Dear Sirs With great pleasure I send you a few lines telling you of the wonderful cure your LIVER AND STOMACH SAN ATIVE has done for me. I have been trying about every thing on the market, BESIDES twenty different doc tors, and found nothing to help me permanently. I some times felt better for a short time, but would then go down again. I have had the DYS PEPSIA and NERVOUS PROS TRATION IN THE WORST FORMS, but to-day I call my self well, and all the result oi taking your medicine. I gen erally had a bilious attack about once in two weeks, and now I have not had one since I com menced taking your Sanative, and that was months ago. I CALL IT THE BEST MEDI CINE ON THE CONTINENT, and I ought to be a good judge by this time. I am now 58 years old, am doing my work, and feel like a new being. With best wishes for your guccess, for you are doing a great work for suffering hu manity, I remain your sincere and grateful friend, MRS. THOMAS TRIPP. ftpr29dfcwly-nr f tP 8ffTttUC CcuoH (/a,b.c,b.

BOOK AND JOB PRINTING. The Kennebec Journal establishment Is prepared at all times to give Immediate attention to orders of any kind of book or Job printing. We have every facility for doing work cheaply and well. Have new f*resees, large quantities of paper stock, and the ate*t styles of type. Orders by mail will receive prompt attention M I Polygamy dies hard. So did slavery, the twin evil, but it died nevertheless, as polygamy must, in this country. The Brockton strike is ended and the factories are busy again. The manufact urers are not satisfied, it is said, with the settlement, and a renewal of trouble at an early day is predicted. The operatives are jubilant. This evening the stockings will be hung in the chimney corners, and filled with things to make the children happy to-mor row. There is no other day in the year that brings so much pleasure to the chil dren as Christmas. All of the candidates of the presiden tial tickets of 1872 are dead. They were Grant, Greeley, Wilson and Brown. Gen eral John C. Fremont is the sole survivor of the campaign ot 1850, Hannibal Ham of the campaign of 1860, George H. Pen dleton ot 1864, and Horatio Seymour of 1868. The landing ot the pilgrims is an event that has been celebrated this year with a good deal of fervor by New Englanders. The old story is always new and interest ing, and calls out the best display of elo quence from many able orators. In New York the 21st is celebrated as the day of the landing, but in Brooklyn the 22d is the day observed. Senater Frye was among the speakers at the Brooklyn celebration. The democratic members ot the House have all gone home to enjoy the holidays while the Presidential succession bill, passed by the Senate, must await action until they return, notwithstanding they know the uncertainty of human life, and that if President Cleveland’s lite-thread should be severed before they return, Sen ator Sherman would discharge the duties ot President. This carelessness about so important a matter argues either that they have little objection to seeing the govern ment pass into republican hands again, or that they regard the President as proof againt disease or accidents, or that they are grossly negligent about important public affairs. Greenback democrats are placed in a quandary by the position ot the adminis tration in relation to the coinage of silver and to currency and banking. The ad ministration is squarely opposed to their opinions upon these important subjects. Some of its own party side in Congress do not hesitate to say that Cleveland and his cabinet have- been bought by the “money kings," “bankers" and “bond holders," and that ho is shaping his course entirely in their interest. We do not see how our former greenback friends who voted for Cleveland can support his administra tion without abandoning entirely the views which they have held to and advo cated in regard to financial matters. Senator Beck's war upon the adminis tration in regard to the silver question has excited a good deal ot interest. His speech upon the subject drew the undi vided attention of the Senate. He charged in effect that Secretary Manning's financi al policy was essentially unsound and dis honest, and intimated that both the Presi dent and his favorite secretary had been bought up by the bondholders. It is something very unusual for a senator to assail the President of his own party in the first year of his administration. It signifies lively times ahead in the unhap py democratic family. Now that the ball is opened we may look tor its vigorous continuation after the holidays are over. According to the census of 1880 the producing interests of the American fish eries comprehend in their operations a a capital of #37.935.319. with an annual product of #43,046,053. employ 131.426 persons, and support 525,704 others. An interest like this is entitled on all princi ples of iairness and justice to the most careful consideration of the government. Secretary Bayard, without consultation with those interested in fisheries, pledged himseli to use the influence of the admin istration to secure at the hands of Con gress the reference of all questions in volved in the fisheries to an international commission. The American Fishery Union is now ciwulating a memorial, which is being everywhere signed by those interested in American fisheries, asking Congress not to* do what Secretary Bayard has pledged himseli to favor. Personal. Judge Tourge# now live* at Maysville, N. T. Senators Dolph and Mitchell of Oregon have been law partners for many years. CaH Spreckles of San Francisco has sent •2000 as a Christmas present to an Hawaiian home tor leper children. Dr. Mary A. Walker has reappeared in Washington for the season, and with a tall hat and an nlster. A Montreal despatch says the Canadian government will soon make a requisition for the extradition of Edwin H. God. Five justices of the Supreme Court will keep open house in Washington this winter— Messrs Waite, Miller, Field, Bradley and Biatcbford. The President’s niece, Miss Hastings, who is a student at Smith College, Massachusetts, will spend Christmas with her uncle and aunt at the White House. Mr. Whittier says he shall not stay in Bos ton for any length of time this winter. Last winter he lived there, but this year will re main in Danvers. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe’s report of the Roman's Department of the New Orleans exposition is highly commended by the Times Democrat of that city. Dr. Elliot Cones of Washington professes himself a convert to theosophy and says he •‘has made a scientific study of the soul and has absolutely proven its existence." Pre ceding this Dr. Cones was an infidel. General News. Germany ha* over 3,000 bicycle riders. G. W. Luplen, wool merchant of Bradford, Eng., has failed for #300,000.

Bernhardt fainted again while per forming on Sunday night. Her physicians have ordered absolute rest There are 29 farmers, 29 lawyers, It) doc tors and two newspaper men in the Virginia house of delegates A Macon correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says ••We h^ve only between five hundred and a thousand colunels here.” A woman in the Congregational church in the West, asked for #10 from the deacon’s fund to help her to procure a divorce. At a charity fair in Berlin, the crown prin cess of Germany, has been selling sausages at #35 apiece, and sponge cake at #1 a slice. A novelty in the rig of ice yachts is a double mast and a single sail. The two masts are spread about six feet apart at the bottom, but they join at the top like the two arms ot a letter A or a pair of compasses. The sail, a huge lateen, is hung between them A Union veteran of Central New York has, through the postmaster of Petersburg, Va., learned the name of a needy Confederate soldier who lost a leg in the war, and has turned over to him the pension which the Northern man has been drawing, but which “he can live without.” The waters of Lake Tulare in California, which had been receding for a long time, have risen rapidly since the autumn rains, and many squatters’cabins that were built on dry land are now a mile from shore. It is thought probable that the lake will assume its old or even larger dimensions. Trie extent of British commerce is indicat ed by the statement that no day passes with out the loss of some British vessel and all its crew. Indeed, it is said that the statistics for the month of November show a much greater average loss than this, for during its 30 dnys no fewer than 74 ships were lost, with all on board. Efforts are unceasing in England to devise some plan ot preventing this frightful loss of life and property. A quick-witted telegraph operator in New York city, while listening at the instrument, heard a quick demand for the services of a physician, saying that Ora Misner had taken laudanum at the railroad station at Big In dian, Ulster County, and was dying. Know ing that it would be impossible to get a physician there in time, he consulted several physicians in the office, and the operator at Big Indian was told what to do at once, and the girl's life was saved. The annual statistical summary of the ship ping of the world, recently published, fur nishes some interesting data. One of the most striking featuri s is the enormous in crease in the tonnage of steam vessels as compared with sailing vessels, but the United States have not been benefitted materially by the change. In 1870 the sailing tonnage, in comparison with steamv held the ratio of 145 to 5(5. but at present the ratio is 128 to 102; but the tonnage of steam vessels has near ly doubled in the last ten years, so that the ratio Iihs not been affected by a loss of sail tonnage to the extent that these figures might seem to indicate. Of the sailing ves sels ot the world Great Britain lays claim to one-third, and the United States and Canada combined have only one-sixth, Norway ha* about one-tenth under its Hag. In steam England takes the lead with about two-thirds of the total tonnage. Ex-Senator Tabor of Colorado, who is in New York, wears diamonds enough to make a king's crown. His shirt front blazes with big stones. He has a ring mounted with a jewel as big as a chestnut. His cufi buttons are about an inch square.of gold,studded with small gems. He must wear all told #30,000 worth of jewels. He always takes them off and put* them in the hotel safe before going out at night. There are five Senators of foreign birth. Beck is Scotch, Jones of Nevada is English, Fair, Sewell, and Jones of Florida are of Irish birth. There are twelve Representa tives of foreign birth—five from Ireland, one each from England, Scotland, Germany, Nor way, Hungary. Two others are of Bavarian birth. Senator Vest said in the Senate recently: ‘I fight for my party ;l am not a mugwump.” Every one knows that. Missouri will never need to pull down its Vest because of failure to sustain democratic principles. Miss Maud Banks, daughter of General N. I’. Banks, made her first appearance on the Music Hall stage in Waltham Monday night in the Scotch ballad “Auld Robin Gray.” There are 1,200 appointments now before the Senate, and only a few have yet been considered in commilt>e.

Last evening there was a grand hall, Cony's orchestra of Augusta, fur nishing music, and several of the managers being from Augusta. This is said to be the finest G. A. R. hall in Maine.

Those present from Augusta on Tuesday evening speak in high terms of the supper furnished. The office of small pox inspector on the border is not an enviable one, if all reports arc correct. This week Dr. J. F. Hill of Waterville, inspector at the Lake Megantic •tation. was In the city and gave an account of his trials and tribulations there. The Megantic railroad ends in Canada a few tuiles from the border and from the terminus way runs into Maine territory. After crossing the line a short distance the road divides and at the forks Dr. Hill built a small station where he resided and intercepted and vaccinated all those passing along from Provincial territory. The travellers, as a rule, were mostly French Canadians, many of them ot rough and savage character. When the doctor would accost them and broach the sub ject of vaccination they would often attack biui and he stated that he had been knocked down several times. Once a party of 15 or 20 of these fellows, half intoxicated, en route for Moose River, came along with vengeance ln their eyes. They threatened to demolish hit cabin, and when he placed hia band on the shoulder of the foremost, the tt«n struck him a stunning blow over the eye, knocking him down and over an embankment ®e»r by. But the doctor jumped up, grabbed bis rifle and placed it in the hands of his as sistant and ordered him to shoot the first man wbo passed along. This had its effect and *h* party were all vaccinnated. The im portance of the station as a factor in the Preventing the introduction of small pox into the State,will be seen from the fact that once man and wife who had come across the border were found to be suffering from the disease and sent back to Canada where they w*re afterwards quarantined. Dr. Hill has recommended that the station be closed Jan. 1st, at there is little need of it now. Wnnot AND COUNCIL. A Ortot ml Parian Caaaa._»tat« Llqaar Kapart. v C“1- H‘ L- Mitchell of Bangor came before the Governor and Council, yesterday, and j0^'"r*ble arIument, asking a pardon for John F. Lawrence of Bangor. This is the fourth brae that Mr. Mitchell ha. been before e Council in faror of pardoning this ,be lMt tin>e- ye*r ago, when the board stood 6 to 1 in faror of pardon, but a. tbe legislature w., .bout to meet, the matter *as postponed. Lawrence shot his paramour in Bangor, Jan 2, 1870, and was conricted of murder in the first degree in 1870, »nd sentenced to be hung. Got. Perham commuted hi. sentence to imprisonment for e in 1871 and he haa since been in prison, a term of 15 years. At the time of the trial hi. counsel made the plea of insanity and asked tor a complete acquittal, and nothing less The jury howerer. rendered a rerdict of murder in the first degree, whereas, Mr. Mitchell held that,as Lawrence had been on a protracted spree at the time, and was not re sponsible for hit actions, he should only hare been conricted of manslaughter. As the prisoner has .erred out five years more than the maximum term for manslaughter, the counsel thought it was but justice that he should receive a pardon. Lawrence is an old man, being 05 years of age, and his conduct while in prison has been exceptionally good. A letter was read from Senator Frye, to the effect that he thought the law had been sufficiently vindicated in the case. A very strong petition, signed by some 200 prominent citizens of Bangor was presented. The matter was laid on the table. A pardon was asked for James A. Morse of Waterville. the perjurer Herbert M. Heath. Esq., County Attorney Haines and Sheriff McFadden appearing in his favor. At the April term of the Superior Court, 1884. Morse was prosecuted by the State fur liquor sell ing. When on the stand he swore that he did not pay a liquor seller's special tax, and it was proved by the counsel for the State that he did. He was arrested and the following December convicted of perjury in the same court. Judge Whitehouse gave him the minimum sentence of two years in htate Prison, of which he has served one. Hit counsel claimed that he had suffered sufficient punishment and it was stated that Judge Whitehouse would have sentenced him to but one year, only the law called tor two as the minimum sentence. It was asserted that Morse, if pardoned, would agree not to sell any more liquor. The matter was tabled. Col.Mitchell also asked the Council to par don Richard Price of Bangur, uuder a 300 days sentence for liquor selling. He has al ready served five months in prison and certifi cates of physicians were offered to show that he was suffering from chronic bronchitis and is very sick. He is also an old man and prom ises if he is let off,never to sell any more tangle foot. The board refused to grant him a par don. The State liquor agent, Wm. Z. Clayton, made his annual report. It showed that liquor had been su'd to cities and towns as follows: Auburn B mgor, Bath, Bethel, Biddeford, Bridgiun, Carroll, Caribou, Farm ington. Fayette, Greenwood, Gardiner, Hart land, Hallowell, Lewiston, Lovell, Machias, Milton Plantation,Northfield, Paris, Phillips. Portland, Rockland, Richmond, Springfield, Turner, Vinal Haven, Waterville, Weld. The totals are as follows: Whiskey, 6, 876 gallons; brandy, 454 gallons; gin, 1.284 gallons; alcohol,5,368 gallons rum, 8.342 gal lons wine, 949 gallons. In addition liquors in quarts and pints have been sold as follows; Whiskey, 949 quarts, 76 pints; brandy, 26 quarts; gin, 24 quarts, 18 pints; champagne. 7 quarts, 30 pints; porter 301 quarts, 89 pints: ale, 236 quarts, 162 pints; wine, 35 quarts; beer, 72 quarts, 1632 pints. The expenses of the office for the year were, $2,219.80. The report includes commissions, packages and cartage. The Council adjourned to meet next Mon day. _ Amusements. Tax Mikado. To-night Gilbert Sullivan’s famous opera “Mikado” with all its beauty and entertain ing features will be presented in Granite Hall, and a large house is already assured. It is the event of the season in the entertainment line and wherever it has been performed, has won the admira tion of crowded houses. Any performance of true worth never goes begging in Augusta and we predict that the opera will receive a flattering reception. The performance of the Mikado at the Gardiner Coliseum, last evening, was greet ed by one of the largest and best audiences called out by any company this season. The acting was fine; the music, both vocal and instrumental, excellent; the costumes ele gant, and the scenery and scenic effects grand. Not a particle of the Coliseum scen ery was used, everything being brought by the company. City Personal*. Hon. S.S. Marble of Waldoboro was in the city, yesterday. __ It will be remembered that at the present term of court, William Paine, formerly an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home, was tried for the alleged larceny of *34 from a fellow vet eran, last fall, and acquitted. He remained in town a few days and last Friday departed for Boston with a ticket for that city and *2 in money in his pocket, contributed by sever al large hearted gentlemen. Yesterday, W. A. Lancaster, Esq who was one of the pris oner’s counsel, received a communication from the Boston police, stating that a man. whose description answered to that of Paine’s, had been found dead, floating in the waters of Boston Harbor. On the corpse was found Mr. Lancaster’s business card which he had given the unfortunate veteran previous to his departure, and which led to the writing of the letter. It is be lieved that the poor old man had become dis heartened by his tribulations, having been discharged from the Home for the alleged theft of the money, and so to put an end to his troubles, leaped into the icy waters of the harbor. During the war he fought for the Union in the 22nd Massachu setts Infantry, and 2d Heavy Artillery. He leaves an unmarried daughter at Jamaica Plains, Mass., and a son, who is watchman at Cumberland Mills, Saccarappa. ■cpebiob corn. Waa* W» P. White* heutyrwMlaf. TcESDAT.Dec. £2d.

A* IKAOIim HZU. Mr. Frank Morley, of Waterbury, Ct, ia the possessor of a breezy and pictur eaque atyla of writing, which shows that he has misted his avocation if he ia not an ink-slinger on some Connecticut paper that dares to call a spade a spade. He has lately been the victim of neuralgia at bis home, 89 Grand street, and describes the disease and his cure in this lively fashion: "After suffering all the terrors of an imaginary orthodox hell for two weeks with inflammatory rheumatism and daily growing worse, I was induced to try Ath lophoros. The effect was like magic. I was relieved immediately and would like to say to all who are suffering with the dread disease, ‘Don’t wait; try Athlo phoros.’ Those who have suffered from inflam matory rheumatism, will appreciate the force of Mr. Morley1* remarks, and will also agree with the estimate which Mr. George L. Pease, another citizen of Water bury, puts upon the value of Atblophoros: I would have Athlophoros,” he says, “if I had to pay ten dollars a dose for it. After fourteen years of intense suffering it has done for me what our best physi sicians could not do. During that time I took every known medicine for neuralgia of the stomach, but found no relief at all un til I took Athlophoros. The effect was wonderful. All pain disappeared and my general health was so much improved as to cause general comment. I cannot speak too highly of the merits of Athloph ores, and cheerfully recommend it to all who may he troubled with rheumatism or neu ralgia.” from Pigeon Cove, Mass., Susannah Brown sends these words of good cheer to those afflicted with neuralgia: “I had been troubled with neuralgia in my head for four or five years, day and night. Seeing an advertisement of Ath lophoros in a Gloucester paper, I thought I would try it and so I sent a year ago for some. 1 have taken eight bottles and since last March I have had no neuralgia at all. My head, I think, is entirely well. I consider. Athlophoros a great remedy for neuralgia and shall recommend it to any one troubled with it.” Mrs. Sarah J. Cross, of Monroe, N.II., says of her experience: ‘‘Athlophoros has done wonderful cures for myself and all those who have uscsl any that I let them have. As for myself the rheumatism is a thing of the past to me, and 1 feel like a new person.” “When I first tried Athlophoros,” says Mrs. Mary T. Hart, of Farmington, Ct., 1 was so afflicted with rheumatism in my knees that they were badly swollen, and I suffered a great deal of pain. Three doses began to have an effect, and when I had used two bottles the pain left and the swelling and stiffness disappeared anil have never returned. About a year later my shoulder troubled me. One bottle of Athlophoros cured that and I have not had rheumatism since. I recommended its use to one or two neighbors, who tried it and were relieved.” If you cannot get ATFU.npnonos of ynnr drug gist, w« will sent it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle.

In these hurried days it seems absurd to talk of home-made carpets, yet carpets have been made by ladies that are marvels of patience and skill. Carpets and rugs for holy places, shrines, and convents are often made by hand. In the exquisite chapel erected by a Russian Archduke in memory of his wife, in Wiesbaden, there is a carpet which at first sight looks ex actly like a Turkish one, which was worked entirely by the ladies of the Rus sian Court, and which is large enough to cover the entire floor of the chapel. But while such ati undertaking will hardly commend itself to our busy women, there are certain efforts of the kind that will repay the time bestowed upon them. For example, a covering for the floor of the dining room, which certainlv need not be carpeted all over, could be home-made of coarse canvas, worked in tapestry stitch ill some arabesque design in contrasting shades of color.—New York Times.

Philadelphia, Pa.—The News says :—“A remarkable discovery made last winter, which involves a most important question,— that of public health, is being discussed by eminent physicians and public men. It is shown conclusively that throat and lung troubles can be cured without restoring to the use of morphia or opium, especially dan gerous in the case of children. The Govern or of Maryland and all the officials of that state endorse the remedy; and hospitals and charitable institutions in this and other cities use it with remarkable results. The remedy, which is only twenty-live cents a bottle, is Bed 8tar Cough Cure. It is purely vegeta ble it contains no poison or narcotics, and is a positive cure. ffltaccibmrgas. Hints OB Etlqiette—lBtrodBCtloB aid Calls One of two things, money or birth,seem to be necessary to maintain a position in fashionable society. In older cities per haps birth is more essential, bnt as a rule, money is the golden key that opens all doors. In small towns society cannot be too exclusive and the wealthiest lady in the place may meet her dressmaker or milliner at evening parties. After all there is but one standard by which to judge whether or not a person is worthy to become a member of good society. Is he a gentleman P Is she a lady Shonld be the only question asked. Not that they are well dressed, or handsome, or rich, but do thev possess certain qualities, such as kindheartedness, good feeling towards the world in general, repose of manner, dignity, refinement, sincerity, and a char acter above reproach. Who could say I that a man or a woman with the above characteristics was not worthy to mingle i in the best society But a lady who is in i all respects a real lady may chance to be ignorant of certain rules ot etiquette and I thus be too timid to accept invitations to parties and receptions that she would oth erwise enjoy. Ot course as a rule socie ty does not trouble those who live in small I houses on a modest income. They cannot I give parties or entertain largely and the latest style in menu cards or German fa vors is to them of little interest. But al though she may never be seen at large gatherings every lady will occasionally be placed where certain rules of etiquette must be observed, and she does not wish to be ignorant of the proper thing to do under any circumstances that may arise. It is an established decree that a lady re ceiving calls in her own house, must not 1 introduce two ladies who are residents of the same town. This rule holds good in exclusive society, but will doubtless sur prise those who live in country towns,and to many hostesses would seem the heighth of impoliteness, the visitors, also, feeling that they were treated with discourtesy it not positive rudeness. Circumstances alter cases, and what would be con sidered proper in strictly fashionable soci ety, would perhaps give offense in less formal circles. But there is one impor tant point upon which American and Eng lish differ. The latter never hesitate to speak to any visitors they may chance to meet at the house of a mutual friend, while Americaus maintain their stiffest manner until properly introduced. How embarassing this formality is to a hostess who does not dare introduce her callers. If they would but exchange a remark or two all would be ensv. There is certainly much to be said against promiscuous in troductions. How do you know that your friends desire to become acquainted Cer tainlv no gentleman should be introduced to a lady until her permission has been granted. In making an introduction the gentleman is presented to the lady, as for instance, “Mrs. B. allow me to introduce (or present) Mr. C.” Another rule is that a gentleman who has been introduced to a lady with her consent, is at liberty to call upon her or to leave his card at her door. Generally people bow formally upon being intro duced, but in certain places, perhaps es pecially in the South. it is the custom to shako hands. In her own house a hostess should certainly shake hands with a per son introduced to her. At a dinner party, a few miautes before dinner, the hostess introduces to a lady the gentleman who is to take her down to dinner, but it is not customary to give fur ther introductions, the guests'being at lib erty to converse with each other. A moth er is always at liberty to introduce her son or daughter, a husband may introduce his wife, or a wife her husband. At informal gatherings it is proper to introduce guests, in fact, one’s own tact and judgment must frequently be the guide. After a gentleman has been introduced to a lady, should he meet her again, he must wait for her to bow first before claiming her as an acquaintance. In almost all places it is considered the lady’s place to bow first when passing a gentleman friend on the street. On the Continent the gentleman bows first, and this is said to be the custom in some South ern cities. Should the ladies who accom pany a gentleman, recognize an acquaint ance the gentleman should raise his hat. A naturally shv person may be years in acquiring the ease of manner that is natur al to many, and nothing but experience will overcome this shyness. Some people are nervous over even so simple a matter as introducing two ol their friends to each other when all that is necessary is to say, “Mrs Jones, Mr. Smith,” the names being pronounced distinctly. There is no use telling bashful persons that this is a very simple proceeding since it will not seem simple to them, but they should strive to overcome such unneccessary nervousness and afier making say fifty introductions, they will be ready to laugh at their former bashfnlness. When a gentleman is introduced to a lady it is the gentleman's place to open conversation. The one who is introduced should make the first remark. A gentleman must net shake hands with a lady until she has made the first move ment. A married lady should always offer her hand tostranger brought to her house by a mutual friend. here the introduction is for dancing there is no hand shaking. In introducing two women, present the younger to the elder. A first call should be returned within a week. In England the lady highest in rank makes the first call. Here, the oldest resident calls first. If there is no dis tinction one lady mav wait for the other until both are ashamed to take the initia tive. As a rule, however, it is well to be slow about calling upon strangers, say one’s new neighbors, for it is sometimes difficult to become riif of undesirable ac quaintances, and a lady does not wish to slight anyone. There is a manner that no one can take offense at and yet repels in timaev, still, if you would be on the safe side, be carelul who you are introduced to and whom you call upon. A call upon persons in mourning should be returned with mourning cards when ite famtlv begin their appearance in pub lic. After a death a call should be made i within ten days unless yon are only ac i quaintances, when a call within a month I will answer. Calls should be made within three days after a dinner, or an entertainment of any kind if it is a first invitation, and within a week after a party or ball, Vhether you accept the invitation or not. Between two and six in the afternoon are the hours preferred for making for mal calls. A gentleman when making a call mav leave his overcoat or umbrella in the hall but he must take his hat and cane with him into the parlor. If he does not wish to retain these articles in his hands he may place them on the floor near his chair but OLD AGE. How Hu's Lease of Ufo may bo Lengthened. The possibility of prolonging life has commanded the serious attention of emi nent scientists, and the discovery of some compound or elixir capable of pre venting or suspending physical decay, has been, more than once, confidently pre dicted. The practical thing to consider is, however, the prolongation of life by proper care of the health, one of the best means of maintaining which Is the occasions, use of Ayer's Pills. S. C. Bradburn, Worthington, Hass., says: “Ayer’s Pills are THE BEST remedy for sick headache, arising from an impure' state of the stomach, and are the mildest and best purgative in the world. They were first recommended to me, by my mother, thirty years ago.” Mrs. J. G. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga., says: I have been cured of Rheumatism, and am now enjoying good health, through the use of Ayer’s Pills. I am nearly seventy years of age.” Mark Johnson, Monterey, Mexico, says: I have used Ayer’s Pills for the past thirty years, and am satisfied that I should not now be alive hail it not been for these Pills. By using them I have been enabled to avoid the bilious diseases peculiar to this climate.” J. V. Thompson, Mount Cross, Va., says: “Ayer's Pills gave me quick and HAPPY RELIEF from bilious and sick headaches. "I have now used them for two years, with in creasing satisfaction.” M. V. Watson, 152 State st., Chicago, 111., says: “One year ago I was induced to try Ayer’s Pills as a remedy for Iudigestion, Con stipation, and Headache, from which I hud been a great sufferer. I found the action of those Pills easy, and obtained prompt relief. In continuing their use, a single rill, taken after dinner, has been all the medicine I have required. Ayer’s Pills have benefited nte more than all the medicines ever before tried.” P. T. Sum mers, P. M., Wayside, Ivans., says: My wife suffered, for several years, with Cos tiveness and Sick Headaehe. She was completely cured by using Ayer’s Pills.” THE COMING MAN. Amofig the many attainments which we may reasonably expect the coming man to possess, will be a perfect knowledge of the human system. He will also have a thorough appreciation of the importance of Ayer’s Pills, as a means of keeping the system in a healthy condition, and of their power to cure Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, and Sick Headache. Wm. Tar rant, Alexandria. Va., writes: “Being a victim of that horrible disease, Dyspepsia, I decided to try Ayer’s Pills. Inafewdays my appetite returned, and, by exercising a little care in the selection of my food, 1 could eat a hearty meal and not feel DISTRESSED. I now rejoice in a renovated system, and my health is restored.” John Slaubsugh, Eglon, W. Va., writes: “I think very highly of Ayer’s Pills, and use no others. They cured me of Dyspepsia.” W. E. Quivey, Jackson, Mich., writes: “Ayer’s Pills are the best thing I ever found for Sick Headache.” M. J. Mead, Sr., Can ton, Ind., writes: “Ayer’s Pills have afforded me great relief from Liver Com plaint, of fifteen years’ standing, and from Constipation. I was TROUBLED with Dizziness, Indigestion, oppression ufter eating, and general Nervous Prostra tion. I now feel like a new man, all owing to a few boxes of Ayer’s Pills.” John C. Bobenreith, Elgin, III., writes: I was troubled, for some months, with a disordered liver, and began to fear an enlargement. After using only one box of Ayer's Pills I am entirely cured.” J. Tabor, M. D.. Jefferson, Penn., writes: I have prescribed Ayer’s Pills in cases of Dropsy, as well as for many abdominal disorders, and their use has been attended with excellent results.” For sale by all Druggists.

In Europe, if a gentleman has had him self introduced to a lad}-, he calls the fol lowing day and the call is returned by the gentleman of the house if there is a de sire to continue the acquaintance. If, al ter an introduction, the gentleman does not call not even a bowing acquaintance is continued. The usual custom here is for the young lady or her mother to invite the gentle man to call, and it would be thought strange for him to do so without an invi tation. If a gentleman should bring a friend to call on you it would be polite to invite the stranger to repeat his visit. There is one more rule that we fear will never meet with much favor in America, and that is that a young ladys mother should always sit with her when she is re ceiving a call from a gentleman.—Ladies' Home Journal. Don't Neglect Hie Shelter It is a fact that a farmer will frequently spend money to provide a useless dog with comfortable quarters, and at the same time permit his pigs, that any day represent a considerable sum of money, to suffer night and day from extremes of heat or cold, and thereby fail to return him so much as 10 $ents per bushel for the food they consume. Of course this is a ridiculous piece of tolly, and the man who commits it may be an excellent dog-rais er, but scarcely a judicious manager of swine kept for money making. Lumber used in making the swine stock comfort able, is a good investment. The construc tion of nig pens is a matter which should have more thought and care than is usual ly given it. particularly if you want healthy, thrifty and vigorous pigs at all seasons of the year. Sanitary appoint ments are as important in this case as in the construction of a dwelling. Mgs are more liable to disease from poorly venti lated, damp, muddy pens than any other farm animal in similar quarters. When you have decided of what capaci ty you want your pig house to be, plan it with a view to having everything about it convenient for yourself or the man who has charge of your pigs. Build a good, substantial house, one that will not need constant repair, but that will last for some years. Having planned your house select a site for it. Have it near the barn or the place where you prepare the food for the pigs. It should be on high ground and where you can have a yard or run on the south side of it, and in which a few trees and running water are a great ad vantage.—Our Country Home.

I am a native of England, and while I was in that country 1 conducted a terrible blood poison, and for •wo years was under treatment as au out-door patient at Nottingham lfospit d England, but was not cured. I suffered the most agonizing pain- in my bones, and was covered with sores all over my body and limbs I had vertigo and deafness, with partial loss of sight, severe pains in my head and eyes, etc which nearly ran me crazy.’ I lost all hope in that country, and sailed 'or’ America, and was treated at Roosevelt in this city, as well as by a prominent plr sician in Vew York having no con nection with the ho-pitals, 1 saw the advertisement of Swift’s Specific, and I determined to give it a trial as a lHst resort. I had given Up all hope of being cured, us had gone through the hand.-- of the h to medical men in Not tingham and New York. I took six bottle- of s. ,s. 8. and 1 can say with great Joy that they have cured me entirely, 1 am as sound and well as I v r was in my lite. L. FRED HAM OKI). New York City, June 12th, 1885. Blood Is the life, and he is wise who remembers it. Hat in March of last year (1*84),1 contracted bloodp dson, and being in vavannah, Ga., at the time, I went into the hospital there for treatment. 1 suffered very much from rheumatism at the same line I did not get well under the treatment there, nor wa I cured by the usual means. I have taken seven bottles of bwift’s ‘■peclfic and am sound and well. It drove the poison out through bolls on the skin. Dan I-kahy. Jersey City, N. J. Aug. 7, IW.

After taking prescription from the best physicians here and at Dallas, 1 concluded to visit Hot Springs, and on reaching Texarkana a doctor recommend? i nie to try ciwlft’s Specific, assuring me that it would benefit me more thau Hot -springs. Although the Poison had produced great holes in my back and chest, and had removed ull the hair off my head yet I began to improve in a week’s time, and the sores began to heal and were entirely gone in-ide of eight weeks.
