from a New York Lady for
AVER'S PILLS
, ' " I would like to add my testimony to
that of others who have used Ayer'a
Pills, and tojsay'that I have taken them
for many years, and always derived the
' best results from their use. For stom
ach and liver troubles, and for the cure
of headache, caused ly these derange
ments, Ayer s Pills cannot be equaled.
11
. hen my jfriemls ask me what is tho
"best remedy for. disorders of the stom
ach, lrveri, or 'bowels, my invariable
answer is', Ayet's Pills. Taken in sea
son, they will break up a cold, prevent -la
grippe, check fever, and regulate the
digestive organs. .They are easy to
' take, and are, indeed, the best all-round
family medicine I have ever known.

THE ELDER TREE.
Some of the Traditions and Superstitions
Attached to It.
The traditions attached to this tree
are very numerous and widespread,
from the days of Pliny downward, says.
:n otes and Queries. The fancy or belief
that Judas hung1 himself upon an elder
tree, which will be found in Gerarde
iid many old herbalists and poets, Ber.
Johnson among- them, of course, gave
the name to the purplish-brown fundus
which grows on its bark under the title
of "Judas' ear," jvliich Coles refers to as
'Jewes Eare, called in Latin Fungus
ambicuEus and Auricula judae." The
fila.n.t appears to have; had in England
he old cognomen of pipe -tree or bour
ivee, and in Scotland bore tree, no doubt
rom the facility with which pipes or
ubes for musical or other purposes
have always been made by pushing out
the pith from the-younger branches.

The spiced wine so almost universally

tricts, and the medicinal virtues at
tributed and not without reason to
1-rv many preparations made from its
bark, shoots, leaves and roots by coun
try .folk from time immemorial, and a
proportion of which are found in the
pharmacopoeia, have Soubtless made it
popular plant, and gathered around
t. nianv of the superstitions, tales, and
even enhanced the virtues it is said to
possess. At Till events, in nearly cvciy
county in England its praises can be
heard, and wondrous tales "m connec

A FROG HUNTER.
New Jersey Girl Is Accumulating a L&rge
latrachian Revenue.
Miss Mona Leiden, of Friendship, N.
J., is a hunter of renown. The game she-
bags is frogs. For se.ven years she has
been supporting herself by her unique
athletic exercise. Now she is one of
the most prosperous citizens in the
little town, and she is reputed to have
bank account which, if it keeps on
growing, will eventually enable her to
give up frog shooting.
Before she took to frog shootiDg Miss
Selden taught school in the country re
gions for ten dollars a week. She d:d
not particularly enjoy teaching, for her
pupils were frequently boys about twice
as big as herself, and they had that par-
ticulur form of humor which shows it
self in beine- obstreperous. Moreover,
ten dollars a week did not satisfy Miss
Selden's idea of proper compensation.
Consequently, when she found that
frog3 were a-costly luxury, she. re
solved to invest her savings in a
frog farm. Friendship being rich in
bogs and swamps. Miss Selden bought
20 acres of land, fenced it in, and began
to raise frogs for-the New York mar
ket, to the scornful delight of her neigh
bors. Thesr thought she was a harm
less and amusing lunatic when thev
saw her practicing shooting frogs. But
when they learned that she cleared $1,
G00 the first season, those who came to
scoff remained to imitate, ''and frog-
shooting became a popu la v occupation
in Friendship, The other shooters sell
their game toMiss Selden, who in turn
sells it to the market.
None But Ayer's at the World's fair.
Ayer'a Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago.' . Manufact
urers of other .sarsaparillas'sougbt by
every mean a to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were '. all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the' entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla waa' in effect as follows:
Ayer'a Sarsaparilla la not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. - It is' here on its
merits." " - - '
