Catarrh
IS a Mood disease. Until tne poison Is
expelled from the system, there can
lio no cure for this loathsomo anil
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment Is a thorough courso
of Aycr's Snrsnpnrllla tho best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better ; delay Is dangerous.
" I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years, I tried various remedies,
and was treated by a number of physi
cians, but received no benefit until I
began to take Aycr's Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles ot this medicine cured ine of
this troublesome complaint and com.
plctely restored my health." Jesso M.
Uoggs, Uolman's Mills, N. 0.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rcc
ommended to me for catarrh, I was in
clined to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
cure me. I became emaciated from loss
of nppetlte and impaired digestion. I
lin.il nearly lost the sense of smell, and
my system was badly deranced. I was
about discouraged, when n friend urged
me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. and re
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
ot catarrh. After taking halt a dozen
bottles of this medicine, I am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood."

When Liszt Lived In a rlat.
Wrapped in his dressing gown, and
with feet Incased in slippers, Franz Liszt
was sitting comfortably one evening in
his arm chair, ready for work and invit
ing inspiration. On tho floor above, in
tho apartments of a banker, a noisy
musical Boireo was in progress. Polon
aises had succeeded waltzes, and noc
turnes had followed polonaises, when
suddenly the door of tho salon opened
and Liszt entered, still wrapped in bis
dressing gown. The astonishment of tho
company mabo imagined. With Blow
steps Liszt walked toward tho piano, and
the young key pounder who was sitting
at it quickly left his placo, Liszt sat
down at tho Instrument, carelessly swept
his lingers over the keys as if to prelude,
and then suddenly ho shut down tho
cover and put tho key in Ids pocket.
And Immediately, with tho samo tran
quil nir with -which ho had entered, ho
went out and returned to his room,
where ho could work at his ease. San
Francisco Argonaut.
At a Maine Funeral.
A Maine clergyman, who evidently Is
somowhat Interested in tho matter of
funeral reform, writes: "Some time ago
I attended a funeral which took place on
the 'outskirts of civilization.' At tho
close of the services, as usual in the
country, an Invitation was given to tho
Audienco to 'view tho remains.' After
they had done so the relatives of the de
ceased went forward to tako thoir last
look at tho familiar features, and natur
ally were much affected, some of them
Bobbing and crying in an audiblo manner,
When all wero again seated tho person
who had charge or the funeral arose and
romnrked, 'We will now allow tho friends
a few minutes to git control of their
feelln's,' shen resumed his seat, whilo
the silence was only broken by tho sound
of sighs and weeping, which gradually
died away. It struck mo as an innova
tion upon tho usual funeral customs, but
no ono there seemed at all surprised."

A PERPETUAL MOTION PUMP.
Converting the Hailing Sea Waves Into
1'owit for I'umplng Water.
Underneath thopiorof tho Bond Wavo
Power company at Ocean Grove, N. J.,
n ninmuioth iron egg floats upon tho top
of tho waves. In mild weather the egg
hobs up serenely, rising to n height of
about fourteen inches nbovo the dead
level of tho sea, hut when tho weather
Is rough and great rollers como rushing
in tho egg rises forcefully upward flvo
foot or more. It cannot get looso, for it
Is mado fast to tho pier by long, strong
arms of iron. Up from tho top of tho
mammoth egg a rupe runs, and after it
has passed over n pulley it stretches on
shorownrd, and at last enters n wooden
building situated upon tho beach. In
tho building Is n pump, and tho ropo is
In connection with it. Tho pumpis lift
ing about 8,000 gallons of water a min
ute, raising it distances equivalent to the
height of tho waves.
The explanation of tho nppnrntus and
tho work it is doing is that Mr. N. O.
Bond, whoso namesake tho Bond Wavo
Power company Is, has successfully
completed nn experiment undertaken
primarily to determine if it wero possi
ble to mako tho ocean, by tho motion of
Its wnvo, pump enough of itself into
Wesley lnko to mako that lake a body
of salt wnter. There are peoplo living
in'Asbury Park and Ocean Grovo who,
considering that the sources of tho water
of v esley lake aro in tho swnmii lands.
judgo that tho lake is to some extent a
health menacing body of water, nnd they
havo for some time wished that it might
bo salted. Mr. Bond says tliat ho will
havo no diluculty in making Lako Wes
ley Bait, and ho expects to do it. Ho
says that ho is perfectly satisfied that his
now wavo machino will not only do tho
work which it wns especially devised to
do, but ho is also assured that it will bo
found a valuable machino for doing
other things which need to bo dono eco
nomically.
Ho says that tho machine is strong
enough to work comfortably In tho
roughest weather and that it is built
with an especial view to making it run
with very little supervision. IIo says
ihat tho wavo gato which Is in uso as
thomotivo power of tho streot sprink
ling system at Ocean Park ran all through
the winter of 1889-90 without getting
out of order, nnd that Its operations wero
not in tho slightest Interfered with by
tho great storm, which, it will bo re
called, was spoken of as "tho greatest
storm for thirty yoars." Tho wave egg,
Mr Bond says, will bo as llttlo liablo to
disarrangement by heavy weather as tho
wave gate was.
Tho new machino may be used whero-
over waves rise and fall, and there need
not necessarily bo a pier to hold it to its
work. It may bo kept in placo by piles
qulto as well ns by a pier, for, whilo tho
force of n great wavo is immenso, It Is
not so exerted upon the egg as to give n,
shock, such, for example, as tho shock of
a cannon ball.
Tho wave egg may bo mado as its uses
may demand. Tho one in operation at
Ocean Grovo has a major diameter of
ten feet, n minor diameter of soven feet,
and its weight, conjoined with tho arms
by which It Is fastened to tho pier, Is
about two tons. Tho length of tho nrms
is thirty-three feet. New York Times.
ROASTING A MINING TYRANT.
Ilovr the Men at the Khedlvo Lode Were
llovengeil at Lightning 8ped.
In tho mountains the miners frequent
ly mako their descent into tho valleys by
using a pieco of "quaking ash" bark as a
toboggan, but oftener rely on the tenaci
ty of their heavy canvas overalls.
To somo this method of transportation
may seem absurd or impossible, but it is
a fact nevertheless! mon do go down the
fearful slopes on the soft snow from tho
top of a two mile ridge In that manner
faster than they over did on a sled when
a boy.
At tho Khedive lodo tho miners had
long borne n grudgo against tho super
intendent, an overbearing ignoramus; so
thoy Bworo thoy would get even with
him somo dav.
The Khodlvo was located just two
miles above tho old government road
leading to Gothic, at a bend, called "Tho
Crook, nnd it required nn hour s hard
climbing on foot to get up to tho mino
from there.
Ono morning the superintendent camo
ns usual to "inspect, as ho termed it,
but really to curso and rant around bo
causo tho men could not mako $100 oro
ylold $1,000.
Tho miners woro just about tired of
his tyranny and soveral snggosted tho
propriety of giving him a pounding.
However, Providence, who sometimes
advocates tho cause of tho poor miner
as woll ns that of tho rich nabob who
owns tho property, camo to tho men's
assistanco at this critical Juncture
Tho obnoxious superintendent was ex
pecting some important instructions
from headquarters, and gave orders that
if n telegram camo to dispatch a clerk
on horseback until ho reached "Tho
Crook," and thero todisohargo his pistol,
Whilo tearing around, cursing tho
miners as was his wont, suddenly a shot
rang out on tho clear air and, looking
down into tuo valley, all saw a messenger
waving a paper.
Tho anxious superintendent was In ft
nx; lie wanted that telegram in a hurry,
but know that the steep trail would
demand an hour's hard work to reach
there.
At this moment tho wag of tho crow
Bteppod up to hhn and oflored a big iron
ecoop shovel, suggesting that if he sat in
that ho could go down the hill quickly
ana sareiy.
Tho superintendent had often seen tho
descent made on the Bnow as stated, but
he did not seo the roguish twinkle in tho
man's eye as ho took tho proffered inv
pletneut.
Ills trousers wero thin, so grasping tho
handle and sitting in tho concave part
of tho shovel, ho shot down tho declivity 1
faster and faster he wont until ho fairly
flew.
His seat by tho terrible friction grew
warmor and warmer as he sped recklessly
on, but thero was no stopping until tho
bottom was reached, ilo was literally
roasted; but the miners had their re

Lost twenty iounds and tho power of
locomotion for twonty-f our hours. My
lips nnd eyelids turned electric bluo nnd
my complexion is a palo green with ecru
mottling. I wnntod somo modicino a
big dose with a diet of lettuce, prunes,
Graham rolls nnd hot wnter to boo if I
could put down tho rebellious biliousness
of my BWn nnd put on a silver gray
gown. I went to seo tho bathing mis
tress in tho Hoffman house, who used to
steam and knead the Jersey Lily nnd
who did sovernl hundred dollars' worth
of grooming for tho beautiful Duchess
of Marlborough. Sho told mo that I
"ought to get packed."
"Whero to?" I asked.
"Good looksl You can come hero for
a night or I will go to your house and
give you n pack that will mako your hair
curl."
I gave her my card and made arrange
ments to bo ready for her two days later.
Her parting command was: "Take a
fivo meal fast to rest your system, and
you will bo tho color of u lily when I got
through with you." Sho did not say
what color or what kind of a lily at tho
time, but I havo since learned that tho
model sho had in mind was the tiger lily.
TUE "I'ACK" DESCIUBED.
I took tho fast, and tho day sho arrived
I was as hollow as a pipe Btem, and tho
weakness of tho traditional cat was mus
cular vigor compared to tho general gone
ness of my interior. A small .mountain
of comfortables and blankets was col
lected, my bed was stripped und covered
first with a rubber and then a pongee
sheet. Over this was laid a wet sheet
wrung out of boiling water in which I
was folded llko a prehistoric mummy.
Tho sensation was n little smart at
first, and I had ft lurking fear that the
original Luo of whiteness was being
Bcorched from my spinal column. Satis
fied of my mistako I relapsed into a stato
of passivity and tho mistress of the bath
transferred tho mountain of blankets
from the floor to my bed. Then sho put
a cool, wet napkin on my head, and
thero I lay with tho weight of Atlanta's
on my already caved in anatomy and
every pore in my body streaming like a
country pump. I tried to think I was
havihg fun, for it was a day off and it
has always been my motto to mako my
own sunshine.
Do what I could with my thoughts I
felt the blood pumping into my brain
and making violent and forcible efforts
to escape. The stately mistress of the
flesh brush mado me keep still, chang
ing tho cold cloths on my head, slipped
morsels of crushed ico down my throat
nnd encouraging mo by frequent reitera-
Hons that I wns doing well and would
havo a beautiful color. I stayed in tho
pack threo hours nnd perspired until I
thought there wns nothing left of mo
but the last breath. Then I dropped off
or something I don t know just exactly
what and when I was nbout to get a
glimpse of heavenly things with a lot of
Bhort walsted early empire girls and
small dimpled boys in feather trimmings
floating about in ntmospheno noncha-
lanco I was rudely shaken and told to
open my mouth. That ended tho pack.
THE SENSATIONS AFTERWARD.
I was dosed with French brandy,
rubbed with alcohol, polished off with a
pair of bath mitts that had tho grain of
radish graters and put to bod again be
tween warm sheets.
Tho packer gave me a cup of bouillon.
a chop, a roll and a glass of claret, and
stayed with me until I finished the first
morsel of food I had tasted in fifty houra.
Bidding mo keep quiet und stay in bod a
day or two sho relieved me of a fa bill I
had been saving for a crimson parasol
and went olt. when I looked In tho
glass I saw a reflection that beggared tho
horror portrayed by tho impersonators of
Violetta nnd Uamille in their last scenes,
I wn3 a sort of ox heart red with a mot
tling of yellow fever and black plague
patches done in tho fashion that Limoges
vases aro under glazed. My eyes wero
on fire, tho lining of my lids was white
and green, my nostrils wero pinched and
my lips shriveled nnd wero onion bluo in
tint.
Briefly, I was a horror. I looked liko
a resurrection. Mentally I was as idiotio
ns tho ushers in the Bible wedding, But
I had been "packed," and thero Is somo
satisfaction to a crack brain to know
that alio has ono less fad in the gamut of
fooldom to investigate. I havo riven un
the ideal of a gray frock and buckled
down to a diet of raro toast beef, boiled
onions, rico pudding nud vegetable boup,
for until I recover some of my lost flesh
I havo no uso for anything but a Spanish
scan and an ulster,
