Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or

arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The moisture
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-

and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills

How a Humble Costermonger Became a
Chinese Marquis.

How Humble Costermonger Became a
Chinese Marquis.
China, in its slow, shy way, says the
India Times, is enjoying just now little
romance. Years ago, when the last Ming
Emperor ended his earthly troubles in a
coal mound in Pekin, his heir was made a
Marquis, and the Manehu dynasty sue
ceeded to the rule of the Land of the Sun.
During the reign of the last Emperor but
one, the then holder of the Marouisate
died without sons and with no direct heir
to succeed to the titles and estates. Refer
ence to the family records showed that the
rightful heir was an obscure parsonage,
who had been completely lost sight of, and
search was made for him everywhere by
the officials Of the banner under which the
Marquis was enrolled. High and low, in
byway and highway, the gallant knights
of the banner sought for the missing heir,
and no trace could anywhere be found of
him. Nevertheless he was close at hand
all the time.
Day by day for goodly number of years
there had stood outside one of the gates of
Pekin a man with barrow crying pump
kins for sale-a sort of Celestial coster-
monger, very rough, very rusty, and totally
uneducated. Beneath his ragged robe, al
though he did not know it, there beat the
heart of Marquis, and those who had
sought the lest heir had passed him hun
dred times without knowing how close
they were to the object of their search.
Accident revealed him at last, and the
costermonger, bewildered and alarmed, was
conveyed, barrow and all, to the Office of
the banner under the shadow of the pal
ace wall. With much difficulty the idea
was hammered into him that he was no
longer pumpkin seller-that he was q
Marquis and the descendant of Kings.
When at length he understood, he per.
mitted the banner to wash and shave him
and fix up his hair in improved marquis
ate style, and clothe him in costly gar.
ments-which he looked at. it is recorded
with a wavering and doubtful eye.
Then he began painful period of pol
ishing, for before he could be presented Il
the Emperor the ex- coster had to be taught
such elements of etiquette as his origina
profession had not proved favorable to, ant
! had to learn also the few Manchu phrase

indicates that the plants are particularly
supplied with nitrogen, lime, potash and
! phosphoric acid.
Unless collie dog is well trained he
should not be used for driving cattle oil
sheep. A dog that does not thoroughly
understand his duty will keep the ami.
mails in perpetual fear. Cows giving milk
are quickly affected by excitement of any
kind.
Wood ashes are excellent on all kinds
of vegetables. The stalks and leaves Of
potatoes abound largely in potash, as dc
also the leaves of beets. Though ashes
contain no nitrogen, they supply not only
potash, but lime and proportion of phos-
phoric acid.
While aiming to produce good butter,
do not forget that one of the most i'm
portant essentials is the purity of the
salt. Butter may be injured by salt, and
as no mineral is more difficult to rid OF
impurities than salt, extra care should be
exercised in securing the best to be OBJ
tanned.
1t is shown by experiment that animals
affected by tuberculosis are in condition
to communicate disease to other stock, and
that when slaughtered and used as beef
endanger the health of those who consume
the meat, one scientist claiming that con-
sumption may be communicated in such
manner.
A correspondent of the Pittsburg Stock
man gives an important remedy for hog
cholera, if he is not mistaken in the dis
ease. Finding several hogs dead, and
others dying, he administered kerosene
and milk, the result being complete re-
coyery of the sick animals, with no further
spread of the disease. The cures were inn
mediate.
An excellent mode of growing early to-
matoes, egg plants, etc., is to scoop out a
potato or turnip and fill the hollow with
rich earth. Have only one plant to each
potato. When the plant is of the de-
sired size plant the potato (earth and
young plant, and no check will be
given the growth, as the decay of the
potato will assist in providing food for the
plant. Where turnips can be had they
should be preferred to potatoes. Egg
shells have also been used for the same
purpose with success.

necessary for presentation at court. When
this was all done his succession was allowed
and he went to his palace and took posses

and kind-hearted man, who has done his
best to educate himself and fulfill the du.
ties of his high position. He is about 81
years of age and still retains his rustic APP
pearance. The birth of sons has secured
the succession, so that the family is now in
as strong position as ever. 1t is his duty
to offer sacrifice each autumn at the Ming
tombs. His palace is near one OF the gates
OF the Imperial City, and he is popularity
known as the Pumpkin Marquis. And in

About Driving.

Never aim at display when driving. 1t
will always tell against you. Try no close
shaving. Give especially plenty of room
to lady drivers, to old men, or to young,
timid horses. Stop rather than drive any
one into mess. Get out of the way of
pedestrians, if you can. rather than drive
them into the dirt Leave the most level
part of the road to high, top-heavy loads,
whether they are entitled to it or not. Do
as you would be done bs with everybody
and everything, and don't foolishly get out
of temper because other persons may not
treat you the same, or do not even know
their business. You may gain much by
such conduct, and will never gain any
thing by the reverse.-N Y. Sporting

A Necessity of Health.

1t is prime necessity of health that the
action of the bowels should be kept regu-
lar. But the way to overcome tempo.
rary fit of constipation. or to remedy
chronic costiveness. is not to deluge the
stomach and drench the bowels with purg-
atives of violent and painful action. The
happy medium between an imperative and
violent cathartic is Hostetter's Somach
Bitters, which acts just sufficiently upon
the bowels TO relax them, without pain,
and which being a wholesome tonic, as
well as apeIient, has the effect of strength
ening both them and the stomach, and
promoting the well being of the whole in
ternal economy. The removal of bile from
the blood, increased activity of the liver,
usually dormant in cases of costiveness,
and sound digestion follows the use of this
beneicent medicine, as thorough and
genial in its effects as it is safe and pure in
composition. Rheumatism, fever and
ague, kidney troubles and debility are also
remedied By it.

GRAMMAR IN RHYME.

Three little things you often see
Are articles a, an and the.
A nouns the name of anything;
As school or garden, hoop or swing.
Adjeetives tell the kind of noun;
AS great, small, pretty, white or brown.
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand;
Her head, his face, your arm, his hand.
Verbs tell of something being done.
To read to count, sing, laugh, jump or rur
How things are done the adverbs tell;
As slowly, quickly, i'll or well.
Conjunctions join the words together:
As men and women, wind or weather
The proposition stands before
A noun, as in or through the door.
The interjection shows surprise
As OH how pretty all, how wisel

Which reading, writing, speaking teach.

Bad Wreck at South NorwaIk. Conn,
Due to the Negligence of n Draw-Tender.

SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn, Sept. T.
The express train due here from Boston
at 500 p m. yesterday ran into Dan
bury & Norwalk railroad commuters
train at the junction in this city. About
thirty passengers were injured and both
trains were badly smashed The ex-
press was over an hour late and the ac-
cident was due to the fact that the Dan
bury & Norwalk train was being made
up on the main track without proper
regard for safety. The engineer of the
express train was unable, on account of
a curve, to see the train until too late
to prevent the collision. The express
dashed into the second coach from the
rear Of the Danbury train, throwing it
from its trucks. The passengers on
both trains were badly shaken up, but
only those in the wrecked car were in
jured, none, however, seriously.
Every physician in the city was sum-
moned to care for the injured, and the
patients are all doing nicely.
The officials of both roads arrived
here an hour after the accident, and
are trying to place the blame. From
all that can be learned it seems to fall
upon the head Of the tender, who
although on duty with red lantern,
failed to give the signal Of danger.
The west-bound train on the Consoli
dated and the single track on the Housa.
tonic were effectually blocked.
