A Kansas (ienius Invents a Machine to
Lav E&gi
Parsons, Kan., Feb., l.'it'n.
"The American hen needs
no protection" was a stock
phrase of the recent cam
paign, referring then to the
provisions of the McKinley
bill putting a tariff on eggs,
but the campaign speakers
did not figure on the invent
ive genius oi a Kansas far
mer. Jarr.es Storey, of this city,
has just received letters lat
ent from Washington for his
invention of an artificial egg.
The artificial is said to re
semble the natural produc
tion in all particulars.
The in yenter says that he
can manufacture at least one
carload per day at a cost of
three cents per dozen, with
machinery that will cost on
ly five hundred dollars.
A WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN,
A whole family in heaven!
Who can picture or describe
the everlasting joy ? No one
absent. Norfat her, nor moth
er, not son, nor daughter n
vvay. In the world they were
united in faith and love and
peace and joy. In the morn
ing of the resuiection they as
cend together. Before t h e
the throne they bow togeth
er in united adoration. On
the banks of the river of life
they walk, hand in hand, and
ns a family they have com
menced a career of glory that
shall be everlasting. There
hereafter, is iij separation
in that family. No one is to
lie down on a bed of pain; no
one is to sink into the ai ms
of death. Never, in heaven.
As that family to move along
in the slow procession, dad
in the habiliments of woe, to
consign one of its members
kto the tomb. (iod grant that
in His infinite mercy, every
family may be thus united.

the most expensive of the j

in a tariff bill not more than j

plants imported for tran -planting,

was that for a year until

Ayer's
Sarsaparilla
The Best
Blood Medicine
So say Leading Physician
and Druggists, and their opin
ion is indorsed by thousands
cured by it of Scrofula, Ec
zema, Erysipelas, and other
diseases of the blood.
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla lias won Us repu
tation by yeais oi valuable stTvice to the
ciniminily. It is the bet." K. S. Lang,
Druggist, 212 Merrimack St., Lowell, Jlass.
Dr. V. J'. AVriglrt, Paw Paw Ford, Tenn.,
Bays: "In my practice, I invariably pre
scribe Ayer's Sarsaparilla for chronic dis
eases of the blood."
Dr. K. It. Boyle, Third and Oxford sts.,
Philadelphia, Pa., writes: '-For two years
I have prescribed Ayer's Sarsaparilla in
numerous Instances, anil I find it highly
efficacious in the treatment of all disorders
of the blood."
L. M. Hobinson, Pharmacist, Rahina, O.,
certifies: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla has always
been a great seller. My customers think
there Is no blood-purifier eipial to It."
"For many years I was afllicted with
scrofulous running sores, which, at lust be
came so bad the doctors advised amputating
one of my legs to save my life. I begau
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla and soon saw an
Improvement. After using about two dozen
bottles the sores were ln-aled. I continue to
take a few bottles of this medicine each
year, for my blood, and am no longer trou-
II .d Willi sores. 1 have tried other reputed
Mood-purifiers, but none does so much good
as Ayer's Sarsaparilia." D. A. Hobinson,
Keal, Kansas.
