THE AMERICUS PAIL TiMES-KECOK PER: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1891. carrmcnrmao Goes right to the epot —one of Dr, Pierce’s Pleasant Pel lets. They do the right kind of work when they get there, too. No violence, no unpleasantness—but mild and gentle cleansing and regn- lating of tho wholo system. Sick Headache, Bilious Headache, Dizzi ness, Constipation, Indigestion, Bit ious Attacks, and all derangements of tho liver, stomach and bowels, aro promptly relieved and permanently cured. They’re the best Liver Pill ever made. Purely vegetable, per fectly harmless, easiest to take, and always fresh and reliable. Gently aperient, or strongly cathartic, ac cording to size of dose—one tiny “ Pellet ” for a dose. Thcy’ro the smallest in size, but tho most satis factory in result. Thcy’ro tho cheapest pill you can buy, because thcy’ro guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. You only p3y for the good you get. Can you ask more '< This is the way with the Ball corset: if you want ease and shapeliness, you buy it—but you don’t keep it unless you like it. After two or three weeks’ wear, you can return it and have your money. Comfort isn't all of it though. Soft Eyelets, and "bones” that can’t break or kink—Ball’s corsets * have both of these.

A freak of lightning probably more re markable than any hitherto recorded, has occurred near the smal| village of New Salem, Vt., at the toot of the flel- deberg mountains. Arent 3. Vandyck occupies an old mansion, in the parlor of which hang a collection of Revolu tionary awords, one of which was heav ily plated with silver, A terrific thunder storm came at night, and one terrible crash aroused the household. All were stunned for a moment, but recovering they hastened to discover what dumuge was done. Suddenly the younger Vandyck point ed to an old fashioned sofa. Upon it lay what was apparently the silver image of a cat curled up in an exceedingly com fortable position. As far as the shape and posture of tho animal were con cerned it might have been a live cat Each glittering hair was separate and distinct, and each silvery bristle of the whiskers described a graceful curve as in life. Father and son turned toward the swords which hnng upon the wall just above the sofa and tbero saw that the sword had been stripped of all its ail ver. Tho hilt was gone and the scab bard was but a strip oi blackened steel. Tho family cat had been electroplated by lightning. In one of the panes of glass in the win dow was found a round hole about the size of a half dollar, where the lightning had evidently entered. There was a chnrred streak across the sash where the electrical fluid had made its way to the sword, down which it had passed to the cat, carrying with it tho silver which it deposited upon the animal. Of course tho cat was instantly killed, and there fore remained in tho position in which it was quietly sleeping when the flash came. It is thought the plating of tho cat's body will prevent decay, and that prob ably it may bo retained among the col lection of curiosities, tho most remark able of them all. Local scientists are puzzled and one of the members of the Albany institute is investigating the case.—Cor. St Louis Republic. Things to Do In Hot Weather. A few rules as to how to keep cool may not come amiss. Wear a nicely starched high collar. Wall: rapidly np and down State street in the middle of the day to match a piece of ribbon for a suburban acquaintance. Climb six flights of stairs during the honr when the ele vator Is not running to keep an appoint ment with a friend who has been sud denly called from town. Scold as hard as you can at everybody and everything, and fan yourself with a large Japanese fan in the meantime. Chaso a street car half a block, to be finally told by the ut terly depraved conductor to take the next one. Get into a bos at tho depot and wait fifteen tninntes for the driver to get through bis conversation with a friend, while the bridge tnrns and yon experience tho sensation of being "left,” Go to a horse race. Spend an after noon in a circus tent. Help your wife chase files. Leap at a 2:tOJ gait to catch a train. Drink beer. Listen to yonr wife say "I told yon sol" when you on- counter the fate that awaits the devour- er ot encumbers. Wear tight shoes. Go ■hopping. Ride in tho same bos with the woman who carries cat tails and pokes them into your eye. Go to the matinea Watch the elderly woman chew gum. Toy with • gasoline stove. Escort city friends through tho ravines searching for wild flowers. Disturb a nest of hornets under tho supposition that it is a beautiful fungus.—Chicago Herald. To Propagate Common Senae. Some of tho fnshionablo women of Berlin have formed themselves into a society “for the prevention of crimo against common sense" in the matter of dress. In particular do they inveigh against the dlscomforta of the corset, which in Germany is mads longer and stiffer and altogether more abominable than anywhere else. Men are admitted to membership, and are urged to miti gate by precept and example various stipulated enormities of their own at tire. One clanse in the circular reads, “Male members are respectfully request ed to teach their brethren that tronser patterns are unfit for morning coats, waistcoats and Inverness overcoat*."— Her Point of View in New York Times SAM ROUTE.

A Child's Lucky Fall. The two-year-old child of Mrs. Nntty, of Parkersburg, W. Va., has had a most remarkable escape from death. The lit- tlo one was playing about the month of a well, and getting too near the edgo lost its balanco and fell in. Tbs well was ■ixty-two feet deep and so norrow that a fall grown person conld not well de scend. A six-year-old boy finally de scended, and catching the little one's clothing, held tightly to it until they were both palled oat again. Neither waa hart, and the little two-year-old tot was playing about as usnal an hour af terward. In the fall the child bad not touched the sides and the water at the bottom saved her life.—Philadelphia Ledger. Occupies the Steps. Pittsburg has a man who U a puzzle. Saturday afternoqa he planted himself on the front steps of the city hsll. He never moved away from the ptaco for a mo ment until twenty-four honr* later, when he left for about half an honr to got something to eat. Then he returned and has been keeping his silent vigil at the same stand day and night ever since. A policeman asked him to move on, bnt he insisted that he waa bothering no one and had as much right to (it on the steps of the city bail aa any other man in the city. He speaks to no one unless ad dressed.—Exchange. The Ll(htel»(-S Queer Freak. Lightning does some queer things, bnt nothing like the following, perhsps, ha* ever before been attributed to it: “A streak of Grand Rapids (Mich.) light ning followed an electrio light wire into the children’s department of Bt. Mark's hospital, coolly tamed on the gas, light ed it and left tor parts unknown."
