Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery purifies •nd enriches the blood, cleanses the aystem of all impurities, and restores health and Btrength. It cures all diseases arising from impure blood.

The medicine that masters scrofula in one part, is the best remedy for it in another. It is the best. It's war- nnted. It's the only blood and lung remedy that's guaranteed to benefit or cure, or the money will be re­ funded. No other medicine of its class does it How many would be left if they did ?

SVv"4 r y " -? '• /* ^HERE were mo­ ments now when Shoddy son found her odious--she whom, years ago. he had thought the most charm­ ing woman he had ever met.; But with the last <leo- ade Mrs. Winch's Sharp features had become sharper, her smile more metallic, and her hair •a more startling red, while her little .youthful petulences had developed -into unvarnished bad temper. And jto-night, as they sat at dinner in a ^private room at Yoisins', Lawrence Shoddyson was visibly perturbed by the announcement which he must ^presently make. It was for this, to be sure, that he jhad run over to Paris, leaving town Lin the first verdure of spring and his fbetrothed in the first tremors of her (engagement. Not that Lady Sarah could truthfully be said to have in­ dulged in tremors on any occasion. jLady Sarah Ifardman was, as any one may see in the peerage, exactly 30 years of age, and she was, in addition, •ft handsome, self-satisfied, and self­ -opinionated young woman. When the years had fled away and left her fitill single, she had linally resolved, as a last resource, to captivate this successful stock-broker, whom the fates had thrown across her path in a country-house the previous winter, for ducats were few and daughters were many in the noble house*of Hardman. Mr. Lawrence Shoddyson had a bilious eye and sallow skin, and his thick, black mustache covered a coarse mouth. But he was always well dressed, and he was not bad-looking-- an men-about-town look. But as yet the engagement was un­ announced, and Shoddyson, as he fur­ tively surveyed the haird-lined face of Theodora Winch, was at a loss how to break the news. There was some­ thing uncompromising evpn in the way the lady's narrow velvet bonnet- strings were tightly fastened under her chin with a dianWid scorpion (he had given her that scorpion, by the bye, in the years), in her stiff, high-shouldec^d gown, and in the immaculate gray gloves which she had not removed when they began to eat their dinner. There was an of proprietorship, too, in the Theodora smilingly warned him from certain dishes which the drab-faced waiters produced, whilesheadvocated clarot and forbade him the cham­ pagne. To be sure, the two were old allies. She had been one of his first clients when he had started on the stock exchange; and, any time the last fifteen years, he had been accus­ tomed to run over to Paris when she wished to consult him about some in­ vestment. Shoddyson & Co. did a large Easiness with French clients, sip that profit, as well as pleasure, often brought him to the French capital. He had always been flattered and petted in Mrs. Winch's pretty apparte- ment in the Avenue Kleber, he had gone with her to the play, to the milliner's, to the tiig;tis, to the races. Theodora had nicknamed the young xi ' Bogey" in the days gone by, nd while she was young and fairly pretty the thing had been weil enough; but it was preposterous, Shoddyson told himself with a groan, for a man to be called "Bogey" by a woman who can no longer conceal her . wrinkles, and when he is 43 years of age and about to contract an alli­ ance with the daughter of an English peer. Mrs. Winch was one of a large class who affect the Champs-Elyses quarter. American by birth, she had been edu­ cated in Europe, and, after a brief experience of matrimony in the United States, she had left both hus­ band and country and taken up her aiKide in an American colony in Paris: and Winch, like other transatlantic husbands, had been, it would seem, by no means averse to the arrange­ ment. There had been talk of di­ vorce at first, and then difficulties had cropped up, and so the thing had gone on. But one day, atxmt a year ago. the husband had fallen down dead in Wall Street, after which the wife wore elegant black and enter- i tained serious thoughts of marrying again. And the person she meant to marry was Lawrence Shoddyson. Dinner was over. The waiters had withdrawn, leaving coffee and liquors at their elbow. The May night was warm, and presently Lawrence rose and flung open the window of the tiny room--a room fusty with a hun­ dred departed revelers, with the fumes of fifty by-gone feasts. He leaned his arm upon the iron balcony and gazed down into the street. The rush and swirl of nocturnal Paris lay below him, and he fervently wished himself anywhere but here. In all his Stnug, prosperous, and self- satisfied existence, he had never known such an uncomfortable moment as this. It was awk­ ward--very awkward---to tell the wo­ man who has been devoted to you for fifteen years that you are about to marry some one else. "Bogey," murmured Theodora, in her soft, babyish voice--for, though ail astute and long-headed business woman, the lady affected childish manners--4'don't hang out of the window like that. Come and sit here. What's the matter? Why, you've hardly spoken six words to-night. Are you" --with an unpleasant little laugh--" are you in love?" The man flushed up to the mots of his hair. She had given him his op­ portunity, and he took it, brutally, coarsely, like the half-bred creature he was. "I don't know about being in love," he said, with a conscious snigger: "but hang it all--well--I'm thinking --of getting married." For a while the room was so silent that you could hear the people talking in the Rue St. Honore below. Some one was putting aladyintoa carriage, and you could hear the click of the door shutting to and the direction to the coachman: "Au Cirque d'lllver. "To whom?" This time Mrs. Winch's voice was no longer soft and lisping. "Well, the fact is, Theo, that I thought it about time to pull up a bit--and--well, it's a daughter of the Martinis of Bloomsbury--Lady Sarah." "Lady Sarah!" said Mrs. Winch; "the girl who comes to Paris to get her shoes made! I wish--well, I wish }ou joy!*' There wsis an awkward pause, during which Mrs. Winch played nervously with her tea-spoon, and Lawrence," with an affectation of ease, struck a match and lit a cigarette. •'You see, Theo, it's a tremendous leg-up for me. No end of business to lie done with all those swells. And, after all, a fellow must sefile down some time or other--eh?" She looked at him hard through her narrow eyes, and the look made him feel extremely uncomfortable. "By the bye," she said, presently, rising and reaching for her wrap, "are you sure you must go to-morrow?" "Quite sure; by the first train*. But you're not going? Why, it's quite early--we can still do the third act of a I#HV." "Thanks? it's impossible. You forget that I, too, am a woman of business; I have lots to do to-night. You must tell me when I may send your wedding present. Good-bye, good-bye." A few moments more and Mrs. Winch, pale with rage and mortifi­ cation, was being rapidly driven home alone. Not for worlds would she have let him know that she was suf­ fering; but for every pang that Theodora Winch endured that night, she swore he should pay a hundred­ fold. Why, she could prevent this marriage altogether! There were half-a-dozen ways in which she could ruin him; and Lady Sarah, she knew perfectly, was not the woman to tolerate a penniless lover * * * Late into the night Mrs. Winch was at work in her study, with complicated calculations and stock exchange lists. Before dawn, she had completed her- plan. Two days later the smart young clerk who represented the firm of Shoddyson & Co. on the stock ex­ change (tjie Co., by the bye, was purely fictitious,) was discussing the, odds on tl)e Derby with a confrere, when he was handed a Paris telegram. The firm had many wires from th^ French capital, but this one was somewhat startling: "Sell one hundred thousand El Dorados six per cent, carefully;" while the signature was that of a great financial house in Paris, the brothers Sidonia, with whom Shoddyson occasionally did business. Running as fast as he could, the smart young clerk made airlhjAway to the restaurant close by, wa^f wEere Lawrence Shoddyson, with a party of friends, was celebrating his engagement, which had that very morning been announced in the daily papers. The stock-broker instantly rose, made his excuses to the lunch- party, and hastened into the market to execute his large order. There was soon a sensation in the house. Shoddyson & Co. were selling El Dorados like wild-fire, and a huge crowd gathered in the El Dorado market, while Lady Sarah's fiance continued to offer the stock. For two hours El Dorados vMit on dropping by points; and it was not until the whole transaction was nearly comr. pleted that he was able to wire to the Brothers Sidonia the execution of their order. Half an hour later the smart young clerk was handed a still more startling telegram: "We don't understand your wtro. Have passed 110 order for selUng £1 Dorados. You must be the victim ot a fraud. •"SIDONIA PBKBES." The news got out at once, for sev­ eral London stock-brokers had been warned during the lavt hour by their Paris agents that a fraud had been perpetrated on a London firm, with the result that El Dorados, which had fallen 10 per cent, during the day, recovered their original price at a bound. At the end of the day, Shoddyson was tiable for some twenty thousand pounds sterling. A large firm could have withstood the shock or borrowed the money: but to him the thing was ruin. To-morrow was account-day, and, at such short notice, he was quite unable to meet the large difference. So Shoddyson & Co. were duly declared defaulters and under­ went the process of being "ham­ mered" in the house. The morning after there appeared an authoriatativc denial in the morning papers that any marriage had been arranged between ' Lady Sarah Hardman and Mr. Lawrence Shoddyson, which, to be sure, was only what people expected. That un­ fortunate financier, who, it would seem, was born to be the sport of the less amiable members of the fe­ male sex, more than half suspects the hand that dealt him this blow. But he has never been able to prove it; nor have the Parisian police, though they have made every inquiry, been able to discover the perpetrator of the great telegraphic fraud. Mrs. Winch is becoming more pinched, more copper-haired, and more acidulous day by day. You may see her, on any fine afternoon, driving alone toward the Allee des Acacias. She has had her revenge. Is she satisfied? Who knows?---[St. James'Gazette. > "MY first love toad red hair and, light blue eyes. It jarred upon me terribly at first, but after awhile I forgot all about it."

One doesn't nee< the velvety side >t life for the setting of every picture., the other day when the noon whistles slew a crowd of workmen left their, tasks at the Womam's Temple, now Duilding at the corner of Monroe and LaSalle streets, and disjtosed ffiem- jelves in convenient nooks for the sating of their frugal dinners." After the slender luncheon four or five of them gathered under the staging on the Monroe street side, ami were chatting quietly, fleckin* the bits of mortar from their clothes, nursing a bruised place. on the rugged hands, balking of the dismal little things which go to make up a hard day's work, when a woman walking along 3n the opposite side of the street at­ tracted the attention of one of the men. . . He rose instantly, his whole face losing the dreary look which labor had left there, his movement light­ ened and quickened by the magic of love, his figure dignified in the bless­ ing of paternity. Fdr the woman who had come to See him bore in her irms the child that bound them to­ gether in a union as strong as that, which holds the world in order. He joined her on the farther pavement, took the little one in his arms, pushed back its humble bonnet, kissed the willing lips, and walked with h^r away from tSie scene of his crucial toil. The roar of a busy city, the sunlight prisoned between stern brick walls, the greed, the selfishness, the lepravity of life, were all forgotten in the moment's contact with those who were bone of his bone and flesh ^f his flesh. •When they had reached the farther corner and crossed over he saw that movement among the men at the temple which told that work had be­ gun again, and he lifted the child for a parting kiss, looked love and good- by into the woman's eyes, and hurried back to" his station, better and stronger for a touch of the tender side of life. Just as he turned into the littered entrance a carriage rolled past on the rough pavement of LaSalle street. A woman sat back in the cushions, ad- Justed her sunshade with a movement of impatience and frowned at the cumbered curb which slacked the speed of her horses. She had been to her husband's office, and now car­ ried in the little bag at her wrist a check that would have made a home for the workingman. Yet the woman who carried away the babe in the little white sunbonnet was happier than she; and the man who stood on a scaffold up there above her was blest above the husband whose mill­ ions could not purchase one glimpse of the high noon of love.--[Chicago Herald. Didn't Tak* Iw Itis not often that one can see from without the actual workings of con­ science. When it is possible, how­ ever, he must rejoice greatly if right prevails. The New York Tribune gives the following instance of such moral warfare: One dayHa man on a railway train picked up from the car seat a pack­ age that the former occupant of the sect, who had left the train at the last station "had forgtrtten. He looked at the package critically, and then glanced at the conductor, who was at the other end of the train. He evi­ dently thought himself unobserved, for after a few moments of reflection, he put the package, which was a small one, into his pocket, and then resumed the reading of his paper. But his mind was not at rest. He tried several times to read, and each time removed the paper from his eyes and gazed into vacancy, lost in meditation. The conductor passed him, and It made him uneasy. He moved about nervously in his seat. Presently he folded up his paper, put it in his pocket, leaned his elbow on the window-sill, and allowed his head to r«8t in the palm of his hand. He was having a hard struggle. It would have been interesting to know the drift of his thoughts. Perhaps the quest ion of the value of the pack­ age entered them, but it is to be hoped that it did not. At any rate, his sense of justice triumphfed. He raised his head from his hand, in a determined way, and took the package from his pocket. - It was easy to see that he was happier now. The next time the conductor passed, he handed him the package with the remark: "Here is something the lady who left't he train at the last station for- • ; rp."- ; taoBomj la Wealth. JBMN. There is a story of a young' man employed on one of the YanderVilt roads who, after fruitless endeavors to get his salary raised, finally went to William H. Vanderbllt himself. He„was kindly received, but when it cauie to the question of an increase 'of salary "Mf. Vanderbilt said: "Young man. the trouble In these days is not that men do not get sal­ aries enough, but that they are ex­ travagant and do not keep what they get." ' . With admirable composure the young man took a note book and pencil from his pocket, and after a little figuring said: "Mr. Vanderbilt, as I figure it, if God had given Adam a salary of $25,000 a year, and then he had lived till the present day and hoarded every cent of It during these 6,000 years,be would still be $5,000,000 poorer than you are. Are there not possibly other ways of getting ahead besides saving one's salary?" Mr. Vanderbilt quickly closed the interview, but is said to have ordered the young man's salary raised in rec­ ognition of his coolness and keen­ ness. The story is naturally recalled as one reads, from time to time, of Chauncey M. Depew addressing thfe young men on the virtues of economy and frugality. The advice is always good, but the man who knows most about how the Vanderbilts acquired control over $640,000,000 worth of railroads ought to enlighten the young men on a few other points now and then.-^[Boston Globe.

C., in­ dicates the formation ota resolve to control if not to corner the cotton crop of the United States. In its present shape the proposal is simply to hold off the market air the cotton produced this year in excess of 6,500,- 000 bales, and by thus shortening the supply to send up the market to 10 or 11 cents per pound from the 8 cents which has been the rule for several weeks past. The excess above the quantity named is what l^s depressed the market so much from the average pnice of recent years and actually made a large crop worth less in sell­ ing value than a much smaller one would have been. This undisputed fact lends interest to the inquiry of what chance there is likely to be for success in the effort to control the holding of the surplus. The average yield of cotton in the States is about 7,000,000 bales of 440 pounds each, and that of all other countries combined scarcely exceeds 3,500,000. Hence our cotton growers produce nearly three-fourths of the entire supply of cotton in average years, and perhaps have exceeded that proportion on the latest Crop. In ad­ dition to that fact the quality of the American cotton is superior to that grown in any other country, much of which is of comparatively little value, and used only in admixture with the American product. Hence it would seem to be an easy matter for suf­ ficient capital and adequate brains to,control the supply up to the point of making the manufacturer pay at least a fair price for the article* but it is open to serious question if this could be done through an alliance of producers, each of whom was pledged to work on a plan laid down by of­ ficials and sell only at such times and prices as those officials might direct. There is a great difference between getting several hundred thousand men scattered through six or eight States to vote unanimously for a measure and inducing them to act it out, if such action occupy some months and at times threaten to be a losing one. Whatever the quantity determined to be held over, it would . have to be apportioned among many, and unless they had some guarantee against loss some would always be found ready to sell out In advance of the rest. Probably therefore, the de­ sired reserve or holding back would have to be performed by a small num­ ber of capitalists, able to buy and re­ tain, if at all. The difficulty would be vastly greater in the case of wheat. Our crop of that cereal averages barely a quarter of the whole supply, and this year will not exceed a third part, while its power is still further re­ duced by the fact that large quanti­ ties of rye should be added to the total, since that grain is also used for bread, and many people will eat qne or the other according as it is the cheaper for the nonce. Then our wheat is a good article, but is not in­ dispensable on account of quality. The world might jiot be able to get along without it, but the quantity to be sold by others in competition with it and which American growers could not hope to control except inferen- tially and is so large that any at­ tempt to unduly advance prices here would stand a good chance of failure, as in times past. In fact the chances w-iuld be strongly against it, probably in the ratio of more than three to one, and this ought to be duly con sidered by those who are listening to the siren voice of the charmers who tell the farmers of the wonderful re­ sults to be attained in the matter of prices ir they will only consent to "hold the wheat." They, and not the rest of the world, would be losers by the foolish resolve, the higher prices realized on a small quantity being far more than compensated by the loss Incurred on the selling at ab­ normally low figures of the greater portion of the surplus after the in­ evitable decline liad set in. The theory that wheat growers could make their own prices would be found un­ supported by the facts.--[Chicago Tribune. TksrspesHe Value «f Liquid Soa|v Herr Saldemann has recently called attention in a paper addressed to pharmaceutists and the medical pro­ fession to the therapeutic value of liquid soaps, for which he claims vari­ ous advantages, such as their being more suitable for inunction, favoring admixture of medical substances, and being always producible from vegeta­ ble oils, thus avoiding the use of ani­ mal fats. The formula recommended |by him for liquid soap is to mix one |part of caustic potash, dissolved in an equal weight of water, with four parts of olive oil and one-fourth part of alcohol, followed by vigorous shak­ ing for some ten minutes; the mix­ ture is to be repeatedly stirred during the succeeding hour, then mixed with an equal quantity of water, and, after standing several days, filtered. Herr Saidemann states that carbolic acid incorporated with a potash soap has its caustic and poisonous properties paralyzed, whileitsdisinfectant action appears to be increased. It is also stated that the Berlin district san­ itary commission has found a solution of potash soap in 10,000 parts of water to completely prevent the splenic fever bacillus. Queen Marguerite's Romansa Few people know of a little ro­ mance connected with the early life of Emperor Frederick, in which Italy's lovely queen, Marguerite, figured as the heroine. 'Tis said that in his youth Frederick formed a deep attachment for this magnificent woman, then Princess of Savoy, and, she being at the time engaged to Umberto, it was never known whether or not the love was recipro­ cated; but in later years, and a short while after the Emperor's sad death, among his private effects was found carefully ptut away a crumpled piece of lace, said to have been a fragment Df the wedding gown of Marguerite torn from her robes while dancing on her wedding night.
