The inadequacy of more resolutions

fact that Pennsylvania has had an

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
Anil the Lasrt Decade of This Century.
Are we, in this year 1780, in the
last decade of the nineteenth century?
People are everywhere saying that
we are, but are mistaken. The last
decade of the nineteeuth century does
not begin till the year 1891. The
first decade of any series of years
includes, of course, the first ten years
of that series; and tho second decade
boyius with the eleventh year and. in
cludes the twentieth. That is, two
decades are twenty years. And if so
the third decade begins with the
twenty first yoar; and the fourth be
gins with the thirty-first year and so
on to the tenth which of course be
gins with the ninety-first year. The
tenth docade of this century therefore
does not commence till the ninety-first
year of the century, or till the year
1891.
It ii the same with the centuries.
Tho first century, of course, begins
with the year one. Tho third century
begins with the year two hundred and
one; and tho twentieth century, in
like manner, begins with the year nine
teen hundred and one. The new cen
tury we are approaching is to bo reck
oned therefrom, not from tho year
1900, but from the year 190L
A misunderstanding occurred on
this subject in 1850. which it took
nearly a year to correct. It was gen
erally held that tho year 1850 began a
now half century, whereas it merely
closed the first half century. And the
editorials that wore written, and the
sermons that were preached on tho
opening of a now era at that time,
were all just one joar in advance or
time. Tho centuries fly fast enough,
let us not hurry them.
A CASE EV POINT.
la oar forefathers' days, pimples were at
tributed to diseased blood. But modem
meUicino has demonstrated that rich food
dots not crcato eruptions by fouliag ths
blood, but retards dijestlon, trlilch males
tbo ntomach torpid, cud tbo clrculatloa
sluggish, au 1 iu turn causes uu cnfccblod
action of tbo pores trhich congest or become
pimply. The modern theory therefore Is not
to treat the blood, but tho stomach and liver,
and it is uuder this now Idea, that Joy's Veje
tablo Sarsaparilla ires conceived. It Is wip
ing tho old " blood disease " idea out of ex
istence. A caso l:i peint: " I have bad for
years spcll3 of indigestion and dyspepsia and
trie! nearly everything riually I took ono
of the leading sarssparillas. It caused pim
ples to break out cu my face, which I
rcas told tTas caused by tho potash. Ilc-arlng
that Joy's Vegetable Sarsapariila did not con
tain mineral, I sent for It. Tho pimplej div
ippcarcd and I haro hud no return of ths
tld hpclls. Jl ia a euro for indigestion and
lyapcpsla and the attendant faco eruptions."
