Persons who can arrest the suffer from Indigestion progress of that painnn malady by the use of an after-dinner pill, so composed that it will frive tone to the stomach, prevent heartburn, rouse the liver to healthful action, invigorate the kidneys, and thus, through the activity of these organs, promote the natural movement of the stomach and bowels. Ayer's Pills are bo compounded that their action, though mild, effectually pro duces the above results. They also, In curing Constipation, remove the cause of Biliousness. iJlver Complaint, Kidney Dis ease, Rheumatism, and many other serious ailments. AYER'S PILLS contain no mineral nor poisonous sub stance, and do not pripe unless the bowels are irritated, and even then their influence is healing. To continue their effect in constipated or chronic cases, they need only be taken in diminishing instead of increasing doses. For seamen, and In habitants or travelers iu sparsely settled countries where physicians arc not at hand, they are of inestimable value. There is hardly a sickness they will not alleviate, and in most cases cure, if taken promptly. To young girls Just entering upon womanhood, and to women whose period of maternity is drawing to a close, Ayer's Pills, In moderate doses, merely sufficient to ensure regular action of the - bowels, will be found of i Incalculable Value. PREPARED by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mams. Sold by all Druggists. -- Rheumatism and Neuralgia Cured in 2 Days.

Glancing over the reports as they con: la Lere every day from the diireivnt diktricU, it trikes me very often that everything teems to run in streaks. In the past three weeks tlittre hare been four or Ave cases of criminal a-ssault following each other; then Kiiniiltanc ously wo had two or three cast of incest on hand at once. There have been three jicr ona murdered with stones in two weeks. Two men, friends and neighbors, have committed suicide, ono emulating the other in everything except making a better job of it. Suicides always follow tuch other that way. Let one person take a dose of rat poison, and it seems that there were two or three people just wait ing for some one else to lead oir and they go yGt by the same route. It's the same with all affrays. Rome nights there will bo in different put ts of the city three or four stubbing or shooting affrays, and then there wci't lie a thing for two or three days, ierhas. Some morning, look ing over the reports of arrests, you'd think tho whole town was out on a drunk the night before, and then again there nro not more than three or four hero and there in the dis tricts. There were for two days recently not less than six cray people picked up iu the Central district It looks to mo as if nt differ ent times there's something in the utmosphere that inclines men in a particular manner to do certain things. Chief of Police in Globe Democrat The Government Taxidermist's lluiiulo. ilr. Ilornaday, tho government taxider mist, has a herd of queer looking buffaloes iu his studio in tho old armory building devoted to tho fi--.li commission. They are the hulks or insides on which tho hides aro to bo stretched. Mr. Ilornaday does not use tho skeletons of tho animals hi mounting them, but makes up wooden ones. The whole herd, when done, will bo mounted iu, the National museum, and tho poor, old, moth eaten effigies now on exhibition will lo burned. As soon as Mr. Ilornaday finishes the bull buffalo, on which he will expend tho greatest pains, it will bo placed out in the Smithsoniun grounds, where earth and background will resemble as much as possible the animal's native plains, aud tho taxidermist, rigge J up in cowboy hat, leggings and hunting shirt, mounted on kii broncho, cinched and loaded exactly as he was in Montana, will go through tho panto mime of shooting the old beast again. During the performance several instantaneous photo graphs of the piece will bo taken. This bull is the finest buffalo Mr. Ilornaday secured while out on his official hunt. Ho was tho lust one seen, and his captor rodo up along side and had opportunity to study the nob'e animal for several minutes before shooting him. Mr. Ilornaday even dismounted and sketched the old fellow. This has been of great advantage in stuffing and mounting liim. Washington Cor. Now York Sun. A Ueview of Troops on Ilicycles. Oen. Boulanger has just boon holding a cav alry review of a novel kind. A score of cor poruls from tho Joinville training school went through their evolutions before him a day or two ago mounted on magnificent veloci pedes, Tho comiosition of tho little troop resembled that of tho regular mounted force of the country; tho bicyclists representing the light, tho tricyclists tho heavy cavalry. The minister has decided to have a certain proiwrtion of the men in the infantry regi ments trained to tho use of the velocipede, tho utility of these machines for the transmis sion of orders and the interchange of com munications between the different divisions of an army having been satisfactorily estab lished in practice. Their employment will, for one thing, leave all tho Horses of the force available for the work in which their services are indispensable. The bicycle has been found to give better results on the whole than the tricycle, and it is probable that some form of the two wheeled machine will be definitely adopted for general use. St. James' Gazette. A Memento of Heeclier. No more curious memento of Beecher ex ists than that owned by Edison, the inventor of tho phonograph. That instrument for im pressing on a soft metal sheet tho utterances of the human voice, and then emitting it again by the turning of a crank, could never be put to any very valuable use, and Edison has only gained from it a few thousand dol lars in royalties from exhibitors. But he utilized it to make a collection of famous voices. Since he became famous his visitors have included hundreds of celebrities. In stead of asking them for their autographs or photographs he has in two or three hundred instances requested them to speak a few sentences into a phonograph. He has kept tho plates in a cabinet, and occasionally he runs some of them through the machine, which sends out the words exactly as uttered. Edison is probably the only man who can re vive tho silenced voieo of the great preacher. New York Cor. Chicago Herald. The Panama Canal. W. II. Greenhalgh, of Aspinwall, is in Philadelphia, and says concerning tho Pan ama canal: "I went over tho route of the canal two weeks ago, and I found M. de Lesseps' hopes of completing the work in three years not only improbable but impos sible, lie says in the interview that in three years vessels will bo able to pass through the canal as easily as they now go through the Suez canal. The truth of tho matter is that only fifteen miles of the canal have been cut out. Thirty miles still remain, part of which is a hill and a mile of which is of solid rock. They have already spent $200,0SJ0,0O0 on it, and the work at present is almost at a stand still. "-Chicago Tribune. A l'ocket Full of Fish. Hooks. A talented professor asserts that the "light fingered gentry" are continually found to have been left handed from infancy. He has ascertained this interesting fact by walking about shy neighborhoods with an assortment of fish hooks of all sizes fixed iu his pockets. An absent minded friend of ours tried this "cly faker" trap once once only. In his for getful way he put his bund into a pocket to draw out his cigar case. Wo took him to an excellent surgeon, who managed to get his digits into something like shape after three months' careful treatment The bill was moderate only about 50. London J ud. Paris' Proposed Great Tower. The proposed great tower for the exhibition of 1SSU in Paris is not favored by French au thors and artists. As it is to le twice as high as the tower of Rouen cathedral, they say it will overlook the city "like a black factory chimney. It will dwarf everything, while it will compel all eyes to gaze upon it. "A hateful column of bolted sheet iron" will hu miliate the finest monument of Paris. These and many other equally strong characteriza tions are made in a protest signed by the most distinguished literary men of France. They Throttled Satan. At a recent masquerade in Portland, Ore., a number of the maskers, who bad attracted attention from their dress and antics, which were those of the Salvation Army, formed a circle in the middle of tho floor, and then a tall, athletic 3-oung man, who personated Satan, burst into the ring and tried to break it up. The Army rose as a man, throttled Satan, threw him down and wiped the flooi with him. New York Sun. February Weather Report. Weepino Water, March 31, 1&37.

The saying that "snow u the poor man's manna," is true in the spring of the year. This last snow, on the 27th, was more bencfical to the grass and small grain sown than if so much rain fell. Erroneous Notions. Whatever the wcatlrer is on the first three days of any season, suy this spring, will determine what the weather will be for the next three months of the season, is notional all moonshine. The paying "Coming in like a a Lamb, going out a Lion," goes to show that in such folks' imagination they imagine real lambs and lions which determine the weather. Superstitiou isn't dead yet. There is no reason in it. Any three days of the mid dle month is as servicable to say, as to say the first three days of the month. The weather will be just what it will be; no man knows contrary. It may be what it was on the first three days. Weather Reporter Bargain in Music.
