A homely subject that at tracted MOST ATTENTION. THE AMERIOUS DAILY TJM ES-RECOL DER: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1891. copyright (89o After dinner, if you have discomfort and suffer ing, take Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, or Anti-Bilious Granules. They’re made to assist Nature in her own way—quietly, but thor oughly. What the old-fashioned pill did forcibly, theso do mildly and gently. They do more, too. Their effects arc lasting; they regulate the system, as well as cleanso and renovate it. One little Pellet’s a gentle larative; three to four act as a cathartic. They’re the smallest, cheapest, the easiest to take. Unequaled as a Liver Pill. Sick Headache, Bilious Head- ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bil ious Attacks, and all derangements of the stomach and bowels, are promptly relieved and permanently cured. They’re the cheapest pill you can buy, because they’re guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. You only pay for the good you get. Can you ask more? This is the way with the Ball corset; ii 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. Forsaleby GEO. D.

IVliaf She Knew About “Rained Bread.**ami the Ap|»lau»« That Greeted the Readlut; of ller K»»*y Eclipsed That Given to All Others. “Well, 1 don’t care if them other girls are going to write about ‘Thought.' and The Marble Stan’s Waitin' n' '(ienniH. and all them other thing* my M'raudy can't nay much that's **difyiti on them subject*. tln> it’* my opimou she couhl if she trie«l But ahe can make lieautifui nz bread, ami she's goin’ to tell them how to d>» it.’ With tin* expression of faith iti •M’rainlyV* power*. Mr*. McGillicmMy gave au em*»h;vtH* twist t<» the garment she was wringing out of the Hud* The subject first under discunaion was of no small importance iu the village for it related to the graduating exercises at the village high nchool With but one exception, the boys and girls in the class sought topics that would “sound well” ami make a good show in the daintily printed programmes One of the young ladies began to write on “Twilight Thoughts:” another chose a* her subject ••Destiny:’* another wrote at the head ot the first page “Every Cloud Has Its .Silver Lining." Of course each one soon learned what subject* bad been chosen by the other members of the class, and loud were the complaints wheu it was known what Mi randa McOillicuddy proposed to write about. It was agreed that the class would go down luto history forever dis graced. ••But you see,” said Miranda. “1 don’t know anything at all al>oiit these high toned subjects that the rest of you have 1 couldn’t say one word about them that would be worth hearing, hut 1 think 1 do know how to make bread, and I’m sure that many in the ami mure will be interested to know some of the quirk* and the twists that turn out a handsome loaf.’’ “Well.” said another, “1 envy yon the abundance of things you can say about it.'hut it’s so awfully commonplace; why, it'*—it's as commonplace as—eat ing?” an interesting essay. Graduating day at last arrived, with its flutter of excitement, its flowers, its proud fathers and mother* and sympa thizing friends and its somewhat envious lower clusses. First came the salutatory, which was listened to with marked attention, as would be the case even with a thought ful paper ou the “Identity of Identity and Nonideutity”—if it came first on the programme. Then came an oration on “Greece,” by a boy, followed by an essay on “Phi loaephy.” By this time there were signs of rest lessness, and some quiet whispering go iug on among such as were uot carefully polite. Fortunately music came in at this point, after which the audience was invited to listen to some “Twilight Thoughts.” Then appeared the “Cloud* that was supposed to have a “Silver Lining,” but which certaiuly cast no gleam over the audience. This condition, ntrauge to say, seemed to be intensified when “Hope” appeared. At this point the presiding officer an nounced an essay on “Raised Bread,” by Miss Miranda McGillicuddy. The eager Interest that came luto ev ery face in the andience was quite hu miliating to those who had already ap peared ou the stage, and still more hu miliating was the close attention that was suddenly paid to tv try word that was said. The essay discussed the importance of good bread in a hygienic point of view— the effect which a “flat” biscuit fre quently has upon the disposition of the eater, as well ns upon his stomach; the nutritious and uonnutritious qualities of ration* kinds of flour, and the whole method of procedure, from the making of yeast, through the successive stages of mixing, working, raising, reworking molding and bakiug till that consum mate flower of good housekeeping ap- peared—a light, nutritious aud delicious loaf of bread TUE JUDGE’S REMARKS. Not one word was lost by the andience from liegintiing to end. The ladles were chiefly interested, perhaps, but men lis tened very attentively too. When the reading was finished the essay was given the heartiest applause of the evening. After the programme bad been fiuished and the audience was preparing to de part, Judge Gildersleeve, chairman ot the school committee and the most im portant citizen of the town, rose to make a few remarks, and this was what he said: ••ruMr*) th« sadicnc* *H*v»r*es, I have v suggestion to make, chiefly for the beuefit of those who may belong to the graduating classes of the future. If yon wiali, in prupariug a graduating essay or oration, to interest your audience—and it is ueedles* to say that you do—let your remarks apply to a period not later at least than a hundred years ago. und better still if they apply fou time not later than a hundred days ago. And let them l»e on a subject ill which you ait* interested, and in winch your andience is interested, however homely it uiny ap pear. “It is not necessary that it should be on the |-hiper way to bake bread, like the very interesting, practical and well written paper to which we have just lis tened. or on the right way to make a bed, which would be another good sub ject; but it would far better be on thene subjects, if yon know what you are writing about, than upon Time. Genius or Tlie Ideal, even thongb yon treat them thoughtfully. We are a practical people, and we like to be approached upon the plane of our everyday life. We are greatly inter ested in oar schools and scholars, bat we want to see you with your feet—both of them—on the ground, which preclude* the possibility of your heads being among the cloud*.”—Webb Donnell teYoBtbk for Infants and Children. ••Castort*>soweU*dajKedtochik kithst I recommend It as superior to any prescription known to nrfc" H.
