The Small BOYS Errand.

Why has not some one thought to
dub the Small Boy "Errand-goer to the
Family" The name would beautiful

Boys errands? "Turnabout is fair

be a good way to bring the family to

are many; in fact, almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead of preventing con
stipation,. add to it. This is true of most
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
results with the same dose, even after
fifty years daily use, and this is Brand
reth's Pills, which has a record of over
100 years as the standard remedy for con-
stipation and all troubles arising from ar
impure state of the blood.

Publication Of Music in America.
Philadelphia prints more than one
quarter of all the music published
in the United Etates, and the total
amount of it is six times as great
rs it was fifteen years ago. But
while Europe shows no such increase
as that, this country's total output is
still less than that OF several other
European cities. In this city
the amount Of Instrumental mu-
sic printed used to exceed that of
vocal music. This was due, it is
said, to the cheapening of pianos in
recent years and the popularity of
banjo and guitar music. Now, how
ever, the banjo at least has lost some
Of it popularity and the gain in vocal
music-until 1t is about equal to the
