HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND.
The bent known guide to married happi-
ness is to hold the husband as you won tns
lover—by cheerfulness of disposition, pa-
tience and keeping your youthful looks.
Of course a great many women are handi-
capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which afflict her are apt to cause a sour
disposition, nervousness and a beclouded
mind.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, the specialist in woman’s
diseases, of Buffalo, N. Y., after a long ex-
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
a liquid extract, would taeh> the majority
of cases, This he called Dr. Pierce’s Fa-
vorite Prescription. Thousands of women
have testified to its merits, and it is put
up in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers. This is
a potent tonic for the womanly system.
So much faith has Dr. Pierce in its merits
that he offers $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrliea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means of cure.
" I cannot express my thanks for the benefit I
have received from hr. Pierce's medicines,”
writes Mrs. Julius Wehrly, of Cambridge, Dor-
chester County, Md. ” f took ' Kavotlte Pre-
scription ' and feel that a perfect cure has been
effected. I feel like thanking you a thousand
times for the good you have done me, and for
the kind and fatherly letters which you wrote.
I shall always »|>eak a good word for your medi-
cines whenever I can.”

Rev. Bill Sunday.
8evev.1l years ago Mr. Bill
8undny was a star player of
Col. “Pop” Anson’s Chicago
nine, but he abandoned the
baseball field to labor in the
vineyard of the Lord as an
evangelist, and the character of
the sermons he delivers proves
him to be an exceedingly warm
worker, lie believes that the
only way to beat the devil’s
game is by hard slugging, thus
arousing the enthusiasm of the
sinners whom he seeks to bring
across the home plate of salva-
tion. Therefore he never bunts
but slugs mightily, so that, iu
bast ball parlance, his sermons
are always “hot off the bat,”
and never fail to create a com-
motion,
.Recently Mr. Suuday has
been engaged iu work among
the ungodly of Dixon, 111., and
there preached a sermon on
“The Devilfls Boomerang Up to
Date.” instead of devating
his attention to sinners of
wealth, he took up his bat aud
hammered the preachers, main-
taining that a religious revival
was most ueeded in the ranks
of the clergymen and church-
men. Among other things he
said: ^
“Conversions are effected by
preaching the old-time truths of
sin and salvation, the necessity
of repentance and renunciation
of every known sin, and the
certainty of judgment and eter-
nal damnation for the impeni-
tent. One trouble with our
preachers is that they put a new
dress on sin. Man is no longer
a thief, he is a kleptomaniac;
no longer a drunkard but a dip-
somaniac; shoot him full or bi-
chloride of gold and he has a
through ticket to Heaven.
“1 spend the first two weeks
preaching to the church, which
seems to have taken the devil’s
opiate and gone to sleep. It’s
almost as hard to get it to work
as to drag a cat backward by
the tail over a carpet. The
church is sick spiritually. The
loss piety a church has,the more
ice cream and oyster soup it
takes to run it.
“The ballroom, the theatre,
cards, er nude and lewd art are
sappiug the spiritual life of the
church. I am a bitter enemy
of the saloon, but I believe that
card tables and ballrooms are
more destructive to the spirit-
ual life.
“The time has come when
ministers must be something
more ihun mere wabbliug theo-
logical mummies, with ‘isuis’
aud ‘cisrns’ aud ‘ologies,’
breathing an odor of hieio-
glyphics, oozing Greek dip-
Ihoug aud seven-pointed term-
inologies of Latin extraction,
which can be intellectually di-
gested aud assimilated only by
bipeds wearing alphabetical
tails and appeudages to their
uames.”
There is uo denying tbut
when the Rev. Bill 8uuduy
handles a subject he does it
thoroughly. It may be said,
also, that there is a vigor in his
work which suggests the old
days when the populace were
thrown iuto a frenzy of delight
by his home-run drives aud
three-base bits. It is manifest-
ly the purpose of Mr. Suuday
to make the preachers play
their game as they ought to do
it, and cut out “the grand stand
business” entirely. If they
venture away from the bases of
piety and rectitude, Mr. Suu-
day may be depended on to
catch them napping aud run
them down.
A graud revival campaign is
advertised to open soon in
Brooklyn, aud he should take
au active part in it, but he will
not, because it seems that he is
regarded by the ministers as
distinctly persona nou grata.
They have been wouuded by
his streuuous style of speech;
bis vernacular horrifies them,
and they declare that he should
be “outlawed” aud refused per-
mission to sigu any contract in
the r league.
ALL OVER THE HOUSE. “
Some Useful Hints For the Horns
Treatment c-f Illness.
Palpitation of the heart may be
arrested, writes a well known phy-
sician, by bending down so as to al-
low the blood to r-un to the heart.
Take' the whites of two eggs and
beat them, add two spoonfuls of
white sugar, grate in a little nut-
meg, then add a pint of lukewarm
water. Stir well and drink often.
Repeat the preparation if necessary,
and it will cure the most obstinate
case of hoarseness in a very short
time.
To make a linseed poultice take
of fine ground linseed meal four
Darts and of boiling water ten parts.
Mix the linseed meal with the water
gradually, stirring constantly. The
poultice should be an inch thick and
very hot. A piece of thin flannel
placed between it and the skin will
enable the poultice to be borne much
hotter than it otherwise would.
In illness hot water is of inesti-
mable value. For example, there is
nothing that so quickly cuts short
congestion of the lungs, a sore
throat or rheumatism as hot water
when applied promptly and thor-
oughly. Headache always yields to
the simultaneous applicatibn of hot
water to the feet and back of the
neck.
LIMBURGKR CHEESE.
An exchange stye: “Limhurger
cheese laid away in a cupboard will
drive away ante.” Verily, I say unto
you, it will drive doga out of a tau
yard; it will drive buzzards away
from a caroaaa; it will drive a herd
of buffalo through a burning foreat;
aud a mule through a barb wire
fence; it will drive men crazy if
compelled to stay in twenty feet of
ita polluted presence; indeed it will
drive away ants—and uneles too,
fathers, brothers, sisters and grand-
mothers, even to the sevensh genera-
tion; still there are some who claim
to likt limburger.—Ex.
A Lad, His Father and a Lesson.
Home Journal.
A lad was io the field with
his father, aud they had stop-
ped a momeut at theeud of the
row to rest. Dowd the lane
came a covered wagou. The
driver drew rein and the boy
saw it was a neighbor with his
family. The driver said to the
boy’s father:
“Well, I am going to leave
this country, aud I am glad to
get out of it. There are so
many mcau people here that I
am goiug to shake the dust of
this neighborhood off my feet
forever.”
The father leaned on his hoe
a moment aud said:
“Well, friend, you will find
mean people wherever you go.
You cauuot get rid of them,”
The toilers went ou with
their work, aud later, when
they were at the lane again, yet
aiiolher wagon came along the
dusty way, aud the driver stop-
ped to speak to them. He
said:
“Neighbor, I am leaving this
count!y with a heavy heart.
There are so many good people
here, and the)’ have beeu so
kind to me and uice, that it is
a sore trial to me to leave.”
Aud the boy’s father smiled
and said:
“Never fear, good friend,you
will find good people every-
where. They will gat her round
you iu your new home, aud you
will find them just as true and
good as you have hero among
us. Good-bye, aud God bless
you.”
The lad has long since reach-
ed the years of maturity, but
he has never foigotteu the les-
son taught him on that fine
June morning, when his heart
was youug, and ihe birds sang
iu the trees, and the smell of
the young corn filled his nos-
trils. And the lesson i$: “You
fiud what you seek.”
