They promote the natural peristaltic motion of the bowels, without which there can be no regular, healthy operations. For the cure of consti pation, biliousness, jaundice, ver tigo, sick headache, indigestion, sour stomach, and drowsiness, Ayer's Pills are unsurpassed. They are equally beneficial in rheumatism, neuralgia, colds, chills, and fevers. Being purely vegetable, delicately sugar coated, and quickly dissolved, they are admirably adapted for household use, as well as for travelers by laid or sea.

As t this time of year many honsa- leepers are thinking of getting new car pets they may find some useful hints in ;he following; It is only a short time lince it was -hard to purchase a carpet that would stand dirt and wear, but for ronately the style of carpets has changed, ind now the better grades of carpets :omo in soft, rich colors that are as serv iceable as they are handsome. The cheap- sst as well as coolest floor covering is a waatting. It can be bought as low asioa roll 40 yards in a roll but such mat ting scarcely pays for putting down, un less it is to be covered with rugs and is used merely a3 a background. Avery substantial matting, with cotton chain, can be had from $14.50 up. Probably no carpet that is intended to stand hard wear is more satisfactory than body brussels. Those of this season come in oft, rich colors and oriental rug patterns that are very effective. A good body brussels can be had for $1.23 a yard. Tho very best are but 10 cents a yard more. Body brussels in these small patterns is peculiarly suitable for halls and bed rooms. JMoquettes come in exquisite shades and patterns, but they arc usually not a satisfactory carpet to buy. As a rule they fade very rapidly. One season usually finishes a moquette's beauty. An extra quality of velvet can be had for a little more than a moquette, but which will far outwear it. These velvets como in the same patterns and colors as the wiltons and axnunsters. These last two carpets are the best made, and they will wear as long as one wants a carpet to wear. They haye a soft, thick pile an( cost from 1.50 to $2.50 a yard. New York Letter.- Losier, the president cf Sorosis, has been riving a series of at homes at her rest- ience in New York. At the last she was assisted by Mis. Lena Sittig and Mrs. Henry Firth Wood, who announced the programme and gave several recitations, rhe paper of the afternoon was given by Mrs. Emily D. Beery, a prominent mem ber f several Shakespearean clubs her subject being, "Songs of Shakespeare." rhe literary portion was pleasantly in- erspersed by music. Brooklyn Eagle. all the others in turn. The effect is just as if someunseen hands, guided by Intelligence and purpose, were moving the big pencil and writing the characters literally in letters of -fire As soon as the pencil has completed its -task it takes the back track, retraces the lines of the letters one after another, extinguish ing lamp after lamp in its 'progress. t The two movements 'together give a -perfect illusion of the writing of letters in vivid lines and then rubbing them out again. But it is only an illusion. The pencil, as a matter of fact, has nothing whatever to do with the lighting or extinguishing 01 tne lamps. Unst is only a part of the theatrical effect designed to deceive the onlooker. It does so most successfullv. In practice the lamps are lighted and ex tinguished by means of an automatic switch a contrivance by which tha cur rent Is turned on one lamp and then an other in the series as regularly as tooth after tooth in the escapement wheel of a watch is brought into play, and on much the same principle. It is a very ingenious device. Turning on and off the current by means of a revolving cylinder whose' ne- riphery carries a series of contacts, is sim ple enough. The complicated part of the macbino is the oscillating pencil, and this is mechanical. By arranging the base of a rod or pencil between a series of rollers of uneven surface which are in motion a certain orbit of movement is given to the free end; and in this case the rolls are so arranged as to make the orbit correspond to the lines of the desired letters;' TheJ cylinders are automaticallyHrevera'SfSt. a1 certain point, and this causes the pencil to retrace tho lines which it has seemingly drawn. so more successful device than this is to be found in the spectacular part of tho electrical show. Another very Interesting illustration of what may be done with electricity is shown near by, and it has the immense ad vantage of being useful as well as pretty. Near the center of the Electricity building stands a steel mast about forty or fifty reet nign. iiung upon it, at different hights, are four powerful electric lamps. First they are all white, then all green or red. Now one of them only Is white, or only one is red. in a lew seconds two may be red ana two green, or three green and one red. The number of chancres which may be made with four positions and four colors is very great, as we see by watching the combinations which arc shown on this staff in rapid succession. TVeare puzzled to know what all this is done for what useful purpose it serves, and we press for ward to investigate. Attno-uase or. tne stcei poio stands a young man with a box on a table by his side. The box Is about as big as a cheese box, and its top is o glass, and eubdivideu into small parts similar to the keys of a piano or organ, .hacli Key is marked with a letter of the alphabet, or with two or three letters in combination. A little crank runs over tho dial-plate, and we no tice that when the man in charge moves tho crank to cover one of the characters he Jresseson a key and forces a little pin own upon that piece of ivory. The effect is instantly to change the location of the colors on the staff. Now we understand it. The attendant in charge offers explanations, but the de vice is so simple that explanations are really superfluous. This box is simply a switchboard. The characters on the keys are the naval signal-code. The steel mast corresponds to the foremast of a man-of- war, where the signals are displayed. When the attendant places the crank or switch at the key reading "JA," for in stance (if my memory fails to give me the correct letters it doesn't matter, for the principle of operation iswhatwoareafter),a green light shows at the top, next below it a red, third a blue and at the bottom white. The meaning of this signal is "We are about to send a boat to you with dis patches." By a simple touch of his finger the man in charge of the signal box' has uttered all this in unmistakable letters of fire, to be read several miles away, if needs be, by the officer who. stands glass in hand watching for signals. The operation of this method of night signaling on shipboard is so rapid and simple that an extended conversation can now be carried on in the time which was necessarily devoted to the expression of a single code sentence under the old plan' of running up and hauling down lights: Thus we see that electricity is in more ways than one a boon on shipboard. Not only does it work the signals, illuminate the interior of the ship and fill the search lights with a powerful radiance which dis closes the presence of any craft for a mile around, but it is used to strengthen the magnets of the compass on steel ships and to propel forms of torpedoes against the enemy who dares approach within strik ing distance. The uses of electricity in this electrical age are marvelously varied. In one corner of the big building wo see the exhibits of the electrical forging companies. One of them is able to take a piece of steel six inches in diameter and fuse and weld it by the heat of electricity. Of course smaller- pieces are handled with great ease in the fierce heat which comes from high pres sure of the electric current. Cooking by electricity Is one of the new est things, and it'is making'quite a sensa tion in the Electrical building. In the north end of the gallery a western firm ex hibits a complete lino of cooking utensils for use with electricity as the heat. Here Is the baking oven, for instance. It is of ordinary size, lined with asbestos and also with bright tin. There are rcslstancfj plates on the bottom and top of tho oven, and a switch so arranged that two tem peratures' may be obtained, one for quick bilking end the other for slow. A small glass door in each oven enables the opera tor to watch the process of baking and to regulate the current accordingly. The manufacturers of these, ovens say it re quires from twelve to fifteen minutes to heat the oven to a temperature of 250 de grees Fahrenheit, and that then the cur rent mny be turned off and the baking continued. Electric pancake griddles aro coming into use in restaurants and hotels. They are just the thing for those restaurants which make their griddle cakes in their show windows as an advertisement of their business. The electric griddle is neat, clean and quick, making no smoke oi bother. Broilers are shown in variety. Turn the switch on a cold broiler and in about three ' minutes it is hot enough for the meat. In two minutes more your steak is nlcelj broiled. Perhaps cooking- will become fashionable when it maybe done bv sim ply pressing the button. like to work in her kitchen when she may have nickle-plated electric baking ovens, broilers, griddles, tea kettles, stew pans, chafing dishes, coffee pots, skillets! Electricity is a pretty good 'domestic ser vant already, and it has only begun opera THE MAGIC PENCIL. Hons in the household field. It lights and heats the house, cooks the meals, carries messages from one part of the premises to another, runs the sewing machine and the clothes wringer. In about a year more they will have appliances by which it may be nsed for rocking the baby to sleep, cur rying and brushing horses, sweeping floors, hoeing in the garden and washing carriages. Already my lady may curl her bangs with electrical tongs. For a couple of dol lars she may buy a little nickle-plated stand about three by four inches, two inches high, trimmed with silk cord and furnished with two sizes of curling irons, large and small. The heat of tho tongs is under perfect control of the user, and the whole apparatus may be easily carried in one compartment of a small traveling satchel. What a boon this should be to the woman who worries herself sick while traveling because her bangs are becoming unfrizzled and straightening out in long, awkward shreds. At any time she pleases sbo may turn on the cur rent in the little electric heater, warm up her small-sized tongs and give the recal citrant bangs a twist or two right before the eyes of the passengers, and probably not one of them would know what she was doing. There are many other novel uses of elec tricity. Suppose a gentleman is very par ticular about his silk hat. Ho insists that it must always shine with that glossy lus tre which can only bo given it by tho heat of the hatter's polishing iron. It is im possible to go to a hatter every hour or two, particularly while traveling. In lieu of that our dainty man supplies himself with a little electric hat polisher. He can carry it in his overcoat pocket if he likes and take It out at every street corner and give the nape of his silk hat a few deft. smoothing touches. Heavier irons of the same stylo are made for use in hat stores and in laundries for polishing shirt fronts. All kinds of press ing irons aro in the market. Tailors' goose irons weigh from twelve to twenty- nve pounds, ana will neat ready for use in about two minutes. Sad-irons for laundry and domestic use aro offered in three or four sizes. No longer need the housewife build a roaring fire in tho kitchen stove on a hot summer day merely for thesakoof heating her sad-irons. All sho has to do in this day and generation is to take her sad-iron down from tho shelf and press a button. In two minutes it is hot enough for business. Moreover, it will remain at a uniform temperature. No running back and forth to the hot stove, changing irons, burning one's fingers, making the face red and losing the temper. With electrical sad-irons ironing will become a delicht and even the eldest daughter may be inj duced to take some interest in the house hold laundry operations. The chief difficulty about all these de. vices for cooking by electricity and tho ap plications of the subtlo fluid to household and light, manufacturing purposes is the cost. It is a rather expensive luxury. For those who can afford it electrical cookinsr and electrical curling irons, gluo pots, sealing wax heaters and all that sort of thing are neat and elegant. Nor should anyonosay that because just now thev aro rather tooicxpensive for the masses of the people this is a condition likely to continue for.some time. In the electrical field progress travels by limited express trains and within a twelve-month Edison or some of the thousands of other students of the magic current may find a method of producing electricity at one-half or one quarter its present cost. It looks as if electricity will not stop till it has pervaded all the arts and industries. Robert Graves. Scene In the Alps by Electricity. The Electric Scenic theater on the Mid way plaisance is now open to the public Jn this building is graphically shown what surprising results can be obtained by the use of electricity. The theater Is a great educator and entertainer, and its novelty is one of its recommendations. At thi commencement of tho performance the auditorium is darknened and on the stage, dimply lighted, appears a Swiss scene in the morning among tho Alps. The moun tain gorges and peaks glow with rod sun light. By manipulating numerous kevs the conductor produces the lights and shades, which makes the scene one of splendor. Countless stars appear in the blue dome and twinkle like real stars. In time the morning gives place to afternoon, and a thunderstorm which is very realistic appears. After a while the storm ceases and the clouds are dispelled. Then the moon rises and there is darkness in the valleys and moonlight on the mountain tons. Ms Davis Recalls an Experience of One mt the Hoys la Bis Native Village. Abe's a growin boy now, an I reckon Td better cut this suit o' clothes good an large to allow for his fillin out an lengthenin," remarked Mrs. Davis brisk ly as sho stood, shears in hand, in front of the dining room table on which the cloth for Abe's new suit was spread out. Abe looked wistfully at his father. "Well now, Marthy," said. Mr. Davis mildly to his energetic helpmate, "I dunno's I'd cut it to much more'n fit Abe ef I wa3 yon. Boys are pooty hard on their clothes anyway, an I cal'late by the time Abe has growed too tight to be conif table into that suit it'll be about wore out." Mrs. Davis looked doubtfully at her husband. He had not a reputation for great liberality, yet hero he was advo cating a plan which was almost certain to result in "a year's waste of good cloth," for Abo had no younger brother to take his outgrown clothes. "Yo see," began Mr. Davis again, feel ing that he was the. object of embarrass ing scrutiny from his thrifty spouse, "I alius ree'lect a boy that was raised in Enderville, not fur from where we lived, till I was well inter my teens. "His mother made it a practice to 'al low' on that boy's clothes the whole 'durin time, an it was a dretfnl trial to him, I can tell ye. I I knew him pooty well, bein raised in- tho same town, ye see. "He was a kind of a 'pindlin, lanky boy, an wouldn't hev looked extry good, anyway, but his clothes alius hung ofFn him, jest as ef he'd ben left out in the rain sometime an hed shrunk. "His mother wa'n't a master hand at cuttin anyway not anywheres near as good as you bo, Marthy," said Mr. Davis, feeling that here was an opportunity for a handsome compliment, which was re ceived with an air of conscious worth by his wife, "an it was a sorrerful sight to see that boy! "He never caught up to the size of his garmints, to my knowledge; never! An other boys used to poke fun at him con sid'blc boys whosa mothers wasn't quite so forehanded in their idees and cuttin. "An I ree'lect my father's once sayin to me, referrin to that boy an the way he looked, that ho viewed it 'more things was cp'iled allowin than was ever' wast ed makin a good fit.'

RELIGIOUS SOLUTION OF THE SOUTHERN NEGRO PROBLEM. .Pimples -AND- Saefc, It Is SafgMted, May the teaching f Mohammed Webb Prove SoaaetHlag A Wat fhm BellcioBS ef Otber Twilii Xaddhlaaa and HiBdooIsm. Avery amiable and lovable man, Mr. Mohammed Webb, is in this country .looking over the field to decide whether or not the United States is s promising, field for the exploiting of the Moham medan faith. He does not undertake to make proselytes to his religion without giving the faiths already in the field fair notice of his probable intentions. This is certainly reasonable, though it is more than we of the Christian churches do when we send missionaries to India and Central Asia. The Mohammedan reli gion has probably 133,000,000 believers and has many very charming features. There are objections to it likewise that we shall not attempt to defend. It is true that in our highly civilized land we do not prohibit a man from marrying four or five times, but we insist that he shall havo been legally released from previous matrimonial obligations. The religion of Islam, mindful of the uncer tainties of life and the vagaries of human happiness, winks at polygamy, while it does not enjoin it. To employ the simile synthetically, we drive tandem, while the Mohammedan harnesses up four or more in hand. Among the features that ought to com mend Mohammedanism to a large pro portion of oar citizens is its stanch de votion to absention from strong drink. Belief in God is admitted and enjoined. As in Buddhism, kindness to all animals is commanded. Its conception of pur gatory is picturesque, for good and bad souls alike have to cross the bridge Al Sirat, that spans hell and is described as finer than a hair and sharper than the edge of ft sword. Many a believing Christian will take considerable comfort in the thought that the Mohammedan finds it quite as difficult to attain the kingdom of heaven as does he. Predes tination was a cardinal doctrine of the prophet, but we Christians have been wont to ascribe its promulgation to tho political motivo of rendering his follow ers contemptuous of danger and suffer ing. The Mohammedan religion is simple enough and is divided into faith and practice the latter including prayer, almsgiving, fasting and a pilgrimage to Mecca. Taken by and large, it is a thor oughly practical religion for the races who lead nomadic lives, and one pre eminently calculated for propagation at the sword's point.

"Why should he caro if people know that the prettiest, sweetest girls on the avenue begin their letters to him in rather a familiar style and end them in a manner even more so? So it happens that ho often leaves specimens of his cor respondence lying about in a way that would surprise and grieve their fair and trusting writers.

Well, last eveninir in stead of lighting his ciirar the moment ne leic tno table, be walked into the An Exalted Idea of One's Native City. Philadelphians have an exalted idea of their city, but not many of them go to tho extreino reached by a little daughter ot one of the residents. She has been duly instructed in Biblical lore and regu larly attends tho Sunday school connect ed with an up town church. She had been very much interested in the movements of the comet and tho possible result if it were to strike the earth in its erratic wanderiugs. One evening, after having asked many questions regarding tho heav enly stranger, sho inquired with all a back to 622 A. D., while Buddhism is probably of 1,200 years earlier origin and Hindooism 600 years earlier still. There is just one field in this country for the introduction of tho simple and trusting faiths of the east, and that is the great negro population of tho south. The hearts of tho lowest types of the col ored races aro receptive and naturally religious, and any faith new to them that will supplant Yoodooism ought to be welcomed by the stanchest Christian. There aro today 1,500,000 of believers in that strango and disgusting mysticism. The southern negro must havo a re ligion of pure credulity, with plenty of rewards and tho mildest possible punish ments. Buddhism, whoso adherents to day number more than one-third of thy human race, might suit him did it only promise a heaven or some equally at tractive future abiding place. But it offers nothing better than extinction: no God, no soul, no hope save annihila tion! It is a dream of peace of eternal sleep, Nirvana coming to the believer liko the snuffing out of a taper. Bud dhism never has been areligionof fanati cism, but has always been charitable and tolerant. If the millions of negroes in tho gulf states, who are today in the grossest in tellectual and moral ignorance, could have formulated for their use a new creed uniting some of the beautiful teachings of Gautama and Mohammed, they might be guided in the direction of purer and nobler lives. Christianity could come later if they felt the need of it, but we do not beb'eve that any man or woman who knows the facts regard ing the class to which we refer will deny that Mohammedanism or Buddhism, properly introduced and preached, would advance ifhe condition of that part of tho negro race. Great schools like the Van derbilt and Lincoln universities and the institution at Baleigh do not reach the ricefields of Georgia, the cotton planta tions of South Carolina or tho swamps of Mississippi and Louisiana. Here-are great missionary fields, and, without prejudice, they can bo honestly recommended to tho advance guard of the beneficent missionary hosts that may bo expected to flock to this country if a Mohammedan or Buddhist propaganda be decided upon.

Philadelphia Times. Two Convicted Criminals. An excellent illustration has been af forded us which women would do well to reflect upon. George Barker James Cooper was on Monday found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 10 j-ears penal servitude for having stabbed his wife with a penknife, thereby caus ing her death. It was shown that he systematically ill used her to tho point of thrashing her and blackening her eyes. He was besides proved in court to have been a faithless husband. Not many years ago it was proved that Mrs. Maybrick, a faithless wife, had poi soned her husband. Sentence twenty years' inal servitude. Many persona still consider that nothing of the kind was proved. They regard it as doubtful that James Maybrick died of arsenic poisoning at all. Bnt even assuming Florence Maybrick's guilt, why the dif ference in the sentences? It iB alleged that tho fact that Mrs. Maybrick was a faithless wife told heavily against her in the minds of tho jurymen, but the fact that George Cooper was a faithless hus band had no appreciable weight with the jury who measured his guilt.
