AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
lions 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
fal 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 purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
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
from their use in any quantity.

vocabulary new American term intended to
account for the otherwise unaccountable
popularity of politicians. They say they

new word.

The London Economist estimates that
the immigrants coming to this country
during the current year bring with them
$35, 600, 900 in specie, while their average
value in adding to the productive resources
of the country is 1910. The aggregate adj
dition to the wealth of the country from
this source it puts at 100000, 900, which
is probably rather large, as it is based on
an immigration Of about 700, 900 souls.

The forthcoming annual report of President
Folwen will renew a request repeatedly made to
the legislature for $4,000 to be expended
within the next few years, for new buildings
and accommodations for an engineering depart
ment, gymnasium, an astronomical observa-
tory, q museum and library, in addition to
what it already has There is no place for any
of these on suitable scale, and until they are
added. this institution will be in no condition to
compete with the colleges of the country: The
regents believe that they can present this mat
ter in such way that the necessity will be ap-
parent and speak for itself 1t is stated that the
universities Of the adjoining states have been
generously treated by their respective legisla-
lures, and the University at Madison enjoys an
income of $4,000 per year. Besides this it
has ample buildings and Accommodations, while
our o. own has been compelled to get along as best
the first time, it has reached 500, 900; but all
of this is not available, as the expense of the
geological survey, amounting to $6, 500, has to
be advanced from this fund President Folwell
states that, even now, $75, 900 is needed to
properly carry on the work they are doing.

Money Two Hundred Years Ago.

In these days Of banks and other means for
the deposit Of money it is not easy 10 realize
the difficulties of men who possessed money
in the seventeenth century. Pepys sent some.
down to Brampton to be buried, but his wife
and father did the business intrusted to them
so badly that he WAS quite wild and uneasy
with fears that it might be found by others.
Therefore at the first opportunity he goes
down himself to see after his treasure; and
the description of the hunt after it is GER
tainly one of the most entertaining passages
in the ''Diary."
He and his fathe: and wife go out into the
garden with dark lantern, and grope about
nearly all sold, and it is expected that the
school will be ready by next spring. There
are to be two fresh water tanks of $50 by
IS feet area, and with depth of IL to 10
feet, one Of which is for each sex, and salt
water tank, 81 by 40 feet, to be used on al
ternate days by the sexes. Some fun is to be
anticipated from this new departure, and it
certainly ought to be we'll patronized in these
days of wholesale travelling on land and
water. AS for learning to swim during mi
gratory stays at the sea shore in the summer,
it is not practicable.

A New Commandment,
Library Notes.

4NOtco.
In the seventeenth century the minister
of a certain parish in Scotland was the ia
nous Samuel Rutherford, the religious Or
acle of the Covenanters and their adherents
1t is among the traditions that on Satur-
day evening, at one of the family gatherings,
when Rutherford was catechising his chill
dren and servants, a stranger knocked at the
door and begged shelter for the night. The
minister kindly received him, and asked
him to take his place with the family and
assist at their religious exercises.
1t SO happened that the question in the
catechism which came to the stranger was
that which asks: Chow many command
ments are there?" He answered, ELEVEN, :"
"Eleven!" exclaimed Rutherford, am sur
prised that man of your age andappearance
should not know better; what do you mean?'
And he answered, "A new commandment
give unto you, that ye love one another;
as have loved you, that ye also love one
another" Rutherford was much impressed
by the answer, and they retired to rest. The
next morning as he threaded his way to
church through the thicket, he heard
amongst the trees the voice of the stranger
at his deyotions. The elevation of the sen
timents convinced him that it was no COM
mon man, and on accosting him, the traveller
confessed that he was no other than the
great divine, Archbishop Usher, the Primate
Of the Church of Ireland, who well fulfilled
that new commandment which he bore to
others. He it was who had come in dis
gu1se to see Rutherford in the privacy of
his own h.me. Side by side they pursued
their way to the little church, and from the
rustic pulpit the Archbishop preached to
the people, from the words which had SO
startled his host the evening before: "A
new commandment give unto you, that ye
love one another"

Insane Asylum Investigation.

AAoaAkc Aoy1UM uSestaS1ttOh.
Gov. Pllsbury, of Minnesota, on tho recon-
mendation of the attorney general, has declined
to appoint commission to investigate the orr
gin of the great calamity at St Peter, and twill
probably be left to the legislature to perform the
work. The request to the governor to appoint
an investigating commission came from the
board of trustees of the asylum. He doubted
the propriety Of acceding to the request and
the matter was referred to the legal adviser of
the state government, Attorney General Start,
who furnished the following opinion to the gov
ernor, and which was duly forwarded last week
to the chairman of the board of trustees at st.
Peter, and which will be laid before the board
at it's meeting on the 22d of December. The
following are the views of the attorney general,
and they probably coincide with the views of
the governor: Il have the honor to advise that
the application be denied. 1t is due to the
trustees and the state that full, searching and
impartial investigation should be made. Such
an investigation can only be made by an officer
or committee having power to compel tho at
tendance of witnesses and give their evidence
under the sanctions of an oath. 1 am satisfied
that committee appointed by you would be
extra judicial, possessing no power to compel
the attendance of witnesses or to enforce any
order made by it. The labors of such q COM
mittee, however distinguished it's members may
be for their ability and integrity, would fail to
satisfy the people of the state that the investi-
CATION had been thorough and impartial"

A Story by MIR. Moody.

A little story told by Mr.. Moody in San
Francisco the other night: "A man came in
to one of our meetings in the East, called
me aside, and said: I want to be Christian,
but an defaulter. have taken 81 800
from my employers, and have less than q
thousand. What shall do? Hadn't better
take what have and 60 into business, and
try to make enough to pay what owe:' No
sir, I said, you haven't any more right to
that money than if you had taken it out of
my pocket. Go and return all you have even
will not receive you while you have stolen
money in your hands, The man came
night after night, but found no peace until
he brought all the money he had ($980) and
gave it to me to give to his employers. I
took it to them. They forgave him. They
helped him, and he soon found peace in
Jesus"
