AL IN THE FAMILY.

Harry B. Smith is one of the editors
of America, the new weekly journal,
and one of his duties is to pass upon
poetry offered for publication. One day
last week he received a very pretty little
typewriter poem signed by a lady
whom he had never heard. The poem
was accepted and check for its value
was Immediately sent to the lsdys ad-
dress, together with a note from Mr..
Smith pralsing the poem and asking the
author TO send in more manuscripts.
The next day Mrs. Harry b. Smith pre-
scented the check and drew the money
for it,-[Chicago Times,

are very highly commended.
In this June number Mr. KEENAN, gives an
interesting account Of his visit to the for
warding prison at Tiumen, where he found
double the number Of prisoners confined
than there was room for.
) In reply to a question from Mr. Kennan
as to how many prisoners died during the
year, the warden replied:
"About three hundred. We have an cpl
demic Of typhus almost every fall. A
prison so overcrowded can not be kept
clean, and as for the air in the cells, you
know now what it is like. The local author
tiles here have again and again urged the
Government to mako adequate provision
for the large number Of exiles crowded in.
to the prison during the season of naviga-
ton, but thus far nothing has been done be-
yond the building Of two log barracks"
In the overcrowded women's prison Mr..
KEENAN, says he found no criminals-all Of
the occupants were voluntarily going into
Punishment with their husbands.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vanly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums"- the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should DO
strictly followed.
j. 7. Teller, NJ. D., Of Chittenango,
n. V, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
saws: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and | think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action, Is the concise testimony
of DR.. George L. Walker, Of Martins
Vile, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used
them, will have no Others" Berry,

May do for a stupid boys excuse but
what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
TO recognize the want of tonic and
blood-purifer? Formerly, a course OF
bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule In well-regulated families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan s. Cleveland, q Z. Canton ST.,
Boston, writes: " My daughter, now n
years old, was in perfect health until
year ago when she began to complain of
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
indigestion, and loss of appetite. | con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her to take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood-mdking organs to
healthy action, and in due time TeGstab-
lished her former health. l find Ayers
Sarsaparilla most valuable remedy for
the lassitude and debility incident to
spring time"
j. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co.,
Brooklyn, N. Y, says "As a Spring
Medicine, 1 find a splendid substitute
for the old-time compounds in Ayers
Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of Ayers
Pills. After their use, feel fresher and
stronger to 60 tn 'Ough the summer"

Diet of Old Farmers.

In regard to food, the evidence is SO uni
formly one way that those who advise n sim
pie diet, and those who cry out against meat,
must either hold their theories to be above
facts or give them up. There is certainly
nothing simple about the diet of New
England farmer 1t consists of salt and fresh
pork and beef and all sorts of common fish
and vegetables, almost always poorly cooked,
and pies and cakes of the most indigestible
sorts. The food is plain" truly, and gives
the digestive organs an abundance of work
to do, but it is not such food as theorist
would recommend TO one who desired to live
near up to the century mark Tea and coffee
have certainly proved that they do not tend
TO shorten life, even if they do not prove that
they help to prolong it, The generally &c
cepted theory in relation to stimulants, that
in excess they are not life sustaining, receives
strong support. Tobacco appears to prove
itself harmless, at least on the temperament
Of these people. Whether it be a help to live
long requires other evidence.
While the farmers of New England and
their wives are a clearly people, they are not
much given to bathing. This neglect may
not have prolonged their existence or made
them more healthy, but it is to be presumed
that 1t has not cut Off many years or caused
much disease. Neither are the members of
these households well informed in relation to
sanitary matters. They know little of the
unseen dampness TO which the human system
is SO constantly exposed, and, knowing little,
care little. May not this be an influence in
favor of prolonged existence, paradoxical
as the superstition may seema-Clement NJ.
