They are invaluable. For some years I was a victim to Liver Complaint, in consequence of vrhich I suffered from General Debility and Indi gestion. A few boxes of Ayer's Pills restored me to perfect health. "W. T. Brlghtney, Henderson, W. Va. For years T have relied more upon Ayer's Pills than anything else, to Regulate my bowels. These Pills are mild in ac tion, and do their work thoroughly. I have used them, with good effect, in cases of Rheumatism and Dyspepsia. G. F. Millar, Attleborough, Mass. Ayer's Pills cured me of Stomach and Liver troubles, from which I had suffered for years. I consider them the best pUU made, and would not be without them. Morris Gates, Downsville, N. Y. I was attacked with Bilious Fever, which was followed by Jaundice, and was so dangerously ill that my friends despaired of my recovery. I commenced taking Ayer's Pills, and soon regained my customary strength and vigor. John C. Pattison, Lowell, Nebraska. Last spring I suffered greatly from a troublesome numor on my side. In spite of every effort to cure this eruption, it in creased until the flesh became entirely raw.

In a short time I was free from pain, my food digested properly, the sores on my body commenced healing, and, in less than one month, I was cured. Samuel D. White, Atlanta, Ga. I have long used Ayer's Pills, in my family, and believe them to bo the best pills made. S. C. Darden, Darden, Miss. My wife and little girl were taken with Dysentery a few days ago, and I at once began giving them small doses ot Ayer's Pills, thinkingl would call a doctor if the disease became any worse.

Johnson & Co., 1999 Main St., Richmond, Va. AYER'S Te lite States CHEAP LIVING. Eeattlt of Interesting Experiments in New York. Boston Journal. The possibility of the support of a man with a wife and two children upon $7.50 per week has met with much questioning since the state ment was made that the problem had been solved, but an interest ing experiment in New York has demonstrated the utmost achieve ment of economy within the pre scribed Jimit. For a family of four the rent was $1 per week, fuel 50cents and lighting 12 cents. The food expenses were com pressed to $2.48 per week by the most careful management. A bill of fare contained two stews for four square meals, each made of 10 cents' worth of meat and bones, a handful of rice and flour worth 1 cent and a little salt and pepper. Each stew, eaten with bread, served for the next meal in a warmed-over condition. Four more of the principal meals were provided from fried salt pork at a cost of 14 cents; boiled beans fur nished two meals for Hi cents; a pat roast of beef, three pounds for 36 cents, and 5 cents' worth of potatoes made a royal Sunday din ner. Bread and molasses fur nished the luncheon in the middle of the day at a cost of 35 cents, making the total expense of food for the week 2.48. Comfortable clothing was provided at 2.50 per week, and it is said that even with the addition of a few luxu ries of food the family were able to deposit S78 in a savings bank during the year. Whether the story adequately tulfills the conditions for a wholesale living may be, perhaps, questioned, since nothing is provided to meet the "wear and tear" in every house hold but it is usetul as an illus tration of economy. Scientists have decided- that- thc-averago-workingmen requires daily in his food not lets than four ounces of proteids, two ounces of fat and eighteen ounces of carbohydrates. Bread, oatmeal, milk, sugar, po tatoes, beans and lard at a cost of 12 cents will supply all the food absolutely required by one person for living. At the increased ex pense of 19.33 cents more elabor ate .diet can be made with 2(5 ounces bread, 2 ouuees codfish, 2 ounces lard, 1C ounces polatoe-, 1 pint milk, 1 ounce sugar and 3 cups of tea. As food is the most expensive factor of living, it is capable of the most intelligent se lection, and depends more upon individual taste and judgement than any other condition ot life, since rent and clothes are fixed more by extraneous circumstances and less yielding to choice. The intelligent workingman gains by a careful study of a hill of fare. It is useful for him to know that among vegetable foods in com mon use oatmeal, beans and pota toes are the cheapest; that one of the greatest needs of the working man is a suffcient supply of an in expensive, wholesome fat, and that cheap meals may be as nu tritious as costly cuts. The pre vention of waste by judicious cooking is an important matter for the consideration of the work ingman in which he can be helped by his wife's carefulness. It would be difficult to estimate the amount of waste in American kitchens caused by ignorance of the true value of food, but it is known to be unnecessarily large. Ayer's Pi'Is are pleasant, safe and sure, and excel all other pills in healing and curative qualities. Best for family use. Upon the confirmation of Mel ville "W. Fuller as chief justice of the United states be will be given a reception at the rooms of the Iroquois Club in Chicago. The Wenderfol Properties of Darby's Prophylactic Jlnid.

BOB BELL'S ANE0D0TE, A Brilliant Burst of Eloquence Avail able for Political Orators. Many public speakers have at tempted to tell the following anec dote, but have lost themselves in the sublime touches imparted to it by Judge Bell, whose version of the story has won for it the dis tinctive appellation of "Bob Bell's Anecdote." No other man can tell it like Bob, and no newspaper re porter has ever made a passable report of the story always falling short on the cmbelishments. A political campaign is at hand, and we have prevailed upon Judge Beil to pnt the anecdoie in writing, that a verbatim report might be printed, so that hereafter campaign orators may not spoil a matchless story when lhev attempt to tell "Bob Bell's Anecdote:" To the western pioneers a cow's tail suspended from an augur hole in the door of the ccabin used for dressing hides wathe sign of a tannery. During those times a cultivated and highly imaginative English tourist was travelling on horseback through- Kentucky. Riding along a public road, he came abreast of a tanyard, and his eyes dilated and were transfixed as thoy caught sight of the primi tive sign. To our hero it was a miraculous sight. Reining up his horse, and gazing in growing won der, he commenced soliloquizing, and soon broke forth in a brilliant monelogue: "I have traveled far and wide; I have been at earth's loneliest bound on ocean's wild est shore; I have seen the great sun that hides its face in light, come up from his" watery couch in the Atlantic and bathe his mighty axle in the Pacifie; I have seen the great ocean when its placid bosom like a polished mirror reflected the unbroken azure of the heavens, and I have seen it when the storm god was abroa?, and those tran quil waters were lifted and dashed in spray -mountain high; I have seen the rainbow that glo rious wonder woven by sunbeams and the mysteries of refraction span like a n augel's diadem the brow of the dying storm; I have seen the morning mist rise with wing of wavy gold to greet the as cending sun, and gather in grim and angry thunder-clouds around his setting, and all these things I could understand, for they were all explainable by the fixed and eternal laws of nature, of astrono my, and of natural philosophy; bnt how in the names of all the gods at once that cow could jump through that door, and leave her tail fast in that hole, is more than T can understand. An Assurance of Health. Among the assurances ol health afforded us by the regular discharge of the bodily functions, none Is more important and reli able thanthat -which regularity of the bowels gl es us. It there is any even a temporary interruption of this the Ift or and the stom ach sulfer conjointly with inactive organs, and still greater mischief ensues If relief is not speedily obtained. A laxative, above all cavil on the score of mineral composition or violent effect, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters approved by the medical profession and a most Important Item of the family materia medicaof American households. It Is bo tanic, painless In action, and It persisted In, effectual. The stomach and liver, in no less degree and no less promptly and thoroughly than the bowels, are regulated and toned by It, and It ts an admirable delense against ma larial and rheumatic ailments, and a benign remedy for kidney complaints, ner ousness and deblity. Politics make strange bed-fellows, but they don't get much &leep. SUU- WEIGHT PUR-S. Its superior excellence proven In millions of homes for more than a quarter of a cent ury.

We have received a two-column letter signed Veritas, which pur ports to give a true history of Major Galvanus Burt, proprietor and landlord of the Adams house. He is shown up &s a thief, hypo crite, liar and coward, but we shall not publish it. While he keeps themost miserable apology for a hotol on earth, and while we are satisfied he would steal the winkers from a dead dog's eyes, the Major was the first man in town to sub scribe for our paper, and we are not going back on him unless be refuses to renew.

Sensational newspaper artioles increase the in terest of the people in the matter, and the subject is becoming prom inent in parliamentary debates.
