IT’S CURES
THAT COUNT.
Many so-called remedies are
pressed on the public attention
on account of their claimed
large sales. But sales cannot
determine values. Sales simply
arSue good salesmen, shrewd
puffery, or enormous advertis
ing. It’s cures that count. It
is cures that are counted on by
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Its sales
might be boasted. It has the
world for its market. But
sales prove nothing. We point
only to the record of Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, as proof of its
merit :•

PRESSED BRICKS.
The R. R. From Sisson.
The 20-mile railroad under construc
tion from Sisson to the McCloud river
timber belt suspended operations until
spring when the winter weather set in.
The grading was completed excepting
one fill near the summit of Squaw
mountain. The rails are laid from Up
ton as far as the J. F. Howard ranch on
Cold creek. The frame for the large mill
at the terminus in the McCload valley is
partially erected and as fast as weather
will permit it will be enclosed. Work
on tbe grounds about the mill will prob
ably be delayed until spring as well as
all further work on the railroad. The
Sisson Mirror says in the spring as soon
as the snow leaves the lower end of the
road, ballasting will be begun and follow
just behind the tracklaying crew. Every
effort will be made to get both the rail
road and mill in operation as early as
possible. The past season has been a
good one for the work and the project
has generally been attended bv favorable
conditions. With a continuation of these
and under the same able management
the enterprise is certain of ultimate
success.

A Chamberlain Story.
The remarkable youthfulness of Mr.
Chamberlain’s appearance has given
rise to many stories. Here is one of
them: In the days when he was a mem
ber of Mr. Gladstone’s administration
the distinguished statesman had occa
sion to cross the Irish sea on a day when
the boat was overcrowded and there
were no berths for all. He was attend
ed by a private secretary with a beard.
The private secretary picked acquaint
ance with a Scotchman, and the Scotch
man made a suggestion for the distri
bution of the party on the principle of
age before honors. “You and I, mon,”
he said, “will occupy the berths, and
the wee laddie can just lie himself down
on the floor.”

Persian Tears.
A physician who has just returned
from a visit to Persia says that the Per
sians still believe that human tears are
a remedy for certain chronic diseases.
At every funeral the bottling of mourn
ers’ tears is one of the chief features of
the ceremonies. Each of the mourners
is presented with a sponge with which
to mop off his face and eyes, and after
the burial they are presented to the
priest, who squeezes the tears into bot
tles, which bo keeps. This custom is one
of the oldest known in the east and has-
probably been practiced by the Persians
for thousands of years. Mention is made
of it in the Old Testament
