XVhcn Dr. Aver announced his Sarsapa- rillato' the world , he at once found the physicia&t his friends. Such a remedy was what they hnd looked for , and they were prompt to appreciate its merits nud \ prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine known as a patent medicine is so generally ad ministered and prescribed by physicians as Dr Ayer's Sarsaparilla for blood diseases , and dis-ascs of the skin that indicate a tainted condition of the blood. Experience has proved it to be a spcciSc in such diseases , and sores of long standing , old ulcers , chronic rheumatism , and many other like forms of disease have yielded to thepcrscveringuseof Dr. AVer's barsapar- illa after other medicines had utterly failed. flic testimonials received from physicians to the value of this remedy would fill a volume. Here is one leaf signed by Rich'd II. Lawrence , M. D. , Baltimore , Md. "It affords me pleasure to bear testimony to the success which your preparation of Sarsaparilla has had in the treatment of cutaneous and other diseases arising from a vitiated condition of the blood. Were it necessary , I might give you the names of at least fifty individuals who have been cured of long-standing complaints simply by the administration of Dr. Ayer's Sarsa- pa-rilla.

The frank testimony of a famous physician. afflicted with the rheumatism for three years , and had taken as she hod informed me , more than one hundred dollars' worth of medicine to obtain relief , yet without ur.v beneficial result. I advised her to try a bottle of Dr. Ayer's Sursapanlla aad told her that if it failed to do her goad , I would refund the money. A short time after ward , I learned that it had cured her , and a neighbor of hers similarly afEictcd was also entirely relieved of his ccmplaint by its use. This is the universal result of the administration of vour Saisaparilla. It is without exception , the best blood puri fier with which I am acquainted. " There is no other similar medicine can show a similar record. Others have imi tated the remedy. They can't imitate the record. Dr. Aver's Sarsapanlla has the friendship of the physician and the favor of the family , because it cures. It fulfills all promises made for it. It has healed thousands of people of the most malignant diseases that can mutilate mankind. Nothing has ever superccded it ana noiji- inp ever will until a medicine is made that can show a record of cures greater in number and equal in wonder to thee wrought by Dr. Ayer's Sarsapanlla.

RtJmnlatitifr Invention. That the Trans-Mississippi exposi tion at Omaha will stimulate invention in Nebraska and surrounding states cannot be doubted. That there is need of it as a means of promoting inven tion and manufacturing in the west is evidenced by the fact tbat only one patent was issued to Nebraska last week and only six to Iowa , while at the same time Massachusetts received 25 , Ohio 29 , and Pennsylvania 54. Among the most recant applications for patents we have fiied com plete at Washington for western inventors are the following : An attachment for steam engines to increase the velocity of steam.

Did you know , ciniu , E you have just fif teen minutes to dress in before the dinner-bell rings ? " She had donned her prettiest cos- tumc and brightest smiles in honor of the eew arrival , Guy Edgerton. How my beautiful sister would have wondered could she have known that this same new arrival was the hero of my dreams. I will tell you how he came to perform so important a part in them. We at home home always made it a practice to celebrate the birthdays with a fete. Five years ago , when it lacked but two weeks of my sister's eight eenth birthday , my mother died. We mourned her loss deeply ; but Kate , for her oath's sake , given in the ehape of enameled invitation cards , would not give up her usual party. "Oh , Kate , " I pleaded , "please don't have it ! " "You don't know what you are say ing , child. I can not change my plans after the Invitations are issued , and father thinks it is bet. " And so it ended. The party came off , I protesting I would not appear in the drawing-room ; and I did not. But , sit ting alone on the balcony , watched.the forms flit to and fro in the brilliant drawing-room. I was crying bitterly , when a firm step sounded beside me , and , looking up , I met the gaze of Guy Edgerton , my sister Katie's ardent admirer. "Why do you not join the company. Miss Howard ? " He bent forward and looked in my face. "What , in tears , little one ! " At this I cried harder than ever. " ' what grieves "Won't you tell me you ? " At this I told him all. How it seem ed to me sacrilegious so to treat my mother's memory. He said nothing , only smoothed my hair tenderly until I ceased weeping. As I looked up he said : "Little Mattie , I am going , away to morrow going to Europe. Will you kiss me good-bye ? " I was only 15 , so I raised my head and kissed him. "Thank you , little one ; and when I come back will you give me a kiss of welcome ? I have no mother , no sister , Mattie. No one to welcome me back. Will you ? " "Yes , sir , " I sobbed. He said "Thank you" again , and then left me. For five years I had heard nothing from him , and now he had returned. This is what I had been dreaming about this pleasant morning. The dinner bell roused me from my reverie , and hastily donning my , pret tiest blue muslin , I sought the dining- room. As I entered my father presented mete tc Mr. Edgerton. "My little daughter , Mattie. " "I think we are already acquainted , " . he said , and then passed on. For two weeks every girl at the KISSED HIM. muse < , save myself , tried their fascina- ions upon him , but to no avail. "What a pity ! " sighed Flo Archer , 'that 1 his uptown mansion and huge > ank stock have no mistress. " But her sighs were in vain. The ast of Mr. ' . morning Edgerton's stay y he subject of conversation turned up- m kissing. Mr. Edgerton , sitting by , lid not join in the conversation. Pretty rio Archer saucily demanded Mr. Ed- jerton's opinion. "Now , really , Mr. Edgerton , don't 'ou like to attend forfeit parties ? " "No , Miss Archer , I do not , I think kiss obtained by compulsion no kiss it all. " n "Fie ! We shall get up a party on mrpose to test you. We believe you f vould assist. " "I certainly should not. " "Why , Mr. Edgerton ! You shall do S1 enance < for that speech. " "You are to tell what lady you kissed ast. " u "That would not do , as the lady is iresent , and would be the sufferer , is ather than myself. " "Well , then , you may tell how long is since you kissed her. " "Will you promise not to doubt my rord ? " "Oh , certainly. " "Then , Miss Layton , I have kissed 10 lady for the space of five years. " "Oh , Guy is probably faithful to sonic air lady who favored him then , " sug- ested Ned Archer. "Exactly so , Ned , " and he passed meet his valet , who came with let- ers. ers.My My cheeks were burning , and I arose nd fled to my room. Here Kate burst upon me. "Her you are , " she said , merrily , "I lave been out bunting for you. We .ave made-up a party to ride out to the Shaker settlement and take dinner and return by moonlight. Won't it be fun , and don't you want to go ? " "No , I guess I had rather stay at home and have a quiet day of it. " "What a little old maid you r.re ! Well , you needn't go unless you want to ! " and she was off. I watched them drive away. Then I took my sewing and ensconcd myself in a baby window In the quiet , cool parlor. Scarcely had I seated myself when some one entered the room , repeating those lines of Leigh Hunt's little bal lad : "Say I'm weary say I'm sad , Say that health and wealth have missed me ; Say I'm growing old. but add Jennie kissed me ! " My heart gave a great bound , for I recognized Guy Edgerton's voice. Not knowing I was there , he came to the very window where I waa sit ting. ting.He He drew back the curtain and looked in upon me. "Why , Mattie , you here ! I thought you were out with the riding party. How cozy you look here. May I sit down beside you ? " "Yes , sir , " I answered frankly. His dark eyes searched my face for a moment , then he said : "I am going away tomorrow , little one ; will you redeem your promise be fore I go ? I have carried the kiss you gave me last through all my travels , darling , and have brought it back to you pure as you gave it. Will you kiss jnep.nd be my wife ? " I kissed him. Boston Herald. PAPER-MAKING MACHINERY. Big Swedish Concern Orders Its Equip ment In America. From the Philadelphia Record : American paper-making machinery has scored another victory , the Stora Kop- perberg Aktiebolag having ordered two American-made Fourdrinier machines , 107 and 127 inches wide , and weighing respectively 450,000 and 600,009 pounds. The Swedish company , which has for 400 years been engaged in mining cop per , which also owns Eome of the larg est saw mills in the world , decided re cently to go into paper manuiacturiiil and purchased the great macliinery hall of the Stockholm exposition , which is to be transferred to the grounds of the company and filled with papermaking - making machinery of the latest and im proved patterns , the choice falling up on American makers after a minute personal inspection by the company's experts of the machines and factories of all countries. Unconslous Sufferers. There are numerous cases on record where men suffering from some form of paralysis have been charged with drunkenness , and have suffered in consequence most severely in mind , if not in body. It is far from being an uncommon circumstance for a man to receive in some street row , or , as the result of some practical joke , an in jury to the head or spine , not serious enough , perhaps , at the moment to disable him , but certainly dangerous if not attended to at once. He may leave the vicinity where he received the hurt , may possibly walk for miles , go into a restaurant and take some thing to strengthen the nerves ; then go out and gradually sink into a state of unconsciousness and be found in a doorway or lying in the road , bearing every indication of intoxication. The breath may smell of the stimulant he has taken , he is stupid and helpless , and at once the unpracticed eye stamps him as drunk and incapable. Locked up by himself , he speedily be comes feverish and seriously ill , and dies without assistance. This is no highly colored picture cases cccur over and over again , and we regret to say that it appears to be the com mon practice of the ordinary policeman to arrest and take to the station house any person who is acting strangely or stupidly in the street , or who exhibits signs that are generally accepted as indicating the use of intoxicants. The proper place for these unfortunate per sons is not the police station , but the hospital. There Is Rothin ; ; X Apparently we have not learned so much during the last few thousand years or so as v/e fancy we have. Prof. W. M. Flinders-Petrie , the eminent Egyptologist , has been telling an inter viewer of various odds and ends that he has unearthed from time to time in the buried cities of Egypt , where men and women lived and loved , and scheme and fought nearly four thou sand years before the Christian era. Among these items were rag dollies , no doubt hugged and rocked to sleep by little Cleopatras every whit as af fectionately as the waxen babies made in Germany are today fondled by our small Dorothys and Phyllises. There were draught-boards , too , and fishing rods , babies' rattles , whip-tops and tip-cats , and many a domestic article that we have nowadays in use. What more , he and his learned compan ions were able to discover from the skeletons of men and women who had lain for considerably more than four thousand years "asleep within the . tcinb , " that we moderns cannot even lay claim to a monopoly of such dis eases as rheumatism and spinal cur vature , and rickets. The penny-in-the- slot-machine , we now know , is nothing new ; next we shall hear that the mo tor car provoked the charioters to mirth , as an ancient coraic papyrus of the period shows , when Seneferu , first king of the fourth dynasty , was on the ! throne considerably before Joseph wa ? sold into bondage.
