AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion Of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indlges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are n safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows unmstakably tho estimation In
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or ANY other injurious ingredient,
v A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"AYER's PILLS arc invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. have been
q severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing j could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physc
have ever found. 1t is pleasure TO me TO
speak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when occasion offers.

Franklin St., Richmond, Va, June 3, 1852.
81 have used AYERS PILLS in number
less instances as recommended by you, aud
have never known them 10 fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as q
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are Invaluable.
j. Il. HAYES"
Mexia, Texas, June II, 1882.
The REV. FRANCIS b. HARLowE, writing
from atlanta, Ga, says; "For some years
past j have been subject TO constipation,
from which, in spite of the use of medi-
cines of various kinds, / suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago 1
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregu-
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.

AN EGYPTIAN OSTRICH FARM.
Description of One as Given by "a Party
of Tourists.

Description of One as Given by Party
of Tourists.
Ia view Of the fact that an attempt is now
being made to establish an ostrich farm on an
extensive scale in California, and of the Pc
culiar adaptability of the climate and sandy
soil of the gulf coast to the rearing of the
birds, the description given by party of
tourists of farm of the kind near Cairo will
prove interesting. This Egyptian farm con-
tains several acres of land surrounded by
high mud walls, and is situated on the border
OF the desert. The land is not naturally in
capable of cultivation, but is rendered so be-
cause of the loose, pebbly sand, that is
essential to the well-being of the
ostrich. There werS on the farm. 100 birds
OF over years growth, Of which IL we're
female and IL male adults-that is, they were
more than three years old, at which time thew
commence TO lay. Twelve of the Is female
adults were laying at the time of the visit of
the party and three were engaged in Matching
--one beng upon ~, one upon ID, and one
upon IL eggs. The male bird does more in
the Matching line of the business than the fe-
male, especially during rainy or cold weather,
and not inirequently undertakes the whole
ofthe tedious work, being only relieved by
the female bird when it is necessary Tor him
to feed. Mr.. Wetter, who has charge of the
business. has been very successful in domesti-
eating the bird in Egypt. OF 1908 os-
triches Matched last season, SO yearlnes
are now alive and healthy. THIS result was
accomplished under somewhat adverse condi-
tons, for during the late rebellion of Arab the
young birds were very much neglected. AT
the incubating house the ostriches of this sea-
sons Matching we're inclosed in wire cage,
and were found scampering about, full of
health and vigor. The yearling birds were
parked in an Enclosure, and kept entirely sepa-
rate from the rest of the osriches The
farmer took up an egg which had been sub
jected to the incubating process, and by apply
ing II TO a hole cut in piece of darkened
cardboard and placing it against the sun,
showed the party young bird actually peck
ing at the interior of the shell and struggling to
break out ofprison.

Church Music.

- In his essay read before the National Mu' sic Teachers' association, at the recent meet ing. Mir. s. B. Whitney. of Boston, said: take it that the office of music in the church ia two-fold in it's nature, not only to express but also to excite or stimulate devotion. It reaches in this way the multitude of wor- shippers, those who can join as well as those bo1whom nature has denied the gift of g 'ng- Music for the church should be distinctive In it's form, like the architecture of the temple in which it is rendered. It demands strict form as alone suited to it's dignity and gravl- ty. We must have strictness of form to see it unmistakably apart from the lighter uses to which style less severe IS adapted Striotness, severity of technical idea. IS cer- tainly not any hindrance to grace or sweet ness, any more than the bony structure or the human form is hindrance to the mar velous beauty of the most illnstrious exam pies of the severity of mathematical accura- oy and strictness of scientific principle to the highest beauty in architecture. In these cases it is obviously the only condition or perfection. So let our church music be dls-
 tinctly Gothic in it's structure, but net car penter's Gothic, with just enough of coun-
 terpoint to condemn it as far as the unlsarned
 gre concerned, and not enough to save it as
 something of any intrinsic value to the truly musical Let the young composer who en. ters this sacred field determine that he will
