The Quebec Mercury asserts that
the odious vice of cruelty to animals
was quite uncommon in that city until
the legislature unnecessarily took to
passing laws to prevent it. These
laws, it says, have turned an excep-
tionably kind population into a cruel
people, the present existing form of
cruelty being that of tying kettles or
other weights to the tails of dogs and
then hunting them.

A new alarm clock, patented in
Germany by Herr Hummel, presents
some advantageous features. 1t gives
an alarm at several hours in succession
without any fresh arrangement, and
on this account is specially useful for
railroad officials and nurses. The

son reused touches a little cord. The
hands can be moved either forward or
backward without injury to the mech
anism.

hay is very beneficial to hogs, bat it is
true, nevertheless. Hogs need rough

greener the Lay the better. Gut the hay
a IS short as eats-a shorter, and mix with
bran shorts or middlings, AID feed as
other food. Hogs soon learn to III -, -
and, if soaked IL swill as other slop food
is highly relished by them. In winter
use for the hogs the same hay you feed
to your horses and you will find that,
while it saves bran, shorts or other food,
it puts on flesh as rapidly as anything
that can be given them. The use of hay
can be commenced as early as the grass
will do to cut, and when run through
the cutting box can be used to advantage
by simply soaking in fresh water until it
sours.

intrenched position at Dolores, near
Aqua Santa. The ChIian heavy cannon
decimated the ranks of the allies, whose
cavalry charged three times upon the
guns, and attempted to carry them of,
but were uncessful. In the evening the
rear of the CHILEAN force came up, and
decided the day. The allied forces were
driven back, and their camp was taken,
in which thirteen cannon we're found.
Many wounded officers, including the
Bolivian General Villegas, were taken
prisoners, and another of the allied Gen
erals were killed. The Chilian loss was

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill 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-
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 baffied 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 infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted 10 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-ooating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant TO take: while
being purely vegetable. no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

PUT ON PETTICOATS.

Ibe Indian custom is to butcher pris-
oners taken in battle. Such however
was not the practice of Tecumseh, the
great chief who, as an ally of the British
fought against US in the war of 1912.
He hated the Americans, but he fought
as q warrior, not as thug.
La 1918, Col Dudley, while attempting
TO relieve Fort Meigs, where General
Harrison was besieged by British and
Indians, was defeated with great slaugh-
ter. As usual, the Indians began killing
the American prisoners. Gen. Proctor,
the British commander, looked coolly on
and made no efforts to restrain them.
Suddenly n voice sounded like clap
of thunder, and Tecumseh, mounted on
foming horse, dashed among the butch
els. Two Indians. were in the act of
killing q prisoner. Springing from his
horse, Tecumseh seized one Indian by
the throat and the other by the breast
and threw them to to the ground.
Drawing tomahawk and scalping knife,
he dared any Indian to touch another
prisoner. \ chief disobeyed, and Te-
clmseh Drained him with his tomahawk.
The Indians sullenly desisted.
"What viii become of my Indians r.
he exclaimed. Then turning to Proctor,
who stood near, he sternly demanded
why he had not put stop to the massa.
ere.
"Your Indians cannot be commanded, "
replied the general.

Put on petticoats !" was the scornful
reply.

flesh were every day or two cut away;
and the prOstration and general distur-
bance Of the system were great. Before
/ had recovered from this attack two
smaller carabuncles broke ont higher up,
and I was again threatened with q recur-
tence Of the safferings to which had so

nothing Of this kind. [ attribute this
improved state Of my system entirely to
the Peruvian Syrup; and | feel that |
