It Trns that pnngont scent which re minds one ol the pine woods t nd aro matic Bhnilis of the tnonnlnins, and which, once smcllcd, brings to mind the greatest remedy of the age. It was evidently the fnmily closet, where rem edies for minor nehes and pains had found place for handy nse, anvl in mod crn years the greatest ol' tit these, known by i tft peculiar odoT. had worked its wonders for the happinesn of man kind, as Hie following examples attest: General G.

It, cured her, and prevented any rernrrence. Bhe has not had any re turn ol pain. I trust it niny reach the nttermost parts of the earth to prove as much a blessing in other homes as mine." Mr. Levi Hottcl, Corydon, Ind.. nmler date of June, lwi?7, writes: "In April, 1884, he had hit collar-bone broken, and it was very painful, lie used two bottles of SL Jacobs Oil. It got entirely well, and the remedy worked like n charm. No retnrn of pain, and used onty tho ono remedy. Mr. Arthur O. Lewis, editor Southrrn Society, Norfolk, Va., June 37. 1B,M7, writes: "Nothing I can say with re gard to St. Jacobs Oil will do it justice: have used it for a number of years foi all aches and pains, with effects almost mnrvelons, and for such, in my opinion, it is nnsnrpns'ed." Mr. Chateau Bixon 200 Spruce street, Philadelphia, Pn., un der date of February 4, 1SS7, says: "Have used St. Jacobs Oil ih my family for ten years; two years ago broke my leg; pnins very severe. It cnrwl the pains and gave strength to my leg. If you desire to publiult this, I will be pleased." ARE THEYHUMAN? A CHAPTER OP CRUELTIE3.

Mr. Douglass makes n atndy of tho casoaol croelty hojdiBcoX5ta.tbrouch out the State, and having a ktnillr heart for tho brute creation, telfa some terrible talcs of man's brutal ity to beast. "You run across a pool mnny cases of cruelty, don't you, outside of the large cities?" "Why, yes, you'd n sslonishcri at the number of cases I firri. Tho honest farmer in about ns cruel as the man in town, and then he'w away where he thinks nobody will see him or know anything ubo'it it. For intanre, in Alien t'o''t!v, r man trii'd to induce a boy thirteen years of age to go oat ax:d steal some corn. Tlio little fellow re fused, and eo the man resolved to punish him. He tied him up by his thumbs, and, hiving bin b.telc bare to his waist, wh'.pjnd him nntil the blood run. A dauli'er, younger, for a Rliht ofi't-nse, uas treated in the same wav." "And where was tho mother'." "Why, stan ling by, encou-u'ing nil this brutality. "Another case in tho same county was one of horrible b-ui:ility. A dog was saturated with ben.ne. set on fire and started tlrough thcalleyH and cross lots of Lima. FKKDINO (lEESt: nOT IKON. "In another part of the State, ?. blacksmith, who had been nnnoyvd by a flnrk of geese entering his simp, resolved to fix them, thornrh he could easily have put up a board and shut them out ; but no. lie devised a scheme ehokful of dcvilishness. lie heated a rod of iron red Lot, and, chopping oil' pieces the sixe of ker neis of corn, threw them out whre the geese wore. They, mistaking them for corn, swallowed them, and the wholo flock perished. Tho iron fairly burned holes through thorn. TEARING OCT A nORSE's T0NGU2. "In a fntminc conrrlv in the into. r'.or of tlio State, a farmer, who owned a balky horse, tried every way to euro him. Ho smeared lii's bands with oil of cumin, said charms, whip!rc 1 in his ear, tied n rope to his tail and passed It through his hind anil fo"- legs, but all of no avail. lie then determined on a method of hifi own invention, tint for sheer brutality almost heads tlio list, lie tied a stout cord, the size of my little finger, slip-noose fash ion to the root of tho horse's tongue, and literally tore it oat. Of course the horse would have to be killed, as he could not eat. "Then I have thoe cases to re port of inon lying chains to horses' lowor jaws and tearing them off." rr stopced i:ni,LowiNO. "Cutling out tongues is a favorite amnoement with some people?" "Yok, a favorite mode of torture. At Wapakonetri, Auglaiw County, a butcher brought in & calf from "tho countrv. and tied it an in a stall to bo filauchtorcd early in the morning. The orphaned calf missed ita mother, and was hungry, and called loudly for something to eat during the night, as only a stout, hoarty two months' old calf can. The butcher's swoet sleep was disturbed, and, ri.v inp from bis bed Iir rushed out. seized a sharp knifo, and, getting hold of the poor crcaturo's tongue, cut it clear off." MKDICIXr FOn A CUICK3N-KATINO SOW. "Pics aro not often treated an kindlv, arc they?" "Not!" Woll, up In Madison Connlv, a certain old bow had a de cided fondness for spring chickens, not old hens, and one dav a few young chicks rtrayine into her pen, she made a square meal. Tho wor thy farmer ran into the house, heated a poker red-hot, and put out both tier eyes." MEAN FARMERS. "You find some pretty mean farm ers then?" "Up in Putnam County was a man so mean that he wouldn't give his stock even pasturage. In one season he lost cixty head of cattle. lie was rich, so there was no excuse. One of his acts of cruelty was having turneil a nock of sheepuitoa pasture completely run down, containing nothing but cockle-burs and Canada thistles, and two of the sheep, a lit tle more foolish, as h turned out, than tho rest, jumped over into his vegetable garden to get something green. That was enough ; the farm er's mad was now up, and he hitched the two sheep together, ;yokcd them up and turned them loose. They wandered off into the woods, and got entangled. One of them was found dead, its flesh devoured bv the bur.zards, while beside its blcaehing bones lay tho other, nearly dead, Rtid partially devoured." "Didn't they punish such a Gend as this?" "Yes, he was arrested and brought before the Common Pleas Court, but he got out of it somehow; yet public indignation was so great that lie was compelled to Fall out and clear out movo to another State. CRUEL BOYS MA ICC CK17KL MEN. "In Ilcnrv Conntv a voung man only twenty-four was hung for mur- I dering a man and his wife, with an ; ax, about a year ago. When a Iwy i it was his delight to torture animals. He boiled cats and dogs in his , mother's washboiler, and frequently ! held the poor creature over un:B nntil they were burned to deal!). He appeared to delight in their ag onies. "Another caao that well illustrates this principle : The party was noted for his cruelty as a boy, and one of kis fevorit? occupations in winter, was plucking the last feather out of s afcicicn, and on tha coldest day turning it ctH in tivo cld to se hov long it wouldli79. This luxu wan Lately oa Vrial ku poisoning lux yifa." "Where the Difference Lay. " Yoa ouht not to call your Trift c dnch," arid Jcnea to Urown. "And pray, why not?" " Well, because there's a difTerencs between ycur wife and a duck." "What in it?" " Why. your wifs is generally flressed to kill, srhilcduci: b Hillot to dress. Eh, boy?" Goxrverfintlou. "The power to converse well if a Very great charm," said KuBkin. "You think anybody can talk? How mistaken you are! Anybody can chatter. Anybody can exchange idle gossip. Anybody can recapitu late the troubles of the kitchen, tho cost of the last hcw dreas, end tho probable doings of the eeighbors. Hut to talk widely, instructively, freshly, and delightfully is an ira- m?nse accomplishment. It implies j exertion, observataon, study of books and people, and receptivity of im pression." Plato banished tho musicians from his feasts that tho charms of conversation might have ; no interference, bi't in our later fashions many prefer music rather ' than the gossip of the hour which often degenerates into trivialities, wearisome and common' place. As a mirror reflects the face, so conversation reveals the mind, and j Dr. Johnson said he could tell just . how much a man knew u he could hear him talk for a while. The Current. "The TVcitrlnc of the (Jretn." Women with doubtful or unfortu nate complexions must hasten to adopt or invent a cosmetic, pint, or enamel with which to enable them to wear green. Yes, plain, honest, unmitigated, verdant green is to be the fashionable color for dinner and bull dresses. Qncen Margherita, of Italy. 1ms worn it. The Qnecn of : the I'elgiuns nnd her sister in-law, the ( ountesB of landers, appeared in green at tho last lsrnsseis court ball. The best Parisian dressmakers are sending out dream like costumes in that trying and long-discarded color. Yellow green and bright green straw hats are tho most amaring novelties in head covering. They aro intended as companions for white I suits, nnd, given a pretty girl to wear them, they will be r ally charming. Phrenological Item. Mrs. Randell Wrag is not the best educated woman in Austin but that doeB not in the least hinder her from i expressing herself fully on any topic, I no mntter what it may be. She was having her head examined by a ; phrenologist. j " You have philoprogenitiveness ' strongly developed." "You bet I have. Nobody -over said anything mean about me but I was sure to get even with them sooner or later. That's just the kind of a woman I am. You have hit it first pop." An CxrurperateA Hastmn. Colonel Terry Yerger, having re turned home unexpectedly from his plarc of business, fouud Mrs. Yerger and his clerk sitting together on the sofa, whereupon Colonel Yerger Btnmped around and behaved so rudely that tho clerk pot mad and left the house, at which the exasper ated husband Ihns vented his j-age on his unfortunate wife. " Now, madam, this is the fifth or Bixth time I have caught yon sitting on the sofa with your arms around the neck of that clerk. I tell you now, for the last time, if it happens again I'll dock hiB wages." Only Six Month?! Dend. A Hungarian pensant went to a Munich painter and asked him to paint the portrait of his mother. " Certainly," said the painter; " send her to me." "But sho is dead ; if she was alive I wouldn't want hor portrait." " Well, havo von any picture of her? " " No; if I had I wouldn't want one." " Well, my friend, describe her to me; what sort of eyes, hair, etc." He secured that, and appealing to his artist friends who had some Ilnngarian studies, he painted a head. Secreting his friends about the room he sent for the peasant. The man came, looked at ttie picture, his eyes filled with tears, ho put up his hand to wine them away. " Poor fellow," said tho artist, patting him on tho back ; " it is a good likeness then, it affects you so much?" "No," said the man; "poor mother to think sho has been onlv dead six months and looks like that!" A IXonnon Family Circle. Lorenzo Snow, one of tho high counselors, having reached the ad i vanccd age of three score years and ten, decided to have a family reunion, j antl, considering that he had a No. i i wiftt with two daughters, No. 2 with one daughter and two sons, No. 3 with two daughters and threo sons, i No. 4 with three daughters and two sons, No. 5 with six daughters and . two sons, No. 6 with two daughters and one son, No. 7 with three ' dauehtcrs and three sons, No. 8 with ' two daughters and three sons, No. 9 . with two daughters and one son, making in all twenty-three daughters j and nineteen sons, he had a pretty ; good-sized family to asscmblo about t him. There were in all 1G4 im- j mediate descendants to sit around j the family lioard, and to give them ' all a dinner it took threa days. This , old raau is well preserved, reads tho j finest print without glasses, aud only lost by death twenty-three of j his numerous- family, including somo of the wives.

Paralysis )md apoplexy am the two evils that stare bnainoss men in the face, and when they fall vic tims they are difficult to treat on co count of the tenacity with which h7 cling to their old habit. It seetui to be the rule of a business man's life never to let go any of the details of his affairs. One of my xiany pa tients in the dry goods "district, it man of nearly sixtj'-fivo yeara ami of ample fortune, must go to his itora every day of his life at the accus tomed hour, otcr though he is obliged to take a man aurse with him.

Ab f.tr as mv own opinion is concerned, I con sider any profession more healthful to a hardworking man than busi ness." Toledo Blade. A Xllnt to the tilrla. There are more chances of makln; a passable husband ont of a fool or a etank than out cf a drunkard or Ticions person. The fool, K not too egotistical, or too silly for anything at all. can usually be led, coaxed, or driven, but the virions person can not. The woman who undertakes to reform a man in order to get a hus band has undertaken a task that ia not successfully accomplished one time in a thousand. In the first place, a man who needs to be re formed before ho is a fit companion is lacking in somo of the elomcnta which are necessary in tho make-up of even an average man-.- ThoPolar Bear ami the fJanrlrot. A polar bear one day remarked to his family, as ho stopped out ef his ico cabin : " Well, 1 must go and hnnt up anothor survivor. There's noth ing left of -tho last one bnt the left flank and a fow spare ribs. They are getting rather stingy down Eonth". They don't send us survivors enough to ifiako up real swell dinners lor Thanksgiving Day and Christmas." Altera short walk, the polar bar found a half-starred survivor sittinff on a chunk of ice and Innching on n eupcrannuated pair of brogan shoes. " Well, yon are r. survivor of the last Arctic expedition," remarked tho hear. "Now yoa come Bp herein erdor to be hunted np and advertised, but yon'll find that it caVl be made to pay. If you had stayed at home, you could have had yonrself hunted np by stealing a mnle, and yon might have been advertised lo your heart's content by rnnning for office. ITow, ttiis is a poor country for a sensible man to settle in. It won't sprou blark-cyo peas, and if Ton slay here vou'll be patching a poor man's breeches as long as you live. I ad vise you to go home; hut I nover rive advice free. You must pay for this, and I shall now proccod to col lect my fee." Then thepolar bear seized the survivor, carried him home and ate him for suppor. Moral. The intrinsic excellence of good counsel often dijpiifies its obscure course, and the walrus and the polar bear are perhaps intellect ually competent to advise sonm of tho north pole pilgrims. From Life. Character on the OnUIdonf a Booh. A well-bound book will open easily and will close firmly. While reading it will not be necessary te pree the covers brick, and when laid down they will not gajn? apart. It will he neither stiff as cast iron and heavy, with beveled edges, nor limp, though fashion at present requires it to he cither one or the other. A good binding is clastic; it will vield, but it will return to its pla . if covered with full crushed morocco, which makes the finest and best covering, the polishing of the leather will be a great test of the binder's care and taste. Levant morroco come witli a large grain, and if left ho i eanily damaged or torn. It should there fore be cr .shed with the "polisher," a large burni-hing tool, and the whole appearance of the book depends oa how this crushing is done. It may be so slight as to he of little service, and to lok more like the result of ac cident th.in of design, or it may be carried so far that tho desirable va riety of texture is quite Inst, or it may bn uneven, Fpotty, and slovenly. The gilt tooling and lettering should, in modern books, be ne-t and sharp. Tho ornamental tooling, which is done with small stamps, called irons, though now universally cngravod in brass, may be so arranged as to form very pretty patterns or the reverse. It follows that a book may have as much character in its outside appear ance as its inside, and very often it has more substance. Like every thing that is dono by hand, it may be Tulgar or quiet, coarso or elegant, flimsy or substantial. There is no sort of hand work that docs not riso at times to the dignity of a fine art, and bookbinding ie certainly no exception. 1 M1 i .Lands. in
