PICTURESQUE PERU. HOST INTERESTING OF SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES. Mines of Fabulous Value and Mar velous Engineering Monuments Devasted by Wars—A Ricb Land's Possibilities. From an historical standpoint Peru is the most interesting of South American | countries. To Peru came the viceroys of Spain, representatives of the king, hold ing regal powers, and from Peru Spain ruled all her American colonies. The civilization of the Incas was at the high est point when, in 1532, Francisco Pizarro with a handful of adventurers V, subjugated the whole country and took $15,000,000 of gold from the temples. ! The ruins of cities, the inscriptions on monuments, the remains of bridges built by the Incas, all show that they attained a degree of culture and civilization that , might truly be envied by the old knights who so basely betrayed and conquered them. The island cities of Lake 'litica ca, the temples of Cuzco, tho Incas' high way, the stone bridges across the yawn ing abysses of tho Amies show a skill in engineering and an advancement in sub stantial architecture not excelled by tho crusaders who brought Christianity and destruction to the Incas. Cullno, with its well equipped Dar ccna at which ships are loaded and dis charged, is the principal seaport of Peru. It was some fifty years ago that the old city of Callao was submerged by a tidal wave and completely buried from sight i beneath the Pacific. Even now on a cleat day with a calm sea the old city can be distinctly sceu at the bottom of , v the bay, oil ban Lorenzo, and the super- T stitious can hear of a quiet moruiug the ringing of the church bells under the water, the chanting of mass by the priests. Callao has seen better days. Since tho bombardment of the place by tho Chilian fleet in 1880 it has presented an aspect rather seedy. Tho path of the cannon ball through walls can be plainly seen and the evidences of visiting bul lets to upper stories and under-roof decorations arc apparent. Peru has been impoverished by intest ine strife and made helpless by war with her neighbor, Chili. Lnable to pay in terest on her bonds, powerless to obtain further loans, she was compelled to ac cept tho proposition of the English bond holders in 1889. This was an arrange ment for the cancellation of the external debt, in pursuance of which Peru sur renders 780 miles of railroad, grnnts con cessions for building others, surrenders valuablo guano deposits and the rich a mine" of Cerro del Pusco to the bond holders, who for their part agree to com plete, by further expenditures, the rail roads projected by the state (500 miles), and to return tho securities in prime order ut the end of sixty-six years. The mines of Cerro del Pasco, toward which the road is building, are fabulous ly rich, having yielded millions to the Incas and to the Spaniards. The Oraya railroad from Lima through the Andes to Eastern Peru and tho Amazon headwaters shows some of the most mar velous feats of modern engineering— highest point at Monte Meiggs, 17,554 feet abovu sea level. Muny of the con tractors and engineers are Americans, so that ono meets more hero than in Chili who can claim the protection of the old Sag. At the opening of the great Chicla bridge, a veritable engineering triumph, 12,220 feet above the sea,both the United States and Peruvian flags floated in the breczo. Peru owes to Americans many I of her bast public buildings aud most im * portant improvements. From Callao to Lima by rail is a most delightful ride—past fields of gruin fenced in by great udobe walls, through orchards of fruit nnd groves of bananas and spreading palra trees, past old Span ish hacienda houses, long stretches of lawn, the luxuriant vegetation of the tropics, with the mountains before you, tho sen behind. Lima, the capital, the centre from which everything Peruvian radiates, the Paris of Peru, has a population of say 110,000 souls. Lima has Bixty-eight churches, a bull-ring and many theatres. Pizarro himself, after capturing Ata haulpa and taking possession of all the fold in the country, laid out the City of itma and expended the greater part of his private fortune in decorating and en riching her parks and nlumedas. The cathedral occupies one side of the Plaza de Armas; the Palacio or Oasa Verde (greon house), tho residence of Peru's president nnd officers of the army, navy, otc., taking another, while the remain ing sides are tuken up by hotels and stores. From the cathedral towers pro ject two beams from which in 1872 the brothors Gutierrez, the tyrannical rulers of Peru, were hanged by an infuriated i populace—afterwards the bodies were thrown to the plaza below and burned amidst general rejoicing. Tho cathedral is very Targe, with a very rich altar nod many old and valuable paintings. There are no preferred pews—poor and rich kneel on the bard stone floor at their devotions. The popes are all here—a painting of each down to Pio Nono. Be hind the altar is a magnificent choir— walls and ceilings of richly carved wood and around three sides carved seats, each fit for a throne. Under the altar rests the bones of the mighty Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru. I'izarro was treach erously murdered in the Uasa Verde, just across the plaza from the cathedral. When wo descended with our sandaled and shaven guide to the last resting place of the great man, we found candles burning nnd mass being said by the priests as on the day of his funeral in the sixteenth century. The most interesting building in Lima is the Church of San Pedro, erected in 1638, and having many old paiutiugs, some old musters, and eight richly furnished nltars. To Sun Pedro go the rich aud the poor to be healed by prayer at the shrines aud by touching the figure of somo saint. A picture it was, indeed, to see a poor woman carry a lame boy to a reclining figure of Christ aud rub a sponge first over the image and then, over the log of the hoy, whom she lifts up to the shrine. The picture would be incomplete without seeing the woman's fuce that showed a faith absolute in the efficacy of the remedy. How many changes this old church has seen ! What bloody revolutions! The captains of the galleons that carried to Castile treasures of gold nnd Bilvcr; the mighty Inca chiefs converted, have all confessed to the priests of San Pedro. The glory of Lima is the exposition park and botanical gardens covering many acres, planted with rare trees, shrubs and flowers, laid out in walks and lawns and landscapes. The grand pnlnce of the exposition, a large building of white stucco with many statues in its niched walls, the President's villu, where "his excellency" lunches when he favors the place with his presence, the kiosks, i summer houses, pagodas, the artificial ■ m lakes, the bridges across running streams J were all made during the time of the I celebrated Henry Meiggs when Peru was I rolling in wealth. When the Chilians , ? occupied Lima in 1883 they sent away to 1 I J Santiago and Valparaiso many of the marble statues and fine paintings from the exposition buildings. Tho Chil ians committed many outrages during their occupancy of the city. They stabled their horses in the splen did halls of the national library, the common soldiers used priceless manu scripts to cook their beans. Whatever iu Lima, in private house or public building, took the fancy of a Chilian was shipped to Chili. The soldiers roamed like wild beasts about the city, rifling houses, and for several years the wives and sweethearts of Chili's warriors wore the finest silks and the richest jewelry to be found in Peru. The lions, tigers aud elephants from the exposition were sent to Chili, but, the climate be ing more severe than in Peru, the animals all died. Revolutions are frequent in Peru, as in other Spanish-American republics. However, everything is quiet this mouth and a revolution has not occurred since the 3d of December last. On that day, at 5 in the afternoon, au insurrection was attempted in Fort Santa Catalina by the general of artillery and his party. By 10 o'clock the President, Don Gonzalo Ber mudcz, had shot 130 of the conspirators and dumped the bodies into one great hole—a common grave. Since this little target practice tho Peruvians rather hes itate about beginning another effort to overthrow tho government, though an outbreak of the Pierola party is daily ex pected. Someone has said that Peru is blessed by God and cursed by man. In minerals, i in dye stuffs, in drugs, in soil, iu agricul tural possibilities Peru is the richest couutry in the world. If an immigration of active, pushing, enterprising people sets in toward Peru it will certainly have a great future. The present landed pro prietors art like tho noblemen of South ern Europe—they make few improve ments, embark little capital in manufac tures or machinery, do not educate the lower classes. A little less romance nnd blood, a great deal more education of the masses, will make Peru the greatest of South American republics.—[Detroit Free Press. Von Moltke's Recipe for Old Age. On the occasion of Count Moltke's ninetieth birthday, a Viennese educa tional society had the good idea to ask a number of eminent men who had at tained a 'ripe old age' as to the best way to grow old. Fourteen men, whose combined ages amounted to 1,100 years, answered the questions put to them, and of these answers the most interesting were those supplied by Count Moltke. We give the questions, together with the nonagenarian's answers, iu full: 44 1. At what age did your school ing begin, nnd how many hours a day did you study?—ln 1308, when I was eight years old, I learned four hours a day; after 1810 I studied ten hours every day. "2. Was your health during youth delicate or strong?—l was of a tough nature. 44 3. Were you brought up in town or in the country?—ln the country, up to my tenth year. "4. How many hours daily did you spend in the open air? Regularly?—lr regularly, and only a few hour 9. "5. Did you have athletic and other physical exercises?—No methodical ones. 11 0. How many hours did you sleep?— Ten. 44 7. Special observations?— Joyless youth, scanty food, away from home. "8. Did you finish your education in town or in the country?—ln town. | 4 9. How many hours of mental work daily?— Differed greatly. 44 10. Do you attribute a favorable influence on your health to a special manner of living?— Moderation in all habits; outdoor exercise in all weathers; no day entirely spent indoors. u ll How long did you sleep?— About eight hours on the average. 44 12. What changes in your daily habits did you make ou the approach of a riper age?— None. 44 13. How long daily did you work in your fiftieth, sixtieth, seventieth, and eightieth year?— That depended on cir cumstances, often very long. 44 14. What were your recreations? —Riding on horseback up to tho age of eighty-six. 44 15. How many hours do you spend in the open air?—At present half the day, during the summer, on my estate. 44 10. How long do you sleep?— Eight hours still. 44 17. What are your habits with re gard to taking food?—I eat very little, and substitute concentrated nourish ment. 44 18. To what reason do you prim arily ascribe your healthy old age? (iu which may God preserve you!)—To God's grace and moderate habits." When War Songs Meant Something. A veteran of the civil war, in speak ing of the effect of war-songs, recently said: 44 1 have been with the column, march ing along roads which were muddy, when the men looked like anything but human beings, as they crawled along splashed from head to foot with dirt, tlieir clothing disarranged, their pant aloons tucked iu their stockings, and their heavy brogans laden with mud. Somo strong-luuged fellow way up at the head of the column would strike up a war-song. It might be 4 Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,' or it might be 4 John Brown's Body.' In an instant he would be joined by others, and soon, away down the long road as far as the column stretched, a mighty chorus would be going up, while the men would brace up, their eyes brighteu and their footsteps lose the weary movement as they kept step to the music. Twenty-five thousand or thirty thousand men stretched out over a long distance in marching, and you can imagine the effect of such a chorus of male voices. Perhaps way off on some parallel road, a mile or two away, another column would be advancing, and this, too, would take up the re frain, aud the effect be heightened two fold. Those were the days when war songs meant something to the men who saug them."—[New York Ledger. Care of Milk and Cream. Iu milk and cream exposed to the air, bacteria readily collect and multiply rap idly. They cause the souring and curd ling of milk and induce other changes in it, while their effect on cream is to aid its 44 ripening." Dairymen let their cream ripen before churning, because their experience shows that from such cream butter 44 comes" more readily, keeps better, and is of better flavor than from sweet cream. In a recent paper on this subject, Dr. 11. W. Conn states that milk will become contaminated with bacteria if put into vessels in which par ticles of curd and grease are left stick ing in joints and on the sides. Boiling in water will kill the bacteria, but their spores or seeds can not be killed without a higher heat. Hence, to prevent the souring of milk, cans aid pans should lo set on ft stove or in tho oven a few minutes after washing. As cold ciieckt the development of bacteria, the milk should be cooled immediately after it is drawn from the cow, aud kept as cool as possible. Cream for butter, on the con trary, should be kept in a warm place, so as to favor the growth of bacteria. Dairymen sometimes add a little old cream to a fresh lot as a leaven. Acid is also added for the same purpose, but this is of doubtful use.—{Popular Science Monthly. HOW FISHES EAT. Interesting Things for the Boys and Girls to Know. Tho sea urchin has five teeth in five jaws—one in each jaw—all the five im mediately surrounding tho stomach. The jaws have a peculiar centralized motions, all turning inward and down ward. so that they also act as feeders. Snails have teeth on their tongues, hundreds of them, but, as if these were not enough, some have them also in their stomach. The cuttle-fish, which among other strange thing 9 always walks with its head downward, does not chew its food at all, but mnsticates with its gizzard. The ray, or skate, has a mouth set transversely across its head, the jaws working with a rolling motion like two hands set back to back. In the jaws are three rows of llat teeth, like a mosaic pavement, and between these rolling jaws the fish crushes oysters and other mollusks, like so many nuts. The carp's teeth are set back on tho pharynx, so tliat it may be literally said to masticate its food in the throp.t." The carp, too, is about the only cud-chewing fish, tho coarsely-swallowed food being forced up to these throat teeth for com plete mastication. Some fishes arc absolutely toothless, like the sucker and the lamprey; others again have hundreds aud hundreds of teeth, sometimes so many that they cover all parts of the mouth. The great Greenland whale has no teeth, its baleen plates, or whalebone, taking their place. Along the centre of the palate runs a strong ridge, and on each side of this there is a wide depres sion along which the plates are inserted. These are long and fiat, hanging froe and are placed across tho mouth with their sides parallel and near each other. Tho base and outer edge of the plates are of solid whalebone, but tho inuer edges are fringed, filling up the interior of tho mouth aud acting as a strainer for the food, which consists of the small swim ming mollusks aud medusie or jelly fishes. While the Greenland whale lias no teeth, the sperm whale has them in grout quantities on the lower jaw, and uses them, too, wlieu occasion requires. On the other hand the narwhal very seldom develops more than one, the left upper canine. It makes up for the lack of numbers by the extraordinary growth attained by this one tooth. It grows out and right forward, on a line with the body, until it becomes a veritable tusk, j sometimes reaching the length of ten feet. The river dolphin of South America ; has 222 teeth. The sturgeon is toothless, and draws in its food by suction, but the shark has hundreds of teeth set iu rows that some times number ten. Lobsters and crabs masticate their food with their horny jaws, and they have also sets of teeth in their stomachs, ! where they complete the work of chew ing. There is one peculiar kind of crab, called the king or horseshoe crab, which chews its food with its legs. This is an actual fact, the little animal grinding its morsels between its thighs before it passes them over to its mouth. The jelly-fish absorbs its food by wrap ping itself around the object which it seeks to make its own. The star-fish is even more accommodating. Fastening itself to tho body it wishes to feed on, it turns its stomach inside out and enwraps its prey with this useful organ. The clam feeds with a siphon, and the oyster with its beard. Marvelous Screws. It is asserted that the smallest screws iu the world are those used in the pro duction of watches. Thus, the fourth jewel wheel screw is the next thing to being invisible, and to the naked eye it looks like dust ; with a glass, however, it is seen to be a small screw, with 200 threads to the iuch, aud, with a very fine glass, the threads may be seen clearly. These screws are 4-1000ths of an inch in diameter, and the heads are double. It is estimated that an ordinary lady's thimble would hold 100,000 of these screws. No attempt is ever made to count them, the method pursued in determin ing the number being to place 100 of them on a very delicate balauce, and the number of the whole amount is de termined by the weight of these. After being cut the screws are hard ened and put in frames, about one hun dred to the frame, heads up, this being doue very rapidly by tho sense of touch instead of by sight, and the heads are then polished in an automatic machine, 10,000 at a time. The plate on which the polishing is performed is covered with oil aud a grindiug compound, and on this tho machine moves them rapidly by revers ing their motion.—[Jewelers' Weekly. A Curious Radish. Judgo Tcnsley, of Canton, Ga., has a radish of remarkable and unusual growth, not as to size but shape. It very closely resembles the right hand half closed and with the fingers pointing upward. The main stein looks very much like the palm and wrist and the five roots, different in size, the five digits of the hand. On each of these five roots is a kind of growth resembling fingernails. Judgo Teasley is a tiue gardener and farmer, and his toil in this line seems to have left a deep impress in the soil, and re produced to a certain extent the hand that has held the hoe aud guided the plow in the preparation of the soil and cultivation of the crops sewn and plan ted. This radish is a very peculiar and phenomenal one. —[Atlanta Constitu tion. Origin of Billiards. A letter has just been discovered among the archives of the British Mu seum dated as far back as the year 1750, and which gives the origin of the game of billiards us now played. The game, it appears, was invented in 1500 by a pawnbroker of the name of William Kow, in London, who was in the habit of taking down every night the three balls which hung before his shop and to push them about with his wooden yard measure on his counter. Hence tho name billiards, which is a corruption of Bill's yard.—{New York Press. More than 5,000 people were run over in London during tho year of 1880. PRECEPTS OF SAVAIUq. How Manhood's Duties are Im pressed Upon Torres Straite Isl anders. Among the western islanders of Torres Straite, boys, as soon as the approach of maturity is indicated by the appearance of hair on their faces, are taken by their fathers to a sacred spot and there in structed in the duties and diguity of manhood. A number of precepts which are taught during this probation have been collected and are published by Prof. Alfred C. Haddon. Among them are these: "You no steal." "If you see food belong another man, you no take it, or you dead." "You no take thing belong another man without leave; if you see a lish spear and take it, s'pose you break it and you no got spear, how you pay man;" "•S'pose you nee a dugong-harpoon in a canoe and take it, he uo savvy, then you lose it or break it, how you pay him? You no got dugong-harpoon." "You no play with boy ana girl now; you a man now, and no boy." "You no play with small play-canoe, or with toy-spear; that all finish now." "You no like girl lirst; if you do, the girl laugh at you and call you a woman." (That is, the young man must not pro pose marriage to a girl, but must wait for her to ask first.) "You no marry the sister of your mate, or by and by you will be ashamed; mates all same as brothers." (But "mates" may marry two sisters.) "You no marry your cousin; she all same as sister." "If any one asks for food, or water, or anything, you give something; if you have a little, give a little, if you have plenty, give half." "Look after your mother and father; never mind if you and your wife go with out." "Don't speak bad word to mother." "Give half of all your fish to your parents; don't be mean." "Father and mother all along same as food; when they die you feel hungry and empty." "Alind your uncles, too, and cousins." "If woman walk along, you no fol low; by aud by man look, he call you I bad name." "If a canoe is going to another place, you go in canoe; no stop behind to steal woman." "If your brother is going out to fight, you help him; don't let him go first, but go together."—[Popular Science Month ly- Australian Statesmen. In the Australian Federation conven tion Sir Henry Parkes was the most con spicuous figure. Fifty years ago he em igrated from Warwickshire, England, to Australia a penniless farmer. He tried farming in Australia and failed at it. lie tried other things and failed at them. One day he found himself at Sydney actually starving. As he walked along the street in despair he saw something shine. It proved to be a sixpence. This was the turning-point of his fortunes. With tho coin he bought some bread and cheese, and then, refreshed, set out once more in search of employment, lie suc ceeded in getting work as a longshore man, and since then has risen to the highest station, though still poor in money. Mauy other delegates can tell similar stories, says the Illustrated American. Few owe their rise to any other cause than native strength of char acter. J oil n Forrest, the foremost repre sentative of Western Australia,won fame as an explorer before he developed into a statesman. Twice he crossed Aus tralia by routes through wild and deso late regions that no other white man had ever succeeded in traversing. Sir George Grey was Governor at the Cape of Good Hope in difficult times, was twice Governor of New Zealand, and each time conducted a successful war against the Maoris, and wooed hardship aud adventure in the rudest forms as an explorer in We-tern Australia. The number of young men among the dele gates was a characteristic of the conven tion. With men of such mold as the makers of Australia, her future should be great. The Czar's Watch Dog. One of the striking features in tho Russian palace at Gatschina is a gieat Danish hound that stretches his power ful frame in the hall leading to tho private apartments of the Czar. This great dog, said to be the largest of its species in the world, was present ed to the Czarina about four years ago by her father, tho King of Denmark, it is said that the Czar took a liking to the animal ut the start, and never goes on any prolonged journey without its com pany. Having but little confidence in those about him, he seems to center his faith in the dog, who now sleeps at the Czar's bedroom door. For some unexplained reason the dog became very suspicious of one of the guardsmen, and growled continually wiien this man was put on duty as a sen tinel in the palace. Nothing could be shown and nothing was suspected against the man, but to satisfy the dog he was withdrawn from sentry duty. In the case of another sen tinel it is reported in St. Petersburg that the hound leaped upon him and nearly tore him to pieces the first time he saw him. The Czar, hearing the cries for help, went to the door of his apartment and hastily called the dog, which obeyed his summons. The sentinel was found to be sadly lacerated. The Czar directed that the injured man should be cared for and compensated, hut also ordered that he never be permitted to enter the palace again. The autocrat apparently has faith in the judgment of the dog, whom he has named Peter, after the founder of Russia's greatness.—[New York Press The Great Sun Dragon. It is the belief among both the ignor ant and the educated classes of China that eclipses of the sun arc caused by a great dragon which attempts to devour the centre of our solar system. The last eclipse which was visible in the Celestial Empire occurrod at a time when the peo ple were celebrating the birthday of the emperor. Now, it is the custom to cel ebrate such an event clad in the best raiment that can be afforded; it is also customary to wear sackcloth and go into mourning at the time of an eclipse, at leust until the sun has been rescued from the great dragon which seeks to devour it. Here, indeed, was a dilemma. At last the Emperor was petitioned. He being as superstitious as his people ordered his birthday ignored and com manded the people to go into mourning until tho sun shall be "rescued."—[St. Louis Republic.

A story once told by a famous Meth odist minister of a member of his flock in Kentucky will be new to mauy readers. Brother Jones was a large, florid, pompous man, so wrapped in self-con- Deit and arrogance as to be almost in tolerable to other members of the church. One elder after another had remonstrated with him upon his mon strous vanity, and reminded him that ouch pride was unbecoming to a Christian; but ho was deaf to hints or rebukes. At last, after a solemn consultation, it was resolved that the minister | should preach a sermon aimed at I Brother Jones, and at him only. No word of it was to be applicable to any pther man or woman. The rebuke was to be so severe that it was hoped ho j would be cured of conceit for the rest of his life. The day came. The church was oven more than ordinarily full of people. Many of them had come from curiosity; others hoped to see the vain man, who had often treated them in a super cilious manner, chagrined and mortified. Some of the more tender-hearted of the congregation stayed at home, not wish ing to witness his humiliation. The sermon began. Brother Jones, with a complacent expression of face, disposed himself to listen. The man's infirmity was sketched with bold, severe strokes. He smiled with lofty superi ority. As the denunciation grow more scathing, his smile deepened with a touoh of complacent pity. At the oon* elusion of the services he swaggered down the aisle. One of the elders joined him. "What did you think of the sermon, Brother Jones?" he ventured to ask. "A great effort sir! But personal. The pastor aimed his shots too directly. JPoor old Mrs. Hemingway! I feel sorry for her. But really that woman's con ceit is e-normous, sir 1" We are all ready to give over the re bukes intended for ourselves to some Mrs. Hemingway.

In a town in the far West, a crowd of i cowboys stord around a fenced en closure, beside the railroad traok. In this enclosure was confined a large bull. The cowboys wero amusing themselves I by annoying in many ways the poor brute, who was fast becoming furious. 1 Suddenly, one of their number,lightly vaulting the fence, landed squarely a<- ! tride of the bull's neck, and grasped him by the horns. The iufuriated ani mal plunged and snorted, but his rider, with wonderful agility, quickly leaped to the grouud, and before the bull could turn and gore him, sprang over tie feuce ngain to be greeted by the ap plause of his comrades. Their attention was soon diverted, however, by the arrival of a passenger train which was just drawing up to the station across the street, and the cow boys, with characteristic shouts and laughter, ran across toward the plat form. Meanwhile, the now maddened bull had succeeded in breakiug through the feuce, and with tossing head and lash ing tail was trotting across the street, bellowing as he went Just then a young man, satchel in hand, came running down the street to catch the train, passing on his way homo farmers who wero standing some dis tance irom the bull. They shouted to the young man'as he passed, "Hi, there! Stop! The bull!" but he kept OD, with a wave of the hand and an "All right! I'll look for him." The next instant the bull saw him, and with lowered horns, ran to head him off. But the young man was a fast runner. He passed just in front of the bull's head, which, the next instant, brought up with a thud against the side of the station. It was a very close shave. Dazed by the shock, the bull stood still for a moment, then turned just as two children, who had arrived on the train and had passed through the sta tion, started to cross the street. When they turned the corner of the building, they caught the animal's eye, and quick as a Hash he charged them. A cry of horror went up from the group of farmers, as the two little girls, now aware of their danger, started to run hand in hand. A stalwart young farmer soon ap peared a short distance behind them. He took in the situation at a glauco. By hard running, he overtook the bull i when but a few l'eot from the children, quickly grasped with both hands tho horn nearest him, set his feet firmly, and with one quick, strong, downward and Backward jerk, threw the animal heavily to the ground. With the help of the other farmers, who by this time had reached the spot, the bull was secured aud led away where he could do no more harm. Thus, in less time than it has taken to tell it all, occurred perfect examnles of three distinct human qualities, which in the minds of many people are often confounded—bravado, recklessness and courage.

It's a healthy movement, too — a nattcral one. The organs are not forced into activity one day, to sink back into a worse state the next. They're cleansed and regulated—mild ly and quietly, without wrench ing or griping. One tiny, sugar-coated Pellet is all that's needed as a gentle laxative; three to four act as a cathar tic. They're the smallest, cheapest, the easiest to take. Sick Headache, Bilious Head ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and all de rangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are promptly relieved and cured. "August Flower" Mr. Lorenzo F. Sleeper is very well known to the citizens of Apple ton, Me., and neighborhood. He says: " Eight years ago I was taken " sick, and suffered as no one but a " dyspeptic can. I then began tak " ing August Flower. At that time "I was a great sufferer. Every " thing I ate distressed me so that I "had to throw it up. Then in a " few moments that horrid distress " would come 011 and I would have "to eat and suffer For that "again. I took a „ .. " little of your med o "icine, and felt much Stomach "better, and after " taking a little more Feeling. " August Flower my '' Dyspepsia disap peared, and since that time I " have never had the first sign of it. "lean eat anything without the "least fear of distress. I wish all "that are afflicted with that terrible "disease or the troubles caused by "it would try August Flower, as I '' am satisfied there is no medicine "equal to it." ® BEST /Si H ROOM HO,LDER tVorIdV \ 1 ts ' i,n^l '-' 1 %c., postpaid! 1A1.1.K <il N <'o., lia/li!. ti, I'D Stu'iipK lakrn.
