THE ENGLISH LoRD.-The friends of the
English Lords who were here LAST summer can
see fine photographs of their Intelligent coun-
tenauces in Hales window. A Boston paper
in speaking of one of them has the following:
The bogus nobleman, whose exploits have
created such sensation in various cities of the
country for some time past, will probably re-
celve his quietus with the notice received in
this country from the London police authori.
ties. According to all accounts the fellow is
Jeremy Didder of the first water. He first
represented himself 10 be the Hon. Hugh Les
ter Courtney, and obtained money from vari
Gus persons in London, Paris and the south of
France He also represents that he has been
in the English navy, and he has the above name
with the letters r. N. on his luggage. After
leaving London he was in Calcutta represent
ing himself as Lord Courtney In October of
last year be made his appearance at Savannah,
Ga and obtained an introduction to various
families there by representing himself as the
nephew of Lord Devon. He subsequently ap-
peared in various cities of the United States,
and his courtly manners enabled him to make
a sensation in society as well as to obtain con-
siderable sums of money from bis admirers, for
which his lordshlp gave his 1. o y. For the
enlightenment of those whom the bogus lord
may yet endeavor to deceive, the following de-
scrptiOn of him may prove useful: Age %
years; height 6 feet inches; slightly built,
faint moustache, heavy eyes, bronzed complex
ION, speaks with American accent, dresses well
and has gentlemanly appearance. He has
stated that he entered the roval navy as mid
shipman at the age Of IA, and spent most of

1t is a sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization that the women Of our times
have degenerated in health and physique
until they are literally a race of invalid
pale, nervous, feeble and Oack-achy, with
only here and there few noble exceptions
in the persons of the robust, buxOm ladies
characteristic of the sex in days gone by.
By a very large experience, covering a Pc
Rod of years, and embracing the treatment
of many thousands of cases of those ailments
peculiar to Women, DR.. Pierce, of the Worlds
Uispensary, Buffalo, n. Y, has perfected, by
the combination of certain vegetable extracts,
a natural specific, which he does not eTtOl as
a cure-all, but one which admirably fulfiIls
singleness of purpose, being a most positive
and reliable remedy for those weaknesses
and complaints that afflict the women of the
present day. This natural specific compound
is called DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription.
The following are among those diseases in
which this wonderful medicine has worked
cures as if by magic and with a certainty
never before attained by any medicines:
Weak back, nervous and general debility,
falling and other displacements Of internal
organs, resulting from debility and lack of
strength in natural supports, internal fever,
congestion, Inflammation and liberation and
very many other chronic diseases incident to
women, not proper to mention here, in which,
as well as in the cases that have been emu
merated, the FavOrite Prescription effects
cures-the marvel of the world. 1t will not
do harm in any state or condition Of the sys-
TEN, and by adopting its use the invalid lady
may avoid that severest Of Ordeals-the con-
sulting of family physician. FayOrite Pre-
scriptiou is sold BY dealers in medicines
generally.

warm weather and are debiIitated, are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts Of whisky
two or three times during the day. In a little
while those who adopt this advice frequently in
crease the number Of drinks" and in time be-
come confirmed inebTiates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors. and
which is intended especially for the benefit of de-
bilitated persons, whether at home abroad, is
Dr.. ScheRcks Sea Weed Tonic. Containing the
Juices OF many medicinal herbs, this preparation
does not create an appetite for the intoxicating
cup. The nourishing and the disappearing prop
critics of many valuable natural productions Coz
tanned in it and well known to medical man have
a most strengthening influence. A single bottle
of the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable quail
ties. For debility arising from sickness, over eI-
ertion o. from any cause Whatever, a wineglassful
of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will strength
en- the stomach and create an appetite for whole
SOME food To all who IRE about leaving their
homes, we desire to say that the excellent effects

when taken by those VINO are injUr!Ously affected

TO MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE

Here are five short rules that if we'll
worked up will make farming one of the
most attractive pursuits known:
l. Do not lover crop yourself; or, in
other words, do not undertake more
than you can accomplish with ease.
,. Have a regular system in all you
do, and do everything with a clear I'M
Outstanding as to result and effect.
8. Keep your lands we'll up to a good
standard, by a proper tertilizing and a
iudicious rotation Of profitable crops.
1. Keep none but good stock, and see
to it that said stock is kept in good con-
ditiOn. o.,
5. Take good papers, together with
new standard farm books written by
practical men who deal only in facts.
