It was imposBible to get angry, for they were very quiet, maintain- ing almost absolute silence as they dogged our steps. At last after a protracted ram- ble, we got back to the inn, but we did not lose the children. They calmly resumed their seats round the doorways, with an expression which seemed to say, "Strangers dn not visit us often, and there- fore we intend to have our fill now you are here." We stood this for three or four hcnirs. but at last the continued presence, and the thought that per- haps they would remain outside all night, wore on us so that we de- cided to take r.p a collection to buy up the lease the children were hold- ing of the ground. We subscribed all our spare small change, and gave something to each child, on the condition that they would go home immediately. It worked ad- mirtbly â€" for a time. For an hour we were left to our- selves; then the news spread of our generosity, and from all sides chil- dren tropped to the inn. The place I was alive with them, and they I brought their parents besides. To I have bought up the lot would have i ruined every man of u.s. We had to grin and bear it. After the house was shut up we could still hear the visitors keeping vigil outside. I PILES CUReFaT home By Hew Absorption Method.

A provision merchant in Oldham, England, has invented an ingenious contrivance by which he is able to feed his horses without personal attendance throiigh the medium of ai alarm clock. In a small office adjoining the stable the clock is placed on a sh^lf. Attached to the winding hey is a piece of copper wire, and this is fastened to a small brass roller that runs over a wooden rod. At the end of the rod is a heavy weight. When the clock goes off the wheel is drawn over the rod and releases the weight, which falls to the floor. The corn i>ox is filled over night, and when the weight is released a small door at the bottom of the box flies open and the corn falls into the manger. The horses never fail to rise at the sound of the alarm, knowing what is to follow and when the drivers turn up the animals are ready to l-e harnessed. W HE AT A CONTEST WORTH ENTERING.

"You'll have to send for another doctor," said the one who had been called, after a glance at the pati- ent. "Am I so ill as that !" gasped the sufferer. "I don't know just how ill you are." replied the man ot medicine, "but I know you're the lawyer who cross-examined me when I appeared as an e.xpert wit- ness. My conscience won't let me kill you, and I'll be hanged if I want to cure you. Good day." AN OVERDOSE OF INTEREST. IIow a Traveller Was Shadowed by Children iu .M.-ideira. "Enough is as good as a feast,' and too much is a wearisome surfeit. To be an object of interest is pleas- ing to the vanity, but carried to excess, flesh. An example of such a con- dition is given by A. E. W. Marsh in "Holiday Wanderings in Ma- deira." Soon after our arrival at the inn cf Boaventura, not a child within the radius of miles but heard of our advent, and ran, walked, craw- led or rolled or howled until it was carried, to have a look at us. They came and literally sat down in front of the hostelry, and absolutely rtfused to leave us. It was very embarrassing, for we found it impossible to move a step without being followed at a respect- ful distance by an army of juven- iles. We went to church ; so did the children. We went to the Blables: so did the children. We went up the road and down the road ; so did the children. When we walked, they walke<l ; when we ran, they ran ; when we stopped", they stopped.

This Cordial can be given with safety to the smallest child, as there is no in- jurious substance in it. Jakeyâ€" "Fadder, a shentleraans half fallen troo de coal-hole!''

"Of course, the railways owe the public a great deal," said Mr. Dus- tin Stox ; 'but you mu.st also re- member that the public is indebted to the railways." '•Yes,'' answered the critical citi- zen, "but the railways are in a po- sition to collect." Just the Thing That's Wanted.â€" A pill that acts upon tiie stomach and yet is so compounded that certain ingredients of it pre- serve their power to act upon the intestinal canals, so as to clear them of excreta the retention of which cannot but be hurtful, was long looked for by the medical pro- fession. It was found in Parmelee's Vegetable Pills, which are the re- sult of much expert study, and are scientifically prepared as a laxative and an alternative in one. "Captain, we are entirely out of ammunition," said an orderly ser- geant to his commander on a field- day. "What! Entirely out of am- munition 1" exclaimed the captain. "'Yes, entirely out," was the re- ply. "Then cease firing," said the captain. A Cure for Fever and Ague. â€" Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are compounded for use in any climate, and they will be found to preserve their powers in any latitude. In fever and ague they act upon the secretions and neutralize the poison which has found its way into the blood. They correct the impuri- ties which find entrance into the system through drinking water or food and if used as a preventive fevers are avoided. SH.VRED THE HONORS.
