How Mountains Get Their Names.
Mountains and mountain ranges in
the United States, and, indeed, the
world over, have usually been named
not by the mountaineers themselves,
but by the dwellers in the plains, who
saw the mountains as a more or less
distant prospect. It sometimes hap
pens that a mountain range bears two
names because ot different aspects
present to dwellers on tach side. The
several Blue and Blue Ridge Moun
tains were named manifestly by those
to whom the ranges presented them
selves against a more or less distant
horizon. One of the Green Moun
tains in Vermont is called Bald Face
by dwellers in the Adirondack region
about Paul Smith's, a name justified
by the aspect of the mountain from
that part of the wilderness. Our own
Adirondack Sugar Loaf could never
have been named by a dweller upon
its ovn top. The Orange Mountains
took their name, however, not from
their sunset aspect as seen from the
lowlands, but are only another evi
dence of the affection with which
Dutchmen cling to the name orange,
an affection which has led them to fix
that name on the map in whatever
part of the world they may have tar
ried. New York Sun.
Nothing does the work so well
Mr. P. Byrd of New Grand Chain,
Ills., writes : "Being exposed to all
sorts of weather I am more or less
liable to have pains of some kind. I
have tried a number of different so
called remedies, but nothing does the
work so well as Salvation Oil. It is
the best liniment I have ever used."

Mr. Potlgers (testily). "Well, I

Mrs. P. "I know. But, as I'm of
an economical turn, I hate to see so
much of a good man going to waist."

We desire to say to our citizens,
that for years we have been selling
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con

Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric

medies that sell as well, or that have
given such universal satisfaction. We
do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time, and we stand ready to re
fund the purchase price, if satisfactory
results do not follow their use. These
remedies have won their great popular
