Although very busy man, Dr. Il.
V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, has found
time in which to write great book of
over thousand pages entitled, The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser, in Plain English, or Medicine
Simplitied, Few books printed in the
English language have reached so
great sale as has this popular work,
over $4,000 copies having been sold at
Sl,5O each. The profits on this euor-
nous sale having repaidits author for
the great amount of labor and money
expended on its production he has
now decided to give away, absolutely
free, 100000 copies of this valuable
book, the recipient only being re-
quired to mail TO the Worlds DiSpen-
sary Medical Association, of Buffalo,
n. Y, of which company he is presi-
dent, twenUy-one (2l) one-cent stamps,
to cover cost Of mailing only, and the
book will be sent postpaid. 1t is a
veritable medical library, complete ia
one volume. 1t cotaiLS zoos large
pages, over 300 illustrations some of
them in cOlOrS. The Free Edition is
precisely the same as that sold at $3.50
except only that the books are bound
in strong MANILA paper covers, in
stead of cloth. 1t is not often that
our readers have an opportunity to
obtain valuable book on such gener-
Gus terms, and we predict that few
will miss availing themselves of the
unusual and liberal offer to which we
have called their attention.

Beecher as a Slave Auctioneer.

Even people of mature years whose
memory is Clear about matters before
and during the war have practically
forgotten that Hery Ward Beecher
used his pulpit in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, as an auction block for
slaves. The most famous of his "Slave
sales" was that Of the beautiful girl,
Sarah, and it was upon this occasion
that the most exciting scenes ever
witnessed in Plymouth Church, or in
any other American church for that
matter, occurred. Mr.. Beecher was
unusually dramatic; he put fire into
his words, as he stood the slave girl
on the platform beside him, which
fairly burned into the hearts of his
auditors. 1t was not long before the
people became almost hysterical with
excitement. But Beecher kept on
until he was ready to pass the cOllec-
ton baskets. Then the auditors gave
vent to their feelings, and not only
heaps of money were put into the
baskets but men and women took Jff
their rings, unfaSteCed their watches
and threw them into the baskets and
on the platform. 1t was a remarkable
scene, and such one as probably will
never be eQualed in this country.
Mrs. Beecher recalls the events with
wonderful vividness in her article in
the Christmas Ladies Home Journal,
when she tells the whole story of
when Mr. Beecher Sold Slaves in
Plymouth Pulpit" The scene itself
is remarkably well brought to the eye
of the reader by a striking illustration
made by De ThUrlstrup from material
furnished the artist by Mrs. Beecher.

invited by the members of the British
Astronomica Expedition to accompany

to observe the total eclipse Of tile sun,
which took place August 8.
Miss KIumpke enjoys the disiiction of
being the most celebrated OF living women
astronomers, and is quite young. being only
little over thirty years of age She re-
ceivel a public school education at San
Francisco, and afterward proceeded TO
Europe, where she pursued her astronomi-
cal studies. first at Gottiogen and then in
Switzerland
When scarcely out of her teens Miss
Knmpke carried Off the prize Of five thou
sand francs offered by the Paris Observatory
for treatise on com cts, and the fair young
astronomers paper was the fruitful source
of uDbounded astonishmcnt and admiration
on the part of all the astronomers in the
French capital as well as OF that of scien-
tific men all the world over. Miss Klumpke
is very pretty, and has the most fascinating
manners, besides being learned in other
sciences than the one which has rendered
her famous.
