and Diarrhoea Remedy.
i
Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a promi
nent physician, of Panama, Co
lombia, in a recent letter states :
"Last March I had as a patient
a young lady sixteen years of l
age, who had a very bad attack
of dysentery. Everything I
prescribed for her proved inef
fectual and she was growing
worse every hour. Her parents
were sure she would die. She
had become so weak that she
could not turn over in bed.
What to do at this critical mo
ment was a study for me, but I
thought of Chamberlain's colic,
cholera and diarrhoea remedy
and as a last resort prescribed
it. The most wonderful result
was effected. Within eight
hours she was feeling much bet
ter ; inside of three days she
'was upon her feet and at the
end of one week was entirely
well." For sale by Hood &

Reflections of a Bachelor.
The youngest thing in the
world is an old man chasing
around after a young girl.
The bitterest kiss can be
gilded so that most any woman
will take it without making a
face.
It seems like some old maids
who never have any men make
love to them sort of go around
making love to themselves.
Up to thirty a woman wants
to flirt with men ; from that on
to forty, with boys ; after that,
with anything, if it's only kit
tens.
Whenever a girl gets engag
ed, what she considers the most
necessary thing to do is to make
all the other girls think she
walks on him just like he was
mud.

The Chinese Trade.
The Atlanta News says that
the Chinese reformers, who are
working to modernize the em
pire, already have in their se
jc pt organization twenty-five
millions of Chinamen, who ftre
contributing systematic illy
the fund which sustains thei'i
propaganda. Our contempora i
ry declares tint "the recent in
structions of the Chinese em
peror to his ministers point
strongly in this direction, and
it is known that when not un
der the domination of the em
peror is strongly'ln sympathy
with the reformers. Several
years ago he made Kang Yu
Wei; the head of the reform
element, his chief adviser, and
had already issued instructions
for the organization of a modern
army, the establishment of
schools of science and the reor
ganization of the administratis
when the reaction stirred up by
the old empress took him oil' his
feet. Events have again re
stored the emperor to power and
the counsels of the reformers
appear to prevail. If the alli
ance with Japan is perfected
the reformers in China will
have their hands greatly
strengthened."
The value to us-of these pro
jected reforms, if they should be
effected as seems likely, lies in
their relation to our Southern
cotton manufacture. Cotton
supplies the material out of
which most of the garments
worn in China are made, and
there are four hundred millions
of Chinamen. But a small per
cent of this vast population
ever so much as heard of the
United States, while in knowl
edge of the manner in which to
capture the trade of the Orien
tals our traders are mere in
fants. The English and Ger
mans far surpass us. The ef
fect of the reforms proposed
would be to open up the coun
try to traders and to lessen the
gap between our inexperienced
agents and the skilled commer
cial men of education, good
manners and knowledge of the
world whom our European riv
als employ for their foreign
trade. Says the Atlanta con
temporary :
"Americans are still to a
large extent novices in the for
eign trade. Flushed with vic
tory in the vast growth of our
exports, which are still largely
raw products, we imagine that
we are taking the earth without
a struggle and all that we have
to do in order to secure foreign
trade is to go into the land and
possess it."
While, therefore, reform in
China will tend to put us more
nearly on an equality with the
English and German's who seek
her trade, we must be prepared
to spend money in sending a
high grade of men of commer
cial acumen, if not of commer
cial training, into that country
at the earliest moment, to make
a study of the wants of the
trade. "When once business is
established," wisely observes
the News, "its value to this sec
tion will be beyond computa
tion. The crop that is worth
millions will bring us billions
and the cotton states will be the
greatest manufacturing region
on earth."
The subject is one of tremen
dous importance to our mill
men. It is the oriental trade
which has enriched Britain.
The reform movement in China
will soon be joined by the open
ing of the Nicaraguan canal to
Welcome our efforts to capture

Then and Now.
The good old times we hear
so much about were alright in
their way, but the present time
is better a hundred fold than
ithey. It is a great deal easier
jto make money now than it
was i hen and the average man
| handles ten dollars to his
j father's one. The modern com
j forts and luxuries of life wore
in the'*guod old limes." The
parlor car yiides through the
country at fifty miles an hour
where the old gig used to rock
along at five. Everything else
is proportionately more conven
ient and comfortable. Hut
with, all these blessings there is
something the matter
We are not content and happy,
and in our blue moments, we
are disposed to lay the blame
on the times, and sigh .for the
good old days when everybody
had plenty of money and went
on their way rejoicing. Mr.
Glenn pointed out the difficulty
in his address at the Orphanage
last Wednesday. Ic has been
said before, to be sure, but it
needs to be. repeated over and
over again. It is the sin of
extravagance. In one respect
at least the old time was batter
than the present. Our fathers
had no better than the present.
Our fathers had no better sense
than to live within their means.
Their wants were not allowed
to outrun their money.
We make a great deal more
money than the old folks did,
but we spend a great deal more
than we make. A gentleman
who lives in a city told us of
clerks who would discount their
wages at a ruinous rate of in
terest in order to "splurge" on
Sundays. At the end of the
month their wages were all gone
and there was a big interest bill
to pay.
This is why so many in plac >
of trusts go wrong. They c:st -
not resist the temptation i
keep up with the fast livim
that is the curse of the age. If
only we would practice the
sturdy virtue of economy as
our fathers did with our im
proved facilities for making
money, the cry of hard times
would never be heard, and con
tentment would take place of
unrest and wretchedness. That
father is wise who rpfuses to
yield to the clamor of his chil
dren for means to gratify the
desire to "keep up with the!
procession." The procession
is going at too high a rate of
speed, and unless the brakes
are applied the young men who
have only their wages torelvi
upoii will surely come to grief.

Cholera Cure For Hogs And
Poultry.
The following will be of in
terest to our readers. It was
taken first from the Farm Jour
nal :
"Take two ounces pulverized
capsicum; two ounces pulver
ized asafoetida ; one ounce pul
verized rhubarb; four ounces
carbonate of iron; six ounces
Spanish brown; two ounces
flour of sulphur, mix thorough
ly and put up in air tight p ick
ages or vessels, and keep for
use.
"For hog cholera, p h ilf a
pound in twenty quarts o meai;
or bran and feed twice a d iy'
until all symptoms of cio'.era
disappear.
"For chickens, put one tuble
spoonful in two quarts of iiv-mI
and feed twice a day until ; 1
symptoms of the di?ease di-a; -
pear. I
"A cure soon results with i
every fowl or hog that is a'd" to
swallow the remedy : but wle-n
a chicken will not eat, m; ke a
pill of the remedy about tl e size
of a small pea and fore*' it down
the patient's throat into the
crop and a cure will surely re
sult. It is safe to repeat tin*
dose two or three tinit-s i;i •
day. ""
"This remely given abo

will prevent from ever
appearing amongst hogs o
fowls. 1 gave the recipe to ov.e

been selling it two years he says
1 that he has never yet received
a complaint. He will buy a
flock of fowls, or a pen of hog
infected with cholera, and will
cure every one of them."

Annexation of Cuba.
There is scarcely any doubt
of the fact that the annexation
sentiment in Cuba is growing
very rapidly, and it is probably
true, ;is stated bv General Go
mez, that after Cuba has been
given a taste of freedom—in de
ference to the sentiment that
has long possessed lite people—
she will bo ready for annexa
tion.
There seems no excuse, there
fore, for any further talk of
force or coercion, for it seems
apparent that evnn strong* r
considerations are drawing us
closer together.

has, in response to public senti

in the course of a year or two
we may expect to see the latter

prosperity through close trade

Porto Rico is already beginning
