CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
Welly's Tca-rnriy.
Nelly Ray lives in a brown cottage
down by the river. There are not many
houses near, and no little children to
play with her. One day her mamma
took her to the city to visit her cousin.
She was older than Nelly, and had a
good many playmates.
While Nelly was there Emma had a
tea-party and invited her little friends.
Nelly enjoyed it ve'ry much, and after
she went home wanted to have a party
of her own.
' "But," said her mamma, "whom will
you invite?"
"Oh, I don't know," replied Nelly.
"I can find sQUiebodv, I think. And
I'll have my dolls."
Nelly had three dolls—Maria Louisa,
Victoria and Cinderella. Then she had
a little dog named Frisk* and three
cats. Snowdrop was the mother, and
Punch and Judy Were kittens. Nelly
thought that with all of them she
could have quite a party.
f Her mamma gave her some co)kie&
and milk. Sho picked a bouquet of
daisies and buttercups for her table.
Maria Louisa and Victoria were tak
ing their afternoon nap when they
were invited, but Cinderella was no
where to be found. It took Nelly some
time to remember where she had her
l;ist. And where do you think it was?
Up in the old apple-tree! Then Nelly
called Frisk and Snowdrop, and of
course Punch and Judy came running
after.
- So they went to Nelly's little play
house. They all had to sit on the
ground except Victoria, who had a
high chair. They soon ate up the re
freshments, and as only Nelly could
talk, the party did not last long. v:;„
1 "Oh, mamma," said Nelly, "it was
such a funny party; Frisk wanted all
the cake, and while I was talking to
Maria Louisa and Victoria, Punch and
Judy drank up all the milk. Then poor
Cinderella rolled clown the bank, but
Frisk brought her back again. I don't
believe Snowdrop had a mouthful to
eat. And I'd rather have my supper
with you."
"Well," s.ud mamma, "now go put
your dollies to bed and have a good
ruu with Frisk. By the time you come
back supper will bo ready, and I'll tell
you a story."— Our Little Ones.

Honorable Scars.
There is one member of the present
United States government whose face
is so scarred as to be pitiful to look
upon; but the story of these scars is a
record so honorable that no decoration
of the Legion of Honor confers more
glory than do these cruel seams and
gashes.
When this man of whom we write
was but a boy, he was sitting with his
younger sister before the fire of a
country house, where they were spend- j
ing the Christmas holidays. Did a
spark snap from the blazing wood that
crackled so merrily upon the hearth ?
Or did some incautious movement on
the girl's part bring her dress too near
the blaze? At any rate, in an instant
her clothes were all aflame.
The boy loved his pretty sister even
more, perhaps, than most brothers do.
Ile.was proud of her cleverness and of
her beauty. Should the fierce flames
scorch her life out before bis eyes?
lie caught a wrap from the sofa, a
rug from the floor. lie wrapped them
round her an 1 struggled for her life,
so utterly forgetful of himself that, at
the end, he was burned almost beyond
human recognition, while on her fair
girl s face the lire had left no mark. I
And the boy was well content. "I
am a boy," lie said, "and it does not
matter. She could not have borne it."
For a long time his life was despair
ed of, but at length the vital forces of
bis strong youth triumphed, and he
went forth into the world again, wear
ing his scars for a badge of glory in
the eye 3 of all those who knew the
tale.
lie has made himself one of the men
of mark of his generation. lie has
won love for himself and distinction
and the fair repute of men. But of ah
the gains of his life, none do him such
honor as those scars of his early battle.
The sister, whom he saved from the
.awful fate that threatened lier, has
won her own laurels also. She lives in
Italy amid "the grandeur that was
Rome," whence she sends to America
some of the brightest and most charm
ing work which our journals print.
1 She has a salon where you meet the
men and women best worth knowing.
Her life is happy and prosperous—but,
for all its pleasures, she has to thank
the scars which would make her broth- !
er's face unpleasant to look upon, did
not the knowledge of how they were
won make them his crowning glory.—-

Cat Flowers,
One of the safest and best ways to
send a few choice cut flowers to a dis
tance is to cut slits in potatoes and in
sert the flower steins, taking care that
they are firmly fastened in and support
ed by a little cotton or paper. An oi"
dinary potato will keep most flowers
fresh for two weeks or more in a mod
• 1
erate temperature. Potatoes can also
be used in floral decorations through
being disguised by leaves and flowers.

If any ono had informed Queen Eliza both
In l.er nnlmieat days that she could have been
seated in her palace in Ix>ndon andconverseJ
with Sir Walter Raleigh in hie North Caro
lina homo; receiving a reply from him within
an hour's time, ehe would have doclarod it to
be a mirnclo. And yet, had they lived in the
prosont day, this apparent miracle would
nrost readily have been witnessed and not
soein at all strange or unnatural. The truth
is, new principles are coming into existence,
and the operation of many laws unknown in
tho past is being fully understood in the
presont, In no way does this fact come more
forcibly to tho mind than in the care and
treatment of tho human body. Millions of
people have died in past ages from some in
fiignillcant or easily controlled cause which
is thoroughly understood" now and rendily
handled. Consumption during the entire pi nt
has boon consideied nn incurable disease.
Aud yet it is demonstrated that it has bocn
and can tie cured, even after it has had a lone
rim. Dr. Felix Oswald ha just contributed
n notable article on this subject to the Popu
lar Science MnnfUhj. He regards consump
tion as pulmonary scrofula. The impurities
of the blood producj a constant irritation in
tho lungs, thus destroying their do icate tis
kui'B and causing death! His theory shown
conclusively that consumption is a blood dis
easo. It has its origin primarily in a durungod
condition of tho kidneys or liver, the only two
organs of the body, aside fiom tho lungs, that
purify tho blood. When tl o kidneys or liver
are tfipoased they are in asjio or lacerated
state, which communicates poison to every
ouuoe of blood that passes through them.
This poisonous blood circulates through the
syntoni aud comes to the lungs, where the
poison in deposited, anusing decomposition
in the finely formed cell# of the lungs. Auy
diseased part of the body has contaminating
power, and yet the blood, which is the life of
the system* is brought into direct coutiet
with those poisoned organs, thus carrying
contagion to *1! parts of the body. Hishop
Jeaso T. l'eck, I>. 1)., LLD., whose death has
been so recently rcgietted, is reported to have
died of pucuinonin.'wh ch me lie d Authori
ties affirm indicates a diseased condition of
tie kidneys. It is well known, moreover,
that for several years he had been the victim
of severe kidney trouble, a id the pneumonia
which finally terminated Ins life was only the
last result of the previous blood poisoning.
The deadly matter which is left in the lungs
by the impure blood clogs up and finally
chokes the patient. When this is accom
plished rapidly it is called pneutnnraor quick
consumption; when slowly, consumption, but
in any event it is the result of itnpme blood,
caused by diseased kidneys and liver.
Torso are facts of sc once, and vouched for
by nil the lending physicians of thoday. They
show the desirability—nay, the necessity, of
keeping these most important organs in per
fect condition, not only to insure health, but
also to escape death. It Imsbem fully shown,
to tho satisfaction of nearly every unpreju
diced mind, thai Warner's .Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure i* tho only known remedy that
can cure and keep in lw.dlh thee great blood
purifying organs of tho body. It acts dii ectly
upon these mein! ers, healing all ulcers which
inay ha\e formed in them, and placing them
in a condition to purify and not poison the
blood. This is no idle statement nor fnl-e
theory. Mr. W. Bench, foreman of the
Buffalo (N.Y.) Rubber Type Foundry, was
given up to die by both physicians and friends.
For four years he hod a terrible cough, ac
companied liy night sweat*, clul's, and all the
well known symptom*. He spent a season
South and found no relief. He says: "I
finally conclude J to try Warner's Safe Cure,
and iu three months I gained twenty pounds,
recovered my lo*t energy and my health was
fu'ly le-tored." Tho let could tie prolonged
indefinitely, but (nough has been said to prove
to e\ery Milfert-r from pulmonic troubles that
there is no leason to be di couraged in the

savings deposits in this country is held
by the banks in only twelve out of
thirty-eight States of the Union. The
following will show the amount of the
deposits in each of those States as re
turned on May 81, 1882, and the popu
lation according to the United States
census of 1880:
Stat©.*. Depoßitn. Population.
California $ 46,132,843 661,694
Connecticut 80,981,895 622,700
Maine 25,729.790 648,916
Maryland 24,958.901 934,943
Massachusetts 252,0'10,519 1,783,085
New Hampshire... 85,580,031 846,991
New Jersey 23,850,302 1,131,116
New York 370,637,163 5,082,871
Ohio 12,061.399 8,198.062
Pennsylvania 42,706.793 4,262,891.
Rhode Island 40.915,7.59 276,531
Vermont 8,891,159 832,203
Total *970.585,514 19,505,106
All the States 961,380,832 49,371,340
From this statement it appears that
the banks in these twelve States, with
a population in 1880 of 19,505,10(5, held
$970,585,554 out of $981,380,832 of
savings deposits in all the States of the
Union on jMay 31, or very nearly
ninety-nine per cent, of the whole.
Assuming that the population was the
same in May, 1882, as in .June, 1880,
which is near enough to the truth for
the purposes of the present calculation,
the deposits in the twelve States named
averaged very nearly SSO per head of
population. The same average for all
the States would bring the aggregate
deposits up to the snug sum of $2,465,-
QOO.OOO or about $1,110,000,000 more
fhan the total interest-bearing debt of
the United States.

"The greea leaf of the new come Spring."—Shot.
Everybody recognizes spring, when it is
once upon as, bnt many persons are not
familiar with the exact d ito of its appearance.
Webster, the world-renowned lexicographer,
Rives ns a definition, which may not be in
appropriate here. "Spring," says he, "i®
the season of the year when plants begin to
vegetate and rise; the vernal peason, compre
hending the month* of March, April and May,
in the middle latitudes north of the equator."
Thompson, in his "Seasons," and Shakea
peare, in many of his works, have, perhaps,
no peers in describing it, and yet "etheietl
spring" is freighted with malaria, "that
insidious foe, lurking nnseen in the very air
we breathe." It spreads over the faire>tpor- .
tions of onr land; brings death and disease
to thousands; cuts off scores upon scores of
our children and yonth, as well as those in
advanced life. A pestilence is rcgaided with
little less apprehension, and people every
where are asking, " What is it?" " Where
does it come from?" " What will euro it?"
KIDNEY-WOBT AS A SPRING MEDICINE.
When you begin to lose ajpotile;—have a
headache, a pain in your side, back and
shoulders;—to toss about at night in restless
dreams; —wake in the morning with a foal
month and furred tongue;—feel disinclined
to go about your work, heavy in body and
oppressed in mind;—have a fitof the blues;—
when your urine gets scanty or high colored;
—to suffpr with constipation, diarrhoea or
indigestion;—have a pasty, sallow face, dull
eyes, and a blotched skin;— one or all of
these common complaints will certainly be
evidences that your liver is disordered, torpid
or perhaps diseased. A bottle of Kiduey-
Wortis, under such circumstances, a price
less boon t3 such a person.
Bare assertions of proprietors have come
to possess less force than they frequently
merit. The cause of this condition of popu
lar skepticism is, in the main, to be found in
the fact that charlatanism covers oar broad
land. Meritorious articles are too frequently
found in bad company.
The proprietors of Kidney-Wort always
prove all their assertions touching the merits
of their preparations. When wo affirm,
therefore, that Kidney-Wort is a specific for
sust such disorders as have been mentioned
in this article, the proof, too, belongs to and
shall follow this statement-
