Editors, Watches.

The enterprising editor of The New York Jewellers Weekly wrote to about fifty prom inent editors scattered throughout the coun- try, asking questions regarding the watches they wore. It is singular fact that of these fifty, all but about dozen replied that their watches were presents, and only one, a poor unfortunate Omaha editor, was without a watch. He offered, however, to trade some advertising space for timepiece, and we doubt not that he will soon be the happy possesser of a Waterbury. It is also notice- able that the editors who had bought their own watches were divided into two classes those who paid very little for them, and those who paid great deal. Hardly man had bought moderate price watch. One Cedar Rapids editor admits that he traded $10 buggy for his watch, and an Albany editor carries an $8 timepiece; while such shining lights as Henry Watterson and Murat Hal stead are burdened with watches costing from $500 to $500 apiece.-Frank Leslie's Newspaper

BABY's BEDTIME SONG.

Sway to and fro in the twilight gray, This is the ferry for Shadowtown; It always sails at the end of day, Just as the darkness is closing down. Rest, little head, on my shoulder, so, A sleepy kiss is the only fare; Drifting away from the word we go, Baby and I in rocking chair. See where the fire logs glow and spark, Glitter the lights of Shadowland The pelting rains on the window, harkl Are ripples tapping upon it's strand There where the mirror is glancing dim, A lake with it's shimE1ering cool and still; Blossoms are waving above it's brim, Those over there on the window sill. Rock slow, more slow, in the dusky light, Silently lower the anchor down; Dear little passenger, say good night, F We've reached the harbor of Shadowtow3.

 FACTS WORTH KNowING.-In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. The medical profes- sion has been slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders or syringes because they are all irritating, do not thoroughly reach the af- fected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures A multitude of persons who had for years borne al the worry and pain that catarrh can infiict testify to radical cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

Ayers Pills

prove eHect1Ve.
 "In the summer of 1864 was sent to the Annapolis hospital, suffering with chronic diarrhea. While there, I became so re- duced in strength that could not speak and was compelled to write everything wanted to say. I was then having some 25 or 30 stools per day. The doctors ordered a medi- cine that I was satisfied would be of no benefit to me. I did not take it, but per suaded my nurse to get me some of Dr. Ayers Pills. About two o'clock in the after noon I took six of these pills, and by mid night began to feel better. In the morning the doctors came again, and after deciding that my symptoms were more favorable, gave me different medicine, which did not use, but took four more of the pills instead. The next day the doctors came to see me, and thought was doing nicely, (and so did D. I then took one pill day for week. At the end of that time, considered myself cured and that Ayers Pills had saved my life. I was then weak, but had no return of the disease, and gained in strength as fast as could be expected."-F. C.

The Dainty Girls sLove Bags"

The dainty girl is full of fancies for decor ating her room. One of the latest ideas is the string of "love bags" made of bits of silk which have done service as gentlemen's cra- vats, or scarfs, or wedding gowns, or party dresses. The silk is made up into bags about two or three inches in width, the upper part row ribbon to match in color. These bags are stuffed with cotton and sachet powder, half dozen of these triHes being strung to- gether and hung at the side of mirror, or from the back of a chair or the head of the bed, permitting the dreamer to imagine her. self in flower garden.

The most generally useful medicine is Ayers Pills. AS a remedy for the various diseases of the stomach, liver, and bowels, these Pills have no equal. Their sugar-coating causes them not only to be easy and pleasant to take, but preserves their medi- cinal integrity in all climates and for any reasonable length of time. The best family medicine, Ayers Pills are, also, unsurpassed for the use of travellers, soldiers, sailors, campers, and pioneers.

ChristoI Challenges a Bear.

From the Portland OregOniap.
Prof. Lucian Mare Chrstol, the
noted wrestler, called at the Oregon
ian office last evening TO declare his
readiness to meet any lightweight
wrestler in the world. He says that
he is anxious to meet the Jap, but as
the latter refuses to make a match,
and there is no one in Portland will
ing to tackle him, he will have to
wrestle bear. There is a bear on
North Second street, owned by Ed
BalIian, proprietor of the Antwerp
saloon. The bear is a monster speci-
men of the bruin family, weighing
about 500 pounds. ChristOl says he
will wrestle the bear for $500, and he
means business. Christol wrestled
with bear in a Cincinnati theatre in
1878, and came near being killed. He
was getting the best of bruin to such
an extent that the latter flew into a
rage, tore off it's muzzle, bit piece of
each of Christol's ears, another out OF
his cheek and hip, and no doubt
would have killed him, had not a
stage hand come to the rescue with a
large knife and stabbed the ferocious
beast to the heart.

Mr.. Francis and His Island.

From Colonies and India.
J.J. Francis, @. c., of Hong Kong,
can be, like Defoe's immortal creation,
monarch OF all he surveys when he
lands upon the island OF Balamban-
gan, off the coast of north Borneo.
The island was conceded to Mr..
Francis during holiday visit which
that gentleman paid to Borneo last
year, and is described as being
close upon fifty miles i'll cir
conference, and lying about
ten or eleven miles off the extreme
northern point Of Borneo. 1t is $50
miles from the port of Sandakan, and
has no Inhabitants, nor any trace of
any. The northern half the island is
sandy plain, we'll suited for pastur-
ing cattle or for cocoanut planting.
The other side consists of a dense
jungle of large trees, something after
the style of the dark forest which so
impeded Mr.. Stanley in his last
journey across Africa. The shore,
as is common in the tropics, is
fringed with mapgroves. There is
an abundance of fine limestone on
the hills, the highest of which reach.
es over 400 feet, and in the valley is
soil evidently very suitable for coffee
planting. There are two good har-
bors. Wild cattle are apparently
abundant, and there are three species
of deer, and plenty of wild pigs, but
no crOcodiles. So far Mr.. Francis has
formed no definite idea as to what he
shall do with Baiambangan, but he
inteds to send competent man down
to examine and report upon the place
