The Court Of Pardons has granted a
pardon to Allan B. Shinn, who was SEN
fenced from Camden in March, 1887, for
three years, on charge of perjury. The
circumstances of the case are of peculiar
character. A police officer of Camden
was tried for improper conduct. Shinn,
on the witness stand, testified that the
officer was in certain disreputable house
in that city at certain hour on certain
day. For this he was subsequently in
dicted for perjury, and, after being con
victed, was sentenced as mentioned above
1t nows turns out that the officer was al

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-purifier.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. 1t 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 inn
purity of the blood manifest but that
perfect cure was obtained by the use
OF Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick w. Pratt, 424 Washington
street, Boston, writes: my daughter
was Frustrated with nervous debility.
Ayers sarsaparilla restored her to
health"
William F. Bowler, Erie, Pa, was
cured OF nervousness and sleeplessness

two months, during which time his

Filling Bubbles with Gas.

Soap bubble parties were quite fash
ionable little time back, and grown
people took as much pleasure in the
pretty amusement as ever young people
did. OF course you all know how they
are made, but perhaps some OF you do
not know that you can easily make them
fly up into the air like balloons. This is
how it is done; Get a rubber tube, say a
yard long, and with an internal diameter
small enough to require good deal OF
stretching to force it over the gas burner.
After you have fitted it tightly over the
burner wrap the stem Of clay pipe with
wet paper and push it into the other end
of the tube, where it must fit SO as to let
no gas escspe. Now dip the bowl OF the
pipe into the soapsuds and turn the gas
on. The force Of the gas will blow the
bubble for you, and as the gas is lighter
than the air, the bubble, when freed
from the pipe, will go rapidly up and
never stop until it collapses. -Philadei-
phia Times.

Dutch Force and Character.

The Dutch mind and the Dutch force

Horrible Custom in Spain.

A horrible custom prevails in southern
Spain of exhibiting corpses, dressed In
ali the finery obtainable, in the windows.
The people stand and gaze with as much
interest as if the CHASTITY spectacle was
one which gave them great pleasure, and
remarks and even jokes are passed freely
among them. A short time since a
young girl who was about to be married
sickened and died Of vir,flent smallpox.
Her parents dressed her in all her bridal
finery, orange wreath and veil included,
and laid her, disfigured as she was, in
the window, to be gazed at by all passers
By. After this one can hardly wonder
at the fearful prevalence of smallpox
and such like diseases in the southern
part Of the peninsula. --Cor. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Insects Destroying Timber.

Ii is said that worms are often more
destructive to forests than fires or whlrl-
winds. The insects lay their eggs under
the bark and they hatch in the darkness,
which is a necessary element for their
development. When they hatch into
the grub form they bore their way into
the sap wood and then make circle
around the tree once, twice, and perhaps
three times. before it is time for them
to turn into perfect winged insects. Til,
stops the flow of the sap and the growth
of the tree, and eventually the tree dies.
Large tracks of dense forest III Maine
have been destroyed in this way, and
sometimes tracts in the Adirondacks.
1t is claimed to be better for the forest
to let i'm the woodInan and allow him to
thin out the trees and thus give light ana
air to the earth and forest growth. These
insects will not develop where there Is
plenty of air and light, and it would be
we'll for those who own tract OF WOOD
land to bear this IN mind and thin II
sufficiently to prevent a dense, dark
growth. 1t is told of Maine man that
he held piece of forest for thirty years
and would never allow any wood to be
cut on it. When he came to examine
it he found that large part OF it had
been ruined by the girdle worm
