Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually as a result of con stipation from dyspepsia, headaches, neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive diseases. "When I became convinced 4 m4'7y that nine-tenths of my troubles were caused by constipation, I began the use of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac tory results, never having a single attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, also began to use Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With my children I had no ticed that nearly all their ailments were preceded by constipation, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with children as with parents, Ayer's Tills, if taken in season, avert all danger of sickness."

Warm Admirer of One of .America's Greatest Mea Curious Crowds Line the Way Wfcerever the Visi tor Uoes. Nrwr Yobk, Aug. 30. Li Hung CbaDg, despite the fact that he at tended a dinner in his honor Satur day night by the ex ministers to China at the . Waldorf and had re mained up at least an hour beyond his usual hour for retiring, arose this morning at 6:30 o. clock. At 10 o'clock a delegation of thirty Chinese merchants, representing the Lee family in these parts called on the ambassador to pay their respects. The' delegation which was beaded by the Chinese cousul was attired in all the splendor ot Oriental dress, and their pigtails were carelully groomed. The mem bers of the delegation all bowed al mot to the ground, as they entered Li tlung Chang's presence, and the gi?at man returned the ealu'.e. The audience lasted for more tbau an hour and it - must have been a pleasant met ting for the delegation was smiling all over when they catne out oi the room. The most interesting of the pro gram wi the visit of the Ambassa dor to the tomb of Gen Grant on River. iJe. l)rive. Li Hung Cuang had a great admiration for Gen. Gram who as one of his heroee. At an early hour in the forenoon' a crowd began to gather in the vicin hy of the Waldorf anxious to get a glimpse of the lamous Chinaman. Acting Inspector Harley with a force of 125 men stationed around the houso kept the people from crowding around the hotel. There was no cavalry escort to (ley, the mounted po ice doing the honors. The program of the vice- roy was a per.ona! one and this ac- counts f jr the absence of the Gov orn nit nl ocoit. The h. ur Pet for Eirl Li's visit to Grain's jo nib was 3 o'clock. Be fore that t:mo the polico mopped traffic arid nobody was admitted into 33rd street. A dense mass of people lined the sidewalks along Fifth avt-iiue a far as the eje could seo. There were blue coats stationed all ulong the route which was covtr. d by the distinguished visitor. This was : FiMi uvenue to the 94ih street, to ihe Boulevard," to Riverside Drive and tho tomb. Acting Police Inspector Thompson was ?n command of five hundred men stationed arouud the tomb ?nd along tho drive. Col Fred D. Grant, accompanied by his son Ulysses Grant, tf Sandie so, 'Cal , uriircd at the Waldorf at 2:20 o'clock. Mrs. Grnnt, the widow of Gen. Grant, who was staying at the Fifth avenue Hotel, was diiving to Col. Grant's house, 25 Eist 62nd street where Li Hung Chang was to visit her after the ceremony at the tomb was over. An ini.ntnse wreath which the ambassador was to place on the tomb of tho dead general was fiist carried down stairs from the vice-, roy's apartments. This wreath, care- fully, guarded by a member of Li's suit, was placed in a cab and taken to the tomb. At 3 o'clock Li Hung Chang, es corted by Gen. Ruger and Col. Grant, came down 8 airs and walk ed through the corrider of the bos U-l to the 33rd street entrance. There a carriage was waiting, and he took his seat in it. Col. Grant, Gen. Ru ger and the official interpreter occu' pied seats in the eaine carriage. In the second carriage were Gen. Miles Gen. Horace Porter and Henry W. Cannon. Ulysses Grant, the son of Col. Fred Grant, his uncle Ulysses Grant aud Mr. Drew were in the third carriage. Then came the Chi nese minister and exsminister to China, Geo. F. Seward. In the last carriage were four attendants of the embassador. Li Hung Chang's chair occupied a crrriage all to it- eel r. Everything was ready in a few minutes and the start for the tomb was made at 3:10 o'clock, the carri age diiving at a fair gate up Fifth avenue. Li held his famous umbrel la over big head all the way. Ho received an enlhutiaflic ovation from the thirty thousands or more peoplo who lined the R verside and Morr.iog-ide drives. A large space surrounding the tomb had been roped in, giving the spectators a good opportunity of witnessing the pioceedings. At the fuot of tho steps leading to the cry, was stationed a rieryeant's guard from Governor's Is land. A solitary policeman stood guard at the gate if tho tomb in which Lad been placed earlierin the day a wr. ath" from Mrs U. S. Grant Sr., consisting cf white roses and galaxy leaves tied with a Satin bow. Li Hung Chang ai.d party drove tip Riverside drive opposite the tomb at 4:15 o'clock. His appear ance was a signal of hearty cheer ing. There was a short delay while one of tbe Chinese attendants hasw tened back to a rear carriage to bring Li "Hung Chang's seat and chair. When it arrived he was carried by four policeman from the road to the tomb. - He carried an umbrella in one hand and a gold mounted cane in the other. Oj reaching the top of the flight ot steps Li alighted. The heavy iron door leading to tbe tomb was then opened. Li, after taking in one band his floral wreath, entered the crypt and placed it on tho iron cas ket. Before doing so be made a profound bow. At his sido were C.I. Fred Grant, his brother, U. S. Grant, of San Diegt, Cal., and his son U. S. Grant Jr., as well as Lo Hung Lu. the Caioeso interpreter. On the steps ou side stood Gen Roger, Gen. Horace Porter.Col. J. J Cook. J . Seward and Capt.

I Wan nbo'it tuur let i dia-ncler irid consist d of bay leaver and biln and mauve orchids tied with yellow velvet. The occasion seemed to af fect Li deeply. In conversation with Col. Grant be referred to his warm admiration of the late General's qualities. Ooe of the leading reason, he added, for returning home by the way of Ame rica was to visit bis friend's grave. Through the interpreter he made many inquiries about lbe.mausolemu towards which be forwarded Hon. John Russell Young a -check for $500. After remaining standing for twenty minutes alongside of tbe casket, Li uttered several words in Chinese, and made a profound bow. Stepping backward to tbe door he repeated the same words Co himself and made a second bow. ' Then he withdrew. As he seated himself in the sedan chair tbe crowd uttered k rousing cheer. . This seemed to please him greatfy, for he gently nodded his head. ' The entire party then entered ear riages and were driven to the reeii dence of Col. Grant in East Sixty second street. There a crowd of 3,000 people awaited him. Li de clined the use of the sedan chair, and leaning on Geu Ruger and Col. Grant, he assended tbe flight of car peted steps. At the door hj was met by U. S. Grant, non cf tbe Sate general. Theotht r member (if vhe part' tollowed. - The viceroy was conducted t the parlor, where he was received by Mrs, Grant, widow of the late gener al.

The viceroy was presented to all invited guests. He spoke feelingly to Mrs. Grant ot tbe great loss she had sustained in tbe loss ol her bus band, and eaid that be wotil al ways chersh tbe generals memory. Then the viceroy presented Mr. Giant w tb several pieces al valua ble brocaded silk, a rare Ctitse vase and a number of cnoots ot tea. He also presented U. S. Graut, Jr., son cf Col. Grant with a valuable jade tone. The viceroy xeemed to enjoy his visit greatly. Refresh ments were served, but Li content ed himself with taking two cups of tea and smoking a few cigaretli. The v it-it lasted an hour. Wheu Li was on the point of leav ing Mrs Grant present d him with a large steel engraving of her hus band.. Li Hung Chang, accompanied by Col. Grant, reached tbe Waldotf n his return at 6:45 p. m. mm Boj s and Girls With Date ruination. Dear Boys and Girls: In a few short weeks throughout the length and breath of our fair land colleges and institutes of learning -will have thrown open their doo.s to receive tbe thousands of boya ami girls who enter there in quest ot knowledge. To 50U who enter, alow tbe writer to give you a few words of advice How many of you have a definite object to attain, an aim in life to wbich you are bending your ener gies and exerting your will-power to accomplish a fixed purpose? TheD I would say to you in tbe words of a distinguished educator, in addr ssing a body of students at the opening of a 6chool year: "My joung friends allow me to give 3'ou this little piece of advice, tbosoof you who have not a fixed purpose in life bad better return to your homes, until you shall have deter mined on fuch a .purpose.'' How many are there, and most especially young ladies, who are sent from tbeir homes to attend college, un derstand lully tbe object of their mission ? How many, wben tbev are asked "what you expect to do when you have finished jour edu cation ? make the reply, beard not long since from a graduate, ' Ob ! 1 dout know,loa , I expect until so mo thing better turns up." Students of this class, we regret to say, raroly ever ascomplishe much, and if they graduate .at all they barely do so by tbe skin ol their teeth, asjt is expressed, while on the contrary, those, who enter college with a defi nite aim and a fixed purpose as. to what calling in life they may follow, movo on with their studies like intellectual giants, and to ouch as their duty is a pleasure and the ops portunitics afforded them are not allowed to Klip by On tbe wiLgs of golden' minutes inimpn ved, and finally, in the end when ll;ey drop frcm the race of life or reach tbe long coveted goal, they are not re garded as nonenaies in life. May God's blesbing rest upon svery boy and girl who enter the schoolroom during the coming term, and, al its end may the thousands who step from the rostrums, proudly bearing tbeir diplomas, into the ranks of a work-a-day world to survive or perish in the ever onward Tushiug tide business, bave a delermiialion to stick to a fixed purpose ' until something is accomplished, towards getting on in the world. And unless this is the case there He ahead of the bouyant, confident young gradu ate hidden rocks.upon wbich sooner or later he may wreck bis life and fortunes. School Days Baltimore Sun. The waning Summer reminds not only children, but tbeir parents of the coming school days, when study must be resumeJ. For the younger ohildren tbe course is aU ready mapped out they have sim ply to return to tbeir aid places in the system or enter an advanced class, bet there is a serious problem respecting what is to be done by the children ho have completed their elementary training and are prepared either to go tu work or to take one of several higher courses. Eich caso requires special consider ation, but there are some general principles to guide those wbo have barge c I young folks and mut in. a measuro guide tbeir future If the young man or ytmng woman has distinc pr ferenoe-, b3- h uld uprv truM.. fo whm T (titrable u - it'- ideation.

If ihty aro sent out 10 work lor a year or two.tbey will learn tU methiog of the advai.uges to be U rived from education ami will not only be more tract able, but better fitted to receive 111 sttuction. This, then, should be one rule, that when a JPS man has reached the tfge when, if, poor, he would be com pelled to go tb work, he would be withdrawn from school, unless of bis own free will he maintains good standing in his class, and this quite irrespectively of the meanB his par ents may have. The lesson of work will be useful to him . and he can re sume his studies when he is in a bet ter frame of mind to make use of tbe opportunities for study and self improvement. One of tbe greatest wastes ot this tventlnl Inineteentb century results from trying to bes tow Ligher education cn peop:e who do'not appreciato its value nnd make no uso ot school ht urs, but bimply idlofcway their time until tbey become too old to learn use ful occupation, Many young men in particular, are ruined in charac ter by indulgent parents wbo sup port them in relative idleuoss until they have reached manhood, under the prepense of having them educated. High educa tion is a boon to be prayed for and earned, not a gift to bo forced upon tbe u.zwilling. Another thought appropriate to tbe end of summer is that oi the future of ambitious young men and young women who bave been compelled to leave school What cau they do lo better them selves? Tbey should seriously onFiderJtbe question attbts season ot the yooc and ini,. out for them selves a course t reading br s udy to be te:adily pursued during the tpproacbing winter.
