Sometimes persons become blind
from impure blood, Which develops
scrofulous ulcers on the eyeballs, iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring 'sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and 1adical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing the
Sore
eyes and restoring all the affected
parts to healthy condition. Read this:
“As an act of justice and for the ben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afflicted children, I write this. About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the worst form and in a few weeks
was entirely blind, being unable to tol-
erate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The 'best eye specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the
became worse. Then I took her to a special-
ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, Who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,
and goes to school. When she began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat
her meals in a darkened room, but new

BY SARAH B. SCARBOROUGH.
“What do y on s’ pose Luviny Sordcn‘ 5
going to do now?” was Miss Pope’ s good
morning,, Greeting, as she suddenly ap-
peai cd' in Miss Myers' sitting- room.
“Don’t know.” The brisk tailoress
snipped off a tin ead with her teeth and
pushed forward a chair as she said
this, in her usual comprehensive way.
‘It’d take a. steam-injun to keep up
with Luviny’s doings,” she added, as
Miss Pope dropped into the seat with
a mournful shake of her pretty gray-
brown front curls.
“Well, if Injuns can kwp up with her,
she’ll get kept up with, for she’s coming
home with a tribe on ’em, only they’re
live ones.” _ .
“She ain’t! ” exclaimed Miss Myers.
“Yes, she is. I’ve just got the letter.”
“What won’t that girl do next? First
she up and had a lot of contrarybands
here, and some of ’em were contrary
enough, too; then she turned your old
farm into a playground for a. whole lot
of cit-y poor children, and last year she
had the crookedest lot of sewing-girls
from some ‘sweating factory,’ she called
it—an-d they were crooked, and looked
as if they’d been sweated till they were
peaked and thin as shadows; and now—
what are you going to do about it,
L’rilly Pope?”
“Why, just what I always do,I s’pose,”
she resignedly answered. “I could see
some sense in the other doings before
she got through, but there ain’t a grain
in this. Injuns!” she continued, with
spirit. “What can a body do with sav-
ages? If I ever felt like putting my
foot down, it’s right now.”
“Why don’t you, then?”
,“There’s no time!” she groaned. “Lu-
viny never gives a. body time-- to put
their foot down. They’re coming to-
night; and this isn’t the last of it.
Mark my words: if Luviny Gordon
brings them redskins here, you’ll all be
mightily shocked before fall. I shall
certainly be scalped; and”—she low-
ered her voice—“when that happens,
M’lissy, remember I’ve always said
you’re to have that spare-room feather-
bcd for nursing me with the fever.”
“And it made my hair stand up to sit
and hear her predict that so calmly, ' ”
said Miss Myeis, as she 1elated this
conversation to subsequentcallers, “for
Miss Pope’s predict-ions are sure’s can
be. I never did envy her for only two
things—knowing things ahead so, and
that pretty head of hair she’s got. And
that feather bed does make three,” she
added, reflectively. “I don’t hope. any-
thing’ll happen, but it wouldn’t be
strange if I had that bed before fall.
Injuns are so treach’rousl ”
Luviny arrived that. night with her
charges—three Indian boys ranging
from 14 to 10 years of age. Their ap-
pearance was a surprise to the North
Part-on. people who had gathered to
meet them at the little station. It was
more—it was a disappointment as well.
“It certainly isn’t treating us square-
ly!” grumbled old Mr. Brooks, as Lu-
viny, with a. pleasant nod to all, briskly
looked after the baggage, and led the
trio of stolid-faced youths to the wagon
where the hired man awaited them.
“No procession, nor no paint nor feath-
ers. Looks ’s if Luviny intended to de-
ceive us.”
“Luviny’d ought to know North Par-
ton folks better,” said Miss Myers.
“We didn’t aim to be dead set against
the savages, but bringing ‘cm here dis-
guised like civilized beings ain’t- the
thing. Its imposition and looks to me
like treachery, and Miss Pope’s got
grounds for her prediction.”
It was too bad; but Luviny did not.
know that the people were disappoint-
ed as she saw her charges safely in the
wagon, and nodded good-naturedly
again to those watching her.
‘Miss Pope received them with solemn.
resignation, and that night she heard
Luviny’s plans concerning them with
the same subdued spirit, only sighing
as she whispered:
“‘W ell, I hope you'I ll live to carry out
these plans, if y’ou re set on’t. As for
me, I know I haven’t got long to stay
here, but I must say I hain’t ever
thought that when I went, it’d be by
scalpingl” _
“Why, Aunt Pope, what do you
mean?” exclaimed Luviny.
“Luviny, you’ve never been an Injun,
even if you have lived a whole year
A leopard can’t- change his
spots, and it’s Injun nature to scalp
when there’s anything to scalp, and it‘s
borne. in on me that mine’ll go before
fall. But it‘.; right to protect yourself,
and I’ve got double locks on the doors,
and the In juns must sleep in the wood-
house chamber.”
So they slept there, while Luviny
cheerily laughed at her aunt’s fears,
and kept the boys busy about the
farm until Jake, the hired man, lost his
qualms concerning them.
“The redskins are proper nice boys,”
he observed at the shop one day, “only
it seem ’s if they’d ought to have Injun
names, instead of being Joe and Ed-
ward and John. But Miss Pope, she's
so set against ’em that Luviny’s going
to see about sending ’em to the school
where they were going" to be sent in
the fall.”
“And I don’t wonder. I’ve noticed
L’rilly’s hair ’s get-ting grayer in front,
and I guess Luviny’s kind 0’ shaky of
’em herself. Talk about civilizing In-
juns and sending ’em to school! Bet-
ter send ’em to—Halifax!” Miss Myers
contemptuously ended.
The day before Luviny had set to take
the boys away, she said to Jake:
“They’ll have to go, and you may as
well take us to the station in the
morning.”
“Can’t, anyway, to-morrow,” he re-
plied decidedly. -“I‘hat hay’s got to
come in before it gets a. soaking. It's
the sewing-bee at Miss Myers’, to-mor-
row, too, and Miss Pope isn’t going to
lose her scalp‘ in that time, especially if'
she’s with the women.”
'80 the departure was deferred one
day, and Luviny went to the sewing-
3‘
ing L11e1e she came
‘ “That w Opple-sided Spot-on-the—Facc
Joe’. 1: up in the woods, and the other
two '1'c with Jake, so Iain’t afraid but
I’ll get over to Miss Myers’ when the
bread gets out,” she had said, in urging
Luvin y not to wait for her. .
Time passed rapidly, and the after—
110011 was wearing away, but still Miss
Pope had not made her appearance at
the sen ing bee.
“Luviny , me the Injuns there yet.
'some one questioned suggestively.
“Oh, yes; but really, it is too absurd
to fear those boys. Aunt’s baking has
kept her.”
“Luviny Gordon!” Miss Myers rushed
in wild and breathless. “L’rilly said
so, and it’s come—she’s scalpedl”
“What!” shrieked the chorus.
“I saw it myself! That wopple-legged
J oc’s waving it out there, and just
dancing :1 war-jig with his jibberish!
We’ll all come next!”
Luviny turned slightly pale, and
rushed out of the back door. There
was Joe, gesticulating excitedly while
he waved a handful of gray-brown hair
that all instantly recognized. At. sight
Of Luviny he dashed off, beckoning her
to follow.
“You may t going to let him lead you
into an ambush and scalp you, too
Luviny Gordon?” screamed Miss Myers
to Luviny, who was hurrying after the
boy; but, getting no reply. she valiantly
seized the hoe and hurried after her,
the others following in aflright in her
wake.
“What has happened ?” cried Luviny,
as she reached the spring well in. the
back field where Jake and Edward and
John were lifting a body clothed in
Miss Pope’s unmistakable black silk.
“I should think you could see for
yourself!” came in testy tones from the
body, which stood rigidly erect as Miss
Pope herself was set upon her feet and
stood glaring at the crowd about her.
“Of course we can, and you aren’t
dead yet!” cried Miss Myers. “Why
don’ t you tie’ em up?” she exclaimed to
Jake.
“N o, I ain ’tdead,” snapped Miss Pope,
“but. it’s a. miracle I ain’t—nothing
legs!”
“I should say!” Miss Myers returned,
staring at her in amazement. “And
your scalp gone, too! ” she faintly said.
“What!” Miss Pope’s hand went to
93’
her head. “Gracious! What did
they—”
“I no take it!” 'I ’
Joe reached out. to her a mass of gray- ..
brown hair, and gazed in awe as she
caught it and clapped it upon her head.
“Well, you know it now, if you didn’t
before!” she said, sharply, as she de-
fiantly faced her astonished neighbors.
“It’s a. false front!” :
“Land of the living! And it ain’t
your scalp!” Miss Myers dropped the
hoe, with more disappointment in her
tones than she was aware of.
“No ’tain’t! Scalpsdon’t come off
with your bonnet! ” Miss Pope retorbed.
Turning to Jake, she cried out: “If you
don’t have that old trap of a well fixed
before night, I’ll give 'you your walk-
ing papers to-morrow!”
The matter was explained. Miss
Pope had undertaken to cross to her
neighbor’s by the well-lot, and an in-
cautious step upon an old board had
let her down into its depths. Luckily
she fell only a. portion of the distance,
where she was caught across some
boards which had previously fallen in.
Her screams had failed to reach her
busy neighbors’ ears, but the boys; re-
turning to the house, had heard her,
and Edw ard’s strong arms held her up
while John hurried a fter Jake, and Joe
rushed f01 Luviny with the strange ob—
ject in his hand—for which he could not
account until he saw its ready adapt-
ability.
“And so the In-juns aren’t gone yet,
Jake says?” Miss Myers remarked in-
quiringly, as she dropped into Miss
Pope’s a few days later.
“No, and they ain’t going,” Miss Pope
replied.
“Well, I am surprised! You know
what you said,” she ventured to ob-
serve.
“Well, yes; and you know they say
truth’s to be found at the bottom of a
well, but I didn’t have to go’s far down
as that for it. I don’t forget that those
boys saved my life, and Luviny’ s right
—-Injuns can be civilized!”
“But, Miss Pope, you said—”
“Yes, I knew, and it’s all come out
so, hasn’t it? I said you’d be mightily
shocked before fall, and you will be if
you ain’t, for the boys are going to have
a- home here till they get through
school; and I said you’d find me scalped,
and you did, didn’t you?”
“And I couldn’t so." another word
about her predicting," Miss: Myers in-
formed her hearers, us she spread the
news-through North Parton. “And I
don’t envy her a. mite now—especially
as I’ve got the feather-bed.”-——Youth's
Companion.

An Arctic Baby.
The arctic ocean doesn’t seem to be
the most delectable place for a birth-
place. But a baby was born there not
long ago on Herschel island. This was
nearer to the north pole than any baby
was ever born before. Of course, there
are Eskimo babies in the arctic region, .
but not so far north as this, and besides.
this was a white baby. Herschel is-
land is off the north coast of Alaska.
1,500 miles farther north than Sitka.
There are a. few white people on the is-
land, families .of the Whalers who cruise
in these waters. There was great ex—
citement over the arrival of the little
stranger, and the wives of the four
w haling captains who were there, were
ready to almost idolize her; an Episco~
pal minister was in the camp at the
time, having been sent there as a mis-
sionary. 'VVit-h all the ceremony pos-
sible in such a place, the little girl was
christened Helen Herschel Sherman,
her father being Capt. Sherman. The
baby came at the season of the year
which has continuous daylight, and
seemed ve1 y much pleased with such a
- sunny world. She may be lost' in Wonder
