Ancient History.
Siaion BolSirar, the so-called liberator
of Columbia, was a regular character.

manners and conversation, bat very fre
quently whenxx;ipying positions of re

self into x hammock and otter curses
und imprecations upon everybody nnfor
tcnute enough to be near hiia. On the
t.iher hand, when, as was often thecal
in Lis op and 2on career, he was bat
tling apiiust adversity, and was almost
destitute of friends, he was mild, patient,
tad even submissive. H was then seen
st his verv best. In war Bolivar wasone
..file jrea:ftlco-ards thai ever lived.
Tiiiie and uraia he tiole 'away from his
troops in the dead of night and sought a

The Way to Live.
To live content will small means; to
seek elegance rather than fashion ; to be
worth v, nut respectable; and wealthy,
not rich; to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly ; to liaten to ;-tara
and birds, to ba' -esand sages with open
heart ; to bear all cheerfully, do all brave
ly, await occasion?, hurry never in a
word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and
unconscious, grow up through the com
mon ; this i to 1. my hyuphony. Wil

Queer Old Santa Claus.
wr patron saint cf the gift season is
evidently a resident of the arctic region,
for from time immemorial his peregrina
tions have always been accomplished in
a sleigh at least so the story goes. He
isaijueer old fell -jw that Santa Claus,
too, and the ideal of the individual pict
ured in the minds of the little ones is
generally quaint and novel. With his
grent mysterious bag, which he is always
emptying, but which, like Fortunatus's
purse, is never emptied, with his round,
jo'ly fire and plethoric little body, with
his eight prancing rein-deers, which lly
like the wind from house to house, old
SinU Clans is gladly welcomed Christ
mas eve in the houses of the rich and
poor alike, wherever he dispenses his
presents.

He Drove Slowly.
It is not uncommon to refer to the
forms ned in many hoahold by sotce
fatuiiiar name, and dressmakers frequent
ly designate them as " Mary Jane." A
A household wherein the skirt form had
come to be called " Miss Susan," bad on
amusing; experience on account of it.
The form had been lent and a new
coachman had just driven with some of
the fondly, when the spirit form was re
membered. He was directed to drive to
a certain house, g-t n Miss Suaan," and
come back with her in a bnrry.
After a long delay, the carriage drove
np at a mournful pace. " .Share, ma'am,"
aaid the cachman, in explanation of his
delay, "they had to lift her acroet the
sidewalk into the coach, and I tnought
the was a very sick lady, indeed, and so
I had tetter drive slow." -V. '. Trilwne.
Water Purified By Electricity.
The Webster method of purifying waste
water bv means of electricity has been
tested by Dr. Fermi in the Hygienic Insti
tute, at Munich, Germany. During the
course of the exper! mecta it was found
that the water became purified in about
fifteen minutes, the organic aubstanoea
being reduced by about one-half, and the
to the bottom. The small of the water
w as irceptib!y improved.
While the results of the tests show that
electricity does not at the present time re
alize the ideal of water purification, it has
two great advantages : first, that very
little iron is precipitated and its removal
is not so difficult as in the case of purifi
cation by chemical means, and, second,
the dissolved organic substances, which
are not precipitated by any of the known
chemical methods hitherto employed,
are at least partially removed by the
electric current.
Confidence!
Yes, public confidence, that's the key
ful advertising. The
day for fooling the public is past, and we
wouldn't do it if we could. Consumers
are never "fooled" whea they buy Klein's
celebrated "Silver Ago" or Duquesne
P.yes." These famous brands of absolutely
pure w hisky are now known and sold
everywhere from the Atlantic to the
Pacific slope. Kvery d.iy swells the long
list of customers. Why? Ilecause the
ahi-kies named stand solely on their
merits. I-eading physicians all over the
land indorse and prescribe them pretty
conclusive evideni that the goods are
just as represented the purest and best
obtainable. A poor whisky is never
cheap, but always injurious. You take
no chances in ordering "Silver Age" or
'Duquefne," which sell respectively at
$1."iO and fli" per full quart. Tackages

The Force of Habit.
A story illustrating the force of habit,
aa related by a clergyman who claimed
to have beard it in its spontaneity, seems
good enough to repeat.
A college professor and his daughter
sat at a hotel table w ith the narrator of
the story. In the course of conversation
the professor, wishing to express nega
tion, made use of the objectional form
"nope."
"Father," said the daughter energetic
ally, "you shouldn't say 'nope,' you should
say no."
"I suppose so, my dear," acquiesced
the father. "It is the force of habit that
makes me sav nope."
"Why, father, have yon always S..51
nope?" inquired the young lady.
The father reflected for a moment. A
dreamy smile lit up his features, and he
gently and peacefully murmured, "Y'ep."

Sunstruck Steel.
According to Jmn, one cf the most
trustworthy of the English technical
journals, the light of the sun and moon
has a very deleterious effect upon edged
tools. Knives, drills, scythes and sickles
assume a blue color if they are exposed
for sometime to the light and heat of the
sun; the sharp edge disappears and the
tool is rendered alolutely useless until
it is retempered. A similar prejudicial
etlect has been exercised by moonlight
An ordinary saw is said to have been put
out of shape in a single night by expos
ure to the light of the moon.
"Busted," Not Broken.
I loubtless our unlettered friend- have
fine distinctions in the use of words, for
which we do not give them suilicient
credit. A new pupil in a colored school
took a shattered lamp chimney to show
her teacher.
"Ah!" said he, "your chimney is
broken, is it ? '
"No, sir," she answered, "it's busted."
In her distinction of terms lay all the
diSerenee betw een a confession of guilt
and an assertion of innocence. The
word "broken" she understood to mean
that the mishap had occurred by her
own fault; and in correcting to "busted"
she meant to imply that some unknow n
agency, a current of cold air, perhaps had
caused the break.
Here is a distinction as clear and real
as we n.ake in more scholarly terms.

Potato Buttons.
There cmI lie no fear of an over-production
of potatoes now, since it has been
found that by treating the substance of
the potato with certain ari ls, and then
finbierting it to great pressure, there isob
tained a material almost likestone, which
can be employed for many of the purposes
to which horn and bone have been used.
The buttnns made of potato can only be
distinguished from those of bone by cluee
examination by an expert.
The new button tan be colored in any
desired shade, and their cheapness will
probably injure their popularity ia the
future. It is stated that a German factory
is making these buttons in considerable
iaantiiua.

It's the only way to use some

for a man or w oman. It means

That means health. It invig

purities the blood and cleanses
and renews the whole system.
For all scrofulous humors and

taken in time, it's a positive
remedy. It's a. guaranteed one.
In alf diseases of the liver,

A Fortunate Accident
HiM Alice RiJeout. winner of the prue
for the artistic work on the Woman's
Fair Itailding at Chicago, took op model-
csby acci'lent, as told in thiaetory:
i?he t otit walkini in San Franciaco
with her large mastiff one morning, and
happening to paas the half-open door of
Rupert Schmidfe atudio, the dog bound
ed in and upset a recently finished mod
el. Miss Rideont hastened after the ani
mal to apologize, but finding noon in
the stadio, commenced to remodel the
arm of the figure, which had been broken
off. While thus engaged Mr. Schmidt
quietly entered and watched the ama
teur at work. He soon recognized her
unuxual ability, but did not make his
presence known until ahe stepped back
to survey the work of repair. It required
little persuasion to induce her to learn
modeling, and she has fulfilled all the
sculptor's expectations." I'lUlailelphia
LfJ'jer.
Breaking it Gently.
Ia the province of Holstein, noted for
its superior breed of cattle, the country
people are not only very thrifty, but ex
ceedingly fond of their cows, as may be
gathered from the following characteris
tic story :
Faraier Jan was walking sadly down
the road one day, when the village pas
tor met him."
" Why so sad, Farmer JanT said the
pastor.
" Ab, I have a very sad errand, pas
tor, replied Jan.
" What is it?"
" Farmer Henrik's cow is dead in my
pasture, and I am on my y to tell
him."
" A hard task, Jan."
" Indeed it ie. pastor, but I shall break
it to him gently."
" How will you do that 7"
" I shall tell him first that it is his
mother who is dead, and then, having
opened the way for sadder news still, I
shall tell him that it is not his mother,
but the cow." Ltmdun 7 id-Bitt.
The Best Authorities.
Such as Dr. Dio Lewis, Prof. Gross,
and others, agree that catarrh is not a
ln.nl liut a constitutional disease, it
therefore requires a constitutional remedy
like 1 Iood's SaUaparil'a, which effectually
and permanently cures catarrh. Thous
ands praise it.
Hood's Tills cure liver ills, jaundice.
biliousness, sick headache, constipation
and all troubles of the digestive organs.
Christmas comes but once a year, and
it is very lucky for the man with a large
family that he has fifty-two weeks to
catch np before the next one arrives.
Uncle Josh came down from the inte
rior of the State to spend Christmas with
his friends in the city. What surprised
bim most was the greediness of his young
nenhew.
"How is it, Johnny," he asked, as be
sat at dinner, "that you always like to
help yourself best?"
"Because," returned the little bend
with his mouth full, "I'm sure to get
more."

Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
Just like a Cough or Cold does after
you use Pan-Tana, the great remedy for
Coughs, Colds and Consumption.

Seasonable Reflection.
What to do in honor of Christmas day
Reflect a little and answer. To enforce
iust self discipline and eliminate mean
selfishness and ignoble passion lrom me
heart is to do one's duty as the historic
associations of the day should suggest
to forgive is always noble; to give with
wise discrimination is both philosophi
ealand philanthropic: to be kind and
cheerful is to enjoy happiness and refled
its serene influence upon others; to plant
here and there in life's great field some
seed that shall germinate and bring forth
flowers of beauty, redolent of sweetest
odor, is the manifestation of refreshing
love that may appropriately find expess-
ion in Merry Christmas.

The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhytne of poetry
The beauty of thy voice.
Which you cannot do if you suffer

Tina, the best remedy for Hoarsness and
Influenza.

Hated Noises.
Leech's morbid horror of noise is wel
known. His nervous affection was more
exasperated in him that even in Carlyle.
One evening a convivial party of the
Ancient Order of Foresters, returning
from, perhaps, the Crystal Palace, where
high festival had been held, roused poor
Leech almost to madness by a yelling
uproar opposite his door. He left his
work and rushed bareheaded among
them.
"What are yon making this horrible
row for?"
And then seeing the extraordinary
Robin Hood kind of costume affected by
those people, be said :
"What's it all about ho are yon
' "We are Foresters, that's what we are,'
was the reply.
"Then why on earth don't yon go into
a forest and make your infernal row there
instead of disturbing a whole street with
your noise?" said Leech. From tlie Life
of Jul, a Jjttch.
Merit Wins.
we desire to ssy to our citizens, that for
years we have been sellinn Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, Ir.
King's N'ew Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica
Salve and Electric Bitters, and never had
remedies that sell as well, or that have
given snob universal satisfaction. We do
not hesitate to guarantee thein every
time, and we stand ready to refund the
purchase price, if aatiafactory results do
not foliow their use. These remedies
have won their great popularity purely on
their merits. J. x. Snyder's Druggists
