INDIGESTION

is not only distressing complaint, Of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, Is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
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
four years [ suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that l 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 could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength I'M
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."

The GLOBE no doubt referred to Frank

titled to all the good things said
in the item. But he cannot be
elected an alderman from the Second.
That ward is Republican in its politics,

WHEN wenEN SHOULD HARRY.

Probably the best time for the average
woman to marry would be any age be-
tween 81 and 80. It is not said that no
woman should marry earlier or later than
either of these ages; but youth and health
and viger are ordinarily at their highest
perfection between these two periods. Ear
ly marriages are seldom desirable for girls,
and that for many reasons. The brain is
immature, the reason IS feeble, and the
character is uniformed. The consideration
which would prompt a girl to marry at II
would, in many cases, have little weight
with her at "a At II she is a child, at "a
a woman.
Where a girl has intelligent parents, the
four are the period when mind and body
are most amenable TO wise discipline, and
best repay the thought and toll devoted to
their development. Before seventeen few
girls have learned to understand what life
is, what discipline is, what duty is. They
cannot value what is best either in the IA
theirs wisdom or in the mothers's tender
ness. When married at that childish per-
iod they are like young recruits taken
fresh from the farm and the workshop and
hurried of TO a long campaign without any
period of preliminary drill and training, or
like a schoolboy removed from school to a
curacy without being sent to the university
or to a theological hall.
Who can help grieving over a childwife,
especially if she nave children and a hus-
band who is an experienced and possibly
exacting boy-man2 The ardor Of his love
soon cools; the visionary bliss Of her poeti-
cal Imagination yanishes like the ummer
mist; there is left but disappointment and
wonaer that what promised to be 50 beau
tiful and long a day should be clouded al
most before sunrise.

HE SAW THE POINT-DO YOT:

A boy returned from school one day
with a report that his scholarship had fall
len below the usual average.
"Well," sad his father, you've fallen
behind this month, have youa:"
"Yes, sir"
"How did that happen?"
Don't know, SIR"
The father knew, if the son did not. He
had observed a number of cheap novels
scattered about the house, but had not
thought it worth while to say anything un-
til a fitting opportunity should offer itself.
A basket of apples stood upon the floor and
he said:
empty out those apples, and take the
basket ana bring it to me half full of
chips
Suspecting nothing the son obeyed.
"And now,a he continued, s'put those
apples back in the basket
When half the apples were replaced
the son said:
"Father they roll off. l can't put in any
more
Put them in, l tell you"
"But, father, | can't put them in.'
"Put them in! No, of course you can't
put them in. Do you expect to fill a bas-
ket half full of chips and then fill it with
apples? You said you did not know why
you fell behind at school; and | will tell
you. Your mind is like that basket. 1t
will not hold more than so much. And
here you have been the past month filling
it up with CHIP DIRT-eheap novels"
The boy turned on his heel, whistled and
said, "Whew, I see the point"

ARE BLHsKERs HURTFUL.

When a horse is used for the saddle no
one thinks Of meddling with his eyes, and
we allow the animal to use them freely,
as nature has directed. But nc sooner do
we put the same animal into harness than
we think ourselves bound to fasten a black
leather flap over each Of his eyes, so as to
prevent him from seeing objects at his
sides, and to limit his view to those which
are in his immediate front. This is done
with the very best intentions, the object
being to save him from being frightened
by startling and unwonted sights, and
only to leave a sufficiency of vision where.
with to guide bis steps. Herein, as in
feeding and stabling the horse, man judges
the animal by himself, forgetting, or rath-
er having failed to notice, that the eyes Of
the horse are exceedingly unlike our own.
Our eyes are set in the front of our heads,
SO that if blinkers were fastened to our
temples III range of vision would be but
slightly limited. But the eyes of a horse
are placed ON the sides Of the head and are
rather prominent, SO that the animal can
not only see on either side, but by rolling
his eyes backwards, as we see in a vicious
horse, can see objects almost in his inn
mediate rear.
The effect of the blinker is both phys
ically and mentally injurious to the horse.
In the first place, especially when large
and brought near the eyes, it has the eff
feet of heating them and hindering the
free passage of air over them. In the next
place, it causes the eyes to be always
directed forward, and thu produces a
most injurious strain on the delicate
muscles. We know how painful a sensa-
ton is felt when we are obliged to strain
our eyes either backward or upward for
any length of time, and the horse suffers
no less Inconvenience when it is forced to
keep its eyes continually strained forward.
The worst examples of the blinker that
| have ever seen were in the United States,
when the bl;nkers Cor ''blinders,' . as they
are there named) are often brought SO
closely together in front By means Of a
strap and buckle that a mere narrow strip,
HoAcAy AdtA OIL IEId Ia Nt4th. ID Aclb lDI Ftb~
ion. This again is lone with the best IN
t~entions, the object being to save the an
imal from being afflicted with snow-blind-
ness. Now the horses eyes are in many
respects different from our own, and are
not affected, as is the case with ours, by
the vast expanse of dazzling snow which
is rendered even more dazzling by the
clear atmosphere and brilliant sunshine of
America. One of its safeguards lies in the
remarkable structure which is popularity
termed the s'haw, and scientifically the
s.nictitatipg membrane This is q sort
Of third eyelid set beneath the true eyelids,
and capable of being drawn at will over
the eyeball, thus performing the double
duty OF shielding the eye from the direct
glare of light and clearing its surface
from dust or any other foreign substance.
This membrane is seen in perfection in
the birds Of prey, SO that the proverbial
statement that the eagle trains itself to
gaze at the midday sun has some founda-
ton in fact.

A mother writing to the Detroit Ners
says: ga clothes basket makes one of the
incest possible cribs for a baby. All my
children were raised in a clothes basket
and a hammock, with never a cradle or
crib. 1t was a large sized one (the basket
| mean), with handles at the ends. For
the first baby it was covered with blue
silesia and dotted swiss. But when the
other babies came an old cretonne for the
inside anu out did very we'll. The sides
were padded with a piece of old bed quilt,
and a little mattress made for the bottom.
When baby fell asleep the basket was
easily carried into a quiet room, which
could be made dark"
The idea is not bad one. Such a basket
would do very nicely for the babies who
are just learning 10 SIT alone. The padding
would save the little heads from many a
hard bump, and also keep the little ones
from feeling the drafts which rush along
the floor.

Yet our paths will meet no doubt at the end
Though they lead apart to-day.

You like an even pace;
1 like to mix with the throng and run,
And then rest after the race.

You like a peaceful time;

You like its gentle rhyme.
You like buttercups, dewy sweet,
And crocuses, framed in snow:

HEALTH

The lives of most men are in their "
hands, and as a rule the just verdict after
death would be-feEodese.
Light gives a bronzed or tan color to the
skin; but where it uproots the lily it plants
the rose.
Mould and decaying vegetables il a eel

A change of air is less valuable than a
change of scene. The air is changed every
time the direction of the wind is changed.
Girls need health as much-nay more
than boys. They can only obtain it as
boys do, by running, tumbling-by all
sorts of innocent vagrancy. AT least once
day girls should have their halters taken
off. the bars let down and be turned loose
like young colts.
Galisthenics may be very genteel, and
romping very %ungenteel, but one is the
shadow, the other the substance, of health
