The man who invented pills, especial ly those of the sugar-coated sort, de serves the gratitude of mankind; for, if we must swallow physic at all, the smaller and more agreeable the dose is made the better. But, we presume, the first ingenious pill-roller must continue to remain in obscurity among the great Unknown. Not so, however, the maker of Ayer's Pills, the most famous of modern medicines. Few names are more familiar than that of Dr. J. C. Ayer, whose sugar-coated pills are man ufactured by the ton and are used all over the world. The immense popularity of Ayer's Pills is due to a happy combination of qualities: they are agreeable and easy to take, mild but thorough in operation, beneficial for a great variety of ail ments, adapted to all ages, climates, and constitutions, and their use is at tended with no ill-effects. "What more could be desired? These excellent results are secured by the combination of purely vegetable aperients, of which the essential virtues alone, and not the coarse fibre, are used in compounding Ayer's Pills. No cal omel, or any other injurious drug, en ters into their composition a recom mendation that all must appreciate, especially when in need of a domestic medicine ; for, however useful and even necessary calomel may be in certain cases, it is, without doubt, one of the most hazardous of drugs and should be taken with extreme caution. In the liver derangements peculiar to southern climates, where calomel is so often resorted to as a specific, Ayer's Pills are strongly recommended, being quite as effective as calomel, and with out its dangerous results. An intelligent Texan puts the case in a nutshell when he says: "After many years' experience with Ayer's Pills as a remedy for the large number of ail ments caused by derangements of the liver, peculiar to malarial localities, simple justice prompts me to express my high appreciation of the merits of this medicine for the class of disorders I have named." We are assured that Ayer's Pills have largely superseded the old-time reme dies for stomach and liver troubles, not only in the South and "West, but all over this country as well as in foreign lands. GOLD 1 GOOD Or, to Put It Mildly, It Has Its Faults. MR. CLEVELAND IN WASHINGTON. The Ex-Prcsidenc to Appear Before the Supreme Court To-day The Capital Exodus Bin. Harrison's Flans Editor Hatton's Health Bishop Hurst. Washington, Oct Ss7. "Do you know that gold is the most unwieldly of all the different kinds of money now in circulation?" said a prominent banker to a representative of the United Press, "Why so?" was asked. "Because it is not bankable without scrutiny. "How is that?" "Simply this take a greenback, a silver certificate, a gold certificate or a national bank note to your bank and it is received and placed to your credit without a moment's de lay. Not so with gold. A few days ago a gentleman brought to our bank upwards of $3,000 in gold of different denominations a.d was provoked be cause we would not receive it forth with and give him credit for the amount of tne faces of the coins renre- sented. This we could not do, because the law requires that gold shall be re deemed only at its actual value. Coins carried in the pocket for any length of time naturally lose something ic weight by abrasion, probably but a fractional part of a cent on a ten-dollar coir: but it is a loss, nevertheless, and therefore bankers cannot give credit for gold de posits until the coin shall hr.ve been weighed. In the case in point mv friend took his gold to the treasury de partment and was compelled to wait there nearly an hour before he could get notes for it. Every coin had to be passed through the scales, and after the weighing process had been compeleted three coins two nve-dollar pieces aad one ten-dollar piece were returned to him as short in weight. Before return ing short weight coins the department stamps on the face of each a cross. The owner is left to either send the coins to the United States mint for redemption or to again put tnem in circulation eventually tne coius with crosses on their faces will go to the mint and be redeemed at their actual value. In many instances there may not be more than several cents shortage of $50 worm or coin. .Business men, However, naturally object to the inconvenience and get rid of their gold as fast as pos sible." Grorer. Washington, Oct. 27. Since his so journ at the Arlington Hon. Grover Cleveland has had but little time to himself. The ex-president's magnetism apparently clings to him, and all nis intimate mends as well as those who are not included in that number, have taken advantage of the opportunity ro pay ineir respects, uur- ins his first day in Washington Mr. Cleveland was compelled to deny him - self, to visitors in order to arrange the case upon which he will to-day submit an argument before the supreme court ot tne United btates. bince that time he has been almost constantly engaged in receiving friends. Mr. Cleveland has little to say upon topics political. He appears to be thoroughly content in his law practice and says that lie is enjoying periect nealtn, as is also .airs, uieveiana. ur. faanaenand, the ex president's Washington pastor, was among the many persons who called .Saturday afternoon. The doctor was accompanied by Commissioner Ross JVlr. Cleveland expects to conclude his business in Washing to-dav in time to return to Hew York on a late afternoon tram. Bishop Hurst. Washington, Oct 27. Bishop Hurst, of the Methodist Eniscopal church, has reached home after having crossed the Auanuc iour times witnm as many mouths. The bishop is very enthusi astic over the proposed Methodist uni versity which is to be located near Washington. The project will be one of the most important which will be considered by the bishops at their meet ing, which begins this week. Bishop Hurst believes that the monoy for the site $100,000 will be secured during tne coming winter. Already between $45,000 and $50,000 have been sub scribed. He believes also that there will be a general inclination in the city to encourage the institution; for, while the .Methodist church will be b hind it and responsible for it, the mode of in struction will be liberal enough not to exclude students of anv denomination. Washlni;fcM Tter Preparing for Elec tion Say. Washington, Oct 27.

'SLAVERY IN MW TOBK A South Sea Island Grl Escapes froi Bondage Near the Metropolis.- DETROIT, Mich.. Oct. 27. AbOUt ft week ago there came to Detroit a col ored girl, whose appearance indicated that she was a South Sea Islander. She was scarcely-able to speak, knowing as little of the language as a 3-year-old child. From what she could tell it was understood that she had been kept in slavery on a large farm a few miles from New York, and had been sub jected to an awful course of treatment, bring whipped for every trivial offense. She finally managed to escape; and, with a large number of pennies hoarded up during her slavery, came to Detroit. She showed many marks of abuse, even her tongue being striped and swollen. Friday night while out looking for work the girl fell on the street in a fit. She was taken to the house of the people who had cared for her since her arrival here', where a physician dis covered that her body is a mass of sores and bruises, and that tho girl may die. She continually cries out, "Me want die, me want die." She calls her former master by the name of "Marse Her-burt." Inspecting the Midland. Denver, Oct. 27. President Manvel, of the Santa Fe system, will arrive here Tuesday. The object of his visit is a tour of inspection over the Mid land road, recently consolidated with the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe officials meet in Topeka on Oct. 3'), and Mr. Manvel will preside ac that meeting and make known the results of his ob servations. Tansy and Edwards Eight a Draw. Kansas City, Mo., Oct 27. Joe Tansy,- southern middle-weight, and Billy Edwards, tho Kansas City light weight, met in a glove contest for $103. They fought four rounds and it was called a draw. About fifty local sports were mucn disappointed. Solo the Wise ui Ctomm .the Klag. There lived in Athena some six hundred years before the birth of Christ a very wise and generous man nam -A Solon. He was a richmerchant as well ss a great scholar, and on account of his wisdom is consid ered as "being the most noted of the Seven Wise Men of Greece. Solon proposed good, wholesome laws, which his countrymen gladly accepted, and under which Athens enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity. There lived in Lydia, a country in Asia Minor, a very rich king named Croesus, who invited Solon to visit him. When So lon had beheld all the beauty and splendor of the palace he was asked by Croesus if ever he had known a happier man than he. The answer was, "Yes, an honest man. who had good children, and died bravely in battle for his country." The king was disappointed, and asked if he knew any other man more happy than he. Solon answered that he had known two loving brothers who were kind to their mother, and had died a tranquil death while pro viding for her. Crccsus was much dis pleased, and asked why he should not be considered happy. To which Solon replied that no mauls lifo could be judged whether it be happy or not until the end of it. C raw us was afterward conquered by Cyrxs, king of Persia, and sentenced to be burued to death. When on the funeral pyre he cried out in agony, "O Solon I O Solonl" King Cyrus asked why he called on Solon, and when Crceaus had related what Solon had said Cyrus freed Croesus anQ honored him as long as he lived. Thus Solon was the means of saving one king's life and of instructing another. School Visitor. GOOD-BY. Be kind, dear lore, and nerer say "Oood-by 1" But always when we're parting "Till to-morrow." So shall my Hps forget to frame a sigh, And Hope smile fondly in the face of Sorrow. For If, indeed, it be but little space Before our parted steps again are meeting. Twill cheat the hours to haste their lagging pace If Memory linger still on thought of greeting. Or should our feet diverge through weary days And dreary nights, the changing seasons bring ing. The flinty sharpness of our lonely ways Will somewhat smooth while thus the heart is singing. And if oh, saddest chance t God's pitying hands Should wide as life and death our paths dis sever. What dearer thought could mead the broken strands Than thus to wait until we meet forever? Mary E. Blake in Boston Pilot' Often s Boot & Shoe Stole E. We have added to our stock P.

Uricks impregnated with tar are said to be hard, durable and perfectly waternroof. The process of impregnation is extremely simple, ordinary bricks, or, still better. niRchine brick, being boiled in coal tar for twenty-four hours. Uricks thus treated ire claimed to be especially well adapted for paving workrooms, depots, etc. They art; r.lso recommended for the construction of sewers, cesspools, the insulation of foun dation walls and similar purposes. Build ers' Gazette. Microbes in Hailstones. The British Medical Journal states that Dr. Fontain, a Russian observer, has re cently demonstrated the existence in hail stones of pernicious microbes or micro scopic organisms.

The largest apple tree in New England. and probably in the world, is in the north western part of Cheshire, Conn., standing in Mr. Delos Hotchkiss' door yard. Its age can be traced by u family tradition to M0 years at least, and it may be 20 or 25 years older. It is at the present time of symmetrical shape; the trunk is nearly round, without a scar or blemish on it there are 8 large branches; 5 of them have been in the habit of bearing fruit one year and the remaining 3 the next. Mr. llotcukiss has gatuered in one yeai from tho 5 branches 85 bushels of fruit, and his predecessor had harvested a crop of 110 bushels from tho same 5 branches. By careful measurement the circumference of tho trunk 1 foot above the ground, above all enlargements of the roots, is 13 feet 8 inches. The girth of the largest sin gle limb is 6 feet 8 inches. Tho height of the tree has been carefully measured ami found to be GO feet, and the spread of the branches as the apples fall is 100 feet, or 6 rods. The fruit is rather small, sweet. and of moderate excellence. Boston Jour naL Some Odd Manuscripts. To the student of old manuscripts there is nothing astonishing about the material upon which they were written. Tho great Mohammed, tho founder of the Mussulman religion, is said to have jotted down the brilliant passages of the Koran upon the shoulder blades of sheep vliile ho was a poor herder. The Iliad was first written in characters of gold upon the great gut of a dragon, the sci oil being over 100 feet in length. As far bark tu the time f Job authors wrote upon sheets of lead. The great writers of th North wrote nil their books upon beachwood or "bog," from which our word "book" is derived. At the Strozzi Palace, in Rome, there is a book made of marble, the leaves being of ma' velous thinness. Cleanthes, the philoso pher, first inscribed his immortal work upon the white sides of blsached sea shells St. Louis Republic New Labels for Ilaggnge. The most expensive of trunks, portman teaus, etc., are soon rendered unsightly by the repeated pasting ou of labels. All this may be avoided, it appears, bv the use of an English .invention, which consists of a oase oi tougn nexioio noaru on which are i placed, ono on top of the other, twelve parchment paper labels, the whole being securely fastened together with metal clips, and an eyelet to carry the string for attachment to luggage. The frequent at tachmcnt of fresh labels is thus avoided, as tho old or directed surfaces have simply to be torn off as used, and a fresh one is always ready for roditcction until the "tablet" is exhausted. A Growing Industial Union. The Buffalo (N. Y.) Women's Educa tional and Industrial union hopes to ex tend its work. The report of the late annual meeting says: jjiore room is already required for the various depart ments. A nail must be traut on our vacant lot for lectures, coterie meetings and receptions. In the high, light base ment there must be ample room for the college of domestic training which we expect to establish. The old building must be adapted to the new, and some much needed changes must be made. It has been suggested that we set apart one large room which shall represent tho achievements of women, there to be placed, among many other things, works of art b- women and manuscripts of famous woman authors. We do not know of a room in any public building m our land consecrated entirely to the result of woman's work; the Buffalo union may set a good example. Woman artists and authors would gladly con- inouie to enricn and oeautiiy sucn a memorial to their sex. We have already one valuable cabinet of shells and min erals, given in memory of the wife of one of our well known citizens. If this dream, as it has been called, shall be come a reality, a marble bust of Julia Ward Howe is promised, the gift of a woman sculptor." Also: handle the REYNOLDS BROS.
