Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint. OF
l itself, but, by causing the blood TO
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsapariIIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and onlv
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that ! took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla I could see an Improvement in nv
condition. MY appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, / found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."

Friendly Advice.

came across n trio OF reminiscent
managers the other night just in time TO
hear the following, which the narrator,
Ben Stern, of the Carleton company, says
he has never seen in print:
candy McKaye was managing The
Seven Ravens when they got stranded
in Chicago. He didn't lose his appetite
over the event, however, and he sat in Il
restaurant eating one night when Vain
rata, the rope walker, who was one of
the company, came in in great distress
and asked McKaye how on earth he was
to get back to New York. 1t was the
first time he was ever stuck in this way
and he couldn't stay in Chicago and
starve.
"'Well, there's nothing TO keep you
from going back to New York, said Nc
Kaye; the company's broken up and the
way is open
"'But, great heavens, | haven't cent!
"'Now, look here said McKayc;
aren't you the greatest wire walker in
America:
"'Of course Wainratta said.
"'NelI, there are wires all the way
from here to New York. Id advise you,
by the way, to travel at night; the tele-

A Mountain Meadow.

Mount Rainier, which rises to a height
Of 14.444 feet from the shores of Puget
sound, is the most beautiful of the noun
tains Of the United States as it is the
most difficult to ascend. A party of nine
men, including Mr.. John Muir, the well
known student of the Cordilleran glaciers,
gained the summit and were fortunate
in obtaining q large number of photo
graphs of the mountain and of various
aspectsof vegetation encountered during
the journey. One of the party writes;
This particular meadow on which we
encamped lies between glaciers of the
Nisqually and Cowlitz rivers, on the
south side Of the mountain. 1t covers
probably four square miles and ranges
in altitude from 5000 to 1000 feet. The
meadow on the east side of the noun
tain, between the Cowlitz and Natchess
glaciers, is about the same size and diff
fers but little in vegetation. The other
meadows on the main mountain are much
smaller and, with n exception, difficult
of access. The meadows on the submits
of the surrounding lower mountains are
quite extensive, however. The timber
on the meadows is confined mainly tC
the crests of the ridges running up the
mountain. Garden and Forest.

Patching Snails.

The vineyard snail is held in great es-
TEEN in southern Europe. 1t is by no
@ uncommon in England. At ono
time it was believed To have been i'm
ported by the Romans; while another
theory held that it was introduced about
the Fifteenth OF Sixteenth century. 1t
is undeniably common in the vicinity of
old Roman camps. But it Is frequent
also on chalk and other dry soils, and
the opinion now generally entertained is
that the Helix pomatia is n native Brit
ish species. The rulers OF the world
were nevertheless its especial patrons.
Not content with eating it stewed in
every form, they fattened it in cochlearia,
or styes, meal boiled in wine being re-
garded as the food best fitted for pro-
ducing large and juicy specimens. How
successful they were may be inferred
from the fact-if fact it be-that some
of the shells of these domesticated snails
would hold a pint Of wine.-Once a
Week.
