Cause of
Rheumatism
An acid which exista in sour milk and cider, called
lactic acid, is believed by physicians to be the cause
of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it at
tacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes
agonising pains. What is needed is a remedy to
neutralize the add, and to ao invigorate the kidneys
and liver that all waste will be carried eft. We can
honestly recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla for these
purposes. It has cured others of rheumatism and it
will cure you.

A NATURAL INQUIRY.
A certain witty bishop found himself
i few months ago crossing tho Bay of
‘'undy from Digby to St. John in cora-
>any with a certain Mr. Caswell. The
Say of Fundy has a reputation for tur-
lulence only to be matched by the Eng-
ish Channel or the Bay of Biscay. Mr.
Saswell was struggling with a violent
ittack of seasickness, but the bishop
who was above such wca! a ss, was very
iheerful aud inclined to conversation,
do had (ailed, however, to catch Mr.
"aewell’s name correctly and persisted in
filing him “Mr. As well.” At last the
luffercr, in a moment of ease, corrected
lim, saying;
“Caswell, my lord; my name is Cas
well, not Aswell."
“Oh!” said the bishop, eying him
uitically, ns a new spasm seized upon
lis unhappy acquaintance. “Well, Mr.
Caswell, don't you think you would bo
Lswell without the soa?”—Chicayo Nous.
A Peculiarity of Russian Customs.
Our St. Petersburg correspondent,says
the London Newt, sends us a curious
story of the opAatiou of the customs
laws iu Russia. It appears that the
Britist*. and American Congregational
Church, to celebrate the jubilee of its
foundation, resolved on getting a new
organ, and at the expense of $2500 ob
tained from London an instrument which
duly arrived at Oronstadt. But here the
difficulties began. There were forty
cases and these happened to come in two
ships, thirty-two in one and eight in an
other. Church organs are practically
unknown in Russia, where church mu
sic is entirely vocal. The only instru
ment known corresponding to the organ
is one which is found in every trakteer
or tea house and is of the nature of a
musical box with a few pipes.
The custom house officials claimed
the duty on six organs, saying there were
pipes enough for so many. After long
negotiations the organ was allowed to
passthrough under protest aud is now
being erected under the supervision of
the custom house authorities. Two of
ficials, with swords, are on duty at the
door and watch every one going out to
see that he does not take an organ away
with him. During Divine service the
guards take an occasional peep to see
that everything is above board.
P. T. Barnnm’s Childhood Philosophy.
If you would be as happy as a child,
please one.
Childish wonder is the first step in hu
man wisdom.
To best ploaso a child is the highest
triumph of philosophy.
To stimulate wholesome curiosity in tho
rair.d of the child is to plant golden
seed.
I would rather be called the children’s
friend than the world’s king.
Amusement to children is like rain to
flowers.
Ho that makes knowledge most attrac
tive to the young is tho king of sages.
Childish laughter is the coho of heav
enly music.
The noblest art is that of making
others happy.
Wholesome recreation conquora evil
thoughts.
Innocent amusement transforms tea
into rainbows.
RELIGIOUS READING.
If you have a kind word, say it;
Throbbing hearts soon sink to rest.
Ifyou owe a kindness, nay It!
Life's sub hurries lo Ine west.
(.’in you do a kind deed? Dolt,
From despair s soul to save;
Bless each day as you pass through it,
Marching onward to the grave.
If some grand thing for tomorrow
Yon are dreaming, do it now;
For the future do not borrow;
Frost soon gsthers on the brow.
Speak thy word, perform thy duty;
Night is coming deep with rest;
Stars will gleam in fadeless beauty,
Grasses whisper o'er thy breast.
Pays for deeds are few, my brother;
Then today fulfll thy vow.
If you mean to help another,
Do not dream it—do it now.
boil's PROMISKSt
They are sure. God is not a man that he
should lie; nor the son of man that he should
repent; hath he said and shall he not do it?
or hath he spokeu and shall he not make it
good?
A mother's babe was dead. For strength
»nd comfort she fell back upon the promises
ol God. And when asked by her pastor if
she found support from them she replied,
“What are the promises for, if not for such
s season as this?'’
A poor boy when asked what he did when
in sore trouble, answered, "1 fall flat on tha
promises.”
ARB YOU IN EARNZST?
When at first you felt the load of your sini
pressing heavily upon you and saw'yourself
in a ruinous condition, without the pardon
ing mercy of God through Christ, and finally
yielded to be saved by grace and gave your
heart to God, were you then in earnest?
Did you then count the cost of living a life
of self-denial, of faith and prayer, and of
suffering hardships, bear crosses, and endure
all the ridicule and contempt of friends,—to
say nothing of the world? Were all these
taken into the accounl? Or did you only
look upon the sunny side of a religious life?
If you were then in earnest about your soul'e
salvation, why has the world, so often
since, found a paramount place in your af
fections? And why has Satan found it to
be such an easy matter to overcome you?
But to come to the more important ques
tion: Are you now in esrnest about the
salvation of your soul? Is your secret closet
s place of dally delight, where you and your
God arc enjoying holy intercourse with each
other? Is your faith on the allert for higher
attainments in the Christian life? Is It the
earnest desire of your soul that through
faith and prayer you may become more and
more conformed to the holy will ami blessed
image of God? Do you search the Scrip
tures dally and make' them the man of your
counsel? Is your voice regularly heard at
the prayer-meeting? Is it a pleasure for
you to support the cause of Christ by giving
of your worldly possessions for charitable
purposes without begrudging the gift? Now
to those that can answer these plain ques
tions in the sffirmative 1 would say, Let
your motto he onward.
Or is the reverse true of you? Is your
secret closet a place you seldom visit,"and
then more to quiet an accusing conscience
than for the real enjoyment you find there?
While in your secret chamber do you hurry
over a few formal words and th’en hasten
from the "boly ground" out Into the ceres
and business affairs of life? Do higher at
tainments appear at so great a distance, their
value so uncertain, and the few that attain
to them so singular, that vou think it wisdom
to be content with as little religion as most
professors enjoy? If your conscience re
sponds yes to these pointed questions, then
you rosy know that your joy and delight are
centred In some created object, ana not in
your Creator. Neither are you anxious to
lisve your will conformed to the will of God,
because you have alreadv sot up your will In
opposition to His. The Bible, if read by you,
is not your counsellor and guide. And "you
find many excuses for non-attendance upon
the public means of grace.
IV Hhout particularizing further, If I have
described your case, let me say beware! You
yourself, end your fellowmen also know
that you are not in earnest. Saints and
angels look down from above and witness
your Indifference and your insincerity. 8a-
ian also is looking on ami triumpliantlv an
ticipating the probable ruin of your soul.
If you value your soul and think heaven
to be worth obtaining, I Deseech you bestir
yourself snd for once be in earnest to secure
for yourself an “inheiltance among them
Itaat are sanctified.” Be in earnest; do all
tbst you can while it is day, for the night
cemetb when no man can work.—[Congre
gational Messenger.
IN THE SUNSHINE.
In a recent notice of the death of a colored
man who had lived a good life, It is said of
him. ,- He was a cheerful man; a Christian
who loved the bright side, who walked in
the light and loved the sunshine." The
tiright side of life is the Christian side. The
good father wants his children to “walk in
the light ss he Is in the light." A man may
be very devout,but if he shuts himself up Ins
cell bis devotion may become superstition
It would be better for him to go shout doing
good. In the economy of grace there is no
place for selfishness. 1 have been reading
about an army officer who was killed in bat
tle many years ago, leaving a wife and sever
al children. Shortly after bis death a fear
ful scourge carried off all his children. The
widow was left desolate and alone, but she
said, "I must not stay indoors and weep, I
will go into the sunshine.” By going into
the sunshine and mingling with friends and
neighbors, she carried brightness into other
hearts and homes.
Bright homes make happy families. A
father who is always stem and gloomy can
not have a happy home, howsoever regular
be may be in (ns family devotions, it has
been well said that “wnerein our devotion
is higher than our living, it counts for noth
ing." There is a German proverb which
says, “keep your eyes fixed on the stars, but
do not forget to llgnt the household candles
by the way.” Joyful Christians ought to let
their fellowmen be partakers of their joy.
Jerry MeAuley. who bad found Jesus a
great Saviour, told his story “that othera
might be led to adore and seek the blessed
Friend who bad saved and k< pt him by bis
grief."
Occasional experience meetings In the
churches, If properly conducted, might do
much good. Tne ti
friend _
be greatly comforted by the knowledge of
the way In which you found peace In a time
of sorrow like unto his own. The wise man
said: “Heaviness In the heart of a man
maketh It stoop, but a good word makrth it
clad." In the epitaph of a distinguished
bishop it is said of him : “He won all hearts
by opening to them his own.”
The love shed abroad in his own heart
shone forth in his work and words, and won
souls to Christ. “Wisdom’s ways are ways
of pleasantness.” Light snd gladness are
linked together In the Scriptures. “Light Is
sown for the righteous and gladness for tbs
upright in heart.” A good lady said to an
infidel: “The Christian religion has saved
my husband from a drunkard’s grave and
made me a happy woman. What has your
belief done for you
The light which fills the soul of the believer
with gladness here Is a foretaste of the ful
ness ef joy which will be his in the presence
of Ged forever. A physician who was dving
looksd up just as the dawn was breaking
into bts room, and exclaimed, “There is a
great light. I feel so strange. A great
glare of light. What is it?” A friend snd
brother physician, who was at his bedside,
replied, “It Is peace of God!”
When Christ’s glory shall be revealed. It
will be the blessed privilege of believers te
be partakers thereof, and to “be glad alsc
with exceeding joy.”—[N. Y. Observer.

Rabbit Wool.
To look at the rabbit as a wool-bearing
animal and source of annual profit is a
point of view that will certainly be novel
to most people, but a student of the sub
ject declares that the rabbit is valuable
when thus regarded. He yields a wool,
it is said, softer aud finer than that of
sheep, and, besides its beauty, it is be
lieved to have the valuable attribute of
benefiting or curing rheumatism. Smell

estimated that the amount of wool pro

TEMPERANCE.
VH1C PLANTING OF THE VINE.
The flood was over; rich to soil,
That promised recompense the toil, ‘
The legend" of the Talmud say,
That Noah, digging hard one day, N
Was asked by Satan what he sought,
As with perspiring face he wrought.
"I plant the grape,” the patriarch said.
As from his toil ne raised his head.
Said Satan, “I a favor ask.
Let os together share this task.*
'rite tired man could not say nay.
And so the devil had his way.
A bleating Iamb he caught and killed
And on the vine its blood he spilled.
“Henoeforth.” said Satan, “lamblike ha,
O vine, whoiasteth fruit of thee."
A lion’s blood then wet the vine
That it might bring forth royal wine.
“Bold as a Hon shall ho be
Who sippeth sparingly of theO,
O vine, whose clustering cups shall holtj
Juice worthy to be drunk from gold.”
A pig that rooted on the plain,
Was next by 8atan caught and slain.
Upon the vine its blood was shed.
And as it flowed hell's monarch saidt
“Who drinketh to excess of thee,
O wine, a very swine shall be.”
Through all the ages since that time,
In every nation, every clime,
Wherever wine doth fill the cup,
Man gives his better nature up.
The lamb, with trembling, timid feet
Before the lion doth retreat.
The lion to a swine doth turn
When wine in man’s proud veins doth burn.
Who drinketh once will drink again,
For Satan tempteth not in vam.
Who drinketh wine his soul to bless,
Full often drinketh to excess.
His soul he bindeth witli a chain
That few indeed can rend iu twain.

AN OLD HAN’S REASONS.
There is an old man living in the Stato of
Maine who is said to be nearly ono hundred
and thirty years old. Just think of it i How
many changes ho must have soon during his
longlife! How differout things must be from
what they were when ho was young. He has
had good health all his life and enjoys it
now. He must have had simple, healthful
habits, and what is a very telling fact, has
never used strong drink. Some one asked
him what he supposed was the reason for his
living so long, and he replied: “I believe it
is because I have always worn woollen clothes
both in summer and winter, and havo left
oil intoxicating liquors alone.” Bomebody
told him that alcohol was needed sometimes
for medicine, but ho shook his head, and re
plied, that “wormwood was much better,
and was always safe."— Youth's Temperance

A DIABOLICAL TEMPTATION.
The following incident, is full of lessons for
reformed men. It comes direct from a leader
in Gospel temperance work:
A good-hearted man who was under the
power of drink, reformed and remained
steadfast for niue years, amassing fifty thou
sand dollars in money, becoming n director in
an important temperance institution, and
being instrumental iu saving one hundred
and sixty-three men who had fallen. At the
end of the nine years he felt altogether safe,
became proud of bis success, did not like to
have any ono know he was a reformed man,
and ceased to attend and work in the tem
perance meetings. A saloon-keeper got hold
of him aud offered to wager ten dollars that
this reformed man of nine years’ standing
could not walk around tho block with a tea
spoonful of whisk; iu his mouth. In the
weakness of his pride, the poor fellow ac-
•, swail
ceptixl the wager," swallowed "the whisky, his
appetite was fiercely aroused, he began to
drink, and six years after this diabolical
temptation bo died a drunkard. “Let him
that standeth take heed lest he fall,” and let
him remember that to work in Christ's name
for others is tho surest way of being saved

A THttlTitlNQ EXPERIENCE-
Remarkable Statement of Personal Dan
ger mtft Providential Escape.
The following story—which is attracting
Wide intention from the press—is so remark
able that we cannot excuse ourselves if we
do not lay it before onr reader?, entire.
To the Editor Rochester (,V. F.) Democrat:
Sin—On the first day of June, 188!, 1 lay
at my residence In th's city surrounded by
my friends and waiting for lioatb Heaven
only knows the agony I then endured, for
words can never describe it. And yet, if a
few years previous any ono had told me that
I was to I* brought so low, aud bv so ter
rible a disease. I sbmiM have scoffed at the
idea. 1 had always been Unconlntouly strong
and healthy, and weighed over 2(10 pound*
and hardly know, in my own experience,
what pain or sickness were. Very many
people who will read (his statement" realize
at times that thev are unusually tired and.
cannot account for it. They feel dull pain*
in various parts of thS body and do not
understand why. Or they are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely without appetite
the next. This was just the nay I felt when
the relentless malady which had fastened it
self upon me first began. Htill 1 thought
nothing of it, that probably I bad taken a
cold which would toon pass away. Shortly
next, I paid little attention to it. Then my
stomach would get out of order and iny
food often failed to digest, causing at times
great inconvenience. Yet, even as a phy
sician, I did not think that these things
meant anything serious. I fancied I was
suffering from malaria and doctored myself
accordingly. But I got no better I next
noticed n peculiar color and odor about tho
fluids I was passing—also that there were
large quantities one day and very little the
next, and that a persistent froth and scum
appeared on tho surface, and a sediment
settled. And yet I did not realize my
danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms
continually, I finally became accustomed to
them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed
by the fact that I had no pain in the
affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I
should have been so blind I cannot under
stand
I consulted the best medical skill in the
laud. I visited all the famed mineral springs
in America and traveled from Maine to
California. Still I grew worse. No two
physicians agreed ns to my malady. One
said I was troubled witli spinal irritatiou;
another, dyspepsia: another, heart disease;
another, general debility; another, conges
tion of the liase of the brain; and so on
through a long list of common diseases, the
symptoms ot many of which I really had.
In this way several years passed, during
which time I was steadily growing worse.
loped mm terrible and con
stant disorders. My weight had been re
duced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was
a burden to myself and friends. I eould
retain no food on my stomach, and I lived
wholly by injections. I was a living mass
of pain. My pulse wns uncontrolable. In
my agony 1 frequently fell to the floor and
clutched the carpet, and prayed for death.
Morpiiine had little or no effect in deadening
the pain. For six days and nights I had the
death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly.
My water was filled with tube-casts and
albumen. I was struggling with Bright's
disease of the kidneys in its last stages I
While suffering thus I received a call from
my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, at that time
rector of Bt. Paul’s Episcopal Church, of this
city. I felt that it was our last interview,
but in the course of conversation Dr. Foote
detailed to me the many remarkable cures of
cases like my own which had come under his
observation. As a practicing physician and
a graduate of the schools, I derided the idea
of any medicine outside the regular channels
being in the least beneficial. Bo solicltlous,
however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally prom
ised I would waive my prejudice. I began
its use on the first day of June, 1881, and
took it according to directions At first, it
sickened me; hut this I thought was a good
sign for me in my debilitated condition. I
continued to take it; the sickening sensation
departed and I was finally able to retain food
upon my stomach. In h few days I noticed
a decided change for the better, as also did
my wife and friend?. My hiccoughs ceased
and I experience! less pain than formerly. 1
was so rejoiced at this improved condition
that, upon what l had believed but a few
days before was my dying bed, I vowed in
the presence of my family and friends,
should I recover, I would both publicly anil
privately make know this remedy for the
good of bumnnity, wherever and whenever I
had an opportunity, and this letter is in ful
fillment of that vow. My improvement was
constant from that time, and in less than
three months I had gaiued twenty-six pounds
in flesh, became entirely free from paiu and
I believe I owe my life and present condition
wholly to Warner’s Safe Cure, the remedy
which I use,'.
Binee my recovery I havo thoroughly re
investigated the subject of kidney difficulties
and Bright’s disease, and the truths devel-
oned are astounding. I therefore state, de
liberately, and as a physic! in, that I believe
more than onc.-hatf the deaths which occur
tn America are caused by Bright's disease
of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash
statement, hut I am prepared to fully verify
it. Bright's disease has no distinctive feat
ures of its own (indeed, it often develop*
withoutany pain whatever in the kidneys or
their vicinity), but lias the symptoms of
nearly every other common complaint.
Hundreds of people die daily, whose burial*
are authorized by a physician’s certificate as
occurring from “Heart Disease,” “Apo
plexy,” “Paralysis,” Spinal Complaint,”
‘‘Rheumatism,” "Pneumonia,” and other
common complaints, when in reality it is
r rom Bright disease of the kidneys. Few
physicians, and fewer people, realize the ex
tent of this disease or its dangerous and in
sidious nature. It steals into the system like
a thief, manifests its presence if at all by the
commonest symptoms and fastens itself in
the constitution before the victim is aware
of it. It is nearly as hereditary as consump
tion, quite as common and fully ns fatal.
Entire families, inheriting it from their an
cestors, have died, and yet none of the num
ber knew or realized the mysterious power
which was removing them. Instead of com
mon symptoms it often shows none what
ever, but brings death suddenly, from con
vulsions, apoplexy or heart disease. As one
who lias suffered, and knows by its bitter ex-
Ijerienee what he says, 1 implore everyone
who reads these words not to neglect tho
slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty. No
one can afford to hazard such chauces.
I make the foregoing statements based
upon facts winch I can substantiate to the
letter. The welfare of those who may )k>b-
sibly lie sufferers such as I was, is an ample
inducement for me to take tho step I have,
ami if I can successfully warn others from
the dangerous path in which I once walked,
I am willing to endure all profezsional and
personal consequences

Beds in Different Countries.
In the tropics men sleep in hammocks
or upon mats of grass. The East Indian
unrolls his light, portable eharpoy or
mattress, which in the morning is again
rolled together and carried away by him.
The Japanese lie upon matting with s
stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck-rest.
The Chinese use low bedsteads, often
elaborately carved, and supporting only
mats or coverlids.
A peculiarity of tho German bed is its
shortness; bedsides that, it frequently
consists in part of a large down pillow
or upper mattress, which spreads over
tho person, and usually answers the pur
pose of all tbe other bedetothing com
bined.
In England tho old four-posted bed
stead is still tho pride of the nation, but
tbe iron or brass bedstead is fast be
coming universal. The English beds
are the the largest beds in tho world.
The ancient Greeks or Romans had
their beds supported on frames, but not

No one doubts that Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn’t a mere newspaper guar
antee, but “ on call ” in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can’t
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
Dr. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety-nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the World’s
Dispensary Medical Associa
tion can afford to take the
risk of voiir being the one
hundredth.
The only question is—are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist 5° ceQ ts
and the trial begins.
if you’re wanting the $500
you'll get something better—•
