Dyspepsia

Is one of the most prevalent of diseases.
Few persons have perfect digestion.
One of Ayers Pills, taken after dinner,
or dose at night before retiring, never
fails to give relief in the worst cases,
and wonderfully assists the process of
nutrition. AS a family medicine, Ayers
Pills are unequaled.

Warner Miller's Chances for Cabin,

Warner Miller's Chances for Cabinet
Position Said to Be Diminishing.
New YORK, Nov. 19.-It was said at the
Fifth Avenue hotel that the parting of
Warner Miller and Senator Hiscock last
evening, who have both gone home, was
not in the spirit of amity that bodies well
for the chances of the big four holding to-
gether on cabinet making. Mr.. Miller
seems to have already begun to fear that
there is likely to be an effort to keep him
out Of the treasury. Having taken occas-
ion to say so, as the story goes, he was
rather vehemently disputed against by Mr..
Hisccck What the result will be can not
be determined until the reassembling of the
four and their meeting with the conference
of Republican big guns which is to help
Gen. Harrison out with the work.
The Herald this morning has an Albany
special which tends to confirm the report of
Senator Miller's diminishing chances for a
place in the Cabinet The Herald's special
says that Senator Platt is on top in the con-
test for Gen. Harrison's favor and will be
given the Postmaster Generalship, while
Miller will be thrown overheard.

Egg Laying Extraordinary.

The turtle had assembled the beach to
point above high tide, had stirred up the
sand, leaving great heap over her eggs,
and returned to the water but short
time before we landed. This was shown
by the ebbing tide, which had retreated
only short distance from her last tracks.
The eggs were laid in bunch and covered
with sand a foot and half deep. There
were just 139 of them. They resemble a
white rubber ball, an inch and half in
diameter. The sea turtles eggs have
peculiar flavor, but are very palatable.
The CLAIR becomes tough and leathery by
boiling. and is always thrown away.
The breeding season of the loggerhead
tchclonis caretta) lasts from May well
into August, according 70 the statement
OF our guide, who also said that they de-
posted eggs several times in this period,
producing as many as $50 at the first lay
ing, and perhaps no more than two or
three at the last. The natives make
business like search for these eggs each
year, and sometimes surprise the female
turtle on the beach. When she has once
begun the egg laying process it has to be
finished, even If she is turned on her back
and made prisoner Immediately after
The extraordinary egg producing power of
these animals is all that preserves them
from immediate extinction. Popular

A Lesson in Gloves.

By the by, have you seen those most cu-
rious gloves, undervests and stockings that
fill a window on Broadway? They call i.
Primrose but it is the brightest, most
glazing, most assertive yellow l have ever
seen in my life. Who in the world would
have courage to clothe herself in this get up,
The gloves and stockings are sufficiently long,
with the assistance of the silk shirt, to en-
tirely cover the body, and l am wondering
what ballet dancer will add to it all with u
black sash and make herself study in yell
low and black for the front row.
When will women learn that gloves intense
in color simply make their hands look large
and prominent? For, really, anything that
attracts attention at once to the hands only
increases their size. That is one reason why
white gloves have such an abonlinable effect.
Don't you remember the old fashioned photo
graphs where people had their hands ar
ranged in the most conspicuous manner over
the backs of impossible chairs-that is, i'm
possible out of a photograph gallery-and
where the first thing you saw, or rather the
first thing that struck you, was the deadly
whiteness of the hands and their immense

Just the Same as NIIIIionaires.

A fashionable craze among men Of
small means is to have bank account
and TO make al payments by check. The
savings banks ordinarily do not permit
deposits to be drawn out by checks, and
when money is taken from the institution
the pass book has to be presented to the
cashier, and most of the national banks of
this city require $500 to be placed in their
hands before they will open a current ac-
count A few of the larger institutions
require deposit of from 81, 900 to $1,000.
The banks stipulate that the deposit shall
never be less than the sum they require to
open the account, but this rule is not en-
forced in all banking institutions. The
deposit of $500 is in some of the small
institutions not enforced, and very often
if the accounts could be seen the balance
to the credit Of the depositor is only few
dollars.

Of settling any account" said a cashier

And fills every heart with dismay.
Oh, bold is the frost that comes dipping and dip
Its hands in each river and riI,
Till it stops their bright smiles and frolcsome

And bids their blue wavelets lie still.
Then it trails its fierce hands DER the innocent

And withers the valley and hill.

Well Water of Doubtful Quality

As the country becomes older, wells which
formerly yielded coed water are becoming
unreliable, and late il the season furnish
water of doubtful quality. This fact is well
understood in cities where artificial supplies
of water replace that from wells The same
impurity in the water doubtless exists in
many country wells, and is the cause Of sick
ness and death at this season of the year. If
the well is low have it cleaned out. This
should be done wherever possible every two
or three years. Most people will be surprised
at the amount of impurities to be found in
old wells whose waite. they may for years
have been drinking. Ii the well never gets
low enough to be cleaned out its water
should be filtered before being considered fit

Let Us Remember Home.

Let us make flannel shirts for the Hotten-

But let us not quite forget our homes. IL our

for cups of cold water, and sad, weary hearts
will gladden. and grow fresh again when the
cup is given, unasked by thoughtful, low
ing hand. The small offerings cost SO little!
There is nothing in the world that costs so
little and is yet so priceless. The fire burn
ing brightly upon the hearth, the favorite
dish upon the table, the cold water to the
humble laborer when evening calls him home,
and the baby lifted from the mothers tired
arms, strong hand at the heavy kettle, an
appreciative word for the capital bread and
the nice tea-this is the cup, returned full
and overlooking, that half banishes the cares
of the day, and brings new light into loving
eyes. The old fashioned song played and

fingers that thread the needle for grandma's
fading eyes, the word Of tender cheer for the
grieved child-these ere such little cups, and
yet they are so blessed!-St. Louis Magazine.

ABUSE OF TIE TOOTH PICK.
An Unobjectionablc Little Instrument
When Used at Proper Times.

An UnobjectionabIc Little Instrument
When Used at Proper Times.
The tooth pick, when used with discretion
and at proper times and in proper places, is
an unobjectionable little instrument It's
occasional employment is, as a rule, neceS-
Sary to cleanliness and the preservation of
the teeth. So, also, is the use Of the tooth
brush. This adjunct of the toilet is, however
never used in public. The person who, after
partaking of a meal, should proceed to pub
lcly use his tooth brush would speedily find
himself banished from decent society. Yet
such action would be less Objectionable TO
witness than the service TO which some peo-
pie vino pretend to refinement and culture
put the tooth pick. There is but one place in
which it may be rightly used-the dressing
roonl-and no person who has the slightest
consideration for the feelings of others will
handle it anywhere else.
1t would seem 10 be almost unnecessary to
make such statements as those in the fore
going paragraph. No one possessing any
delicacy of feeling or sgueamishneSs of diges-
ton will dream OF controvcrting them And
yet the public use of the tooth pick is daily
increasing, and has already reached proper
tions that strike the foreign visitor with
establishment and disgust, and make the
lives of many of our citizens anything but
agreeable.
The practice has doubtless grown owing to
the large number of people who live or have
lived in hotels and boarding houses, where
toothpickS were furnished with the idea that
guests would take them to their rooms, and
in some of the good hotels guests can even
now only procure toothpicks at the doors by
which they leave the dining rooms. In other
hotels and i'll many boarding houses and
also, it is sad to have to write, in some pri-
vate houses the toothpick holder is regular
ornament q of the meal table, and its con-
tents are assiduously worked
In no other country that the writer has
ever visited have toothpicks been publicly
used in private houses or in the presence of
women. An English woman or a French
woman of the better class not only never
dreams Of using toothpick before people,
but she considers it something that it is more
pleasant not even to mention. Here. how
ever, it is no uncommon occurrence to hear a
lady ask fer the to0thpicks, and select one
that she thinks viii fit her needs.-The
