The little key that opens the small pad

door. The door that will withstand the at
tack of a crowbar opens readily with the
proper use of key one-thousandth part as
big and strong. Big things are not always
the most useful or the most effective. Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are little, so small
that forty of them will go into vial no larger
round than lead pencil and two inches
long. They are tiny, sugar. coated granules,
but they do theirwork more effectivelyth than
nauseous doses a hundred times their bulk
They are for the cure of constipation. They
cure the hundred and one symptom of con-
stipation. They cure headaches, bilious
ness, sour stomach foul breath, heartburn,
palpitation of the heart and pimples, and
they assist in the cure of almost every dis
ease with which mankind is afflicted. No
one can get well unless the regular, healthy
action of the digestive organs is restored.
The pellets" will do this. One little
pellet" is gentle laxative and two mild
cathartic. Without causing any pain, grip
ing or any other unpleasantness they will
restore the natural action of the bowels, and
when this is done their use may be discon-
tinued. They are not ment to supersede
Nature, but to help her, and that is all she
needs. There are druggists who for the sake

Oysters Becoming Rare.

"Oysters will be a very rare delnacy
in a few years." said C. C. Hunt, am oys-
ter man of New York. For many years
the beds were preserved 10 a large ex-
tent by having an oyster season and
keeping alive the popular idea that oys-
tiers were not good except from Septem-
Der to April. This gave four months
during which the oysters were let alone
and allowed to increase. As q matter
of fact, I think they are little better
during those four months than al any
other time. This was first discovered
by. the seaside hotel men, and oysters
we're ser we'd during the summer months.
Theguests demanded bivalves when they
returned to their homes, and now IN all
eastern cities the signs of Fresh Oys-
ters' are as numerous in July and Au-
gust as in January and February. The
new demand is being supplied, and at
no time are the beds left undfsturbed.
Ieis now only question of few years
before the oysters are gone, and all be-
cause the summer resort hotel men dis
abused the minds of the people as to
their. not being good to eat from April
to September."-N. Y. Sun.

Cheating the Creditor.

If these glorifiers of the old order Of
things could restore the conditions that
prevailed previous to 1878 and make
Che market value of silver what it was
then, they would not want free coinage.
There would be nothing in it for them.
What they really want is cheap money,
kind of money with which creditors
can be cheated. They are not trying tc
put silver back to its old place and re
establish the monetary system that ex
listed before the "great crime" was com
mitted. Their scheme does not imply
the coinage of better dollars than thost
we now have, but infinitely poorer ones
which can be used in the payment Of
debts at the rate of 5S cents on the dol
lar.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

RELIEF FOR THE ARMENlANs.
ImpraeticabiIity OF the Means Adopted
In This Country.

The Armenians are certainly to be
pitied. just as they are rallying some
what from the massacre and the subse-
quent destitution and Generalization,
there comes proposition which will
do more than almost anything else to
cut off the sources from which relief
has come, and also bind them more
closely under Turkish tyranny. About
$7o1o0o has been collected in this coun-
try and England, which has been ex-
pended chiefly for food and clothing,
but alsofor implements of labor. 1t is
not large sum, but it has accomplished
marvels in the preservation Of life and
in the reviving of hope and courage.
OF late there has arisen feeling that
unless there is hope of altered political
conditions, to continue such charity is
simply to pour water into sieve"
and the question has arisen, would 1t
not be better to get the Armenians out
of the country. One of the relief ssso-
Citations has taken up the idea, and
calls for millior-dollar fund to secure
emigration. ...
There is something plausible in this,
yet really no more impracticable or per-
nicious scheme could well be proposed.
There are about 1,5OO, 900 Armenians in
the disturbed sections of Turkey. They
are mostly peasants or small tradesmen,
thoroughly welded to their oriental
homes, manner Of life and methods of
work. Misfortune has left them poor,
broken spirited, with little courage for
change. The Turkish government is
bitterly opposed not merely 10 their
leaving the country, but to their chang
ing residence. To get any appreciable
number away it would be necessary to
overcome the hostility Of the Turk and
their own inertia, find a country to take
them to, transport them, provide them
dwellings, tools, and living expenses for
some time, and pay the agents Of the
emigration scheme. The cheapest place
would be Persia, but they would be little
If any better off on the whole Russia
doesn't want them. There is no room
in Europe. How far would the fund go
towards bringing them to and settling
them on this continent?
In fact the scheme is utterly imprac-
ticable. More than that, it is very
nearly criminal. 1t discourages the
only way in which relief can come to
them, and by arousing the jealousy Of
the Turkish government makes their
situation more difficult. Bad as their
condition is it is better than it has been,
and the only way to relieve it In the fu-
ture is to continue the gifts. A dollar
ofrelief is worth $50 spent in schemes of
rescue. So long as the missionaries are
on the field, every cent contributed will
be well used. Brown Brothers, of this
city, or the treasurer of the American
board in Boston, will forward all that

ENGLISH MUSlC-HALL SONGS
The More Popular Airs Produced by q
Few Writers.

The More Popular Airs Produced by q
Few Writers.
At music halls the songs, or those
with the best chances of being popular,
are written chiefly by only two or three
writers; and to this fact sometimes
is attributed what must be called their
painful monotony, or, at the least, un-
happy paucity, Of theme. You have the
mother-in-law, and the motherin-law,
of course, is a nuisance and an obstacle.
You have the deceiving husband. You
have the deceived, or deceiving, wife,
Everyone, it seems, is busy in doing that
which he pretends not to be doing, yet
which all the world assumes that he
Is certain to do. Along with these out
worn themes, from which one would
fain seek relief in some fresh OBSERVE
ton of life and of the passing manners
Of the day, you have occasionally, If
the hall is popular" rather than fash
ionable, some very broad compliment
to whatare called the working Glasses"
as the base-the inevitable, priceless
base-of society's column; and You
have, in times especially of excitement,
appeals to patriotism. some of which
are sound, but some of which make
one think of NJ. de la Rochefoucauld's
remark that there are 'few Of us who
have not sufficient strength to bearthe
misfortnnes"-yes, even if those mis-
fortunes be the wounds of death-"of
other people"
The effect of familiarity and poverty
of theme in the actual songs of the
music halls is minimized, it is true,
to some extent, by the measure of gag"
of fresh and personal matter which the
best comedians of the music hall-and
many who are not the best-allow them
selves tointroduce. But, after all, of the
songs of the music hall it has got TO
be said, in parting from them. that
the greater part of their comedy is
based on oosrseness. and that il You
can imagine the RELATION Of the sexes
deprived altogether oPfts carnal side,
or, If you will, that carmel side accepted
once for all as healthy and above boerd,
and so notopen toinnuendoor comment,
the song Of the music hall would at
stroke be deprived of half of its ma
terial.-Nineteenth Century.

Early Days Of Coffee.

1t is recorded in a New View of
London, published in l7OS, that lone
james Fair, barber, who kept the
house (Which is now the Rainbow by
the Inner Temple gate, one of the oldest
in England, was in the year 1867 pre-
sented by the inquest of st. Dunstan' s
fo- making and selling sort of liquor
called coffee, to the great nuisance and
prejudice of the neighborhood. And
who (adds the author) could then have
thought London would ever have 8, 600
such nuisances and that coffee would
have been, as now, SO much drunk by
the first quality and physicians?"

A Barbarous Policy.

After the Dutch had taken the Mo-
luccas from the Portuguese they intro.
duced the cultivation of the Glove into
their own possessions, cut down all the
Glove trees of the Moluccas and pro-
nounced death on any one who would
plant a single Glove bush or gather or
sell pound of the product. Expeditions
were sent from their other eastern pos
sessions every year TO cut down any
bushes that might have accidentally
started in the Molucca islands. This
barbarous policy made the islands a
desert for, deprived of their forests, the
volcanic soil was washed away, and the
population starved or was deported.

They Burned Gloves.

From the middle of the sixteenth con.
fury until 1924 the Dutch regulated OF
sought to regulate the Glove trade and
the price by annually destroying a por'
ton of the crop in order to enhance the
price of the remainder. The burning OF
cloves took place annually, from quar-,
ter to half of the crop being thus de.
stroyed. The last Glove burning was in
1924, when the practice was disoontin,
