Patterson P Co. - ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. Boys and Clrls. In this day of luxurious, comfort and convenience it is interesting to look backward one hundred years and see how the housewife managed to keep house. .The houses were mainly built of lojr?, with rarely a glass window, only glazed paper or an opening in the wall. Large fireplaces were used for heat and cooking purposes. The pots and pans of the old-time kitchen would look very queer to us. The brick oven was fired once each week and filled with delicious viands. Not a pound of coal had been mined. and a stove was an unknown com fort. There were no matches, and if the tinder proved damp, there was a trip of several miles to a neighbor's to borrow a live coal. There were foot-warmers which -were used in church during the long sermons. The floors were generally sanded. for carpets were not known save to a few city people at that time. A few Turkish rugs were owned. A rag carpet was the pride of the housewife. All the table-linen was woven by the housewife, and how beautiful it was ! All the cloth for garments also, for the entire family. But a woman could spin from dawn till night and only spin forty to sixty knots of yarn. To-day an operative can spin one hundred and fifty thou sand knots in the same time. There was no silver or china to de light the housekeeper's heart. Pewter was greatly prized, and home made bowls and. platters constituted the dinner service. No coal, oil or gas had been discovered, and tallow candles formed the only light until 1858, when petroleum was brought into use. It was then sixty cents a gallon. ' A journey was a thing to be dreaded, there being no railroads un til 1830. To-day there are more than ten thousand passenger locomotives. Where it then took days to reach a place, it is now done in hours. A trip over the Atlantic took two or three months, and now itfis made in less than ten days, and m the most palatial steamers. News traveled slowly, and communities were com pletely isolated. The people at that time had no conveniences and the fewest comforts, and yet these peo ple laid the basis of the country .we enjoy to-day. The question comes to us. What will happen in the next hundred years? Gave Back His Money. A fabulously rich man who is noted for his economies died. He appeared at the gates of Heaven. " He was met by St. Peter. Gabriel, as recorder of deeds, sat near by. St. Peter said: -"What have you done to cause you to think you should come into Heaven: "Well," said the applicant timidly, "I met a cripple child and gave it two cents. "Um-m," replied St. Peter, "that was something. Is it all right, Gabriel?" "Yes," grudgingly, answered Ga briel. ' "That is not enough. Anything else?" asked St. Peter. "Yes, I met a newsboy. He was crying because he was stuck with his evening papers. I bought a paper." "Um-m,'- said St. Feter, "that was good. Is that all right, Ga briel.?" Gabriel referred to his books, and answered in the affirmative. St. Peter thought an instant, then walked over to Gabriel. They consulted in low tones. Finally, Ga briel closed his records with a bang and said impatiently : "Oh, give him back his three cents and tell him to go to Hell." To drain a farm mortgage it. What Do They CnreT The above Question is often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and Favorite Prescription." The answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery " Is a most potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a cura tive way upon all the mucous lining sur faces, as of the nasal passages, throat bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels ana bladdeifcvcuring & large per cent, ot catar rhal cakes whether e disease affects the nasal pa&afccs, the throat, larynx, bron chia, stomachNfas cataml dyspepsia), bowels i( as muous4Kjg&. bladder, uterus or other pelvic organs Even in the rhronff! nlrqtlva tnir" affections. ft u nftin successful in affect- cures. he "Favor i t Proscription" Is advised for t.Kn rtirfr of nnft t;Iasa of diseases tnosfl z ii- i'i . 2.

A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formulae of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each In gredient entering into these medicines. The words of praise bestowed .on the Beveral ingredients entering into Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers should have more weight than any amount of non - professional testimonials, because such men are writing for the guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof they speak.

THE BOY'S HOME. Erv. A - R. Bond, fn Baptfet Argin. - The "boy problem" now has in creasing attention. The girl most be sheltered. The boy can look af ter himself in the storms of tempta tion. The glory of his advent too quickly loses itself in the gloom of neglect. The baby boy proves the attraction; the boy from ten to six teen gets but little attention. The result may be seen in the street cor ner and drug store conference. "I spell the word home and pro nounce it boy.' ' Thus spoke a prom inent Sunday school expert. Anx ious hearts have pondered how to keep a boy at homer Fermi t a few suggestions from one whose boy hood can still be touched With.no great stretch of memory. 1. Let him be a boy. Vain will be the efforts to make him as docile and orderly as the sister, nor should the overflowing vitality be over re strained. The life must expresa-it-self. Expect him to be somewhat noisy, and remember that his desires are his peculiar property. The boy at four years, as well as at twelve, has been differentiated from the girl in habits and expression of life. 2. Let him have a distinct place in in the home. He is only a boy. And with that only come the shiftings of the boy to make room for new de partures in the home custom. VVhe waits, if the table is overcrowded ? The boy. Who occupies the garret bed, when company takes his room ? Who brushes up his old coat, if a new garment is bought, while the money cannot be spared for all ? The boy. Who must lay aside his occu pation of work, play or study to do a chore or run an errand ? The boy. Almost any boy could multiply illus trations. Really, he has no abiding place. He should have his corner in the play-room, his play-things, his chair at the table," his books. Let him enjoy the exhilarating sense of proprietorship. - 3. Make him to feel "at home" in his own home. Pay attention to him. A very little effort on the par ent's part will discover that the boy has gentle sensibilities, tender affec tions, a longing for companionship. The exterior will vary from extreme shyness to boisterous gruffness, but a boy is closer akin to his sister in feeling than we often, imagine. Hedge in your boy With "dont's" and you create a restraint that will soon result in the vacant chair. The boy likes fellowship and freedom. . I have, known boys who were comfort able anywhere but at home. It was" a mistake to call their places for bed and table homes. 4. Let the home be a training school for right living. The public school and the Sunday school have relieved the home of parental guid ance in thought and religion at least many homes have adopted that view, l ne Doy snouia be helped to read good literature. The bitter wail comes from the parent's heart My boy doesn't like to read." Have you such books as would suit him ? Have you good stories of ad venture and travel? Any boy will read zigzag journeys. Give the boy readable books and he will read. : 5. Let the home of the boy com mend the religion of Christ. The vital period for the boy is between thirteen and sixteen. The conver sions occur here. May God bless the boy's home, and make it vfhat a boy needs. The Luncheon of a Poet. Eugene Field, sad of countenance and ready of tongue, once strayed into a New York restaurant and seat ed himself for luncheon. A voluble waiter came to Field and said : "Cof fee, tea-chocolate, ham-an -eggs-beefsteak-mutton-chop-fish-balls-hash -'n' beans," and much more to the same purpose. ' ' . b leld looked at him long and sol emnly, and at last replied : Oh, friend, I want none of these things. All I want is an orange and a few kind words." A tramp has beaten all known re cords by swimming twenty-seven miles in thirty minutes. He did not mean to do it. He merely tried to steal a ride from St. Louis to Chi cago on the rear of a locomotive ten der. When the train started he fell over backward, through the open manhole in the water tank. The noise of the train drowned his cries for help and he was obliged to swim until the first stop wa3 reached, at Alton. When- taken out he was nearly dead, but the engineer was so unfeeling as to call his attention to the fact that the water was only four feet deep, and he might have stood up. 1 he conductor, also unfeeling, asked him for his ticket, but the tramp said he had not come by rail but by water. Youth's Companion. A middle-aged farmer accosted a serious-faced youth outside the Grand Central Station in New York thA nthpr rlnv. "Young man," he said, plucking his sleeve, "I wanter go to Central Parte" The youth seemed lost in consider ation for a moment. Well," he said finally, you may iust this once. But I don't want you ever, ever to ask me again." When Mr. Walter H. Page was ed itor of the Atlantic Monthly and lived in Cambridge, he said the thing that gave him chief concern was the ignorance of educated people about the South. They knew all about the Transvaal, about the Philippines, Si rwri and the isles of the sea. but to many of them the South was wholly unknown. . ' SAYS CONDITIONS BAD. Prominent Editor and Preacher Charxes ttideotts Crimes oa Isthmas of Paaa- Rev. William P. F. Ferguson, edi tor of a prohibition journal, has re cently returned from Panama with a most horrible talc of the condition of things there. He is now lecturing on what he saw and is taking steps to bring the matter to the notice of the president and of congress. "I want to put on record," says he, "that the government of Colon is a mass of graft and fraud; public service, so far as there is any, is managed for political robbery. Its so-called courts of justice are simply extortion nulls. The morals of the isthmus, he de clares are awful. He makes the di rect charge that there is a regular lave trade in young' American girls from the the states and gives an in stance where" he saw two girls not more than 17 years old. who were taken to Panama, within three weeks become moral, mental and phisical wrecK3, lying naked and drunk in a den of infamy. "Within 15 feet of the postoffice at Colon, to the common knowledge of thousands, there is a huge build owned by an employee of the United States, who conducts not only a sa loon but an infamous den of vice." There are, he says. 800 saloons in Colon, a city of 12,000. He hopes to arouse men and women all over the country and force the government to make a clean sweep of the moral sinkhole.. Lost $8,000,000 on Cotton. New and Obrvt-r w. President C C. Moore, of the Southern Cotton Association, figures that the old system of marketing cotton has cost our State from two to twenty million dollars annually." and he adds "if there had been some system by which our 190G crop of about 625,000 bales could have been held from market, until this time, the value of the crop to the State would be near $8,000,000 more than we did receive for it." That is a strong way of putting the argument for holding cotton. The farmers sold most of the crop in the fall. If all the crop could have been sold at present prices, we would be twice as prosperous in the cotton section, of if we could have held one-tenth of the crcn until to- Iday, that would have made a big dif- ierence. . . The present prosperity of the South is chiefly due to the prosperity of cotton farmers. While our indus tries are varied, cotton is the true barometer of the South 's financial status. 1 Lesser of Two Evils. The burglar's wife was in the wit ness box and the prosecuting attor ney was conducting a vigorous cross examination. ; "Madam, you are the wife of this man?" "Yes." -J,You knew he was a burglar when you married him?" "Yes." "How did you come to contract a matrimonial alliance with such a man?" ! "Well," the witness said sarcasti cally, "I was getting old and had to choose between a lawyer and a bur glar." The -cross examination ended, there. - -: j "Jones was once very ill," relates the late Ambrose Thomas, "and his regular physician being out of town, the family called in another doctor. But the family physician, unex pectedly, returned, and he and the other doctor reached Jones' bedside together. Thejr found the patient in a high fever. Each put his hand under the bed-clothes to feel the sick man's pulse, and each, acci dentally, got hold of the other's hand. - "Typhoid,' said the first physi cian. " 'Nothing of the sort.' said the other. 'He's only drunk.'" y 3 FOR 100 COUPONS FROM THE CIGARETTE OF QUALITY CouDOtis in Coupons also Redeemable for Valuable Presents ' - Premium Department , AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. j JERSEY CITY, N. J. ST.

How She Got It A little girl was sent to the gro cery store with a jug for a quart of vinegar. ; But, mamma, said the little one, I can't say that word." "But you must try." said the mother, "for I must have vinegar. and there's no one else to send." So the little girl went with the jug, ond as she reached the counter of the store she pulled the cork of out of the jug with a pop, swung the jug on the counter with a thud, and said to the astonished clerk : "There! Smell of that and give me a quart 1" Three to Two. Some little girls were boasting of their respective families.
