80. yes; there's difference in
travelling men," said Franklin street
merchant. "Some men will take a
thousand-mile trip, visit all the promi-
nent points in four or five States and
return home with an expense account
of about 81 day, while others will go
over the same territory and spend $6
or 81 day. The man who gets over
the country in the shortest time, makes
the most sales and returns to the house
with the smallest expense account is,
of course. valuable agent. The ex-
pensive drummer is sometimes of great
value in spite of his prodigality. AS a
rule he makes many friends, is more
liked by the customers and gives the
house by whom he is employed GER
tain amount of eclat in towns where
eclat goes long way. Then, too. the
expensive drummer is very often a
good salesman, so that, taking it all in
all, his extravagance is overtopped by
his general worth.
There are drummers, however, who
travel too cheaply. Wouldn't believe
that, would youp There are a great
number of them, however. They stop
atsecond class hotels, take their night s
lodging in a smoking car, and fit
around the country as though they had
wings. 1t costs them about $3.50 a
day to live, but they send in an expense
bill of at least 81 day. What do they
do with the differencep Pocket it, oi
course. As soon as firm finds out
that one of its men is doing this sort
of thing it discharges him in short or
der. for it isn't business, you know,
and then, besides, it isn't tjust right. y

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE

The House reassembled at 2:o3 o'clock.
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Aholo, from the Finance Committee.
presented the following report on the item
in the Appropriation bill-"Road tax I'M
expended to be expended on the districts
where collected, $67 1916 IL"
Hon. J. S Walker, President Legislative
Assembly-Sir: Your committee, in ac-
cordance with the instructions of the As
sembly, have examined carefully into the
matter of the item of road tax unexpended.
We find that the amounts reapprOpriated
under this head by the Legislature of 1882
and 1884. and the amount now proposed
by the Appropriation bill, are all incorrect
Your committee, therefore, ascertained
first the correct amount uneXpended in
each district on March 81, 1882, by care
full examination of the books of the Finance
and Interior Departments. To these
amounts are added the receipts in each
district during the four years ending March
81 1885. From the amounts thus OBJ
tanned we deducted the amount expended
in each district during said four years, and
the balances thus obtained are the amounts
which should be now reappropriated.
Your committee present herewith
statement showing the above calculations
in detail, and recommend that the balances
of road tax unexpended in each district as
shown therein be appropriated separately
in order that no confusion may arise here
after on this subject. If the amount is APP
propriated in a lump sum- the Minister of
8 H.,
any district overdraws, as he has only an
account with the whole appropriation; but
if it is appropriated by districts be can see
at a glance if any attempt to Overdraw is
made.
The total amount of road tax unex-
pended in the districts where collected as
per said statement is $50 ,592 II, instead of
So. $40 II; a difference of SIS, 116.

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
hammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years. By the
advice OF physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine a short time was completely

Ny eyes are now in q splendid condi-
ton, and I am as well and strong as ever.

For number Of years / was troubled
with o humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until l commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected o complete cure, and L
believe 1t to be the best of blood puri-
fers. &C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. Fl.
From childhood, and until with few
months, / have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. / have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider 1t
great blood purifier. = Mrs. q. Phillips,
Glover, vt.
I suffered for o year with inhamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me OF sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles OF this medicine / have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infIamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. = Kendall

My daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dalton OF a friend purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
