~ALL SORTS' Jack Frost is coining'-to-come. The successful politician, like the skillful hotel clerk, can always call you by name. Is is said that a fresh ouiou cut and laid in cupboards and refrigerators will drive red ants away. It is estimated at the Treasury De partment that four million dollars of foreign gold coin will be received monthly until November first. It will require about 75,000 miles of hop iron to tie up the cotton crop, Thus a large cotton crop helps the iron trade both directly and indirectly. Two thousand "Herrs" and "Sig -nors" who have been furnishing music at the watering places will now return to their positions behind two thousand bars. The Gynecological Association was one of the bodies that held annual con ventions lately. The place ot meeting was Cincinnati, and many essays were read. The people who in one way or an other are dependant for bread upon the government make about sixty thou sand of the population of Washington. About three thousand clerks own houses, which, in case of a change of officers would be thrown upon the market. Two French youts have just amus ed themselves by crossing swords »in the one hundred and forty-first encoun ter according to the code that has taken place this year on the border of France. One of the combatants, got his hand scratched, and the duel stop at the sight of blood. Miss Booth, the editor of Harper's Bazar, who gets $5,000 a year salary, believes in women as workers, but finds that the great majority attempt what they have not fitted themselves for, and consequently make dismal failuses, retiring disheartened and ready to rail at the injustice of men. A Wisconsin cow died not long ago, after a lingering illness, attended by a persistent cough. After her death a veterinary surgeon opened the wind pipe to discover the cause of the irrita tion, and found in the upper part of the lung a live stripped frog of ordi nary size. The surrounding portion of the lung was much discolored. A funeral procession at Oxford, Ind., found itself without a minister when the grave was reached. After an em barrassing delav, a ragged tramp, who was passing by on a railroad track stopped, announced that he was a clergyman, and the mourners consent ing, proceeded with the services, con ducting them to the satisfaction of all. There is nothing more important to successful sweet potato cultivation than proventing the vines from taking root. This is fully understood in the South, but we find it is often neglect ed in the North. Just as soon as the vines take root, most of the nourish ment beyond goes to the new roots in stead of to the tubers forming in the hill. "As the American," says the Rev. David Swing of Chicago, "can out chew and out-spit and out-talk the rest of the world, so cam he out-swear the residue of humanity. Sitting behind two gentlemen for a day, as our train glided along from St. Paul toward Chicago, the words 'by God' came back to me 700 times, when bed time made me quit counting." In some foreign countries certain bridges and monumeuts, if not conse crated to suicide, are largely used for that purpose; and a similar setting apart is evidently sought by some peo ple for Niagara Falls. Mr Knapp, of TJtica, who both shot himself and plunged over the Falls, took needless precautions, for he could not have survived the plunge alone. Gen. Haskell of the Salvation Army • is journeying in the West. At St. Louis he rushed out of his tent and kicked one of the colored boys who were disturbing meeting. Repenting of his conduct, he kissed the lad and gave him twenty cents, but the twen ty cents did not appease the young sters wrath nor the kiss heal the kick, and he had the General arrested. A fine of fifty dollars was imposed. The arrivala of immigrants in Au gust At the port of New York are offi cially stated to have been 25,300, or about 4,000 more than in any month of the last twenty years. At Phila delphia and Baltimore there has been corresponding increase. All the signs go to show that President Hayes has good reason for estimating the addi tions to our population, in the next ten years, to be five millions by immigra tion alone. The teacher of a Sunday school class in one of the East Bridgeport churches gave the little ones a description of the flood, and when she had finished in quired if any one could tell who went into the ark with the animals. A per fect chorus of hands flew up in re sponse. Turning to a little fellow, the teacher said, "Tell me who went into the ark with the animals ?" "P. T. Barnum," promptly replied the young ster. The lesson closed. Dalye-Lama , the earthly god of Thibet, lately became seriously ill. The priest applied to the Emperor for the appointment of a new divinity. The candidate has to present himself to the dying Dalye-Lama, who trans mits to him his divine soul, which has thus been passed down from the found er of the Thibet religion, Dzon-Epa. The yearly income of the deity of Thi bet is said to be over $1,000,000. He occupies a palace, in which are more than a hundred golden idols. A clergyman in Mt. Chestnut lately married a lady with whom he received the substantial dowry of ten thousand dollars and a fair prospect for more. Soon afterward, while occupying the pulpit, he gave out a hymn, read the first four stanzas and was reading the fifth- Forever let my grateful heart Her boundless love adore— when he hesitated and exclaimed: "Amen! The choir will omit the fifth verse," and sat down. It was a little evening gathering. She was a delicate daisy of about forty summers and as many hard winters. They were eating fruit and she re marked, as she delicately pared a peach. "The skin of a peach always sets my teeth on edge." Her little nephew who is sharp-cared and sharp-eyed, answered, "Well, Auntie, why don't you take your teeth out and lay them on the window-sill, like you did this morning?" Her appetite for fruit vanished. The boy will sit sideways on the bench when he goes to school next Monday." ( MRS. LYDIA E. PINKHAM. OF LYNN, MASS. DISCOVERER OP LYDIA E.

Its asserts exceed ?1.500,00U 00, with a large surplus, anct has for many years se cure 1 the larges* amoiiut of new business in Ohio of anyone company in the Uniied States. Its interest receipts exceed its death losses, matured endowments, taxes, and commission paid to spent*. Its able management is further iilni-trated by the fact that its rate of losses aud expenses to its premium income for tha year 1879, according to the New York official reports, is lower than that of any other company. It issues endowment policies at life rates, which aii- n jnforfeitahle without surrender an l iuc >u testible after three annual payments. It is governed by the insurance 'aw of Ohio which are now the most stringent fjr the protection of policy lioluers of any in tho Union. They re quire a four per cent, restive fund invented in unquestioned securities, which the Superintend ent of Insurance is required annually to ex amine.

THE BEST REMEDY FOE Diseases of tbe Throat and Lungs. J! YJT In diseases of the pul monarv organs a safe and reliable remedy is V invaluable. AYKR'S ry m -5] CHERRY PKC-TOKAL is A. such a retnetly, aud no othersoeniiuently mer lAfoj its the confidence of xO l ' ie P u^'c * ' s a sc '- entihe combination of dHFRRY the medicinal princi vnc.n.n.l ples aud cluative vir . « tues of the finest drugs, *»**>»»» chemically united, of 11MTj such power as to insure u—jjpy the greatest ]x>ssible § efficiency and uniform n T ity of results. It strikes ICAj A V/i\rlLi. a t the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take it readily. In ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca tarrh, the effects of AYKR'S CHERRY PEC TOKAI. are magical, and multitudes are an nually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every household for the pro tection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping-cough and Consumption there is 110 other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. Ixiu- prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, and are sure to deceive and disappoint the patient.

KIMBALL, K. ST. .TOHX, ■ Gen'l Superintendent. Geu'l Tkt. uud Pass'gr Act., Chicago, Hi WHY DOES a woman's health oQen break down at an early age? Put a man at the wish-tub, let him get heated from the hot suds until every pore is opened; then let him stand over the filthy steam that comes from scalding and boiling clothes, that are full of sweat and exhalations lrom the skin and his health too would break down before long; and yet this most terrible orueal is wlia* A WOMAN has to go through with on wash-day; and, besides, with her clothing wet from perspiring u the hot work, she has to risk her life by going out in the air to hang up the clothes. Even those not at work are in the unhealthy atmosphere; its smell, so apparent to visitors, show ing that it finds its way through the house,—the family, however, otteu becoming so accus tomed to the peculiar odor from its own wash as- not to notice it. These facts readily ex plain why so many women suffer with colds, rheumatism, weak nerves, or neuralgia, and LOOK OLD while yet young in years, and physicians and boards of health cannot draw attention too strongly to the injurious effects of the usual way of washing, with its necessary steam and scalding or boiling to get the clothes pure and sweet-smelling, especially; as it to without doubt often the direct cause of those dreadful diseases, diphtheria, consumption, and typhoid fever. Fortunately this trouble can be avoided; scalding, boiling, steam and all disagreeable smell from the wash completely done away with; clothes made sweet and beautifully white, from the saving in fuel the wash done at less cost than even when home-made soap u used, and very mucii SOONER THAN by the old way, by using FRANK SIDU.AXLS SOAP,-a Soap so purifying and cleansing that the dirtiest clothing can be washed in lukewarm water with very little rubbing, and clothes, bedding and utensils used by the sick disinfected and cleansed without either Maiding or boiling, while the work is so light that a girl twelve or thirteen yeaw of age can do a lame wash without being tired; and yet so mild and healing is this boap that for toilet and shaving it has no equal, and physicians advise its use in preference to imported Castile fcoap on wounds and sores, and to wash tne youngest infants, as well as for personsi with deLicate skin. Now that there Is a remedy for this, to economical that the poornt can use it, there is not a woman or A MAN who is not directlv interested in havinjr used in their homes, In «plte of prejudice, THAT WONDERFUL WAY OF WASHING CLOTHES, which does away with the haixl work, offensive smell and fearful steam on wash-days, makes the white pieces whiter, colored piecre brighter and flannels softer than they can be made by washing the old way, leaves the hands smooth enough to do fine sewing and every article as clean, as sweet and as pure as if never worn. From H. E. BOWT.ES. M. D., Hammonton, N. J., Editor South Jersey Republican. My attention was called to FRANK S TDD ALLS BOAP from an advertisement in my own paper, and its use In my house for nearly a year, according to the directions, has proved that its remarkable properties have not been overstated. For remov ing printing ink it la invaluable, while for toilet and shaving it is the best Soap 1 have ever seen. From MRS. H. L. KESVOS, Northfleld, Vt. I do my wash with FRAN K SIDDA LLS SO AP in tialf the time and with no expense fbr Soap, a» the taring in fuel mere them pays for it, I have no steam or scent from the wash, while the saving in health, clothes and labor can hardly be estimated. From E. W. STANTON, 1506 N. 20th St, Philada. We are confident, from a long experience In using and recommending FRANK SIDDA LLS SOAP, that one trial, according to the very easy printed directions, will overcome all prejudices. It also really has wonderful merit for shaving, toilet. The following are the Directions for Use, so simple that a child can understand them. Dont do anything so ridiculous as to buy the Soap unless you intend following them. *s-SIOO positively forfeited if it injure» the clothes, or will not do everything claimed. First, put the white clothes in a tub of water, only made warm enough g be comfortable for the hands. Then take one piece out at a time on the wash-board, rub the Soap lightly over it, roll it up and put it back into the same tub, and so on with each piece until all have the Soap rubbed on them. Then go away and let them soak at least twtjpty minutes, without touching them, when the dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbing on the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular to turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly on the wash board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Soap,) so as to get the dirty suds out. Then put through blue-water, and on the line, without scalding or boiling a single piece,; Afterward put flannels and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same way. It is important not to heat the wash-water in a tin, brass or copper kettle. A tea-kettle will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap. Just Think What You will Save by this Easy Way of Washing ! No Wash-boiler ! No Steam! No Smell of Suds through the House! It has the remarkable Property of keeping the Dish-Cloth, Wash-Rag and Sponge always Sweet, and of Washing Freely in Hard Water. -H'SOUI BY GROCERBr*- Get a Cake and Try it for Yourself next Wash-Day.
