A Gentle Hint.
DeQnill-I have resolved to launch,
upon a literary career.
PeLush-Glad to hear it. Of course
you know at every launching it is cus
tomary to crack a bottle of wine.
Th? Faults and Follies of the Age
Are numerous, but of tho latter none ls more
ridiculous than tho promiscuous und random
use of laxative pills and othor drastic cathar
tics. These wrench, convulse amt weaker both
the stomach and the bowels. If Hoetetter's
Stomach Bitters be used Instead of these no
re medies, the result is accomplished without
pain and with great benefit to the bowels, the
stomach and the liver. Use this remedy when
constipation manifests ..?elf. and thereby pre
vent lt from becomlug chronic.

Almost Blind
Was my little girl, owing to scrofula trouble.
She was treated by physicians and sent to a
hospital without icing cured. We resorted to
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and in a week we could
see a chance. We continued giving her this
medicine, and to-day her eyes are perfectly
well; there is not a blemish on her skin, and.
she ls the picture of health." B. C. ALLEN,

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only on?
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness ls caused by an in
flamed condition of tho mucous Unlng of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect bearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness ls the result, and unless the Inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which ls nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

SMOKE YOUR MEAT WITH
.ClSCOLAR. E. KRAUSER & BRO. MILTON, PA.
THE HOLLY=
BIM winter, when il
feil at Osceola, fell
with amplitude. Il
you stood on the
upper bridge -o
high, open bridge
you saw the canal
stretching far u p
and down, a level
trench of snow, its whiteness em
phasized here and there by a
patch of brown earth showing
from some underwash in the
banks. In one corner of tho
mill pond on the morrow, if tho mor
row chanced to be a Sunday, in a pool
relieved of ice for the occasion and
hedged about by a throng of specta
tors, there would be a baptism of the
latest converts of the winter revivals.
In milder seasons tho prevailing
form of social entertainment was even
ing tea?, bnt now there was apt to be
a round of rather stately dinner
parties. The ladies came in crrefully
treasured blaok silk gowns, of the
riohest and stiftest material, with wide
collars of white lace, and luce-edged
white lawn undersleove?. The men
wore coats of blaok broadcloth, no less
carefully kept and no less excellent in
quality, and high, stiff collais,swathed
in blaok silk or satin neckerchiefs.
The dinner, cooked mainly by the
hostess's own hands,was served in two
courses, but out of its abundance
might easily have furnished forth
twelve or fifteen of the daintiness
which courses acquire when they are
made a particular point of.
The company came to table foi
these dinners with a certain hesitation
and awkwardness, and for a little
whilo afUr they were seated conver
sation lagged. First thero fell a sharp,
expectant silence until thc minister,
if present, aa he usually wa?, had in
voked a blessing. Then, as tho host
took carving knife and fork in hand
and rose from his chair with a certain
confidence, every eye and all attentior
fixed intently on him, and remained
so fixed.
It was almost doing violence to cus
tom Then, at a dinner by Mrs. Hamlir
Wampler, Mrs. Luther Gears began, ir,
the very height of the carving, to tel
a story of the loss of a spoon. She
told it in a plaintive tone *, how, aftei
a dinner given by herself ten dayi
before, to substantially the presen:
company, when she came to colleo
her silver, with a view to washing anc
putting it away with her own hand (ai
her careful custom was), she found <
spoon missing-one of her holly-sprif
spoons.
Nobody attended much, for Wamp
1er was really doing a very neat job,
At the conclusion of Mrs. Gears's reel
tal two or three ladies murmured i
perfunctory "that was too bad," one
Dr. Dudley asked in his blunt way,
"What is a holly-sprig spoon ?" Bm
ho gave no outward sign of listening
to Mrs. Gears's explanation that holh
sprig was the design, and that the los:
wai especially griovons because it oe
casioued the first break in a set givei
her at her marriage by her mother,
who had brought it at au early daj
out from New Jersey, sewn up foi
safety in her petticoat, a gift to hei
at her marriage from her own mother,
Mrs. Gears's grandmother, and to tin
latter previously at her marriage iron
her mother, Mrs. Gears's great-grand
mother, for whom it had been ex
pressly made by a London silversmith
the only set of its design ever seen OJ
heard of. At the words "grand
mother" and "great-grandmother" th?
doctor's head nodded slightly, but hit
eye, like all other eyes at the table,
even Mrs. Gears's, was on Wampler'i
knife.
"Wampler shaved away the last bil
of breast and raised his instrument foi
tho master stroke through the flank.
The guests dipped forward a little
further. The knife descended, pierced
-then stopped abruptly. Wampler'i
face grew red. Mrs. Wampler's grew
red, too, ont of sympathy.
"You must havo struck a tough tur
key, mother," said he.
"It's a young turkey," protested
Mrs. Wampler, "and it seemed vcrj
tender when I was dressing it."
"Then you didn't cook it enough,'
urged Wampler.
"I had it in the oven four hours,'
said Mrs. Wampler.
The other ladies averred that if yow
oven WM right four hours was long
enough.
By pushing and sawing like an oma
teur with a dull blade, Wampler finallj
cut through, and sought to retrievi
himself by a special dexterity on th<
other side. But again the knife, nfte;
entering keenly, came to a sudden halt
and had to be driven on by main force
Wampler finally wrenched off thi
breast bone and resumed his chair.
In tho courso of this office Wamplei
thrust a large spoon deep into th*,
mound of stuffing. Thero came a me
tallie click which everybody distinctlj
heard and again fixed eyes on the host
Then, on bringing up the spoon, he
turned up with the handle of another,
a smaller one, which everybody saw,
Since there could be no concealment,
Wampler sought escape from the mis
adventure by jocularity, and saying:
"Well, well, yon must havo run sborl
of bread crumbs for your stuffing,'
drew forth tho spoon and held it nj
in full view.
"It's my spoon," cried Mrs. Gears,
fairly shrieking, "the ODO J lost-my
holly-sprig;" and she etretched out
her hand as if to recover it, if need be,
by force.
"At any rate it's not mine," said
Mrs. Wampler.
"Oh, it's minc, it's rame ! I should
know it anywhere," persis!ed Mrs.
Goars excitedly, and Wampler handed
tLc spoon over to her.
"It must be yours," said Mrs. Wam
pler. "I remember tho design, and
it's not like any of mine. I never saw
it, unless at your house, until this
moment, ano tba turkey I dressed and
put into the oven with my own hands."
The other gnests commented a little
on the singularity of the incident, and
ventured to make a joke or two upon
it, then dropped it from tho talk and
were studious not to recr.r to it. One
and all departed, however, with it
still sufficiently lu mind, and more
than mudo themselves amends ulti
mately for any self-denial they may
have tattered regarding )t iu the pres
ence of thp't ho t and lu? tess. Very
boon the whole town ku?? the story,

Vindicating Her Idea.
The vindication of an idea is a great
hing.
One of the teachers in the public
ichool in Wells street was speaking to
mother a few days ago of the careless
?ess of pupils in certain directions and
neasures to be taken to cure them.
"Why," she said, "on one of the
sitterest days of the early part of the
r,*eek a little boy came to school from
lis home, nearly a milo away, without
in overcoat. The temperature had been
it nearly 30 degrees below zero, and
bink of that child walking all that
listance in such weather ! It was ter
?ible. I don't see how ho kept from
jerishing. Ho said he had forgotten
;o put it cn."
"Forgot to put it on!" said the

pou do about it?"
"I sent him right back home," the

And Consider thc All-important Fact, 1
That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you arc con?
fiding your private ills to a woman-a woman
whose experience in treating woman's
diseases is greater than that of any liv
ing physician-male or female. I
You can talk freely to a woman
when it is revolting to relate your
private troubles to a man-besides,
aman docs not understand-simply
because he is a man. .,
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full well that they ought to have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to thc questions
and probably examinations of even
their family physician. It is unneces
sary. Without money or price you
can consult a woman, v.-hose
-*- knowledge from actual experi
ence is greater than any local
physician in the world. The fol
lowing invitation is freely offered;
accept it in the same spirit:
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence be
tween Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken.
Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is moro
than possible that she has gained tho very knowledge that will help your
?ase. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has
relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she docs
not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.-Lydia E. Pinkham
