PLAGUE-STRICKEN PLYMOUTH I Does a Similar Danger Threaten JBveryone of Us V How Public Attention it Directed to Pergonal Perili. Rochester 21, Y.fCorrespondenoe I ndlanapolls Sentinel. "Judge," said a young lawyer to a very successful senior, " tell me the secret of your uniform success at the bar." "Ah, j'oung man, that secret is a life study, but I will give it to you on con dition that you pay all my bills during this session of court." "Agreed, sir," said the junior. "Evidence, indisputable evidence." At the end of the month the Judge reminded the young man f his promise. "I recall no such promise." "Ah, bit you made it." "Your evidence, please." And the judge, not having any wit nesses, lost a case for once ! The man who can produce indis putable evidence wins public favor. I v had an interview yesterday with the most successful of American adver tisers, whose advertising is most suc cessful because always backed by evidence. "Wha styles of advertising do you use?" I asked II. II. Warner, Esq. "Display, reading matter and para graphs of testimonials." "Have you many testimonials?" In answer he showed me a large cabinet chock-full. "We have enough to fill Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Philadelphia morning papers." "Do you publish many of them?" "Xot a tithe. Wonderful as are thos we do publish, we have thousands like them which we cannot use. 'Why net?' Let me tell you. 'Warner's safe cure' has probably been the most suc cessful medicine for female disorders ever discovered. We have testimonials from ladies of the highest rank, but it would be indelicate to publish them. Likewise many statesmen, lawyers, clergj-men, doctors of world-wide fame have "been cured, but we can only refer to such persons in the most guarded terms, as we do in our reading articles." "Are these reading articles success ful?" "When read they make such an im pression that when the 'evil days' of ill health draw nigh they are remembered, and Warner's safe cure is used." "Xo, sir, it is not necessary now, as at first, to do such constant and exten sive advertising. A meritorious medi cine sells itself after its merits are known. We present just evidence enough to disarm skeptics and to im press the merits of the remedies upon new consumers. We feel it to be our duty to do this. Hence, best to accom plish our mission of healing the sick, we have to use the reading-article style. People won't read plain testamonials." " Yes sir, thousands admit that had they not learned of Warner's safe cure through this clever style they would still be ailing and still impoverishing themselves in fees to unsuccessful 'practitioners.' It would do your soul good to read the letters of thanksgiv ing we get from mothers grateful for the perfect success which attends War ner's safe cure when used for children, and the surprised gratification with which men and women of older years and impaired vigor, testify to the youthful feelings restored to them by the same means." " Are these good effects permanent? " " Of all the cases of kidney, liver uri nary and female diseases we have cured, not two per cent of them report a re turn of their disorders. Who else can show such a record? " " What is the secret of Warner's safe cure permanently reaching so many serious disorders?" "I will explain by an illustration : The little town of Plymouth, Pa., has been plague-stricken for several months because its water supply was carelessly poisoned. The kidney and liver are the sources of physical well-being. If polluted by disease, all the blood be comes poisoned and every organ is affected and this great danger threatens every one, who neglects to treat himself promptly. I was nearly dead myself of extreme kidney disease, but what is now Warner's safe cure cured me, and I know it is the only remedy in the u orld that can cure such disorders, for I tried everything else in vain. Cured by it myself, I bought it and, from a sense of duty, presented it to the world Only by restoring the kidneys and liver can disease leave the blood and system." A celebrated sanitarian phvsician once said to me. "The secret of the wonderful success of Warner's safe cure is that it is sovereign over all kid ney, liver and urinary diseases, which primarily or secondarily make up the majority of human ailments. Like all great discoveries it is remarkably simple. The house of II. H. Warner & Co. stands deservedly high in Rochester, and it is certainly matter of congratu lation that merit has been recognized all over the world, and that this suc cess has been unqualifiedly deserved.

President Eliot says that, without special extravagance or fast living in any way, a Harvard student can easily spend 800 a year, and some get r'.d of much more. A calculat'on of the average expense at twenty-five of the principal colleges, according to the statements of their respective catalogues as to price of board, tuition, and gen eral expenses, shows that it is a trifle over .."00. An average college educa tion, then, costs .$.r00 a year, or $2,000. Ofeour.se, the thing can be done for less than this.

A WOMAN'S BEST FACULTY. Provided by an All-Wise Providence with Kye that See Enough to Keep Her Toucue Continually Buiy. As a rapid and exhaustive observer woman outshines man more than the beauty and glory of day at high twelve surpasses the kicker of a brimstone match. With one little bat of her eye a woman can see things to which man. with all his boasted discernment, re mains forever blind. The focusing ma chinery in the visionary department of her mechanism is always in gear, ana operates with lightning precision with out hitch or lnclion. rue ner in a cannon and shoot her through a millin- erv store, and if she survives the shock to her nerves, she can tell you with a precision that seems phenomenal the exact shade of every ribbon and the net amount of torture to non-posessors represented by every specimen of male distraction in the entire concern. Send her aloft in a balloon when the w'nd is careering over the city with the speed of a vounp man running through an hereditary fortune, and she can tell you the contents of every clothes-line in town, without stopping to catch her breath. Put her in a sleigh behind a runaway team, if you are obliged to know the color of every man's eyes both s!des of the street, and have to know it quick. If you are to have a fashion report in fifteen minutes that would take you three weeks to prepare, send the dear creature to church. If vou want to know anvthing that can be seen, shut vour eves and tell vour wife to look. V ith one corner of her eve she will see more in the fragment of an instant than you could discern in two weeks with a held glass. For breadth, scope and accuracy. the amount of observation she can grasp with a single wink makes a Gov ernment survey seem contracted and deficient. Prof. Proctor himself owns up that his daughter can see and salt down more in tne butt ena oi a seeona without specks oa, than he can behold with a telescope in a good long astron omical spell, and he always wauts her handy during an eclipse or transit to nail such phenomena as may happen to get away from him. A Chicago man vent to Washington to witness the inauguration and give tho nw administration the benefit of his experience in tight corners, and by some unaccountable freak of conduct he took his wife along with him. He is a man of reasonable veracity, and whenever he swears to a thing you can put it down as coming sufficiently near the truth to answer an orainary pur poses. On returning home, with con siderable more exicrience and a good deal less money, he appeared before somebody and depoed that out of all the v.t ocean of female paraphernalia, military grandeur, and so on, gathered in the Capital on that brilliant oceaon. not one thing escaped the clinching gaze of that blue-eved little woman. and that a minute description of every thing with ribbons and ruffles is snugly pigeon-holed between her ears somewhere, for he overheard her telling another woman or two all about them after the return, with a cogency and conciseness that made him feel as though he had been blind from birth. lie avows that he kept his eyes at ful cock during their entire stay, and did h;s best to obtain at least a moderated retentive squ nt of evervlh'ng in sight. while his wife just stood around and growled about her tight shoes, .her headache, encroaching corset, and oth er female peculiarities, without seeming to care a button-hook for anything or anybody, or even appearing to no tice so much as the season oi tne year. Time and again, he affirms, did he lift np his voice in most vehement entreaty as follows, namelv, to wit: "Keep your eyes peeled, my dear, and try to notice something that will make you remember the place. You may never have another chance to come here, and you ought to try and se all you can while vou are about it. But she gazed not with the rapture for which he famished, and he pro- ceede i with more strenuous in ton. it. on "I'll declare it looks like a waste of money to take you traveling. Why don't you look around and notice things while " you've got a chance? Do you tmnk 1 went to all this expense ior the sake of having a cigar sign along with me? Hold up yo;ir head ami look around. There's things in sight that will be petrmed in history, shake your self up and look at 'em while vou can. or else blindfold voumelf and be done with it?'1 But all the solace the enthusiastic man could get in return was: (), my headache!" or "Plague take them shoes!" while the apparent eye less woman at his elbow stood around on one foot, and seemed to be getting about as much benelit from the animated scenes around her as J mole would pick up at an art dis play.

Men fall in love,- they say, with beauty, with goodness, with gentleness, with intellectual qualities, with a sweet voice, with a smile, with an agreeablt manner, with a lovable disposition, with many ascertainable and measurable things, and yet we find them continually falling in l-ve with women who are no't beautiful, nor good, nor wise, noi gentle, nor possessing anv ascertainable or measurable thing. You'll find a hundred reasons for falling in love, or being in love, and rarely the right reason which is commonly simply because a man can not help it. He is in love because a mysterious force in nature has touched him. The woman may be unbeautiful, heartless, selfish, cruel, untrue, coarse, frivolous, empty, but if the magic of nature something of the magic, I suspect, that Puck used on the eyes of Titania touches him he sees not one of these things in their true aspect. Yes, the Titanias that have fallen in love with men crowned with donkey heads, and the men that have fallen, in love with serpents, thinking them doves, are many and all because of a diabolism, oi a mystic fury in nature that delights in bringing incongruous elements togethei for the sake of a dance of delirium.

N. Y. Sun. SMELLING AN EARTHQUAKE. Abnormal Development of a Sea Captain's Olfactories. "We was anchored in the harbor o: Manilla," sa:d a bronzed and weather beaten sailor, as he stretched his legs under the table and looked meditatively at a glass of beer which had just been placed before him. "It were in the ship Albert, as I shipped into fur the voyage and our old man s name was Cole, The old man was the best I ever see at scentin' a blow. Why, bless ye, that nose of his were better than any barometer that ever was made. Many a time I've seen him a-walking up and down the poop with the sky as hlue and wind as fair as anything. Suddenly he'd stop, cock up his nose and give a sort of gnuft like, lhen he d snuu all 'rouud the compass and sing out for to shorten sail and get ready for a blow. And the blow came, too. The old man used to pay he sometimes bed, but he never made a mistake. "Well, as I was a saving; we was anchored in the harbor of Manilla. It was the most Leautifullest day you ever sd. Not enough wind to ripple tho water, and not a cloud in the sky. The ol-l man was ashore. Bineby he came aboard. As he stepped over the side he stopped and gave a great snuff. Then he suufled harder and harder all roun the compass. Then he looked scared like and rushed below to look' at his barometer. He brought the barometer up on deck and placed it where he could keep his eye on it, arid began to- get the ship ready lor a typhoon, tor that was what ho thought were a-comin. The barometer didn't go down a bit, but that didn t fool the old man. lie sent down the sky sail and royal yards, bent on purventer backstays, put double gas kets on all tho sails cepting the fore and main tawps'ls, and did every thing he could think of to get the ship in condition io: a typhoon. e overhauled the sheets, halyards, buntlins, clewlins and braces of the fore and main tawps'ls. and fixed the gaskets so as we could Et urn oil in about two shakes of a lib's ia:l, fur you see we wanted to be able to get sail on to her quick to keep her off shore if so be as she would drag her anchors. We put out both anchors and all the chain we had, and It was powerful lot I can tell you. "Well, that night there want any sign of a blow just as calm and pleas ant as it had been, and there was the old man a-walkin' up and down the deck purty much all night a-lookin at that barometer, which never moved an inch. The next morning the barometer did go down a little, and. the old man looked actu lay pleased, fur you pc he d rather be in the biggest blow that ever was than ba caught at a mistake in smellin' bad weather. Well, about noon that day, while we were at din ner, there come a dull rumblin sound. and the ship began to tremble all over like as if he had struck a rock, lhen she began to go up, up, and we rushed out of the foc'tle to see a great tidal wave sweeping into tho harbor 'and on sho e the dust and bricks and trees was a-tlyin' round in great shape. We was all pretty well scared, but fortunately we had out so much chain that we rod the wave in safety. In the midst of the confusion I saw the old man clinging for dear life to the liferail and heard him shout: A earthquake, by thunder; I thought twas a typhoon. A. 1. 7'ribuue. D A I RY PRODUCTS. The Spiling' or Thru on Time a Wry t'nnlie Proceeding: For the Producer. Farm ts are wont to complain of small profits when they get the full market price of the'r products in hand But a very unwise custom prevails in many da'ry districts of selling butter and cheese on time, or of selling through commission houses, and the latter is a st:ii more vicious prac- t'ce than time sales at a stipulated price. Why should farmers furnish these middlemen with capital to do business on gratuitously? It is the merest pretense that there is not cap'tal enough to handle these goods for cash. The grain crop is not purchased on credit or sold for farmers on comm ss:on, nor is the great commerce in live stock car ried on in this way. Every season brings reports of dis tress among dairy farmers in certa:n districts by the failure of commission men. It is. the fault of farmers that there are so few middlemen of any safe capital to do business on. The ease of obta'ning consignments has led hundreds of men without capital to set up as commission mer chants, lbese merchants have noth mg to lose, and they seem to enjoy handling the capital intrusted to them by these confid;ng farmers, and live on the top shelf till the difference between their real income and their expendi tures brings them to the inevitable fa'lure, involving hundreds of dairy farmers in the loss of a large share of the year's product of their herds. All sorts of excuses are made for the un fortunate commisson merchant, who has lost i.othmg of his own except the unmerited confluence of the deluded da rymen. But. astonishing as it may seem, these dairymen go right on the next year, and furn sh capital for some other adventurer to repeat the game. Occasionally a shrewd and economical bus ness man uses th:s capital intrust ed to hm fairly, and thus succeeds in establishing a safe bus ness. and budd ing up a safe capital, liut this result is rare. All farm products are belter than an uncertain promise to pay. Let farmers learn to hold their products till V.ey can exchange them for cash. Liile Stock Journal. What Consols Are. In speaking of consols, most people think they include the entire National debt of England. This is a mistake, for there is only a little more than half a debt, strictly speaking, included under that head. The name consols is, as nearly every one is aware, merely a contraction or term that has got into use in the brief way of speaking used on the Stock Exchange. The full official title of the portion of the publie debt called consols is "The consolidated three per cent, reduced annuities," and they have grown to their present enor mous proportions, some 330.000,000 sterling, as indeed the whole debt has. from comparatively small beginnings. by tits and starts, and through gradual processcs-of incurring floating debts to meet emergencies and the subsequent funding of the same in permanent shape at low rates oi interes. at.

Chandler is an honored one in the literature and labor of the Baptist Church; especially In con nection with his forty years' devotion to missionary work in Burmah and Siam ; a work in which his accomplished wife shared during the whole of this long period. For most of this time his resi dence was at Bangkok, in Siam, the capi tal .of the kingdom. Here he rendered himself valuable to the king aild his court, as translator of important documents. In 1859 he was appointed U. S. Consul at Bangkok. He was also tutor to the pres ent king of Siam. One of the almost inevitable results of missionary labor is the breaking down of health, and neither Mr. nor Mrs. Chandler ewaped. In 1872 their condition became Boserious that they returned to this coun try for medical treatment. They went back to Siam in 1872, intending to stay for six years, but both soon grew worse, and had to come to the United States at the end of three. What Mr. Chandler's con dition was at the time is given in his own words, as related to a gentleman who called upon him recently at his home, in Camden, New Jersey: "I was a complete wreck. My lung weakness was so great that for months at a time I could not write or read. The nerves of my stomach were totally demor alized. My food would not digest. I had to lay aside all my teaching and literary labor. I was unable to do either physical or mental unrk. I was also troubled with palpitationof the heart and with an obsti nate catarrh of ten years' standing; alto gether I was a very, very sick man. While . thus suffering, the Rev. Dr. MacFarland, a Presbyterian missionary, at Bangkok, called my attention to Compound Oxygen. He had tried it for indigestion and general deHlity and had found it very beneficial. "While I was on my way home I found myself in a very critical condition. I almost gave up hope. On reaching Phila delphia I consulted Drs. Starkey & Palen. I soon began the use of Compound Oxygen. It acted like a charm. Very soon I felt signs oT returning strength. In the mat ter of diabetes the relief was particularly noticeable. Improvement went on grad ually but surely. I became so that I could eat with regularity and really enjoy my food. In time my old symptoms of wretch edness and weariness passed away and I was myself again. . "You may judge of my health and strength when I tell you that I was with the Siamese embassy in New York and Washington a few months ago, traveling with them and going about as freely and energetically as any of them. Compeund Oxygen had so recruited my system that the unusual exercise or travel had no un pleasant effect upon me. nor was I in any respect the worse for my journey. 1 or full information as to this wonder ful Treatment, address Drs.

WHAT IS CATARRH 1 Catarrh is a muco purulent discharge caused by the presence and derelopment of the vegetable parasite amoeba in the internal lining membrane of the nose. This parasite is only developed under favorable circum stances, and these are: Morbid state of the blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ poison of syphi lis, niercnry, toxiemea, from the retention of the effete matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ven tilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are germinated in tne Diooa. rnese poisons Keep me internal lining membrane of the nose in a constant state of irri tation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds ef these ferms, which spread up the nostrils and down the auces or hack of throat, causing ulceration of the throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness ; bur rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping the proper structure oi the bronchial tuDes, ending in Dulmonary consumDtion and death. Many attempts have been made to discover a cure for this distressing disease by the use of inhalents and other ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a'particle of good until the parasites are either destroyed or removed from the mucous tissue Home time since a well known physician of forty ysars standing, alter much experimenting, succeeded in dis covering the necessany combination oi ingredients which never fails in absolutely and permanently eradicating this horrible disease, whether standing for one year or forty years. Those who may be suffering from the above disease should, without delay, communicate with the managers, Messrs. A. H.

The in ventor was struck by the alleged fact that noses on which spectacles are worn are, aa a rule, small noses. He thereupon formulated the theory that the pressure of the spectacles on the bridge of the nose interferes with the free circulation of blood, and that this interference deprives the nose of nour ishment and prevents its growth. In accordance with this theory he now proposes to reduce the size of any giv en nose by placing a metallic clamp on the bridge. This clamp, if worn every night, will, as he believes, reduce the largest nose to moderate proportions within a reasonable length of time. There are two or three weak points about tins alleged invention. One of these is that the theory on which it is founded has no support ! in fact. Some of our most eminent noses are those on which spectacles have been worn for a lifetime, and among our smallest noses are some on which spectacles have never rested. That spectacles of one sort and another are worn much more generally now than they were fifty years ago, and that noses as a general thing have grown smaller during the same period, is undoubtedly true, but it does not follow that there is any connection be tween the two facts. The gradual decline of the human ose is the result of the introduction and general use of handkerchiefs. The Romans never used handkerchiefs, and their noses, as we all know, were of the largest and finest type, Moreover, they were less liable to colds in the head than are people of the present time, and their noses enjoyed almost. a inecure. As civilization spread north ward from Italy the inhabitants of the cold and variable climate of Northern Europe found that their noses were constantly called into" activity, and as a consequence the average European nose fell below the Roman standard. Within modern times the handkerchief was invented, and a new and potent factor in the reduction of noses thus came into existence. Constant friction will wear away the hardest stone, much more the soft and cartilaginous nose. Under the friction of handkerchiefs the noses of the pre' nt centurv have steadily diminished, until small noses are worn almost as much as spectacles. It is a question whether it is desira ble ever to reduce the size of a nose. Greatness of intellect has : in all ages been closely allied ta greatness of nose, and the man who, having been gifted by nature, with a nose of true nobility, should desire to dwarf it and his intel lect at the same time, would deserve no assistance in his foolish purpose.

"Ten Years ao I was attacked with the most Intense and deadly pains in my back and KIDNEY. "Extending to the end of my toes and to my brain 1 "Which made me delirious 1 "From agony, ft" It took three men to hold me on my bed at times! "The Doctors tried in vain to relieve me, but to no purpose. Morphine ana other opiates "Had no effect! "After two months I was given up to die! "When my wife heard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters had done for her, she at once got and gave me some. The first dose eased my brain and seemed to go hunting through my sys tem for the pain. The second dose eased me so much that I slept two hours, something that I had nt done for two months. Before I had used live bottles. I was well and at work as bard as any man could, for over three weeks; but I worked too hard for my strength, and taking: a hard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that ever was known. "I called the doctors again and after several weeks, they left me a cripple on crutches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and he said Hop Bitters had cured him and would cure me. I poohed at him. but he was so earnest I was induced to use them again. In less than four weeks I threw away my crutches and went to work lightly and kept on using the bitters for five weeks, until I became as well as any man living, and have been so for six years since. It has also cured my wife, who had been sick for years; and has kept her and mv children well and healthy with from two to threebottles yer year. There l no need to be sick at all if these bitters are used. J. J. Berk, Ex-Supervisor. "That poor invalid w ife. "Sister! "Mother! "Or daughter! "Can be made the picture of health!
