That is why it is tho only remedy with millioiisof familieH, and is everywhere esteemed highly b.V all who value good health.

Th duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in tbe museum of the collector of relics of barbarism. The pistol ought to have bir.ido it tbe pestls that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot liks bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer's sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, not a an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that the liver doea ita work thoroughly od faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are remoTed, the liver will do its daily duty. When your liver wants help, get "the pill that will," Ayer's Cathartic Pills. ( A very g.xsl home-made.. il may w evolved ty taklag a good-sized eoik and rutting it down to the siie of a Urge marble.

One of the most attractive and best beloved among the American women of our century must !e reckoned Snllie Ward, who iiisrrled IWtor Hunt, ami who was the Idol of Kentucky. She una not only beautiful, but richly en Jowd with all ti e mi st admired graces of mind end cen ter, and there aeema to have le-en a universal enthusiasm about her. Mn. F.llet. who has written so sym pathetically of American women, says i that Sallie Ward's popularity was eomewhat like that of a princess In her hereditary province, where even the bumbleat Individual could claim a sort of ownership lu ber. If a child had a pet kitten or bird, It was fondly named Ssllle Ward. When a farmer wished to apply the highest poasTble prsise ro one of his young live atock, he Willi 1 distinguish It as 'a perfect Sa.llie Ward.. - 1 But perhaps"tbi moat aUlning Jewel among all these praises tavtahed upon i her came from a little girl, whose mother was one day teaching her to say her prayers, aud to thluk on th power and greatness of the Creator.

It is a very common error of the pop ular mind to confound Ihe edni'ittloi 'with learning. The phrase "a well i educated man," or "a highly educated 'man" Is not unfrequeutly applied to 1 one who has gone through n college or I university course with success. In the I sense in which the word education is more properly used, n man may be very learned and at the suine time a very Illy educated person. A man Is not necessarily a well educated man be cause he commands the whole range of mathematics, biology, sociology mid nil other allied sciences, or la vraed In Oreek dialects, balln, prose or the verse of Horace.

No one who Is at nil familiar with child life has failed to note how much more a child can comprehend than It can express. The value of any process In teaching Is determined very largely jby the teacher who applies It. We (must have order and quietness In the I schoolroom.

Mis Clara Howard is working her way through the I niversity of Califor nia. Miss Howard refuses to be called a new woman. She does not believe in woman suffrage, nor bloomers, nor stump-speaking for women, but she docs U-lieve in a woman getting an ed ucation and a thorough one, even If she has to work for it. Miss Howard is delivering newspapers lu order to pay ber way through tbe university. She has made several attempts to complete ber education aud perfect herself in a very' ambitious line of work philoso phy. She originally entered college w itj the class of 7, coining from Iowa. Dur ing ber freshman year at the Berkeley Fnivcrsity the East Oregon govern- MISS CI. A HA HOW A till. incut land craze broke out. She, with an only brother, caught the fever and left college for Oregon, where she filed upon a timber claim, proved up ou it and homes) ended the property, living upon it with her brother while she com plied with the legal requirements. When she hail perfected the title she returned to Berkeley and entered the class of 'iiS as a special student in philosophy. She secured the Berkeley agency for n Sau Francisco paper. The route was small and not very remuner ative when she first took possession aud she lilled'tbe office of owner, carrier and solicitor. She got the papers when they arrived from San Francisco and deliv ered them at the bouses of her custo mers. She collected the bills for tbe paper herself and in the time that was left between collecting, delivering pa pers and studying Kan) she made a house-to-house canvass of the entire town of Berkeley for subscribers. The canvass was very successful, for In n short time she had secured enough ad ditional subscribers to be able to em ploy a number of small boys, who now deliver the papers, while Miss Howard does the collecting and soliciting to keep the roule up.

The Strange Accident that Befell a Whale in the Ocean's Depths, Submarine cables are usually Imbed ded in the slimy bottom of the ocean but at certain isdnts they hung like wire bridge over deep submarine val leys, no that whales and other large in habitants of the deep may beoome dan generous to the cable. Once In a while It Is the cable that becomes dangerous to the whalea, as recently shown In an ac cldeutto the western Brazilian line. There was some difficulty with the wire, aud after many futile efforts the scat of the trouble was dlncovered 70 miles north of Santa Catharlna. The cable ship Viking was sent to repair the damage, and U-gan to take up the wire, After the cable proper had lsen grap pled and whs wound to the surface on the large drums provided for the fir pose, it was found that It floated very much easier and was more buoyant than la usually the case. The reMon was discovered when In a loop of the cable tbe carcaas of a whale of more than sixty feet In length came Into view. It appears Hint the whale had become cs tight under the cable, and, not being able to lift It nor to go forward nor lack, It became suffo rated. By Ita last spasms or attempts to free Itself the whale had damaged the cable so that the Insulation was rublied off and the wire became useless.
