Ayers Pills

Never fail 10 relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The

BY reaction that leaves the organ weaker

Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, of 1889 Ridge Ave-,
Philadelphia, is we'll known to the ladies
Of that city from the great good she has
dens by means of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham of recent interesting case. "a
young married lady came to me suffering
with q severe case of Prolapsus and Ulcer
alton. She commenced taking the Com
pound and in two months was fully restored.
In proof of this she soon found herself in
an interesting condition. Influenced by
foolish friends she attempted to evade the
responsibilities of maternity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in most alarming state and
suffered terribly. gave her tablespoon
full of the compound every hour for eight
hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much
relieved and evidently better. She con-
tinued taking the Compound, and in due
season she became the mother of fine
healthy boy. But for the timely use of the
medicine she believes her life would have
been lost"

A Bachelor of Arts as n Policeman, and
How He Happened to Become One.
Patrolman Smith--he is called Smith
for the reason that this is not his name
is graduate of the University of Michi-
gan. He can write B. A. after his
name, but does not make practice of
doing so. In appearance he is not
strikingly different from the non-clas-
steal policeman. He walks much the
same as though he had never been in
the academic shades of university.
He arrests crook in the same severe
fashion that the rest of the force use.
He was just coming out of patrol
box when he was met by former class
mate-a lawyer.
"Smith, is it possible that you have
become policeman" asked the law
yer.

trements indicate the position that |

hands.

WASHEE-CHECKEE.

The Complicated Process by which Chi
nese Laundrymen Cheox Their Goods.
A customer enters and leaves, say
five shirts, eight collars and five cuffs.
John attaches to each of the lot linen
tag marked in tea-chest characters. On
each of the shirts is put tag which
reads ''Moon;" the eight collars are di-
vided into two bundles of four each
and likewise marked "Moon;" the
cuffs are similarly labeled. Then in
the journal John enters the transaction
about as follows: April 4, 1885, check
No. 101, eighteen pieces-five shirts,
eight collars, five cuffs, checked
''Moon." To the customer he gives a
ticket the duplicate of the entry ex-
cepting the check. The next
customer is checked "horse."
Other favorite check-words are
''lion;" 'devil," property" good
ness" .man,' "angef," etc. These
check-words are changed usually once
q week, so that the laundryman can
tell from his tag the date of any lot of
linen. The ticket given customer
has agreater significance under Chinese
law than an ordinary receipt, and may
be justly ikened to a pawn-ticket. Its
possession is badge of ownership.
In case of loss or destruction the Gus
toner should, under Chinese rules, APP
ply to magistrate and enter
into an agreement corresponding
10 the American indemnity bond.
1t takes John long time to
realize that a wash-ticket is merely
q receipt. Usually three lawsuits and
an arrest for larceny are required be-
fore he recognizes the difference be-
tween Chinese and American lawn

A Joke On Smith.

4 Galveston female school teacher
WAS on very intimate terms with the
male teacher in the same school. He
was in the habit of strolling into her
room during the recess, and chatting
with the object of his affections. His
name was Smith.
One day the lady teacher endeavored
to make the class comprehend the ON
nipresence of God. She explained to
them that God was everywhere.
':Now, my dear children, suppose
you all go out of this room except my
self, and l stay in here. Am alonep"
asked the female teacher.
NO." exclaimed one of the little
girls, "Mr. Smith will be with you. -

SonEster-WonderfuI Mimlcry.
remember distinctly hearing a
thusher often repeating in its madcap
song some notes new TO my ear, which
could not be ascribed to any Michigan
bird of my acquaintance. After
patiently waiting for some time in the
glaring sun of a bright June day
heard the notes so plainly that l was
thoroughly convinced they were an
imitation of the song of southern
bird-the ''chuck-will's widow" so
called, a species allied to our whip
poor-will, and named-it is our familiar
northern representative of the family
from the words so plainly uttered.
This thrush learned, then, the notes of
the chuckwil's widow at least five hun
bred, and probably quite
thousand miles from Michi-
gan, and yet reproduced them
so distinctly that one could easily
distinguish them, and from mere de-
scriptions in books at once tell the
name of the bird initiated
Here, mounting to the top of the
tallest tree near its nest, it pours forth
ecstatic melody, executing the most
difficult strains with the same ease that
it delivers the simplest news. All
noises are attempted: the schoolboy's
whistle, the bark of dog or the bleat-
ing of lamb are equally well executed
and issue from its throat in continu-
Gus, harmonious strain, frequently of
an hours duration. What wonderful
mimicry; what contrast to the best
attempts of ventriloquists and imita-
tors travelling through the country to
reproduce before audiences few num-
bled sounds or attempted limitations of
the sounds and notes uttered by birds
and mammals.-Dr. Glib, ia Forest
and Stream.
