comical lot of pictures ever seen in the

in front of the window yesterday, and
nearly all the time during the day there

a living, and who is a sister of a former
governor OF Kansas. Her husband was a
soldier iE the Mexican wal and died some
years after from wounds received while in

years, and is still trying, to get the pen

thus far without success. This lady, who
is possessed of many noble qualities of
head and heart, has for years been in
moderate circumstances financially, yet
notwithstanding that fact she has ac-

ladies have a very peculiar cigar case.
But there are two objections to its aver
becoming popular here, of which the
less important is that each cigar case
only holds one cigar. And then the
cigar case is the lady's ear. Instead Of
wearing ordinary earrings, the Burmese
ONE have a large hole in their ears
and wear a cheroot in it till wanted.
The really great advantage of this cigar
case is that it is never left behind. The
men would think 1t beneath their dig
nifty to carry cheroots in this manner,
but they do not mind helping them
selves from the wife's case. When the
king of kings wants to keep his women

strings them, so to speak, by the ear. A

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
hatulency. u~neasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspiration, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application of DIR. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, a~llaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per

Could scarcely devise fortunes more excru-
ciating than those to which the victim of
rheumatism, in the infammatory stage,
is subjected. 1t is also dangerous on ac-
count of its tendency toward the heart
and stomach. Among the benign quail
ties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is
that of expelling from the circulation
those acrid impurities to which the disease
is attributable, Analysis proves that, in
cases of rheumatism, the kidneys fail to
eliminate these impurities from the blood.
The bitters, by stimulating thrsSe nrgansto
activity, enables them to perform this all
important function, and. therefore, averts
the disease or remedies it at the outset.
The functions of digestion, aud secretion
of bile by the liver, are also BEAUTIFULLY
stimulated by the bitters, which conquers
dyspepsia and liver complaint, and reme-
dies fever and ague, bilious remittent, and
other ailments of malarial birth. II is also
the leading tonic of the age.

A prairie dogs trap Is ingenious.
Place a headless barrel over the prairie
dogs hole, and half fill it with fine
sand. The little turnover will soon
scratch his way to the top of the sand.
But the fine sand falls into the hole and
fills it up, and it can not dig another
through the half fluid particles, neither
can he climb up the sides of the barrel.
