The First Sign
Of failing health, whether in the form oi
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General 'Weariness and Loss oi
Appetite, should suggest tho use oi
Ayer'3 Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to tho enfeebled system, pro
moting tho digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring tha nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing tho blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, 'Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended mo to try Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, which I did, and 1 am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
E. L. "Villiam3, Alexandria, Minn.
I havo used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, in. my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. I havo
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
alterative, and must say that I honestly
believe it to be the best blood medirino
evercompounded. W. F. Fowler, M. D.,
D. D. S., Greenville, Tenn.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would bo impossible for mo to de
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
aud Headache up to the timo I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
tho caro of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained moro than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla
for a short time, my headache disap-
S eared, and my stomach performed its
utie3 more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley, Springtield, Mass.
I havo been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
tones and Invigorates the system, regu
lates tho action of tho digestive aud
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliablo blood purifier yet discovered.

Since its creation at the outset

It is reported that crude opium
is being imported into British Col
umbia to an enormously increased

then smuggled into the United

A Texas paper declares the
great need of that state to be a lot
of industrious, economical small
farmers men who will not only
make the land produce to its ut
most capacity, but who will take,
care of the producls.
A correspondent of the Loudon
Daily Telegraph saj's that thous
ands of Uussian peasants have died
of hunger during the past six
weeks. In the district Zvonigor-
odka the peasants seized the cattle
of the rich land owners.
Paul Witte, a ten-vear-old New
York boy, died last week from the
effects of a dose of "Rough on
Rats," whicli he took with suicidal
intent. Ho had staved away from
school ol late, and had been prom
ised a whipping by his father. It
is thought this led him to take tho
poison.
A Florida man objects to the
appointment of a judge in his state
because at tho time of his appoint

and is now a British subject.
Under our present administration
he shouldn't let a little thing like
that trouble him.
There is a man in. New York
state who is now 80 years old, but
says he expects to live ten years
longer, during which time he ex
pects to see his theories realized,

the holding of public office by celi
bates alone, equal suffrage and the
ownership and education of chil
dren by the state.
Philadelphia teamsters complain
that since the reduction in (lie
number of saloons in that cit-, the
question of watering their horses
;s a serious one, as neatly all the
watering-troughs in the city were
set up in front of saloons and have
been removed, so that their horses
are beginning to suffer for want of
some means of providing them
with drink dtfring the day.
In the month of April last two
German travelers, Lenk and Topf,
undertook the ascent of the volcano
of Iztaccihuatl, the neighbor of
Popocatepetl, in Mexico, whose
summit reaches an elevation of
17,000 feet. They failed to reach
the very top, but the expedition
fully rewarded their efforts, as they
repoit the existence of a glacier.
It has not been supposed hitherto
that there were anj' glaciers in this
part of the American continent.
On opening xa package at the
dead letter office, in Washington,
this week, it was found to contain
this scalp of a while woman
stretched out on a bent willow
frame, and from the marks on the
package the conclusion was
reached that the scalp was a trophy
of some Indian warrior. The hair
was long and dark, and the scalp
had been removed hastily, judging
from the j-tgged edge. An effort
will lie made to find the owner of
the "relic."
Rather curiously, the scholar
ships which havo been awarded to
ivomen students at Cornell this
year, and the women have carried
off just one half ot these distinc
tions, were given as prizes for the
best records in mathematics, archi
tecture and botany, in two ofjwhich
branches at least the masculine
mind had b'ecn held to be invinci
ble. The examinations were im
partial, and the papers of the fair
competitors are pronounced among
the best that have ever been sub
mitted. A curious disease is manifesting
itself among the Iowa farmers'
nursery stock of apples, plums,
rose and other plants. The dis
ease shows itself in the formation
of excrescences on the roots which
arc popularly 'called "cancels."
The origin of the trouble is ob
scure, but the opinion of scientists
who have examined diseased roots
is that there is no good reason for
attributing the trouble to insects,
and, if the cause is a fungus, it
comes rather from the soil than di
rectly from a diseased plant to the
healthy one.
According to a railroad man, the
fast trains are doing great harm to
engineers. Almost daily, he says,
one of these knights of the lever
suffers from n paralytic stroke.
The rapid time made puts every
engineer on such a strain that it is
only a question of a few months
until the nervous system collapses.
There is said to be a train running
from St. Paul to Stillwater, on the

The Opening of the Campaign.
To open the campaign with any hopes of
speedy success, attack the enemy, malaria,
before it has a chance to intrench. An ob
stinate foe 'twill prove if you don't go right
at it If you are prudent, too, you will have
fortified, upon the Erst lntlnntlon of its pres
ence inl your neighborhood, llostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the medicinal ammunition
that j ou require. Every form of malarial
fever yields to this fine preventive and
remedy. For constipation, liver complaint,
dyspepsia, nervousness and kidney trouble
it is no less effectUe. Residents of malarial
localities, and personssoiournhiKlnorbound
for the great Yvest.'shoald select this med
icme as a means of defence against the fre
quent visitations of miasma. Those in
delicate health, the aged and the enfeebled,
should in eery instance resort to this signal
l. igorant. Use It for weak nerves.
A piofessional beauty has been
photographed in 150 different po
sitions. It is said that the only

on a chair.

Cutting down the tariff one-half
would double the importations of
foreign goods. Then where would
the gold in the "surplus" go to?
It would go to Europe to pay
