Eczema l
The Only Cure.
Ecronm is more than n skin disease,
and no skin remedies enn cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect a cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble is in the blood, and
Swift's iSpooific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood
diseases.

SECRET OF A STILL.
Captain Janies Peters, riding home
from a raid into the moonshine comities,
stopped at Jared’s store and usked for a
drink. A jug was taken from the shelf
and a finger’s length of clear, yellow
whisky was poured out.
“No moonshine in this sto’, you see,
captain,’’ remarked Mr. Jared.
“Ilnmph!” And the captain’s keen
eyes glanced toward the loungers in and
about the store. “Beckon if I took a
notion I could unearth somo moonshine
an spot some moonshiners not fnr off.”
“Captain, you mustn't he so suspi
cious. ”
Captain Peters only laughed. He was
very good humored, this mountain ter
ror, except when, as they would say,
his blood was up. Then it was as eufo
to meet n starving tiger.
“Seems to me’s if yon had somethin
on yonr mind,” remarked Mrs. Peters
that same evening.
“Ye-es, “ said the captain, “I’m
plagued shout them Jared hoys. I can’t
ketch ’em nohow.”
A knock at the door, nud a yonng fel
low came in and shook hands eagerly
with the captain. His name was Mad
dox. Captain Peters had picked him up
in Nashville and employed him “on
trial. ”
“I was Jest n-speakin o’ tho Jareds,”
he said. "I’m pretty sure they've got a
still eomewhar. They look me in tho
eye too powerful innocent to bo all
right. Now I’vo just got a notion in
my head, if I only had anybody I could
trust”— Maddox drew himself up alert,
watchful as a listening sentinel. “What
can’t bo done one way must bo done an
other,” said Captain Peters slowly, and
he and Maddox had a long, whispered
conference.
A few days later a peddler stopped at
Bleylock’s and asked for a drink of wa
ter. Old Mother Bleylock sent Eliza to
the spring for a fresh bucketful, and
tho peddler, after refreshing himself,
opened hie pack.
“ 'Pears's if w« oughtn't ter trouble
yon,” eho said, “ ’cause we can’t buy a
pin’s wnth.”
“Jest for the pleasure^ ma’am,” said
the gallant peddler.
The pack was opened, and three pairs
of eyes grew big with delight.
“ ’F you’ll wait till pa comes homo,
I’ll make him buy me that collar, “ said
Janey, the younger of thu Bleylock girls.
“P’raps Dick Oscar’d buy you a pres
ent ’f ho was hero,” suggested Eliza.
“If 'taiu’t makin too free, I'd like
to say 1 admire Dick Oscar’s taste,”
said the peddler with an admiring
glance.
Janey responded with, “Oh, you
hushl” and a toss of her head, and old
Mother Bleylock said, “The boys moat
generally always paid Janey a good
deal o’ attention.”
Sho possessed a hold prettiuess, this
mountain pink. Brown skinned, black
eyed, red lipped and a way of dropping
her head on her swelling neck and look
ing mutiny from under her heavy
brows. Eliza was a thin slip of a girl,
with a demure hut vacant look in her
blue eyes, and a shy, nervous manner.
“I’ll tell you tho truth, ma’am,” re
marked tho peddler to the mother, “you
could take these girls o’ yourn to Nusb-
viMo, an people in tho streets would fol
low them for their good looks. An
that’s heaven’s own troth. All yo’ fam
ily?”
“Dor no; I’ve got tbreo hoys.”
“All at homo furmin, 1 s’posef”
“Yaas.”
“Now, 'bent those goods o’ mine,”
said the peddler. “If you could put me
up for a fow days, we might make a
trade. I’m 's tired's a lame horse, an
wouldn't want nutbiu better'n to rest
right hero. ”
“I’d like nutbiu better’n to take you.
But th’ ain’t no uso sayin a word till
pa gits home. He ain’t no hand fur
strangers. ”
“ Well, I won’t be a stranger longer'n
1 can help, ” said tho agreeable peddler.
“My name’s Pond—Marcus Pond—
Nashville boy, but a rolliu stone, yoa
know. I’ve peddled books an sewing
machines an no end o’ a lot of traps
ginerally. Fond of travel, you see, but
jest’s steady ns old time. Never drink
when I travel. Promised mj mother I
wouldn’t. ”
" ’Tis a good thing, ” said Mother
Bleylock, with energy. “I do despise
to see a fnddled man. Whisky ain’t fit
fur nutbiu but to fatten hogs on.”
Father Bleylock enmo homo and be
yond a stare and a silent nod took little
notice of the peddler. He was a tall
man, thin, taciturn and yellow, «ni
With a neck so small that bis head pre
sented the appearance of being stack oa
with a pin.
He lighted bis pipe, and after a sooth
ing interval of smoking, “Peddler ’d
like to stopover a period,” said bis
wife.
Puff, puff. "Don’t see no objection.’'
Puff, puff.
Mr. Pond, as he had promised, soon
ceased to bo a strangsr. The old man
discoursed on the grievances of taxes,
and tho old woman, after the manner
of mothers, talked about bor daughters.
“My gala is eddJc^ted,” |be would
say—“been over to Cooktille months
an mouths a-schooliu. Dut lor, tbar's
some folks you can’t weed the haluesi
out'n, on Jauey's a spitfire, she is.
flwm’sif Dick Oscar wants to have her,
but he acts kinder curious about it—
blow hot, blow cold. Dnnno. Now,
Dizy is different. Can’t tell why, less'u
'tis that I wont to camp meetin an
professed awhile bofo’ she was horn.
Somehow she’s always been delicater an
quieter Jike’u any of my children."
Tho Bleylock boys, easy, rollicking
fellows, treated tho peddler very much
M U Uv had been a harmless tbpugb un
necessary cat about the house ami were
surprised when Dick Oscar, dropping
in one evening, informed them that they
wore nil n pack of fools for “takin in
a stranger so free and oasy. ”
“Why, I ain't paid no more attention
to the man 'u if he’d ’a’ been a preach
er, “sail Sa.n Bleylock. “Seams’s if
tbur ain’t no harm to him.”
“He’s a very God fearin man,” said
Eliza softly, “an a powerful reader o'
the Bible.”
“ 'F you'll take my say so, you’ll git
quit o' him," said Dick Oscar.
“He's got such beautiful taste,” said
Mother Bleylock. “It’s as good's goin
to tho city to look at his things.”
“I seo he’s a-dressin you up,” said
Oscar, with a sneer at the new ribbons
the girls wore round their necks.
Janey sprang up. Her face reddened.
In an instant she had torn off tho rib
bon and stumped her foot on it. “That’s
how much I caro for him an his rib
bons !” she cried.
“Don’t fly quite off thehaudlo,” said
Mr. Oscar coolly.
Poor Janey. She had hoped to please
her lover by her scorn of tho peddler’s
gift, but sho was coming to tho conclu
sion that ho was a hard man to pleaso.
Bho was a passionate young animal,
and sho had thrown herself into his
arms with a readiness that robbed her
self of her graces. He liked to sting and
stroke her alternately and was about as
unsatisfactory a lover as Janey could
have found on tho Cumberland. But
she liked him, saw with his eyes,
thought with his thoughts. Naturally
she turned against tho peddler, and
from this time set herself to watch him.
That harmless young man in the
meantime was doing what he could. He
wandered about tho country, selling
such little things as the people could
htiy, “pumping” tho Bleylock boys and
making love to the Bleylock girls. The
pumping process was rewarded with
about as much success as would attend
fishing for a soul through the eye of a
skeleton. In the lovemaking there was
more hope.
Janey was accessible to flattery and
encouraged him with little looks of
fire. But thero was something in her
eyes ho did not trust, and be \yas a
wary man, the peddler. Besides, she
slapped his face when he tried to kiss
her. But he soon grew to believe that
Eliza—simple, unsuspicious, serious—
would be as clay in his hands.
Chance favored Miss Janey. Sho was
bathing one warm day in the creek that
run out from tho spring when she saw
Eliza and tho peddler coming, like Jack
and Jill, to fetch a pail of water. Be
ing naked, Janey could not gut away,
but she slid along to a cool inlet over
hung with tree branches and so hidden
waited for them to do their errand. Of
course they stopped to talk.
“That pink ribbon becomes yout
black hair mightily,” said tho peddler.
Eliza blushed. “ We’re just country
girls, you know, Mr. Pond. Wo don’t
have many pretty things. Beeins as if
the boys don't have any money left after
buyin the sugar \flour, au molasses
an things,”
“Meat, I s’po.u,” said the practical
peddler.
“No; wo raise our own moat. Pa has
a powerful lot o’ hogs.”
“So!”
“But I expect you don’t take much
interest lu country life, Mr. Pond?”
“Why, my dear”—and Mr. Pond
slipped his arm around Eliza—“I’d
like the best in the world to settle down
in a country just liko this. A fellow
gits tirud trumpin around. But I’d
want two things to mako me happy.”
Eliza looked at him with happy con-
fldenco.
“First, a littlo wife that was gentle
in her ways, au a good religious girl,
an one with black hair to set off the
pink ribbius I’d buy for her, an a fleet
foot au a rod mouth.”
Hero Mr. Pond came to a full stop
with a kiss.
“An tho other thing?” with a bright
blush.
Tho peddler grew practical again.
“Well, it’s nutbiu more’n somo way to
mako a liviu. Now, say I married a
sweet girl up tho Cumberland an made
a little crop. It’s too far to git it to
market. I might turn It into whisky,
hut lately gov’meut’s turned meddler,
an is a-breakin stills right an left
through the country.”
“They do hide ’em sometimes,” said
Eliza in a half whisper, “so ’t a
bloodhound could hardly scent ’em. An
n very good business it is, an the bogs
live on tho mash.”
"Do you know o’ any such stills, my
little darlin?”
But she drew back a little. “Ef I do
know o’ any, ” sho said, “I’vo promised
not to tell o’ ’em.”
“Not to the man as is goin to be yonr
husband?"
“Not to him until he is my hus
band.” And blushing, but resolute,
Eliza filled her pail and started for the
bouse.
Under the water Janey clinched her
bands. “Dick was right,” sho thought,
“au I see his game. He’s a spy, an
Eliza’s! a fool.”
iShe knew that she had heard enough
to justify her lover in his suspicious,
enough to put them all on their guard.
A passionate exultation fired her blood
as she thought of the service she should
render Dick Oscar, his praise, tho re
ward of his rude kisses.
But, alas for Janey 1 Something had
milled her sweetheart’s temper when
they next met. Before she could ap
proach the subject of which sho was
full stinging words had passed between
them.
“Dick," said Janey hoarsely, “d’you
mean that you’re goin book from your
word; that yon ain’t a-goin to marry
mo?"
“Merry h—I!” said Mr. Oscar, and
be walked off.
“I want to epoak to yon, ” said Janey
that night to the peddler. “Can yoa
git up in the moruin bofo’ the folks is
stirriu?”
“Of coarse I can, when it’s to meet
a gal liko yoa.”
Privately he wondered at her pallor
and lurid eyes.
Morning came. As the stars were
drowsily getting out of the sun’s way,
Janey and the peddler met by the
spring.
“You needn’t lie to me, "said she
harshly. ”I’ve found you out. You're
up tho Cumberland spyin for wildcat
stills. I’ll take you to one.”
“But, my dear, is this a trap? I’m
nothin but a poor, harmless peddler.”
“Come, then, my harmless peddler,”
said the girl, with a sneer, “au I’ll
ehow you somethin to make your mouth
water.”
She struck through tiio woods, nud
be followed, alternately blowing and
wondering at his luck. What thread led
her he knew not. Fallen logs lay in tho
way, thickets opposed, douse foliage hid
all signs of paths, but on she wont,
above, around, amid, athwart obstacles
of every kind. And finally, girdled and
guarded by frees and rocks, was the
hidden still, where the oorn was chang
ed into the flowing moonshine that
maketli glad the heart of man.
Tho peddler could hardly keep back
a shout. Ho had won his spurs. It was
a much larger concern than he had ex
pected. Homo hogs were rooting about
the sodden earth. Tho monotonous drip
ping of water mingled with tho grunts
of these poetic animals.
Juuey loaned against a rock breathing
heavily. The peddler thought bo would
about as soon touch n wildcat as speak
to her. Nevertheless he did.
“B’long t’ your folks:” ho said.
” ’T b’lougs to Dick Oscar, an you
know it,’’ said tho girl fiercely. “Now
I’m goin back home..’’
“ Yo’ don’t know of any more such, ”
said the insatiate peddler, “lyiu round
loose up here?’’
“I’ve done enough. An look hero.
Keep your tongue between your teeth.
Tell that I fetched you hero, an you
won’t see many more sun ups with them
spyin eyes.”
Mr. Pond was a tolerable woodsman,
and ho led Captain Peters and his scouts
to tho mountain still without trouble.
They were all there—the Bleylock boys,
the father and young Oscar. They were
hard at work and, surprised, were
handcuffed without the firing of a gun.
Who so crestfallen as the toiling,
moiling, moonshiners? Who so jubilant
as the long whiskered captain? He
would have sung a paean had he known
how. As it was, he chewed a great deal
of tobacco and nubuttoned his flannel
shirt for expansion.
The prisoners were halted at the Bley
lock cabin for baggage and goodbys.
They were to go to the penitentiary.
Mrs. Bleylock and Eliza wept and
moaned their fate; but Janey was still,
her brown lids veiling the dull fire of
her eyes.
“Janey, myglrl, ” said Oscar, draw
ing her apart, “I spoke up rough to you
t’other day. But don’t you mind it.
’Twarn’t nutbiu but jealousy.”
Her eyes softened. Mountain pinks,
as well as some fine ladies, consider
jealousy ns tribute to their charms.
“Perhaps I’ll never come hack,” said
he.
Sho seized him by tho arm.
“Dick, what can they do to you?”
"Duuuo. Most likely I’ll kill some
body tryiu to git away an be strung."
Janey burst into tears.
“Shouldn’t wonder if you married
one o’ tho Jareds,’’he said, piling oa
the gloom.
“Dick Oscar, I promised to marry
you, an I don’t go back from my word. ”
“No, an I don’t, ” cried Dick. “There
ain’t as pretty a ahupod girl as yoa ou
the CambevlMd. an If ever I do git
back’’—
He whispered the rest in Jaliey’s ear,
and sho clung to him, blushing a deep,
deep rose.
“ ’y jest one thing I want to know,”
said old Bleylock as they tramped to
Nashville. "How’d you find us?”
Tho captain laughed.
“Been entertainiu a peddler, haven’t
you? Which one o’ your gals ’d be
mako up to?”
Father and brothers swore. Dick Os
car nodded to his discernment with ha-
man triumph.
A few days later a young girl walked
into Nashville who hud never been in a
city before. She asked but one question
—tho way to the governor’s house.
That accessible mansion was readily
found; doors were swung open, and, an
nounced by a sleepy durky, Janey
Bleylock stood in tho governor’s pres
ence.
With a fine and courteous manner
that gentleman listened, struck by her
figure, her fall voice and passionate
eyes. Ho promised to use his influence
with the president to procure a pardon
for Dick Oscar and the Bleylocks, and
Janey was allowed to go to the prison
with tho cheering news.
The mountain girl was beard of in
high circles. Hearts beat warmly in
lovely southern bosoms, and they made
a heroine of Janey.
“Why don’t you marry here?” said a
beautiful enthusiast, who had called to
seo Janey, and kissed her because she
knew so well how to love. “Marry here
and I’ll give you a wedding dress. ”
“So wo will,” said Dick Oscar, when
be was out of prison.
And Janey wont home a wife, as if
the stars had been diamonds and strung
like a larkspur chain for her neck—fa
ther, brothers, husband, sheltering her
in their love.
Mrs. Bleylock and Eliza ran to meet
them. Eliza thought perhaps some one
else would come with thorn. Had not
her lover left her with a kiss and a
promise to come back?
The pink ribbon was round her nock.
Her lips were parted in a buppy, vacant
smile.
Tho old father was in advance. He
thrust out his arm us Eliza drew near.
“Don’t you speak to me!"
“Bappff*’
“D—n your tnttlin touguel Keep
away from my bands!’’
The smllu bad gouo. The vacant look
spread over the face that turned help
lessly to her brothers.
“You ought to bo whipped like a
nigger,” said Sam Bleylock. “What ’d
you tell that peddler ’bout Oscar’s still
for? Might ’a’ known be was foolin
you.”
“I didn't toll where the still was.”
“Hob, you lie too.” And her father,
passing by, struck her with the bauk of
bis baud.
“Shame on you, pappy!” and Janey
ran to her sister, over whose lips tho
blood was pooriug.
Her husband drew Janey away.
“Don’t touch her,” ho said, with a
look of disgust. “She ain’t fit. ”
A wild, terrified look swept over
Janey’s face. Should she grasp at the
wind blowing in the troetopsabove her?
fibe caught Disk Oscar’s arm, bolding
it fiercely. Here was something'to clasp,
to cling to. Hor soal shriveled ib her
ardent body.
Afterward Eliza Bleylock seemed to
wither away. Sho repeated her denial
of having been a traitor, but no one
ever believed hor. Him worked hard,
and was used roughly. She had never
boon strong. Sometimes siin utolo away
and nursed Junoy's baby, who seemed
to love her. B;H never when Dick Os
car was at homo.
Ono day, sitting by tho spring alone,
too weak since u long timo to work, she
leaned her bead against a tree and with
one moan, too faint to startle tho sing
ing birds, sho died.
Hor mother and Janey dressed her
cleanly and tied around her neck a pink
ribbon that they found in her Bible.
And sho was buried, with very little
said about it, in the valley.—Sherwood
Bonner in Argonaut.
A F'ortnnnto Reply.
The Duke of Osemm, who during hil
long career as viceroy of Naples was
distinguished as much for his sound
good sense in small mutters as in those
larger questions of statesmanship which
mado him ono of tho foremost mou of
Europe, ouco paid a visit to tho Cape
galley at Barcelona. A* bo passed in
and out among tho crow of slaves he
questioned several of them regarding
their offenses for which they wera so
laboriously paying tho penalties. Each
had plenty of excuses. One said ho had
been sent there from spite; another as
serted that tho Judge who sentenced
him had been bribed; still another de
clared that his being thero was uD a
mistake.
At last the duko cametoa stout littlo
black fellow of whom ho asked:
“And what aro you hero for, my
man?’’
“My lord, ” replied tho slave, “I can
not deny that I am justly put in hero,
fo" I wanted money, and so took a
purso near Tarragona to keep me from
starving."
Upon hearing this tho duko gavo him
two or three blows across the shoulders
with his stick, saying as ho did so:
“You rogue, what are you doing
among so many honest, innocent moul
Get you out of their company.”
Tho thief, who was so surprised that
ho scarcely comprehended what was go

tho re*t were left to labor at the oar.—

Dull boya often become clever and
successful men, but this is simply on
account of tho fact that dull boys are
only slow hoys, and it takes more time
for thoir brains to grow than thu others.
It is steady work, ceaseless endeavor,
that tells. Then, again, wo forget that
a bright boy may be handicapped by
other qualities. Ha may not havo the
physical strength or energy of the other,
while the dull boy is carried forward
by never failing energy and strength,
for it is often his dullness at school
which makes tho dull boy’s subsequent
success so conspicuous.
How many dull boys have become
still duller men I Liko tho old reproach
about ministers’ sous, one bright boy
that turns out ill is mado to stand fot
tho whole class, and one dull boy that
turns out well glorifies his whole class.
Notwithstanding all our inventions, all
our progress, the old Kcripturo doctriue
still holds good—that men reap what

that bright boys generally do torn out

self On one occasion n man who was
introduced to him exclaimed. ‘WhatI
John Holmes) The brother of Oliver
Wendell Holmes? ’No, sir,’ retorted
John Holmes, with characteristic hu
mor; ’ho is the brother of me.' His
verses and short sketches havo been
handed round in manuscript, and it Is
possible that a collection may be mado
of them Like his brother, John Holmes
was of something less than average
height. He was. however, of heavier
build and had a remarkably thick head
of snow white, bushy hair. Years ago
John Holmos belonged to a famous
whist club, tho other members of which
were James Russell Lowell, his brother-
in-law, Dr. Estes Howe, and John Bart
lett of ‘Familiar Quotations' fame.
John Holmes was the last link connect
