The Pig; or, Reason Makes the Difference.
"In what three things," said a
father to his little son, "does our pig
resemble some children?"
"In looks," said the little boy,
"for he never washes his face." I
"Well, in what else?" said the
father.
"In laziness," said the boy, "for
he does no sort of work."
"Well, what is the third point of
resemblance?" said the father.
"He eats and sleeps too much, I
suspect," said the boy.
"Yes," said the father, "and per
haps this is the reason why he is so
lazy. Now can you tell any point in
which he does not resemble dirty,
lazy and greedy children?"
"No," said the boy.
"Well I will tell you," said the
father. The dirty boy knows that
he ought to be neat; the lazy boy
knows that he ought to be industri
ous ; the greedy boy knows that he
ought not to eat too much; but the
dirty, lazy and greasy pig does not
know any better."

What Dorothy Sprinkled.
"I think I'll help father sprinkle,"
said Dorothy.
The garden hose was lying on the
ground, and soon the clear, cool
drops of water were falling on the
daisies and pansies in her flower
bed. All at once she heard, "Tweet!
tweet! tweet-tweet! " and saw
something fluttering and flitting
about under a rose-bush.
She dropped the hose and ran to
see what it was: and what do you
think she found? A tiny baby bird
had fallen out of its nest, down into
the grass, and Dorothy had sprinkled
it- with water from the hose until its
feathers were so wet that it could not
fly, but could only hop along and
say, "Tweet, tweet!"
When Dorothy saw what she had
done, she took the little bird in her
warm hands, holding it very carefully
that she might not hurt it, and ran
to the house to show it to her mother.
Mother put the little wet bird in
a basket, lined with cottoh, and set
it on the window-sill. Then Dorothy
gave "it some bread crumbs to eat;
and. when its feathers all were dry
again, she took it out of the basket
and put it in the grass under a rose
bush, where the mother bird could
find- it. Southern Presbyterian.
GOOD NEWS FOR RALEIGH.
Science at Last Discovers a Real Cure
for Rheumatism.
After years of experiment a new
scientific remedy has been found that
not only relieves, but absolutely
cures Rheumatism and kindred dis
eases, to stay cured. Rheumatism is
caused by an excess of poisonous
acids in the blood. The new discov
ery RHEMUACIDE, though purely
vegetable, and acting through na
ture's channels, neutralizes these
acids and sweeps all poisons and
harmful germs out of the blood. At
the same time it tones up the stomach
and regulates the liver and kidneys.
RHEUMACIDE, therefore, cures
the disease permanently, because it
removes the cause. It has cured hun
dreds of cases after the most noted
doctors and hospitals have failed.
RHEUMACIDE cured James Wilkes,
of Dillon, S. C, after he had been
held in.bed by rheumatism for three
years and his feet were drawn up al
most to liis back. This is only one
of the many marvelous cures RHEU
MACIDE : has already performed.
RHEUMACIDE is curing many cases
of Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago,
Gout, . Kidney ( Trouble, Indigestion,
and Constipation, right in this com
munity to-day.
Because it has cured so many oth
ers, we believe it will cure you. All
the leading druggists in this place
sell and recommend RHEUMACIDE.
How to Cure Chilblains.
