TWO ANCIENT RELICS.
ScoIa Gag Used in Puritan Times, An Old
Book Printed by B. FFaekIin in 1853.

Squire ID. G.. Maxwell is the
custodian Of two ancient relics.
One Is an iron gag which was en-
p]oyed by the Puritans to put a
q~uietus on seo]ding women, When
the squire exhibited this contrap.
ton to some Of his friends,
they all thought it was a piece of
steel trap. The fiat piece of iron,
like the pare of a steel-trap where
the bait is attached, was inserted
in the scold's mouth. Two hexi-
bic iron legs are shaped to fit any
head and are provided with q
clamp which secures them behind.
The scold did not suffer any pain,
unless she tried to move her
tongue Bad people in the crowd
said they suspected that print
tive plantersSouth had acquainted
their slaves with such a device Oh
occasion, This particular scold-
cure, however, the squire can
trace directly to Massachusetts,.
He got it from DR.. Samuel Grier,
Of Cabarrus.
From DR.. Grier, again, the
Squire has borrowed "The Amer
lean INSTRUCTOR" printed by B.
Franklin and D. Hall at the new
printing Office in Market street,
1853. Viewed externally the book
looks like an old fashlned little
family Bible. 1t is bound in stout
cow-hide and has a strong clasp.
A glance at the inside will disc
base the mind of any impression
% its sacredness, though it. does
not neglect theology in its grand
congregation of knowledge.
From spelling to mythology, it
undertakes to teach everything to
American youth. the margins
are very narrow and the paper
yellow with age. From this clum-
~ fruit of"the press to the Roy
croft art is a far cry.
It is the quaintest reading in
the world. The mytholog, is de-
liclous, 'There has been DO
King, nor other Person. that We
read of In profane History, that
mas rendered his Name more ia.
nous than Hercules" it says.

But the best thing Of all is the
department entitled, The Poor

abused home remedies are pre-
scribed, some of them simply IN

thing could be expurgated and

SUPERVISION BY THE STATE

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The grand jury in
its final report calls upon the Legisla-
ture to protect the public from private
banks The jury says. III commenting
on the methods of the Pan-Amerfcan,
the president of which. F. w Hunt, is
indicted:
1T has been called forcbibly to the at
tention of this body that the use of the
word bank by private individuals, who
are not amenable to any national or
State law in regard to official inspection
d regulation, Is taken advantage of by
INSCRIPTIONS persons to deceive and de-
spoil the unwdry, and that the uIlfor-
tunate victims of this species of conf
dence game come from the poor ard I'M
experienced, who can least afford the
ensuing losses.
I'VE recommend to the General AS
sembly Of Illinois the passage of a law
forbidding the use OF the word bank by
any person, firm, or corporation without
complying with and subjecting them
selves to all the provisions Of the law
in regard 10 incorporated banks. as TO
inspection, regulation and the making
OF deposits, for the protection of their
patrons and depCsitors.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not Patent Cure-A1, Nor a Modern
Miracle, But Simply a Rational
Cure for DYSPEPSIA.

In these days of hunbuggery and de-
ception, the manufacturers Of patent
medicines, as rule, seem TO think their
medicines will not sell unless they claim
that ii will cure every disease under
the sun. And they never think of 1eav-
ing out dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
They are sure TO claim that their nos
trum is absolutely certain to cure every
dyspeptic. and he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims it is
refreshing to note that tie proprtetors
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Taniets have care
fully refrained from making any undue
claims or false representa- lions regard
ing the merits of this most excellent
remedy for dyspepsia and stomach tFou-
bles. They make but one claim for il,
and that is. that for Indigestion and
various stomach troubles Stuart's Dys-
pepsfa Tablets Is a radical cure. They
go no farther than this, and any man
or woman suffering from Indigestion.

nothing is claimed Tor 1t that the facts

Il is a modern discovery. composed
of harmless vegetable ingredients ae-
ceptable TO the weakest or most deli

that the medicinal properties are such
that II Will digest whatever wholesome
food is taken into ne stomach, no mat

working order or not. It rests the over
worked organ and replenisiles the body,
the blood, the nerves, creating q healthy
appetite, giving refreshing sleep, and
the blessings which always accompany
a good digestion and proper assinila-
ton of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no
dieting is required. Simply eat plenty of
wholesome food and take these Tablets
at each meal, thus assisting and resting
the stomach, which rapidly regains its
proper digestive power, when the Tab

ton in which some portion or portions
of the nervous system are not properly

the nervous system and every organ in

The goods were manifested at such
low figures that the customs officers

He returned an affidavit that these
were the prices he lad paid, as all
Oriental curies had fallen fully one-half
IN price because of the japanese desire
to convert goods Into ssltdy money.
