depressed and melancholy. so
that lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be
that I did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid
senate of potash, of iron,
mercury, bromide of potassium,
ride of bismuth,
quinine and several others. All
this I did under advice of eminent
physicians.
It was while I was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
the new quinine, as a specific
for malaria, were first brought to
attention. I knew nothing of its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed I
deemed it my duty to try it. so I began
its use, and its prompt and radical
were of the nature of a revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only a few use of
all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in a few weeks
from the time took the first dose I
was cured.
This was about the first of January,
and since then I have experienced no
recurrence of the malarial symptoms
in any form. A remedy of such ex-
virtue for the cure of malaria
ought to be commended and
sally made known. I have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like good results in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that I commend
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.

With its mine of new-found treasures,

Earth her robe of choicest beauty spreads
to woo the tender feet.
And the angels whispering round them
thrill the air with accents sweet.

Hope's horizon is to-morrow, and the sun

Every moment has its blessing, sweet-

Purer even than the sunbeams that the

And love-song of the heavens steals up-

Sweeter than the whispers that

And the wanderer, over striven, hum-

School Reformation.
Charlotte Chronicle.
We that a fine array of
and enterprising citizens of
New York city are discussing the
organization of a society for the
pose of reforming the school
system in the city and State in order
to remove certain evils which have
grown in There is need
for reformation efforts in other
States than New York in order to
the betterment of both public and
other schools. There is a vast deal
of hum buggery about most of them.
It is easy to mislead the people by
appearances on commencement
and advertisements of
kinds throughout scholastic
years as they come and go. The
sanitary condition of school house,
the character of the seats used in
school the number and char-
books in the character
of the methods of teaching employed

especially true that the system of

Off With His Hair
There seems a prejudice nowadays
against the wearing and cultivating
of the masculine hair. The close
crop is universal. The tonsorial
lawn mowers arc ever at work. The
of the age has decreed that
nature is wrong m the endeavor to
grow hair on the male head. The
prevailing ambition seems to covet
baldness. The cavaliers gloried in
their flowing locks. We glory in
our scalp bristles. With the
of Hon. W. H. Cody and a few
others we have turned
if not Parliamentarians. In the es-
of the young man of our
time a round, clipped bead a la Sing
Sing is beautiful. For all the
barbers are responsible. They have
impregnated the whole people and
shampooed the idea in that hair of
any length is an excrescence and a
deformity. The suggestive manner
which your beard planer, after
shaving, takes between his thumb
finger the half inch of hair
which has dared to express itself on
the back of your head and says,
is getting rather long,
makes you feel as you verging
on the disreputable turning in-
to an or a tramp. That does
the business. Off comes the

By one of those unexpected turns
of fortune which occur Albany as
often as, anywhere, a man who but
half a dozen years ago was a hod

wealthy. This change of financial
circumstances has the usual
feet upon the hod carrier's wife,
who enjoys decorating her adipose

which she ostentatiously announces

lady whom she has been trying to
