on a shelf in a lag and bottle mans shop stood a dainty venetian flask that had once held attar of roses tho perfume lingered about the delicate object yet though it had long been ompty and when the wind blew that way a delicato dream of roses was waited aoross the bosom of a loug amber whiskey bottle oa the same shelf and made him sigh with dolicht when the wind changed however as winds will and blew through the chunks on the other side of tho shanty a cold whiff of dead whiskey reached the flask and made her shudder for to her it told long dreadful stories of drunkards and their deeds of wicked orgies of all that wjis offensive to the pure soul of a venetian llask so at last sho spoke to him for bottles hac a language and said gently but very coldly and witha sof t italian accent sir if you could bat move a little jou are really overpowering and i fear i shall faint if you stand so close you are worse than our owners pipe to her surprise tho bottle instead of using bad language as the ragmen did re plied in the most civil and elegant manner slgnora ou aro prejudiced against m class i see but i assuro you that i am not a wicked bottle i would like to tell you my life may i i have no right to refuse jou sir said tho flask beside your voice moves me thanks siguora said her neighbor i this particular bottle now before you am conscidus of doing no harm in the world though sent out of a fashionable coalers establishment in company with brandy champagne and burguudy i began life at a fashionable supper party where it seemed my fate for many hoars of the evening to be made into punch young enthusiastic und ignorant of the world i rather liked the idea but by some oversight i was left upon the side board the others were emptied hooked on and grew wiser isaw dull men grow bright and thought whiskey inspires i saw sad men grow ga and thought it is the elixir of life but then i saw more men turn foolish and sane men seem- ingly go mad i saw men who seemed at first physically perfect stagger stumble and appear paralyzed i for the brst time saw men grow drank aud a great borrow filled my soul and i sighed the mission of a whislley bottle is to degrade why am i a whiskey bottle late at night or rather early in the morning a servant who came in to tidy the dirordered room found me she carried me down stairs early in the morning her cousin called to help put out tbe ashbarrel and ret hia breakfast he was a rednosed dull- eyed man and my heart sank when i beard tho woman say heres a bottle left over and no one the wiser take it along with you pat my heart sank more heavily when he stuck me into his pocket which smelt of tobacco and onions as he went down the street with my head sticking out of his ragged coattails i wished devoutly that i had been emptied the night before however as he tamed down an alley where dingy children lay sprawling on the pavement and tipsy men and women sat nodding on the steps a brisk sweetfaced little sister of charity met us face to face how she saw me i dont know but shb cried out at once in a little voice like the chiming of pleasant bells oh pat pat a bottle again when you signed the pledge only last week true for you maam replied pat confused but 1 got this for a pnsint and havent token a drop put it out of harms way then said the sister give it to me for the hospital and get a blessing for it sure i will that and wiloome said pat and dragged me out of his pocket handing me to her and folded under the black cloak of tbe sister i was carried away to a hospital where in rows of white beds lay the siok the wounded and the dying i was set down on a table near a poor man who was fainting from loss of blood and some of my contents were pour ed into a glass every little white a spoon ful was put between the patientfs lips and before many hours were over be had revived whisky said the good sistej as she looked at me is a very bod master but it ib a good servant you see i began by saving a life t you are a medioine then cried the flask thought you had a superior look siguora replied the bottle you flatter me t thank you but alas i was not to spend my existence in that hospital that night a wioked nurse whote oharactor had not yet been discovered stole me and carried me away in ber handbasket her intention was to have as she desoribed it pardon the slang a jolly spree she had already had too much to drink and- in lighting a kerosene lamp overset it 1 pre sume she died at all events the landlady a few days after called in a dealer to buy her effects and i went with the kitchen lot the rost of the things were sold at auotiou and the auctioneer pat me into his portmanteau and hurried away to catch a train for he was to sell out an old country residence early next morning either he forgot me or was not thirsty for when he stood in the depot i was still as full aa when we started and he no fujler there was no conveyance awaiting my auctioneer aud he started up tho road carrying his bag and hod come to a spot where only one little house was to be seen when pierc ing shrieks fell upon his ears and a woman ran out of the house with a child in her arms help if sho cried help help olw my boy will die 1 the auctioneer dropping his bag ran to the woman and seizedher by the arm what lias happened to your child he said he has just been horribly stung by a poisonous snake she sobbed see his foot is swelling already he will die in an hour or so it keep quiet cried the auctioneer lay your boy on the grass here under the tree and well save his life plenty of whiskey will keep any one from dying of snake bite who is not a very hard drinker this case will yield at onco to the treat ment i quicklyihe unstrapped the valise and taking a small drinkingcup from the same receptacle forced the child to swallow some ot my contents for a while it pro duced no effect but at last the result was certain the childs life was safe tbe mother went down upon her knees tolkank heaven and 1 was proud and happy for i had already saved two lives and half of iny contents yet remained to me i knew murmured the flask that you were not like other whiskey bottles indeed sigooru all might be like me replied tbe virtuous bottle all would be glad to do what i have done but men in whose power we are misuse us is it our fault i confess i ha re been prejudiced re plied the iflask well doctor go on what were your next great deeds i have walked in very humble paths since then replied the bottle i f left by the auctioneer in the poor womans humble home i bathed the wounded foot for a while i soaked a bandage to restore a poor washerwomans wrist after a sprain caused by a wringer i assuaged a tooth ache i was used in fact as an outward application for nearly six months content with my nneventful existence and thank ful that i had fallen into no topers hands i would willingly have been like the widows cruse exhaustless but i was emptied at last and sold to a wandering rag and bottle man for two cents was brought here of my future fate i am in ignorance but i feel a presentiment that my end approaches siguora will you pardon ne for saying that you have given me a wish to prolong existence if i could be filled with lavender water and pass my lifo besid ou beside the bedside of some delicate invalid what bliss i should enjoy as a whisky bottle i cannot hope for your approval yet oh hush dear friend i cried the vene tian flask what a useful poble life has been yours no i confess to you that could you be refilled i would be content to become a bottle of smellingsalts and pass my life near you in a hospital i owe you so much apology for my opinion of you drawn from what i knew of other bottles pje your name together repeated the whisky bottle what a blibsfal dream bat no it is im possible perhaps he moved toward her who can tell the shelf was narrow the fiveryday manners children who are not taught gooc man ners cannot be made to appear otherwise than uncouth aud possibly rude when company comes to the house jthei daily homelife and the manners of thos with whomj they are constantly associate are examples they inevitably follow scenes like the following are sufficiently common to be recognised as truthful by the reader a lady makes an afternoon call upon a mother tho children halfadozen in number perhaps surround the visitor with marked signs of interest in ber personal appearance it is a very pleasant day the caller says yes very mary run aud sit down janie dont touch thfe ladys dress are your family all well oh yes thank you tommy dont stare so at the lady how do you do little girl asked the caller pleasantly the little girl puts her finger in her month cant you talk child asfced the mother sharply why dont you flay iam well thank you im very well if you please returns the child with a giggle there now dont giggle take your finger out of your mouth james get off the back of the ladys chair run away all of you i havent seen you out lately the caller says no ive been very busy my family require all of ray time with several children one cant give much thought or interest to anything but home duties do you go to school asks the lady of johnnie hey s why john brown i now thats a nice wky to answer the lady i never say hey tofanybody now answer nice yes urn i go to school yes urn 1 say yes maam a per son would think you children had never been taught how to behave very naturally person would think so m the fate of niagara prof woodward of washington declares that in about 2200 years the rock over which the falls now flow at niagara will be all worn away the area of the rock worn away at the horseshoe falls between the years 1842 and 1875 was 18500 square feet equal to 425 acre between 1975 and 1886 50000 square feet or 137 acres the main length of the contour of the falls is 2300 feet the time required to recede one mile if the rate is 24 feet per year is 2200 years i j before this catastrophe is due doubtless provision will be made to confine the waters of lake erie so that a disastrous inunda tion will mot take place what wonders will not have taken plaoe before the close of these 2200 years 1 any one who has visited niagara must have noticed that the falls have receded quite a distance from their original starting place in p using it may be remarked thajt under the oare of the state niagara falls is recovering its pristine picturesqueness the nuisances associated with it have been abolished and it is now a noble state park theee cmits the kiss of life kisses in kinds as countless as sands of

and one thioh appeals to common sense many curable cases medical slilm manyjpersons die of consumption who could eaiily be cured says dr s c clark of ivatertown n y if they would go at it rijht i have a new view of the disease consumption is not always of lung origin how 60 1 what is it then 9 many cases of consumption are second ary thi djisease itself prevails every where bu i the best practitioners refuse to attribute it entirely to inheritance or the weather if a person lives in the most favorable limate in the world and has any tendency o lung weakness if certain condi tions exist in the system that climate however jeavbrable will bot preventdevelop- ment of the disease the disorder in such cases is only a secondary symptom in the lungs of some other ailment and can never be cured until approached through its source yes doctor but what is the method of approach if you dip your finger in acid you burn it doyouj not yes if you wash this burnt finger every second win the acid what is the result why constant inflammation festering and eventual destruction of the finger precisely now then for my method which commends itself to tbe reason and judgment of every skilful practitioner you know certain acids ore developed in the body well if the system is all right these acids are neutralized or utilized and carried out if the system is run down by ex cesses an uefcy continual exposure or over work the e acids accumulate in the blood if there ii any natural weakness in the lung this acid attacks it having a natural affinity fo rit and if the acid is not neu tralised o passed out of the system it burns nl crates ani finally destroys the lung is his clear k perfectly but how do you prevent the accumulation of these acids in the system f irregr lar ties of the liver and kidneys create thu ex jess of acid and the supply can be oul off only by correcting tbe wrong action of 1 hes e organs the kidneys alone should carry rat in quantity io solution enough
