"Boston Vegetable Vapor."
THADE 3VX^aL.n.E^.
A perfectly safe and pleasant substitute for chloroform, ether, nitrous oxide gas and
all other anesthetics. Discovered by Dr. U. K. Mayo, April, 1883, and since administered
by him and others to over 500,000 cases successfully. Compounded from nervines, which
form a powerful sedative, imparting oxygen to the system to sustain life. (Nitraus oxide
gas, as administered, is destitute of this life-giving property and tends to produce convul-
sions and suffocation, asphyxia and sometimes death.) The youngest chi;d, the most sen-
sitive laiy, and those having heart disease, and lung complaint, inhale this vapor wlt;n
impunity. It stimulntes the circulation of the blood and builds up the tissues. Indorsed
by the highest authority in the professions, recommended in midwifery and all cases of
nervous prostration. Physicians, surgeons, dentists and private families supplied with tnw
vapor liquified, in cylinders of various capacities. It should bo administered the same as
Nitrous Oxide, but it does not produce headache and nausea as that sometimes does, rot

WHEN they find how rapidly health
is restored by taking Ayer's Sar-
saparilla. The reason is that this
preparation contains only the purest
and most powerful alteratives and
tonics. To thousands yearly it proves a
veritable elixir of life.
'Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brockway Centre,
Mich., writes : "Liver complaint and
indigestion made iny life a burden
and came near ending my existence.
For more than four years I suffered un-
told agony. I was reduced almost to
a skeleton, and hardly had strength to
drag myself about. AH kinds of food
distressed me, and only the most deli-
cate could be digested at all. Within
the time mentioned several physicians
treated mewithout giving relief. Noth-
ing that I took seemed to do any per-
manent good until I began the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has pro-
duced wonderful results. Soon after
commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I
could see an
Improvement
in my condition, my appetite began to
retnru and with it came the ability to
digest all the food taken, my strength
improved eacli day , and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman,able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life, and I cannot thank
you too much."
"We , the undersigned , citizens of
Brockway Centre, Mich., hereby certify
that tho above statement, made by
Mrs. Lake, is true in every particular
and entitled to full credence."—O. P.
Chamberlain, G. W. Waring, C. A.
Wells, Druggist.
"My brother, in England , was, for a
long time, unable to attend to his occu-
ration, by reason of sores on his foot,
sent him Ayer's Almanac and the tes-
ti monials it "contained induced hi m to
try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using it
a little while, he was cured , and is now
a well man , working in si sugar mill
at Brisbane, Queensland , Australia."—

Not Tall Enough.
History has recorded that a foreign
priDcess to whom Henry "VTIL of Eng-
land .offered his hand ia marriage sent
back the pointed answer that "if she
had had two heads she would gladly
have placed one of them at his Majesty's
disposal. " This allusion to the fato of
Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard
was a good specimen of tho epigram-
matic smartness of that period ; but ,
says Mr. David Kerr, an equally
creditable performance has been fur-
nished by our own aga.
Just at the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating a fresh ex-
tension ot her frontier at the expenss
of Holland, a Dutch official of high
rank happened to be visiting tho court
of Berlin, where he was
^
handsomely
entertained. Among other spectacles
got up lo amuso him, a review-was or-
ganized at Potsdam.
"What docs your Excsllency thini
of our soldier.*?'1 aske 1 Princ3 Bis-
marck, as one of tho regiments camo
marching past in admirable order.
? 'They look as if they knew how to
fight," remarked tho visitorj gravely;
"but they are not quite tall enough."
The prince lookel rather surprised at
this disparag ing criticism. He made
no answer, however, and several other
regiments filed past in succession; but
the Dutchman's verdict upon each and
all was still the same : "Not tall
cnouff h. '
At length the Grenadiers of tho
Guard made their appearance—a mag-
nificent body of veterans, big and
stalwart enough to have satisfied even
tho giant-loving father of Frederick
the Great ; but the inexorable critic
merely said, "Fine soldiers, but not
tall enoug h."
Then. Prince Bismarck fairly lost
patienco and rejo ined, somewhat
sharply, ''These grenadiers are tho
finest men in our whole army ; may I
ask what your Excellency is pleased to
mean by saying that they are not tall
enough?"
The Dutchman looked him full ia
the face and replied, with significant
emphasis, •'I meaa that -wo caa flood
our country twelve feet deep. "
Had Resurrected a Dead Man.
Professor Bilroth, the famous Vien-
nese surgeon, Bomo time ago received a
letter from a certain Jew in a small
Russian town to come immediately and
perform an operation. The professor
in his answer sti pulated for 5000 marks,
which was promise 1 him. The pro-
fessor then repaired to the Russian
town, and upon his arrival he was re-
ceived by a number of Jews, who sor-
rowfully informed him that the gentle-
man that was to be operated upon had
died and had been buried already. And
seeing that the. professor fe't per plexad
and regretted the journey which he had
made in vain, the Jews comforted him,
saying: "There is yet soms chance for
you to make some money here. There
are several sick men in our hospital w'
ao
would require your services, for wh.'ch
each of them wou".d willingly pay you
1000 marks." T.ie professor gladly ac-
cepted the offer, and after having per-
formed about five operations, the sti pu-
lated amount was hand;d to him. But
a few mmutss before starting for home,
the professor learned that he had resur-
rected the dead man. That worthy
gentleman had been among the hospital
patients cured for 1000 marks.
A Once-Despised Vegetable.
Some paper, speaking of the tomato
crop, says that 72,000, 000 cans "were
put up this year past" and refers to tho
old times when the tomito was called
the "love apple," and held about aj
fair a match f< r "ground cherries" as
food for man or beast. Mr. B. R. Su'-
grove, the oldest newspaper man in the
city, says he remember* seeing, when
a boy, in 1835 or thereabouts, several
stocks or bushes of "love apples" grow-
ing on the north side of Market strest,
near Delaware, in the garden of John
Wilkins or "Archie" Lingenfelter.
They were not«called «'tomatoes" and
nobody thought of eating them mor :
than "jimsou burs." -Tney were not
commonly grown, even for garden
ornament, and it waj a half score of
years later before they came into even
occasional table use. But he remem-
bers that some of the doctors of that
day commended them as a healthful
thing to eat, and the new name "to-
mato1
' became familiar. Fifty"years or
more ago this was the fame and ,food
value of the tomato, now more often
and generally usedL and in more forms
than, an^ other garden " product what-

NEW MEXICO.
How It Came to be Annexed to
the United States.
Its Mixed Population of Spanish
and Indians.
The Territory now known as New
Mexico was conquered by the Spaniards
a little more than three centuries ago.
No portion of our country bears so re-
markably the stamp of antiq-iity as
docs New Mexico. Its chief c.ty, San-
ta Fe, is said to bo the oldest in tho
United States.
After the war with Mexico, its Gov-
ernment ceded to us in 1848 a tract of
country which originally comprised
Arizona and Southern Colorado. Tho
present nrea of New Mexico is 122, 460
s quare mllc3. Tiie whole number of
New Mexicans in the United States is
estimated at 300,000.
Two entirely distinct races inhabil
the Territory, aud these people have an
interesting history. The original pos-
sessors of the land were Indians, sup-
posed to be descended from the Aztecs,
or cliff-dwellers.
"The Spanish took possession ol
their country one hundred years beforo
the Pilgrim Fathers set their feet on
the shores of New England. The Puri-
tans aud Pilgrims, tho Dutch and tho
Quakers did not come for conquest ;
they camo seeking freedom to worship
God.
"Tho Spaniards came for conquest
and gold ; and the old fortress of San
Marco, at St. Augustine, built entirely
by the labor of Indian slaves, makes a
strong contrast with tho work of all
the other colonists just named, who set-
tled alono- the Atlantic coast."
The present population of New Mexi-
co consists of a few families of pure
Spanish blood, and the Pueblo Indians,
but the largest portion is of mixed
Spanish and Indian blood.
These Indians were tillen of the soil,
and not nomadic. The Spaniards, hav-
ing learned that their lands were fer-
tile, and that mineral deposits of gold
and silver had been found, determined
to seize this wealth and enslave the In-
dians. Having succeeded in this, they
subjected the people to abject slavery,
and treated them with such cruelty that
bloody revolts were the consequence.
This wronged people partially regained
their freedom, but were red uced in con-
sequence to the deepest poverty and
degradation.
In the mountains near Santa Fe there
were gold, silver and copper mines, and
as the Spaniards, who ruled the coun-
try, could not wre3t treasure from the
natives, they forced them to dig aud
mine and smelt metals with the crudest
appliances. "When , after years of toil,
the foiei gu yoke became unbearable,
"secretly, and with the utmost caution,
tno overthrow of the oppressors was
planned. Swift runners traveled by
hidden paths, in the depths of night,
from town to town, laid the case of
their people beforo their council of war-
riors and wise men, and each Pueblo
that joined the conspiracy added a
kuofc to a string the messengers car-
ried.
"At last all was ready, a great blow
was to be struck for liberty, and one
that would drive Ihe hatei Spaniards
from tho home of the Pueblo. One
night during August, 1680, the signal
fires sent their me3sage across the land
from lofty mountain-top3 and the hour
had struck. The strangers' rule received
iis death-blow on that night, and the
life-blood of many a valiant Spaniard
dripped from dozens of wounds inflicted
by their former slave ). The padres,
too, became martyrs to their calling,
and fell before their altars, to which
they fled for safety." The Indians
effectually closed the openings to the
mines that they had worked, and oblit-
erated all traces of shafts and tunnels.
But their independence was of short
duration. Don Die^o de Vargas Sapa-
tahiyan soon appeared before Santa Fe
and once more subjugated the town,
the Pueblos scekin? shelter in the
mountains and in the ruins left by the
cliff- builders ; but they were pursued,
and again compelled to labor as peons
(serfs). But although prior to 16S0,
the mine near San Lazaro had yielded
good riches, only fourteen years later
several expeditions failed to discover an
entrance to it, and today its site i* un-
known. About 1700 A. D-, Santa Fe
being settled by Spaniards, became the
great trading city of the Southwest. 11
is described as an anti quated place, "
a
delightful place in which to ro3t and
grow old without knowing it."
The surrounding country gives evi-
dence that the "
silver fever of the old
Spaniards," still burns in the veins of
their successors, for holes and shafts
aud tunnels may be seen in the earth,
and rock out of which "
some silver and
lead have come, gold and copper out of
others, disappointment out of the ma-
jority."—New York Observer.
It Took Off Both Legs.
Major Joues, who served with credit
in the late war, h no liar, says the
Lewiston (Me.) Journal, yet when he
tells a story he generally manages to
astonish his hearers just the same. He
is fond of boasting that he participated
in numerous battles without receiving
a wound of any description. Remem-
bering this fact his comrades were as-
tonished when ho remarked the other
evening at a Grand Army meeting:
•'Gentlemen , the battle of Antietam
was the hottest engagement l ever svw.
My regiment, as some of you are aware,
was exposed to a galling fire for more
than two hours without even the poor
satisfaction of firing a shot in return.
During this try ing season, while I was
receiving an order from the Colonel, a
cannon ball came straight for me, mow-
ing a swath through the tall grass. I
have reason to remember that shot, gen-
tlemen, for it took off both legs."
"
"What!" cried nn astonished listener,
as he glanced at the speaker's shapely
limbs.
'Of my horse," added the impertur-
bable Major.—PhiladelphiaBecord.

I have beard the robins singing
Where the sweet magnolia grows;
I have seen the zephyrs flinging
Twilight kisses to the rose;
But a sweeter song has filled me
Than the birds in perfumed bowers,
And a softer kiss has thrilled me
Than the south winds on the flowers
I have felt the lilies blowing
Dewy fragrance in the morn;
I have seen tho sunbeamsTglaring
Golden blushes on tfce corn;
But I know a flower that's fairer
Than the lilies ever grew,
And I love a blnsh that's rarer
Than the sunbeam's softest hue.
I have seen the moonbeams flying
Over starlit, silvery seas;
1have heard the zephyrs sighing
Through theorange-blossomed trees
But a purer ray has blessed me
Than the moonlight on the sands,
And a softer sigh caressed me
Than the breath of Tropic lands.
She is fairer than the flowers;
She is bweeter than the rose,
And her heart of kindness showers
Blessings everywhere she goes.
Altruistic—without sinning—
She s an angel from the sky
(Far above my eartbly winning)—
She's engaged ! and so am I!

suppose the bsst of friends must part,
you know. Janet—Oh, yes, and what's
the u e of people who are nothing tc
each other growing sad over separation?
That's the way I look at it.
Hymn Writing.
Except for the good one can do, then
is but little satisfaction to be gained
from writing a well-known hymn. As
a rule, hymns are not high-priced com-
modities in the literary market, the roy-
alties are small, and the author's name
is generally lost sight of, even if tho
hymn achieves wor'd-wide fame. As
an example, I question whether there
arc a hundred persons today who knovs
that the author of "Tho Sweet Bye-and-
Bye1' is living in an obscure Illinoi -
town and not ami! the greatest luxury
either. Tens of thousands, perhap-
millions of people know the hymn;
how many ever think of Dr. S. Fill-
more Bennett, .its aged author? The
hymn has brought him almost no reve-
nue, and ev-n lj ss fam?. Mrs. Annie
Sherwood Hawks is another instan ce,
livinff in a small interior New York
town, compelled to resort to her pen
for a living, yet who has not sung her
world-famous hymn , "
I Need Thee
Every Hour"? Pro fetsor Gilmore of the
University of Rochester, rarely re-
ceives credit as the author of his welU
known lines, "He I/jadetb Me."
Fanny Crosby, she of hundreds of
hymns that are sung every Sunday by
thou-ands of lip?, lives in a side-street
in New Yoik city almost forgotten.
Al:h u ,
'h blind and helpless, she is
happy in the religion which fills her
mind and sou1. There seemssomethinrr
in those cited cases that is not alto-
gether rijht—this entire forgetfu'.ness
by a busy worl .l of those who have
m ide our sweetest songs. And sol
say there is but little encouragement
in the writing of hymis. Not only is
the author poorly paid for the work,
then almost entirely forgotten, but the
additional stigm'. i3 r ffercd of having
the hymn embodiel into hundreds of
collcci ions without a cent of revenue ac-
cruing to the author. Th3 invill pit-
tan ce given lo .
.the author when the
hymn is first published, is ofttimes the
only remuneration. ,

A Peculiar Lake.
Beelfoot Lake, thelocality of the earth
quake which caused so much excitement
in Obion County, Mo., is one of the
most interesting in the United States.
Reelfoot Lake is about thirty miles long
and eight or nine wide. It lies in the
western portion of Obion County, Tennes-
see, parallel with the MississippiRiver at
that point.
The lake was formed by the great
earthquake which happened about the
year 1810. The shock split the earth
wide open, and the waters of the Missis-
sippi rushing over left the immense lake
in a few seconds'time. All the country
round about for miles on every side ol
the lake is still marked by upheavals and
depressions. No wonder the inhabitants
of that region became panic-stricken:
they have by tradition the terrible event
which so frightened their ancestors eighty
years ago.
Reelfoot Lake presents theappearance,
all times of the year, of a thickly studded
turnip patch. The growth known as
"bonnets," broad leaves floating on the
surface attached to stems which are often
many feet long springing from the bot-
tom of the lake, give one the impression
from the shore that he is looking upon
an immense field of solid soil, yet thou-
sands of skiffs, especially in winter, skim
the surface. The rasping of the keel,
over the "bon nets" sounds like sand-
papering a wooden instrument.
From all portions of the country, geese
and duck hunters gather there in the
winter. Boston, New York, Louisville,
Cincinnati—nearly every city, in fact,
has its club house on the shores of this
wonderful lake, and the birds flock there
by millions.—Jacksonville Times-Union.
Fins and Needles.
Metal pins were introduced into Eng-
land from France in 1543. Within a
short time after, machines were con-
structed in England for the manufacture
of pins. "Previous ly they had been filed
to a point and the head had beon soldered
by hand. Great opposition was made to
the novelty," says Fclkin, "but utility
and cheapness prevailed in its favor. The
common sewing needle was brought
hither from India after the discovery of
the route by the Cape of Good Hope.
Before .that time sewing was performed
in the method still used by shoemakers."'
Rowing in Front of a Mirror.
A scheme to correct the faults of the
candidates for the Yale crew has been
devised by Captain Allen. It is a simple
mirror, about six feet in length and three
feet in width, suspended from the ceiling
over the rowing tank in such a way that
it is just above the oars, and can be
moved opposite any place in the boat.
This enables the men towatch their row-
ing movements, and it is believed will aid
materially in teaching and correcting the
men of their faults.—BostonRecord.

A Remedy for the Influenza .
A remedy recommended for patients afflicted
with the influenza ia Kemp 's Balsam , the spe-
cific for Coughs and Colds, which is especially
Hdupted to diseases of the throat and lurifts.
Do not wait for tile first symptoms of the dis-
ease before securing the remedy, but eet a bot-
t le and keep it on hand for use the moment it
is needed. If neglected the influenza has a
tendency to brin s on pneumonia. All drug-
gists sell the Balsam .
About 200,003 persons are on the pay roll* of
tlie United States Government , and it takes
some $165,000,003annually for wages.

Tried and I\ot Found Wantin g.
Attention iscalled to the wonderful safe-
guard which,is known to exist In tho use of
Dr. Tobias 's Venetian Liniment. " especially
at this period when such alarm is felt from the
result of Pneumonia , Influenza , etc. Ever y-
one should know of its value. Trul y it can bo
said of thi-i peerless remedy that "it has been
tried and not found wanting. " For upward
of forty years it has been warranted to give
perfect satisfaction or the money refunded ,
yet a bottle has never been returned.
A record indeed the pro prietor may justly
be proud of. Certificates from time to time
are sent in grateful acknowledgement of the
marvelous cures 1t has accomplished. One of
the form er just received from John Gill, Esq.,
of the Methodist Home, New York city, savs:
"In my opinion there Is nothing equal to Dr.
Tobias's Venetian Liniment for Kheumat sin,
bronchitis . Colds, in fact pains of -every de-
scription it is the King. 1 consider no family
or stable safe without a bottle of your Invalu-
Rble remedies "
