Long-Standing
Blood Diseases are cured by
the persevering use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
This medicine is an Alterative, and
causes a radical change in the system
The process, in some cases, may not be
quite so rapid as in others ; but, with
persistence, the result is certain.
Kead these testimonials :
' For two years T suffered from a se
vere pain in my ripht side, and had
other troubles caused by a torpid liver
and dyspepsia. After giving several
medicines a fair trial without a cure, I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I
was greatly benefited by the hrst bottle,
and after taking five bottles I was com
pletely cured." John "W. Benson, 70
Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass.
Last May a large carbuncle broke out
on my arm. The usual remedies had no
effect ami I was confined tojny bed for
t iht weeks. A friend induced me to try
't's Sarsaparilla. Less than three
l iiiles healed 4he .sore. In all myepi'
! with mcdie'ii. 1 never saw more
Wonderful Results.
Aunt her marked effect of the use of this
m ilieine was the strengthening of my
siht." Mrs. Carrie Afiams, Holly
Springs, Texas.
"I had a dry .scaly humor for ycai.s,
and suffered terribly; and, as my broth
er and sister were similarly afliicted, I
presume the malady is hereditary. Last
winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina,
Fla.,) lccomincnded me to take Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla, and contiimo it for a year.
For live months I took it daily. I have
not had a blemish upon inv bodv for the
last three months." T. E. Wiley, 11G
Chambers St., New York City.
" Last fall and winter I was troubled
with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I
did not notice it much at first, but it
gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this time, disoidcrs of the stom
ach and liver increased my troubles. I
began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and,
after faithfully continuing the use ol
this medicine for some mouths, the paii
disappeared and I was com plot el j
cured." Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush
Haverhill, Mass.

r.nisox'.s Iitilt idea.
An r.!ert.-is' .Motor AVhich Does Away
Willi the OverlK-ad Wires.
Thomas -2(lion has nearly com
pleted :m electric motor for street
railway car.-. His arrangement tlis
penpcs willi the overhead high tension
electric wire, and also with the stor
age liallery. Tims far his experi
ments have been very successful, and
within n short time he expects to be
able to prct-ent to the public a motor
that will solve for all lime the ques
tions of street mil way locomotion.
His invention is not nearly as com
plicated or dangerous as the electric
motors which are now in use on some
of thestrcet railways. In a few weeks
lUr. Edison expects to give his inven
tion a trial on one of the street rail
roads in Orange. Mr. Edison said
that he would have had this, his
latest invention, completed by
the holidays had it not been
for the fact that since his return from
Paris much of his lime has been occu
pied in jerfeeting the phonograph,
which was complicated. Business
men had complained that it was not
serviceable, owing to the duliculty an
inexperienced person found in work
ing it. All of the difficulties had now
been overcome and the machine had
been verv much simplified, so that auv
pcrfou could manage it. His greatest
(luucuuy ai present was in getting an
the sapphires he wanted. He used
these gems in the needle toint, which
traces the sound indentation on the
coils ofihe phonograph. 3Ir. Edison
said that he had exhausted the mar
ket, having bought all the sapphires
that he could iind m the country. As
a last resort he had begun to manu
facluio them.
"I can make a pretty good sapphire,
too," paid the wizard. 4,They are not
perfect, however, but T hope to make
them good enough for my Avorlc The
trouble with the sapphires that I have
made is that they are soft, amorphous,
wiine tne genuine sapphire is a crys
tal and very hard. 1 think 1 shall be
able to remedy th:t trouble."
Mr. Edison then referred to the suc
cess of the phonograph, and said that
it was constantly growing in ixinnlnr-
it. "We now have an office," said he,
'in Temple court, on Beekmau street,
where the court stenographers can go
when their day's work is finished and
read Iheir notes into a phonograph.
They can then turn the phonograph
over to the typewriter, who, at her
leisure, can write the notes off. It
saves a vast amount of time, and has
become very ixiimlar.

Horses Tails for Harness.
This lough story is told by tho
Goldeml.ile tirntiwl of January 23:
Howard Marshal!, who drives Tho
D.ille.s stage, is certainly not to be
downed by am ordinary mishap.
One day last week when going to The
Dalies he :uricd all right at the
Saxtoh place at the foot of the moun
tain on this side v.heie he changes
horses, and when taking the team lo
the stable, the hor.se which was leing
led by the man in charge of tho sta
tion, got frightened, pulled away, and
running between Howard aud his
horse caused that one to get loose and
away Uiey went, taking the
only set or harness with them there
was within a mile aud a half.
Then how lo get tothe next house,
which was Mr. Mulligan's, and not
lose impoiiant time was the next
questien: but Howard proved to be
equal to it. Tho breaststraps were
still on the neck yoke, and leading
the fiesh horses out of the barn ho
pnt the breaststraps around their
necks after passing them through the
rings on the ueekyoke, tied the horses' 1
tans to ttie doubletrees, and while he
mounted one horse, the hostler mount
ed the other, and in this manner thev
soon reached Mr. Mulligan's, where
he got a set of harness, and arrived in

THE GREAT LANGUAGES.
English Conns First, German Second aod
'French Third.
The language in wliich Shakespeare
and Milton -wrote was tho language of
less than 0,000,000 human beings, and
when Washington was president less
than 10,000,000 of people used the En
glish tongue. At tho same time
French was the mother tongue of at
least 30,000,000 ot people, and 50,000,
000 of French speaking people were
living at the time of the revolution of
1780. This state of affairs is com
pletely reversed.
Between forty aud fit ty years ago the
English language equaled the German
iu the number of those speaking it, and
now the latter is left far behind in the
race. German is now spoken by 10,
000,000 persons in the Austro-Hunga-riau
empire, by -10,000,000 in the Gor
man empire, bv -i.000,000 in Belgium,
and about 2,000,000 in Switzerland.
Besides the countries meulioued, iu
which German is usually classed as the
native tongue, it is spoken by about
2,000,000" iKjrsous in the United States
and Canada, giving a tottd of G4,000,
000 who use the German lauguage.
With French the case is much the
same, but the gain during the last
century has been smaller tliau that of
German v. French is now spoken bv
the 3S,000,000 inhabitants of France,
bv 2.250,000 people in Belgium, by
200,000 in Alsace-Lorraine, by 000,000
in Switzerland, 1,500,000 in the
United States and Canada, 6,000,000 in
Hayti, and by 1,500,000 in Algiers,
India and the West Indies, and Africa,
in all, -lo.OOO.OOO.
English is sioken bv all but 1,000,
000 of the 08,000,000 in the British
Isles, by 58,000,000 ot the 00,000,000
in this country, by 4,000,000 persons
in Canada, by 3.000,000 in Australia,
by 3,000,000 in the West Indies, and
by 1,000,000 people in India and other
British colonies, bringing the total to
over 100,000,000.
