AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several a~ssimilatiye organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
| give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Household Hints.

A canary can be made to battle in
this way: After giving it seed in the
early morning, remove the water cup
and put in the bath tub with fresh
water, feed it only dry food, and
give no other water until evening.
They will then go to the bath to
drink, and finally will battle. A bit OF
sponge cake in the bath will tempt
them to it.
To fasten labels TO tin cans put a
teaspoonful of brown sugar in a quart
OF paste. and it will fasten labels as
securely 20 tin cans as TO wood.
Housekeepers may save themselves
much annoyance in the loss OF labels
from their fruit cans when putting up
their own fruit by remembering this.
Strong lime water is the best of
anything, but in its absence many
pack their eggs, small end down, in
common salt. Some grease the shells
with melted lard and pack in bran.
A very good way, too, is to fill col
ander full of eggs and pour over them
a teakettleful of boiling water; then
when cool pack in salt. The hot wa
ter slightly cooks the outside OF the
egg, making it air-tight. This is a
favorite way with many house
keepers

Having had occasion to travel over
the highways OF this and adjoining
counties during the last month, we
feel like giving word OF commenda-
ton TO the various Supervisors tor
the work performed In their respec-
tive districts. 1t is nearly two years
since the roads were in as good con-
dition as they are now, and the Su-
pervisors in most cases have profited
by the experience OF the last two
years. They have found the utter
impossibility OF keeping good road
in "A wet time with great bitches full
OF standing water on each side OF the
road. In most cases these bitches
have been furnished with outlets, and
thus dry grade has been secured.
We hardly think il would be possible
to get roads as bad as last winter
again, at any rate with good sys-
tenn OF drainage put into effect.
There are very Few places, indeed,
where outlets can not be had for the
bitches at the side OF the road. 1t
may sometimes be necessary to cut
through private grounds to obtain
one, but this proceeding would be OF
as much benefit to the owner as to
the highway. Let farmers, Supervi-
sors and Township Trustees work to-
gether in this matter, and the i'm
provement oflands and highways will
soon be made manifest.-Remington

One Way Of Carving . Turkey.

There is nothing a young married
man likes better than to 20 to din
ner at tn. house Of a. friend aud to be
asked to carve the turkey. He never
carved turkey in his life, and, with
an old maid on one side OF him,
watching him closely, and on the 9TH
or side OF him a fair girl for whom he
has a tenderness, he feels embar-
rassed when he begins. First, he
pushes the knife down toward the
thigh joints. He can't find the joint,
and he plunges the knife around in
search OF it until he makes mince-
meat out OF the whole quarter OF the
fowl Then he sharpens his knife
and tackles il again. AT last, while
making terrible dig, he hits the
joint suddenly, and the leg flies into
the maiden lady's lap, while her dress
front Is covered with shower of
stuffing. Then he goes for the other
leg, and when the young lady tells
him he looks warm. the air seems 10
him suddenly TO become 400 degrees
warmer. This leg he finally pulls
loose with his fingers. He lays IL on
the edge Of the plate, and while he is
hacking at the wing he gradually
pushes the leg over On the clean Ia
blecloth, and when be picks it up il
slips from his hand into the gravy
dish and splashes the gravy around
for six square yards Just as he has
made up his mind that the turkey
has no joints to its wings, the host
asks him il he thinks the Indians can
really be civilized? The girl next to
him laughs, and ne says be will ex-
plain his views upon the subject at
ter dinner. Then he sOps his brow
with his handkerchief and presses
the turkey so hard with the fork that
1t slides of the dish and upsets a COB
let OF water on the girl next to him.
Nearly frantic, he gouges away again
at the wings, gets them off in a mu-
tilated condition, and digs into the
breast Before he can cut any off
the host asks him why he don't help
out the turkey. Bewildered. he puts
both legs on a plate and hands them
to the maiden lady, and while taking
her plate in return knocks over the
gravy-dish. Then be sits down with
the calmness Of despair and fans him
self with napkin, while the servant
girls clears up and takes the turkey
to the other end of the table. He
doesn't discuss the Indian. question
that day. He goes home right after
dinner and spends the night trying
10 decide whether to commit suicide
or TO take lessons in carving.

Sounded Like Business.

He wanted her. says the Danbury
Ne,cs, but she would not give her
consent until she had consulted her
parents. SO he went into the room
where they were and modestly stated
the case.
"And you really think you love her
enough to marry her?" said the ia
Their after he had finished.
~Oh, yes, SIR" said the youth in
fervent eagerness, Il love her with
all my soul. love her better than L
do my life. She is my guiding star,
the worshipped object of my every
thought, every hope, every aspira-
ton"
He stood there with clasped hands,
his face radiant with the strength OF
his devotion. There was a moment
uofpause, and then the mother softly
asked:
What do you think of that old
MANI"
THAT sounds like business, old
woman, replied the satisfied father
And so it was arranged that the
daughter should accept her sutton

They Carried il Too Far!

Mr. Butterwick called in to see me
the other day, and, in the course OF
the conversation. he said;
I'm going to move. I can't stand
those Thompsons, next door TO me,
any longer. They're the awfullest
people to borrow things that I ever
saw. Coffee. and sugar, and butter,
and flour. don't mind so much: al
though, when woman borrOws high
priced sugar and Java coffee, and
sends sand and chickory, "a man nat
urally feels bilious and mad But
they've borrowed pretty near every
thing in the house. First it's one
thing and then it's another from
morning till night, right straight
along. Now, there's that poker. A
poker's a piece OF machinery that
you'd think anybody might go around
and buy, or, il they couldn't afford il,
they might use a fence paling to shake
up the fire. But Mrs. Thompson
seems to banker after our poker.
She borrows it fifteen or twenty times
a day, and last Saturday she sent for
it thirty-four times. She pays boy
two dollars week to run over and
borrow that poker; and she's used it
so much that it's all bent up like a
corkscrew.
Now, take chairs, forinstance She
asks US to lend her our chair three
times day, at every meal, and she
borrows the rocking-chair whenever
she wants to put the baby to sleep.
A couple OF times she sent over for a
sofa, and, when the boy came back
with it, he said that Mrs. Thompson
was mad as thunder, and kept growi-
ing around the house all day, because
there were no casters on it. Last
Monday she borrowed our wash
boiler, and we had TO put off our
washing till Tuesday. She did her
preserving in il, and the consequence
was, all our clothes wee full of pre-
preserved peaches. I've got an un-
dershirt on now that Tn mighty
doubtful il I'll ever get off, it's stuck
TO me so tight. Every now and then
she has company. and then she bor-
rows our hired girl, and all the furni-
ture; once, because L wouldn't carry
over the piano for her and take down
the chandelier, she told our girl that
there were rumors about town that 1
was reformed pirate
Perfectly scandslousl They think
nothing OF sending over after cou-
pie OF bedsteads or the entry carpet;
and the other day Thompson says to
me: .Butterwick, does your pump
log pull up easy? and, when / said
thought maybe it did, he said: We'll,
I'd like TO borrow it for a few DAYS
till / can get one, for mines all rot
ted away The only wonder to me is
that he didn't try to borrow the well
along with 1t.
And then, on Thursday, Mrs.
Thompson sent that boy over to
know II Mrs. Butterwick wouldn't
lend her our front door. She said
theirs was away being painted, and
she was afraid the baby would catch
cold When asked him what he
supposed we We're going to do to keep
comfortable without any front door,
he said Mrs. Thompson said she
reckoned we might tack up a bed

A correspondent OF the Country
Gentleman gives the following di-
rections for making cider vinegar:
Make the cider as early in the season
as possible. When the barrel is
filed let it remain where the sun can
shine upon it part Of the day. Leave
the bung out, and insert the neck end
of a bottle. This will let the air in,
while it will keep the flies out. Put
into each barrel sheet of fools-cap
paper, half a pint of white beans,
and half pint OF good brewers yeast
Or other yeast that is good. Also,
If you choose, put in "a pint OF molas
SEES Manage in this way and you
will have vinegar in about six weeks
Remember that good cider will make
good vinegar.
