Special From Evart, Mich.

G. ". Bruce, Druggist Era1t, Mich:
| want to say TO you that Hibbard's
Rheumatic Syrup is, in my opinion,
the greatest medicine ever put up.
You are fully aware how lame and sore
| was at the time you advised me to
try the remedy, my back and ankles
were so sore and lame and the pain so
severe, that | could scarcely move
about. Three bottles of this remedy
cured me when everything else that l
tried failed. 1t is valuable medi-
cine. FRANK V. HANDY.
The above statement is true and 1T
affords me much pleasure to recon-
mend this medicine. G.. n, BRUCE.

Take IL and be Well.

Gathered from field and forest are
the component parts of Swift's Spe-
citic. There is nothing in it which
comes from the chemists shop, hence
it is the great remedy to help nature
to ward off disease. In the spring
months is the best time to brace up
the health. Take S. S. S. when you
feel dull and heavy-take it when
your blood is too thick and slow, and
your feelings will tell you when.
Every man, woman and child would
be the better for having taken few
bottles Of S. S. S. in the spring.

TIE MoRTGFGE FORECLOsED. a
story of the farm. BY E. III. Thay-
er. Chicago: Belford A. Clarke Co.,
1890.
Although an exceedingly well writ
ten story, and intensely interesting in
itself. it may as well be understood at
the outstart that 1t is political novel,
all its main incidents founded on re-
corded proof, intended to teach the
hardships the merciless spoilation to
which the farming and laboring
classes are subjected by the prevailing
tariff taxation system Of the country.
With that understanding, the advo-
cate of that system who is afraid to
read thorough exposition OF the hid
eous wrong it involves, will shun it
like poison, while the tariff reformer
and free trader will not only read il
with delight, but carry it in their
pockets as an ever ready and conven-
lent textbook.

 LONDON, Sept. 13.-The news of revolution in Switzerland Is the most interesting topic of the hour. Details of the uprising are difficult to procure the Federal authorities having main tained a telegraph censorship which would do credit to tho more deSpotic neighbors of the little democracy.
 From the pains taken to check com- munication between the disaffeOsed canton and the outside world, and from the absence of any encouraging official announcement by the Federal Council, it is feared that the revolt may be more widespread in its effects than the brief dispatches permitted to pass the cen sorship would indicate.
 Ticino, tue canton now in rebellion, has, however, a more turbulent record than her sister oantonS, and the news of the present trouble Is therefore less alarming than if the offending canton was one of those which had always maintained Q peaceable and loyal de- meanor.
 BELI1NzoNA, Sept. 13.-The revolt here has collapsed. The troops have been we'll received by the revolution ists. It has been agreed that the ques tion of the revision of the Constitu- tion be submitted to 6 popular vote.

When Does the Language of Babies Be
 come Inteiligible9
 The Listener, of the Boston Tran scrpt, mentions the case of fond mother of his acquaintance who had a remarkable baby, who, the mother in- sists, says "Mamma's little girl" so dis tinctly that anybody in the world could make it out And this is the way, ex- actly, that the baby pronounces it:
 Hubble, hubble, lubble."
 This is not nearly such plain English as that used by friend of the Listen CTS, now o man and an honest and able one, who, when he was two years old. mystified the members of his family by calling out in the imperative mood:
 "Bixit, baxit, cloXitw
 All gathered round and tried hard to make out what the youngster meant. But the most definite statement that they could get out of him was: "Bixi t, baxit, cloxtt" At last, by dint of a good deal of pantomime, the child got them into the pantry and indicated g particular place in it, and then his re- mark translated itself to them. Wh; he meant to say was ''I want biscuit in the basket in the closet"

It Was SO Aimed as to Hit Deer or Miss a Calf
 The following story is told of couple of sportsmen by the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Their names were Hoffman and Cowan, and both were excellent shots, and not a little given to boasting of their skill. One day they went on Q deer hunting expedition, and, after get ting into the woods where they expected to find deer, they separated. Shortly after Hoffman heard Cowan's gun fired of; he immediately went over to the spot where he heard the shot, expect ing to be obliged to help Cowan to hang up a deer. He found Cowan very busy loading his gun, and shouted out:
 "Hallo, Cowan! What did you shoot at just now?"
 "None O your businessl Go along over the hillr'
 Surprised at this short and crusty an- swer, Hoffman looked around and dis covered Q calf among the bushes. Again he cried out:
 "I say. Cowan, did you shoot at that calf?"
 'Yes. I did; but it's none O your busi nessr'
 "Why, what made you shoot at it9"
 ''I took 1t for deer"
 "Wel, did you hit it?" "No; missed itv' "How did you miss itP"
 ''I wasn't quite sure that it wasn't a calf"
