CaGhartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately adj
justed to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect They are the result
OF years of careful study and practical eS-
pertinent, and are the most effectual REM
edy vet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which. require prompt and effectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi-
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one Of the many
proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues OF purely vegetable substances,

any injurious properties, Il can be admin

While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate 70 purify and enrich the blood, and

were nearly torn off before the gearing
stopped. His right arm was broken in

respected. She had been teaching school
for several years past. She was seen

ST. JOINS Republican One of the
most foolish things done by the last
Legislature was to pass act No. 33, re-
curing the Secretary of State to pub
lish the monthly gues-es of correspond
ents in each town in the State in regard
to the acreage and condition Of crops.
These reports are expensive and absO-
lutely worthless. What we want are
facts. If the Legislature would pass a
law requiring Supervisors to collect such
statistics with more care, while taking
the assessment, and then promptly re-
port to the county papers for publica-
ton, the people would be placed in pos
session of useful information instead of
wild guesses.

The principal food of the Maoris il

they have potatoes, the kumera or yam,

the kernel of the koraka. These two
latter, when gathered, are put in kits and
stepped in water until the beginning Of
spring, by which time, as one may sup.
pose, they are quite putrid. They are
then taken out and eaten with much
gusto by the Maoris. The stencil pro-
ceeding from these kits when taken out
of the water is indescribably horrible.
Sometimes potatoes undergo the same
process. Potatoes cooked in kopa
pronounced copper is perhaps the best
method known. A large hole is first
dug, in which large number of red hot
stones are put. The potatoes, which
have been washed, and are quite wet,
are put on top, and then securely GOV.
cred with mats and earth put on top.
In this way they are left perhaps ten
minutes or quarter of an hour, after
which the covering is removed, and
there the potatoes are, done to nicely.
The chief native industries are mats and

from the fiber of fax. Some of the lat

dyed in variety of colors. They go in

Amusement for Stray Moments.

Among the many pleasant employ
ments for long evenings there are none,
perhaps, pleasanter than making scrap
books. The old pictures and prints can
be collected at all times there are 80
many that are torn up and wasted In
almost every home; an odd magazine
nowadays will be q mine of wealth to
the young collector, and the illustrated
papers will furnish materials for many
an evenings work These scrap books
are pretty for Christmas presents to chill
dren. You may take glazed muslin of
different colors, one of blue, one
of pink, one of white, etc.,
yard of each; fold each into
six squares, or, if you have large
pictures, fold into four. Lay them
evenly together aud stitch one side
strongly, then cut the other sides into
points with sharp scissors. Trim the
pictures neatly and begin on the third
page, leaving the outside leaf for cover.
Starch is best to fasten the pictures to
the muslin. Lay them face down, brush
the backs evenly and quickly with the
starch, then raise carefully and put them
in place. A page may be arranged with
. large picture in the centre and smaller
ones nicely grouped. Amargin of about
an inch should be left around each large
picture. When page is arranged and
partly dry, it should be pressed with
warm iron. The cover may be decorated
as you please, border worked with
worsted, and name and title in letters
cut from the headlines of papers.
There are many large prints in the
illustrated papers thatare well worthy OF
preservation. 1t will be found pleasant
work to make collection of them and
mount them on cardboard, white or
tinted, either for framing or for port
folio. This is delicate operation and
requires practice to do it we'll. The en-
craving must be laid face down upon q
smooth board or table, and thoroughly
wet; use sponge and perfectly clear
water. You may give it tone, if the
paper should be too white, by using q
weak solution of tea. When wet on both
sides place it between two pieces of blot
ting paper, laid between two panes of
glass. Place this under a heavy weight
when nearly dry the damp plotting pa
per must be exchanged for dry. When
dry run your paste brush lightly around
the edge, and place the picture carefully
on cardboard, putting it again under the
weight for few hours. There should
be no wrinkles when it is done. Pencil
and crayon drawings may be treated in
the same way.
1 know of nothing that shortens
long evening so admirably, or that makes
bed time come 80 early as this work
among pictures. 1t is equally efiicacious
for stormy Saturday. Many time in
the past have more than limited wish
for rainy Saturday, when pictures and
scraps had accumulated.

1t may not be generally known that
the "squeezer known also as the
"coffee mill squeezer and used in all
our puddling-mills, is the invention of a
woman. Some twenty years ago, nc.
cording to veteran iron-worker, the
only form of squeezer was the "alliga-
tor squeezer," which slowly and labori-
ously reduced the ball into bloom, in
volving the use of tremendous amount
of muscular labor. The wife OF pud-
dler, whose trips to the mill with her
husbands dinner had familiarized her
with the workings Of the "alligator,"
went home and pondered over the thing.
When the other half came home she
was grinding coffee, and asked her hus-
band if the motion of this homely ma
chine couldn't be adopted in squeezing
muck balls. The answer is not recorded
out it is stated on very good authority
that shortly after this conversation the
"coffee mill squeezer superseded the
"alligator" here and elsewhere. Pitts

An interesting surgical operation was
performed lately at Chicago by DIR. Fen
ger and Prof. w. X. Harrison, which
will undoubtedly prove of especial inter-

as it is the first successful one OF its
kind on record in this country. Itseems
that some two years ago lady residing
in Wisconsin thrust her hand through q
pane of glass, cutting off all the tendons,
nerves and blood vessels at the wrist. A
physician sewed the wound, which in
time completely healed. Inside of the
last year, however, deadening sensa-

which resulted in the arm aud hand be-
coming completely useless. At this pc

MELISSA REMsB URG was the daughter
of farmer near Kansas, Ohio, and had
two lovers. One of them was her own
choice for husband, and the other the
choice of her parents; SO she concluded
to simplify matters by marrying both,
which she did in the same town, on the
same day, and made the best time on
record. The parents choice was young
farmer named Wyant, and at p. m. she
married him in a hotel parlor at Tiffin.
At $50 she excused herself from the
new bridegroom, asking him to wait for
her; and, putting on her bonnet and
cloak, left the house. At o'clock she
met Cline, her other lover, on the street,
and with him went to the Probate
Judges Office to get license. The
Judge told her he had issued a license
to another man only few hours before.
She became very indignant, declared
that it was trick, and the credulous
Judge, believing her story, issued an
otbor. Taking the document with them,
the couple went to Justices office and
were married. The groom then hired q
team at the livery stable and drove six
miles to the next railway station, where
both took the Baltimore ana Ohio train
for Chicago.

thus "In the standard dollar about

gold than is given by France. Holland,
Germany, Austria, Switzerland and
Spain in their silver circulation, to the
extent of about 81, 900, 900, OOO BY what

PAUL BoYToN, in his trip down the
Missouri river, run across curious
matrimonial custom that the Govern
ment should look into. One night he
was entertained by a rancher named
George Mince. A comedy squaw pre-
sided over his household, and three
pretty half-breed children called him
father. To his guest he confessed the
fact that he had bought this woman at
Standing Rock Agency for horse. He
purchased Ter as substitute for his In
dian. wife whom he had bought several
years ago, married, overworked, and
maltreated until she ran away. The
squaw is kept hard at work, ant the
husband or master does not allow her to
sit at the same table with him, and beats
her whenever he pleases. What Mince
has done is a common thing among his
neighbors. "This system of female
slavery" says Boyton, sis much more
extensive than the public generally sup
poses. Scores of white men are accumu-
lating wealth from the physical labor of
these poor women and their children
Boyton says that a few years ago q
white wood cutter bought a 12-year-old
Indian girl for $3.50 at the Berthold
Agency, and it was regarded there as an
ordinary business transaction. As all
the half-breed children are entitled TO
ratlons and clothing from the Indian
agencies, the Importance of this immora
slavery, as to mere matter of govern
mental economy, is self evident. This
is a phase of the Indian question which
is kept in the background, but it is a
fruitful source OF evil and misery which
demands immediate attention.

pig in copartnership. When killing
time came they wished to divide the car
cass. The Yankee was very anxious to
divide so he would get both hind quar-
tiers. and persuaded the Frenchman that
the proper way TO divide was to cat il
across the back. The Frenchman agreed
to il on condition that the Yankee would
turn his back and take choice of pieces
after it was cut in two. The Yankee
turned his back, and the Frenchman
asked, "vich piece will you have--ze

Mrs. WEsTLAKE, of Wichita,

Mrs. WEsTLAKE, of Wichita, Kan. +,
was passenger from Pueblo, on the
Santa Fe road. Seated in front of her
were well-dressed man and woman.
There was nothing in their conduct to
attract unusual attention. Shortly after
dark both got off the train at one OF the
stations. As the cars started, the man
came in alone and took his seat, re-
NAMED for few minutes quietly, when,
without word, he rose III his seat, drew
a revolver, pointed it at his breast and
fired, and dropped dea in the passage
way. The ball passed obliquely down
and through his body, and struck Mrs.
Westlakes baby in the left thigh, near
the hip, penetrating to the bone, then
passed down and out near the knee and
through the flesh by the right heel.
When Mrs. Westlake saw the pistol at
his breast, she hastily arose In her seat,
with the intention of getting out of his
way, but he fired before she could move
from her position. She thinks if she
had remained in the seat she would have
been killed. Her child screamed, but
she thought it was from fright, and it
was some time before she discovered its
condition by seeing its clothing stained
with blood. A doctor was found aboard
the train, who temporarily dressed the
wound.
