X MIXED MESS.
BY ELLA WHEELKIt.
It all happened throu.Tli a boy's blun
der, and because of It four people were
wretched for a MX-month, and came
very near ruuking fools of themselves for
life. It takes so little to make a fool of
a young person in love, you know.
Junauschek was playing in matinee
nt the Academy of ifusic, Milwaukee.
Fhe was just finishing her comedy of
"Come Here" when my heroine who
put in the upper row of the parquette
circle, not far from the door, and whom
I shall call Jessica Gray, because it is
not her name turned a pair of liquid
eyes toward the door fur the fortieth
time, and gave a little start. Not that
she was very much surprised to see Jack
Wilson (which is not his name either,
mind you) standing just inside the door
looking over the audience searchingly
with his big eyes for she had expected
he would come, and had been watching
for him. And there he was, looking for
her. But just the moment their eyes met
they both looked in the most iudiflerent
manner imaginable, and tried to make it
seem accidental that they had seen each
other at all.
The fact was, Jessica and Jack had
been lovers not engaged, yod know, but
drifting to that point when they quar
reled. The quarrel was a foolish one, as
such quarrels usually are yet lovers'
quarrels have made whole lives misera
ble. Jack called one day and asked Jessica
to attend the theater with him that
evening, and Jessica, who had been go
ing to parties and rides and plays all the
week, said: "Oh, Jack, I would like
to go, but really I must stay at
home to-nieht and finish some work
1 began ages ago! If I don't stay
at home once in a while I'll never
accomplish anything. So excuse me this
once, and I'll go some other time gladly;
be.-ities, I have a cold, and ought not to go
out." She smiled very sweetly, and Jack
excused her, and went his way not at all
unhappy over Jessica's refusal. But a
few hours later, when he saw Hob Bris
bow driving his bay nag up Spring street
at a break-neck pace, with Jessica at his
side, he felt like breaking a few com
mandments and both their necks. " Work
to do; a cold, indeed!" he repeated.
" Very fine excuses for the miserable
little llirt to palm oil on me." And he
never went near her for two weeks. Then
one day he called, but by this time Jes
sica was so angry she would not see him,
and said 44 Xot at home" to the servant
in a voice loud enough for him to hear,
and, lest he had not heard, sat by the
window where he could see her when he
shut the gate. 44 If he c hooses to suspect
me of meanness an 1 deceit, and never
comes near me for two week, he can wait
for his explanation till I choose to make
it," thought our indignant lady.
The fact was, Carrie isomers, a dear
friend of Jessica's, had received a tele
gram calling her to Chicago to the bed
side of a sister ; and she sent Hob Bris
bow, who boarded there, and who had
just come home to tea, to bring Jessica
to assist her in getting ready and say
good by; and that was how she came to
be riding with him. But Bob was good
looking and a favorite with the fair ones,
tind Jack saw a good opening for jeal
ousy. Well, a week, ten days, rolled by, and
those two absurd creatures met on the
s-treet and bowed coolly and went their
separate ways as wretc hed as need be,
w hen one word would have set all right.
Jessica bore it as long as she could, and
then she sensibly made up her mind to
explain all to Jack, and at least clear
herself in his eyes. So after a moment's
hesitation she saw Jack enter the Acad
emy that afternoon she took her pro
gramme, and, with a lead pencil from
her porte-monnaie, heavily marked the
heading of the comedy rendering the
two words 44 Come Here" particularly
noticeable. Then she motioned an usher,
-a boy of fourteen or thereabouts, who
stood near, and, handing him the pro
gramme, said: " Please give this to that
medium-sized, rather tall, gentleman
with the light hat and dark mustache
who is standing by the door. Say Miss
Cray sent it." Xow what should a ma
lignant late do, while she was whisper
ing this message to the usher, but cause
Jack Wilson to go over to the nearest
seat and speak to a prentleman friend;
and to put it into Bob Brisbow's head to
enter and stand exactly where Jack had
stood. And he had a dark mustache and
wore a light hat, and was medium sized.
So the boy delivered Jessica's message
to him. And just then Jack came back
to his station by the door and saw
him read a slip of paper and then
walk directly over to Miss Gray's
side and take the vacant seat near
her. 44 Done for my benefit to snub
me." thought Jac k, bittcr'y, and walked
out. Jessica looked around in surprise
when Bob sat down by her and saw
Jack just vanishing the door, and the
u-her had disappeared. Nothing to
do but make the best of it. So she asked
after her friend Carrie, who had not yet
returned, and did not explain the mis
take to Mr. Brisbow, who sat till the
play finished, and then walked home
with her, as he could not well do other
wise. Three young ladies passed out
near them, and Bob bowed low to them.
Two were friends of Jessica's, the other,
a very stylish girl, was a stranger. She had
bowed very haughtily. Jessica thought, to
Bob. 44 Who was she?" she queried, and
Bob answered: "A Miss Smith, of Chi
cago, visiting here at the Jones'." Now,
the truth was Bob was in love with Miss
Dora Smith, and she knew it, and en
couraged him. That evening he was in
tending to call, but an old friend dropped
in and detained him until it w as too late.
What was his surprise the next evening,
on calling, to find Miss Dora had re
turned to Chicago that afternoon. 44 We
tried to keep her till to-morrow, as she
first had intended, but she would go to
day," her friends said. 44 Desired to
have her farewell and good wishes given
you."
44 Cool enough!" thought Bob; 44 nice
w ay to drop a fellow," never dreaming
Miss Dora had taken offense at his 44 play
ing the devoted" to Miss Jessica Gray,
m she chose to term it, right before her
eyes, and walking home with her; and
not knowing how her friends remarked
as they went down the street, that 44 Mr.
Brisbow had been quite attentive to Miss
Gray of late wondered if there was any
thing in it?" which observation did not
soothe her troubled feelings. Jack left
Milwaukee that night for St. Paul, where
a brother resided. Jessica heard of it
and felt desperate. Bob Brisbow, chafing
with the treatment he had received from
the fair lora, threw himself intd eicite-
nient, and rushed into all sorts ?f gayety
for forgetful ness. He must devote him
self to frttnebody; why not to Jessica?
Jessica was quite willing to do anything
vmieii wouiu Keen ner ircm lumKing, ho
she flirted horrib'y wiih Bob. Jack came
back ir ft V.eek, and the first thing he
saw w as Bob and Jessica riding on Spring
street. That clay he threw up his situa
tion in Milwaukee, and the next. Went t-J
St. Paul to remain. Miss Smith heard
how Bob was Miss Gray'9 iiiost devoted
slave her attendant everywhere, and
she weot East with a party of friends
to spend the season, and never sent Bob
a good-by, even.
A delightful state of affairs, wasn't it,
take it all around? One would have Said
nothing less than a miracle could ever
bring matters straight for ihese four
lunatics. There was Jack off in St. Paul
hating everybody. Miss Smith in Xcw
York, whore a match-making friend was
trying to marry her to an old moneyed
widower, and Bob and Jessica making
love to each other in Milwaukee out rf
spite. So it went along till May, 1874,
when Bob heard of Miss Smith's return
to Chicago, hp.1 that some one said she
was engaged to somebody, for she wore
a pew ring, and be went straight that
evening and asked Jessica to inirry him.
And Jessica, realizing that she had given
Bob all the encouragement in the world
for Several months, said yes, and, being
exceedingly miserable, did not stop to
observe that Bob's manner was not as
lover-like or tender as it might be when
he made the proposal.
When Carrie Somers saw Jessica's
hand at their next meeting, she said,
4Oh!" and then stopped, and then went
on, 44 So you've both been in earnest,
have you?" Queer; I used to think Bob
and Dora Smith would make a match;
and 1 always fancied you'd marry Jack
Wilson, Jessica. How" came Bob to cut
him out?" And Jessica looked ter
straight in the eyes and said: 44 My
dear, I want you to tell me how you put
that trimming on your brown poplin. I
want my new suit trimmed the same way,
and came over to confer with you
In July a little party of six left Mil
waukee to visit the Dells, and Devil's
Lake and scenery thereabouts. Carrie
Somers, Bob Bristow, and Jessica Gray
comprised the three with which our
story is connected. I hey had a very
nice time of it for two or three days, and
the fourth day out felt like taking a rest.
So they stopped over at the Clirf Ilouse,
Devil s .Lake, to stay a week or there
abouts. They had been there just two
days, when two gentlemen came down
from the north and registered their
names as James and Jack Wilson at the
Cliff Ilouse. Bob and Carrie greeted
their old friend cordially, and there was
nothing lor Je?sicatodo but treat him
well or make their affair public. They
were all out on the veranda in the even
ing, Jack and his brother at some dis
tance from Jessica, when Carrie spoke
up: 44 Oh, Jessica, do you know my sis
ter in Chicago is so well she thinks she
will be up here this summer? I only
wish she could have come with us but
she hardly dares travel yet. I never
dreamed she could recover, last w inter.
Do you remember the time I sent Bob
over to bring you, when she telegraphed
for me?. I never got such a fright in my
life as that gave me and it all seems
like a nightmare now. She was so low
all those weeks, I did not suppose she
would ever recover. But the day before
she started she wrote, saying her physi
cian thought her almost strong enough
to travel."
Jessica expressed her pleasure and Bob
said : 44 And, by the way, Jessica, that
was the first ride that you ever took
with me. I have Carrie to thank for
that, haven't I? I remember my little
nag made good time that day going up
Spring street." And then Bob fell to
thinning of how bright his hopes were
that day in another direction and his
face clouded.
But Jack Wilson, sitting near, heard
every word and remembered. Surely that
was the very ride that had made all the
trouble, lfad he been such a fool, after
all?
He tried to speak to Jessica that even
ing and the next morning, but she avoided
him. That afternoon Carrie and Jessica
announced their determination to climb
to the top of the highest cliff a feat
they had been too tired to attempt be
fore. Two or three others went along,
and Jac k and his brother followed after.
Jessica being fleet of foot and light out
stripped them all. But Jack was not far
benind her. She turned quickly to de
scend, as soon as he reached her side,
but slipped and wrenched her foot.
Jack's outstretched arm saved her from
falling. She turned white. 44 Lean on
me," he said, 44 1 will help you down.
You are hurt, I know."
44 Only a little," she said. "I think I
can go down alone, or Mr. Brisbow will
assist me."
44 Mr. Brisbow w ill not assist you. lie
is helping that elderly lady up the cliff.
It would be unkind to call upon him. I
am here at j our service, and I think it
will be cruel and mean if you refuse my
arm."
44 It will not be the first time you have
thought me mean," Jessica said quickly,
and then bit her lip.
44 1 have been a fool, I am afraid,"
Jack a awe red, and then, 44 Oh, Jessica!
I have been so miserable and wretched
all these months! I love you more madly
than ever; for God's sake, let us go back
to the old relation and forget this miser
able misunderstanding."
44 It is too late," Jessica answered.
44 Mr. Wilson, I feel faint, and my foot
pains me. I must get back to the hotel."
Jack helped her back, and little was
said on the way. The hotel parlor was
deserted, and he assisted her to the sofa,
and sat down by her. 44 1 will stay
here," she said, 44 till Carrie comes back.
My foot is not hurt much, and only pains
me when I step on it. You can go now,
Mr. Wilson; thank you for your assist
ance." 44 But I'll not go!" cried Jack. 44 1 love
you and I know you love me, and I want
you to say you will be my wife."
4' I can't," she said firmly; 44 1 am en
gaged to Mr. Brisbow."
Jack said some hard words, and started
out of the room. He heard a little sob
and came back. Jessica was sitting with
her face buried in her hands. Jack called
her name, but she only said 44 Go away."
He looked at her a moment, started to go,
came back and caught her in his arms,
and laid her tear-wet face on his shoulder.
Just at this juncture Bob Brisbow burst
into the room. He had come back for
Carrie's parasol, which she left in the
parlor, to find his promised wife sobbing
in Jack's arms. 44 Hallo!" he said, anil
stared at them. If he had been more in
love he migtit have said something more
emphatic. As it was he only said
44 Hallo!" to express his surprise. Then
Jessica sprang up and Jack rose and said:
44 1 beg j our pardon, but I loved her first.
We were separated through a foolish
mistake, but we love each other yet. She
refuses, however, to make me happy,
because she has promised to marry you."
44 Will, she's yours, old fellow, with my
blessing," cried Bob, and hurried away
with a mist in his eyes, which Jessica
fondlv imagined was'occasioned by her
loss, out which was, on the contrary,
caused by the thought of Dora Smith.
Then Jessica told Jack all about the
matinee occurrence, and they were both
in Fools' Paradise the rest of the day.
Jack went back with the Milwaukee
party, and Carrie Somers was on the qui
rite to know what had occurred. onc
thi)t(j, she knew, but sue could not tell
what. When they got home Bob told
her of the scene in the Cliff House. 44 And
you gave her up, you dear, good fellow!"
cried sympathetic Carrie. 44 How noble
of you."
"Xot a bit of it," growled Bob. 44 1
never loved her. I only engaged myself
to her out of spite, aud I find she took
me lor the same object. Joke on both of
us, w asn't it ?"
Then Carrie questioned about and
wormed the whole story out of him.
A few days later she said she must run
down to Chicago to see her sister before
she went away. The very afternoon of
her arrival, though, she called on Dora
Smith. Found her with her trucks all
packed, ready to go to Waukesha or
Oconomowoo I'm not sure which place
for a few weeks. Carrie made a chat
ty call, and told her all the current soci
ety news in Milwaukee. 44 And I've the
very latest tjd-bH to give you," 6he said
"sweetly. -'Jessica Gray and Jack Wil
son are engaged and going to be married
in the fall late and I'm to be the first
bridesmaid."
44 Why, I supposed she was rfrry
that Mr. Briotv wild was so attentive
ist wSiitcr," Dora said, looking out of
the window.
Carrie laughed. 44 Oh, dear, no!" she
said. 44 1 know all about that he boards
with us, you know. Poor fellow, he was
in love with some girl who did not live in
the city now where did he say she lived?
Neshota Evanston somewhere south
or west of us, anyway ; and she snubbed
him, he said, and he only went with Jes
sica out of spltC. Perhaps he might have
married her, though, to make the spite
complete, if she and Jack had not met
and made up some old quarrel." And
then Carrie, in the most innocent man
ner imaginable, told about the blunder
at the matinee w hich had so effectually
separated Jack and Jessica, aud which
Jessica had told her about only the day
before.
"That shows how little it takes to
estrange people," Carrie said as she
closed the recital. 44 But really, dear, I
must not sit here and gossip all day. I
go back to Milwaukee to-morrow ; only
ran down to see my sister, and thought
I'd drop in and see you a moment." And
off she went, chuckling to herself the
little diplomatist. Miss Dora Smith
took Milwaukee in on her way to her
summer resort, and Bob Brisbow was
thunderstruck to receive a little note,
one da-, saying: 44 Miss Dora Smith
would be at the Miss Jones' that even
ing, and pleased to see her old friend
Mr. Brisbow." And Bob went, and oh,
dear, you know how it all came out.
And that's about the only time I ever
knew of good occasioned by a 44 mutual
friend." But perhaps we'd better wait
and see if they appear in the divorce
couit next year before we call it good.
I've told you the story, anyway, and now
find out who they are if you can. The
conditions on which I was permitted to
write cheni up were, that I'd disguise
their names, and never tell.

The Alabama Election Riots.
Washington, Nov. 9.
United States Marshal He'aley, under
date of Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 4, 1874,
sends to the Attorney-General the fol
lowing relative to the riots at Eufaula and
other points in Alabama on Tuesday,
Nov. 3:
44 Since telegraphing you yesterday in
relation to the riot at Euraula, my dep
uty, J. D. Williford, has returned from
that place, and from him I learn the re
sult of the riot. Xine persons were dead
when he left there at two o'clock this
morning. Only one of the dead is a
white man, who was sitting in a buggy
and taking no part in the riot. The fir
ing was commenced by the whites on
the pretext of defending a Democratic
negro at the hands of others of his race,
whereupon orders like this were issued
in a loud tone by parties in the crowd :
4 Fall in. Company A,' 4 Fall in. Company
B,' which orders were apparently obeyed.
This would show previous organization
and preparation on the part of the whites.
Xo negro was seen by my deputy, who
was present, around or firing, which ac
counts for the heavy mortality amongt.he
blacks. The casualties among the whites
are supposed to have been caused by
their oun friends I call your attention
to the newspaper accounts, all from
Democratic sources, which I inclose,
and particularly to the special of the
Morning Sews, of Savannah, Ga. A
riot also occurred last night at Spring
Hill, Barbour County, during the count
ing of the ballots, the particulars
ot which I have not received. At
this place Judge E. M. Keils, of the
City Court of Eufaula, was one of the
United States Supervisors of Election.
It is thought that the object of the con
spiracy was to destroy- the poll box.
which contained a large majority of Be
publican votes, and in the emeute to kill
Judge Keils. The box was destroyed,
but Kcils escaped. His little son, how
ever, only fifteen years old, was mortally
wounded. Some riotous demonstrations
also occurred in Mobile, the particulars
of which I have not received."
Secketary Bristow has officially de
cided that journalism is a profession, un
der the following circumstances: An
American journalist, who was returning
from Europe, bringing with him a con
siderable quantity of books for his own
library, held that the books were entitled
to be entered duty free under that sec
tion of the customs laws which makes
provision for the free importation of
books lor the use ot a library of a physi
cian, a lawyer and a clergyman. The
Custom-House officers at Baltimore,
where the books were entered, decided
that journalism is not a profession and
that the books must pay duty. An ap
peal was taken to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who has reversed their decis
ion.

"Never touch the bars, frog, sole or outer
surface with a knife or rasp. Shoe with
light, thin shoes that allow the sole bars
and frog to be brought in contact with
the ground, and thus bear their due pro
portion of the horse's weight. Use small
nails, and not over five of them. Xever
allow the points to be driven high up the

use only tins which protect the toe, but
leave the entire ground surface of the

Mortality In Poultry.
Ordinarily 6 or 8 per cent, of adult
fowls will die of disease annually when
they are kept for profit and given a stim
ulating diet to make them lay as much
as possible. This is not surprising when
we reflect that our domestic fowls are in
a highly artificial condition. The pro
duction of large numbers of eggs is un
natural, being a habit induced by man,
and causes a great strain on the consti
tution. The artificial supply of food in
unlimited allowance, with no necessity
for exercise on the part of the fowls, is
another source of disease. In the wild
state every species of bird must work
for a living and procure their food a lit
tle at a time. It may be observed, also,
that during the very part of the year
when food, perchance, is abundant,
the wild fowls are kept from laziness by
the necessity of feeding their young,
nature having fixed the breeding time in
the flush season as regards forage.
Again, the structure of fowl3 is .so
changed by ages of breeding that the
wings and legs and whole sets of mus
cles connected therewith are dwarfed by
disease, while other portions of the body
are made relatively larger, which impairs
the general vigor by destroying to some
extent the natural balance of the organ
ization. For these and other reasons it
is to be expected that the ordinary death
rate in the poultry yard w ill be consider
able, the tact that fowls will die oi old
age anyhow when five or six at most
eight years old (in most cases) renders
it likely that a certain portion will die
annually at an earlier age. In conformity
w irh this idea, geese, which do not reach
old ane till twenty to 100 3-ears, do not
drop off in the earlier years of maturity
to as creat an extent as liens.
The moral of the above is that novices
in poultry raiding need not worry over
their ill-luck, or mistrust that tueir man
agement is any worse than that of their
neighbors, because perchance a few of
their lowls of two, or three or lour years
old die every summer. It is to be ex
pected unless the breed kept is uncom
monly hardy and all the circumstances
are unusually favorable. Reduce the
death rate as much as possible by hy
gienic measures rather than by medi
cine. Give plenty of air and sunshine,
feed moderately and promote exercise,
and expect some losses in spite of all
precautions. Bujfulo Lire $tock Journal.
Japanese Waxworks.
A correspondent of the Cleveland
Herald writes of a famous Buddhist tem
ple in Japan, and says: 44 A description
of Asakusa would be incomplete without
allusion to the 4 waxworks.' These are
in a small building in the rear of the
temple. They are the work of an artist
who was deeply impressed w ith the at
tributes of the gentle goddess of mercy,
and who sought to thus perpetuate the
memory of some remarkable inc idents in
her career. The groups are thirty-two
in number, and each one is a complete
story in itself. The work of the artist
has been wrought with wonderful fidel
ity to nature. There is none of that
stiff, staring impassivity about his work
that generally marks the best efforts of
the kind. Some of the figures, as they
appear in the dim light, are so wonder
fully life-like that one is half-inclined to
believe the spectacle a bit of masquer
ading, and in all of them the end of art
is attained, for art is altogether hidden
from view. I especially recall the figure
of a woman w ho is represented as wor
shiping the image of Kuanon. Old and
bowed down with pain, she is hoppling
through the street when the car of the
goddess appears. The aged woman
drops her crutch and raises her palsied
hands toward the glorious image of
mercy with a look of piteous plead
ing upon her shrunken face and
her lip3 seemingly half-moving in
agonized entreaty. Each group has
its moral, impressing the beholder
with the beauty and sure . reward
of kindness and sympathy, even toward
the lowest animal. In all Kuanon plays
a prominent part. Here a kiad-hearted
woman having purchased a turtle from
one who is about to slay it, and having
set it free, is rewarded as the gratetul
animal bears her drowning child safe to
her arms. In contrast with this is the
punishment of a man who has cruelly
and unnecessarily killed a crab. Kuanon
appears to him, and at her command his
limbs are transformed to a reptile's tail,
and as he stands transfixed witn horror a
thousand crabs sally forth and, crawling
over his helpless body, woumf him to
death. The look of agony upon the
man's face as he raises his arms in futile
endeavor to drive off the slimy, slow
moving creatures is literally horrible.
Another group combines the grotesque
with the ludicrous in an amusing degree.
A laborer has been digging upon for
bidden ground, when suddenly a wood
demon appears, and with distended jaws
and gleaming teeth 4 goes for' Rusticus
in a way the latter evidently despises.
The look of consternation upon the poor
fellow's face at the appearance of this
very unexpected and somewhat unwel
come surprise party'is laughable indeed.
The demon himself is a perfect prototype
of the ' Gentleman in Black' as the old
books pictured him with horns, tail and
hoofs galore "
t The following recipe recently re
ceived a prize at London, Ontario, as the
best method of keeping eggs over win
ter: 44 Whatever excludes the air pre
vents the decay cf the egg. What I
have found to be the most successful
method of doing so is to place a small
quantity of salt butter in the palm of
the left hand and turn the egg round in
it so that every pore of the shell is
closed: then dry a sufficient quantity of
bran in an oven (be sure you have the
bran well dried or it will rust). Then
Eack them Tvith the small ends down, a
lyerofbran and another of eggs, until
your box is full: then place in a cool, dry
place. If done when new laid they w ill
retain the sweet milk and curd of a new
laid egg for at least eight or ten months.
Any oil will do, but salt butter never be
comes rancid, and a very small quantity
of butter will do a very large quantity
of eggs. To insure freshness I rub them
whengathered in from the nests; then
pack when there is a sufficient quan
tity." E. Alexander.

Exports or Musical Instruments.
Official records of Custom-IIouse re
turns at Washington show that the total
value of musical instruments exported
from the United States during the year
ending June 30, 1874, was $350,8:27. Of
this, $258,176 was for pianos and $-2J'2,131
for parlor.or reed organs. Of this latter
amount $103,109, or more than one-half of
the whole, was of the cabinet organs made
by the Mason & Hamlin Oisoan Co.,
which bid fair to become as famous in
Europe as they have long been in Ameri
ca. This company certainly have reason
to be proud of the fact that the European
demand for their organs is larger than
hat for all others combined. Boston

Try Tt. A Tonic and Al erative medi

properties of which actually lengthen
life and add to the capacity for its en
joyment, is within the reach of every
member of the community. Xo invalid
who has had recourse to'Du. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters will hesitate to con
cede to it these invaluable qualities. It
is a stomachic and a corrective of unri
valed efficacy, yet, being free from alco
hol, it is Wit an excitant. Its anti-bilious
operation is more direct, speedy and cer
tain than that of any of the dangerous
mineral salivants, and as an aperient it
gently removes any obstructions that
may have accumulated inT.jfc lower in
testine without producing either irrita
tion or pain. In fact its wonderful re
medial effects are unaccompanied by any
drawback. Of all medicines it is the
most harmless and salubrious. As an
appetizer it is far ahead of any of the
alcoholic nostrums that momentarily
stimulate the palate ; while as a means
of renovating a weak and torpid stomac h
it stands alone among modern remedies. 8

The Prettiest Woman in New York, Miss
K , well known In our fashionable society for her
dUtingue appearance and beautiful complexion, was
once a sallow, rough-skinned girl, chagrined at her
red, freckled face. She pitched into Hagan's Magnolia
Balm, and Is now as pretty In complexion as she is
charming in manners. This article overcomes freckles,
tan, sallowness, mo'.h-patches, ring-marks, etc., and
makes one look ten years younger than they are. Mag
nolia Balm for a transparent complexion, and Lyon's
Kathairon to make the hair plentiful, luxnriant, soft
and delicate, have no rivals. Th&Aathairon prevents
the hair from turning gray, eradicates dandruff, and is
the best and cheapest dressing In the world.

answer for him to indorse a remedy In print. Here's
consistency. But we didn't kick him, aa the horse
did. The world knows that for liheumatism. Bruises,
