It comes from the Reeky mountains, California and Georgia. There are three qualities of gold, green, yellow and white. They make out of those three qualities of gold, watches, money, rings, bracelets, chains, watch charms, cuff buttons, collar buttons, pen hold ers, thinbles, napkin rings, and neck laces. Gold is so very soft that it is hardened with copper and iron. Cop per when mixed with it makes it red; iron when mixed with it makes it blue.!: So gold is the most valuable metal in the United States. Jay P. Geksleb, aged 12. Coffee Coffee grows on a bush from five to ten feet high. The branches are almost to the ground. The plant stays green all winter. One bush will not bear more than a pound of j coffee. When it is ripe they gather it and put it in a large room to dry. it will not grow when it gets to our country. It has to have a moist climate to grow in. Laura Smith, aged 9. HAPPY' RESULTS.

SWEPT INTO THE STREAM. One Thousand Acres of Land, and "Bight Smart of Bean." On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by a sweep of his arm the waters the boat was passing over, he said to a passenger from the north : '"When I was twelve years old I killed my first bear on a new planta tion my father was then cutting out of a forest that grew directly over the wateie of this bend. That was a mighty good plantationand there was right smart of bears there, too. But that one thousand acres of land went into the Missisippi years ago." It is putting no strain upon the fig-, ure to say that great forests of youth ful hope, womanly beauty and manly strength are swept in the same way every year into the great turbid tor rent of disease and death. Yet it should not be so. That it is so is a dis grace as well as a loss. People are largely too careless or too stupid to de fend their own interests the most precious ot which is health. That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple, but to recklessness or ignorance the the simplest things might as well be complex as a proposition in conic sec tions. As the huge Western rivers, which so often flood the cities along their shores, arise in a few mountain springs, so all our ailments can be traced to impure blood and a small group of disordered organs. " ' - .- v m m The most ettective ana inclusive remedy for disease is Parker's Tonic. It goes to- the sources of pain and weakness. In response to its action, the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their work afresh, and disease is dnven out The tonic is not, howev er an intoxicant, but cures a desire f r strong drink.
