There, is no medicine so often needed in every home and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended, as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week passes but some member of the family has need of it. A toothache or headache may be cared by it. A touch of rhenmatisiu or neuralgia quieted. The severe pain of a burn or scald promptly relieved' and the sore healed in . much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflamation sets in, which insures a cure in about one third of the time otherwise required. Cats and bruises should receive im mediate'treatment before the parts be come swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore throat may be cured before it be comes serious. A troublesome corn may be removed by applying it twice a day for a week or two.' A lame back may, be cured and several days of valuable time saved or a pain in the side or chest re lieved without paying a doctor bill. Pro cure a ou cent oottie at once and you will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley .& Houghton Druggists. Elder Berry Did the natives of Cen tral Africa give you a warm reception?

It Differs Materially-from That of Hol land. " The "Afrikaansche Taal" is not the Dutch of modern Holland. In its ori gin it represents the old Dutch of the country districts in the Netherlands, together with a tendency toward the Flemish dialect. ' It has incorporated a great deal of English and a little French, says the Fortnightly Review Above all, its pronunciation is quite different to that of the classic Dutch, and it lends itself much more readily to English tongues and palates. It is almost impossible for a Dutchman of Holland, on arriving1 in South Africa, to understand the native Dutch dialect. Words are gTeatly clipped, and, al though the abominable guttural "g'i is still retained, the- equally fatiguing Dutch pronunciation of "s-c-h" is hap pily changed into a simple "sk." The vowels are pronounced almost as .they would be by an Englishman. For in stance, "beest" is . pronounced J like "beast," not like "baste," as. it would be in Holland. A Cape Dutchman talks of "De Beers;" he does not 'pronounce it "De Bares," as the real Dutchman would doc Needless to say, the "Afri- kaa.nsch.e- Taal" has no literature be hind it, and all the best things -written in. Holland have either made their ap pearance , in Latin, French, or even English, or have rapidly been translated into those languages if intended to be widely read. The adoption, therefore. of the English language throughout aouth Africa is a necessity forced on that community by commerce, manu factures, c mining enterprise, and all dealings with the outer world. As a matter of fact, a young Boer will learn English as quickly as a raw Scotchman would exchange his harsh dialect for the incisive, clear, quick speech of southern England.. EARLY USE OF OXEN. They Preceded the .Horse in Agricultural I.abor. The help which our bovine servants render us by the power which they exert in traction, as in drawing1 plows, sleds or wagons, appears to have been first rendered long after their introduc tion to the ways of man. The first of these uses in which ' the drawing strength of these animals was made serviceable appears to have been in the work of plowing. "In primitive days and with primitive tools, hand delving was a sore task. The inventive genius who first con trived to overturn the earth by means of the forked limb of a tree, shaped in the semblance of a plow and drawn by oxen, began a great revolution in the art of agriculture. To this unknown genius wc may award a place among the benefactors of mankind, quite as distinguished as that which is occupied by the equally unknown inventors of the arts of making fires or of smelting ores. After tne experience with the strength of oxen had been won ' from the work of plowing it was easy to pass to the other gTades of their employ ment where they were made to draw carriages. Next after the contribution which the kindred of the bulls have made by their strength we must set that which has come from their milk. Although this substance can be obtained in small quantities from several other domestic ated animals, the species of the genus Bos alone have yielded it in sufficient quantities greatly to affect the develop ment of man. It is difficult to measure thc importance of the addition to the diet, both of savage and civilized peo ple, which milk affords. It is a fact well known to physiologists that in its simple form this substance is a com plete food, capable when taken alone of sustaining life and insuring a- full de velopment of the body. WHAT A - FLIRT IS. A Word Which Has a Queer English Derivation. , I remember a long time ago hearing a singular definition of a term very well understood by most of us, given by an old Scotchman, who spoke- with a strong accent: "What's a flirt?" said he. "A man who proposes and is re fused." How he came to be in such a state of benighted ignorance is more than I can say, but so it was, and I am reminded of the story by seeing' in a book that the verb "to flirt" means "to move to and fro with a pert motion, as, to flirt a fan." The fan being used for coquetting, those who coquetted were' called "fan flirts." Lady Frances Shel ley introduced the word. While on this subject, says a writer in the New York Journal, I should like to mention, as the result of observa tion, that flirts are born, not made, and that unless the 'faculty comes by nature, it is not very much use to try and acquire it, because not only does the effort recall sometimes the a tempted gambols of a cow, which only draw attention to the natural hear i ness and solemnity of the , animal, but it is as likely as not that in putting on a manner and ways : that are not con sonant witn one s temperament, one may mane niaeous mistakes, just as when a very shy person tries to be cool" and assured in, bearing it happens often that the coolness seems like rudeness, and the assurance like inso lence. I don't believe we can really alter our natural selves even external ly, any more than we can change our physical appearance much without its being' found put. It is the "ass in the lion's skin," after all. Very Palatable. The Mexicans have a way of making' a kind of hot bread, called tortillas. that is quite appetizing, to a hungry man. The cooking utensils used in the making of it are simple in the ex treme, consisting merely of a smooth, flat stone about two feet long and a thin plate of iron. On. the stone is placed a mass of corn that has been thoroughly soaked in alkali. This .is mashed until it becomes a smooth paste. It is, then taken up in small handfuls, patted into thin cakes and seasoned with cayenne pepper, after which each cake is wrapped in . a leaf of corn and. placed .on. the -hot iron plate to bake over a hot fire. , Mexican Mustang Liniment for Burns, i f ' Caked & Inflamed Udders.
