The wonderful cure related below is
by no means unusual with Hood’s Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine has
given health to suffering children,
“even when health seemed impossible.
The secret of its success is that it puri-
fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood.
. “I wish to tell of a wonderful cure
effected by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Five
years ago my little boy was sudden-
ly seized with a severe lameness, appar:
ently in his right knee, which some phy-
sicians said was rheumatism, while others
said it was hip disease and that it was

. severe that we could not move him with-
§out causing screams of agony. He be-
? came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and

had about given up hope when we read of
. a cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla of a similar
, case. We resolved to try this medicine.
Jimmie was decidedly improved after

RELIGIOUS Rl'l‘ES.’
The Church Observances of the
’ Boers of South Africa. .
They Are Very Simple and Unostenta-
tious and Are Conducted with Deep
Devoutness—The Minister Is
Greatly Revered.
In the Observances of religious wor-
ship the Boers are exemplary, and in
their home life they know very little
of social diversion but what is of this
nature. They pray in steutorian tones
and sing with a solemn heartiness that
conveys the idea of dead earnestness.
Their susceptibilities are easily moved
by a. little emotional oratory. It fills
them with a sense of uncrtuous’satis-
faction, but the sense of formalism
would shock their sense of decorum.
They'would hardly approve of such
manners in church. The critics who
scout their piety and call it by the name
of hypocrisy are guilty of a thought-
less derision that belies reflection. Out
' of church the Boers have certainly a
little weakness for parading their re-
ligion. They indulge considerably in
Scriptural phraseology, and allude to
the personality of God in a. way that
sounds familiar and canting, but there
is no idea of profanity in it. It is with
them an evidence of reverence and sin-
cerity, and, in justice to them, I must
state that in all my intercourse with
these people I have found them sternly
Free from the slightest approach to lev-
ity on the subject of things held sacred.
They regard the services of the Eng-
lish Episcopal church at Pretoria as
nothing but a theatrical show. To
them it appears a travesty of religion.
Like most people of simple and pas-
toral habits, the Boers retire soon after
the close of day and rise with the first
dawn of the morn, and in the early
twilight they assemble and sing
psalms and hymns. and offer up
prayers with a. strength and earnest-
ness that constitutes quite a laborious
cfl‘ort. Their tunes are intensely
dreary and monotonous. They sing in
spasmodic lengths with long pauses in-
tervening, and the impression conveyed
is that each one follows his or her own
time and tune; therefore, except for its
heartiness, it does not inspire much ad—
miration, unless gratitude at being at
a distance from it might bear that con-
struction. As soon as darkness closes
in. a heavy supper is partaken of, and
then a repetition of the morning’s de—
votional exercises takes place, and the
family retire to rest. Strict in their
ideas of church-going, and in the ob-
servance of the rites it imposes, they
necessarily regard the minister with
the greatest reverence, and they are
willing subjects of his little autocracy.
He is to them the direct emissary of
God.and the bulwark of their faith.
He performs all the spiritual offices
their lives have need of, and is also the
guardian of their morals, and derelic-
tions in this respect restrict the culprit
in church privileges, than which not-h-
ing could be more terrible.
The ministers of churches among the
Boers are mainly Hollanders, though
there is a growing desire for men of the
country to fill these ofiices, and some
of them are men who have studied at
the Cape theological schools. These
men having the same origin as the
Boers, their sympathies are allied to
ihem, and thus their influence will
have greater weight in advocating ed-
ucation. Every town boasts the some-
what odd-looking structure built in the
form of a cross, which is known to be
‘ the church. It has its place in the cen—
ter of a. square, from which point the
town takes its growth. The minister
generally has his habitat-ion within the
shadow of the walls of the church, itin-
erating periodically among his flock,
who are scattered throughout the dis-
irict, living at great distances apart,
on their lonely farms. Every three
months naachtmaal, or celebration of
the sacrament, takes place at the par-
ish church, if I may call it so, and it
is made the occasion of the ingathering
of the whole flock, who make this a.
point of most exemplary observance,
the majority of them having to perform
several days of travel to be present. At
these times the square round the
church is the camping ground in which
hundreds of wagons and tents are.
packed, a scene of life and bustle which
contrasts strangely with its usual quiet
appearance. Friends meet and re-
joice in social intercourse, thawing to
rnerriment and joviality in the atmOs-
phere of a camp fire under the quiet
:ztars of heaven, and so full of a. certain
method and repose is the aspect of this
'i-ypsy life among the Boers that the
casual onlooker would feel 'a difficulty
in dissociating them from it, so aptly
does it seem tol: ~ 4‘ - 1r normal element.

Love and Illiteracy in England.
Dtspite all that the English education
acts have accomplished during the last
quarter of a. century, the men who, in
1894, signed the marriage register with
marks instead of with their names
were in the proportion of 46 per 1,000,
while the similarly illiterate women
reached 54 per 1,000. The registrz—ir
general states that in 14 out of every
1,000 marriages both bridegroom ‘and
bride signed with marks. That some
improvement is going on is, neverthe-
less, made evident by the circumstances
that, unsatisfactory as the foregoing .
figures may appear, yet, as compared
with those of 1893, the proportion of
men who signed with marks exhibits
a. diminution equal to eight percent,
and that of women a diminution of
5.3 per cent—Chicago Tribune.
Old Sailing Craft.
The second oldest sailing craft in the
world is the so-called Gokstad ship, a
Viking craft which was discm'ered in
n sepulchrnl mound on the shores of
Christiania fjord, and is now exhibited
in a wonderfully perfect state of pres-
crvation in Christiania. It is a craft
of the ninth century, A. D., and is there-
fore nearly a thousand years old—Chi-

PARrs DRESSMAKE‘RSI
,There Are Enough of Them to'Form a
- Good Sized Town.
Paris is the city where the dressmak-
ing trade flourishes as .it does in no
other spot in the world. In 1850 the
number of couturieres, as given in the
Annuaire‘du Commerce, the commer-
cial directory of those days, was only
158. There were besides 67 shops for
the sale of ready—made feminine appar-
el, but there were none, as there are
today, which sold lingerie or certain
articles exclusively.
In the Bottin (as the Paris direc-
tory is familiarly known) of 1895 there
are,1,636 couturieres and 290 commer-
cial houses for the sale of ready-made
garments, besides many establish-
ments which manufacture and sell
jupon-s de desous or under-petticoats
alone. The number of working dress-
makers in Paris is estimated at 65,000.
In all France, according to M.
Georges Michel, the industry of manu-
facturing the various articles of wom-
an’s dress is in the hands of 81,400 male
and 143,63I8 female owners of shops or
factories. These furnish employment
to 700,801 persons, of whom over 500,-
000 are women. m-
In addition to these there are 925,855
persons who make their living from in-
dustries which are tributary to that
of. the manufacture of feminine appar—
el. The total. value of the product of
this labor from so many hands is esti-
mated at £50,000,000.
A GREAT SNAKE COLONY.
An Australian Enthusiast Has a. Fine Col-
lection of Venomous Reptiles.
Mr. J. McGarvie Smith, an eminent-
liacteriologist of Sydney, Australia, is
the proprietor of probably the greu test
collection of snakes in the world, says
the New York World. 'He is in
the business partly for scientific
purposes and partly for business. He
advertised some time ago for 500 venom-
ous reptiles, but one publisher refused
to permit the advertisement until he
had satisfied himself of the sanity of
the scientist.
The different species of venomous
snakes in Australia, so far as known,
number 42, and Mr. Smith has speci-
mens of all of them. The poison ex-
tracted from the reptiles is largely used
in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
subject of snakes, and regards them as
the most- wonderful of living creatures.
He has in his collection serpents that
have gone nearly a year without food
and are still fat. He has injected some
of their own poison into them without
the slightest ill-effects to themu As a
result of his investigations he has estab-
lished the fact that a. non-poisonous
snake is‘ not afiected in any way by the
poison of the venomous Species. ‘
“Why,” said Smith, “it does not kill
one of its own species while it is so fatal

ries of the Almighty which we cannot

MADE FROM NIGHTMARES.
Methods Used by Artists Who ~Design
POpular Grotesque Posters.
People who dine late at night in a
certain ‘uptown restaurant may have
noticed a well-dressed, wild—eyed, hab-
gard-faced, dyspeptic main devouring
night after night with apparent relish
dishes which only the ultra brave have
courage to eat more than once a month.
That man is an'artist, says the New
York World, and eating indigestiblc
food is a part of his business, for he
is a maker of posters. Since the use
of grotesque posters, built on the lines
of Aubrey Beamdsley"s phantom fan-
cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee
Johanna’s savage sketches, has become
general as a means of advertising news-
papersit is no more than right that
the world should know how the de-
signs a-re conceived.
The case of this wild-eyed, haggard-
fii’ied, dySpept-ic artist alone will be
cited. His may or may not be the
method used by all the better poster
makers. Every night he goes to this
uptown restourant, eats a welsh rab-
bit, a. cold broiled lobster, two cream
rolls and a dish of ice cream and drinks
a quart of cheap claret. Then he goes
home, drinks two glasses of ice water,
retires and the nightmare does the rest.
In the morning he s' "tches the hor-
rors he saw in his dreams and finishes
them as the orders for posters pour in.
He is making a. fortune in the business.
MICROBES ON STAMPS.
The Philatelist’s Collection as a Source
of Danger.
Having successfully disclosed the hy-
gienic dangers adherent to the kiss.
the telephone receiver and the towel,
medical science has now turned its at..-
tention to the perils that beset the
philatelist’s art. According to Dr.
['nnn, says the Science News, a patient
was recently attacked by a peculiar
parasitic growth in the beard. On mak-
ing a minute examination of some of
the hairs, the doctor recognized the dis-
ease as “picdrn,” which is chiefly met
with in British Columbia. The doc-
tor’s friend had never been in Columbia,
but he frequently receiv‘cd letters from
correspondents there, and. beinga col-
lector of postage stamps, he was in the
habit of removing them from the. let-
ters. In Dr. Unna’s opinion the gum
on the postage stamp‘ is an excellent
material for retaining any disease
germs that it may receive from the ap-
plication of the tongue, and in remov-
ing stamps—even when moist-suing is
done with the spongewthere is always
a danger that the collector’s fingers
may receive and communicate the con- ’
tamination.
L” Turned the Tables.
uWhen a. schoolmaster entered the
temple of learning a few mornings ago
he read on the black card the touch-
ing legend: “Our teac er is a donkey.”
The pupils expected there would be a
combined cyclone and earthquake. but-
the philosophic pedagogue contented
himself with adding the word “driver”
to the legend, and opened the school as
usual. , ,

HEART CULTURE.
Flesh Is Heir To.
Its- Votaries Beiieve'ln the Building Up
and Development of the Spiritual
Together with the Physical
Parts of Man.
_,_
Here is another new science. Its vo-
taries call it hearticure, which is under-
stood to be a. word invented in contra.-
distinction to manicure. Manicure, or
the culture of the hand physical, is ac-
knowledged to be well-enough in its
way. But as heart and hand must
work together to effect any permanent
good, the heart-icurists aim to begin at
the beginning with the unseen, the in-
ward and the spiritual in contra/distinc-
tion to the outward and visible. Since
the hand is,powerless to act, unless the
pendulum of the body, the heart, keeps
even stroke and swings in harmonious
time, they propose. to open a. school for
the culture of the heart spiritual.
Physical culture, to which so much
time and atention have been given, is
considered as of but secondary impor-
tance. Why? Because the spiritalone
in man is that which animates.
It is proposed to open classes for the
heart spiritual, having for a motto:
“Do as you would be done by.”
Most of us know this motto by rote,
jurst as we learned many of our lessons
at school, when we crammed our brains
with book knowledge of a dead past,
which could be of little use to us prac-
tically. The hearticurists point to the
fact that too much brain work, over-
study for the cultivation of the brain,
has always been in excess of the cul-
tivation of the heart, as is evidenced by
the heartrending headings of our daily
press news, such as: “Suicide of - an
only daughter, brought on by over-
study.” Study of what? they ask.
Book study is the answer, a study which
will be of little value to a. woman after
she has taken unto herself the duties of
wife, mot-her and home. Does book
lore, does schoolroom lore, make all
that is required of wife, mother, com—
panion or friend? “No,” answers the
hearticulturist; a thousand times no!
So they say let book learning be sec-
ondary to the culture of the heart. Let

Mr. Smith is an enthusiast on the i us egin in the l indergarten w 1th the
cultivation of the heart. Then, indeed,
shall we have a new race of men and
women, and our children in the next
generation, at least, will rise up and call
. us blessed because we have planted the
seeds of tenderness and loving care for
others, to the exclusion of self and all
that is gross and worldly. It is for us
now, in this our day and generation,
when crime stalks boldly in broad day-
light, shamelessly defying public weal,
seeking only its own. To what are we
'to attribute all this crime, all this wick-
edness in high places? Why, to our
own fundamental error—neglect to cul-
tivate the heart of ,the young while in
the nursery.
Let us work together, they cry, shoul—
der to shoulder, to emancipate genera-
tions yet unborn. Let us begin now
also' to instill principles into the hearts
of our young men and maidens of mar-
riageable age which shall bring forth
fruit abundantly when in the divine
order of nature they shall'become par-
ents. Is it not high time to inquire into
cause, while hitherto we have only been
straining after effect?
In what avails the culture of the
physical body of man that shall perish
and return to the dust w ,nce it came?
Let us relegate all save heart culture to ‘
the place whence it belongs. Too long
have so-called mental and physical cul-
ture usu ed the first place, the place of
honor, to the exclusion of the cultiva-
tion of the heart spiritual; too long
have we made clean the outside of the
platter, the external, ignoring the cul-
ture of the heart, the motive power of
our existence.
“Do unto others as you would have
them do to you” must be imbib‘ed with
the mother’s milk, instilled from
earliest infancy, if we would have a self-
forgetting racce, if we would have the
brotherhood of man exemplified on
earth. Good will bring peace to man
and glory to God. So let us begin at the
beginning. Teach good will and peace
will follow. Wars and rumors of wars
will cease. Wars domestic, wars social,
wars political and wars physical—in
fact, no war, no cause of war can exist
when the golden rule becomes a living
, factor in our daily experiencc.—-Chica—

Dyspeptic Oranges.
A mysterious disease which has at-
tacked many orange trees in Florida has
been discovered to be indigestion. The
department of agriculture in its “Year
Book” pays special attentioii to dyspep-
tic oranges, and describes the disease
and its cure. Its cause is the same as
that which so often brings on disease
in human beings-—overfeeding. Exces-
sive cultivation and too much nitro-
genous manure affect the orange tree
just as too much heavy table d’hote
dinners affect a man. Instead of look-
ing pale and taking pepsin tablets, how-
ever, the orange tree turns a very dark
green, and a reddish brown sap exudes
from the twigs. The tips turn up and
shape themselves into S—likc curves.
The fruit turns a. lemon yellow color
before it is half ripe, and has a. very
thick rind. As it ripens, the fruit splits
open and become worthless. The
reddish brown resin gets on the fruit
before it is ripe and renders it unsal-
able.——Kansas City Journal.
The Goat as a Guide.
In Switzerland and other mountain-
ous countries the goatleads long strings
of animals daily to and from the moun-
tains, but'it is in South Africa. that
it isregularly kept and employed as.
a. leader of flocks of sheep. Should
a blinding storm or rain or hail drive
the sheep to huddle together in a cor-
ner, so as to suffocate each other, the
traiil'ed goat will wake them up, and by
a method best known to himself, will
induce them to follow him to a place of
safety.—-Ciifcug,o Chronicle.

MONARCI—llAL ‘RULVEI’ I
~ ReaflIrm It.
To .the student of political institu-
tions perhaps the most characteristic
empire, says Macmillan’s' Magazine, is
the example that it gives us' of the re-
vival or reafiirmation, so to speak, of the
principle of monarchy.
ple has received some rude shocks in re—
cent years. The establishment of the
French republic was one, and the depo-
sition of the emperor of Brazil was cer—
tainly another. Both events gave great
encouragement to republican ideas.
Kings-hip 'in the old absolute sense had
long been on the wane. The French
revolution almost shattered the founda~
tions of the old monarchical rule. In
England the old kingship received its
final blow when George IV. surrendered
his position on the question of the
eu-ranciaption of the Catholics; no at-
tempt .has since been made to impose
the royal will upon a reluctant min-
istry or parliameht.‘ In France the old
kingship disappeared when Louis Phil;
ippe, the Citizen King, was“ summoned
to the throne; for the monarchy of July
was built on strictly cdnstituti-onal
lines. Even in Prussia a veryrestricted
constitution was reluctantly conceded.
King Frederick William IV. vowed
that he would never let asheet of paper
intervene between the God in Heaven
and his subjects; but even he was forced
at last to yield to the spirit of the age,
and, as Bismarck picturesquely put it,
the crown itself tlzrcw n-clcd upon its
coffin. The Italian states and Spain
were for long in a condi .4011 01' chronic
revolution, and either constitutions
w ere extortcd or republics were estab-
lished. It almost suited as though the
principle of kingship was doomed ere
long to dis-:37: 2.1:. int “.‘hc history of

CLEVER PICKPOCKETS.
The Thief‘s Art Reduced to a Fine Point
. in Mexico.
Mexico is a. land of thieves and law-
lessness. An English correspondent
tells of an. adventure of two men in
the Grand Square of Mexico. They
stood talking before they should part.
One was American, the other English.
Suddenly the former said to the lapter,
pointing to the opposite side of the
square under the colonnnde:
“Look at it—look! They’re pinch—
ing him nicely, aren’t they? And he’s
a friend of mine, you bet!”
And there, while he stood gazing at
the cathedral all unconscious, another
American was relieved of his watch
and other valuables.
“Smartest thing I ever saw,” cried
the watching Yankee. “Look here, I’d
like to interview those coons.”
They did so, the. Englishman inter-
preting. Said the admiring Yankee,
after a time:
to know what it feels like.”
And the answer came contemptu-
ouslyz I
“You? Why, we did
ago!”
This is a true story.
Told of Indigo Snakes.
The student of animal life at the
zoological gardens is startled frequent-
ly by the remarkable display of saga-city
that is sometimes made by the inmates
of that interesting place, says an Eng-
lish writer. What, for instance, could
be. more clever, more thoughtful or
more amazing than the action of the
indigo snake when cold weather comes
on? It was illustrated recently. The
across the garden informed the indigo
snakes that a. cold wave was at hand.
They could not hide their heads under
their wings, like the robin of the nurs-
ery book. They could not take violent
exercise and warm up their blood, for
their blood will not warm. So they
settle the problem by swallowing each
other in turn. One indigo snake will
swallow his better half, for example,
until she becomes thoroughly warmed
up and then she will swallow him until
he feels comfortable.
A Grim Wager.
\Vragers sometimes take rather a grim
form. It is recorded that. in the last cen-
tury a wager was laid for one of a party
of gay revelers to enter Westminster
abbey at the hour of midnight. He was
to enter one of the vaults beneath the
abbey, and in proof of his having been
there he rwas to stick a fork into a. cof-
fin which had been recently deposited
there. He accomplished his object and
was returning in triumph when he felt
overpowered by terror that he fell into
a swoon. -His companions, not being
able to account for his long absence,
found him in this condition. The fork
which he had fastened into the coffin
had caught and pinned his long cloak
and so occasioned a fit of terror which
nearly proved fatal. '
The Gun Would Determine.
It is said there is a voter living near
Hagerstown known as Old Uncle Zeb.
He does not decide who to vote for until
he has met the representatives of each
l-Iurst politician met Old Uncle Zeb the
other day and said:
who are you going to vote for?” “I
dunno,,'I dunno,” the old man replied.
“I need a. double-barreled shotgun
mighty bad. I calc’late to don lot of
hunting this winter, I dunno who I’ll
vote for.”

his favorite .topic, he remarked that he
had saved several dollars in matches.
“Why,” he said, “when I came to
Mississippi, nearly 40 years ago, I

l‘kept the same fire ever since, never al—
lowing it to die out, and during all this
time have never
