aw :‘ The wondelful c111e 1elated below 1s 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 lncurahle 'During the next winter and spring he became rapidly worse. We took Jimmie to a specialist, who said it was hip disease. At this time the affliction became so severe that we could not move him with- out causing screams of agony. He be- came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and was but a shadow of his former self. We 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 taking the first bottle. He was even Better after the second. We have since used over a dozen bottles of the medicine, and the change has exceeded our expectations. James is now able to walk without the aid of crutches and goes to school every day. He has been wonderfully cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” J. O. RUNDELL, Oakley, Michigan. Druggist C. C. Tubbs says he knows the Rundell boy has been wonderfully Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and that Mr. Run- dell is thoroughly reliable.

' accomplished, "T H 11; THE ADJUTANT’S GRAVE. It was at the taking of Rangoon. From the Irrawaddi the crashing ‘ batteries of a dozen steam frigates had leveled the stockades on the riverside. Black masses of naked, smoke-stained 13u1mesc, exposed at their guns or in shallow trenches, when the teak walls fell or were burned, were mowed down like grass by a hailstorm of grape. Our artillery was ~ landing. The Eighteenth Royal Irish were already in the breaches and at the water' gate. The Burmese dropped their cumbrous shields and lances and dhars and fled, y elling, back toward the great pagoda. Those t,wild I1 ish, possessed of the same devil that dashed and slashed and stabbed and hacked and hunahed' 1n the Enniskilleners at Water100, went off in hot chase. Only one regiment!— for they would not wait for the slow boats that were bringing the guns, and the Eightieth and the Sepoy Rifles, but broke away in pu1 suit, in spite of the almost frantic ofiice1s, \- ho, weak and 11011159. with ineffectual efforts to check thci1 mad command, were f01ccd to follow at last, all chas- ing the bubble icputation together—— or c regiment, at the heels of ten thou- en 11 panic-sti ickcn save. ges! One of the glorious fellows of the c1 ack Eighteenth in this tez'npcstuous hurley-burle y was Fallon, the adjutant. He was the equipped model of a. gen- tleman and a soldier, according to the standard of his proud regiment; a jovial boon companion, generous com- lade, fast friend frank and fearless enemy; in sport a. child, in taste a scholar, impetuous in fight, pitiful ,in victory. As his disordered party charged, shouting, up the broad Dagonroad, be— tween the long lines of the inner stock- ade,ove1 bamboo bridges thrown across trenches, and past grim. gigantic idols and ponghee houses fantastically carved, the adjutant who had lingered behind the rest, striving to the last, in his habitual devotion to discipline, to restrain the men, happened to be in the rear of all. “How now?” jestingly cried Clark, an English ensign of the adjutant’s mess, who was running just bef01e him, “our plucky Fallon at the back of us all! This is bad enough for me, old fellow, who have my medals to win; but it will never do for you, with those red ribbons to answer for.” “I am doing my best, Clark, my boy,” Fallon replied, “and shall be up with that crazy sergeant presently. You know I am good for a short brush of foot race; fast running is one of my accomplishments—thanks to my bog- trotting education and the practice Lord Gough gave us.’ Hardly were the words done ringing in his comrade’s ears when .the gallant l1 allon, the pride of his corps, received in his generous breast a dozen musket balls, as he sprang up the broad stair- case of the Golden Dragon pagoda— first of them all, and quite alone. He fell on his face. stone dead, on the stairs, sword in hand, and smiling. When all was over, and his regiment held the post of honor on the very throne of the Boodh, they gave him a soldier’ s most distinguished obsequies, burying him in a grove of talipot tiees, behind a ponghee house of the most most grotesque architecture, and just outside of what were afterward the Sepoy lines of the Eightieth. H is faith- ful 0rde1ly planted '1 1ude cross at his grave’ s head and set an English white rose there. An American missionary gave it to him. --'4- ~- In Calcutta N01 ah Fallon—beautiful, witty, altogether r..- diant with rare charms of mind and person—w aited with her young child for news f1 om her soldier husband, who had’ nor heart in his keeping within the stockadcs of Rangoon. When they toll her he wsa dead, she fell, uttering 0:111r a sha1 p cry, and lay as one dead for many days. But when she awoke to the consciousness of Tim pro- found bereavement, and her eternal widowhood, she shed not a tear nor spoke a word, but took her boy and went aboard a troopship that sailed on the morrow for Rangoon. On the voyage still she spoke not, nor ever wept; the silence of her sor- 10w had something sacred, almost aw- ful, about it, that commanded :1 del- icacy of consideration, which was a 501 t of worship, from the rudest about her. Arrived at Rangoon. no sooner had the ship dropped anchor off the king’s whaif than N01 ah sent her chaprassey, her Hindoo errand goer, with a. note to Gen. Godwin, commanding the com- pany ’s for so 1 in Burmah: “The wife of Maurice F 11114.11 adjutant in the Eight- eenth of he1 majesty s Royal Irish, would be permitted to see her hus- band’s grave; she awaits the expres- sion of the general’s wishes on board the Mahanuddy.” She waited long. At last the answer ' came: ‘ ‘It was with unfeigned sorrow that Lieut. Gen. * Godwin found himself constrained, by the exigencies 1f his position, to refuse the widow of one of his best officers, whose loss was felt by the whole Anglo-Indian army, the sad privilege of visiting the spot where his comrades consigned him to a. brave sol- dier’s grave. But the general’s footing in Rangoon was precarious; 110111 ly ap- prehensions of attack by a strong body of the enemy were entertained. “It was known that a Burmah chief w as approaching with at numerous and well-armed force, and had already ar- rived' 1n the neighborhood of Kemmen- dine. Therefore, for the present, the lieutenant general must forbid the landing of his countrywoman from the shipping on any pretext. He hoped to be forgiven by the dear lady, whose grief he humbly asked to be permitted to share; but in this case he was not left in the exercise of the least discre- tion. Such were the regulations.” When Norah Fallon had read these lines she retired to her cabin in silence and was not seen again that day. ' On the next she was observed in frequent and eager conference, in whispered Hindoostanee, with an old and faithful bearer, gray-bearded, and of grave and dignified demeanor, who had long been ' at 72 ,.899 .. ~ any" 1. 1... 1n the confidence of her husband—in- deed, a sort“ of humble but fatherly guardian to the young, inexperienced and perhaps imprudent pair, who, with their darling between them, were all in all to each other, and heedless of all beside. The old Hindoo had formerly lived several years at Prome, whither .he had gone in the capacity of bearer to an English commissioner; he therefore knew the Burmese character well, and could speak the language with toler- able fluency. There were many “friendly” Bur- mese at Rangoon at this time, deserters from Dallah, shrewd fellows who had foreseen safety in British ascendancy, and, being mostly fishermen,had offered themselves for “Inglee”. muskets for the nonce, vith a sharp eye to profit- able nets thereafter. Indeed, not afew of these calculating traitors had taken to their old trade already, and were busy plying their poles and hooks from crazy canoes at the mouth of Kemmen-’ dine creek. It was not long before some of them, hailed by old Buxsoo, the bearer, came alongside with, as he said, fish for the Mom Sahib, his mis- tress. On these occasions he conversed with them in Burmese, and whoever watched narrowly the astonished and anxious faces of the fishermen must have, observed that neither the fresh- ness nor the price of their finny prizes formed any part of the discussion. ' It was a dark night, no moon and a cloudy sky; all hands had gone below and “turned in” some hours since. The officer of the deck, night-glass in hand, paced the “bridge,” or leaned over the rail and watched the lights ashore, while the quartermaster patrolled the gangways. ' But these were not alone on deck; on the bullring of the after- gun the pale and tearless widow sat, still as a shadow, and peered through the darkness shoreward towards where the Eighteenth’s lights gleamed from the - Golden Dragon. Such was her nightly wont, and officers and men had become so accustomed to it that she semetimes sat there till after midnight, unheeded and forgotten. The young officer still chased with his eyes the restless lights, and dreamed dreams the while of home and of a sweetheart; the gruff old quartermaster paced up and down, and thought of prize-money and the “old woman.” Neither had eye nor thought for the poor lady, they were so used to her lonesome ways, d’ye see, else they might have found something unusual in the anxiety with which she watched a singular object' 1n the water astern— only an empty canoe drifting toward the ship! Not drifting, either; for now that I point them out to you, you can see two black heads, with long hair twisted in a barbaric knot behind, peering warily above the water in front of the boat, which seems to fol- low them. The love-lorn youngster, or the gruff old quartermaster on prize money in- tent, did look toward the bullring a. little later, and saw — nothing: the lady was gone. Whither? To her cabin? No; she could not have passed 'them unobserved. But that was easy to decide; her light still burned; her state room was open and unoccupied. Where then was she? Good heavens! It could not be; and yet it must—poor lady! Poor baby! They gave the alarm; they roused the ship; a gun was fired; a search was made, in vain; alas! it must be so. “She [has gone to join her husband.” True! but not that way, gruff old quartermaster’s mate. Stop thinking about her; have ears and brains for your duty. What was that shot on shore? And, hark, now! another, and another, and another! the alarm is given in the British lines; the sentries have discharged their pieces and run in! See! the place is all ablaze with lights; every poonghee house is illum- inated; you can discern the great ' porch of the Golden Dragon, with its griffin warders, from here. They are beating to arms; the trumpet sounds the “assembly.” What could that first and solitary shot have been? Ah! my nautical friends, while your sapient pates were busy guessing, that pair of barbaric black heads have drifted under the stern again, and the same canoe has drifted with them—nor empty this time; for, look again, and you will see that her light is no longer burning, and her stateroom door is closed, though the window is open; and—yes, you do hear her breathing. Wait! spare your heads the guessing; it will all be cleared up for you one day._ Wait till you dare to ask Norah Fallon why she makes so much of that withered white rose. Gen. Godwin’s next dispatch to the governor general contained a curious passage: “On the ‘night of the 15th the eantonments were thrown into dis- order by a false alarm, caused by the mysterious discharge of a pistol in the talipot grove, which inclosed the grave of the late Adjt. Fallon, who fell gloriously in the attack of the Dragon pagoda; the spot is close to the Sepoy lines of H. M. Eightieth. My men maintained good order, answering the assembly, call with remarkable celerity, ano in complete equipment. “At daybreak aSepoy of Maj. Ainslie’s picket found a. dead boa of great size, and evidently just killed, lying across young Fallon’ s grave; also, suspended to the cross by a ribbon, a gold locket ‘ containing two locks of 11 11—11 lady’ s' and achild’ s; and fastened to the cross by a short Burmese poniard through the paper the inclosure, marked X.” Inclosure X contained the follow- ing: “There are no ‘Regulations’ for the heart of an Irish soldier’s wife.”— Romance. —-—Of the professional classes, of this country, such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, journalists and clergymen, 40 per cent. have less than $1,000 cap- ital; 50 per cent. rejoice in a. capital of from $1,000 to $10,000; 9 per cent. have from $10, 000 to $100, 000, and only 1 per cent. enjoy the possession 0f more than $100, 000. __ -—-The Reformed Jewish congrega- tions' in the United States number 217.

He was a bachelor, while the other man upon whom he was calling was a young married man, and the visitor felt very much like a fish out of water, says the Philadelphia Record. The year before they had been insep- arable chums, with the same tastes, the same habits. Now everything was changed. The young benedict seemed to be just as sociable and talkative as ever, but his old chum was ill at ease. He felt like making a belt for the door, and with difficulty restrained himself. His nerves were at high tension, and he sat watching the door pathetically, cxpectantly, like the felon awaiting the coming of his executioner. The door opened finally, and a wom- an wearing a white cap and apron en- tered with a'very young baby in her arms. “Here he is,” said the married one. “Here’s my son and heir. Isn’t he a beauty, Jack, eh?” . Jack made some idiotic remark about the baby’s sex. “Oh, yes,” said the father. “Hadn’t you heal (1? It’s a boy, of course.” Jack gasped. “It’s got hair on its head.” The father laughed, but Jack looked solemn. “Baby’s got a tooth,” said the father, proudly. “Only one?” queried the bachelor, and then he had a bright idea. “Of course, that needn’t ’worry you,” he said; “I should think you might get kid, y’ know.” ’" Rough on the T09. A lady, greviously tormented with a corn on one of her toes, was advised by a friendv to anoint it with phosphorus. which in a-weak moment she did, but forgot to tell her husband before retir- ing at night. It was just struck twelve when the husband awoke, and was startled to see something sparkle at the foot of the bed. heard of a firefly in the locality, nor did he ever. remember seeing such a terrible—looking object as the toe pre— sented. Reaching carefully out of his bed till he found one of his slippers, he raised it high in the air, and brought it down with terrible force upon the my..- terious light. A shriek and an ava- lanche of bed clothes, and all was over. When at last he released himself fr0m the avalanche he discovered his wife groaning in the corner. He had struck the phosphorated toe! x Chinese Skates.
