SURE CURE FOR CONSTIPATION.

"The songs Of birds aud the Tyre will not
restore Sleep 10 the sufferer from constipation.
At best the victim Of constipation gets but troub-
led snatches Of the sweet restorer." This is the
penalty that nature inficts for neglect OF her
Jaws. The brain poisoned like the body by con-
situation rebels and declines to rest while the
blood continues to flood ii with the foulest Of i'm
pu-ities. DR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are sure,
speedy aud permanent cure for constipation, and
NIGHTS OF sweet refreshing sleep are the result.
One Pellet is a gentle laxative, and two a
mild catha.tic. They are natural and easy in
their action. and never grippe. Substitutes
mean an inferior article, and more profit for
the druggist.

Every year, on the. approach. of win

little as well rs big ones, have to leave
their summer quarters In search of
SUMMER lands. How large birds Of
strong wing can cross such a wide
stretch Of water as the eastern part of
the Mediterranean 1t is easy to under
stand, but how do the wee ones, like
wrens, titmice, finches and the rest
manage It? Why, they ride first-class
on the back of cranes. In autumn great
f!ocks of cranes may be seen travelling
southwards, flying low and giving forth
n strange cry, as II Of warning, and
they sweep along southwards. As soon
ms they hear this note all kinds of little
birds fly up to the cranes and settle on
their backs, the twitter of those already
snugly squirting thereon being audible
ut times. Then when spring revisits
the north, and 1t Ii time for the little
things to return to their old haunts, the
cranes carry them back again--this

felt assured their tiny friends would

UNIQUE Home Decoration.

The home OF the late Henry G.
Bowen, editor OF the Independent, in
Brooklyn, is peculiar in it's decorations.
AS one enters the hall, says the Fort
Wayne Daily Gazette, he finds himself
surrounded by birds of every variety.
On the ceiling there Is a representation
Of congress Of birds to settle the ques-
ton which was the best bird.
The library table, the chairs, book
cases, piano, curtain, and all the other
articles of furniture and decoration
were made ut his order.
In ordering the carpet his idea was
one giving the impression of handful
OF roses strewn carelessly about the
iloor. When the decorators came to the
ceiling, they proposed to put ideal pic
lures in the corners, but Mr.. Bowen
desired to have the faces of his wife
and three daughters ever before him.
The dresses are ideal, but the faces are
real.
From the ceiling Of the parlor the
faces of Mr.. Bowen's fourteen grand
children look down upon the visitor.
On the floor above, In one Of the
rooms, are the heads of the father and
his sever sons carved In the furniture.
The historical chamber has groups
representing the landing OF Columbus,
Washington mt Valley Forge, Miles
Standish, and Lincoln signing the Proc
lamati0p Of Emancipation, while in the
corners are the portraits OF Standish,
Washington, Columbus and Lincoln.
