may do something
perhaps, a great deal to increase the
postal revenues, by calling the atten

the facilities offered by the Parcels
Tost System, for sending miscellan
eous merchandise, at comparatively
low rates, to a number of foreign
countries with which the United
States has frequent direct mail service,
and whose peoples are disposed to es
tablish friendly trade relations with
this cou ntry.
Packages of merchandise may now
be sent by mail to Mexico, the Re

Costa Rica, Jamaica, Barbadoes, 1 he

two feet in length by four in girth ; if
for any of the other countries named,
more than three feet six inches in

PUMPING FOR LIFE.
A Unique but StartllNg Cure far Latl
nest. A trareller, in the course of a morning
walk in Amsterdam, came upon a group
gathered rouud a well, into which a
strongly built man had just been let
down. A pipe, whose mouth was at the
top of the well, bad been opened, and a
stream of water from it was flowing into
the well, and gradually filling it. The
man below bad quite enough to do, if be
did not want to be drowned, to keep the
water out by means of a pump that was
at the bottom of the well.
The traveller, pitying the man, asked
for au explanation of what seemed a
cruel, liearileus joke.
"Sir," replied au old man standing
near, "that fellow is, as you see, healthy
and strong. I have myself offered liiru
work twenty times, but be always allows
laziness to got the better of him, and will
make any excuse to beg bis bread from
door to door, though he might easily earn
it if he chose.
" Wo are now trying to make him real
izo that be must work. If be usea the
strength that is iu his arms, he will be
saved ; if be lets them bang idle, be will
be drowned. But look," contiuued the
old Dutchtnnu, as be went to the edge of
tho well, "the fellow finds out that be
lias muscles already; in an hour we shall
let him out with better resolutions for
the future. "
Tho traveller watched until the man
was liberated from his watery prison,
and felt sure tbat at least a temporary
cure bad been effected. Youth's Com

IT PAYS
To be cautious in the choice of medl
olnes. Many nro Injured by trying ex
periments with compounds purporting
to be Wood-purifiers, the principal
recommendation of which would seem
to be their "chenpness." Being made
up of worthless, though not always
bnrmless, ingredients, they may well
be "chenp;" but, in tho end, they are
dear. The most reliable medicines are
costly, nnd can bo retailed at mod
erate prices, only when the manufactur
ing chemist hnndles the raw materials
in large quantities. It is economy,
therefore,
To Use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the valuable components
of which are Imported, wholesale, by the
J. C. Ayer Co. from the regions where these
articles are richest in medicinal properties. '
"It Is a wonder to me that any other
than Ayer's Sarsapnrllta has a show In the
market. If people consulted their own In
terest, they would never use any other; for
It Is not only the best, hut, on account of its
concentrated strength and purity. It Is the
mot economical." .Tames K. Puffy, Drug

years, and have the highest regard for Its
healing qualities."
'Although the formula Is known to the
trade, thero can be 110 successful Imitation
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Without having the
enormous facilities of the J. C. Ayer Co., it is
impossible for other parties to put together
such valuable ingredients, at the low cost

Peoria 111 , May 7th The gre,t
marsh dike, fifteen miles 0iv .
protecting a strip of bottom land abo 1
two miles wide, gave way at a pJ.
opposite Pekin last night. The ere
vasse is about 600 feet wide ami is j."
creasing rapidly.
As soon as the news of the W
was received rescuing parties were or
mm in me risk of
losing their own lives several made
tour of the districts in boats. At mid
night the entire district had been Rnne
over and all the people had been ret.
cued, They were very scantily attireil
and were taken to Pekin and tetnpor.
arily cared for. Household goods of
every kind are floating about the river
and the inundated district. There w
a large amount of live stock of all de
scriptions in the district and the lo
fiom this source will be very great.
At Ottawa the list of unfurtunatti
was added to by numbers of people
driven from houses which
escan'd
Thursday. Despite all efforts, the
manufacturing district was totally cov.
ered by water. Ottawa will be help,
less for a week at least.
Marseilles, La Salle and Peru are
in an even more desperate condition,
At Marseilles the river is steadily rising
and is more and more dreaded as the
levees weaken There is little hope
they will stand much longer, and every
one in the district threatened have re
moved all property to high ground. At
La Salle the situation is worse th it
was last night, the water having al
vanced from two to three feet all
around the city, and the manufactories,
the water works, street railway and
electric light plants are still under wa
ter. The Illinois, Texas, Kankakee, and
Vermillion Rivers have been from
twenty to twen'.y two feet above low
water mark for eighty hours, while
their currents have averaged fully fif
teen miles per hour. This immense
mass of water does not include one
tenth of the terrific fall of rain precipi
tated udon this area. Splendid farms
in all of the counties of the valleys
were turned into great frog ponds by
the flood, and as the earth was already
filled with water, these farms will re
main submerged for perhaps a week.
Between 2000 and 3000 acres of land
along the river banks are also under
many feet of water, and the prospect
