Further small gains were recorded in the

made up their minds, and reported that the
placing OF loan was hoax and began to
hammer the market again in their old style.
The official announcement of the final

this evening.

Dyspepsia Cured.

It would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care Of various physicians, and tried
great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for short time, my headache disap-
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by tho
prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilia. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.

MISCELLANEOUS.
he First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeehed system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fail.
was troubled with distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. [ tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
e. L. Williams, Alexandria. Minn.
I have used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. havo
also prescribed it as tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and must say that honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever compounded.-W.F F. Fowler, NJ. D.,

A LOVERS PRAYER.

Helpless, alone stand. Give me your hand;
Lead me across life's turmoil and despair
Take me away to Loves sweet blossom land,
Out of this darkness into light and air.
Give me your hand to wander through my hair,
To pass across my forehead: let it touch
Ny lips, just once, that murmur you are fair
And tender Sweet do not ask for much:
Give me your handl
Midnight has closed me round Give me your
eyes,
That may wake TO see life's loneliness.
And gaze into mirrored paradise,
Where we may wander on, no less, no lessl
Give me your eyes, that may look you through,
Unfold your soul discover how your heart
Trembles at loves awakening All, you
You will be merciful Ere depart.
Give me your eyesl
Behold your supplianti Give me your heart,
All that it is in it nat is very pure.
Your wonan's sanctity, the counterpart
OF gifts the angels give you that endure:
Give me your heart, that l may set it round
With pearls of prayer, and rosaries recite
or deep thanksgiving Let me feel I've found
A way TO peace out of LIES darksome night;
Give me your heart

How Fashions are Made.

But in the course of time the trades
men of England followed him up as
the tradesmen of Paris had done, and
it is recounted of him that one day
being caught in his private dressing
room by tailor who ragged, and said
he would not leave until he had been
paid his bill. Count D'Orsay listened
theughtfully for a time, fixing his
eyes upon package that the irate
tailor had deposited upon chair
This package was cnveloped in
coarse sort of canvas.
"Have you much of that stuff in
your shop7" said Count D'Orsay.
"What kind-that ugly canvas 7
If 1 wanted it I could tomorrow have
enough to wrap up all the merchan-
die in the London docks"
"London docks % said the Count !;
"don't talk nonsense. Come to me
tomorrow at four o'clock and take
my measure for pair of trousers cut
from this canvas"
In vain the tailor endeayored to
disuade the Count, stating that the
canvas was not suitable for garments,
and in a short time Count D'Orsay
was supplied with the canvas trousers.
At five o'clock one afternoon he
climbed the vast staircase of Crock
ford's, then one of the fashionable
clubs of London, and the first person
whom he met was Lord Chesterfield.
Upon my word" said the noble
lord, "you have singular garment
there, something rare without doubt
Always the same original and charm

The Count received the compliment
with some confusion.
