Impaired Digestion May not be all that is meant by dyspepsia now, but it will be if neglected. The uneasiness after eating, fits of nervous headache, sourness of the stomach, and disagreeable belching may not be very bad now, but they will be if the stomach is suffered to grow weaker. Dyspepsia is such a miserable disease that the tendency to it should be given early attention. This is completely over' come by Hood's Sarsaparilla which strengthens the whole digestive system

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. A man who boasts that nobody can change his mind, usually has not much mind to change. Nothing looks as ugly as a strange crowd of people. It is wonderful how much time some folks spend learning nothing. How gullible we all are. We often wonder why everybody calls just whenwe are busiest. Nearly every day we hear some new kind of a lie. On one thing we nearly all agree, and that is that we are all poor. A man will admit that he pays a good deal of attention to what his wife says, if it will help him out of something that he can’t get out of very well any other way. The only time we are real glad that we do not have to depend on church charity is' when we see the contribution box passed for the poor. The hardest person to convince is one who doesn’t know what you are talking about. Every time we get up early and see how much time it gives us, we make up our mind to do it every morning and keep the resolution till the next morning, when we forgot all about it. There is no use in trying to get out of paying your debts. They will show up every time there is a chance. On amateur programs many numbers are “selected/’ but they have to show us. We always envy a working man his appetite when he eats a cold dinner out of a dinner bucket. The biggest cigars are not always the best. A woman will get a letter and go on getting dinner before reading it. No matter how trifling a man is, he swells up if asked advice. Some people like to run funerals. Half the gossip you hear is not true, and the rest is doubtful. Some things seem easy till you try to do them. Every day we run across somebody who is mean in money matters. Ever notice how anxious you get for your mail when the train is late ?

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

Johnny's Composition on the Beaver and Other Things. The beaver is an animal with sharp teeth and a tail like a large omelet. It inhabits watery places and is very fond of its young, of which it usually has several. The beaver is very industrious and acquires great skill in the use of its tail, with which it plasters its dwellings. The way a beaver operates is as follows: It selects a large tree growing on the banks of a brook or some similar stream and then gnaws the tree till it falls across the stream, thus forming a dam. It is not wrong to say dam when you are speaking of beavers. We should never indulge in profane swearing if we can avoid it. We should ever remember the lessons we learned at the knee of our dear parents when we were little, but a beaver dam is far different. When my grandfather was a boy, he went to school where there was nothing but prairie, and the boys whispered because the teacher could not find any switches and had a boil on his hand. One day the teacher took a dried beaver’s tail out of his desk and spanked the whole school with it, and it didn’t leave a mark on the beaver’s tail, but there never was any more whispering. My grandfather is blind in one eye, but his memory is good. The beaver is becoming very scarce, and you have to go to the Field museum to see one now.—Johnny in Chicago Record. _ A Young Hero. When the water was high over its banks in Brush creek, near Deshler, 0., July 5, nearly all the boys in town went to the creek to take a swim. One of the boys, James Spangler, was pulled under by the current. Frank Michael, a boy of thirteen, made a dive after him from a bridge, bringing the drowning boy to the surface. Then a

FRANK MICHAEL.

struggle for life began. Spangler, being about twice as heavy as Michael, dragged his rescuer under the water. In some way the latter got away from the drowning boy’s grasp and caught hold of an iron rod that was a part of the bridge’s support. Bv this he managed to keep himseli and Spangler from going down again until men came to their assistance. It is reported that young Michael also saved the life of another boy in June.

Hanging Baskets For Children.

A great many of the little girls and boys who live in towns have no garden at all and perhaps not even a window box in which to grow a few pretty flowers. Many of them would enjoy growing flowers of their own. If they will follow these directions, they may cultivate a very pretty hanging basket. Let them ask the greengrocer for a carrot from which the top foliage has not been cut away. Cut away the carrot, leaving only about a couple of inches at the end where it joins the fern. Scoup out the inside of this short piece of carrot and pour a little water into it. Then hang up this little bowl, still leaving the foliage upon it At first the fern will appear to be growing upside down, but after a time it grow upward in the right direction. Fill the hollow part with water frx>m time to time, as the watc dries up, and occasionally place the carrot end in a different position, for the side.nearest the window will grow thicker and quicker than that which has less light.

Japanese Girls and Boys.

Japanese girls and boys are as clever as jugglers with their bouncing balls. While keeping thein going they play at posture dancing, spinning round, clapping their hands, passing a fan over and under the ball, catching it on the backs of their hands and guiding it round the room or along the road at srilL' They would make pretarpkstares for a cinematograpiMftywThe Ledger Monthly.

When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts its matchless healing power, blood diseases, skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.
