THE GETTING IT D O WJf is bad enough, with the ordinary pill. Bat the hav ing it down is worse. And, after all the disturbance, there's only a little temporary good. From beginning to end, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are better. Theyre the smallest and easiest to take tiny, sugar - coated granules that any child is readv for. Then they do their work so easily nd so naturally that it lasts. They absolutely and permanently cure Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, Sick and Bilious Head aches, and all derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. -, They don't shock and weaken the system, like the huge, old-fashioned pills. And they're more effective. One little Pellet for a corrective or laxative three for a cathartic. , They're guaranteed to give satis faction, or your money is returned. The makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy say : " If we can't cure your Catarrh, no matter what your case is, we'll pay you $500 in cash." Now you can see what is- said of other remedies, and decide which is most likely to cure you. Costs only 50 cents. THEY LIVE IN BOATS. Hundreds of Families Float Up and Down the Great Rivers. A Memphis writer introduces to th public a strange population who are counted as residents of that city, al though most of them were born on the Mississippi or one of the streams empty ing into it, and have never lived on dry land. The people occupy a floating set tlement of house boats. The boats are sometimes named, and many of them are neatly painted and show signs of comfortable furnishings, judging from lace curtains at the windows and pic tures to be seen hanging on the walls of the interior. The colony is made up of representa- ' tives from twenty odd states drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries. Moored side by side one hundred and fifty boats were counted by the writer, who learned that some of the families began their navigation of the river as far north as Montana. It is not a fixed population, for, although most of the boats have been anchored at Memphis a long time, the absence of one of the families is noted now and then, and the inquirer is told that the head of the liouse has changed his habitat to New Orleans or some other river city. The house-boat owner, of course, pays no rent. To escape it he took to the water. His food consists chiefly of fish, at catching which he is an adept. lie knows better than anybody else where to find the cat, the buffalo, the perch and innumerable other fish. Driftwood serves him for fuel, and clothes, tobac co, spirits and a few necessaries are se cured by an occasional day's labor as a Uongshoreman,roustaboutor farm hand. IN THE AZORES. There Is Romance to lie Found Hidden In Bloody History. . In 15S0 the Azores came under the power of Spain, and in the history of the next twenty years their name is fre quent as the favorite battleground of ! the English and Spanish fleets. The partiality was, indeed, according to Macmillan's Magazine, mainly on the side of the former, and for a good reason. Theso islands lay right in the track of all vessels sailing to and from that.enchanted region known then to all men as the -Spanish Main. On the bighest peak of Terceira, whence in clear weather the sea could be scanned for leagues around, were raised two columns, and by them a man watched night and day. When he saw any sails approaching from the west he set a flag upon the western column, one for each sail; if they came from the east a simi lar sign was . set up on the eastern col umn. D.ither in those days came up out of the mysterious western seas the great argosies laden with gold a&l silver and jewels, with silks and spices and rare woods, wrung r,t the cost of thousands of harmless lives and cruelties unspeak able from the fair lands which lie . be tween the waters of the Caribbean sea and the giant wall of the Andes. And bather, when England, too, began to ' turn her eyes to El Dorado, came the great war galleons of Spain and Portu gal to meet these precious cargoes and convey them safe into Lisbon or Cadiz before those terrible English sea wolves could get scent of the prize. HEADS ARE BIGGER NOW. Cranlums of All Nations, Though Differ ent, Are Enlarging Together. It is interesting to observe how the shape of a man's head acts as an index to bis nationality that is, if you know how to consult the index. As a proof of this, notice how long and narrow the average American head is. Hats made in England will not fit such a head at all, the head being so long "fore and aft" as to make the hat too wide at the sides. With the German it is the re verse, if any difference. The head of a true Ehinelander is wide ' at the tem ples; if the hat is the exact length, in nine cases out of ten it has to be stretched sideways in order to make it fit. English heads are wide, but not so pronounced as those of the Germans. There is more of a "sliding scale" with them as to the relative length and breadth. The Celtic head is almost in-, variably round or oval, and without pronounced - phrenological "bumps." t or general smoothness of the cranial protuberance, the Italian comes next to the Celts, either of the two besting' the : classic Greeks in that respect. Odd as 'it may seem, anatomists declare that 'lhe Turkish skull is almost identical in shape, size, etc., with, that of the enlightened nineteenth century inhab itant of the United States. Hat deal- ers, such as makers, furnishers, etc, 'say that the heads of all nations are ' gradually growing larger. In 1860 the average hat used was 6; to-day it is7K. CAT AND WEASEL. Pussy Began the right. But Gave It Up s a Bafd Job. Fuss had been watching a wheat stack which yields her toll of a rat per night, and one evening a weasel made some inquiries. By and by the weasel, in the pursuit of a rat, popped out of a hole under the stack, and puss instantly pounced upon it, and caught it, happily enough for her, found the neck. Somewhat dubious, it would appear, as to what manner of rat she had in her mouth, she brought it into the house, '"half throttled, and began mewing loud ly. Presently the weasel revived, and began to move away, puss instantly fol lowing in pursuit; but she had caught a tartar. The little creature, with wide-open mouth, and uttering a sharp, repeated sound, like "kek, kek, kek," sprang straight at pussy's nose, just missing it, and this she did again and again. Its fury was unbounded, and it was totally fearless. Sometimes pussy only saved herself by a high jump and had to retreat, the weasel viciously following, once corner ing pussy and forcing her to take a high arched spring. ' For several minutes the fight went on until pussy was fairly frightened into retreat. The weasel was ap parently about one-twentieth of the at's size, but its viciousness and cour age were beyond comparison. MADE HIS OWN STORY. JL Journalist Insulted 3Ian, Killed Him and Wrote His Obituary. A desperate duel was fought one day in August, 1886, by two girls about eighteen years of age Senoritas Es pinoza and Morena employed at the tobacco factory in Seville, that work shop in front of which the first act of "Carmen" is supposed to eventuate. Their seconds were men, who fur nished each girl with a dirk, after which they were blindfolded find placed in an unlightod room for half an hour I and commanded to 'Fisrht!" Then the; room was locked and the seconds joined the other employes at dinner, after which they opened the door and found both girls alive, but mortally wounded. One of the combatant:, was Out in twenty-seven different plaecs. and was bleeding to death, while the other re ceived severe wounds in ten and fatal ones in two places. The seconds at tempted to escape, biit were arrested and sent to prison for six months. The girls never spoke after the door was opened, but one of tTiein lived in great agony for several hours, says the Chi j cago Herald. ' Near Madrid, December 10, 1890, Capt. Romero and Capt. Murillo fon-rlit with sabers, and both were fright r.:l!y injured and maimed for life. Subse quently the principals and their sec onds (all officers) wete arrested, and the former were dismissed from the army and the latter filled. One of the latter, after paying his iinc, challenged the magistrate who fined him, who ae : cepted and received three wounds, lie j again lined the ofiicer and was again I challenged, and fought with pistols, j killing the officer at the first fire. It is a fact, although I cannot pre sent names or dates, that a Parisian scribe grossly insulted an army olliccr , in the morning edition of his paper, fought and killed him at noon, and pub- lished a. graphic description of the whole affair in his evening issue. Quite as good a little story is that in which, at an aristocratic party in Vien na, a lady dropped a bouquet and a gen tleman following in a Waltz kicked it to one side so that it would not be stepped upon, and was challenged and wounded by the escort of the lady who dropped the flowers, and was afterward nursed by and married to the lady her self. "Many of the citizens of Rainsville, In diana, are never without a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house," Bays Jacob Brown, the leading merchant of the place. This remedy has proven of so much value- for colds, croup and whooping cough in children that few mothers who know its worth are willing to be without it. For eale by Blakeley & Houghton druggists.
