TOYS FOR THE CHILDREN.
AN Important Part of the Household Out

An Important Part of the Household Out
fit.
In house where there are children,
toys are an important part of the
family outfit They are of many kinds,
and are to be found anywhere between
garnet and cellar: for wherever child
may go some of his beloved toys are
sure to follow.
In their headquarters, the nursery,
the assortment is quite bewildering.
Blocks, dolls, hobby-horses, sham vii
lagos, miniature articles of furniture,
wooden dogs and sheep, with all their
companions from Noah's ark, music
boxes, balls, rattles, jostle against each
other in the wonderful confusion.
How the young owners tread their
way among them it is difficult to I'M
derstand. How the toys are to be kept
in any sort of order is puzzle for the
older heads. It is well to have a large
neatly covered box which may serve as
receptacle for most of them at night
and for unused ones during the day.
There are others whose shapes and
sizes demand for them at all times
separate existence.
Children should be taught to handle
them all properly, and not to be need
1essly destructive. 1t is very remark
able to observe how long a we1l-made
toy may last under careful treatment.
It may furnish amusement for whole
family of children and look quite re-
spectacle when they are through with
it. On the other hand, It is quite as
tonishing to notice how rapidly some
toys go to pieces. Their existence is
more ephemera1 than that of the pro-
verbal butterfly.
Some wise mothers preserve various
members of broken dolls, afterward
fitting the several parts according to
their skill, and thus making new phoe-
nixlike creatures from the remains of
the old ones. These, dressed in fresh
attire, gain added value in the eyes of
little mammas, and lend grace by their
presence to a dolls reception or holt
day party.-Harper's Bazaar.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued III, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When five horse power engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will "bolt - his food i'll a few min
l1tes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful III the
stomach a key of nails would be in
fire under boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break, - because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tenpts to find rest i'll bed.
The application of common sense III the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy 1,Ian the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The pellets " are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for short time TO cure tile biliousness,
constipation and slotlifulness or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken i'll teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes

Patriotic Correction.

The historian of Warwick, r. T., tells
a story of Elder Charles Holden, who
was pastor of the church in that town
at the time of the declaration of Amer
lean independence. He had been ac-
customed to pray for 1.-The king and all
in authority in his public services, and
his thoughts, from long running in the
same channel, had crystallized them
selves in words from which he found it
difficult to break away. The elder was
patriotic, and the new order of things
interfered with his set forms of speech
At one time, while praying, he came to
the place, 1--WE pray for the king and
all in authority" and before he was
aware of it. the words were uttered.
He stopped short, and after an instant's
hesitation, added: Living in Rhode

A WOMAN's HEART.
One Disease That Battles the
Physician.
The Story of Wonna., Who Suffered for
Nine Years. How She Was Cured.

fFrom the Newark, N. j., Evening News.l
Valvular disease of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
interview, therefore, will interest the med
1ca1 profession, since it describes the sue
cessful use Of new treatment for this dis
ease. The patient is Mrs. George Archer,
of Clifton, n. j., and this publication by
the News is the first mention made of the
case by any newspaper. All physicians con-
suited pronounced the patient suffering
with valvular disease of the heart, and
treated her without the slightest relief.
Mrs. Archer said: 81 could not walk across
the floor; neither could go upstairs with
out stopping to let the pain in my chest and
left arm cease. felt an awful construction
about my arm and chest as though were
tied with ropes Then there was a terrible
noise at my right ear, like the labored
breathing of some great animal. I have
often turned expecting to see some creature
at my side.
''Last July" continued Mrs. Archer, 1T
was at Springfield, Mass, visiting, and my
mother showed me an account in the
Springfield Examiner, telling of the Won
derful cures effected by the use of DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Ny
mother urged me to try the pills and on
November 18th last bought a box and began
taking them, and I have taken them ever
since, except for short interval. The first
box did not seem to benefit me, but I perse-
vered, encouraged by the requests of my
relatives. After beginning on the second
box to my wonder, the noise at my right
ear ceased entirely. I kept right on and the
distress that used to feel in my chest and
arm gradually disappeared The blood has
returned to my face, lips and ears, which
were entirly devoid of color, and I feel
well and strong again.
t'My son, too, had been troubled with
gastritis and 1 induced him to try the Pink
Pills, with great benefit. l feel that every
body ought to know of my wonderful cure
and bless God that have found something
that has given me this great relief.'
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are now given to
the public an unfailing blood builder and
nerve restorer, curing all forms of weak

arising from mental worry, overwork, or

COST OF OLD BOOKS.


of the Dealers Patrons.
The book hunter soon finds out that
the prices for old, rare tones varies in
ratio to the quality, or wealth, of a
dealers patrons. This is as true of
the book shops of San Francisco, Chi
cago, New Orleans or Boston as it is of
New York, the leading old book mart
of the country. If you go into the
stylish book stores of any of these
cities you will have to pay twenty-five
to fifty per cent. more for a book than
if you went to the inconsequential
dealers in out-of-the-way places-in
cellars or in tumbled down shops.
Another point in book prices is the
high prices charged for one sort of
books and the cheapness of others.
On the five and ten-cent counters will
be found beautifully bound religious
works and volumes of novels, worn
and cheap editions of popular novels
and technical works, too ancient to be
of any special service at this time. It is
an unusual thing to find bargain on
any of these cheap counters; the deal
ers are exceedingly careful on that
score. Albeit, every once in while, a
dealer gets caught mapping, and the
book hunter picks up a tome of great
value.
Then the prices go up and down, ac-
cording to the fads. The Napoleon fad
is now on, and everything about the
little Corsican is selling at an advance
on last years prices. There is also a
boom on Americans-the early editions
of Lowell, Hawthorne and Holmes now
bring good round figures. Just as soon
as the dealers find that the public is
after a certain line of books, the dealers
put up the price. This the dealers
deny, of course, but the book hunter
who makes regular rounds of the shops
knows better.
It may be said that religious works
sell at the cheapest prices; dramatic
works, memoirs and annals of the stage
at the highest. Works on sport average
up with the drama. Audibon's works
are always held at high figures. Frank
Forrester's works, now out of print, are
hard to pick up, and the few found on
sale go at fancy figures.
The high prices for sporting works
are owing to two causes. Works of
this character are rarely issued, except
in limited editions, and are we'll printed
and bound. Dramatic and sporting
works seldom go into second editions,
SO when an edition is exhausted the
purchaser must go to the old book store.
These works gotten up in the style of
Booths letters and Jefferson's autobi-
ography-both exquisitely illustrated
are not thrown away when read, like
most novels are, but are preserved for
reference. Hence, when a copy gets
into secondhand book stores the figure
asked is often greater than the pub
1isher's price.-N. Y. Advertiser
