Tiie eyes aro always in sympathy with
he body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. "When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence tl.at the svstem has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayer's Sarsaparilla is tho best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
flammation in my eyes, caused me much
sufTerinr for a number of ycara. Bv the
advice ot a physician I commenced taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using thi3
medicine a short time I was completely
Cured
My eyes aro now in a splendid condi
tion, and I am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. H.
For a number of years I was troubled
with a humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until I commenced

From childhood, and until with a few

SOME SABKAZZUH.
But Considerable Truth All The Same
Editoe Enterprise:
Articles frequently appear in
local papers condemning people
who don't take the local paper.
Like many other things, there are
two sides to this, and believing
that thus far the side of the non
subscriber has never been present
ed to the public, I ask for space to
insert the following, assuring you
that there are many other reasons
equally as goed:
1st. The local paper costs too
much. "While the local paper
costs two or three dollars we can
send east and get a larger one for
six bits or a dellar: True the
news it contains is rather stale
when it reaches us and the editor
ials are on subjects that don't in
terest us much, but they make
good patterns and are just the
thing to paper the house.
2. It is a sign of poverty to
take the home paper. To get the
great eastern paper takes ready
money, but people who have noth
ing but cord-wood and rutabagas
have to take the home paper or go
without.
3rd. It booms the country.
The non-subscriber was born in
Wayback and don't like booms.
He is satisfied with the country
where he lives and don't want to
sell out. The boom will raise the
price of land and taxes will be
higher.
4th. It is no financial benefit.
If he takes the homo paper and
pays money for it the editor spends
it all at home to help develop the
country. He might as well keep
it and spend it himself.
5th. The character of the paper
is objectionable. If it contains too
many jokes he don't want it.
"When he wants a funny paper he
will take the Texas JSifthigs. If
it does not have enough jokes he
don't like it. When he wants dry
reading he will take a quarterly
review.
Gth. It is a monopoly. It is
the only thing that builds up the
country and consequently lias a
monopoly of that. He don't be
lieve in patronizing monopolies.
7th. He is too well acquainted.
He don't know the editors of the
eastern papers, but they must le
smart men to be able to circul.it'
their papers so far from home and
he has a great respect for them.
But he knows the home editor too
well. He the h. e. don't amount
to anything. He looks just like
any other man.
8th. The editor of the home
paper is not sharp enough. No
matter how much support he gets,
he spends all his surplus in im
proving his paper instead of salt
ing it down like a man should and
preparing for a rainy day. In oth
er words preparing a place to go to
when it rains.
9th. There are too many mis
takes. The eastern paper with a
six thousand dollar editor-in-chief,
half a dozen assistants, at from two
to four thousand a year, a fifteen
hundred dollar proof reader and an
eighteen hundred dollar foreman,
does much better work than the
home paper where the editorial staff
proof reader, foreman, pressman
and the majority part of tlie com
position part of the force are com
bined in one man, who don't get
three hundred dollars between
Christmasses, and he believes in
taking a paper whose grammar is
faultless and spelling is perfect, so
he will learn something of those
two studies.
10th. He don't need to. He
can borrow of his neighbor. Hop
ing these few reasons (of which
the last is the chief) will convince
you that there are two sides to the
question, I remain,
Respectfully yours,

A Sensational Eeport.
Beelix, June 17. An extraor
dinary rumor is current in this
city which has caused a most in
tense sensation. It appears that
notwithstanding the urgent cn
treaties and protests of the widow
ed Empress that no autopsy
should be performed on the body
of the dead monarch, the new em
peror caused a post mortem exam
ination to be held yesterday. The
widow's feelings were additionally
outraged by the fact that Profes
sessor Von Bergman, the very sur
geon who had been forced by her
to withdraw from attendance on
the late emperor, was called upon
to hold the post mortem examina
tion, which has revealed the fact
so long denied by Sir Morell Mak
enzie and other surgeons, that
the complaint with which the late
Emperor was afiicted was cancer
in its most malignant and incur
able forms. This being tlie case,
Emperor Frederick was debarred
by certain clauses in the Prussian
constitution, concerning princes
afflicted with incurable maladies,
from succeeding to the throne,
and according to the letter of the
law, his accession was an illegal
act. A rumor, which is now cur
rent, is that in view of the above
fact, not only the legality of cer
tain acts of the late Emperor are
about to be called into question,
but that even the rank and posi
tion of his widow, as dowager,
are seriously compromised, espe
cially as regards her appendages
and title.

A big spider was placed on a
rock in the renter of an armarium
in a recent experiment and the
larva of a water beetle put near.
The beetle nromntlv seize.d the
spider and pulled it into the water,
nut atter a .sharp struggle the spi
der broke away and escaped. The
beetle soon after renewed the at
attack and fastened itself on the
spider by its pincert. The spider
also got a good hold and the duel
resulted in the death of both. It
is satd that if two of the larvae are
placed in the same aquarium thev
will fjcrht until one or the other is
dead, and the victor will decapitate
the dead one.

One day last winter while a Ban
gor fisherman was cutting through
the ice with a big chisel prepara
tory to a day's sport, the chisel,
which had a handle like a shovel,
.slipped from his grasp and fell to
the bottom, iiut he had a hole
cut, so he set some lines bailed
with live shiners, and went to
camp. When he tried bis lines
afterward ho found he had caught
something, a wcaslc perhaps by the
way it pulled. He lauded his
catch and found he had landed a
three-pound trout and a chisel.
When the chisel wpnt down it had
stuck upright in the mud. The
shiner on the hook had swung
through the hole in the handle. A
trout had4seized it and wound the
line around the handle, and as
the line was strong the result was
as narrated.
