SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR
For nil Diseases of the
Liver, Kidneys, Stonaca an. Spleen.
This purely vegetable pre
paration, now so celebrated as a
Family Medicine, originated in
the South in 1888. It acts
gently oa the Bowels and
Kidneys and corrects the
action of the Liver, and is, there
fore, the best preparatory
medicine, whatever the sick
ness may prove to be. In all
common diseases it will, an.
assisted by any other medi
cine, effect a speedy cure.
The Regulator is safe to administer in any
condition of the system, and under no circum
stances can it do harm. It will invigorate
like a glass of wine, but is no intoxicating bever
age to lead to intemperance: will promote di
gestion, dissipate headache, and gener
ally tone up the system. The dose is small,
cot unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted.
No loss of time, no Inter
ruption or stoppage of
business while taking the
Regulator.
Children complaining of
CoUc, Headache, or Mclc
Stomach, a. teaspooifcl or
more will give relief.
If taVen occasionally by pa
tients exposed to MALARIA,
will expel the poison and proteit
them from attack.
A PUY8ICIAVS OPINION.
I have been practicing medicine for twenty years,
and have never been able to put up a vegetable
compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu
lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to
action, tnd at the same time aid (instead of weak
ening) the dipeitive and assimilative powers of the
system. I. M Hinton, M. D .Washington, Ark.

ORIGIN OF THE BANG.
One Who Asserts That the Dans

A careful historical chase of the

which their sisters further north
never possessed. Established as a
fashion in Africa, it lost no time in
nassinc over into Asia, the African
slaves assisting in its transit. But
tne capillary attractions of Asiatic
indies were bv no means suited to
the African style, and all efforts at
iwf.s.uiix men uair proving iuuures,
the curly bang was evolved as the
nearest annroach to the African
style. Thus did the bang traverse
iiiousanus ot miles, and so adapt u
eelf to circtimctnnres thnt snmf
ethnologists have studiously main-
Exactly when the bang came into
Europe is a matter of doubt, some
placing its advent in the latter days
of the Roman Empire, while others
insist'that it was brought hpk from
the East by the crusaders ; but when
ever it came, it lound that the front
hair of .European ladies was as in
tractable as their temper, and so

down, as hideous as a nightmare,
was nnauy evolved. This being
settled, there remains only the con
cluding inquiry, whence came the
iirst uang ; ine most formidable of
the animal kingdom is the much
dreaded COrilla. This hMsr.. nmnntr
other attractions, carries a head of
Bnort, Dnstiy hair, and one of the
animal's preparations for battle is to
pass the paw rapidly down the
crown of the head to the eves, thus
bringing the front hair straight out,
and giving an aspect of ferocity that
never fails to inspire the utmost
terror. So well understood is this
gesture, that among the gorilla's fellow-countrymen
it is the .signal for
an instantaneous and headlong
scamper from the spot, and as the
female gorilla in defense of her
young is even worse than the male,
certain African dialects have an
expression, "a female gorilla with
her front hair down," to indicate the
extremity of ferocious bearing.
In time it came to pass that when
African ladies were abused by their
husbands, they adopted the same
gesture, and, so far as the hair was
concerned, with the same result.
Then certain wives, to indicate their
readiness for battle at all seasons,
took to wearing their hair drawn
over their foreheads, and the fashion
rapidly spread to young ladies, who
wore their hair in this stvle as in
sinuating their resolve never to sub.
mit .to matrimonial tvranny. The
idea spread and the bang flourished
alike in African deserts, on the
banks of the Ganges, of the Thames,
and of the Mississippi. Thus does
scientific research shed light on
social topics, and even the mon
strosities of female costume are
shown to have their origin in intelli
gent action; for nothing is more
reasonable than that, as one animal
taught man how to build his house,
and another how to catch his dinner,
his wife from a third should learn
how to dress her hair. Boston

McCmlUask's Xety.
His modesty as to his merits was
remarkable. After playing Othtllo
for the first time, he called on a
journalist whose duties kept him late
in the office, and apologized for his
intrusion
" When you are quite through with
your work, I wish to talk about my
performance I saw you in the audi
ence and I cannot rest until I know
whether I have disappointed yon.
Some of the blemishes that I know
of I can remedy at the next perform
ance, but I want to learn whether
there are too many to justify me in
keeping the character on my list."
He afterwards had the satisfaction
of being warmly complimented by
Walter Montgomery and Edwin
Booth, as thp very best Othello on the

"This," said Farmer Hayseed
to his city guest, a3 he pointed to a
large field, "is where we keep our
bull."
"And are we going in there?"
asked the guest.
"Yes, but you need not be afraid.
He is as gentle as a lamb except
when he sees bright red. If you
will take this chalk and chalk your
nose we can pass through in safety."
And the farmer chuckled softly to
himself that night as he heard "his

A teacher in the Armour public
school was explaining to a class the
manner in which a lobster casts its

To Much Curry-comb.
An excellent colored coachman,
whose horses always looked clean
and smooth, once assured us that
he wanted nothing but a wisp of
straw for cleaning horses. A writer
in the Journal of Agriculture takes
about the same view in the follow fellow follew
ing: It is within the memory of most
stock-men that the curry-comb was
considered an indespensable article
of horse furniture, and even yet in
most stables it is used to a greater
or less extent. But it is time to con
sider whether there are not other
means of cleaning stock less barbar
ous and more effective.
Suppose you try a curry-comb
everj morning on your own head a
few minutes (provided yon are not
bald-headed already), and see how
you like it. The hair can be kept
short, perhaps, and smooth, but it is
at the expense of a healthy skin on
the animal. There are brushes made
purposely for the business that are
infinitely preferable to the curry
comb. The brush will remove all
the dirt if properly applied, and
there is no danger of" applying it too
vigorously. The best thing to clean
a horse with is a handful of " excel
sior," or the moss that is used for
mattresses, or if you have not that a
good brush, or a wisp of hay or straw.
A corncob applied to the limbs of
the horse aud a polish off with a
piece of cloth, will do all the clean
ing necessary, especially if the limbs
are sponged off frequently and care
fully in good weather, and rubbed
dry.
None of these articles cost as much
as a curry-comb (except the brush,
which all good horsemen will keep
on hand), and either of them are
better than the comb. The owner
of a good horse ought to see to it
that the curry-comb is abolished
from his stable, or used sparingly,
and a little more work put in, with a
less barbarous instrument. When a
horse cringes and jumps at the ap
plication of the curry-comb, it is not
because he don't like to be cleaned,
but he objects most decidedly to the
method.
Try the noble animal once with a
little less heroic treatment, and our
word for it, you will banish the cur-rv-comb
from vour stable.
Mrs. Cady Stanton's Carlosltyl
Some stories are revived in con
nection with the recent celebration of
Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 70th birth
day. For instance : At Newport, in
the summer of 18G9, Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker made her first
public speech. She held a manu
script in her hand from which she
read, but having a strong native gift
as an orator she f requentl y diverged
from the paper. In the course of
her remarks she came to some allu
sion to Moses, when looking up from
her lecture she said :
"I have always thought that when
I passed to a better world the person
I should most wish to see, of course
after members oi my own immediate
family, would be Moses."
Mrs. Stanton whispered, sotto
voice : "I have often suspected that
Moses was a Beecher."
Thesweetby-and-by is comingright
along. The raahwa trees, recently
discovered in the forests of Central
India, bear blossoms which yield
half their weight in pure sugar, and
a single tree bears a thousand pounds
of blossoms yearly. The day seems to
be approachtng when the downtrod
