will do you u much good as the
ne that bays Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. This is what you get with
them : An absolute and permanent
eure for Constipation, Indigestion,
Bilious Attacks, Sick and Bilious
Headaches, and all derangements of
.the liver, stomach, and bowels. Not
just temporary relief, and then a
worse condition afterward but help
that lasts.
Pleasant help, too. These sugar
- ooated little Pellets are the smallest,
the easiest to take, and the easiest in
the way they act.. No griping, no
; violence, no disturbance to the sys
vtem, diet or occupation.
They come in sealed vials, which
"keeps them always fresh and relia
ble ; a convenient and perfect vest
pocket remedy. They're the cheap
est pills you can boy.
There's nothing left of Catarrh
when you use Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. The worst cases yield to
its mild, soothing, cleansing and
healing properties.
GIRLS WHO .SELL THEIR HAIR.
They Sometimes Do It to Acquire a tittle
lUn Money.
'.'Do we have many pirls come to sell
their hair? Well, I should so, but we
don't make a business of buying on ac
count of the risk we would have to run,"
said a Pittsburgh hair dealer to a Dis
patch representative, recently. "I have
had girls come to me and offer to sell
their hair as it was on their heads. Ko,
they don't get good priees one dollar
and fifty to two dollars and fifty cents
being1 as much as I ever gave. I know
of one case, however, where a well
( known society woman took a fancy to
the hair of a young lady she met acci
dentally and she paid the highest price
I have ever known for a head of hair.
.The young lady in question had a lux
uriant growth of golden-brown hair
.and one day she was approached by
this lady, who was compelled to use
false hair, who said to-her: 'Miss ,
if at any time you desire to part with
your hair, you can find a customer in
me.' The young lady was in needof
pin money at the time' and said: 'Well,
I am not particular about keeping it
now, as it is a little too light for my
taste.' So she agreed to have ber hair
cut and in payment received eight dol
lars and a half. If girls could always
. get such a sum for their flowing locks
there would be a great many more
short-haired young ladies about the
city."
"I know an old soldier who. had
chronic diarrhcea ot long standing to
have been permanently cured by taking
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhcea Remedy," says Edward Shum
. pik, a prominent druggist of Minnea
polis, Minn. "I have sold the remedy
in this city for seven years and consider
it superior to any other medicine now
on the market 'for bowel complaints."

thought of was Chamberlain's Colic,

The Earth Enveloped In a Mys
terious Darkness.
Sages and Scientists Alike at Fault for
an Explanation of the Phenomenon
Which Filled the People
with Terror.
. The most memorable phenome non of
the heavens in modern times was that
day of remarkable darkness over New
England May 19, 1781. That day, says
a writer in the Chicago Times, made a
more profound impression, has been
more written and talked about, than
all the auroras, comets and meteoric
showers within the last Ave centuries.
The great astronomer Herschel placed
it in the domain of the unexplainable.
So pronounced was the darkness, that
settled down over the earth that fowls
went to their roosts, horses and cattle
showed distress, dogs whined, and
thousands of persons anticipated the
dawn of doom. The great .colonial
struggle for American independence
was still in progress, the federal union
was not yet established; there was
that chaotic state that generally pre
cedes great changes, and there " was
considerable rancor in the minds of the
people. '
Patriot and royalist each regarded
the ominous sky and the threatening
gloom as the evidence of Heaven's .'dis
pleasure against the other, and the
general conclusion was that the im
pending mystery would culminate in
the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. The
ignorant gave way to. all sorts' of gro
tesque conjectures, and the few pro
founder minds were unable to advance
.any rational explanation of the very
unusual occurrence.
The legislature of Connecticut was
in session on this ill-omened day, and
most of the members made no secret
of their belief that now had come the
great day foretold in the apocalyptic
vision. . A member got up and pro
posed adjournment. The matter being
open for discussion a legislator named
Davenport arose and said: -
"Mr. Speaker, it is either the day of
judgment or it is not. If it is not there
is no need of adjournment; if it is, I de
sire to be found doing my duty. Ijet
candles be brought and let business
continue."
But the motion to adjourn was deci
sively carried, and the lawmakers who
fashioned the laws for the "men of
steady habits" went forth from their
chamber to gaze at the weird and som
ber sky.
It was Friday and the intensity be
gan soon after ten o'clock a. m. and
continued till past the middle of the
following night. The wind was from
the southwest, and the darkness seemed
to come with it from that direction. It
soon became too dark to read common
print readily, and candles were lighted
in order to attend to household duties.
After a time the breeze subsided; a
dead calm followed and added to the
solemnity. The darkness was all over
New England, westward as far as Al
bany, N. soutnwara along tne coast
of Maryland, South Carolina and
Georgia, and northward as far as any
communication was had with any set
tlements. Nothing was known beyond these
boundaries, but there is reason to be
lieve that a much greater area was in
volved. , . ,
Prof. Williams, of . Harvard college,
was indefatigable in observing, collect
ing and recording reports of the condi
tions attending this phenomenon, and
to him the credit is due for the data
from which it is possible to deduce the
causes of this soul-harrowing dark day.
Mr. Williams professed himself unable
to offer any solution'but this was prob
ably owing to the lack of knowledge
of the physical interior of this great
country and its sometimes peculiar re
lationship to current meteorology.
All was black as primeval night
when chaos ruled the world and sun
and stars were as inky spots in the
heavens.
And now we come to the key. that
unlocks the mental situation and it be
comes clear what it was that stood in
the way of an understanding of this
mystery. Innumerable were the gro
tesque and irrational hypotheses that
were advanced from which "their advo
cates endeavored to find the solution of
this extraordinary occurrence.
An eclipse of the sun was claimed,
but as the moon was near its "full" and
probably one hundred and eighty de
grees out of solar line from the earth,
such a condition was physically impos
sible. A transit of Venus or some other
celestial body across the sun's disc had
advocates. Men of - grave demeanor
contended that a star had caught firo
and started a conflagration, of the
heavens, or the sun had expired, hence
the residuum of smoke and ashes.
There habeen immense land fires,
where there was no one to report, cov
ering perhaps many hundreds if" not
thousands of square" miles, probably
fanned by brisk gales, the vapor and
sooty substances taken up by ascend
ing currents from the heated surface
and loaded on favoring breezes to be
wafted over the land of the pilgrims
and, as it chanced, to be air-dammed
with the results narrated. This con
tinued until the barriergave way, when
the vapor soon dispersed.
The great middle and western states
have time and again, had this smoki
ness, which no one now thinks of re
garding as supernatural. The only un
usual feature of this occasion Was the
unusual combination of conditions. -
This, in brief, is the explanation of
the wonderful dark day.
The Voice In Men of Different Races.
The Tartars are supposed to have, as
a nation, the most powerful voices in
the world. The Germans, according to
the London Lancet; possess the lowest
voices of any civilized people. The
voices of both Japanese and Chinese
are of 'a very low order and feeble com
pass, and are probably weaker than any
other nation. Taken as a whole Euro
peans have stronger, clearer and better
voices than the inhabitants of the oth
er continents. ' '
