UflTOLD CTiSERY FROM RHEUPATISIVI C. H. Sing, Water Valley, Kiss., cured by Acer's Sarsaparilla "For five years, I suffered untold misery from muscular rbeumatlsm. I tried every known remedy, cousuUed the test pliysi elans, visited Hot Springs, Ark.,tliree timi-s, spending Siooo there, besides doctors' 1:111s; 1ut could obtain only temporary rcliff. My flesh was wasted away so (hut I weighed only nlnety-tliree pounds; my left arm and leg were drawn out shape, t!:c muscles being twisted up in knots. I ws unable to dress myself, except with assistance, and could only bobble about by using a cane. I had no appetite, anil was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure relicl only by means of hypodermic Injec tions of morphine. 1 had my limbs bandaged In clay, in sulphur. In poultices; but these pave only temporary relief. After trying eYerything, and sulTering the most awful tortures, I began to take Aycr's Sarsapaiilla. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cano. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured. My weight has increased to ICS pounds, and I am now able to do my full day's work as a railroad blacksmith." The Only World's Fair Sarsaparllla. JLYISR'S PIIXS cure JBeadaehe. THE CHURCHES. AT THE BAPTIST CHUKCH. Tho sermon at the Baptist church, Rev. O. D, Taylor pastor, was from Phil. iii:9: "Not having mine own righteousness, but the righteousness of Christ, the righteousness that is of God by faith." The Savior often rebuked the self-righteousness of the Pharisee, and taught his disciples that except your righteousness exceed the righteous ness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter the kingdom of God. Paul, by birth a Hebrew of the Hebrews, and by education and belief a Pharisee of the Pharisees, until his con version depended upon the righteous ness which is of the law, or self righteousness. After his conversion we find him no longer trusting to the deeds of the law, but to the righteousness which lie describes in my text. Self righteousness Is offensive to God, be cause it assumes as unnecessary the sacrifice of Christ. This was illustrated by the Savior in tho parable of the mar: riage feast where came a man without the wedding garment. In response to the question, "Friend, how earnest thee in hither, not having on the wedding garment," the man was speechless, and he was cast out into outer darkness. This man's sins was not that he came to tho feast : on the contrary he did well to come, for he had been invited; but he insulted the king's eon by refusing to wear the weeding garment, which had been provided for every guest. So the man iusults God who trusts to bis own morality for justiacation, and thus re fuses the garment of Christ's righteous ness, in which to appear at the marriage supper of the Lamb. This doctrine of grace, while it is humbling to the fleeh, honors God, in that' it exalts Christ and gives all glory to him as the author of our salvation. ' It also places all on an equality before God and before Him their is neither Jew nor Greek, nor bar barian, Scythian, bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all. M. E. CHURCH. The morning sermon was an appeal to Christians to "Be strong in the Lord, and the power of His might ;" Eph. vi : 10. After the sermon one person was received into the church. The subject for the evening sermon was "Know Thyself," taken from the story of the prodigal son, Luke xv:17. Attention was called to the disastrous effect of not "knowing thyeelf," so com mon in the experience of men. We must know ourselves as creatures among creatures, that we may be humble and feel our dependence upon God. We should know ourselves as man among men, that we may know our fellowman aud perform our duty toward man in the fear of the Lord. By knowing our selves we may save much time, escape much sorrow, and save ourselves from eternal loss. Various agencies are em ployed in bringing man to himself, such as adversity in business life, physical affliction and loss of loved ones. The two special agencu-s are the preaching of the gospel and the influence of the divine spirit. The prodigal son came to himself after having wasted time, money and influence; yet in time to save himself.: ". " .v. ' : Mr. Bradley's Defense. . Mr. Darwin Bradley, mention of whose marriage to Mrs. Minnie Angel was made in The Chronicle a few days ago, called at the effice on Saturday, and de sires a few words said in palliation or explanation of his late matrimonial venture. While denying none of the essential facts as stated in the issue of March 10th, he deplores the coloring in which they are given, as leading to a wrongful interpretation, when not taken in connection with other points of the brief family history which led to tho marriage last week. Mr. Bradley says the divorce did not arise from any suspicion on the part cf Mr. Angel of unfaithfulness ; that there bad been domestic trouble for years be tween Mr. and Mrs. Angel, and the di vorce would have resulted if ehe had never known Bradley. The latter says that Mr. Angel and himself were always the best of friends, and are to this day. The Bradley family bad lived in another house, on the farm, for which he regu larly paid rent, and in that bouee Mrs. Bradley died. He Eays it is true he has been in hard circumstances, but that it was his intention to pay his obliga tions to the last dollar. He eays, also, that there has been a great deal of un founded talk, or gossip, concerning his relations with Mrs. Angel. He brands it all as falsehood, and resolved by mar rying Mrs. Angel and taking up his resi dence in The Dalles, to live down the bad name so gratuitously given him, in stead of running off to other fields. He did not become engaged to TMrs. Bradley until after the divorce was granted January 15th. The engagement was by letter, both agreeing that the best course to pursue in the matter was to become married and settle down in the commu nity where they had been defamed and live it down by a life of unimpeachable integrity. The marriage so soonr Mr. Bradley Eays, is by force of chance. When Mrs. Angel arrived from Silver ton her coming was in the interest cf getting two of her children, which the court allowed her the custody of. She did not appear in defense of the divorce suit, and Angel was granted the divorce by default. But after arriving, Bradley sought her, telling her of the scandalous talk going around concerning them, and, acting upon the advice of friends who recommended him to become married at once, ho urged her to do so. She agreed. Tho tale is told. Mr. Bradley hoped that he would be able to remain in The Dalies and make a living; but he is afraid the community has becomo so prejudiced they will not assist him by giving him employment in his profes sion, and thus possibly compelling him to go elsewhere to make a living.

He delivered about two death mes sages a clay, four birth messeges.a great many business messages, and once in a great while a love message that makes him tired to carry it. lie. carried one recently to a young man in town that read: , - . . - .

The answer went promptly back by the boy an cV was to this effect:1: am better, love." . lie once carried a mes sage of death to a colored woTnanr and after reading it hercmot'ori overcome her to such an extent that she caujrl.t the messenger in her arms nnd soundly boxed his ear's.

A "CLEAN" SHAVE. Precautions YVhlcli Might Be Adopted for the Safety of Customers. Nothing is easier than for contagion to be conveyed from a diseased to a healthy skin during the act of shav ing, and many cases have now been re corded, eays the Medical Press, prov ing that diseased processes -have in this manner been propagated. Probably the readiest manner available-to the barber for preventing such untoward occurrences would be by sterilizing his "instruments" by means of heat, either by steam -rr boiling water. Razors should be made so that their handles would not suffer from the exposure to high degrees of heat, and tbe rul-eshould beenforeed that in no case sbouldanyof the "instruments" be used consecutive ly without having first been submitted to the sterilizing process. Under this rule, then, each customer Would be sure of having a "clean" sha.ve in more senses than one. Of course, also, on the principle of a "fresh pot of tea for each customer," a freshly scalded-out lather pot should be included with each, shave. Unices these or similar pre cautions be carried out in barbers' shops, cases of the conveyance of in fectious skin diseases from customer to customer cannot fail to occur. Nature Sow Does What Men Have Long Tried In Vain to Do. Nature is doing for California vine yardists what they long and fruitlessly tried to do for themselves. It is re ported from many localities that the phylloxera, the most serious pest that has ever attacked the vines, is dying out. The experts have tried every remedy to stay the progress of this pest, but without avail, and six year ago the vineyardfsts of the Sonoma and Napa valleys plowed up all their vines and replanted the ground with resist ant stock. The experts believed that all non-resistant vines were doomed to destruction by the phylloxera. But rex'-orts have recently come to the stato inspector of orchard pests that a ma terial falling off in the ravages of the pest has been- noticed for some time. Vines ' once affected by it arc now al most free. The inspector has begun a thorough investigation of the pleas ing phenomena. lie thinks some nat ural enemy of tbe pest has appeared or that some deadly disease has at tacked the phylloxera and is extermin ating it. Whatever is the cause, the re sult will mean great gain for the vine yardists. A Pertinent Answer. An amusing correspondence recently took place between a Wisconsin farmer and a local boiler firm. The farmer wrote as follows: "Dere Swires I have a 1,000 akers of trees that 1 wantcut. Im pore but Im willing to pay too hundred dolers fer an engin that will do my work," nnd he went on to explain just what eort of nn engine he wanted. The boiler firm saw that the engine neces sary to accomplish the devastation of his virginal forest would cost $3,000, and they informed him to this effect. A week passed and then the. following pithy epistle came from the Wisconsin woods: Dere Sires what "n all git out wud I want of an engin or boiler if 1 bed $3,000?"
