For Stomach and liver troubles, and for the cure of headache caused by these derangements, Ayer's Pills cannot be equaled.

"Boys," said a toadies in a Sunday school,"can any of you quote a verse from soraptura to prove that it is wrong for a maf to have two wires?" He paused, and after a moment or two a bright boy raised his hand. '`Well, Thomas," said the teacher encouragingly. Thomas stood up and said: "No man can serve two mas- ters."

Dr. Matthew Wood of Philadelphia has gathered a mass of evidence in the at- tempt to prove that Charles Beck Hirst and not Edgar Allen Poe was the author of "The Raven." Hirst and Poe were for a long time intimate friends, and the law office of the former in Philadelphia was one of the favorite resorts of the latter. Many times during his later years Hirst declared that he wrote "The Raven," and that Poe's only hand in the matter was to make slight changes and add a few lines. He had a manuscript copy, of the poom, which was almost entirely in his own handwriting—only a small portion in that of Poe. But Hirst was very careless as to the paternity of his poems, and Dr. Woods, after years of research, has failed to find some that were highly spoken of and sharply criticized by his contemporar- ies. This is notably the case with "The Antediluvians." Briefly stated, Dr. Wood's argument for Hirst is: 1. Hirst's claim that he wrote "The Raven." 2. That eight years before "The Raven" appeared Hirst wrote a poem ("The Unseen River") in the same peculiar measure. 3. That another of his poems ("Eleanore") suggests the Lenore of "Tho Raven." 4. That Hirst wait one of the most expert ornithologists of his day and passionately devoted to the study, writing of "The Wren," "The Song Sparrow," "The Falcon,"The Eagle," "The Owl," "The Robin,' and many others. 5. That Hirst thoroughly well knew the raven and its peculiar. ways, which Poe did not, and that no one un- familiar with the bird could have pro- duced the marvelously true -to -nature picture which "The Raven" presents. 6. "The Raven" was published anonymously in January, 1845, not long after the friend- ship between Hirst and Poe had been broken, and Dr. Wood sees in the signa- tures Quarles a hint of the quarrel be- tween them.—Philadelphia Press. Sir Walter Raleigh's courtesy in throwing his cloak in the mud for Queen Elizabeth to step on was char- acteristic of his usual behavior toward ladies. After all, true beauty is the inner spirit shining through the face. George Eliott paid Romoia the highest com- pliment when he says of her: "Her beauty is the necessary consequence of her nature." The swagger miss now wears at her belt a new style of scent bottle. It is a spray affair that works by pushing down a little knob, instead of a rubber bulb. The pressure sends out a fine shower of iefreshing liquid into the air, or even against the face. Captain Sweeney, U. S. A., San Diego, Cal.

The farthingale, the parent of the latter day hoopskirt, was born under Francis I., about 1530, and marked the end of the middle ages more com- pletely than any political change.

The late Lord Randolph Churchill had six sisters, each one of whom mar- ried remarkably well, although they were by no means beauties. There is, perhaps, no record of six sisters, and plain girls with extravagant tastes and no money, having been thus happi- ly married to young men, each one remarkably rich and in some instauces a millionaire. It has been calculated that the six married sisters own, through their husbands, sixteen mil - ]ions of money. A CALAMITY AVERTED. An accident at St.Marys with almost fatal results. llreathiug Carbonic Acid. It is well known that a very much larg- er proportion of carbonic acid than usual- ly exists in the atmosphere can be in- haled with impunity, but only recently have we been aware of the large quantity that can be breathed without actual danger. Ordinary fresb air contains by four parts in 10 000, yet the carbonic acid has to reaoh three per cent, or 100 times the usual quantity before any difference is noticed in the respiration. As the percentage rises the person breathing it be- gins to pant, but with air containing as much as ten per oent only a headache is produced, although the panting is violent. The actual danger point is not reached until the carbonic acid rises to eighteen per cent. Foul air in a room where a number of permits are present is not dangerous on account of the carbonic acid it contains, but owing to a poisonous organic sub- stance given off with the breath. Car- bonic acid is not a direct poison, but when the danger point is reached the air can take none from the blood in the lungs, so that the fires of the human engine are ex- tinguished by their own smoke, as it were. It is really wonderful what the human engine will endure, for a candle goes out when the oxygen in the ale sinks to 18.6, instead of the usual twenty per sent, and the carbonic acid rises to 2.6.— Okambers' Journal.

(From the St. Mary's Argue.) Oats and Scotland", When Dr. Johnston had defined oats as a "grain which In England to generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people," Lord Eltbank triumphantly retorted, "But where will you find such horses and such men?" We may admire the patriotism but we must regret the loyal mendacity of his lordship, for he must have known how dirty, slow and slovenly his rural countrymen wows. The food of the people was poor, ger they had nothing to nook except oat and barley meal and greens from their yard, for no other vegetables were known, and beef or mutton they seldom saw, and pigs' flesh they would not eat if they had it. Their drink was fermented whey, kept for a year in barrels, or ale made from oats and heather. Milk they rarely had, for the meagre cows provided only two or three pints a day, and that was kept sour from being in foul dishes. So averse were the people to cleanliness that the butter owed its consistency to the number of cows' hairs in it and was churnd in kirns, whioh were kept filthy because it was "uncanny" to wash thom. The men olad in their rugged, home wov- en plaiding coat, with shirts changed twice a year—at Martinmas and Whit Sunday—and fent without shoes, save os. Sabbath and in winter snow, were mis- erably dirty, and their skin hard and withered from exposure outside and the peat reek indoors and subjeot to the ob- noxious diseases that dirt alone engend- ers.—Scottish Review. How different are the felinge that take possession of one as they reaii the partiou- ars of some great railway or steamship disaster where scores of lives with whom we have no acquaintance have been lost, and reading the particulars of the runaway of a span of horses attached to a carriage from whioh one of our acquaintances has been thrown and killed. In the former case, although the loss of life has been great, you say "Isn't it terrible?" but in a few days the affair has probably passed from mind, while in the latter instance months after you could recount the minutest particulars of the runaway. And so it it when we read he particulars of cures really remarkable, but because we are not interested in the person restored the facts are soon forgot- ten. But when a Dasa can be submitted right at home, with whioh a large number of our readers are familiar, it will, we are quite sure, be of speoial interest and carry conviction. Our readers will remember that over two years sgo while Mr. Gideon Elliot, James street St. Mary's, was teaming ashes he was thrown from a load and received sash severe injuries to his spine that he was un- able to walk or lie down in bed. He suf- fered`great pain in his back. For long months he lived night and day in a chair, not able to do the slightest thing to help himself. And with no prospect of help be- fore him he began to feel that life was a burden and he had no desire to live. Two physicians attended him, but after exhaust- ing their powers Mr Elliott was told that "if he had anything he wanted settled, he had better attend to it at once," the last doctor telling him he could not be cured. To an Argus representative Mr Elliott gave the above facts and said that after having suffered a great deal of pain, and notwith- standing he was tcld he was incurable, he determined to try the Pink Pill treatment, and purchased a dozen boxes of the re- nowned Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Inside of three weeks he began to feel the effects of the pills and now most emphatically declares that they have made him as well as he is to -day. When he started taking them he was not able to help himself in any way. but during the past fall he took up the potatoes in his garden, and can now do all the chores around his house. This is a wonderful change in a man who spent months in a chair unable to help himself or even to liedown,and who was told by physicians that his case was hopeless, and it is another trophy added to the many victories of Dr Williams' Pink Pills over disease. Dr Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shat- tered nerves. They are an unfailing spec- ific for locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu- matism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, ner- vous prostration, all diseases depending upon vitiating humors in the blood such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe- males, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all forms arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of any nature. Dr. Williams's Pink Pills are alewifao• tared by the Dr Williams' Medicine Com- pany, Brockville, Ont., and Schenetady, N. Y., and sold in boxes (never in lcose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this shape), at 50c. a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be bad of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Me- dicine Company, at either address. Two Story Sidewalks. A plan has been proposed by George D. Boulton, of the First National Bank at Chicago, for increasing the sidewalk cap- acity of that city. Mr. Boulton had in mind particularly the sidewalks on Wab- ash Avenue, but after carrying the plan to its logical conclusion, he became con- vinood that it can be put into no effect other down -town streets. The plan pro- vides for a continuous duplicate walk above the present sidewalk, on each side of Wabash Avenue, from Lake Street to Congress, the walk to be constructed of glees end iron, ornamental in its charac- ter, and to be level with the second story of the buildings adjacent thereto.—Paving Mrs Burnett's "Little Lord Fanntle- roy" has just been brought out in a French translation at the Comedie Parisienne as '-Le Petit Lord" With great success.

A new sort of ornamental glass is now made in Paris by B. M. Bay, which he calls by the name of hoar- frost glass, "verse Fivre," from the pattern upon it, which resembles the feathery forms traced by frost on the inside windows in cold weather. The process of making the glass is simple.

The Empress Josephine's Kjpearanoe. She had thin brown hair, a complexion neither fresh nor faded, expressive eyes, A small retrousse nose, a pretty mouth and a voice that charmed all listeners. She was rather undersized, but her figure was so perfeotly proportioned as to give the impression of height and suppleness. Its charms were scarcely concealed by tho clothing she worn, made as it was in the suggestive fashion of the day, with no support to the form but a belt, and as scanty about her shoulders as it was about her shapely feet. It appears to have been her elegance and her manners as well as her sensuality which overpowered Bona- parte, for he described her as having "the calm and dignified demeanor which be- longs to the old regime. "—Century Maga- zine. A Writer's Trials. "The man who writes," remarked young fellow who has done a good deal of work for newspapers and periodioal, "has grief the great world wots not of." "For instance?" inquired his listener. "In respeot to several things," he went on wearily. "If I happen to write a yeas in an album for some of my autograph friends, the first thing they ask is 'Is that original?' when at the very time they can read their own names on it or a des- cription of themselves. Then again if I send anything to anybody—it doesn't make any difference what it is—that per- son gets the idea somehow that I wrote it, and the first question is, "Did you write it?" Sometimes I send my own things, and then the question is not so inappropriate, but when I send something by some great writer, and the same old question comes to me, I want to rise up and hit somebody over the head. By jove," he concluded, striding up and down the room, "do you know that last week I gave a handsomely printed copy of 'Beautiful Snow' to an acquaintance, and as sure as you are alive sho looked over it a moment and exclaimed: 'Oh, isn't it charming? Did you write it? Now what do you think of that sort of thing?" and the rising genius kicked an ottoman quite over the goal.—Detrolt Free Press: An Apt Comparison. The man who boasts that he works with his head instead of his hands is respectfully reminded that the woodpecker does the same and is the biggest kind of a bore at that.—Waterloo Courier. • White Stockings and Black. Fifty years ago the female domestic servant could rarely afford to wear, save on high days or holidays, a pair of white stockings; she either knitted coarse ribbed blue worsted stockings for herself, or she bought black stockings. Those sable hose, fregently with an orifice in one heel, were the distinguishing badge of the lodging -house "slavoy ;" but about twenty years ago a remarkable sumptuary change came over the upper and lower sections of English female society. White stockings, save for balls, were suddenly repudiated, and blaok silk hose for ladies and ohtldren became the almost universal wear. Tho French are extremely fond of asserting that they set the fashions to the world at large. I contend that, in a vast number of instances, we have prescribed patterns to the French. And I was amused lately at reading, in the Paris Figaro, an article vehemently protesting against the partonage by French ladies of the hideous mode Britannique of les bas noire.—G. A.
