NOT A SICK DAY . Fop Over Thirty Years! RESULT OF VSISO AYER'S PILLS "Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirl years have kept ine in good health, never having had a sick day in all that time. Before I was twenty I suffered Almost continually as a result of con stipation from dyspepsia, headaches, neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive diseases. When I became convinced that nine-tenths of my troubles were caused by constipation, I began the use -of Ayer's Fills, with the most satisfac tory results, never having a single -attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, also began to use Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With my children I had no ticed that nearly all their ailments were preceded by constipation, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with children as with parents, Ayer's Pills, if taken in season, avert all danger of sickness."

Value of Good Eir for Music Apart , from Music It is probable that a good ear for music has some value apart from music, but it is not great. In the management of rapidly moving machinery a mu sical ear, which quickly detects varia tion of pitch, and. Therefore, of speed for the pitch of the sound depends on the speed is of considerable use. A farmer with a good ear can detect at once if the thrashing-machine is im properly "fed," for its speed increases ;iud the sound it emits is of higher pitch when an insufficient amount of corn is supplied, and in the same way the electrician can tell if an electric motor is running at its due speed. ith a musical ear the physician more read ily interprets the sounds elicited by percussing1 the chest, and the potter more easily separates the sound from the unsound. It is a moot point whether the musical are naturally the better readers and speakers, but there is no doubt that they improve more quickly when taught elocution, for they can appreciate the pitch of their own voices and so correct their errors. A g'ood ear includes an acute appre ciation of time or rhythm, and this is of use to, for example, the stroke of a boat or a drill-sergeant. A DEEP SILENCE FELL. The Figures Seemed to Warrant Theater-Goer's Domaud. "I beg your pardon," said the man with the slightly bald head, who sat in a parquet seat near one of the boxes in a downtown theater the other even ing. "I beg your pardon," he repeated, "but would you mind looking at the figures on this check and telling me what they are? I'm a little near sighted." The youngest member of the noisy box party, an amiable-looking youth with highly plastered hair, suspended his conversation, says the Chicago Trib une, with the interesting' blonde in the green dress a moment, leaned over the front of the box, and, in answer to the questioner, who had risen to his feet and was smilingly holding out for his inspection the check end of a ticket, he said: "Certainly, sir. The figures a $1.50." "Well," rejoined the questioner, "that's exactly what I paid to hear this play to-night, and I'm going to get the worth of my money or I'll lift my voice right now and raise a fuss and make a scene! You'll oblige me by tell ing the rest of them. He was not disturbed again during the evening. COVERED WITH wnen I was thirteen years old I began to have sore eyes and ears, anil from my ears a humor spread. I doctored with five different skilful doctors, but they did roe no good. My disease was Eczema. By this time it had crone all over my head, lace, and body. Nobody thought I would live, and would not have but forCuricunA Remedies. I used four boxes of Cutioura, five cakes of CcTicona Soap, and three bottles of Cuticcra Resolvent. My hair all came out at that time, but now it is so thick I can hardly comb it.
