AYER'S Sarsaparilia, wherever used, is always spoken of in termsof highest praise. WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Fairfield, Me. says, in s letter recently received: It srives me pleasure to speak from personal knowledge ofthe wonderful cure, by the use of AYER’S Sarsa- Parills, of absd humor ins child elevea years old. The child's hands, arms, feet and legs were covered with blotches and scabs, resisting all local applica- tions. Very soon after taking AYER’S Sarsaparills thehumor disappeared, the cure being complete. As ablood purifier I consider that AYER’3 SARSAPARILLA Stands atthe head of the whole catslorue of such Preparations, especially when used in connection with AYER’S Pills.” “There can be noquestion asto the superiority of AYER'S Sarsaparilla over all other bloed purifiers, If this was not the case the domand forit, stead of in- creasing yearly, would have ceased long ago, like #0 many other blood medicines I could name."—F.

The Lady Has Become a Member of the Bon Ton and Couldn’t Be Bother- ed. From the Detroit Free Press. ‘The colored driver of an ash wagon stop- ped his horse in front of a humble cabin on Grove street the other forenoon and called out and motioned to a woman who could be seen through one of the front windows. She took her time about appearing, but finally opened the front door and inquired: “Was yo’ callin’ to me, sah?” “Was [ callin’ to yo’? Of co’se I was callin’ to yo’! Hev yo’ dun got any wood hes to sell?” SsrWhat I doin’ wid wood ashes around Lg doin’? Why, bress my soul, but yo’ am gittin’ mighty peart,Missus : ’ yere fur ober three Slokum!

Too Many Americans Woefally De- ficient in That Branch of Education. “When my children get to the proper age,” said the man who was smoking & briar pipe, “I intend to have them taken.in hand by some ¢ompetent person and give them a thorough instruction in the aft of eating and, further, in the science of find- ing out what to eat amd ordering.” “What do you mean?” inquired a Buffalo Express man who sat next to him. “I mean this: The average American citi- zen is woefully deficient in knowledge of what he can get to eat. He falls down when it comes to ordering a dinner. The great majority of people in this country are brought up frugally at home and do not know anything but the commonest dishes. ‘The consequence is that when a man goes (into a restaurant for dinner or to a hotel he gazes helplessly at the bill of fare and | sees. many things of which he does not know the component parts. He dares not ‘order anything that he is not sure of for fear of ridicule, and he falls back on roast | beef and mashed potatoes. The fact is, he |doesn’t know anything but roast beef. | Same way in a restaurant. When a waiter shoves a bill of fare under f man’s nose tine times out of ten he will Jook it over and then say: ‘Gimme a steak and some fried potatoes.’ Now, the man who does this day after day doesn’t want réast beef. He is sick unto death of steaks arid fried potatoes. He loathes ham and eggs, and yet he keeps on ordering them in dreary and dyspeptic succession,because he doesn’t know any better and he is too proud to confess his ignorance. It’s that way with me, and J'll bet it's that way with most of | you I am going to relieve my children of all these things. They're going to know | what's what when it comes to eating. ‘No \roast beef domination!’ shall be my house- | hold slogan.” | +06 ——___ South Sea Pirates on Trial. From the London Telegraph. A writer of thrilling stories of adventure for boys would find a plot ready to his hand in the charges brought against two Frenchmen name Rorique, brothers, who are at present awaiting their trial at Brest. According to the case for the prosecution, these men are latter day pirates of a par- ticularly Jaring description. On December 15, 1891, the French schooner Ninroahiti, treding with Tahiti, left that place under the command of a native skipper named ‘Yenac a Tara. The first mate was Joseph Korique, one of che aceused, and the crew con: ed of an Englishman named William Gibson, who was supercargo, four natives, and a half-easte, who acted as cook. The vessel carried 40,000 francs’ worth of goods to be exchanged in some South Sea islands for mother-of-pearl and other products. At one of these out-of-the-way ports Joseph orique’s brother, Alexander, came on rd, and the two then planned the mutiny. aptain and the Englishman were shot, the crew, all but the cook, were killed means of poisoned food; whereupon the hers took command of the vessel, nted out the name, substituting that of Le Rot,” and making a descent on a little sland, forced some of the Inhabitants to eome and man the ship. Possibly they | might ve remained undiscovered, but for fterward they that some time threatened to kill the half. [upon went and gav® in: 4 #uthorities of one of the Caroline THE NEW CONGRESS.

Each lit- tle girl carried an infant doll in her arms. “Our Jesus,” by Mrs. Dr. Graham's class, each pupil carrying a small] banner with an inscription upon it. The third piece was a song by six pupils from Mrs. emai class, entitled “Christmas Bells," Blanche Butler, Lena Taylor, Cornelia Monroe, Fan- nie Perry, Alice Matthews and Letetia Taylor. The most striking piece of the evening was by the pupils of Miss Gracie Butler’s class, entitled “Youth and Old Age.” This piece was rendered by Alice Dav Sebra Hunt, Nerissa Talbot, Sadie Diggs, Susie Perry and Maggie King, Hach girl appeared in costume suitable to the occasion. The exercises opened with the singing of ‘There is Joy in the World To- day.”” Among these present were Rev. J. G. Butler, D. D.; Charles Butler, pastor Keller Memorial Church; Dr. Graham of the pension office, Chauncy Bottsford and mother, Mrs. Uh) and daughter ef India, Mrs. Bradford, Mr. Paul, Mr. Ifft, Mrs. Slagbaugh, Rev.

Amos a silk umbrella as a token of the esteem of the members of the choir for his valuable service to the church and pastor. —_——.——_. Remembering the Pastor. The members and friends of Shiloh Bap- tist Church visited their pastor, Rev. J. A. Taylor, in three different sections yester- day.

D., aeeypendicpey gy tales Sey, | attained national renown in 1883, when he | defended Crow Dog for the murder of Spot- ted Tail. The memory of Mr. Plowman’s plucky legal fight, in which he carried that celebrated case to the United States Su- his red-skinned client when the hengman’s Doose was about to tighten around the neck of the condemned prisoner, still lives in the minds of the legal fraternity through- out the west. In speaking of the matter yesterday | Judge Plowman related an incident of the trial which has never before appeared in | public print. “After Crow Dog had been sentenced to be hanged,” said the eminent jurist, “I went to Washington to lay the case before the | Supreme Court of the United States. I in- stituted habeas corpus proceedings to se- cure his release on the question of juris- | diction. While in the nation’s capilal I was surprised to receive a telegram an- nouncing that Crow Dog had escaped from prison. I returned to the reservation after I had completed my business at Washing- ton, and then I learned for the first time the cause which prompted the famous In- ;dian to escape. It seems that he was walk- | ing in the corridor of the jail one day when a half breed told him that he would surely | pay the penalty of his crime, and that the |Supreme Court would not interfere. This caused Crow Dog some uneasiness. He was quick to act. He watched his oppor- tunity to escape and did so. That stoical Sioux, who had the reputation of being @ man with a heart of marble, deliberately struck out on foot over 200 miles of coun- jtry to the reservation. Subsequently he voluntarily returned and gave himself up, | With the expectation of going on the scaf- fold. In response to the question why he made the trip and returned so soon he re- plied that he did not want to die without seeing his sqaw and papoose once more. vents proved that he spent one day at his tepee bidding his family what he re- gardel as a last farewell, and then, with a wave of his dusky hand, he mounted a |pony on his return trip to jail from which he escaped. Crow Dog is now on the reser- ation, and at last accounts was hale and hearty. He is hitting the pipe of peace and |has no desire to wage warfare on the gov- ernment. He is a good Indian. ss —se-- Ladies From Chambers’ Journ About the beginning of the eighteenth century ladies wrote a large, round, open hand, not much unlike the Italian.

Among ladies distinguished for the beauty of their penmanship—or penwomanship—was Charlotte Bronte, who wrote a very smail, very delicate, and carefully-tinished hand.

No Good Reason Yet Advanced Why | It Should Not Be Done. From The Jenness-Miller Monthly. | In one of his essays im a book entitled “Brushwood,” the late James T.

The ratio in this Tespect of those who came under my in- | struction at Pardue University was about | the same. And, as far as my observation | extends, this ratio will hold in regard to | Women generally. As a rule, women, old and young, do not know how to handle a broom. Their right | hands only have been t Their left | hands have been neglected. When a woman | takes hold of a breom it ts with the right band near the top of the handle and the left | band toward the corn;and instead of chang- | ing and reversing them as occasion de- | mands, she always keeps them in the position. Whether she sweeps to or to the left, the position of her hands mains unchanged. And her body is ed and her muscles strained in formance of an operation that would exer- cise these organs harmoniously if the at will and were changed as demanded by the changes in the position of the sweeper.

The same can be said | concerning the training of the han |amerous other branches of women's work | that it is unnecessary to mention; and, so men. Men and wemen are. in this respect, maimed and handicapped alike. Why should euch a state of things exist? Why, in this age of manval training, should we overlook nd continue to train the right hand at the expense of the left?
