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.

Pa»j Electroplate.!.
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*."—

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."
