FOR DY8PEP8IA.
Ayor'o Saroaparilla
Is an effectiTe remedy, as numerous testimo
nials conclusively prove. "For two years
I was a constant sufferer from dyapepela
ana liver complaint. I doctored a long
time and the medicines prescribed. In nearly
every ease, only aggravated the disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayer's
Sarsaparills. I did so, and was cured
at a coat of $5. Since that time It has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. I
believe it to be the best medicine on earth."

great sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit for work. Noth
ing that I did for the complaint helped me
so much as Ayer's SarsaparUla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases." C. JCrlck, 14 K.

MOW K DEADLY INSULT WAS PAID

from Their West Point Days Of Coarse
a Ladjr Was the Cause.
An emblematic button of the Loyal
Legion adorned the lapel of a cheviot
coat worn by Maj. Oscar Bell at the
Albany.
"A story, eh?" laughed the ex-army
officer, us he detached his eyeglasses from
the bridge of his note and looked in a
roou naiurea way at uie ezpetant re-
"xjrter heated beside him.

fCive you a little incident that haa never
been in type. It happened in 1863, when
oar regiment was in camp at a little
Missouri town called L-sington. I wore
a raj. tain's strajm at that time and did
the shouting for Company B.
"The captain of Company D was named
Ilcnrj' Poor. Unknown to me he detested
me, and all because I once made a pun
on his name while at West Point. Being-
a young man of stringent means he was
mortally offended, but later seemed to
have overlooked an unintentional aally
of wit that I got off at his expense among
a group of fellow cadets.
vy eu, wnen we got our commissions
the loaded dice of fate threw us both in
the same regiment, and when the war
broke out we went to the front under the
same colonel. As I said before, our regi
inent camped at Lexington, Mo., near
Kansas City, or Westport, as it was
known in those days. Among the event
that transpired during the two weeks of
our sojourn was a grand ' ball, given at
the residence of a loyal northern woman.
for Lexington, although a Missouri town
had great respect for the Confederate
colors, and a great many of its citizens
heartily sympathized with the southern
cause. At the ball several of the officers
of our regiment were invited Poor and
myself included.
THE CHALLENGE.
"During the evening I placed my name
on the. programme of .one .of the Lexing
top 'belles, but when. J called 'for the
dance I was horrified at the discovery
that my name had been deliberately
erased and that of Poor substituted, evi
dently by himself. When' Poor and the
young lady started off amid the seductive
strains of the orchestra my blood fairly
boiled with indignation. Later in the
evening.! caught Capt. Poor in the gen
tlemen's dressing room alone. I slapped
hint roughly in; thi fic, and told him
just what I thoug'at.of him.' lie did not
resent it there, but the next day I re
ceived a challenge from him to fight a
jdael.
"I had never fought a duel, and I hesi
tated eoine- time, but rather than be ac
cused of cowardice I consented. The
matter was placed in the hands of
friends, aud one bright moonlight night
five dark figures sneaked out of the camp
and into a neighboring wood. The fifth
figure was that of a doctor of Lexington,
who had been let into the secret and con
sented to act. in consideration of a big
fee for his services. To every appear
ance the duel was to be a tragic one, al
though I thought at one time I detected
a slight smirk in the features of the sec
onds, who were mutual friends of the
determined principals.
" 'Measure off ten paces,' commanded
the doctor as he wiped a tiny stream of
Missouri nicotine from his chin whiskers.
The doctor was to act as master of cere
monies. The space was measured.
" 'Bring on the weapons,' was the
ioxt command. The seconds brought
forth an ominous looking bundle care
fully wrapped up in oilcloth. Capt. Poor
-i-uddered. I was equally nervous. Ugh!
S ::t weapons were evidently wicked sa
il, rs, and it would he a duel from which
neither princiial would emerge alive.
We took our places ten paces apart and
stood glaring at each other, patiently
wuitin; for the supposed swords to be
laced in our hands ready to pierce each
ot her's heart.
THE RESULT.
'Gentlemen, here are the weapons,'
exclaimed the doctor as two large base-
hall bats rolled out of the oilcloth. He
advanced and placed one in the hands of
oach principal. 'Mind, gentlemen, you
ire not to violate the rule to keep ten
paces apart. Are you, ready 'f
"Capt. Poor and I gazed at each other,
ilie seconds were doubled up on the
jrround in convulsions of laughter. Even
;he doctor smiled, and to cap the climax
silvery laugh from a woman's lips
broke the stillness of the air as the fair
cause of the duel Etrode on to the duel
ing ground with eyes sparkling with
nirth.
" 'Do be sensible, gentlemen, and
rhake hanCs, said she. 'There is going
to be another party next Tuesday even
ing, and I will divide my programme of
waltzes with you both if you do.'
"I looked at Poor, and wa met half
way and shook hands. Tb lndicroua
contemplation of a duel with baseball
bats at a distance of ten paces ww too
much for us. We laughed heartily after
vasting a reproachful glance at the iui '
chievous seconds who put the job up on
us."
At .nii juncture there was a rustle of
satin near the hotel elevator, and the
major arose in response to a signal from
a well preserved lady. As he left the
reporter he said,' with a sly wink of his
left eye. "I got that young lady for life,
though, and Poor is up in the Sioux
ponr.tr' now, and still a bachelor." With
these parting words he disappeart-d into
the dining room with the wife of hn ro

It should be remembered that the great

Way People Bite Their Llpe.
If yoa surprise the father of a family
stretched out at full length and trying
till he is red in the face to raise his legs
without lifting his body, yoa may knoi
he- is endeavoring to work off his super-
MBdance of avoirdupois, which inter
feres seriously with his cutting a grace
ful figure in the waltz, .which his better
half insists on dancing every chance she
gets. If you consult Mr. ' Russell ' oh
.what changes will make you better look
ing, yon will find him very blunt. He
may tell you you do not wash your face
clean, and when' you' ask how he knows
he will tell you if you did your skin
would not be disfigured with those black
pimples, or he may tell yon, as he told a
woman who recently appealed to him
for advice, that she did not eat enough,'
which fact he had reached because he
had observed how much she chewed her
lips.
So yoa see you need not' be on your
good behavior when yoa pass under his
eagle eye. But did yoa ever sit in the
ferry boat or car and watch the women,
who make the most' hideous, wry faces
in their attempts to get some nourish
ment or crumb of comfort from their
lips? . Not only the women but the men
also have this fiendish habit. Brooklyn

A Bare Kew Zealand Bird.
Or. Fristedt has brought a most inter
esting and valuable collection of birds,
3tc., from Australia, where he had many
an adventurous outing,- and from where
he proceeded to Kew Zealand. There he
iticceeded in obtaining a specimen of the
loaint and almost extinct kibi bird.
This bird is somewhat like an ostrich.
but only the size of a crow, it has no
wings at all, and is covered with fur
like short striped feathers. Another pe-
uliarUy about the kibi is the fact that
its egg is larger than one-third of its
body.
He also succeeded in bringing home
wine Maori skulls, "which are difficult to
obtain on account of the manner in
which the natives bury their dead.
When the bodies have been so long in
the ground that all the flesh' has fallen
from the skeleton they, unearth them
and carry them into the interior of the
forests, where they are deposited in nat
ural caves, which are very difficult to
find. The attempt to obtain these skulls
is attended with the greatest danger, as
any one discovered with one is certain of
being instantly killed. Galignani's Mes

Ailments of Horses.
Almost any liveryman is, in his way.
a horse doctor. lie practices on his own
stock, and will prescribe simple remedies
for a sick horse that is brought to him.
but in any case he deems serious will al- i
ways advise calling in a regular veteri
nary surgeon rather than to undertake
the treatment himself. All sorts of sur
gical operations are undertaken for the
relief of horses, and there are ono or two
men in the city who are specially skilled
in the treatment of diseased teeth
Horses have the toothache just like men
do and from the same causes, and pull
ing a tooth is now a common thing in
veterinary surgery. Of course the horse
kicks, for his teeth have long and strong
roots, but the operation frequently saves
the life of a valuable animal. Interview
in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Cheap Feel.
Among the latest attempted solutions
of the cheap fuel problem is the methoa
of a German inventor, who proposes to
manufacture gas by dropping a stream
of crude petroleum through a blast of
cold air from a force pump. The gas
thus obtained will be confined in a regu
'ar cylinder open at one end, where it
will be lighted. This produces an in
tensely hot flame of several feet in
length. By means of this flame the in
ventor proposes to heat boilers, and he
maintains that the heating of large
blocks can thus be reduced very consid
erably. Xew York Telegram.
Revolvers la Sight.
The policemen of Savannah carry re
volvers strapped to their belts iu plain
sight. They are armed with short clubs
s well. They cannot unlirabtr their
shooting irons any quicker than a New
York policeman, who usually carries his
in his hip pocket, can do it; but with
most of the offenders the sight of a
weapon in itself has a salutary effect on
many of them. New York Sun.
There is no department of British mer
cantile industry which has developed
with such marvelous rapidity as the pe
'roleum trade. Since its beginning in
i 859, when the total importations were
about 2.000,000 gallons, it has increased
by leaps and bounds until, in 1889. the
amount brought into the United King
