One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man _sufi‘ered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as a pain-annihilator and curative agent as the
Centaur Liuiments.'-‘ These Linimcnts have Within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralgis, Stifl-joints,Caked Breasts, SWelllngs,
Poisonous Bites, Burns. Lame Animals, e'tc.,etc.,‘
than all other remedies combined. As the name of,
Centsuziinplies'half horse" and half inan, the Cen-
taur Linimeuts are for man and beast. But not the
same Linimcnt. ~ The White Liniment is for man
and the Yellow for herscs and animals. Herein
this Linimcnt differs from all other V"rsmedies,- al-
though some of the ingredients are' hike in each
They contain the Well-known WitchHVazelJ Arnica,
catholic, Book 011, Months and other powerful
ingredients.

can' float" in' it,” the bitch canoe, is one of
those marvels of ele'v'or' adaption that look
like genius. Such a canoe is really nothing
but- a basket with pointed ends and stiffened
sides; 'You sit, float, and toss in her as you
would' in a basket, and without most Watch-
to] perpendicularity and tiresome tension of
_nerves in balance, you up out of her as you
would cut of a basket. She' IS a mere single
skin of bark _sewcd together with deer sin-
ews, rimmed w'ith slight ash or birch strips,
andconnecte'd across at the top by five slen-
der thwarts, or] i‘boi'ds," mOde'led in all her
0, .Vlinesiso that despe'st pond is along the mid-
dle'bOttOm,‘ and she turnsin the water every
way as on a'pivot. The draft, with two men
lama; is two or three inches. Buoyant, of
elastic frame, unsteady to the lightest touch,
endw'ays or sideways,_shc answers to skillful
control like a séntie'nt' thing, and throws a
clumsy rider like a' mustang. With her light
grace and delicate color' she is the lady of
water-craft. 'The skill of these eanoemen is
wouderful,’ Only gained by long practice from
early- childhood . ‘Nea'ring the foot of the
rapid, while' yet in 'still Water, the guide
drops his paddle, stands erect with his setting
pole in the extreme stern, his boy in the same
attitude in the point of the bow, and studies
the eddies and stones intently. In a moment
she is swung alongside a rock, her peak
thrust just round it across the stream—then
with a mighty drive from the poles she darts
diagonally through the torrent and whirls her
tail dOWn stream, under the lea of another
rock a few feet higher up. She lsagain held
hugging the gmnite by main force, and edg-
ing forward till the beat of the water boiling
up astern of her center helps to lift her on,
and with another powerful send she shoots
across upvvardj'ag'ain' to the next covering
point. Shethreads'her intricate way among
the bouldors' by repetition of these zigzag
dashes, sometimes missing the aim and crash-
ing back Against a rock, sometimes beaten
aside by the pole slipping on the bottom,
wife the guide’s eye quick at every turn, and
his muscles . steadily braced. . The men's
pose, alertness and strength are a' study. At
times she must be thrust up by sheer power
against the dead'rush of the torrent, gaining
inch byzinch. David’s eries' to his boy rise
above the noise of the water. Accidents oc-
cur, but seldom from miscalculat'ion; If a
pole should snap while the'stress 'of the flood
beats on » her, the cahoe may be whirled
broadside on, and capsized. Then there is a
rollingand tumbling among the rocks, strug-
gling for a‘. footing, sometiiiies' With hard
bruises—or if near the foot' of the rapid, one
may be swept into 'deep water and must keep
afcluteh on the point of the canoe till she
drifts into shallotvs. ~ Except "in the larger
rivers,there is not much danger of drowning.
The guides'prefcr'ascendin'g to going down a
rapid, as the risk of the“ canoe gettibg'béyond
their centrol is' much less when 'the water
drives against her in 'sight.-’- They ~are very
cautious too, to avoid straining or bruising
the boat; “You not as 'if- this mace belonged
to you,”. David would reproach his boy at a
careless movement-8W3 Magazine.
Goon Tunas 00111190. —There can be no 'rca-

on better times,cVomme'reially and industrially,
says the New Ybrk World. We are not—

likely to get rich now in a Week or a month.
Thrift and enterprise, not audacity and un-
scrupulousness; labor and not luck, must be
relied upon now to consolidate the busincm

John at the Auction.
One'morning,at an auction sale on C street,
a lot of worn-out household furniture was
under the hammer, when ' a Chinaman, who
had been carefully watching operations for
some time, put in a bid of “two bittce" for
an old dilapidated washstand. ‘
“Two bits—do I hear the three '1’” 51011106
the auctioneer. '
There Was a long' pause, broken at last by
the Chinaman bidding again:
“Tree bittcc. ” "'
’The crowd laughed at the Celestial for
raising his win bid, and the auctioneer tak-
ing in the situation, sang out
“Three bittce—do I hear the four ?" 3116
~ looked over at John.
There was another long pause, but at last
“four bittee” came from the Chinaman; and
a roar of laughtchwent up, in which even‘ a
number of old women joined: so heartily. as
the auctioneer held on to the washstand,sa'1i'(l
the Chinaman, determined to secure it, bid
five, six, seven, eight “bittec” soonessi'vel'y,
and it was finally passed over to him for a
dollar He 1eccived it with a smile of awful
dimensions, remarking, “Me ketcbee wash-
stand, you bettee—heap cheapce.”— Virgina»
