By a Little Diplomacy the Men Were Taught to Assist Their Wives, Next to the locomotive, the missiOn- ary that appeals most strongly to my sympathies is one after the fashion of Mrs. Dartnell, whose husband com- mands the local military forces of the colony. Colonel Dartnell was sta- tioned at one time in a part of the :olony where his official residence was approached by a path leading up a steep hill. ' . He was much respected by the na- tives, and there were frequent occa- sions for these to visit him. Mrs. Dartnell discovered that the native custom was to let the wives carry the burdens up this hill, while the gentle- men of the party contented them- selves with a stick or a spear. With fine feminine tact, Mrs. Dartnell com- menced her missionary career by in- viting the heavily burdened women to rest themselves and have refresh- ments; but the men she ostentatiously ‘gnored, on the. ground that, as they held done no work, they could not re- quire any rest or refreshments. Little by little the news of this social revolu- tion permeated the mind of the black neighborhood, and it was a revolution by no means uncongenial to the advo- cates of black woman’s rights. ,Soon it was learned that one black man had actually carried part of his wife’s burden up the hill; and as this was not followed by a convulsion of nature, other Zulus followed the example, un- til little by little it became the rule, in that neighborhood at least, for a. man to assist his wives in the bearing of burdens.—Harper's Magazine. Pathetic Ignorance. “I have heard and read many pathetic stories,” said Senator Hoar not long ago, “but none of them ever awokeSo much sad sympathy as one which Pref. Gallaudet related. ' The professor has :1 favorite pupil—a little deaf-mute boy, exceptionally bright. Mr. Gallaudet asked him if he knew the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. With his nimble fingers the little one said he did, and then he proceeded to repeat it. The noiseless gesticula- tions continued until the boy had in- formed the professor of the elder Washington's discovery of the muti- lated tree and of his quest for the mu- tilator. ‘When George’s father asked him who hacked his favorite cherry ;ree; signaled the voiceless choild. ‘George put his hatchet in his left filand—’ ‘Stop,’ interrupted the pro- professor, ‘Where do you get your au< thority for saying he took the hatchet ,n his left hand?’ ‘Why,’ responded .he boy, ‘he needed his right hand to .ell his father that he cut the tree.’ ”— St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Under her excellent management the business has grown and is now large and thriving. In addition to a good local trade, she has the contract for supplyin all the coal used by five dredges employed by the Government for cleaning the harbor. This contract, calls for about 3,000 tons. She has to "coal up” two of these dredgers every, evening. She is her own and only bookkeeper, weighs every ton of coal sent out from the yard, hires and dis- charges the, men, and gives personal attention to the care of her horses.

They have been in active demand in the markets of the world since x770. or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. 2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest class drugs obtainable. .. ' 3d. They are kept for two-years in our storehouses after being made. and no pills are sold until they are Two YEARS Old. This allows them to become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure. 4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, thelsame dose will always produce the same 'efiect. This cannot truthfully be said of any other medicine. There are ' others who, claim it. but demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. 5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very ‘ acid conditlon. and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never cause pain or‘other inconvenience. 6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. , 7th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third ofthe best extract cf sarsa— parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of the active blood—purifying principle of sarsaparilla than a. dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market. 8th. One or two. taken every night. will cure rheumatism in almost every instance. 9th. They are a pOSItive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness, drowsiness, coated tongue. foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach, etc. Take one or two pills every night-one is usually enough—and be certain that a cure will follow. Ioth. They are the best complexion pills. After you have“ taken them for a few nights, your skin will assume 'a wholesome, healthful color, your eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear. nth.
