One of the homeliest men in Detroit has a beantiful little girl about 5 5 years old. The other day she was sitting on his lap with a handglass before her. She looked at her father a moment, then logked at herself and turned to her moth- er. : “Mamma, she inguirea, me?” “Yes, daughter.” “Did he make papa, too?” “Yes.” Then she took another look in the glass at herself. “Well,” she said, thoughtfully, “he’s doing a great deal better work lately. isn’t he?” did God make eee erie An honest Swede tells his story in plain but unmistakable language for the ben- efit of the public. “One of my children took a severe cold and got the croup. I gave her ateaspoonful of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and in five minutes later I gave her one more. By this time she had to cough. up the gathering in her throat. Then she went to sleep and slept good for fifteen minutes. Then she got up and vomited; then she went back to bed and slept good for the remainder of the night. She got the croup the second night and I gave her the same remedy with the same good results. I write this because I thought there might be some one in the same need and not know the true merit of this wonderful medicine.” CHARLES A.

So ————— Salt as a Remedy, “1 have a cheap and safe remedy for smallpox.” said a medical man to ithe Pittsburg Dispatch. ‘My father was a physician before me, and he used it suc- cessfully. It is sure, too, in cholera and yellow fever. It isa very simple article —nne you have all used from childhood. It is salt—common, plain, every- day salt.

We recently published a strongly com- mendatory notice of “‘Alden’s Cyclopedia of History.” In the interest of our read- ers we wish to repeat and emphasize what we said. A good Universal History ought to be in every home; this is certain- dy excellent, if not the very best for gen- eral use and reference ever published, covering all nations (except the United States, to be published separately) and from B. ¢. 5004 to A. p. 1899. Certainly it is the cheapest historical work we have ever seen; but that is what readers gen- erally. will expect from Mr. Alden, who has done so much to place the highest class of literature within popular reach. To get such a vast amount of matter with- in such small compass the type used is necessarily small, but it is beautifully clear, and the paper, printing and bind- ing are of the best. Send 10 cents to Mr. Alden and he will send you a sample vol- ume of 160 pages. containing the history vou ean judge for yourself whether yot want the entire work. : His “catalogué of choice books; 128 nages, sent post-paid for 2 cents, presents a wonderful feast for book ‘lovers.
