This, however, is a by no means easy thing to do, as one at a first impulse is very apt to make a decided endeavor to remove the offender.

A Lewiston (Maine) genius is putting the finishing touches to a wonderful steam carriage, resembling in appearance a grocer s wagon, which is expected to travel at the rate of a mile a minute at first, and faster when all the improve ments are on, if the driver has all the . requisite courage. It is expected, to g" it on ordinary road tracks. Pitts uurg Times. Church Going in Old Kentucky.

In the cen grass plot, On one side was a row of ' tre of the desert are about a dozen co hitching posts, with rude troughs for ! coannt trees and about five miles distant corn, also a large shed for shelter in case of rain.

Atlantic. New Cad U Killing at West Point. Mounting the stairs to the gallery, we look down upon' a large space strewn with tanbark, at one end of which is a row of some twenty horses with water ing bridles. Soon the performers file in and come to a halt in front of the horses. Do they intend to ride only with the watering bi idle, without even saddle or blanket? They will try to, at all events. The instructor commands: "Stand to horse! Prepare to mounti Mount!''5 In obedience to his command the ca dets spring, struggle, leap, and kick in their endeavors to bestride their steeds. The moment they arc mounted several horses develop astonishing bucking pro pensities, to the anguish of their riders and the delight of the gallery. Now they start around the hall at a walk. It seems rather tame, doesn't it ? But soon the command ''trot" is given, and the fun begins. The poor fellows bounce about on the horses' backs like India rubber boys, and wabble from side to side like jumping-jacks. The trot is accelerat ed, the horses take the gallop, and dash around the hall, tumbling their riders in heaps at the corners, while those who by chance are still mounted grasp frantical ly at their horses' manes. Finally, the gait is reduced to a walk ; line is formed ; the dismounted yearlings, nothing daunt ed, catch their horses and remount, and then the performance is repeated. St. Nicholas. Flies Walk Up. "I have only known of one instanb where baldness proved remunerative," said an old gentleman to a St. Louis Globe writer. ' "A friend of mine, who had A a shining pate, fell into the habit watching the actions of his tormentors, the flies. He noticed that a fly always walks up ward. Put a fly on a window, and up he goes toward the top; he can't be made to walk downward. So my friend hit upon an idea. Why not use that habit against them? Forthwith he made a window screen, divided in half. The upper half lapped over the lowei, with an inch of space between. Well, as soon as a fly would light on the screen he would proceed to travel upward, and would thus wTalk straight outdoors. On reaching the top of the lower half he would be outside. Not being able to walk down, he had no way to return to the room. By this means a room can be quickly cleared of flies, which always seek the light. My friend has got out a patent, and proposes to begin a sys tematic war against the household pest." Poisonons Baby Carriages. "Poisonous Perambulators," says the British Medical Journal, "are prob ably one of the least suspected of dan gers, yet, nevertheless, one which expe rience has shown to exist, and, therefore, one against which the parents of a fam ily would do well to be on their guard. A case is recorded this week of a child, aged four months, who, on its return after being out under a hot sun, wTas seized with sickness and vomiting, the vomited matter being a green colored fluid. From inquiries made by the med ical man it wTas elicited that the child had been seen to suck a green strap of the perambulator, and the true cause of the mischief was at once suspected, namely, arsenic poisoning. An analytical exami nation of the strap confirmed this view, arsenic being found to be present in great abundance. In spite of all that medical aid could effect, the child gradually sank from exhaustion." Singing Sands. Tn one of the Smith Pacific islaDds are is the ocean.

He explained that the seeming lake was a wailiula or a mirage; that the sound of gurgling waters came from an under ground stream, and that the music was caused by the stirring of the flinty sands bv the wind.

The following words, in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as a remedy for those delicate diseases and weak nesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They are fair samples of the spontaneous expressions with which thousands give utterance to their 6ense of gratitude for the inestimable boon of health which has been restored to them by the use of this world-famed medicine. John E. Segar, of MUlenbeck, Va., writes: " My wife had been suffering for two or three years with female weakness, and had paid out one hundred dollars to physicians with out relief. She took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it did her more good than all the medicine triven to her by the physi S100 Thrown Away. cians during the three years they had been Mrs. George Herger, of Wcstfield, N.

I treated with Dr. , for The Greatest Earthly Boon. nine months, without The 'Favorite Prescription' is the greatest earthly boon to us poor suffering women." Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. rzrz i Mrs. E.

I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and using the local treatment recommended in his 'Common Sense Medical Adviser.' I commenced to improve at once.

I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had boen restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them, and enclosing a stamped-en-velope for reply. 1 have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have described my case and the treatment used, and have earnestly advised them to 'do likewise.' From a great many I have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the use of ' Favorite Prescription,' had sent the $1.50 required for the 4 Medical Adviser,' and had applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much better already." THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cUre of woman's peculiar maladies. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested it in the more aggravated and obstinate cases which had baffled their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a " cure-all," but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar ailments. As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the uterus, or womb and its ap pendages, in particular. For overworked, "worn-out."

Bosweli,, Wliite CottagcO., writes : " I took eleven bottles of your ' Fa vorite Prescription ' and one bottle of your 4 Pellets.' I am doing my work, and have been for some time. I have had to employ help for about sixteen years before I commenced tak ing your medicine. I have had to wear a supporter most of the time ; this I have laid as I ever did." 4 Mrs. May Gleason, of Nunica, Ottawa Co. Mich., writes: "Your 'Favorite Prescription' has worked wonders in my case. Again she writes : "Having taken several bot tles of the k Favorite Prescription ' I have re gained my health wonderfully, to the astonish- ment of myself and friends. I can now be on my feet all day, attending to the dufies of my household. DISEASE. A Marvelous Cure. Mrs. G. F. Sprague, of Crystal, Mich., writes: "I was troubled with female weakness, leucorrhea and falling of the womb for 6even years, so I had to keep my bed for a good part oi the time. I doctored with an armv of different physicians, and spent large sums of money, but received no lasting benefit. 'At last my husband persuaded me to try your medicines, which I was loath to do, because I was prejudiced against ithem, and the doctors said they would do me no good. I finally told my husband that if he would get me some of your medicines, 1 would try them against the advice of my physician. He got me six bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription,' also six bottles of the 'Discovery,' for ten dollars. I took three bottles of ' Discovery ' and four of ?Favorite Prescription,' and I have been a sound woman for four years. I then gave the balance of the medicine to my sister, who was troubled in the same way, and she cured herself in a short time. I have not bad to take any medicine now for almost lour years." EXPERIENCE. In pregnancy, 41 Favorite Prescription " is a "mother's cordial," relieving nausea, weakness of stomach and other distressing symptoms common to that condition. If its use is kept up in the latter months of gestation, it so prepares the system for de livery as to greatly lessen, and many times almost entirely do away with the sufferings of that trving ordeal. "Favorite Prescription5 when taken in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxa tive doses of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder diseases. Their combined use also removes blood taints, and abolishes can cerous and scrofulous humors from the system. "Favorite Prescription" is the only medicine for women sold, by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manufacturers, that it will give, satisfac tion in every case, or money will be re funded, 'lnis guarantee nas oeen pnnted on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully car ried out for many years.
