'em till they grew web[
footed, like a blamed duck, and after!
ward found 'em in an old coal hod settin'away
on lumps o' coal." "Tie a
i red rag round one wing," said a man
; who was eating cheese and crackers.
. "That'll fix 'em." " Might's well offer
5 'em a chromo," said the Dorking man.
i "I tied a whole red woolen shirt on
t one last spring, an' dog my cats if she
didn't make a nest of it an' set three

' grocer said it was time to close up,

Mules in the Mines.

j J?ig Mountain colliery, near Shenan\
doah, were lirst put in operation,
[ seven dazed and dazzled mules, which
for live years had seen no brighter
I luminary than a Davy lantern,
I turned tail and lied into the depths of
the mine. The workmen tell interesting
stories about the habits of colliery
mules, their toughness, their contentment,
and their total depravity. Several
months aero the lower levels in
' the largest colliery at St. Clair were
' flooded, work was stopped, and all the
mules were hoisted to the surface.
1 More than a dozen of them had passed
eleven continuous years in the mine,
and had apparently forgotten that
there was a world of grass and sunshine,
for when they were turned out
" to pasture they huddled together in
evident alarm, and for a whole day
did nothing but gaze at earth and sky.
i The probability is that they were at
first blinded by the glare?a common
J experience with their kindred under
' existing circumstances. Just as they

work was resumed in the mines, and

his money was gone. He went to the

him for only one pint.
With an indignant look of scorn and
contempt she replied: "Trust thee!

The bargain was kept, and this man
afterward became a respectable manufacturer,

Shooliu;* Fish in Fiji.
Xear my house there is a rocky
promontory jutting out some way into
the sea, with a coral reef round its
base; at high water there is some three
fe.-t over this reef, and lishof all kinds
come on it fevding. From the summit
of this promontory?which is aboat
seventy feet liigli? there is a eapiuu
view of the reef, and as the clear water
hides it no more than thougn it were
covered by a >heet of plate glass, the
lisli and their movements are plainly
visible. From this elevated spot,
armed with a Martini-Ilenrv rille, it
does not require a very good shot to
put a bullet over a lisli in the- water
below. It is wonderful what destruction
the concussion of the bullet with
the water causes among a shoal of
small fish; I have killed ninety-eight
with one shot. The bullet only actually
touched one or two; the rrst were
completely stunned, and several had
fieir eyes forced out. These ninetyeight
lisli weighed twenty pounds.
Mullet, that come past in great numbers,
and keep on the surface, afford
most excellent snots, una aru my
most numerous victims. Sharks and
other large fish, besides turtle,
I have killed, but unless
they are near the surface, so that
they get tliefull force of the bullet, it
is useless firing at them. I am for
tunate in having an excellent retriever,
who retrieves the dead lisli very well,
though he runs some danger at times
in lishingyuing sharks. Stinging rays
grow to a gr< a* size out here, and one

the coral reefs twice every year. They

From Death to Life.
It seldom happen-; in real life that a
foung lady three years after being envelop
d in li<r burial shroud and
placed in her eollin as dead becomes a
Dright and luvppv bride, yet such a ronance
has recently developed in Baltimore,
whera -Miss Mary (Jrillith, a
eaiitifid young la ly of about twentymo
summers, was married to Mr.
\*ivian Neale.
Several years ago, when the young
ady was residing in Cincinnati, she
lad a terrible fall down a flight of
itaiis and received injuries which were
ionsideml fatal. Several prominent
physicians called to see her, and pronounced
her case hopeless. One day
ho young girl grew much worse, fell
.nto a comatose state, and, as it was
;hought, die I. The body was prepared
for burial and exposed f< r two days in
t casket to the view of friends. The
lay of the funeral arrive 1. and, at the
Ippointed time, the carriages and
iear.-e dr ive up to the door. .lust as

It is said that "albinos," or white

It plays a good deal, and is quite
a pet. In Fluvanna county, Va., during
the winter just gone, a sportsman
shot a white partridge. The bird's
plumage is as white as that of a seagull.
It was sent to Richmond, where
it has been stuffed and mounted as a

Various travelers have observed in
deserts, on mountain?, in forests and

sound like the tolling of distant bells.
The phenomenon is doubtless produced

of particles of sand rolling under the
feet. To prove the correctness of the
former view, M. Forel has made a
very pretty experiment, in which he
has, as he believes, reproduced the phenomenon
artificially. Taking his rille

My dear Friend?Your kind favor containing
congratulations on my restoration to
health is before me. When we parted thirty
months ago little did we imagine that either
would be brought near death's door by a disease
which selects for its victims those who
present an internal field of constitutional
weakness for its fir3t attack, because you and
I were in those days the personification of
health?and can claim this to-day,thank God!
Why I can do so will be told to-morrow,when
wo meet at your dinner, as you only know
that I have passed through a terrible illness;
my delivery from death being due to the
mnnflnrfnl rlicrnvprv ill medical ScienCC.
made by a man who to-day stands in the
front rank of his fellow workers?nneoualed
by any in my own opinion. That I, who
heretofore have ever been the most orthodox
believer in the old school of medicine, its
application and results, should thus recant
in favor of that which is sneered at by old
Ernctitionere, may startle you, but "seeingis
elieving," and when I recount the attack
mado on my old hulk, how near I came to
lowering my colors, and the final volley
which, through the agency above mentioned,
gave me viotory, you will at least credit me
with just cause for sincerity in my thankfulness
and belief. I will also spin my yarn
anent my China cruise, and altogether, exEect
to ontertain as well as bo entortained
y you. With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Rear Admiral U. 8. Navy.
Hon. George Wendell,
Sinclair Place, Boston.
An autumnal afternoon in the year 188found
the taut flagship Nomad rounding
the treacherous and dangerous extremity of
South America. And this day certainly intended
to place itself on record with those of
its predecessors marked stormy, its nastiness
in wind and weather giving all hands
on board the flagship their fill in hard work
and discomforts. The record of the Nomad
on this cruise, which she was now completing
on her homeward bound passage to Boston,
had been most disagreeable, when considered
in the light of heavy weather work.
From Suez to Aden, then on to Bombay,
Point do Galle, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Shanghai, Nagasaki and Yokohama, the
balance sheet stood largely in favor of old
Neptun-.-'s rough characteristics, but with
remarkable evenness the health and original
rosier of the ship's company stood this day
as it did nearly three years ago?with one
exception. Throughout the diverse and
varied exposures incidental to cruising over
the Asiatic station, where cholera, fevers,
Tnnlflrio ntwl /Vtlflci f\f fll 1
11VC1 CUIilJUtliXALO, 1UU1UUU, MMM ?...
degrees reign in fall force, none of the crew
had suffered more than temporary inconvenience,
and thns it aeemed very hard that
now, in the closing days of the cruise, there
stood nine chances for, to one against, a victory
being at last scored for tho destroying
angel Death. When the Nomad reached
Shanghai in the early portion of her cruise
her admiral was the healthiest man aboard.
A grand specimen of manhood was he. Over
six feet in height, weighing two hundred
pounds, broad in chest and strong in limb,
he rightly claimed for himself a full share of
Nature's blessings. While returning late one
night from a diplomatic reception at the
Consulate at Shanghai, through overheating
and insufficient protection from the dangerous
effects of the peculiar damp and
searching night air. he caught cold. "Only
a cold," remarked the admiral to the doctors
of his ship, "and easy to cure." So thought
the medical officers, but with a quiet though
insidious progression, this cold clung to tne
admiral in spite of their best efforts to eradicate
it, and when the timo came for leaving
Yokohama, homeward bound, the admiral realized
that his lungs and throat were decidedly
out of order. The doctors advised returning
home by mail steamer to San Francisco,
bo that greater means for curing this
persistent cough might be found in the
Naval Hospital there; but the admiral preferred
to stick to his ship, still imagining
that his trouble would eventually bo overcome
by the doctors' treatment.
No one who looked at the admiral even in
those days imagined that he would fall a
victim to lung trouble. But it was the old
story again typified in this case. Only a
cold at first; and in spite of orthodox treatment
the peculiar climatic effects of China
nursed it, and hastened the sure result of
such a deep-seatea trouDie. lime pnsfeu mier
leaving Yokohama- for Boston, bringing
varying symptoms in the admiral's case, and
the doctors imagined that they held the disease
in check at least. But with the formation
of tubercles, night-sweats and the now
rapid consumption of lung tissues, which
had set in with alarming symptoms, the patient
realized that his cold had laid the seeds
of that fell agent of Death, ronsumplioti.
The hacking couj^h of the admiral had in
itself been sufficient food for serious consideration,
and now, as in the warm autumn
days the flagship gallantly rode over the
bluo waters of the Pacific, bound for Cape
Horn, the doctors hoped much for success.
But tliis boisterous afternoon found thegood
ship struggling with gigantio seas setoff
from the Cape by a fierce northerly wind.
Leaden were the heavens and sad the
hearts of all aboard, for that morning the
usual bulletin of the medical officers had set
forth this intelligence: "The admiral is in
same condition as reported last night. A
burning fever has been slightly reduced,
while other symptoms are as heretofore announced."
All understood these words
without questioning. The beloved admiral
nnil during the pa*t two weeks sunk very low.
The symptoms of blood-poisoning, a torpid
liver, intense pains throughout the body,
eyesight and mental faculties affected, appetite
gone, through inaction of that great regulator?the
liver. Theao wero the means
which h.iil Tfidupfid thn ndmirn.1 from the
I pinncle of health to the vulley and shadow of
death. Consumption held full sway* now,
and the well-known skill of naval doctors
was in this instance at least completely
foiled.
The admiral had issued orders for the flagship
to touch at Montevideo for coal, and it
was tho intention of the doctors to land the
admiral there for treatment. But one man
in the ship was wrapped in the gloom of despair,
as standing by tho weather rigging on
the poop deck he gazed absently over the
seething waste of waters. This was the admiral's
son, a lieutenant, and attached to
his father's staff. He feared that the wear
aud tear of ship life would sap his father's
ftrength beyond endurance, and before the
ship could reach Montevideo. Among a
group of sailors gathered around one of the
great guns on tho spar deck stood the captain
of the foretop, Brown, a slight but healthylooking
man. His companions were listening
to a recital of his sufferings from consumption,
which had developed while he was
attached to tho sloop-of-war lianyer, lying
in tho harbor of Yokohama a year ago, this
"yarn" having been started by n discussion
about the admiral's condition. Tho men had
just returned from some work around the
deck, an order for which 1 a l interrupted
Brown's story a few moments previously.
" A year ago this day I was hove to m tne
*pill man's' sick bay in the Hanger, then off
Yokohama, an' I tell you, parus, 'twas no
use pi pin' my number, 'cause I was nigh on
passin' in my enlistment papers for a long
cruise aloft," continued Brown. "Consumption
had me llat aback, and the doctor
says it was no use to stow away his lush in
my hold seoin' that my bellows was condemned
by a higher power than he could
wrastle with."
"How did you pucker out of it?" asked a
gunner's mate.
"Wa'all," replied Brown, "my Chinee
washman came to mo one morniu' an' he
fays to mo, "mo hab got allee same Melican
man mcdikin, do you heap good!' I says,
'bring it off, Chang; I buy all tho same.'
'1 h it afternoon Chang hove up with fourteen
bottles of a lush, enough to kill or cure the
whole ship's crew, an' that looked fresh in
their nice wrappers. Says Chang. 'China
man doctor hab got plentee more, lie make
heap good well with my sick, this number
rm? tnKrliL-f.n n1l,'f> anmn tlimnrrh Ynknhfimn.'
Wa'all, I took the bottles an' told the doctor
I was goin' to try nne !is by the sailin' orders
on the bottle, and the doctor he laughed
and said 'twas no good, but I done as the
regulations says from the tirst, an' here I
am, ag'in tho doctor's ideas, to be sure!"
With this triumphant assertion Brown
looked about the circle. Then, lowering his
voice, said: "Boys, I've four of those
precious bottles left?ain't give 'em all
away yet after I was cured?an' if you a'l
think that it would not be too free with tho
'old man,' suppose 1 go to his sou there on
the poop deck an' say what I have to you,
an' askiti' his pardon, say wo want the admiral
to try the stutf in my bottles, scein'
that they cured my consumption."
This idea met with approval from all
sides. Therefore Brown walked off for an
interview with the admiral's son, with 110
little anxiety in his good heart as to the remit
of his mission. Approaching the lieutenant,
Brown saluted, and asked for permission
to state his reasons for doing so.
This was readily granted, and Brown spoke
out.
"Seeing that I was once cured of consumption,
lieutenant, I make bold to ask
if I can tell you how, an' why I've tho roasons
for wishing you to use on your father
wn<. TV.V inn."
in n few moments the lieutenant had
Brown's story out, anil n:nch to the latter's
gratification, granted a ri ady permission to
liiin. It did not take Brown long to run to
his ditty box, (jot the bottles of medicine,
and return to the lio:itcirint with them.
" I'm afrared that tho doctors will kick
ag'iu tho use of this blessed stutf, an'
what w ill you do, sir," said Brown, as ho
placed the medicine in tl e cabin orderly's
linn Is to be taken into the admiral's room.
' I will attend to that, Brown, and rest assured
that your remedy will have a fair trial
in spile of any opposition. It will not harm
my father, jmlyinjf from your statement and
I ho opinion of the Medical oflicers of tho
l.'n
' 'litiink you, sir, nn' Goil help the admiral
to weather his trouble, is the prayer of all
tho ship," 8-tiil Brown, as tho lieutenant
turned to enter tho cabin.
There was no cessation in tho storm that
evening. The gale howled through tho rigging
in wild, discordant tones; the great ship
labored through tho white-capped mountains
of water threatened to engulph her
with each burst of tlioir storm-whipped
crests. Within the admiral's cabin the Argand
lights, the comfortable furniture, and
tho numerous evidences of tho admiral's
wanderings over laud and water, as displayed
in choice bric-a-brac and trimmings, gave
to tho room a warm, snug appearance, most '
pleasing this wild night to those within. In i
ins stateroom lay tho admiral, made com- i
fortablo by all that loving hands and willing j
hearts could suggest. By his side sat his i
son, who in quiet voice was recounting to |
his father the interview with Brown, and tho |
opposition met with from the doctors when
tho idea of giving this new medicine was !
broached.
" You \Voro sleeping at the time, father, I
and therefore missed a laughable scone, j
| made so. in spite of your condition, by the !
intense dislike displayed by the doctors for |
this 'now-fang'e.l .-tutf,' this 'patent liquid,'
which they declared with their consent
should never be given to you. Well, I cut
tho matter short by saying that I would take
ill the responsibility, and With your permiseipn
would administer it. That I obtained
when l rouna von awaaei and now yon are
under way with the first bottle as per directions.
I am satisfied* dear father, that it
will do yon good, a premonition filling my
heart that at last we have found the means
of arresting the burning fever and hacking
cough which have been troubling you so
much."
The admiral's replj; was cut short by a
severe spell of coughing, during which he
spat blood, and when finished sank back exhausted.
But the grateful look which he bestowed
on his son was an additional assurance
of belief in that which the admiral had
at first sight dubbed aa a possible but doubtful
means of doing him any good. But laying
aside his dislike for any but old-established
remedies, the admiral acquiesced in
his son's request, and now, after this last
spell, admitted that the effect of the dose
hnd softened the dreaded severity of the
racking cough.
* * * * *
Three weeks later found the Nomad making
the harbor of Montevideo. After severe
and prolonged weather she had rounded the
Cape and was now standing in the harbor
for the purpose of recoaling and watering.
To one given to tho study of human line iments
the faces of those aboard the flagship
this bright morning would have afforded infinite
scope for such pursuit. But the source
of each man's happiness flowed from the
same fountain of grateful joy. The beloved
admiral was the cause of this. And why?
If you could have seen the admiral this
bright morning, dear reader, your answer
would have been easily found in his face. A
changed man was he. Victory wns perched
on his guidons! the dread enemy was s'owly
retreating! The fi^ht was a severe or.?, but
with no cessation in vigilant action and careful
application of the contents of four
bottles the admiral had turned the flank of
consumption, and was slowly but surely
driving him off the field with a power which
astounded the doctors and filled all hearts
with joy and thankfulness.
What was this then that had won the victory
for the seaman Brown, and was now
leading the admiral's shattered forces to the
samo grand result? When asked this question
by one of his officers on duty, in Montevideo,
the admiral, slowly lifting his hand,
replied, "I would that in letters of gold, and
so placed that all the world could read them,
the name of this great remedy coulcl be
shown, coupled with the genius who discovered
it?'The Golden Medical Discovert!
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,' the man who
has given to his fellow men the greatest lelicf
from all ills that mortal flesh is heir to!"
" This is the name of the contents of that
bottle on my table, and God bless the man
who lias found the secret of filling it with a
medicine at once purifying and strengthening,
wholosome and thorough in its results,
and claiming, in my humble opinion* nothing
for itself that it cannot reasonably inform.
Nature's ally against th? abuse of
man!"
Well might the admiral sing the praises of
that which had so unexpectedly rescued him
from a fatal illness. When the ship anchored
the first commission for the admiral's son to
execute was a large purchase of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which, as the admiral
sadly admitted, he had seen in every
port the world around and had only admired
as an evidence of the energy and enterprise
of an American who could thus place his
Mo/UpmI nismvfirv in every nook
and corner of the globe. But now lie was
one more to testify to the wonderful power
of this medicine, and certainly -^'d so in
Montevideo, by praising it up to all the high
officials who visited him.
A week later and the Nomad sailed for
Boston direct. What the condition of the
admiral was when she arrived there is shown
in his letter above. Let it be recorded to the
credit of the doctors on the flagship that
they were completely cured of all dislike for
the Golden Medical Discovery, nsed it faithfully
on the voyage to Boston, and landed,
through its wonderful power, the admiral
completely restored; and more than one poor
fellow win started out in the sick bay of the
' Nomad. What stanch friends the Golden
Medical Discovery made in that ship!
The above, reader, is an outline of the
story, spun by the admiral to his friend when
they met at the dinner. We will not touch
on othe - portions of his interesting recital
of his cruise in general, oar aim being to record
his testimony for the greatest wond*r
in medical science that this nineteenth century
of surprising developments has produced.
From the wonderful power of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery over that terribly
fatal disease, consumption, which is scrofula
of the lungs, when first offering this now
world-famed remedy to the public, Dr.
Piorce thought favorably of calling it his
"consumption care," but abandoned that
name as too restrictive for a medicine that
from its wonderful combination of germ-destroying,
as well as tonic, or strengthening,
alterative or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious,
diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties,
. is unequaled, not only as a remedy for consumption
of the lungs, bat for all chronic
diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and
lungs. Golden Medical Discovery cures all
linraor.', from the worst scrofula to a common
blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas,
salt-rhcum, fever-sores, scaly or rough
skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease
germs in the blood, are conquered by this
powerful, purifying and invigorating medicine.
Great e:iting ulcers rapidly heal under
its benign influences. Especially has it
manifested its potency in curing tetter, rose
rash, boils, carbunclcs, sore eyes, scrofulous
sores and swellings, white swellings, goitre
or thick neck, and enlarged glands.
"The blood is the life." Thoroughly
cleanse this fountain of health by using
Golden Midical Discovery, and good digestion,
a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength and doundnesa of constitution arc
established.
For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short
breath, consumptive night-sweats and kindred
aftections, it is a sovereign remedy. In
the cure of bronchitis, severe cougha and
consumption, it has astonished Ihe medical
faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce
it the greatest medical discovsry of the age.
The nutritive properties possessed by cod
liver oil are trifling when compared with
those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It
rapidly builds up the system and increase
the flesh and weight of those reduced belo3
the usual standard of health by wasting diseases.
* t * *
The reader will pardon the foregoing digression,
prompted by our admiration for a
remedy that performs such marvelous cures,
and permit ud to say that when the admiral
returned to his home in New York the only
cloud cast upon the happinessof the reunion
with his family vaa caused by the continued
illness of his eldest son, a young man of
t.venty-four, whose disease, when the admirni
aoiinri fmm Mnntflvedio. had been re
ported as succumbing to tho treatment or"
the family doctor. But his father thought it
otherwise; the unfortunate young man was
suffering severely from chronic di?ea?o of
the kidneys and bladder. Before leaving
Boston the admiral had purchased a copy of
Dr. Pierce's book, ''The People's Common
Sense Medical Adviser." He read this valuable
book thoroughly, and upon hi3 arrival
home had made up his mind as to the future
treatment for his son. The latter was sent
to the famous Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N.
Y., conducted by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and his
comretent staff of specialists, where, under
skillful treatment, tho sufferer soon found
relief and a permanent cure.
Alleged Dangers in Canned Food.
For a number of years past it has
not been an uncommon thing to read
in the daily papers accounts more or
less circumstantial of cases of poisoning,
some fatal, some serious and some
comparatively trilling, which were
called the results of eating canned
food. The impression created by the
first of these stories was weak. The
practice of using articles of diet preserved
in tin cans had become almost
universal before any such cases were
on/l al mr?cf. pvprvhndv in
civilized communities had eaten of
such food without experiencing ill
effects it was generally doubted that
the poisoning had been correctly traced
to its source. The practice of preserving
in tin, therefore, went on, and
increased year by year.
"With the increase in the use of the
preserved food, however, there came
also an increase in the number of cases
of poisoning attributed, whether rightly
or wrongly, to that use, and from
time to time one person after another
became convinced that there was danger
in the tin cans. Xot a few physicians
(perhaps the most conservative
class of the community in some respects)
have warned their patients to

having become convinced that it was
at least the probable cause of numerous
cases of "lead poisoning."
Accurate statistics of the trade are
not obtainable, but the canning of salmon,
oysters, fruits, vegetables, meats,
poultry and game employs many million
dollars of capital and gives support
to many thousands of persons,
and the products are reckoned by the
millions of cases.?iVeir York Herald.

Where the Word Dude Came From
The just now popular word dude H
meaning an empty-headed, lanquid- H
mannered young swell who bangs his H
hair, proves to be no foreign importa- H
tion, but, like many another expressive H
term, to be of good New England par- flj
entage. The word (pronounced in
two syllables) has been used in the
little town of .Salem, X. II., for twenty
years past, and, it is claimed, was J WM
coined there. It is common there to '
speak of a dapper young man as a"dude
of a fellow." of a small animal as "a H
little dude," of a sweetheart as " my H
dude," and of an a?sthetic youth of the n
Wilde type as a dude. But how the word ffl
attained so sudden a widespread txo H
toriety puzzles Salem. Its revival at
New York is credited to a disgusted H
Englishman, who remarked, after H
visiting a rich club, that the young

advised me to try Hunt's Itenndy, because he at- M
tributed my severe *u fferiDg to the bad condition of H
my kidneys, which were not performing their proper B

entirely disappeared, the swelling in my limbs and I

since. More recently I >va? troubled with impurity fl

after taking it a short time was completely cured of B
