HOW BO YOJJ DO
when you buy 6hoes or clothing ?
Don't you go to the place (if you
an find it) where they tefll you that
you may wear the articles out, and
then, if you're not satisfied, they'll
refund the money? Why not do
the same when you buy medicine?
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is sold on that plan. It's
the only blood - purifier so certain
and effective that it can be guar
anteed to benefit or cure, in every
case, or you have your money back.
It's not like the ordinary spring
medicines or sarsaparillas. All the
year round, it cleanses, builds up,
and invigorates the system. If
you're bilious, run-down, or dys
peptic, or have any blood -taint,
nothing can equal it as a remedy.
The worst cases of Chronic
Catarrh in the Head, yield to
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
So certain is it that its mak
ers offer $500 reward for an
incurable case.

The traveler who walks in the native
quarters of the cities of India can easily
study there all industries in their be
Xinnings, as they were probably prac
tised in Europe in the middle afjes.
The shops arc usually open and the
workmen can be seen inside; textile in
dustries, pottery, shoe mailing1, joiner-ang-,
armoring-, jewelry, confectioners
all can be observed ia a sirp-io street,
like Chitpore street, Calcutta. If we

or group of columns, with entablature
still perfect, rises in stately grace far
over the wretched huts, the rich, creamy
color of the limestone and the beauti

with the clear blue of tho cloudless sky.
The best view of the whole is to ba ob
tained from the roof of the naos, which,
once beautiful and adorned with
sculpture, is now all battered and de
faced, and has been metamorphosed into
a squalid little mosque. To describe
the view, from that roof were indeed a
hopeless task. High into the clear blue
air and the golden sunshine rise the
stately columns; crowded, and jumbled,
and heaped together -below, untouched
by the gladdening sunbeams, unfresh-
. ened by the pv;re, free air, lies all the
squalor and wretchedness of an Arab
nad-hut village. -.

T. Tayloe, Agt. for Grangers of Ga.
Led by tlie Wiles of an Aleutian Island
Maiden to Forsake His Wife and Conn
try A Touching Story of L.ife .
in the North.
Maj'. S. E. 2?ettleto"n, who was two
years United States special treasury
agent at the Pribjdov islands, or Seal
islands as they are sometimes called,
was a close observer of the customs of
the Aleutians, and relates many inter
esting anecdotes of his sojourn there,
says the St. Louis Republic. - ' ,
"In the far away Pribylov islands
there is a little convent devoted to a
nameless religion,"' said Maj. Nettle
ton. "It has only one occupant, whom
the natives call Kchatka, the Aleutian
nun. She worships no invisible divin
ity and has no theoretical doctrines,
but she teaches her people that if they
livsjionestly and relieve the sick and
unfortunate they will be rewarded.
"Years ago, when the islands were
the property of Kussia, a Russian
trader came to the islands to exchange
his merchandise for sealskins and the
fur of .the s ilver gray fox. He fell in
love with an A.leutian maiden, the.
belle of the island, and in the due
course of time they were'- married.
The trader and his dusky wife made
many voyages between the island and
Russian- ports, but one day they were
brought from their ship to one of the
Alaska Commercial company's huts,
both very ill with a terrible fever.
With them were two little twin girls,
whose exuberant health and- spirits
were a sad contrast to the condition of
their parents. The next day their
mother died. Her husband was at the
point of death, but when his dying
wife was brought to his bedside and
asked him to give their children to her
parents he feebly assented. When the
funeral of his wife was taking place
he too died, and the two little orphans
were removed to the home of their
grandmother.
"Their lives were uneventful until
they reached the age of sixteen.
Neither had been to school, and they
knew nothing of the outside world, ex
cept what they remembered of the
fairy tales told to amuse their child
hood fancies. About this time the
1 ."111 ted States purchased Alaska and
sent a young professor from one of the
leading eastern universities to the
island on a scientilic expedition. The
trip was an arduous one, and he left
his j'oung wife at home with her rela
tives. Securing the data and statistics
for which he was sent in a few days,
time hung heavihy on his hands, and
the young savant undertook the task
of instructing the beautiful but illiter
ate sisters. Kchatka was an apt pupil,
quailing eagerly . from the Pierian
spring, out her sister, although quite
as bright, seemed to be much more in
terested in her tutor than she was in
her grammar or arithmetic. The at
traction was mutual, and when- a ship
came on whicli the young professor
might have returned home he wrote to
,his wife that he was unexpectedly de
tained and could not come home for
another three months. The arrivals of
ships at the islands were few and far
between, and the next mail brought a
letter imploring him to return home,
as his wife was at the point of death.
It so happened that one of the Alaska
Commercial company's schooners was
to sail for San Francisco the following
day. The young professor resolutely
went 01 board, bribing the boatmen to
refuse to bring his Aleutian sweetheart
to the schooner should she a,sk them to
do so.
"The schooner lay fully a mile from
the shore, and the sailors were already
in the tall masts spreading the canvas
preparatory to departure, when one of
them caught sight of a woman swim
ming in the water. She came on board
and implored the young man to aban
don his idea of returning home, or to
stay at least until the next ship. Her
knowledge of English was limited-, but
as she kuelt before him on the deck of
the ship, her dark eyes pleading more
eloquently than words, he decided to
forsake his invalid wife and spend his
days with his Aleutian love.
"He returned to the island and en
deavored to forget the woman whom
he had promised to love and cherish,
who, lying at the dark portals of death,
was longing for a parting kiss or a last
embrace before she died. The mail
which next reached the islands in
formed him that his wife wns dead;
that she died" with his name on her
lips, and that her last intelligible utter
ance was a hope that he would meet
her in the better land.
"He read the letter apd fell to the
floor unconscious. Fully two months
of faithful nursing saved him from
dying of brain fever. Wjjen he was
well enough to return home he mar
ried his Aleutian sweetheart. Kchatka,
her sister, refused to leave the islands.
During the epidemic of smallpox,
which nearly depopulated . the islands
a few years ago. she was. one of the
very few who did not take the disease,
although she was constantly at the
bedside of the sufferers. The simple
natives say that the Great Spirit re
fused to spoil her beauty, that she
might shine as an angel of light among
them and teach the road to the Aleu
tian heaven, where seals are plenty and
it is never cold."
The total number of new enterprises
organized in the south during the last
quarter of 1893 was 436, while for the
first three months of this year the total
was 602, an increase of 226. This num
ber is larger than during any quarter of
1893 except the first, which showed
considerable activity prior to the gen
eral depression that came on last
spring. Manufacturers' Record.
