venlent PUBIC house oAce q week In
the winter months, and at stated In
tervals at the present time. Stepney,
Limehouse, Whitechapel. Spitalfelds
and other typical East End localities
all have their Judge and Jury.
The "charges" are always of most
outrageous as well as humorous de-
scription.
Many years ago bird fanciers' clubs
were much in vogue, but there are
very few in existence now.
One of these was for the purpose of
relieving brother birdcatcher when
in distress of a peculiar kind.
The law only allows birds to be
caught at certain times of the year,
and representatives of the lime and
twig found laying down their bait out
of season were subject to severe PEN
alties.
A weekly payment OF three pence
or six pence TO the funds OF the soci-
ETY. was sufficient to secure prompt
payment of the penalty if caught thus
infringing the law.
Another club, peculiar to the bird
catching fraternity, was once a rec
ognized institution, and we believe,
although it is not conducted on such q
large scale nowadays, that interested
parties still meet and talk the matter
over in small way.
The members are known as The
Canaries, and the latest idea or dodge
discovered in Transforming the humble
sparrow into more aristocratic bird
changing its coat to another color was
discussed and experiments made on the
table.
1t was said, too, and on good
authority, that these men were in the
habit Of further experimenting on the
birds by piercing them with red hot
needles in order to make them sing
better, but one of the Oldest dealers in
Bird Fair assured the writer that this
latter experiment had never been done
to his knowledge.
You will find in the East End clubs for
piclSpockets and their brethren, clubs
for beggars, who mass their taHings in
the way OF victuals together and par
take of q meal from the same dish;
but one OF the most curious is the
Teapot Club.
This society is supported by the
frequenters of cheap lodging houses,
whose limited exchequer will allow
them to occasionally partake of the
fragrant cup.
The teapot of the lodging-house par
lor is the common property OF the ten
ants, and in many OF the houses a
woman has it given into her charge,
while those who wish for a mug of tea
every evening can have the same guar
anteed on payment of from Id to 12d
per week.
With the subscriptions from the
dodgers ''siftings" at Is per pound. are
purchased and brcwed accordingly.
A club, too, exists in the East End only
pen to men who have met and con-
quered some recognized champion in
the pugilistic world; but among some
of the most curious we are inclined to
number those devoted TO gambling for
such small stakes as permit lads to
enter the arena of speculation and
lose.
There are scores of these places in
London. When standing at Spital-
fields Church you are within easy
reach of dozen of such haunts, and
we are now about to enter an East End
gambling saloon.-LOndon lid

Some Sayings of Holland.

Puppyism is not politeness
Every body who is somebody, can
do something.
Never content yourself with the idea
of having commonplace wife.
The apprehensions of women are
finer and quicker than those uf men.
Inspiration to a higher and purer
life always comes from above a man.
A man who is willing to enter So
ciety as beneficiary is mean, and does
not deserve recognition.
II is the general rule Of Providence,
the world over, and in all time, that
unearned success is curse.
There are fewer sadder sights in this
world than that Of mates whom the
passage of years has mis-mated
There is nothing that will tend so
strongly to the elevation and purifica-
tion OF young men as female society.
Society is not very particular what
a man does, SO that it proves him to be
a man; IL will then bow to him and
make room for him, y. q. Holland.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are SO popular is, that
while always reliable as q cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
az suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. / tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until ]
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. l took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-12-01
Dyspepsia

and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr.. GALLAGHER, a practical chemist, OF
RoXbury, Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
"a friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, i was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before had finished the second box, l
began to experience relief. / continued
taking them, at intervals, until l had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that / am now well man, and grateful
to your chemistry, which outstrips
mine"
The head and stomach are always in
sympathy hence the cause of most OF
those distressing headaches, to which
80 many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeep-
sic, N. Y, writes that for years she was
a martyr to headache, and never found
anything to give her more than tenn
porary relief, until she began taking
Ayers Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment of perfect health.
