Why Ayers Cherry PectoraI is so Perfect Medicine.

Because 1t is not only the most effective
medicine for the uses to which it is
designed, but, owing to the enormous
quantities in which it is made, Is sold a.
SO low price that 1t Is placed within
the reach Of every household.
Because it Is an active curative agent,
that must be taken by drops, as pre-
scribed in the directions accompanying
each bottle, and not mere palliative
syrup that may be swallowed by
mouthfuls.

How the Electric Wire Spoils His Nices;
Plans.

The most feared enemy of the burglar, whose
unknown and unsupported presence makes it
the more dangerous, is the electric wire. The
mere suspicion sometimes of 'crib' being
thoroughly wired is sufficient to deter the burg
lar from carrying out a long cherished and well
laid plan. few years ago. says the New York
Str. gang worked industrously through a
Saturday night and late into Sunday. digging
through brick wall to get at safe containing
some ten thousand dollars. and they had almost
succeeded In reaching the objective point when
the Eight OF their lantern disclosed fine wire no
thicker than film of silk. Angr;ly and hastily
the operators packed up their tools and de-
parted. for they recognized in the little piece of
coprer thread a Waterman who could neither be
brlbed nor done away with, and to tamper with
whom would inevitably send them to prison.
various and many have been the attempts of
the burglars to beat this Waterman. but as yet
they nave not succeeded in hitting on any
plan to throw the electric sentinel off his
guard Quite number OF the banks are now
connected with police headquarters and the

NERVOUS ORATORS.
Men Who Always Shake and Tremble
Before Making a Great Speech.

Great orators are almost invariably nervous
with apprehension when about In make an i'm
portant speech. Luther, to his last years,
trembled when he entered the pulpit; the same
is true of Robert Hail. Mr.. Cough confesses
that he is always in trenor when coming be-
fore an audience. Many OF the leaders of the
House ofCommons have given similar testimony.
Canning said he could always tell in advance
when lie was about to make one of the best
speeches by chill running through him, caused
by fear Of failure. Lord Derby, father of the
present Earl. when Young man. was one Of the
best speakers in Parliament. He was known as
the prince Rupert of debate" and seemed so
self-possessed as to be incapable of embarrass-
ment. But ne said: when ain going to speak.
my throat and lips are as dry as those of O. man
who is going to be hanged" He also told the
late Sir A. Allison that 'he never rose to speak,
even In an afternoon dinner assembly without eX-
perienciDg certain degree of nervous tremor,
which did not go Off till he warmed to the sub
ject.'
1t is recorded of Cicero that she shuddered
vlsibly over his whole body when he first began
to speak" In the Life of Lord Lyndhurst, by
Sir Theodore Martin, we are told that he did
not prepare his speeches. Though like all
great orators he never rose to speak without
nervous emotion. this in no way intcrfered with
his power OF thinking as he spoke and calling
into play the tittest language to express what he
thought. The intensity with which his intellect
worked became contagious. lie got his hearers
minds within his grasp. he made them think
with him. see things with the same clearness as
he himself saw them. and so led them insensibly
up to his own conclusions" Tierney. whom

sentative of the Bath commercial fleet, the
schooner James S. Lowell, slowly moving up
the river on her arrival from Portland, where
she discharged her cargo, after sinking the
United States junketing gondola and official
pleasure yacht, the Tallapoosa. There was a
large hole forward bearing striking resem-
blance to smashed nose after pugilistic dis
pufe. This hole, which was covered with can
vas and various white patches. detractcd from
the usual neat and handsome appearance Of the
schooner. Her scars however are considered
badges Of honor. as with them she has gained
the title Of the coasting Sullivan Of the kenne-
bee.
She Will at once be repaired and put in first

that the Navy department intend to keep a close
