Then Flowed m Torrent of' Oratory and Euphony. What can be the matter? Doors open, members rush out; members are tear ing past you from all points in one di rectiontoward the house. Then wigs and gowns appear. They tell you with happy faces their committees hare ad journed, and then come a third class, the gentlemen of the press, hilarious. Why, what's the matter? Matter! Macaulay Is up. You Join the runners in n moment. It was an announcement one hadn't heard for years, and the passing of the word "Macaulay's up" emptied committee rooms now as be fore it emptied clubs; the old voice, the old manners and the old style glorious speaking; well prepared, care fully elaborated, confessedly essayish, but spoken with perfect art and. con summate management, the grand con versation of a man of the world con fiding his learning and his recollections and his logic to a party of gentlemen and Just raising his voice enough to be heard through the room. As the house filled he got prouder and more oratorical, and then he pour ed out his speech with rapidity, In creasing after every, sentence, till It became a torrent of the richest words, carrying his hearers with him Into en thusiasm and yet not leaving them time to cheer. The great orator was trembling when he sat down. The ex citement of a triumph overcame him, and he had scarcely the self possession to acknowledge the eager praises which were offered by the ministers and oth ers in his neighborhood. From Wblt ty's "Parliamentary Retrospect, ENGLISH SCHOOLS. The FloararlnK Cnitom and the Way It la Regarded. About corporal punishment in Eng land two curious facts lie beyond dis pute. One is that while the working class and the lower middle class dis like and resent it and will not in gen eral allow their children to undergo it. the aristocracy tolerate it without com plaint The time is coming, one might assert paradoxically, when it will be impossible to flog, anybody but the son of a peer. And the other fact is that public school boys have often felt a special affection for the masters who have punished them most.. .In Westminster abbey -stand side by side the tombs of a master and his pupil. The master was Dr. . Busby, who was head master of Westminster school for so long a time as fifty-eight years. Nobody ever flogged so many boys as he. The pupil was the theo logian, Dr. South. It is, told ram sure the story is true that when South " came as a small boy to Westminster Busby greeted him with the ominous words: "I see great talents In that sulky little boy, and my rod shall bring them out' If so, he was no doubt as good as his word. But when South lay upon his deathbed it was his last prayer to be burled at his old master's feet, and the master and the pupil now rest side by slde.Nlne teenth Century. . , , .

With nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists, one has to take the maker's say-so alone as to their cura tive value. Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterested party and accordingly is not to be given the same credit as If written from disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, how ever, form a single and therefore striking exception to this rule. Their claims to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their makers' say - so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle wrapper. Thus Invalid suffer era are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes in praise of the curative value of the several Ingredients entering into these well-known medicines. - Amonarst these writers we find such med ical lights as Prof. Finley Ellin srw ood. M. D.. of Bennet Medical College. Chicago; Prof. Hale, of the same city; Prof. John M. Scud der. 11. D.. late of Cincinnati. Ohio; Prof. John King. M. D.. late of Cincinnati. Ohio: r. Grorer Ooe, of New York; Dr. Bartho low. of Jefferson Medical College, of Pa and scores of others equally eminent. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the worst cases of female weakness, prolap sus, anteversion and retroversion and corrects irregularities, cures painful periods, dries up disagreeable and weakening drains, some times known as pelvic catarrh and a multi tude of other diseases peculiar to women. Bear in mind, it is not a patent nor even a secret medicine, but the "Favorite, Prescrip tion" of a regularly educated physician, of large experience in the cure of woman's peculiar ailments, who frankly and confid ingly takes bis patients Into his full con fidence by telling them Just what his "Pre scription " is composed of. Of no other medi cine put up for woman's special maladies and sold through druggists, can it be said that the maker is not afraid to deal thus frankly, openly and honorably, by letting every patient using the same know exactly what she Is taking. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond ence is guarded as sacredly secret and womanly confidences are protected by : professional privacy. Address Dr. E. V.
