Ayer's Pills. They are invaluable.
For some years I was a victim to Liver
Complaint, in consequence of which I
suffered from General Debility and Indi
gestion. A few boxes of Ayer's Pills
restored mo to perfect health. W. T.
Brightney, Henderson, V. Va,
For .years I have relied moro upon
Ayer's Pills than anything else, to
Regulate
my bowels. These Pill3 are mild in ac
tion, and do their work thoroughly. I
have used them, with good effect, in
cases of Rheumatism and Dvspepsia.
G. F. Miller, Attleborough, Mass.
Ayer's Pills cured me of Stomach and
Liver troubles, from which I had suffered
for years. I consider them the best pills
made, and would not bo without them.
Morri3 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. I was troubled, at the same time,
with Indigestion, and distressing pains in
The Bowels.
By tho advice of a friend I began taking
Ayer's Pills. In a short time I was free
from pain, my food digested properly, tho
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 tho 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 of Ayer's
Pills, thinkingl wonld call a doctor if tho
disease became any worse. In a short
time the bloody discharges stopped, all
pain went away, and health was restored.

A MODEfiN ATLANTIS.
One of the most curious phe
nomena of world building is now
omg on close to the United
tates without attracting general
attention. The-fable of Atlantis
is being repeated in real earnest.
A large island is being swallowed
up by the sea, and notone person
in a hundred knows anything
about it. The great sand island
known as Sable Island, in north
latitude 44 deg. and nearly GO deg.
west longitude, on which so many
brave ships have laid their bones,
and which has been the grave-yard
of so many bold sailors, will soon
be a thing of the past.
Sable Island was known to the
French about 1600, but the first
published maps made of it were
drawn about 1775. These repre
sented it as an island forty miles
long and two and a half miles
wide. Thirty-three .years later at
tention was drawn to the island by
the wreck of a troop-ship on its in
hospitable shore, and it was care
fully surveyed by the British gov
ernment. It was then found to be
only thirty miles long and less than
two miles wide. Forty-two years
later still Hon. Joseph Howe of
Nova IScotia-isited the island qn
behalf of the government and re
ported that in the thirty years pre
ceding his visit eleven miles of the
west end of the island had been
washed away by the sea. These
changes were, of course, noted by
the inhabitants and duly reported
to their government. In 1802 a
light-house was set up on the west
end-of the island, five miles from
the beach. In 1814 the superin
tendent reported that the sea had
eaten away four of the five miles,
one strip forty feet wide and three
miles long having gone in a single
night, and that ho must move cast
ward. He moved three miles to
the east, but in six years more the
sea again encroached on him, and
he removed four miles further still.
Since 1881 the ravages of the
sea have been exceedingly de
structive. One afternoon in Feb
ruary, 18S2, the margin of the
cliff on which the west light-house
was situated suddenly gave way
and an area forty-eight feet wide
and :i quarter of a mile long was
engulfed in the waves. The light
house keeper and attendants barr-K
escaped with their lives, having m
their barn and much preper: v.
The light-house was removed 1400
feet inland, but every storm this
interval was diminished, the sea
knawing off great slices thirty and
forty feet wide and sweeping them
away into the surges. In 1883
the east end began to be attacked,
and in 1886 the superintendent
reported that two of the three
miles intervening between him and
the beach had been eaten away in
three years. Meanwhile- the work
of erosion continued on the west
side." Last February the light
house keeper reported that the sea
washed up to within fifty feet of
his light-house- Before the end
of the month forty-two more feet
were swept away, leaving a mar
gin of only eight feet. The light
house was then removed further
inland.
It seems a mere question of
time when the whole island will
go, and nothing wilUremain but
the memory of the shipwrecks it
has witnessed. It will be an in
stance of the disappearance of an
island that was cultivated and in
habited without the intervention
of volcanic agency. "We on this
coast have no such raging seas to
tear away slices from the- flank of
the continent. Tho work of the
Pacific Ocean in this meridian has
been that of a builder, not a de
stroyer. But. in tho east, not only
on Sable Island, but on the coast
of Long Island and New Jersey,
the sea is fighting to regain terri
tory it once possessed and lost,
audits march is resistless'. Call

Went Pishing in a Hood.
Mr, Thomas had a large farm 6n
the Missouri bottoms, near Sioux
City. It was all fenced with barb
wire, there being two miles of
such fencing on the place. He
happened in Sioux city just about
the time the gorge up the river
had dammed the water to such a
prodigious height. Foreseeing
that when the gorge broke it
would be likely to raise the water
to such an extent as- to flood his
farm, he rode hastily homo and
made preparations accordingly.
His stock and all that was mova
ble was transferred to higher
ground. Then he and his hired
man proceeded to impale chunks
of meat on every barb of that wire
fence. It was a big job, but was
finished just as the river began to
cover the lower pasture lot. For
twenty-six hours the water stood
five feet above the top of the high
est fence post, and when it receded
tho most remarkable sight was re
vealed. From every barb except
three, of that two miles of fencing
hung a fish. There were pickerel,
bass, pike, suckers, and every
other imanigable variety. A sim
ple calculation will show precisely
the size of the haul. It was alive
wire fence, each wire having thirty
six barbs to the rod, making, as
any school boy can tell you, a total
of 115,200 barbs to the two miles
of fencing. There were thrcobarhs
that had caught nothing, so that
there were only 115,197 fish. Per
haps the most remarkable part of
the story is to ceme: From that
day to this, in all 'parts of the
Missouri river there have be'jn
caught just three fish, the exact
number that didn't get caught on
our friend's barbed-wire fence.
