' A When a father writes that yours \" is the best medicine ia the world,\" yo.'i can allow something for seeming: extravagance in the statement if you ..know that the medicine so>praised, cured a, loved daughter of disease and restored to her the evesijjht nearly lost. The best med- iciue'in the world for you is the medicine that cures you. There can't be anything- better. No medicrne can do more than cure. That is why John S. Goode, of Orrick, Mo., writes 5n these strong terms:' \"Dr. Aycr's Sarsaparilla is the best med-, iciue in the world. My daughter had a relapse after the measles, due to taking cold. She was nearly blind,and was obliged to remain'in a dark room all the time. The doctors could give Iter no relief; one of them directed me to give her Ayer's;, Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her com-, pletely.\" - if';:: The'thousands of testimonials to the value of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla repeat over and over again, iu one form or another the expression: \"The doctors gave her no relief; one\" of them directed me to give her Dr. Aycr's Sarsaparilla. Two bottles completely cured her.\" It is a common experience to try Dr. Aycr's Sarsaparilla as a last resort. It is a common experience to have Dr. Ayer'a Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician. Itis a common experience to see a \" complete-cure\" follow the use of a few bottles of this great blood purifying medicine. Because, it 'is a specific for all forms of blood disease;-;If a disease has its origin in bad or; impure blood, Dr. Ayer's Sars- aparila,,acting' directly on the blood, removing its. impurities and giving to it vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate the disease. ;'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The great feature of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa. rilla is the radical cures that result from its use.'Many medicines only suppress '.disease\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthey .push the pimples down underlhe skin.thej' paint the complexion, withsubtle arsenical compounds, but tlie disease rages in the veins like a pcnl-up fire, and'some day breaks out in a volcanic eruption that eats up the body.

Up to that time she had regularly attended school and < was remarkably clever for a child of her age. She did nothing except attend school, and although 1 never supposed it would do her much injury, I allowed her to study too sedulously - Thinking that sho was only a little run down I kept her from school for.a few weeks and expected that, she \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwould,be all right again.

I was alarmed ab'Uit her ' conditim when she complained of a soreness in her lungs and began to cough. I was just preparing to take her to a doctor when a neighbor called to s-'o her and advised us to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sho assured ,mo that Pink Pills had,restored her own daughter to health after soveral doctors had failed to do her any good. I therefore resolved to give thorn a trial and purchased a couple ot boxes that very day. I began giving my little daughter thoso pills being very careful to follow the direction.

The Indians of Guiana have a queer system of numeration. They count by the hanel and its four fingers. ' Thus, when they reach five, instead of saying so, they call it a \"hand.\" Six is, therefore, a \"hand and first finger.\" Ten is \"two hands,\" but 20, instead of being \"four hands,\"-is \"a man.\"; Forty is \"two men,\" and thus they go on by twenties. Forty- six is expressed as \"two men, hand and first finrrer.\" HIS BUSY FOUR MINUTES. Nap What a Man Can Dream In a Cat Lasting; From 5:42 to 5:46.

Scores of peoplo who could afford to drop a nickel or a dime into the church offering content themselves by giving a penny..

I am almost tempted to say that the great majority of churches could, with perfect justice, rule out the penny from their offerings.

The customs of studding the person with gems is of extreme antiquity, and the fashion of piercing the ear lobes for tho purpose of sustaining gems set in gold has,been followed by most races from the earliest times to the present day. Homer describes how Juno 'placed pendants in the lobes of her ears. Eardrops were presented by Eurydamas to Penelope, and among the Athenians it was a mark of nobility to have the ears bored. Among the Phoenicians, however, the wearing of earrings ,was the. badge of servitude, and the samo custom obtained with \"tho Hebrews. The rabbis assert that Eve\"s ears were ,bored when she was exiled from Eden as a sign of slavery and submission to tho will of her lord and master. The Egyptian women wore single hoops of gold in their ears, and in Biblical times the custom appears to .have been universal. They appear to have been regarded as the most cherished possessions of their wearers and were only parted with under great stress of necessity: Thus the golden calf is supposed to have been made entirely from the gold, earrings of the people. Among the Arabs tho expression \"to have a ring in one's ears\" is synonymous with \"to be a slave,\" and to the' present day an Arab( who has been 'conquered by another 'places a ring through bis ear as a sign of obedience' and servitude. So general was the use of earrings in Home \"and so heavy were they that there were women whose ' profession was that of \"ear healer,\" who tended at the ears of those ladies who had torn or injured the lobes with the weight of their pendants. These specialists were known as aurie'uloe ornatirei. At one period tho Roman men took to wearing earrings, but the custom was forbidden by Alexander Severus, while in Greece the children wore an earring in tbe right car only. Coming to more modern* timcs\ the fashion of wearing earrings appears to havo been general' in.England from the conquest.

THIBD AND FOURTH OF AUGUST The midsummer Fruit and Flower Festival now demands our attention. In advertising vre certainly do our share towards it- , We trust our readers will do their full duty to a i * this enterprise by exhibiting and attendance. Everyone who has a garden or farm, can find something to show which will add to the attractiveness ot the Festival. The time now remaining is short, and preparations require to be com pleted. And now comes the prohibition question to the front. A plebiscite is to be taken in the fall. The friends of temperance have already started the ball. Let it be an educational campaign, conducted in the form of public discussions and lectures. The political situation is hardly satisfactory to either party, It means, we suppose, a Coalition Government, or another election before long.

It was decided to issue the following appeal to the public: To all friends of Temperance ra Canada: The Plebiscite Bill has been passed by parliament. The money for the expense of voting\" has been appropriated; It is now certain that early in the cuming autumn the electors of Canada will be asked to vote \"yes'' or \"no\" on the question of the total Prohibition of the liquor traffic. This contest will be one of terrible intensity, nothing like it has ever before taken place in the history of our cause. The liquor traffic realizes the situation and will fight as it never fought before. The very life of this wealthy, grasping and po.verful evil is at stake. To meet it we must be earnest, united and organ- ied. We can not win without personal sacrifice. We must be ready to give money, time and energy to the, tight. Organization must be perfected, literature must be circulated, meetings must be held. Every voter must be personally canvassed. Men and women, we appeal to you to keep in this work in this hour of need. Do it for the-s ike of the homes that will be desolated and the innocence and weakness that are doomed to ruin and shame if this traffic goes on. Lose no opportunity for work. Every available assistance will be needed. Wisely seek to promote our cause in your home, your church, your, Sunday school, your Young Peop'e's. organization, your temperance society, your business Lfe, your social life. Enlist every one of these influences in support of this great reform. Everyone of them is a force thatmay be utilized. Make special efforts to secure the aid of the press in your locality. In it you will often find a warm and potent friend. Help it with facts, arguments and infor mation that will nearly always be welcomed, appreciated and used. If there is a plebiscite organization in your locality unite yourself with it. If not, not take steps at once to have such a work begun. Lose no time. A great responsibility is upon us. A splendid opportunity is given us. Do your utmost for Gad and Home and Canada. By order of the Dominion Alliance Executive. J. J. MACLAREN,: President, F. S. SPENCE, Secretary. A Peaceful JLining.

It also says the Spanish Government is ready to give Cuba up if the U. S. is ready to assume the Cuban debt. The greatest difficulty is the war indemnity; but a solution of this may be found in the proposal from American and English bankers to repay the U. S. Government for its war expenses in 20 annuities, taking in the tobacco monopoly and railroad concession of Cuba and Phillippines. It is rumoured if Spain surrendeis Santiago, President McKiniey, in order to facilitate peace, will abandon the attack on Porto Rico. The Queen will appoint the new cabinet, which is significant of peace. Bofugees Fed by TJ. S. Rations.

To- these, gentlemen, I would draw their attehtiou to these few suggehtions, viz: That if they - wish te help, the canae of temperance, religion anc humanity, they pretend to have so ' .deeply, at heart, I-would ask them to take ' a lessson from the successful, candidate in the'late campaign, by getting into the very midst of their'enemies. Teetotal and religious bodies of all denominations or the present day are couspicuous by their absence in the midst of the evil and crime they profess they wish to conquer. The greatest; writers aud authorities ot the temperance question of the present day are unanimous in their belief that you can not make a man tern perate by an act of parliament. These advocates of temperance would do well to give both their time and money, which they would make you believe is of a secondary consideration, to introduce a non-alcoholic beverage, which would be equally acceptable as the fermented article and tieat their fellow brothers to this new beverage, and so create a universal appet te for it, which in time, would loosen the stronghold that liquor has obtained on them, and so gradually raise them from the depth of misery they are falling into; but unfortunately amongst their ranks are not to found liberal men. There are men among them almost too mean to supply themselves with a liberal sustenance but when they are partaking of other folks' hospitality are anything but, examples of temperance. In promoting the cause of religion they forget that \" what' proceedeth if rem a man defileth him and not what eu- tereth in.\" Their lives, which they themselves consider so pure and noble, are those ,of selfish example and consist of confining their principles and company to themselves, and the utmost libearlity shown by them in the distribution of a few pau-phlets which can be had at the cost of a few cents per gross in our present Candida \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs their \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDemperate *nd religiojas defenders should be abie to draw a great lesson; for Mr. D. though a strictly temperate man, to gain his cause, was in the midst of those who indulged in tiae alcoholic beverage where an argument was going on unfavorable to his aide, he was Jiere to show the other side, and when the battle was fought to win he magnified hig intense religious and humane teeliug by shaking hands with his strongest opponents 1 am not asking the public or either of the candidates to accept the slightest intimation from me which way I cast my vote.

Aready Larry struggles in the arms of the enemy; the two men, turning, have come at him from different directions. His heavy cane does yoeman service, and the first whack sends Colonel Leon Garcia, that noble exponent of ''how to \"win glory from behind a tree or stone wall,\" to the floor, with stars dancing before his eyes. Unfortunately Larry is not an Irisli- ' man wielding a shillelah, and, before he can recover himself after making this ten-strike, the second of his enemies has descended upon him as might an avalanche in the Alps. Lord Backctt is so large, and his antagonist of such diminutive stature, that it would seem as though the latter must be crushed at once; but the battle is not always to tho strong nor the race to the swift, and Larry is so exceedingly nimble that he manages to elude the punishment meant for him, while at the same time he keeps up a vicious fusillade of savage kicks at the shins of the Briton, which must be very exasperating and painful. Garcia picks himself up from tho floor \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDGarcia, who is a beautiful sight to behold, for the heavy cane thumped him on i he forehead, and already a lump has arisen the size of an egg. From,his eyes flash the fires of hatred and revenge. The hot Spanish blood demands retaliation, and woe to Larry if he once feels this man's grip. .

Avis, dear, step aside, and don't fear, for your Jack is on deck, and himself again.\" Yes, thank heaven'! Doctor Jack has come to time. CHAPTER, VI. The situation has undergone a change, and now the American party is on top. Avis no longer hat; cause to cry out and feel that a dire calamity overshadows them, for she has perfect faith in Jack's ability, to take cave of any man opposed to him. When Doctor Jack so suddenly leaves the side ot his wife, .ins eyes' are fastened upon the t. 11 figure of the Briton, who is waging his qu.?er and unequal fight against'the plucky, bantam, Larry Kennedy. En route, however, Jack has his .Attention drawn to the Chilian officer, whose attitude ,is so threatening thatit. is plain to be seen the dude-, stands in more, danger from;this .source than Irom.Lord Kackett.

The Chilian is wise beyond his years, and discreet. There is not a man in all the country better able to take care of himself.

They whirl about tho room locked in< each other's embrace like a teetotum, or a couple of spinning dervishes,. coming against the far wall'with a crash. It is Lord'Baokett who gets the fulj. benefit of this contact, and it rather, takes the wind out of his sails. ' < He soon concludes that he does not care quite as much about demolishing the Yankee who carried off the prize, as he imagined. It must have been a mistake. Then there is Garcia, poor Garcia, who received such a wicked crack over the head. .Perhaps his mind is wandering, and he may get into seme trouble unless he has a friend to look alter him. Thus many philanthropic reasons appear to Lord Rackelt why he should terminate this little engagement in which he gets decidedly the worst of it. He suddenly makes \"a\" supreme effort, and breaks away from the other's hold. Jack is not particularly anxious for his company, although bent on delivering punishment. He never seeks-a quarrel, and yet they find him always ready to take care of himself. When he discovers that he is not pursued, the Briton turns in the door-way to hurl defiance back at the man with whom he has just been engaged, and assure him they will meet again. Evidently the date of that meeting is not the present, for when Doctor Jack makes a rush in that direction Lord Backett Plymptom vanishes like tho morning mist in the valleys of the stacely Andes.
