False economy has brought down q
famous E1dystoLe lighthouse. VIII n
John Smest N sucCe s!ully compl-,eu
the diff ut work oyer a century ago,
by dovetsiling together and into e
solid rick courses of stone. OF which
the structure was made, he u;covered q
small cavern 10 the reef, dirt cIly under
the foundation, which ne thought
might give trouble in the future. He
recommended that this should be filed
up at once, q labor which would cost
$3.50 The government, however,
declined to do this. and the incessant
action OF the waves, assisted, perhaps,
by the weight and vibrations of the
tower itself, hiss enlarged the cavity
until the whole great pile must be
taken down. Had Smeaton's advice
been followed there Is every reason to
believe that the building with which
his name is inseparably associate
would have sto, forever.
TnsokeraS's character of "FvkeI" Is
said 10 have been drawn from a Mr.,
Andrew Arcedeckne. This Mr.. Arce-
deckne probably had in mind when on
the evening of Thackersy's frs, lecture
in London he entered the club-room
where the lecturer was receiving the
compliments Of divers literary friends.
The London World describes Arcedeck-
ne az planting himself IN front of the
literary giant and thus exclaiming: :
"How do you d., Thack? l was at
| your old show this afternoon yes.
What lot of swell old women you had
got there, to be sure-yes. Ben very
much complimented, 1 daresay-yes.
But don'l mind saying, that to me it
was deucld slow. Pill tell you what it
/, Thack, you want piano"

they are without a rival, and with proper diet
never fail TO euro Dyspepsia. Taken into the
stomach, THEY IMMEDIATELY GO ABOUT
THEIR WORK, removing all distractions to
the General Good Health, whatever those OBJ
structions may be.
If taken in time to remove the bile from the
stomach, they will counteract the causes which
commonly produce the Yellow or Bilious Feyers,
Fever and Ague, Bilious Collie, Pleurisy, Worms
Dyscntery, Vomiting, Sick and Foul Stoma,
Headache, Lossof Appetite, Flatulency, Spasms,
coughs and Colds, rheumatism, etc. Many
days of sickness and hours of distress may be
avoided by timely dose of MoRLEY's T-X-S
LIVER PILLS.
They are SO certain in their effect, that one,
and not more than two doses, taken as directed,
gives full and lasting relief, entirely exploding
the old theory of taking "peck" of pills to
cure "pint "of disease, and every family should
have them on hand for their protection, and
relief when required, for those who have used
them find the benefit they seek.
