A Gentle Hint.

In our style Of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature rain, wind and sun
shine often inlermingled in single day,--it
is no wonder that our children, friends and
relatives are so frequently taken from lis by
neglected colds, halfthe deaths resulting from
this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for immediate
use will prevent serious sickness, large Doc
tors bill and perhaps death by the use of
three or four doses. For curing consumption
Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe coughs,
Group or any disease of the throat or lungs,
its success is simply wonderful, as your drug
gists will tell yon. German syrup is now
sold in every town and village on this cont :

Story of a Lightning Rod Peddler.



He drove his team close up to the
fence, got down and raped on the

it, when he said: sMrs Gilkins am

which you are at present surrounded,
mo longer sustained and encouraged
by the noble one to whom you gave
the treasures of your hearts affection,
and bowed down to the manifold
cares and responsibilities incidental

THE real crime which Gen. Ander-

ing Board, committed, and for which
he was sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment at hard labor was not all
tering the returns-for this was not
proved-but obeying the law which
required the board to refuse to count

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLs have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions 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 bafiled 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 Dprgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements 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
frsm their use in any quantity.

ment OF the season was the grand ker-

the Tuileries. The receipts were handed
over to the charitable society Lies Amis

sales were all made at stalls by duchesses

for something in our Republic. Besides
this performances were given in improvised
theatres by the best artists in Paris
FAIRY LAND EFFTcTs

colored lights, was fairy like, and more
French women talked about being en-

weather was superb and everything was of
the most agreeable.
