Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
/. is an Alternative and Blood-purifer.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. It corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to healthful
condition.
Rev. T. g. A. Cote, agent OF the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some i'm.
purity Of the blood manifest but that
aperfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick W. Pratt, 4A Washington
street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to
health.''
William F. Bowker, Erie, Pa, was
cured of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayers sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

PORK PACKING

The Cincinnati Price Current says: The
aggregate packing in the west for the
week appears to be about equal to the
corresponding week last year in total
number of hogs. The fifteen leading
points gained AZ ZOO for the week, while
the aggregate for all other points, us
near as can be determined by reports re-
ceived, previous returns and estimates,
have fallen behind about equal to the
gain in the larger points. Returns
and approximations indicate that the
entire packing in the west
since November l is about $780,
600 hogs, against 3 ,215 900 year ago
decrease, Cts 600. The weeks packing
at fifteen prominent points shows $780,
900, against 3IS 200 last year; the entire
packing for the week is approximately
1870 ,0G0, against 435 900 last year The
indications are that the coming week will
moderately exceed corresponding week
last year i'll number of hogs packed. The
marketings continue to be of high quality
and unusually heavy average weight
There has been no cessation of favorable
ness in weather for feeding operations,
conducive to fattening and healthfulness
of hogs. Subsequent to week ago prices
of hogs at leading centers strengthened
somewhat and receded later, closing
about Zoe per 100 pounds lower than a
week ago. Compared with a year ago
the range in prices of hogs is narrower,
and the general average is 25@35c per
100 pounds lower. The present average
prices of Dogs is hot higher than the vim
ter season s general average last year.

Nature Questionable.
Hartford Times.

Many society women just returned from
England are using powder and paint on
their faces. Cosmetics have been very
little used among the best people for tn e
past few years, as every one knows.
Ladies were not ashamed to be seen with
"clean faces, - but it would appear that
rouge and cream balm and chalky powder
are all coming back again. 1t is well
known that the charming princess of
Wales employs a professional ''make-
up, - and that her face, neck and Shout
ders are carefully done over each day
This is the only grievance the English peo-
pie have against their beloved princess.
Perhaps our returning American prin-
cesses are under the impression that the
coming queen of England can do nothing
wrong, and so they initiate her. The
appearance of the wrinkled-up old
women who were bellies forty years ago,
and who used cosmetics most freely,
should be warning to those just begin
ming to ''touch up

WOMEN AND HAIRPINS.
The Wonderful Things Which are Accomplished
plished With Bits of Wire.
New York Graphic.

new 1OIh OIapult.
"What 1 want when l am cast away
on desert island, - said Andramache,
as she took Il hairpin out of her head
and, bending it into hook, fished her
ring out of the drainpipe with it, sis
whole package of hairpins. If ever
woman writes a Robinson Crusoe story
she will have a heroine instead
of a hero, and she will give her
hairpins to build her cottage
with and to make wire mattresses
and bustles and broilers and what not
with and she will execute feats of inge-
nuity that viii leave the Schonberg-C Gotta
family out of sight. OF course, i'll the
order of nature, - Andramache went on,
Strengthening out the small but adaptable
implement in her hand and returning it
TO her French twist; ''of course she
ought to have the back of her hair brush
TO drive and bend her pins with, but if
that would be making her too much at
home on the desert island, L
dare say she could learn
to make a stone do. You think
I'm eXaggeratiag the virtues of the little
busy hairpin, don't you? That 5 your
ignorance. If you d wear them while
you'd learn to button your boots and
gloves with them, and pin back your cur
taihs with them, and make hooks of them
to hang your bric-a-b Tac on, and use
them TO clean your nails, with, ana
to mend your umbrella, and to
file your papers on, and TO pick
nuts with, all just as a matter OF course.
No, didn t say take them out of your
hair TO pick nnts with, you hateful, mean
thing OF course you go and get new
ones, virgin hairpins, out of the pack
ages, for that, and they are the best
nutpickers going, too. But these are
not half what you can do with them. 1t
is at boarding school we first find out
their true value. That is one of the best
Insults of the modern system of educa-
ton as far as is seen.
''You see that curious little spoon
made out of shell up there in that little
cabinet? You thought it was some sort
of South Sea island curiosity or came
from Madagascar or the Pueblo Indians
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-12-27

or something like that, didn't. you?
Well, it ism It. 1t was produced by just
the unassisted genius and labor of an
everyday American boarding-school
girl. She wanted to give a secret mid
night spread in her rooms, and she
couldn t get hold of spoons to eat jam
with, so she just turned to and fitted
lot of little shells with hairpin handles
and then wound them-the handles
with ribbon, and they were not only
pretty but useful-a great Improvement
on eating jam with nailbrush handles, as
we did before that.
''That girl was the belle of the school
until another girl picked the pantry lock
with hairpin and we gave the teachers
the biggest kind of a burglar scare.
What they were most afraid of was that
the girl who picked the lock would leave
the school because she was so dreadIully
frightened to stay where such things hap
pened. The last feat saw one of my sex
perform with a hairpin was
high, heroic deed. Ny sister.in-
law last week found her three-year-old
son and heir had climbed out of the third
story window and was praneing aroun4
on the edge0 the back roof; her heart
wasin her mouth; she did not dare to cal
him or go-to him for fear that would
startle him and make him tumble: he,was
squattinS by thetin gutter, carefully ex-
aiming its contents. What dill she do?
Why, sheliad hairpins, didn't she? She
WASH ia hopeless, helpless, resourceless
man with seventeen pockets and not pin
of any kind on his Whole person. She
just chose the biggest, sharpest-pointed
hairpin she had45s bent it into hook,
wired it into ajbroop. handle with the
help of anothf, and In. less time than
you can think hooked that young man
by the belt from behind and hauled him
in. you don t half believe it: Why,
what else'would she have done, pray,
Master Impertinence? You come with
me and I'll prove it to you By show
