They are tiny, sugar-coated granules, easy to take, and are gently aperient, or actively catliarlic, according to size of dose. As a laxat ivc, only one tiny Pellet is required. ' The “Pellets” cure Sick Iloadache, Bilious Headache, Constipation, Indi gestion, Bilious Attacks, and all de rangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels. , ., The “Pellets” are purely vegetable, and operate without disturbance to the system, diet, or occupation, T*i». Ptovra'a Pallets nro Dr. Pierce's Pellets are the cheapest pill, fold by druggists, because they are guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or their price (25 cents a vial) is refunded. 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.

If a squad of the Canadian mounted police were suddenly to appear on Broad, way in their gaudy uniforms they wonld make quite a sensation. These strap ping fellows are scattered all over the Cauadiun northwest in barracks at the principal settlements. They number a thousand, are splendidly mounted and are quite a feature in the life of the northwest territories. Half a dozen of them may always be seen at the more important stations on the line of the Canadian Pacific railroad, where they form quite an attraction for tourists, un til they cease to be a novelty. Tiieir uniform is one of the gaudiest ever donned by a police force. On their heads they wear a black flat cap rnnch like a skull cap, with a broad yellow border, and a leather strap fastened to its sides and resting on their chins. Their jackets are a bright red, with a profusion of gilt buttons, and their trou sera are black, with broad yellow side stripes. They always wear spurs and generally a belt full of cartridges, and make quite a striking appearance. "Our life is not such a very easy one, said one of them the other day. "To bo sure we do not drill much, except in the early part of onr service, but we have a good deul of barrack work to perform and every little while we are sent on a hunt after horse thieves or other crimi nals, or down south to the Indian reser vation to settlesomo little trouble among the Indians." “Do you wear this uniform when yon are chasing horse thieves?” the police man was asked. "Your red jackets must advertise your presence on these flat prairies ns far us the eye can reach.’’ "Oh. no," he replied. “When we are off on a hunt for criminals, we dress eu tirely in black. Sometimes we are gon, for two or three weeks on this service Occasionally we take a week’s ration', with ns, bnt we do not like to burdeD ourselves on a rapid march with heavy haversacks, and when possible wo rely for food upon any settlements which lie in the direction we are taking. As a rule, we are successful in catching critu inals, even when they have some days the start of ns. On these great plains they cannot conceal themselves ns they might in timbered countries, and, more over, they find it necessary to visit some settlement or ranch for food, and if they nppear at any town the telegraph is quite sure to put us on their track.” The pay of the Canadian mounted po lice is thirty dollars a month and found. They first enlist for a period of five years, and the government is glad to re- »ulist them for three years longer at ad, vanccd puy. Some of the northwestern territories are very anxions to become provinces, bnt even when tiiis change in their form of government takes pace it is probable that the system of nionnted police will be continued for many years yet. The territory they police is enor mous, and so long as it ia thinly settled uo other means of preserving the peace and bringing criminals to justice is likely t< prove so economical uml ef fective. Many of them re-enlist at the end of their term of service. They are nil tall, well developed fellows nml fine speci mens of manly health and vigor.

IOMMAwItt ' <k A Smrll Cyclone at tlie Falla. Buffalo visitors at the Clifton House on Sunday were the spectators of an at mospheric commotion at the falls tho like of which has not been seen within the memory of the oldest inhabitant Between 0 aud 7 o'clock heavy black clouds appeared as the hernld of what proved to lie a cyclone of no small pro portions, though fortunately it left com paratively little destruction of property and no loss of life in its track. Observers from the piazza r,f the Ulifton House soon saw that th* first force of the wind was being felt at the bottom of the ra vine and under th* Candian falls. It lifted ap the immense hank of spray that drenches the paasengersof the Maid (if the Mist when they approach too near, and carried it up above the falls in a huge swirl that resembled the belching smoke from some lofty chimney. For a few moments it was so cleur of spray under the fulls that one could see where the mighty waves of water strike the river beneath. For several minutes this phenomenon lasted, and left an impres sion on tho awe stricken spectators that will never be forgotten. At this time, also, the river near and below Lewiston was being lashed into foam by the fury of the winds, which seemed to exert their force at first from the river and then np the banks.—Buffalo Commer cial HARMLESS.

A similar resolution has now been taken by Ms second son, Lawrence, so named in honor of Mr. Irving's old friend, John Law- reuce Toole. Lawrence Irving was destined for tbs diplomatic service, as his elder brother was for the bar, and with that viow was sent to BL Peters burg some time sgo to lcara languages. Bat the bent in bis esse also for the stage has proved so strong that Mr. Irving, remembering what a “desirable profes sion” it has been for himself, has not felt justified in opposing bis withes. It has been arranged that Lawrence Irving shall join F. K. Benson's touring com pany in tbs antnmn. Meanwhile, as an tmateur, be it to take part next week in some fashionable theatricals now being organised at Wimbledon by Mrs. Leo Schuster.
