The National Institute COMPOUND OXYGEN FOR Sickness and Debility.

GOLD CURE FOR Alcohol, Morphine, etc For nearly a quarter of a century the firm of Drs. STARKEY & PALEN, of 1529 Arch street, Philadelphia, have dispensed Compound Oxygen Treatment for chronic diseases and debility, with a most brilliant record of cures. They have treated over 60,000 patients and in spite of opposition have forced

the world to acknowledge the potency and usefulness of Compound Oxygen. Over 1000 physicians have used it in their practice, and this number is being continually increased. The original Compound Oxygen made by this firm is pure, comparatively devoid of odor or taste, and one of the greatest of natural vitalizers, building up broken-down constitutions, supplying nature's waste from disease, excesses or old age. One of the beauties of using this treatment is that you take no medicine whatever, your system is not shocked by it, business or travel are not interfered with, and treatment is actually a pleasure. You simply inhale the Compound Oxygen and get it directly into the circulation, where it will do the most good--where your system can absorb every atom of it without any objection being interposed by your digestion. A book of 200 pages mailed free to any address tells all about it. TESTIMONIALS. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. About five years ago I was a broken-down man and a sick man, suffering with nervous prostration and lung trouble. To-day I am strong and rugged and doing heavy work every day, and I owe my health and life to Compound Oxygen and your kind help and advice. During the interval of these five years, I have been recommending your treatment far and near, and by my advice and your treatment we have saved several lives and benefited others. R. W. Wheeler. Jasper, New York. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. About a year ago I was suffering from overwork and consequent exhaustion. I used your Compound Oxygen Treatment with good results. I never had anything to clear up my head better and put me in better shape than your Compound Oxygen Treatment. Rev. R. A. Hunter. Irwin, Pa. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa.

My physician, who has treated me for five years, remarked to me several weeks ago that the Compound Oxygen had certainly done wonders for me. It has also relieved me of the dreadful spells I used to have. I firmly believe that I would have gone into consumption last winter, after I had pneumonia, if I had not taken the Compound Oxygen. I must say that I am in better health than ever before since I was a child, and all from your Compound Oxygen Treatment. I feel that I can never say half enough in its praise and of the great good it has done me. Mrs. J. E. Wood. Marianna, Ark. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. About two years ago I commenced using Compound Oxygen, as proposed by Drs. Starkey & Palen. I was suffering from throat and lung troubles, the left lung having had an abscess; and having tried all other remedies known to me, I was induced to try your remedy. It cured me permanently, and I rejoice that it was ever made known to me. It has done everything for me I could have asked. I have recommended it to several others, who have tried it and been benefited. I recommend it with the greatest confidence. Mrs. Rev. H. W. Kavanaugh. Frankfort, Ky. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. My mother used your Compound Oxygen Treatment for Hay Fever; she has not been troubled with it since. Albert Gifford. Valley Falls, N. J. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. Compound Oxygen did me more good as a sufferer from Hay Fever than anything I had ever tried. Rev. J. L. Ticknor. Napton, Saline county, Md. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. It is now seven months since I received the first Treatment for my son's use, and he has not had symptoms of a return of the Asthma since taking the first dose. I take pleasure in recommending it to all my friends who are afflicted with any chronic disease. It seems to act like a charm on the diseases peculiar in this climate. Mrs. E. A. Porter, Sedgwick, Mo. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. It is no secret that after coughing fully four months, and treating with the very best physicians, I obtained my first rest and help from the use of Compound Oxygen. Belle K. Adams. Cleveland, Ohio. Now that science has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that Intemperance or Dipsomania is a disease subject to the same natural laws that govern all diseases, susceptible to treatment, and as large a proportion of cases cured absolutely as with any other morbid condition of the system, we have added recently The National Gold Cure for Alcohol, Morphine, etc. This is at present the nearest perfect of any known cure, advocated by leading temperance reformers, National W. C. T. U. officers, clergymen and physicians. Francis K. Willard says of it: "We are warmly friendly to this movement and believe it to be doing great good." Such papers commend as Union Signal, W. C. T. U. organ; Watch Tower, Illinois State W. C. T. U. organ; Chicago Inter-Ocean and Chicago Herald, New York Evangelist. The Philadelphia Evening Star of February 8, 1893, says of it: "It is but a recent experiment in our city, but it can refer to as remarkable evidences of success as older institutions in other places. Those afflicted by an ungovernable appetite for liquor and really want to be cured, can by a few weeks' treatment have evidence of its power."

Among our hearty co-workers are Bishop Fallows, Rev. Sa Small, Hon. Walter Thomas Mills, Hon. James R. Hobbs, Gen. S. R. Singleton, Gen. C. H. Howard, Mary Lathrop and others. We have organized a Temperance Extension Fund to be used in treating cases who cannot pay for treatment, at greatly reduced rates, taking their obligations to repay the fund in easy installments after being restored. By so

doing we use the money over and over, curing many cases with the same money. Money sent for this purpose enables the sender to name any one they please to be treated, thereby enabling them to see the direct result of their subscription. We cure over 90 per cent. of applicants, and they are as proud as we are to be interviewed regarding it. Our cure is safe, swift and sure. We don't take whiskey from a man. We place it before him and defy him to drink and he begs us to take it away after a few days. We cure the disease upon scientific principles by taking away the appetite without impairing one at all or incurring any risk. Any subscription received will be placed to the credit of the Temperance Extension Fund and appropriately applied where most needed. DRS. STARKEY & PALEN, 1529 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

THE TINMAN.

Apple bloom and lilac, Oh, how sweet they smell! Rob o' Lincoln, hear him Like a silver bell! Round the barn the swallows, Loudly twittering, dart; All things speak of springtime--See the tinman's cart! Pans and pails that glitter, Great brooms mounted high, Big and little dippers Like those in the sky. Stopping at each farmhouse, "Is the lady in? Have you any rags, ma'am?

Do you want some tin? Tin or wooden ware, ma'am, Will you trade with me?" Oh, a traveling tinman

I should like to be!

Every body knows him, Every one he knows; Through the pleasant summer

Jogging round he goes. All the world about him

From his cart he sees,

Fields of purple clover,

Murmuring with bees; Gardens full of roses, Brooksides blue with flags,

Asking at each farmhouse:

"Have you any rags? Tin or wooden ware, ma'am,

Will you trade with me?" Oh, a traveling tinman's

Is the life for me! --Marian Douglas in St. Nichols. The Passing Rage for Gilding. A bottle of gilding in the hand of

vogue is more dangerous than the proverbial pot of paint in the hand of a woman. The latter daubs every available

useful article within reach in the name of freshness.

But fashion smears as copiously, and

this in the name of high art. We have

watched with a shudder prim New Eng-

land splint bottom chairs brought

from the attic to be dressed in a coat of

imitation gold. We have seen all sorts of incongruous articles, including rolling pins and potato mashers, filling their plebeian pores with this outward and visible sign of the Keeley cure. And now the depths are literally sounded--

fishers' nets are dragged from the sea and gilded.

Not that all cheap efforts are mean any more than all mean effects are cheap. The gilding only adds to the expense of fish netting, which is really popular with artistic folks "in its natural state" because of its soft gray coloring and its inclination to hang gracefully. It is a charming acquisition to the list of inexpensive draperies.--New York Times. Almost Anybody Can Do This. A young woman who is altogether independent, but who has the very small

income of $600 a year, suddenly resolved

last fall to go abroad for the first time. She engaged a second class passage on a fast steamer and paid $35, besides $5 to the steward, for a large room and most excellent fare. Her companions on the vessel we few and very agreeable people, gentle folks like herself. She went directly to Torquay, where she found board for $5 a week and where she spent

the winter, going up to London toward

the spring and making a fortnight's trip to Paris with a little Frenchwoman. The latter excursion cost her exactly $23. She arrived home in the middle of May, not having overdrawn her income, delighted

with her eight months in Europe and de-

termined to do the whole thing over again.--Philadelphia Press. Lost Half a Million. Lord Granville, who died in 1846, with a great reputation for courtliness of manner, held for many years the post of embassador at Paris, and the only objection which could with any show of plausibility be brought against him while holding that conspicuous post was that he was sometimes inclined to be indolent. He was addicted to play and often ran over to London for a little of his favorite amusement at Crockford's, White's or Graham's, but almost as fre-

quently returned to the French capital

with the loss of a considerable sum of money. He was one of the four noblemen who lost $500,000 at Crockford's in

one night, his companions in misfortune from the ranks of peerage being Lord Chesterfield, Lord Foley and Lord Sefton. Still, in spite of all his losses, Lord Granville left behind him no less a sum

in cash than $800,000.--Exchange. Like Job's Comforters.

A young woman suffering from acute

inflammation of the eyes complains that visiting friends, through the mistaken notion of sowing contentment by com-

parison, keep her mentally on the rack with cases of ocular troubles worse than her own. As her excited imagination

promptly fits each to her own case, she has become affrighted at the thought of a visitor and exclaims every time the doorbell rings, "What new eye horror is in store for me?" A Word For the Cat.

At this season, when the family departs from town, a word must be spoken

in behalf of the house cat, too often left behind to lead a vagrant and precarious existence. Already on the Back Bay, where "early closing" is the rule, the cats have become conspicuous by the absence of their owners. A few less felines in the world are not objected to, but that suffering and slow starvation should attend their taking off is a shame to humanity. Unless the devoted house cat can be provided with a summer home, it should be mercifully put out of existence in a way the animal society understands how to do perfectly.--Boston Herald. Pronounce in English fashion the names of foreign places or persons which have become anglicized, as Paris, Vienna, Napoleon. FEMALE, WOMAN, LADY. The Distinction Between Several Words and How They May Be Used.

An interesting discussion is going on in the columns of some newspapers over the use of the words "lady" and "woman." There is no real difference as to the occasions upon which each word is to be used, but there is a frank acknowledgment upon the part of some that they do not use the word "woman" where their good sense tells them that they should, for fear that it might give offense to the person to whom it was directed "as not sufficiently polite." There are certainly [no words?] so abused as "woman," "lady," and "female." Among certain people the use of the second of these terms is like the wearing of fine clothes or jewelry. Originally belonging to a superior class they insist on appropriating it to themselves as proof that they are the equals of any other social body. Now, while all that may be true enough and while class distinctions have no place in this country this use of the word has led to some strange and amusing confusions. The humorist who depicted the servant as addressing her mistress, "Mam, the laundry lady is a-wanting to speak to the woman of the house," did not have to depend upon his imagination for his facts. As absurd things as that may be heard in any one of the large dry goods stores in town any day, and almost any newspaper will yield a rich specimen or two.

Bishop Warren, referring to this same point, says that he glanced at the wall opposite him at the moment and saw a diploma from the "--Female academy," and then turned to a bookcase and read as the title of one of the volumes there, "Female Holiness." In the report of a southern woman's Christian temperance union convention appears the fact that "Mrs. Blank was chairlady." Now the proper word in all this is "woman." That is always and ever right. Than it there is no nobler or stronger word in the English language. "Man" is a general word as well as a particular one, and as such includes both

sexes, so that the term "chairman" signifies no subservience of one sex to the dominance of the other. If called upon

to address a stranger, a woman, then the

proper word is "madam" and not "lady, this way" and "lady, that way," as so many ushers appear to think to be the only solution to the problem of address. "Female" is never to be used as a synonym of "woman." It is a term common to one-half of the animal creation, and to apply it to woman as the substantive of designation is an insult. "Lady" is applicable to every well bred and educated woman, but it is something that is reserved rather for social usage and has not the sturdy strength and nobility of "woman."--Boston Journal. Color Protection From Intense Heat. With reference to the protective effect of certain colors against the sun's rays, years ago on my way to India the second time, having already been invalided home once from the effects of the sun, it occurred to me to try the photogra-

pher's plan. I reasoned to myself that since no one ever got sunstroke or sun

fever from exposure to a dark source of heat or even to one which, though luminous, possessed no great degree of chemical energy--the furnaces in the arsenal, for example--it could not be the heat rays, therefore, which injured one, but must be the chemical ones only. If therefore one treats one's own body as the photographer treats his plates and envelops one's self in yellow or dark red, one ought to be practically secure, and since the photographer lined the inside of his tents and belongings with yellow it was obviously immaterial

whether one wore yellow inside or out.

I had my hats and coats lined with yellow, and with most satisfactory results, for during five years' and even extreme exposure never once did the yellow lining fail me, but every time that either through carelessness or overconfidence I forgot the precaution a very short exposure sufficed to send me down with the usual sun fever. Many friends tried the plan and all with the same satisfactory results.--Cor. Lahore (India) Civil and Military Gazette. Sleeping Under Feathers. Years ago we used to smile with conscious superiority at the idea of the Dutch sleeping under a feather bed instead of over it. The idea of sleeping upon a hard mattress and climbing under a soft one seemed rather an anachronism and a singular perversion of common sense, but the introduction of down or feather comfortables is simply the utilization of that knowledge of things which some of the older countries had long ago known. Feathers are exceedingly warm, and a covering made of them superinduces and retains the heat in the human body. A curious claim is now made for a new comfortable of down. The makers assert that their product retains all the natural warmth, but allows the impure air to escape from the bed, how or wherefore we are not informed.--Up-

holsterer. Why the Duke Sold His Estate.

The Duke of Westminster, who has scandalized the English aristocracy by selling Cliveden, his ancestral estate in Berks, to Mr. Astor, excuses himself by saying that he has a family of 10 children to provide for. The sale adds $50,000 a year to the duke's income. The letters in the various alphabets of the world vary from 12 to 202 in number. The Sandwich Islander's alphabet has the first named number, the Tartarian the last. A Theatrical Trick. "A smart treasurer," said a theatrical

manager, "can 'jolly' from $20 to $50

a night out of a crowd. Some treasurers can do better than that. When the rush is on, he will manage to make just so many more people buy higher priced seats than intended to buy them. That's what I mean. It is his business to get

off all the high priced seats. You come along in the jam with a couple of ladies waiting and ask for three seats. You want dollar seats. He shoves out three tickets and says 'Dollaranaf more, sir,' with that peculiarly pained expression, you know. "The people behind are pushing you, and your ladies heard the demand for more money. You feel cheap, but you are not quite as cheap as the tone of the ticket taker implies, for you shell out the balance and grab your tickets and scoot. This is called 'jollying,' and it is done every night by some ticket sellers. It is so much dead profit. As it goes into the pockets of the management the man who can do this cleverly is considered a very valuable man. There is hardly a theater goer anywhere you has not been 'jollied' out of an extra half dollar in this way."--New York Herald.

His Secret of Wealth. There is a Pearl street business man who has by one way and another ac-

cumulated a fortune of which he is very proud. And like all self made men he is everlasting telling some one in par-

ticular and coincidentally the public in general just how he did it. So as he and a rather seedy looking friend rode up the Martin line last evening he was

laying down the law of financial success as exemplified in his own case of course.

"You ain't got backbone enough, John," he said. "You ain't got no more backbone than a cotton string. Why, you let down and quit if a feather flaps in your face. Now, look at me! look at me!" and his bosom swelled appreciatively. "When I started out in life, I made up my mind, sir, that I would never give up for anything, and, sir, I have stuck to it ever since. I never give up--never!" As the two passed out of the car the man with the gold pincenez quietly but distinctly remarked: "That's true as gospel, every word." And as they all turned around he continued: "I let him $4,500 once, and he never gave up--not a cent!"--Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The Passion For Lamps. Some years ago it was the ambition of every housewife who gave the least heed to the aesthetics of her household to have a chandelier. But it is so no more. As to the electric light, she wants none of it, excepting its identity be most carefully concealed. When she must use gas the pipes are made to creep up inside a dummy lamp or some contrivance by which the gas is made to appear what it is not. Not only has it come to pass that good form in household belongings requires that artificial light shall be, or appears to be, a lamp or candle, but it is also required that they be provided with a fancy shade of some sort. In fact so important a place does the lampshade now occupy in the economy of things that the latest design is almost as much discussed as the last thing in fashionable frocks. Not only this, but these dainty and elaborate articles are imported in special forms which no one is permitted to copy. Fashion is also exacting as to the materials used. Cheap lace and ribbon spoil the effect of the best design, and silk when it is not of the best looks abominably when the lamp is lighted. Paper shades are not as much the vogue as they were a year ago, although they are still used.--New York Telegram. An Unlucky King. The king of the Belgians said to a friend of mine who asked him to stand godfather to an infant son, "I should feel delighted I did not feel in a vein of ill luck, and unlucky people should be avoided." He said to another person, "The world has no idea what an evil influence tracks me." His sister Charlotte is a lunatic; he lost his son; he adopted his nephew, and he died also. The Princess Clementine, his daughter, has never got over the horror of seeing her governess perish in the fire at Lacken palace, which destroyed the building and numerous family relics, papers and treasures of all kinds. The tragedy of Meyerling was perhaps the greatest blow of all. One son-in-law perished in it, and the other came out of it a black sheep at the court of Austria. The Congo state is not what the king had hoped it was going to turn out and has impoverished him. The burning of his papers in

the Lacken fire has thrown his affairs in-

to disorder. It would now seem as though the crown were to go down in the hurly burly of socialist revolution, and Belgium to be again the clock pit of France and Germany.--Paris Cor. London Truth.

A New Car Fare Register.

In a new fare register the main registering train is returned to zero at the end of each trip by pulling out a knob and turning it once around, when it springs back into position. The number and the direction of the trip are changed at the same time. The register is said to be absolutely accurate in action, mak-

ing it impossible to ring without registering or register without ringing. It has a locking device, which prevents fares from being rung up during the absence of passengers, and a 4-tumbler lock with special key. The register is thoroughly tested at 183 fares before leav-

ing the factory.--New York Telegram.
