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

THE BOER LANGUAGE. .
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. ,
