Fallina Health
Z=1
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with a distressui&C;ough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Xervons-
ness. I tried various remedies prescribed
,by different physieiaus, but became so
weak that I could not go up. stairs with -
cut stopping to rest. .1.1y friends reconi-
mended me to try A.yer's Sarsaparilla,
which I did, and 1 am now as healthy and
strong as ever. —Mrs. E. L. Williams.,

liave used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, in my
/amily, for Scrofula, and know, it it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. I have also
prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alter-
stive, aud must say that I honestly believe '
to be the best blood medicine ever
eompounded. —W. P. Fowler D. D. 8,a

Cured.
It would be impossible for me to de,
:scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
the care of various physicians and tried
a great ineny kinds of medicines, but '
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for
a short time, my headache disappeared,
and my stomach performed its duties more
perfectly. To -day my health is com-
pletely restored.—Mary Harley, Spring-

A New Pet for the Baby.
From Florida comes a suggestion an-
swer to the question "How shalltk Use
the baby?" Give hi:m a baby allig to
play with. The little creatures ariragreat
pets with children, who are not afraid to
take them in their hands and to their bo-
soms or lay them against their cheeks with
ritintte:g. caresses as they would a doll or pet
They are a cheap plaything, costing but
75 cents, and are very moderate in their
wants. A small tub, half filled with water,
and a board laid slanting wise—with one
end, in the water, upon which they can creep
up and sun themselves—and twice a week
a bit of beef the size of an English walnut,
is all they require to sustain existence com-
fortably. A cheap pet, and a charming one,
the children think, who every year take
hundreds of them North inperforatecrhoxes.
The first possession of them is a gre,at de-
light to their small owners, who in their
extravagant adrairations take them out of
their boxes in the hotel rooms and allow
them.to ran about freely.
The lively little reptile, with his cunning
head uplifted and black eyes peering Cur-
iously about, has a trick of darting sudden-
ly and disappearing instantaneously, under
the most careful watching. He has also a
fondness for a warm berth, and is more than
likely to turn up, upon search, in the folds
of baby's frock, or if the infant be asleep,
cozily nestled about the little ones neck,
with his poieted head rooted Meter the
plump chin. Should baby chance to waken
he will laugh and coo and clutch at his slip- ,
pery cradle mate, who will slip away from
the little fingers as if they were greased.
Children have no repugnitnee to the young
"gater ;" on the contrary, they love them
and encourage their familiarities and are
never tired of watching their droll, secret-
ive ways.
Killed By' a Spider's Bite.
Fritz Kibitz, one year and eight months
old, was playing about the floor of his home
at 650 Fifth street, in New York, about four
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when sudden-
ly he began screaming. His mother ran to
him and saw a big spider On his left hand.
The little fellow held the hand up and acted
as though he was in g,reatpain. /Vire, Kibitz
kilkd the spider, and, observing a small red
mark on the child' a hand, concluded that the
spider had bitten it. She applied some
lotion, but the child still continued rte cries.
A few hours later a small red ltiMp appeared
bh ths hand, which kept spreading until the
swelling extended to the arm. A. physician ,
was called in and measures were taken to ,
stop the spread of the poison His efforts I
were unsuccessful, and on Sunday the child's
arm alinoat to the shoulder was badly swoll.

and cried incessantly nail Sunday night, 1,
when he died, The spider was described as
having it small drab body.

On three runs over the measured mile last

knot, or over thirty miles an hour. In the
previous week, with the tide in her favor
and a forced draught, she positively accom-

a sacred institution, and a white man' is
as great a curiosity as a hippogriff or unicorn
would be. There whole families are wearily
grinding away at deists they had no more
to do with than the deluge. Some ancestor
they never saw or heard tell of drank to
much ineesoal one day, or lost a few dollars at
raonte, or was tempted to buy a gilded som-
brero on credit, and the mischief was done.
That they lived in the darkest sort of igno-
rance and misery goes without saying, else
some fine morning they would simply quit
being peons, and all the powers that be, at
least in Mexico, could not re-establish the
old regime."
A terrible outrage on the 'majesty of the
law was perpetrated at the Lewes Assizes,
England. Justice Field, when on the bench
entered into conversation with the Sheriff on
some matter of business. While His Lord-
ship was so engaged, an individual named
Bull, described as an agent of the Sheriff,
approached upon the other side, and with
incredible temerity touched—positively
touched—the Judge upon the shoulder.
Justice Field, though greatly incensed, re-
tained his presence of mind. He turned
and in a peremptory tone bade the officer
stand off; and then ordered him never under
anycircumstance to presume to address him
again except by theses Of affidavits. The
punishment was heavy, but none too heavy
for the orime—Labouchere.

One Beason for an Urgent Call into the
Country.
A French practitiener received a call one
afternoon, about five o'clock, from one of
his country patients, a farmer who had been
in to wn at market all day, who requested
him to drive over at mice to see a member
of his family. The case not being urgent,
the doetor replied he would go inthe morn
ing. "Oh, that will not do at all 1" said
the farmer. "1 ask you to go now because
I want a lift home, and to hire a trap will
cost more than your visit."
A Paying Business.
Very Young Man: You wouldn't think
it; but I've jaet paid seventy thousand dol-
lars in cash for a house, all made by my
own pluck and perseverance.
Young Lady : Really 1 What business
are you in?
Very Young Man : I'm a son in-law.
A Political Difficulty.
"Let us elect to our halls of legislature,"
shouted an elequent candidate, "men who
are endowed with common sense."
A momentary pause here for the senti-
ment to be applauded when a voice came
from the gallery "But you can't get such
men to run 1"
