ed was a dose of Dr. Pierre's Pleasant
Pellets. 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

rangements of the Liver, Stomach and
Bowels. , .,
The “Pellets” are purely vegetable,

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.

Aftnr KrlMoor* In Canada's Northw.it.
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. MobI

Such complexions as so many of our
young ladies possess—dull, pimply, and
covered with sores and blackheads, is
enough to cool the ardor of the warmest
lover. To such young ladies we would
say, that you can never have a soft, fair,
smooth, attractive, kissablo complexion,
unless your blood is healthy and pure,
for the condition of the blood decides
the complexion Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will purify your
blood, tone up your system, and drive
away those distressiug headaches and
backache, from which you suffer period-
ally, and give you a complexion a lilyor
rose-leaf might envy.

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

Three Irvlnge on the Stage.
It has been known for some time past
that Mr. Irving’s elder son, Henry, is
about to go upon the stage. 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. Henry Irving, Jr., it will he
remembered, joins Mr. Hare’s company
at the Garrick.—London Star.
