Hits the nail on the head [-—on® of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant PelHets. .They do the right thing in the right way. They cleanse and regulate the liver, stomach and bowels —thoroughly and^ effectively but mildly and gently. They pepsuade, rather than force. One tinw, sugarcoated Pellet’s a gentle laxative; three to four act' as a cathartic. They’.re the smallest, but the best. There’s less to take, but there’s more good in it, when it’s taken. They’re the original Little Liver Pill, and they’ve never been equaled. Sick Headache, Bilious’ Headache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and all derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels, are p-eVentcd, relieved, and cured. They’re the cheapest pill you can buy, because they’re guaranteed to giA e satisfaction, or your money is returned. J

Before the cause of consumption was known (that was only a few years ago) we did not know how Scott’s Emulsion of coddiver oil did so much good in consumption and in the conditions that lead to consumption.

Poor Briitn. A party of hunter* on the Florida coast came suddenly upon a bear plow ling about <i bench, <md gravely inspecting such articles as wer ' brought up by the waves, which were richer than usual in plunder from the fact that there had recently been a severe storm. The author of “Wild Sports in the South” thus describes Bruni s treatment of such wreckage: He would first look at an article, then smell it, touch it with his paw, and finally, after deliberately seating j himself, with his hind legs projecting ' in front, turn his head on one side, i and try to crack his new acquisition with his teeth. The burlesque grav- 1 ity of his manner was indescribable. | He threw away a cocanut, as being too hard to chew, ate an orange with

great satisfaction, and presently discovered a small cask, which he endeavored to open. By dint of much biting he enlarged the bunghole, so ! that lie could insert a paw; then he held the cask on one arm, and kept the other paw busy in rapid journeys thence to his mouth. But this method of getting at the > contents did not satisfy him ' and presently, standing erect vn < his hind teet, he inserted his nose in j the barrel, and then his head. Now a beat s nose is so sharp that it goes through a small place very easily, but owing to the heavy folds of skin about the neck, and the fact that the hair and ears are set backward, it does not possess the same facility for coming out. Bruin was fast. He began to pull । back, but as he«pulled, the barrel; came back with him, and as he rolled on his back, pawing ineffectually at its convex sides, it merely reveled about his head, as if it were on a pivot. Then, alarmed by the sound of our laughter, he took fright and

ian, wearing the cask on his head like a helmet. I’p the hill he rushed, lost all sense of direction, and rolled head over heels squarely among us. Picking himself up, he reared, and began growling and waving his paws, but he was speedily released by one of the negroes, who broke the barrel with a blow from his club, and scattered the mackerel with which it had been tilled. The bear rewarded him for this service with a blow of the paw which laid him on the sands, and in another second was himself stretched there by the discharge of two rifles. Slavonic CukSoiii. It is customary in Polish villages to strew straw over the Christmas Eve supper tables, and for the young people, blindfolded or in the dark, to pick out each a straw therefrom. , bhonld the straw be green, the luckv maiden expects to wear a bridal wreath, or the youth to lead a bride to the altar during the approaching year: but a dried straw fortells long I waiting, possibly even until death. In other rural Polish districts

• •• ' ’ • *••*<•* 1 VIGMI u m f H IS, wine, beer and water are plac d bv a U»vl She then ret ires into a corner or an adjoining room to watch the result reflected in a glass hung for this purpose. If, as the clock strikes midnight. a man enters and drinks the wine, she is happy, for her wooer will be rich. Should he drink the beer, she may be content, for the wooer will be ‘•well-to-do.’' If the water be chosen, her husband will be very poor. But if, as the clock strikes, no man comes to her table, the anxious maiden shivers with more than midnight terror, believing that she is doomed to be early the bride of death. Poland is peculiarly rich in these observances, spreading themselves throughout the year, both sexes being equally superstitious in this respect. On New Year's Eve the young unmarried men place themselves before a tire, and bending down look between their legs. Should a woman appear in the background, it is the one they will marry: but if they see a shape as of a coffin it forbodes for them death during the year close at

hand. Suggestive Contrasts. The city of Chicago has 400 churches and not one public bath.

t ' Cotton Is Not King. Tihe Raisers of cotton are realizing the losses attendant upon over-production. They gathered the largest harvest on record in 1891, but instead of bringing them prosperity, as would naturally be expected, they are worse off than if the crop had been materially smaller. The supply is far greater than the demand, and prices have been reached which put pioflts out of the question. Cotton is no longer king, and the demand for a diversity of crops on the cotton belt is i one that must be complied with if plant- . ers would secure luerative^eturns. there was more than twice as much , cotton produced last year as during the | best season enjoyed in the days of slavery, and there are on hand ovjer a । million bales more than the entire an- ; nual requirement of the world. This goes to show that free labor and improved methods have accomplished Munn hnf + ... « i .

j muon, out the vital question of making the great Southern staple a profitable one i 8 farther from practical solution than ever. • It is inevitable that the area of cotton culture must be reduced. Otherwise prices will continue to decline, and they have already reached figures which mean heavy losses on a sale of the ag- ' gregate supply. i The convention of planters at Memphis, । earnestly urged a judicious limitation of acreage, and the taking of needed steps ; to that end. The partiality of Southerners for the cultivation of this one staple has led to a folly that calls for reformation. The soli of that section of the country is adapted to the raising of the chief cereals, and they would not only prove a source of profit in themselves but serve to increase the profit in cotton by diminishing its production. Even ; to utilize a larger portion of the land for stock raising and grazing purposes would improve the existing situation. Ihe chief difficulty in bringing about the needed change is a want of co-oper-ation. FoY several years there has been a tacit understanding that the acreage devoted to cotton would bo reduced, but each planter, hoping to benefit through the. diminished supply of his neighbor,

। has increased rather than lessened his । crop. The result reached is inevitable, , । and shows the people of the South that they must unite in meeting the demands of the situation. Otherwise they can- ; not^hopo or expect to prosper in their i agricultural pursuits; for, with more cotton on hand thairthe world can use, , and with prices lees than the cost of t production, a sweeping loss is inevit- , । aide. The planters must diversify their i crops or go out of business.

The claim has been frequently made in these columns that Reid’s German Cough and Kidney Cure contains no I oison ami can bo given to children without the slightest danger. This is a great thing to say, because the ordinary cough remedy contains opiates or narcotics, ami many a child has been overcome by too great a dose. In order to settle this question for Reid’s German Cough and Kidney Cure we have submitted the eq^se to Mr. Chas. B. Allaire, th^head of the well-known pharmaceutical house of Allaire, Woodward <t Co., tlw largest drug millers in Central Illinois and one of the leading houses in the West. Mr. Allaire fs a practical chemist, a microscopist of learning and authority, and a gentleman of wealth an I standing. After a full and careful cxaminatfoM he says: “I am acquainted with the formula of Rti » s German Cough and Kii>n :y Cure, and know that the claim that Is made—it contains no opiate or any deleterious drug is strictly true. It is an exceedingly, valuable remedy, and I am glad to know that it is meeting with such a large sale.” Mr. Allaire is in no way interested in the Sylvan Remedy Co., and- his high character makes this testimony of value.
