Indigestion

is not only a distressing complaint Of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depravcd 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 a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton. and hardly
had strength 10 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 I took seemed TO do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use OF Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing 70 take the Sarsapa-
rilla I could see an improvement in my
condition. Ny appetite began 90 return
and with It came the ability TO digest
all the food taken, my strength im-
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself well

duties. The medicine has given me a

\ Nest or Alligator Eggs.

1 was walking through some thick palmettoes bordering cyprus swamp. and came across n curious, coalcal pile of earth and sticks; 1t was about feet in height and the same in diam- eter at Its base. l dug into t at once. believing It to be an alligator's nest. and unoarthod twenty eggs. They were pure white. and about tho size of goose eggs, but somewhat different in shape, both ends being rounded alike, Wishing to sec If they would hatch out l carried them home and placed them in a pile of earth and sticks re- sembling tho genuine nest Around it l built Il pen of boards, so the young could not get away should the eggs hatch. Inside the pen a trough con- taining water was placed, sunk level with the ground.
 One morning, about threo weeks after 1 visited tho nest and was piaas- ed to hear number Of small voices; there on the top of the nest and in the trough of water. were several little gators, not over , inches in length. Nearly all the eggs were finally hatched out
 l kept the little follows abou. a year and became quite attached to them. l could take them in my hands and caress them without any resist ance on their part; in fact they seemed to like it. When 1 went out to see them after being absent soma time, they would come crawling up to the side of the pan at my call. nevor knew them to eat a particle of any thing during the time that kept them. finally put them in u swamp to shift for themselves.

In village not far from Boston there were ihree old cronies who had outlived their credit but not their ap- petites. They were going on fish ing excursion one day. and they took a gallon jug along for rum. When they came to pool their assets they could not raise enough for even pint Of the louged-for fire water. This was a dilemma They scratched their heads in dismay until one of them scratched out an idea Snatching up the jug. he ran to the pump and filed 1t about half full of water. aud then marched into tho store and callod for half gallon of Medford rum. The boy filled the measure and the man held tho jug. When the two quarts wero In the boy asked for his money, and was told to charge it. This was refused, and few high words eusued. when the angry purchaser said. Every we'll. take the rum out, theu. but be dashed careful that you do not take moro than you put in" Tho boy measured out the two quarts, and the man. with half gallon of half-and- half, marched ,riumphantly back to his trembling companions.

Burial Mounds

Mir. Reynolds has recently complet- in Georgia. located on bend of the Savannah about thrco miles from Sil- yer Bluff. It's contents stamp 1t as one of the most remarkable yet opened. They consist of human crania. pottery, copper implements and ornaments. galenite pipes, stone implements. pearl aud shell beads and textile fabrics.
 The crania were in fragments and in an advanced stage of decay.
 The pottery consisted of twenty three pots ranging in size from small narrow-necls jars to largo urns of q capacity of some sixteen gallons.
 Some Of these were elaborately decorated with stamped patterns.
 There were four celts of hammered copper The value and importance of these were indicated by the fact that they had been wrapped in cloth and incased in bark. There were also thin plates Of copper with figures in relief similar in type to tho Etowah mound species They were much broken and SO brittle that they could scarcely be handled.
 Sufficient traces only of tho textile fabrics were preserved by contact with the copper to determine their gem eral character.
 Eleven pipes. carved to represent human and animal figures, were taken from tho mound
 Many stone implements of the usual type, such as spear-heads. celts, chis els. etc. were found.

Rome ndn England.

It is probable that the English nation is somewhat better dispersed abroad than the Romans prior to the time of Caesar, though this may be doubted. The basis of British control in the world, which largely lies in the intel hgenee Of tho British factors and mer- chants dispersed everywhere, Is thought by some not to be wider than the Romn basis of trade aud mer- ehandise underlying that empire which grew up after the extinction of Car thage. Spain and Holland were the Carthages ot England. and her com- mercial power supplemented their de- cay; tho decay of France was next brought aheut by taking away her col onies, such as Canada, India and Louisiana. It remains to be seen whether Europe has organic spirit enough. or the world sufficient organic spirlt to offset the apparently delib- crate intention Of the British nation to monopolixe colonization in Polynesia, Asia and Africa.

CATCHING A DEER.
A Boy Who Tackled a Pretty Big
 Inh-

It was my ambition when a boy to catch some does in winter when the snow was deep, and without injury to put them in q park and raise some lawns. One day. with my brother and three-months-old pup. went to the hills to catch doe. From the top of the hills, where was deer yard, we soon started deer. but could not overtake it until 1t reached the river. The stream had been high from recent thaw, and in that condition had frozen over with three inches of ice. It had suddenly fallen, leaving the middle free from ice. with strip several yards wide adhering to tho banks but foot or moro above tho water. The deer was discovered lying on the bank and under the ice nicely hidden. I prepared to cross the river and break down the ice above the deer by jumping upon 1t. and, as the ice fell, to catch the deer about the neck and hold her until my brother could fasten birch withe about her neck.
 Thus l did, but my doe was full grown buck. his horns had dropped of some time before. As l caught hlm about the neck he took me out into tho middle of the stream. It was as full of rocks and boulders as could be, with plenty of water rushing between. Dur ing our short journey together the deer and l were in all possible positions, and what with the cold water, tho bumps on the rocks and kicking re- ceived, l was never more bruised nor more angry in my life. But held the buck; and my brother put on the withe. We then got tho deer to Q smooth place on the bank, and holding on to the withe let him go. The deer gave jump high into the air. fell on his back, putting his hind feet into the loop about his neck did his best to break the loop. Not succeeding he got up. and we led him quietly toward home. Several times on the way he cropped buds from tho bushes; but after few days. in spite of the great est care, he died, and as we said. from homesick ness. But if he bruised himself as badly as he did me, his death might we'll be attributed to an- other cause. Forest and Stream

Scent Rn,tle in The Erncainf

The combination of the useful with the beautiful goes on. Every body now Is familiar with the woman's gloves which have pockets in the palm. canes which have concealed match boxes in their handles and watches in tho upper end, and key chains which contain q variety Of useful implements, says the New York Sun. About tho latest thing nowadays is q scent bottle in the bracelet. It is in the form of prot st against the extraordinary size to which the bottle in which women carried their smelling salts grew. Theso little toilet implements, which were origin ally a shade larger than half u lead pencil, grew to the size of police mans club before the fashion ran its full limit. nd then there was direct drop to smelling salt bottles Of the most intinitesimal size Tho hand of tho bracelet is made hollow and filled with salts and cologne, and tho diamond ornament Is in the shape Of little cap that falls upon n spring, so that the wearer may revive herself without carrying huge amount Of glass.

His explanation was that. although ice absorhs rays of certain waves Of light and is gradually melted thereby. other waves do not ab- sorb, and these latter produce the heat ing effect at the focus of the lens. It is wholly Il question of the relative mo- tions of the molecules of frozen water and the motions of the waves of light

this proposition is persistently re
peated by both British and Ameri-
can attorneys for free trade.
There is, however, a point at
which the American contingent
omits a portion of the argument
found potent on the other side. Mr..
Gladstone and other foreign advo-
Gates of reform in our tariff policy
are candid enough to admit that the
result of following their advice
would be to make the United States
a producer of cheap breadstuffs and
other farm products and permit En-
gland to become the WORKSHOP Of the
world. Free trade advocates this
side the Atlantic deem it prrdent to
withhold this evidently correct fore
cast until such time as voters lave
been prevailed on to tear down the
defences Of domestic manufactures,
and their rehabilitation las been
rendered exceedingly remote, il not
altogether Impossible.

The Chicago Herald (Dem) Of
Sunday follows up it's article Of the
previous day exposing and denounc-
ing the shameless demagogy of the
Democratic party managers in this
State 1t says:
'EThe educational issue was raised
in Wisconsin by a few Milwaukee
demagogues who hoped to win Off
ces upon it. They cared 1aothjng for
principle, nothing for Democracy,
nothing for country, nothing for
stme They knew that q foreign
element had been stirred up against
the Bennett law by its race and
church leaders and that there was a
chance to gain votes and it was
nothing at all to them that the pol
icy that they were to adopt was
wrong and mischievous. They stu
pidly imagined that the patriotic
and intelligent Democracy of the
state would indorse any position
that they might take, no matter
how vicious, and that the votes to
be gained from misguided foreigners
would be sufficient to give them the
election. On this theory and with
no thought for the inevitable result
of such a sacrifice of principle, the
Milwaukee simpletons succeeded in
committing their party in city and
state on the side of an offensive for
eignism and against American in
dependence and nationality.
'The Bennett law has been mis-
represented by every Democrat in
Wisconsin who has been seized with
the itch for Office It is not an op-
pressive law. 1t was adopted by
