That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
uSed, they are dttCayS an fdUOr. Their SEQ
ondaIry 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 ere far more effeo-
tive in arousing the liver to action than "blue
pills." calomel, or other mercurial prepara-
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 atthe 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 Peb

SECURE SLIDING GATE.

This arrangement is shown in the IL
lustration from sketch by f. e.
Farnham, of Washington. 1t is best to
make little roller with three fourth
inch bolt, over which to run the gate
That part of the gate which slides on
rollers should be made of double thick
ness of inch stuff. The gate should be
shut in between two posts set far
enough apart to admit the end OF the
gate readily. This prevents the wind
from moving the gate, which is as solid
as any part of the fence. Make the
rail of the gate, which runs on the
roller, one foot longer than the others;
and nail to the two posts last mentioned
a cross-piece, SO that when the gate Is
shut the latch end will hang clear of
the ground on this supporting piece

A Question of Grammar, Not Love.

A young lady by the name of Pris-
ella Winthrop is visiting some rela-
tives in Austin, Tex She is very gram
matical in her conversation. Kosciusko
Jones, who rarely ever utters gram
matical sentence, fell head over heels
in love with Priscilla, and utilized the
first opportunity to fall on his knees
and say:
81 loves you!"
81 love you, Mr.. JONES' said Pris-
ella, correcting him.
You say you love me, too. All, how

DIET FOR SPRING.
Signs OF Natures Cravings for a Chan
Fnod-


in Food.
reward the end of winter and as the
spring days come on, almost every one
feels languid, loses his appetite and
seems to care nothing for the usual
articles of food.
This may be interpreted as one of
natures cravings for a change in diet.
AT such seasons it is worth while to
take a great deal of pains to provide
fresh fruits and vegetables. Many Sc
rlous disorders may be prevented and
corrected in their earliest stages by a
Judlcious use of green's of some sort.
4 There are few localities where water
crosses cannot be grown, and these are
among the most valuable of articles
Tor spring diet. Any one who owns a
few feet of ground with sunny ex-
posure may have pit and raise let
tuce and radishes the year round. 1t
is an exceedingly easy thing to do,
costs but trife and would save many
dollar in doctors bills and medicine.
A carefully arranged bed for these
two vegetables need not cover a space
over three by ten or twelve feet in
surface. 1t is sometimes more desira-
bic to have half dozen single-sash
beds than one or two large ones, then
II anything happens to sash only a
part of the crop is injured, whereas an

1t is idle to say that one cannot take
the time and trouble for this, and that
it does not pay, for it really does, and
once the trial is made, nothing would
induce the householder to get along
without it. Allof the delights of gath
ering fresh vegetables for our own
table are not to be carelessly passed
over. The hotbed, cold-frame and fore
ing-pit should be as much of necessity
to the occupant of every good-sized
plot of ground as the vegetable-cellar
and the preserve-closet.-N Y. Ledger.

IMPROVED FARM GATE,

An Arrangement Which Is Sure to Give
Satisfaction.
In making a gateway for fourteen
foot roadway the gate should be twen-
ty feet long. This allows for six feet
to balance that part of the gate over
the roadway, and in opening, a person
merely takes a portion of the weight
of the gate and slides the same couple
of feet, when it is balanced and can be
opened as easily as if swung on hinges

Assist nature little now and then with a
gentle laxative, or, if need be, with more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-
rating the liver and quickening its tardy
action, and you thereby remove the cause
of multitude of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their bow
els, they would have less frequent occasion
to call for their doctors services to subdue
attacks of dangerous diseases

Breathing Poison.

You can't draw breath without inhaling
poison, if you sojourn in a malarious locality
during the unhealthy seasons The deni-
zens of malaria stricken regions testify that
the only certain safeguard against the pois-
onous vapor and its products, chills and
fever, remittent fever, ague cake and dumb
ague, is Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which
remedies, also, constipation, biliousness,
dyspepsia and rheumatism.

LABOR-SAvlNG DEVICE.
Excellent Contrivance for Handling Ma

Excellent Contrivance for Handling Ma
nure in the Barn.
l built a new barn in 1888, and laid
cement cutters with sufficient fall to
drain them into an apartment adjoin-
ing the stables. Into this pit are
wheeled all the manure and bedding
which can be procured This includes
leaves, sawdust, dry earth and sods, in
fact, anything that will act as an alb
sorbent and increase the manure heap.
This pit is cleared out once week in
winter and applied where it will do the
most good. My device for handling
manure in the barn consists of a track
of strap like that used for barn door
rollers, and a car which runs upon it.
The cut shows the thing complete. The
track is fastened securely over the gut

We notice in late number of another
St. Johnsbury paper, a highly exaggerated

antiquities; or perchance a would-be
Barnum. We are glad to be able to
give the public the truth of the matter.
That cow" although a native of
Glover, does not date back to the Run
away Pond" era but when a blooming
helter was a part of the bridal dowry
which Mrs. Blake received from her
father, Mr.. Phillips, of Glover. 1t is
but few short years since Mr.. and Mrs
Blake celebrated their golden wedding,
so we leave it to reasonable people to
decide which account is correct.
