Words of Praise from a New York Lady for AVER'S PILLS " I would like to add my testimony to that of others who have used Aycr's Pills, and to say that I have taken them tor many years, and always derived tho best results from their use. For stom ach and liver troubles, and for the cure of headache caused by these derange ments, Ayer's Pills cannot be equaled. '4 When my friends ask me what is the best remedy for disorders of the stom ach, liver, or bowels, my invariable answer is, Ayer's Pills. Taken in sea son, they will break np a cold, prevent : la grippe, check fever, and regulate the digestive organs.

Suddenly Yesterday About three weeks ago a young uian applied at Oates' Cotton Mill for work. He made his request known in writing, as he was unable either to speak or hear. He was put on Mght work, and was regarded by those working near him as he silent member. He took a room at one of the factory houses on Sixth street nd wns known to all in that row of fiats as the mute. He w8 in the habit of trading at Alexander's store j and when he went there for anything failing to make tbem understand on Lis hands, he always wrote. Yesterday about 2 o'clock he complained of headache, and laj down to take a nap. He dreamed that he was no longer deaf and dumb but could hear and speak, and that be was at home talking' to his mother. He awoke suddenly, and t! e word ":other" was on his lips. His dream had come trne In tbe sleep his hearing and speech had snddenlv come back to him, and he ta'ked and could hear just the same as other peoplp. Overjoyed at the wondrous change he ran to tell the neighbors. They one and all looked upon him with wonder and some could hardly be- lieve that he was the same nun. Later in the eveni ig tha Obaerm hunted the young man np. He was found sitting on the porch of his boarding house reading. He gave his same as N. C. Odell. He is from Chicago, where - his mother r.- si.Ies still. Thirteen years ago he had scarlet fever, followed by smallpox. Up to that time his hearing and speech were, as far as he knew, per- ftct. He suddenly lost both, and for thirteen years ha8 neither heard nor spoken. For the past eix months he has been;able to wbtsper.Mf any one came very near to mm. lie jb now 26 vears of age. He went to the mill yesterday shortly after rev gaining speech aud hearing, but the noise was so painful that he had to leave. He complainedjn the after noon of a roaring in his head, Mr, Odell cannot account for the won derfnl recovery. He says he had long ago given up all idea of ever regaining his hearing and speech. His yoice is soft and well modulated, and one could not tell that there had ever been anj thing wrong with him. Charlotte Observer. Kc Is a M'nite Nan. Mk.

Sprny minted Oli;ori.avender Around the Rooms. "I neyer use window screens," said a .wise hourekeepf r the other day, "because I have a fancy that they shut out all the air in the hot weathei; and, besides they serve to keep the flics in the house equally as well as out" "But I never see a fly in your house," said her friend. How do you manage it ? For my pari, I must confess that, screens or no screens, my summer means to me & battle with the little pests." "My remedy is a very simple one' said thegood housekeeper, "and I learned it years ago from my grand mother, when I used to sit and watch her putting bunches of lavender flowers around to keep the flies away. My method is simpler. I buy five cents worth of oil of lavender at the drug store and mix it with the same quantity of water. Then I put it in a common glass atomizer and Vspray it around the rooms wherever flies are apt to congregate, especially in the dinning room, where I sprinkle it plentifully over the table linen. The odor is especially dis- ageeable to flies, and they will never venture in its neighborhood, though to most people it has a peculiarly fresh and grateful smell." Detroit Free Press. irinm Springs and its Manager. A reporter of the Standard, ttv gether with several preachers, Rev. J Q Wertz among them, and others, several daya ago visited Barium Springs, N. C. It was the first and a surprise to the rt porter. The manager of the Barium Springs property, which consists ci 90 acres, is Mr. W M Dayvaulr, father of the Messrs. Dayvaults, of Concord. He is the cleverest and the most jolly-spirited man this re porter ever met To go to his loveb ly country home, where everything ia neatness, order and cheerfulness (one of the niceBt country homes eyer seen) and to remain there sev eral weeks would be health-giving even without the use of the water Mr, Day ault is the youngest old gentleman we haye ever seen, and his great hospitality is not confined to his neighborhood no man goes there that does not- receive one of those cordial welcomes that he can never forget. Between Mr. Dayvault's home and the Springs property is located the Presbyterian Orphanage, of which we speak elsewhere. This spring was discovered about 1775, It was formerly known as the 'Toison Spring," bo called un der a mistaken idea of the early sec- tiers, who, because cattle refused to drink the water, were led to believe that it was injurins. Experience and Chemistry, however, have dis proved and entirely reversed this supposition, and the water is known now to be a valuable remedy for many diseases. As calling it the "Poison Spring" tended to create a prejudice against the nse of the water the name has been changed to the Barium Spring. The spring is peculiarly situated, being on the top of a rocky knoll, about fifteen feet higher than a brook over forty feet distant, and eight to ten feet higher than eight other springs around the base of the knoll, and about one hundred feet distant. It has no visible outflow, and the water remains at a constant level, never freezes, never stagnates, and it will keep pure and retain its cum tive efficiency indefinitely. Tbeae remarkable springs are well known to the Indians, and their waters were so highly esteemed by them for their potent curative properties that they made the lo cality a regular rendezvous, as is proven by tradition and by numerous fyidences of their former occupation. The other springs all contain vary ing mineral ingredients, sulphur and iron being the most prominent ele ments in lh-m. The use of their waters are free to visitors. Mr. Dayvault keeps the spring under lock, though eight other springs are free and open. He is just as proud and careful about this mam spring as wonld some Concord men be of a fine girl baby. He ib kept busy looking after the property and ev. ry morning he goes driving into Troutman's, one and a halt miles distant, to make shipments of water. These go to all parts of tLe Sonth, in sealed jugs. You have no idea just what this property is until you see it. The ownership is in the heirs of Donald McRee, of Wilmington, and could not be purchased for $6,000. All Sorts ol Paragraph.

Finally the conductor was called in, who delivered his dictu-n as follows: "If the bpndles are not claimed by any one on the train, then by coming around to the depot tomor row and identifying them satiefac toiily we will gije them to you." The man's face was red with rafje but he could do nothing. So, amid the laughter of the passengers, be rushed out of the car just as the train was pulling out.
