A gentleman living in a metropolitan
suburb was strolling down one of its
streets when he came by chance across
conplo a man and a woman whom
ho immediatrly recognized as having
been his fellow passengers in a steamer
crossing the channel. His reminiscences
wero not of a particularly agreeable na
ture, for he lost no time in f ttbiff them
ui rested. The tale which ho unfolded to
the pollen commissary was ns follows:
The steamer had hardly left the ICng
lisli port en route to the shores of Franco
When ho nnd nlsnit fiO other companions
in misery were seized with all the
symptoms of nial de iner. Tho only trav

bonbon box n lozenge, which ho swal
lowed with apparent satisfaction. Tlio
Woman in whose company ho was met
in Paris ncted on tlio steamer as If she
was a perfect strnnger to him, and she
seemed indeed to lie the greatest victim
of them all. So intense wns her suffer
ings that tho man walked up to her mid
offered her one of the lozenges, declar
ing that they wero a soven ign remedy
against seasickness. Sho took one, nnd
in tho conrso of n few minutes said that
sho was completely cured, mid soon lier

"It is rather a curious fact," said a
prominent local railroad man who t ports
a luxurious ljcnrd, "that ono of tho few
occasions of my going to church in re

i Keep Aocoi: ,tft,
I Keeping household accounts is nil nf
fair, if not of necessity, still of the great
est w isdom. In comparison with the
small amount of timo and labor which
tho doing so employs, tho satisfaction
' of knowing, nt tho end of each year,
; how the family funds have gono is the
amplest compensation. One especial sat-
isfactiou gained from tho keeping of
household neem.i :, is tho ubility, when
i or if tho necessity arises, to reduce ex
j ponditivres on tho outlay for luxuries
: aud uimeeoi saries. Tho niouey spent for
j food, for medicines or for fuel is capa

Ayer's Sarsaparilla
"For five years, 1 was a great
sufferer from a most persistent
blood disease, none of the various
medicines I took being of Bny
help whatever. Hoping that
chiiugo of climate would Ix-nedt
me, I went to Cuba, to Florida,
and then to Saratoga Springs,
where I remained some time
drinking the waters. Hut all was
no use. At last, being advised
by several friends to try Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, I began taking it,
and very soon favorable results
were manifest. To-dny I con
sider myself a perfectly healthy
man, with a good appetite and
not the least trace of my former
complaint. To all my friends,
aud especially young men like
myself. I recommend Ayer's Snr
