Is a compound of tba virtues ol sarsaparil
la, Rtiilingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iodide of iiotasb and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-cleansing, ana life-sustaining
elements. It is the purest, safest,
and most effectual alterative medicine
known or available to the public. The sci
ences of medicine and chemistry havo never
produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so
jiotent to cure all diseases resulting from
impure blood. It cures Scrofula and
all scrofulous diseases. Erysipelas,
Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples
and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches,
Bolls, Tumors, Tetter, Humors,
Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm,
Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial
Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak
nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice,
Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia,
Emaciation, and General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange
ment and decay. It stimulates and enliyens
the vital functions, promotes energy and
strength, restores and preserves health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from impurity of the
blood need despair who will give Ayeb's
Sars vparilla a fair trial.
It is folly to experiment with the numer
ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues, offered as
blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. Ayeb's Sarsapakilla is a
medicine of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable blood-purifier known.
Physicians know its composition, and pre
scribe it. It has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified confi
dence of millions whom it has benefited.

"ONE PRICE TO ALL"
Dear Reader. We know yoti have very frequently of late read the
above motto in the announcements ef newly opening stores, and have
found too often that it meant "one price" to Mrs. Paycsah end "another
price" to Mr. Chargett, and still "another price" to Mr. Slowpay. Nat
urally, when you find out all these things you lose faith In new "one price"
stores.
"WE SEL1 ONLY FOR CASH."
This quotation Is doubtless very familiar, also lu new advertise
ment?, but expei ieuce baa proved to moat of you that Mr. lawyer could
buy goods ou time, but Mrs. Carpenter could not, and Mr. Rich farmer
could obtain credit, while Mr. Peorfarmer must pay cash for his goods,
and, as a result, all must pay more for goods than If the merchant would
do a square caA business, alnce it needs no argument to prove that the
one who does rally a strictly cash business can' and ,nut undersell all
others.
"No Goods Misrepresented."
This can be seen conspicuously posted In very many stores, and yet
m.nn iimM k.uavAii nntiid that Mrs. Sharo I who Is pretty well
posted) would really get a nice all wool dress cheap, while Mrs. Notposted,
(who does not know so much about goods, and relies on the salesman) piya
V a . . . - .lu. nn Anil a.unnt-
the same amount 01 money ior a mew an ww , wi; -ually
the greater pari of wool la cotton, and again Mr. Farmer pays for a
.i.ii wii Milt nf ninth and wonders why they turn color and wear
so much like cotton goods, when be was assured by Ihe merchant that U
'was warranted". These things tend to destroy confidence In merchants
as a matter of course. We know then that you have read and beard all
of these nico sounding phrases, and do not deceive onrsetvoa with the
idea that it is something new to say what others have said before as, but
If we do just exactly as we promise that will Indeed be something new to
you, and as our record and our reputation as merchants on the coast for the
past years will be sufficient guarantee that we always fulfill our prem
ises we unhesitatingly declare
We have located here permanently, having leased the building and

Once In an ancient city, whose name I no
longer remember,
Raised aloft on a columu, a hrazon Hiatus
of Justice
Stood In the public BatMes, upholding the
scales in Its left hand,
Ami in its right a tWOtd, as an emhlem

Over the laws of tbo land, aud the huds

Kvou the bird had built their iioIh in tin.
fecales of the balsnce,
Having no roar of the sword that tl4tid
in the sunshine above them,
But lu the con r mc of time tho law of the
land were corrupted ;
alight took the place of right, and the
weak were oppressed, and the mighty
Kulol with an Iron rod. Then It chanced
in a nobleman 'n palace
That a necklace of pearh wa lost, and ere
long a susplolou
hell on an orphan girl who It vol at uuid
in the household,
Sli-, after form of trial condemned to Ule
ou the scaffold,
Patleutly mot her doom at the foot of tin
Ntatue of J untie.
An In har Ketbftr in heaven her IiiimmhiiiI

Lo ! o'r the city a teuifioMt roau ; and the
uoltM of the thunder
Hinote the statute of bronse, and hurled
In warth from Its left baud
Dowu on the pavement below the clatter

Aad In the hollow thereof wai found the

Into whose clay-built walla the necklace

A h .pirr Ike SelrS ArrlSral ml
M. Foumiei wrote a bo k on events
which never bapiMined, and Jmi Hea-
conaheld 'a fathor was the author of a
iearaed essay on history which night
bare been enacted. An equally curious
volume might be penned on trifles
which have determined "rest events.
It was bu. a trifle which gavo Spain
tor so many generations the lordabip of
the New World, and enable her by the
wealth which abe derived from that
source to become the most powerful
nation in Kuroiw. Jt is well known
that Columbus, dispirited by the refu
sals he wet at so many courts, dispatch
ed his brother lUrtolouieo to ask aid
from Henry VII of Kngland. Hut on
the way the meaaenger fell in the hands
of pirates, and by tb time he reached
Ixmdun was so destitute he bed to try
and earn the money to clothe himself
in proiier btvlc before he could ho pre
rated at court, lint by this time it
was too lat. h'rn the fact that rcr-
ditiacd aud lttclU supplied the funds
to rump the exiKtliLion was mainly
due U the accident. lht Juin i'. n

hapMued to be SBSing st the Very
moment when the eary mariner was
koockingal the door of the l. i Itabida
tuouastry to beg a little hi cad and
WNtec foi his Imv l)igo, end was
mii nek with the nobltf fact of the dusty
l-datrian. Ilattdoraeo Cjlon reached
I. .in Ion in time, had Cbristoval been
by any chance a little later or a little
earlier at tho momtatry door, the ftt
of Europe might have been changed
snd the destiny of the Anglo-H.ixon
mce sllersd.
ALMOST KKVOIX'TIOSIZKU.
Tntee centuries later it was sgain
nearly tevolutioiiixed, for in 1H06 the
Kngluh beld Bueuos Avres, snd it
is uo secret that Napoleon was almost
persuaded to abandon Europe as a field
for his ambition, and try what he could
accomplish in the way of carrying out
an empire among the dissatislied prov
inces of Sou lb America. Wbeu citi-
xen Bonaparte seemed little likely to
sit on the throne of lui Capet it
was on the oint of offering his sword
to the Sultan, as at a later period Von
Moltke actually did. It is curious to
speculate what would now hae been
the present state of the Eastern ques
tion had Napoleon carried his inten
tions into eflect, or Hiipiostng thai
Moltke bad remained in the Turkish
service whether the Danish war would
have been fought, or Prussia's suprem
acy established at Sadowa or Sedan.
The cropping of Louis VI Pa chin
brought on three centuries of bloodshed,
and a sarcastic remark of Frederick
the Great on Elizabeth Petrovna, ot
Russia, roused that virtuous Enipres-t
to take such a vigorous part in the
Seven Years' war that at one time
Prussia seemed well-nigh strickened
unto death. Even Catherine II pro
foundly suspicious of Potsdam after the
scandal about tjueen Elizabeth carefully
examined her husband's correspondence
before she concluded an alliance with
the royal letter writer. It is hardly
forty years since Louis Philippe
threatenf d war against the Texan He
public because an irate citizen had
shot the trespassing pigs of the French
Embassador. As it was he prevented
the Lone Star sovereignty from float
ing European loan, and thus the King
snd the pigs combined hastened the an
nexation of Texas to the United States.
The Dutch are said to have ''jockeyed"
us out of Malacca in exchange for Java
by representing on the map, which our
simple minded enovya took lor granted,
the one territory as large and the other
as small, and among tho most firmly
traditions of Ameritan diplomacy is
one which represents the English csm
missiwners as agreeing to the surrender
of Oregon, "because a country in which
a salmon does not. rise to a fly cannot
be worth much." LiMM have been

I.EAD1XO TO VOCATIONS.
Out if trifles havo decided tho falo
of laws and nations, accidents qUslly
HUisll have caused men to follow pur
suits the results of which have been
not much leas moment jus to culture
and civilization. Father Malebranehe
devoted himself to reading philosophy
after reading DesoarWW "L'liotnme;"
Oowley became a poot owing to his'
perusal of Sienser's "Fsery Queen,'
and Sir Joshua Reynolds had never
thought of painting until lticliardson's

unsuccessful as a shop ko per iu J I iav
paniols, and found it necHSMiry to flee
to the mainlsnd, concesled from hit
creditor in a cask on boa id Eucisco'a
.enseal, and it is certain that had Cortez
become a well-briefed lawyer in Bala
manoa he would never have lived to
proudly tell Charles V that be had
given him more provinces than his
father had left him citiee. Ignatius
1oyola was a soldier, and tho Order
of Jesuits might never have been
founded had he not accident ly b guiled
the tedium of inaction nercaaitated by
a wound with reading "Tbe Lives of
Saints,'' Cibbon determined to write
bia famoua work after listening t tbe

of Jupiter, at Kome; aud La Foutaine
was stimulated to cultivate literature
after bearing some verses of Malhcrbe.

lieve tho little girl ha b id a clean

"Perhaps her mother hasn't had
time to attend to her," volunteered a
young giil of the company; "she looks
tired out.
"Oh, she has had time to attend to
ber own child; he is aent off to school
every morning spick and span chain,
while the ateiMlauhtcr plays in tin-
dirt all day.
4 She seem happy enough," remark
ed the young girl before mentioned.
"Welt she isn't," Kaid a vinegar
foeed woman who was one of the com
pany invited to tea at the widow
llrowii'a. "I heard her myself, the
other day run into the house, crying in
the uiost pitim! voice I ever heard.
'Mammal Mamma! I want rav mam

"Dreadful!' said Mrs. Biown. "She
ought to lie talk- I with, and I, for one
would like to give her a piece of my
mind."
'Why don't vou go right over now,
Mrs. Brown," suggested the vinegar
faottd SBomen, who was alwsys ready to
set some one on. "There is no time
like the present for doing a good deed."
"1 believe I will," answered the
widow. "I will make an excuse by
taking a peice of hom y cake; they ain't
got settled yet."
Mrs. Drown stepped across with the
plate of honey cake, and while she was
gone the ladies kept up a buzz in
which "cruel stepmother," "neglected
duty," "rights of childhood, etc., were
plainly discernible. Presently Mrs.
Brown was seen wending her way back
cake and ull.
"Been snubbed," suggested the
young girl visitor.
"Looks sot down about si f thin,"
urged another member.
"She's done her dooty," faid tho
vipesrar-faced :
"What did she sayV exclaimed all
in a breath.
Mrs. Brown banged tho honey cike
plate on the melodecn; then sho took
off her sun hat and tanned her face
with it, and looked vindictively at the
company.
"She said sho d be nine i obliga I to
us if we'd mind our own business and
let her do the mmc, and the poor little
injured innocent was her own child,

"Well, you've done your doty,"
said tho vinegar-faced as she trimmed
down a seam in ber husbands new

MtUtr l)tmorrn
Of course you have Ucn thinking fsj
what we are to wear thta fall and win
ter and I am happy in give yon sch
early information that you will know
quite as soon as the average iw
Yorker.
This is in consequence of my having
been sllowed to look over Trd and
Taylor's sample ''Ooka.
Among rattns the prevalence of
puh, chiefly in etripes or squares, but
sometimes too in large floral figures is
very LOticable. iloire or watered
satins too arc extremely fashionable
In truth you can bardly mistaare a
moire design for they c one in stripes
extending all over the am face in large r
or smaller ripjdinga, or united with
plush or brocaded Rtris. Not onlv
sie these rich fabrics coBibined with
plain satin or velvet for dressy toilettes;
but they serve ss torn lies on fine wool
ten costumes, while for sncb purpose
variety is given by plush combined
with metal threads that .'ie Habedded
at narrow intervals.
New plaid-l or strijM -1 woollen aie
also brought out in great vatiety to be
combined with plain wools in all ' the
fashionable color, browae. garnet, wine,
dark blue or brown. Theie jdaided
or striped wools arc prominent amon
fall imjsirtution-, and are novel, not
only by reason of tbe new colors har
monizing with tbe handsome plain
wools, but by new airangemenis of
bars and columns.
Cheviot, too, is very fashionable.
It has a loose twill, and in small in
distinct checks or atrijsts will be made
in simply shaped costumes without
combination. Itnt more dressy chev is
is wrought with plush or moire satin
stripes, while to complete the outfit m
clouded cheviot, in colors, to raateb. i
provided. These coat i. me will be
very stylish, yet not wore Be than
cheviots that have broad atri(ss tawing
up a par t of the breadth. These lattor
are intended for the pILoa? (plaited)
effect that are amongst newest i'lsas.
Tbe stripes are laid in plaits so that
one color appears on the outside while
the other shows from beneath in gl imp.
only. .
Tbe taansiticu in color are BiiUbead
sO that tbey can 13 worn by -r ma -i
quiet taste. Brighter woollen S art
woven in alternations of one plain-,
broad stripe and one of sVmcsJ .hrsin
and tbese are diajtoscl in pliase styie,
either the floral stri?e appearing on
the outside with the plain color peep
ing from below, or vie. versa, of course
there is plain material to match.
. . THE XEW EOVNET,
is eon.s;yi,jui in millinery an-l it
in black, wbtfCBod eliew c .lo.-s. As
to shape, on may tssjist asaoaig the
poke famiiy, quaint in onSifSs wth .
high jointed crow- on selection tsffbe
msde among the amaiier cottage and
caiiate bonnets. In pokes, there is
considerable diversity, since some
crowns are more cocsptcuously pointed
than others and There are notable dif
ferences in size. But most of them
arc quite lsrge, ?s are often very
large ; having broad, pquare crowns
with wide brims trimmed up on the
left able. Yet sgain we see derbys
aad ttttl.an. pluah or velvet are the
materials used aud are laid plainly on
the jsikes and usually en the iiu!l
bonnets as well. For trimming, we
have pluah, satin, velvet and ribbon
while by way of finish, it is feathers,
feathers, feathers. Ostrich pi u mm of
such length that they must be artifici
ally prolonged, sweep around the huge
hats but on bonnetr, a cluster of tips is
preferred. Colors iu otrich leathers
are frequently a very jumble two or
three mixed in a hap hazard way but
sometimes they ate of one color or
shaded from dark to light. Feathers
are in bands, beasts with heads or en
tire birds from a large dove or paroquet
down to a humming bird are seen but
are not as fashionable as band. Cock's
plumage is also on new hats but is
dyed iu bronze, garnet, o'ive and other
new shades.
NEW DESIGNS.
For the checked cheviots that should
be plain in outline with "tailor finish,"
there is nothing more suitable than
the Sutherland costume having a short
skirt trimmed with a deep, cathercd
flounce, overtkiit with fullback drap
ery, apron front and tuckel basque
confined by a belt. Stout people
would do liette.- to select a plain
cheviot or some one of the new wo 1
either finished with stripes or touches
of other material and for them, a pla n
fitting corsage h the rather a judicious
choice. Here wc find the Baroune
polonaise arranged over a a) ort walk
ing skirt trimmed with tleep plaitings.
The fronts are cut in one piece 'falling
over a shawl shaped point at the left
and draped high at the si dep. The
"Bichmond" is a new, tight fitting
jacket cut away below the waist, turn
ed back in reverse above and fastened
by a single large button at the waist.
The Etelka is a dressy mantilet in ch
ile shape with shirring at tbe neck
aid in a pleat on behind.
