"WHAT MEDICINES ARE MOST CALLED FOB 1 asked the reporter of an old druggist. "Dr. Pierce's preparations," he replied. "They are sold under a positive guar antee that they will, in every case, give satisfaction, or the money is promptly re funded. His 'Favorite Prescription, for all those chronic weaknesses, nervous and other derangements peculiar to women, is used with unfailing success. It cures weak back, bearing-down sensations, irregularities and weak nesses common to the sox, and being the most perfeet of touic medicines builds up and strengthens the entire system. The de mand for it is constant, and I am conversant with scores of cases cured by it." Returning after a few moments' absence, the venerable wielder of the pestle remarked, "the number of sarsaparillas and other, so called, ' blood medicines ' is legion ; but Dr. ' Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery outsells them all and it is the only blood-puritler out of the many which I am obliged to keep upon my shelves, that is guaranteed to benefit or cure in all cases for which it is recommended, or money paid for it is refunded." " In the line of Pills," remarked the old gen tl ennui, "the little Sugar-coated 'Pellets' put up by Dr. Pierce lead all others, both in amount of sales and the general satisfaction they give my customers."

" The answers received tire as varied as they are amusing; they are certainly possess ed of a unique interest. Poor Richard's Sayings. Benjamin Franklin published an manac in 1757 from which we quote the following: TAXES. The taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those hud on by the government were the only ones we had to pay we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are tsiied f trice as much bv our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these taxes the com missioners cannot deliver us. It would be thought a hard govern ment thstt should tax its people one- tenth part of their time to be employed j in its service, but idleness taxes many of us much more, if we reckon all that is spent in absolute sloth, .or doing nothing; with that which is spent in idle employments or amusements that amount to nothing. Sloth, by bring ing on disease, absolutely shortens life. Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears. Dost thou love lif? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of. Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all things easy. Laziness travels so slowly that pov erty soon overtakes him. What signifies wishing and hoping for better time? We make times bet ter if we bestir ourselves. LEISURE WHAT ELLA WHEF.LER WOULD DO.

Fashionable ! women, women ot good character and form, whatever has been, or may be, said against them, have a refining in fluence. They subdue the moral odor of the stable and help tc check the growing inclination to irreverence in ordinary conversation that even decent men are prone to in this present gener ation. I should make it a point not to scold my servants. One should never de prive the woman one has married of the chiet joy of her existence! I should regard courage as tha higiv est gift of God, but I should never con sider prowess in mere field sports as constituting that great gift. To con quer and slay the lower animal should not be taken as the end and aim of life. There must be something beyond it. To excel in moral courage, to be able to control one's self, to kill the evil in one's inner nature, to be able to defy society for a principle, is surely a greater triumph than to stand with one's foot upon the body of one's coun try's foe. If I were a man I should count my self blessed indeed. But Providence has ordained other wise, foi I am The Dutchess. Methinks I hear some of you say: "Must a man afford himself no leis ure?" I will tell thee: Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leis ure; and since thou art not sure of a -minute, throw not away an hour. Leisure is the time for doing some thing useful. This leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never. A life of leisure and a life of idleness are two things. Do you im- tgiue mat siotn win anon you more Mothers and Daughters. It is a curious fact that mothers of ability frequently have helpless daugh ters, and that mot hers who are by no means what is called "capable" in Yan kee land and "clever" in England, have daughters who can turn their hands to anything. The reason, however, is very simp The capable mo hers, feeiing a certain pride in their capability, are loth to allow th.-ir daughters to help them. They desire them to feel that mother makes (he bst cake, does the nicest needlework, orders the house better th iin any one else; that her dealings with tradesmen are to the advantage of the family; that she cannot be cheat ed in the quality of goods, that she can entertain guests more charmingly than her daughters can. In this natural delight in being es teemed by her girls, she forgets that time flies, that thev will spon become women, that she must grow old. She does not teach them to tread in her foot steps, but represses any of them who are inclined to do so. She is very apt to say: "You cannot do it as it should be done, my dear," and so the the girl becomes timid. She depends on her mother, often even for the ar rangement of her hair, the purchase of j her articles of finery. She comes to her ' mother to ask what she shall say when j she writes a, letter, she sils blushing in the background while mamma talks to her friends; she remains a child in j feeling long after girls who are brought ! foward are women. And all this would le very pleasant if time could stop and the family circle remain as it is forever. Alas! this cannot be. Changes come withVears;the girl marries and becomes the head of a family of her own. She i h is no mother to guide her," or to ad vise her. lt is too late to learn what he should have been taught in her teens, or earlier; her will is good, but she cannot regain her lost ground. All she can do is to teach her daughter to be as much like her own lost and Odds and Ends.

It is said that the Unittrd States ac cumulates wealth at the rate of $2, 500,000 daily. This is equal to one third of tire accumulations of all the rest of mankind outside of the United States.

Trouble springs adored mother as possible. A 1 " lrom idleness and grievous toil troni needless ease. Many, without labor, would live by their wits only, but they'll break for want of stock. In dustry gives comfort and plenty and respect. ATTENTION TO BUSINESS. We must oversee our own aff tiftj,, The eye of the master will do more woik than both his hands. Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge. Not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open. Trusting too much to others' care is the ruin of many. Add frugality to industry. Think of ii j i is well as getting. The Indies have not made Spain rich, because her outgoes were greater than her incomes. The little creature is pushed forward, is advised, hits lessons in everything, and the hereditary ability crops otrt in her after skipping a generation. The daughter of the wowan who "never could do" a thosand things tha it is needful that a woman should do, is one of the most wonderfully capable - a women alive. Poobably she repeats her grandmother's mode of procedure, making her own daughters incapable thereby, and .-o the game of life goes on. I believe it is possible for mothers who are useful in this world to make their daughters even more useful than themselves, and they should remember this. Ihe pride ot being all at home, The Australian p.-ipers just received announce the finding of a nugget weighing 330 ounces and valued at 1,300.

I domt exactly know what 1 would do if I were a man, but 1 do know what I would be, and that is, happy. From my point of view, a man is a fortunate creature, indeed. He has no dressmaker to tyrannize over hi in, or no disappointment to meet at the last moment, He can simply go to his tailor, give his order, he measured, and he is done with it. He need not go back again, and turn himself in an aching lav-figure for an hour at a timo to have her draperies arranged: Then a man could get along with three suis of clothes - one for morning wear, one for afternoon visits and a cinf '! arniiinrr nnn ho mill wear his evening suit till it grows ahnkiW nr. .lw 8MIIM without, anv one f If I. were a man I should devoutly saying: "Ain't you tired of the sight wish I were a woman of that white brocade? Keallv, Mrs. should desire them very earnestly, and, ' cmlitor, you will make poor sneaking oeing a man or oeing a woman, snouiu try to obtain them. As it is, I desire a man's opportuni ties chiefly from a social point of view. If I were a man, I would try to under stand women as very few men seem to try to do. I would study the com plexity of 'their tastes, loves, dislikes, sensitiveness and intuitions, and try to raise my simpler and clumsier mascu line perception to a level with what most men despise because they do not comprehend.- I would like to be a man for a little while that I might make love to at least two or three women in a way that would neither shock them with its coarseness nor stare them with its pov erty. As it is now, most women d ny themselves the expression of the best part of their love because they know that it will be either a puzzle or a ter ror to their lovers. And what 1 would not do if I were a man would be ever to let go the curb rein of my own propensities. I would never let any woman know me for iust what I was bv nature, but having discovered her ideal of me, i would try to live up to it or rather to copy it as best I could, j No man yet has ever been all that the woman who loves him tries to. be lieve him. If 1 were a man I wouhl take care that she never found out her 1 mistake! But where is the man wise excuses and by degrees come to loose your veracity aad sink into base down right lying. The second vice is lying, the .first is running into debt. Lying rides upon debt's back. A free-born American ought not tn be ashamed or afraid to see or speak to any man living.
