Headache
Usually rcsulM from a deranged stomach or
a sluggish liver. In either case, an aperient
Is needed. Ayer'a rills, the mildest and
most reliable cathartic in use, correct all
Irregularities ot tho stomach, liver, and
bowels, nod, In n brief time, relieve tho
most distressing headache. These pills are
highly recommended by the profession, and
tho demand for them Is universal.
"I have been afflicted, lor years, with
headache and Indigestion, and though I
spent nearly a fortune In medicines, I never
found any relief until I began to take Ayer'a
Fills. Six bottles ot these Pills completely
cured me." Benjamin Harper, Plymouth,
Montserrat, W. I.
"A long sufferer from headache, I was
CURED BY
two boxes of Ayer'a Pills." Emma Eeycs,
llubbardston, Mass.
"For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathartlo
Tills are the most efficient medicine I ever
used." llobert 1C James, Dorchester.Mass.
"For years I was subject to constipation
and nervous headacho, caused by derange
ment ot the liver. After taking various rem
edlesV1! have becomo convinced that Ayer'a
Pills are the best. They never fail to relievo
my billons attacks In a short times and I am
uro my system retains Its tone longer after
the nse of these Pills, than has been the case
with any other medicine I have tried."

THE GLADSTONE BAG.
1 had breakfasted wilh the colonel at
his club, one of thoio dreary, largo es
tablishments which remind you of an
oyercrowded cemetery, where tho own
era of the land get rich on their divi
dends. Outside It was rainy, damp and
misty; InBide the members were regard
ing each other with disdain and calcu
lating what effect the humidity of the
atmosphere would hare on the varnish
of their patent leather boots.
"Suppose we get out of this," said the
Colonel briefly as ho regarded the street
from tho broad club window
"Whore tor said I.
"Paris," ho said laconically.
"Done," said I.
And then the bag was ordored to bo
packed and the Journey began.
We left Waterloo station and we were
trying, like o'.d sailors, to transform a
railroad compartment into a comforta
ble smoking divan. It was then 1 first
noticed tho colonel's Gladstone bog, It
had been reposing peacefully in tho rack
above my head, and I threw It down In
hopes of using it for a pillow. Some
how it slipped and fell to the floor.
"Look outl" said the colonel. If
you dropped that bag a year ago that
way I wouldn't have given much for
your chances of living; no, nor mine
either."
I saw then there was a history in the
bag, and said, "Whyr
"It isn't a long story, but may keep
you awoke. I'll tell you about it. When
I left tho array and returned homo from
India 1 was not very well off. I had
studied explosives in the cast and some
one at the clnb recommended me to a
French company which had been formed
about the same time to perfect anew ex
plosive which, they were assured, would
bo favorably considered by the war
office. The salary was good and the
subject Interesting, bo laccepted their
offer. .
"1 established my laboratory outside
of Versailles and went to work with a
will In my experiments, however, 1
found myself all at once out of nitre
glycerin, which 1 needed absolutely. I
wrote to the company. No dynamlto to
bo had. Then I went up to the French
war office and saw the secretary. He
was sorry, so very sorry, but at the
present time, in the disturbed state of
the country, etc., ho regretted that it
would not be in his power to furnish
nitroglycerin to private persons. How
ever, ho would do what he could, and he
gave mo a letter to Colonel Majendie,
chief of explosives in London, who, he
said, would surely honor my request,
"That night I took th"e club train to
London, and next morning at 10 o'clock
found me at the chiefs office. 1 pre
sented my letter and stated what I
wanted. Tho chief regarded me with
suspicion (you must remember it was
during tho dypamite scare in England),
and the lnoro 1 explained the less he be
lieved me. Various officers were intro
duced, one ntter the other, for no other
purpose, 1 believe, than to take down
my personal characteristics as a profes
sional dynamiter.
"At last tho chief said that, in accord
ance with articles so and so, sections
this and that of the office rules, he would
bo reluctantly compelled to refuse my
request.
"Then 1 got tired.
"1 told tbo chief 1 wanted the explo
sive and meant to get it 'But yon

quite as if she were an oxpected guost,

that she had paid and dismissed him.

assured that tho servant who opened the
door never dreamed bnt that sho was

Sparrow, aod lllackbtrda.
Birds, notwithstanding their attract
iveness in plumage and sweetness In
song, are many of them great thieves.
When nest building they will steal tho
feathers ont of the nests of other birds,
and are often much inclined to drive off
other birds from a feeding gronnd oven
where there is abundance. This is espe
cially true of one of our greatest fuvor
ites, the robin redbreast, who will peck
and run after and drive away birds
much bigger than himself.
Very different as the robiu and the
sparrow are in other things, they re
semble each other in this. On an early
spring morning, when a little toueh of
frost still made the snrfaoe of the earth
hard, I have seen a blackbird on a lawn
at last after great efforts extract a worm,
and this was the signal for a crowd of
sparrows, who, by dint of numbers,
managed to drive away the blackbird
and carry off the worm, to feed their own
young ones, no doubt. UasseU's Maga

The N.ptane'e Head.
Above a butcher's stall on the west
side ot proaaic Washington market
standi a peonlUr relic It is a beauti
fully carved ldylllo head of Neptune,
and once upon a time it graced the prow
ot some long gone clipper. Oo vexed
with grime and festooned with cobwebs,
it looks down from its perch with the
same graven smile with which it once
met tempest and calm alike. It is out
from a block of English oak, and tho
craftsman who fashioned it was a mas
ter hand, for it has the breadth of treat
ment and firmness of detail of an an
tique Grecian bust Properly mounted
it would make a most effective orna
ment for a mantelpiece or center table,
and in the hands ot a curiosity collector
who knows his business would undoubt
edly bring a stiff price, New York
