The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in q
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food. restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

Dyspepsia Cured.

It would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time 1 began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care Of various physicians, and tried
o great many kinds of medicines. but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for q short time, my headache disap-
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. - Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. 1t
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action Of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. 1t Is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered. -

The Deadly Hair Dye.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
From Toledo comes a story of pc
culiar interest. a gentleman well
known as a grain operator and noted
for the glossy blackness of his hair
and whiskers, recently died. When
his friends, who had not seen him
since he fell sick, took a last look at
his remains, they saw that his hair
and beard had turned gray. Then it
was discovered that they had been so
for years, and that the dark hue OF
the gentleman's hair had been due to
peculiar hair dye that he had used
for years. 1t was also found out that
his death was caused by this hair
dye. 1t was deadly poison, and as
he drank hot tea and coffee the liquor
strained through his mustache and
carried from it little of the poison
of the hair dye. In time his stomach
became inflamed with the poison and
death was the final result.

AS the farmer looks over the expe-
riences of the past year, his mistakes
are easily discovered. If he uses the
information obtained in this way, his
circumstances will doubtless be i'm
proved by his operations for the COM
ing season. Information, gathered
by experience, is often expensive and
it is certainly slow coming. Most
crops require a year to determine
their results, and all else must await
the action of the soil and the seasons.
With the generation ofmen so short,
the demands so pressing and the
progress in all else so rapid, are far
mers to wait until, one by one, they
settle the many and varied questions
that affect the common interests as
they occur on the farm? Personal
and general history need never be

Tenant Farmers.

Nashville American.
There is popular delusion in this
country that the farmers of the
United States, in the main, own the
farms they cultivate-being land
lords and not mere tenants, as in the
old country. On the contrary, a
writer in the North American Re-
view points out, through the last CEN
sus, 1,024,62 farms rented by tenants
in the United States, and he claims
that in the five years since this CEN
sus was taken the number of tenant
holdings has increased % per cent,
raising the number of tenant-holdings
at present in the United States to a
million and quarter. In England,
Ireland, Scotland, and Wales at the
present day the total number of ten
ant farmers is 1,O69,l27. So the
United States contain a quarter of a
million more tenant farmers today
than the three kingdoms and the
principality together.
Perhaps it pays better to rent than
pay taxes, and perhaps the taxation
system is onerous and unintelligent
Something is wrong-which makes sc
many tenant farmers IN country
with so much land.

Lafagan's Logic.

Chicago Ledger.
We ask for credit, but really seek
aims.
The eloquence of all oratory is the
truth it contains.
The man whom praise makes mod
est is comparatively safe.
Luck is not reliable, but honest
work is a pretty safe investment.
1t is not necessarily hard work
alone but the kind of work that wins.
Wit, when its lash wounds, loses
sight of sensibilities that it may crack
the whip.
! have seen men waiting to be in
spired but can't say that inspiration
waits for man.
A young mans present staying
qualities are the surest index of his
ultimate success that l know of.
Many persons have nothing to
boast of except a good pedigree, and
they had nothing to do with that.
Apparently there is but one hard
road to travel in this life, and every
man believes his feet are the sorest.
Genius never accomplishes its end
unless genius is ready to work, and
hard work in turn supports genius.
The meanest coward is he who
ridicules others for failing in what he
himself had sense enough to let alone,
1t is better to be alone than in bad
company, yet be sure that your own
company will not be reproach to
you.
Without some disappointments, as
a stationary ballast, but few people
would sail as straight as they do now.
Character is simply ideas reduced
to practice. Ideas become actions,
and a mans actions prove his charac-
ter.
Seeking to evangelize the remote
heather at the expense Of those at
home seems to me pretty poor phi
losophy.
A man may set his stake and yet
not be lucky enough to reach it, but
if he did his level best he hasn't q
rival that can beat the record.
DO not give up because you do not
always hit the mark aimed at, be-
cause few people can boast of uninter'
rupted success anyhow.
The learned person who cannot eX
press himself in words without being

The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-11-06

On the 10th of this month the season
for shooting partridges opens in this
State. Birds are said to be rather plen-
tiful and rabbits are abundant in all
parts of the State. This is about the on
ly game outside of water fowl presenting
itself within the gunners range during
the fall in this section. A law passed by
the last legislature prohibits the shoot
ing of pheasants or grouse within four
years. The measure was intended to
protect the grouse set at liberty in var
ious parts of the State and give them OPP
portunity to multiply. The birds, how
ever, all migrated soon after being liber-
ated and the law has nothing to protect.
The game laws impose heavy penal
ty for dealing in game birds, purchasing
them for purpose ofsale or profit without
license. Birds, however, taken by any
member of the Delaware Game Protec-
tive Association though a nonresident,
can be taken out of the State upon the
affidavit of the possessor that the game
is not to be offered for sale.
An effort will be made to have some
change in the game laws made by the
coming legislature. 1t is held that they
operate only in the interests of few
swell sportsmen who do little else dur
ing the fall than hunt for birds.
The season. it is argued, opens too late
and is so timed that those who can af-
ford the luxury of trips into adjoining
states where the season opens earlier,
can enjoy hunt there and come back to
Delaware and catch the opening of the
season here, thus prolonging their sport
but contracting the season too as a rule
about two weeks as it is seldom fit wealth
er for hunting in December. Those who
cannot get away from business more than
a day or two at time protest against the
season being so late in opening. In
Pennsylvania the season opened Octo-
Der 18th and in all the adjoining States
game can be shot earlier in the fall than
it can be taken in Observation-Disclosures

During the evening a sumptious feast

very enjoyable time was spent. On Fri
day night the happy couple were honor
ed with another reception at the home
of the misses Campbell, and third re-
ception was given them on Saturday
night at the residence of Geo. Campbell.
Thd twain were the recipients of many
present both handsome and useful.

"Who's that ?" he asked.
"That is Howells, the writer" was the
