The Quaker Teachers Dull Pupil

More than 30 years ago a very good private
school was taught upon the Island Of Nan
tucket, Mass, by an excellent Quaker gentle
man. Among the children who attended
were two brothers, very unlike each other.
The one. was slight in form, graceful and
attractive the other his exact opposite,
clumsy and awkward, and withal, dull. One
morning the father Of these boys called to see
the teacher, and in the course Of conversation,
was told plainly by the latter that the boy
whom We have called ''unattractive" ''never
would make anything" lyon are mistaken,
Sir, was the quick reply Of the parent. "If
YOU and live we shall hear from that boy"
Both gentlemen are deceased, but last week
the boy was heard from. His name is Charles
J. Folger. and he is Secretary Of the Treasury
Of the United States. The school master first
mentioned the incident when Judge Folger
was made Assistant Treasurer at New York
with a quiet smile at his own want Of dis
cernment. - Cincinnati Commercial.

The Washington Star says: There is a
heavy run upon the Treasury for new ten
cent pieces. All of the coins of that de-
nomination in the Treasury have been
once in circulation. They are not bright
and perfectly new as the people who
want them call for. The demand for the
ten cent coin at its brilliant stage is due
alone to the bangle that some ladies wear
upon their wrists. The average young
man wants 10 string a lot of bangles
around his girls wrist as sort of Christ
mas gage d'amour. To that ambition is
alone to be attributed the present rush for
new ten cent pieces which the Treasury
cannot supply because it has none on hand.
The New York Times says One
thing is proved by the Jeannette's expe-
dition, and that is the capacity of the hui
man frame TO endure for long periods the
intense cold and other trying conditions of
Sir John Frankln's party were alive three
years after leaving home. two of which
they spent in the ice-pack. Lieut.. Schwat-
ka experience proved that men from the
temperate zone could endure temper
ature of 60 and 20 degrees below zero
without serious Inconvenience. Lieut. De
Longs men must have endured hardships
quite as great as Sir John Frauklin's. but
with this important difference, that they
were much better equipped against them.
The story of their experiences in the long
and terrible years Of their wanderings will
be awaited with the greatest eagerness.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs Of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but efectual
cathartic is required.
