is a large stone, about thirty inches long
by eighteen wide and twelve inches thick,
and all the sovereigns of England for the
last 800 years have sat upon it when they
were crowned. The chair is known as the
coronation chair, and the stone is claimed
to be the same which Jacob the son of
Isaac, the son of Abraham, used as a pill

A Useful Continuance,

The proprietors of the Bellevue
Hotel have procured and placed in
their Office clock that will preclude
the possibility of guest oversleeping
through the sleepiness of the night
clerk. 1t is called the Electric Re-
minder Clock" and is so arranged that
by the simple act of inserting metal
lie plug in hole corresponding to the
hour and minute at which a guest
wishes to be called, the clock will form
a contact which rings the bell in the
proper room at unat time. In case
there is more than one bell to be rung
at the same hour the clock does it all
with no further trouble. This ar
rangement is one which is readily ap-
preciated by the travelling man who
has been disappointed by the night
clerk going to sleep and failing to call
him in time for his early train. The
clock is we'll finished piece of mech
anism and ornamental to any Office.

Many of the North American Indians
were magnificent specimens of physical
manhood. This was due, largely, to their
active outdoor life. Nevertheless, they
had the wisdom to know that an active life
in the open air alone, would not keep a
man healthy. They, had their medicine;
men, who gathered herbs from field and
forest and brewed decoctions to assist the
natural processes of the various vital
organs. H
Modern civilized men do not as a usual
thing recognize the same necessity until It
is too late. They ignore medicine until
they are within the grasp of some serious
or fatal disease. The time for man to be-
gin taking medicine Is when he begins to
feel out of sorts. If a man Is thoroughly
we'll and healthy he does not feel that way
If he does feel that way he may be pretty
sure that he is half sick. When he Is half
sick 1t does not take long before he is

Liver
Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the sallow
and the clear white of the eye is dyed
saffron-there is danger. 1t is liver
trouble. The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use Of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.
