About Malaria-What Old Cases OF Ague
Should Know.
You have had fever and ague; or, per-
haps, have had dumb ague, In which there
are no distinct chills. At any rate, you
have malaria In your system, which makes
you miserable during the later summer
months and fall. You have dOctored much.
Quinine you have taken till your ears ring,
arsenic till your nerves culver, and strych'
mia till your jaws are stiff. Still the NAL
aria hangs about. You don't feel good q
little bit. Miserable! that's the only word
that describes 1t. Chilly feelings, hot
flashes, cold feet and legs, coated tongue,
bad taste, offensive breath, poor digestion
and appetite-all these and more. TONES
fail, nervines are useless, and liver medi-
cines waste of time and money.
But Pe-ru-na will cure you-cure you
completely you feel as good as new.
And you will stay cured, too. Pe-ru-na
contains no quinine to injure the brain, no
arsenic to destroy the stomach, no strychnia
to impair the nerves. 1t Is a natural, whole
some, never-failing nerve tonic, blood puri-
fer and invigorator of the whole system.

City Schools.

The city schools will begin on Tuesday
Sept. 5. 1t is important that all pupils
in every department, be in attendance al
the beginning of the term.
At that time, all classes are beginning
the work. Pupils can and do enter later
but in nearly every case, it is to their
disadvantage.
Many parties outside the city are max.
ing inquiries about our schools for the
coming year. The prospects are for one
of the best years in the history of the
schools. We have excellent courses OF
study and carefully selected corps of
experienced teachers.
There are no graded schools that offer
more superior advantages than are found
here.
The first eight grades are now taught
in three buildings, at the Central, Emer-
son and Washington. Tie first six
grades are taught at the Bryant. The
division lines between schools will be as
last year. The attendance may cause
changes later at present, Washington st.
separates the Central from the Emerson
Comstock St., the Emerson from the
Washington; Shiawassee St., the Wash
ington from the Bryant and Clinton St.,
the Bryant from the Central. Pupils in
Fourth ward, living south of Clinton St.,
belonging in grades seven and eight,
will go to the Washington School.
Parents will please take notice of the
location of their school and send accord
ingly. The principal of that building
will attend to the classification of all new
pupils and those not regularly promoted.
1t will not be necessary to call at the
Superintendent's office for assignment to
building.
There will be meeting of all the city
teachers at the Superintendent office on

ANECDOTE OF JOHN JACOB ASTOR.

recalled to my mind from having met
few evenings since, a son of Mr.. X.

Astor?" inquired Mr.. x.

unless they can furnish good city re-
ference" was the reply.
'Then," said MIR. X, cheerfully,
'the skins which have selected must
suffice for this time"
He paid for them, and asked that
they might remain as they were until
he called for them.
On the afternoon of the same day,
Just before the sailing of the New
Bedford packet, the young merchant
called for his lot of furs. Throwing
the heavy pack upon his back he left
the store, but he had not proceeded
more than a dozen steps when Mr..
Astor called him back.
Sir" said Astor, as the young man
re-entered, ''you can have credit for
any amount of goods you require, if
they are to be found in my store"
''But, my dear sir" returned Mr.. X,
surprised and puzzled, Il can give
you no city references. lam stranger
in New York"
Il ask no other recommendation"
said the rich merchrnt, "than that al
reany furnished by yourself. The
man who is equal to the needs of his
business, and does not set himself in
pride above it, need never hesitate to
apply to John Jacob Astor for credit"
Thus commenced a trade between
two merchants which was continued
to the mutual advantage of both for
long term of years; and in time Mr. K
became one of the most eminent and
liberal capitalists of New Bedford.

into the kitchen where he found a
boy, Of fifteen years, or thereabouts,
engaged In turning a spit The lad
was well and stoutly built, with fair
hair, large blue eyes, handsome face,
and, withal, a polite and easy bearing.
The king being in merry mood, and
feeling interested in the youth, ad-
dressed him pleasantly, asking him
whence he came, what was his name
and how much he gained by his occu,
patton.
The young scullion, having not the
least suspicion of the rank of the man
who addressed him, quickly replied
Il am from Berry: [ am called
Stephen the Scullion; and I earn as
much as does the king"
''As much as the king?" cried Louis
IN surprise.
''Aye, marry, that do L."
and what doth the king earn?"
His expenses,-nothing more; ant

This ready answer so pleased th,
king that he took theiad into favor
