Pectoral A PREACHER'S EXPERIENCE.
"Three months ago, I took a vio
lent cold which resulted in an attack
of acute bronchitis. I put myself
under medical treatment, and at the
end of two months was no better.
I found it very difficult to preach,
and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle gave me
great relief ; the second, which I am
now taking, has relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms,
and I feel sure that one or two bot
tles more will effect a permanent
cure. To all ministers suffering from
throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Brawlet,

fBY TBI AUTHORESS OF THE POEM ON THE LOCKS.)
Jlnch has been said about this little one,
Who is somebody's dnrlinir, somebody's sod;
Jint little he cares what the world thinks now,
Hut some time these thoughts will cloud his brow.
What's in a name? Some may declare
There's nothing In the name of Kenneth Clair.
Ah! who knows if the story was laid bare.
There may bo much la the name of Kenneth
Clair.
In future years when he signs his name,
Will the people pity, or will they blame,
Will they with him their sympathy share,
Because he knows no name but Kennth Clair?
Tis no wonder the ieojIe treat him right,
For a child like he is no common sight;
And he needs affection, and sometimes n prayer,
Bestowed on the little innocent Kenneth Ciair.
Twas night, and the winter winds blew cold,
When the little one said to be a day old,
Whs carried by hands, peihaps soft and fair, -Who
held the frail form ol Kenneth Clair.
Oh, were they heartless or were they so poor
That they started on a journey to some one's door,
To carry the child and some money to share,
With the parents who sent them with Kenneth
, Clair.
Or was It the father with his child to roam.
Went forth in t ie night to find him a home,
To hide the disgrace ne would have to share,
If he faced the world with Kenneth Clair.
Ah! greater your shame, you, who gave him
birth.
To leave him alone on this cold, cruel earth,
To battle for fame and its glories to share,
With no one to help him, your own Kenneth
Clair. .
In future years perhaps you may meet,
And your child will pass yon upon the street,
And he will not know you, and you wiU not dare
To call him jour child, your own Kenneth
Clair.
"Tis true there are a few who through this mys
tery see,
Bnt it is not you, and It surely is not me;
Vet there is ono above who our mysteries Bhare,
Xven greater than this one, that hangs o er
Kenneth Clair.
Thus far He has protected this little baby waif ;
Thus far He has kept him from all danger, safe.
1 erhaps to Him a mother has offered up a prayer
And asked Him to protect her babe, her darling
Kenneth Clair.

EVEN SILK IS ADULTERATED.
Tannate of Tin . and Silica to Give
It Weight.
Some improvements in the treatment
of silks are announced. Ordinarily silk
is "weighted" by depositing tannate of
tin on the fiber; the material receives
a bath of tannic acid and then another
cf perchloride of tin, a repetition of
this being made until an increase of
the weight amounts to from 15 to 20
per cent., beyond which it is not con
sidered safe to go in the case of silk
intended to be dyed light shades or to
be bleached. Recently a German invent
or has brought forward a process in
which, silica is the weighting agent.
In carrying out this method, says the
Detroit News-Tribune, three steps are
described. First, the silk, raw or in
any stage of manufacture, and either
before or after dyeing, is worked for
an hour in a bath of perchloride of
tin; then, after squeezing and wash
ing, it is worked in a warm solution of
water glass or soluble silicate of soda
for about an hour, followed by washing,
having also been previously passed
through a solution of phosphate of soda.
The operation may be repeated again
and again, with no harmful effect on
the fiber or on the subsequent dyeing,
and in five operations the silk may be
increased in weight some 100 to 120
Xer cent. The silk is now soaped, and,
if already dyed, is cleared in an emul
sion of olive oil and acid.
SAVED BY A WORD.
Enowledge of a Musical Term Proved
Useful to an American Abroad.
There are more advantages in a musi
cal education than most of us think,
remarks the Washington Post. A cer
tain physician here in town, who is
just home from Europe, says: "I
never appreciated the advantages of a
musical education until I went into a
barber shop in Italy. Nobody about
the place spoke a word of English. I
was stretched on a rack that passed as
a chair and swathed in a towel. The
barber made an impressionist sweep
from the upper cheek to the lower chin.
Gee whiz! how it hurt. My mouth
and eyes were full of lather; I didn't
know a word of Italian. I yelled. The
barber seemed to pause for a moment.
Perhaps he was gathering strength for
a new onslaught. You have heard that
a drowning man can think 50 years
in a second. I thought whole libraries
and dictionaries. Not a word of Ital
ian. The razor was raised again Sud
denly I remembered a word that I
had seen on my daughter's music, and
had asked the meaning of.
"Adagio! adagio!" 1 yelled. "D n
it! Adagio!"
"Si, signor," said the barber, and my
life was saved.
' DANGEROUS FIRE RISKS.
Insurance Companies Ask High Bates for
Some of Them.
The marine store business is a risk
which most companies prefer to avoid.
A dealer may ha ve stuff on Lis premises,
consisting of rags, old dresses, and the
like, which is probably worth several
thousands, yet the insurance companies
will refuse to insure the stock at any
price. In the case of an ordinary house
holder, most of these articles would be
insured without a demur as household
goods.
Lumber yards and sawmills are not
regarded by insurance companies with
a very favorable eye. The stock of a
lumber yard was once insured at a
moderate premium, but when a small
sawmill was built on one portion of the
premises, up went, insurance company
rates. Ov.-injr to the addition of the mill,
where the premium before was some
thing like $25, about $300 was required,
and tvis favor was only to be granted
on the strict condition that no timber
was to be stored within 15 feet of the
mill.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Ball's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. . Ball's 'Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
