The First Sign
01 failing health, whether in the form ol
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General 'Weariness and Loss oi
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro
moting tho digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with adistressinc Cough,
Night Sweats, "Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I- tried various remedies pre
scribed by different physicians, nut
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, which I did, and I am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
E. L. "Williams, Alexandria, Minn.
I have 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 medicino
evercompounded. W. F. Fowler, M. D.,
D. D. S., Greenville, Tenn.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would bo impossible for me to de
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
tho care of various physicians, and'tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla
for & short time, my headache disap-
S eared, and my stomach performed its
uties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley, Springneld, Mass.
I havo been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, rccu-
late3 tho action of tho digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. It is, without donbt, tho most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.

AN EDUCATED TEAMP.
He Talks Philosophy With a Eeparter
And is Supported by Pools.
Among the tramps who haunt
the shade of -Battery Park there is
now and then a man of education
and philosophic cast of mind.
While waiting for the Gover
nors Island boat recently a re
porter fell in with such a man. In
stead of giving a sketch of his life
or an account of his travels he
straightway began to moralize.
His name was Merton, or Morton,
and he claimed to bo a Harvard
graduate. He said ho was a mem
ber of a Boston publishing hrm.
But there was a hard, brassy look
about his countenance that gave
the lie to everthing he said. His
audacity alone commanded respect,
and when ho assumed his most
brazen air tho reporter gave him a
quarter just or luck.
When asked it pride did not
sometimes make him wish to return
to the world and be a man once
more, he lifted his lazv eyes lan
guidly and said:
"Ao; 1 am happier than most
people. Why shouldn't I be? I
don't want for anything and never
have any trouble to worry about.
The ordinary man has business in
terests and a wife and children to
support.' For these he toils and
denies himself.
"What does it profit him? A
thousand to one his ambition will
be disapointud, and he grow tired
of his wife. Men and women soon
fade, and no one can be young for
ever. Then the children will grow
up and begin the battle of life, as
their (father began it before them.
Engrossed with their own cares
they become estranged, and the
father ends the struggle a worn-
out, discontented old man, with
nothing to hope for, and nothing
to look back upon, except a weary
life of hard work. How many
succeed? How many arc satisfied
in having attained their desires!
Believe me, it is better to remain
as I am. I have no responsibili
ties, no ambitions and no work.
"How do I manage to live?
Thanks. Your action in giving
me this quarter is the answer.
Why you gave it to me I do not
know. It may be that you are
generous, or that I have amused
you, or that it tickles your self es
teem to indulge in these little nets
of charity. Whatever motive may
have prompted you, there are
thousands who for some reason or
other are willing to contribute to
the support of just such philoso
phers as I am. In plain words, I
am a man who allows his living ex
penses to be paid by the commu
nity. This coin represents just 25
cepts worth of work which you
have done for; me. No man need
labor while so "many fools are will
ing to support him." Neio York
Telegram.
The Opening of the Campaign.
To open tho campaign with any hopes of
speedy success, attack the enemy, malaria,
before It lias 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, npon the firstiutlmation of Its pres
ence In- yonr neighborhood. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters Is the medicinal ammunition
that you reauire. Every- form of malarial
fever yields to this fine preventive and
remedy. For constipation, liver complaint.
uyspepsia, nervousness ana Kinney trouble
It Is no less effective. Residents of malarial
localities, and persons sojourning In or bound
ror the great west, snouia select, tins med
icine as a means of defence against the fre
quent visitations of miasma. Those in
delicate health, the aired and the enfeebled.
should In every Instance resort to this sigual
i.ivigorant. Use It for weak nerves.
For quickness in raising money
for business enterprises, Hutchi
son, Kans., seems to outrank some
of the large cities. They called a
meeting out there for such a pur
pose, and after the hall was filled
locked the door. A local paper
tells that work then began, and in
just one hour and fifteen minutes
the sum of $224,000 was sub
scribed. Safe and sure to regulate the
bowels, Ayer's Cathartic Pills
never fail to give satisfaction.
Recommended by eminent phy
sicians. A French company with a cap
ital of $17,000,000 is said to be
waiting permission from the Rus
sian government to begin work on
a canal that will unite the Sea of
Azof and the Black Sea. The work
will take five years.
Its concentrated curative power,
make Ayer's Sarsaparilla the best
blood purifier.
An Atlanta (Gn.) ladv savs: "I
visited a friend recently and she
gave me a glass of wine. It was
of a pale amber tint and had all
the sDarkle arid'delicacv of flavor
of champagne, and when opened
popped louaiy. xs was enecuve,
tnougn mnu as a-sumuiant, ana i
thought it very fine. I asked
what variety of grape it was made
from, and mv friend told me it was
made of rose leaves, 'take the
freshlv nicked leaves' she said.
'and put into a jar alternately a
layer of leaves and sugar and pour
over all. a little cold water. In
four days strain, let it tand a week
and then bottle for use.' The
wine is a delightful beverage."
The stramgo habit of an aged
Albany (N. Y. ) woman of using
the" Rural Cemetery for a dormitory
on special occasions has just come
to light. The woman in question
is a widow, named Briggs, whose
husband died, about eight years ago
and wa3 buried, in the cemetery.
For some time .she has been in the
.habit of making two-day pilgrim
ages to her husband's grave. She
always carries with her a sufficient
quantity of food to last through
her vigil, and blankets to serve as
a covering during the night. - She
claims that she spends the night
in converse with her departed
spouse.
The Pittsburg Steel Casting
company has just shipped to the
ordinance department in Washing
ton a one-fourth actual size wooden
model of a new gun. The gun is
intended to be fired by cnlmensitc,
a new explosive recently patented
bv Dr. Stephen Emmciis. It is
"said to be much superior to both
gun-pnmlcr and dynamite. 1-lie
projectile the new gun will throw

times more damage than that fired
By a powder gun. The company
will cast the gtin.fo'r the emmen

At Canton, China, some 250,000
people live continuously upon
boats, and many never step foot
on shore from one years end to
another, the voung children
have a habit' of continually .-falling
overboard and thus cause a great
deal of trouble in effecting a res
cue, while in many instances tlrs
is impossible and a child is
drowned. Floats are attached to
the male children so that they can
be fished out "when they tumble
into the river. The females arc
without such protection and are
usually left to drown.

The attention of the Queen of
England is to be drawn to the fact
that tho woman who "made the
lining for the superb carriage in
which her majesty rode on jubilee
la last year, is on the verge of
starvation. The poor creature is a
cripple, bent almost double, and
has lived and worked in the samo
room for thirty years. The lining
was exquisite work, but the woman
was paid only 21d. per yard, and
by working from dawn till mid
night she was able to make just
six yards.
Every American bov and girl
should know how to make the
American flag in its proper pro
portions. The rule in the navy is
thisi "The flag is thirteen stripes
wide and twenty-one stripes long.
The union (blue) is seven stripes
square. There is one star for
each state in the Union." "The
bandana" is an imported article,
and has no regulation size.
