A great deal is said OF the mystery
OF advertising, of its subtlety and its
uncertainties. 1t is as simple and
certain as daylight, once you think
of it in the right way. 1t is just as
simple as hanging up your sign or
saying "Here are some fine peaches.
Mrs. Jones--twenty cents can. "
When your ad goes in the paper you
are simply hanging up thousands of
signs and speaking to hundreds of
Mrs. Joneses. If you can make them
believe that your peaches are cheap
at twenty cents you have onlya little
less chance OF selling 10 them a to
the particular Mrs. Jones in the
store. You can generally make
them believe what you say if you are
honest. have a theory that 1t IS a 5
easy to detect dishonest ad as Il
dishonest man. Something in the
face of the man and the al tells the
story. -Printcr's Ink

That, of all known agents 10 accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
used, they are Arrays IN fdrOr. Their Sec
ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
regular, not to further constipate, as is the
case with other pills Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-
stipation, piles, and indigestion.
The " Pleasant Pellets are far more effec-
tive in arousing the liver to action than "blue
pills." calomel, or other mercurial prepare
tions, and have the further merit Of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system no particular
care is required while using them.
Composed of the choicest concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that of other pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to forty-four Pellets"
are put up in each sealed glass vial, as sold
through druggists, and can be had at the price
of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills.
DR.. Pierce prides himself on having been
first to introduce Little Liver Pill to the
American people. Many have initiated them,
but none have approached his Pleasant Pei
lets in excellence.
For all laxative and cathartic purposes
the Pleasant Pellets" are infinitely supe-

AS "dinner pill" to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve

action afterward. Their help lasts.

TREES AND PLANTS.

The tallest trees in the world grow
in Australia. They are a species of
marsh gum and some are said to ex-
coed 300 feet in height.
The resurrection plant, a native of
South Africa, becomes dry and appar-
emily lifeless during drouth, but opens
it's leaves and assumes all the appear
ance of life when rain falls.
The Victoria lily of Guiana has a
circular leaf from six to twelve feet

edge like tray and can support, ac-
cording to its size, from 100 to 300
pounds.
There is wild flower, resembling
an orchid, which grows in several
parts of Turkey. 1t is an exact floral

breast is green, the wings are q deep
rose color, the head and beak almost
black.
There is a plant in Jamaica called
the life plant, because it is almost i'm
possible to kill it or any portion of it.
When leaf is cut off and hung up by
a string it sends out white thread
like roots, gathers moisture from the
air and begins to grow new leaves.
The Owen Glendower oak, near
Shrewsbury, is forty-four feet in di-

Glendower, the Welsh leader, climbed
into its topmost branches to recon-
hotter an approaching English army.
The banyan tree is a grove of it.
self. It's branches send out stringy
filaments which finally reach the

One such tree in India has 400 main
trunks and over s, 900 smaller. An
English army of 1000 men has been
sheltered at one time under it's
branches.
The baobab trees of Senegal are de-
nominated by Humboldt the oldest

One he describes particularly as being

and 400 in diameter.
The sage of commerce is made from
the trunk of palm tree. 1t is said to
be n most extraordinary sight to see
the trunk of a large tree cut down
and in a few hours wholly converted
into food. A single tree will provide
food enough for a man for whole
year, and ten days labor will convert
it into palatable and nourishing ar
