Blind ‘
Sometimes persons become blind
from impure blood, which develops
scrofulous ulcers on the eyeballs, iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such oases
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has '~ been marvel-
ously successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing the
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 Itook 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,

take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat
her meals in a darkened room, but new

The Saddle
Question.
it This is an illustration
of the old style saddle.
‘ If you will observe it
carefully you will note
that it fits like a glove
(and a saddle should
not). It presses the sen-
‘ sitive parts, causes sore-
ness, stiffness and chaf-
ing, and has made cycl-
ing to a certain extent
injurious, because few
could enjoy a long ride
withouttfear of injury.
All this is now changed. . Here is repre-
sented the perfect saddle—the Christy
Anatomical Saddle, r _ _
showing the pelvis as it ,
rests on the pads. The \
Christy Anatomical
Saddle is the only
saddle that is built
right. Made of metal, .
at light weight, cannot
warp or change its
shape, has pads that
rest the entire body,
does not press the sen-
sitive parts, prevents
stiffness, and makes
cycling a pleasure.

SOMETHING WONDERFUL:
The .‘New Experience of an Amer-
ican Traveler Abroad. .
no Actually Runs Across a Man in 3
Barber Shop Who :Willingly Yields
His “Next” Privilege to
Another. “iii .4
A New Yorker who recently returned
to the city afteraforeign tour says that
he enjoyed one experience while abroad
the like of which he never before heard
of, says the Sun Of that city. “During
my life in New York, for forty years,”
he said, “I have met plenty of nice
people and seen more acts of courtesy
and deeds of kindness than would fill a.
book. I have known of a skinfiint giv-
ing money to the needy, and of a pas-
senger in an elevated car resigning his
seat to a. woman, and of a Wall street
man with Christian symptoms, and of
a. smoker handing his lighted cigar
right end foremost to a stranger who
asked a light, and of a human being
win ~‘-"'*_:_‘:s had a match when anybody
“C1‘I-.:_ ~12, and of a. woman who would
dot;- cn the beauty of another without
jua;0-l.-.,‘. and of an entertainer who
would cut for his guest abetter piece of
porterhouse steak: than he kept for him-
self, and even of a curmudgeon who
would, upon occasion, give proof that
there was a streak of virtue in him. All
such things one can safely expect at
times in the world.
“But, though I have been a. customer
at barbers’ shops in New York for
twenty years, .I never saw and never
heard ofa case in which a man who,
when it came his‘ turn to get in the
chair for a. shave, and when the barber
cried ‘N extl’ would resign his place to
any other man in waiting. He will
stick up for his rights there against the
world. I have seen many a quarrel,
and two or three fights, between men
waiting to get shaved, when there was
a crowd, as to which one came in first.
Iwas angry myself one day‘ when a
fellow who had been getting his boots
blacked in the rear of the barber shop,
and whom I had not seen, stepped up
to a chair which I was about to take,
and said he had Come in before me. No
matter if another man is in a hurry, or
if he must catch a train, or if his wife
is anxious about him because he is too
late for dinner, you~rvon’t give up your-
turn in the barber’s chair on his ac
count. ' There is one of his rights a
man will stand up for, and you can see
it at the barber’s. - en‘zii’i’l'tfl‘”
“When I went abroad I found the
same thing in England and France. In
London once I asked a barber if he
could not put me ahead, and he
answered sharply that he would not
do it for the bank of England. The
Parisians are polite everywhere ex-
cept in the barber’s Shep when their
turn comes, and you would have to
fight a. duel if you asked one of them
to let you get shaved before him be-
cause your soup was growing cold.
“It was in my programme, after see-
ing the French and English, to take a
trip through the highlands of Scotland.
I saw plenty of historic spots as I made
my way far up on the Grampian hills,
where the frugal swains feed their
flocks, and further yet, where the fish-
ermen breast the waves; but I would
give them all away for an experience I
had when I reached an ancient town
beyond the Grampians one Saturday
afternoon. At the. inn I asked for a
barber, as I wanted to go to church the
next day, and muSt be shaved. When
I got to the barber’s place his only
chair was filled, and four or five cus-
tomers were waiting their turn. In a.
few moments the chair was emptied,
and I expected that one of the men
would Spring into it.. Not a man
moved. The barber looked at me,
smiled, and told me he was ready for
me. I said to him in a low voice that
several others had been there before
me. ‘I dinna mind that,’ he replied.
‘You’re a. stranger up here, maybe an
American, and the stranger always
comes first wi’ us.’ I glanced at the
other men as if to apologize or to se-
cure their assent. ‘Aye,’ said one of
them, ‘the stranger must always be
first here; we can wait.’ I took the
chair with thanks, and the price of a
shave was two-pence.
“The seven wonders of the world, all
put together, and with the addition of
Cleopatra’s Needle in the Central park,
would not have impressed me as deeply,
as I was impressed by this romantic in- .
cident, never before paralleled in my
experience. I have traveled from Bos-
ton to Chicago, fromCripple Creek to
New Orleans, without ever hearing of
a thing of the kind.
“I do not suppose that many Amer-
icans possess sufficient brain power to
'believe in the literal‘truth of this inci-
dent; yet, for all that, it is true as the
Grampian hills of the highlands of Scot-
land, where it occurred. .1 have told
the story to two or three Scotchmen
since I came back to New York, but
they did not think there was anything
curious or sensational about it.”
‘ She Knew Thom.
At a teachers’ association in Newark
the other day a class of small children
were giving an exercise in phonics.
The teacher had received correct an-
swers to descriptions she had given
them of trees, wood, etc., and then
thought she would describe a. brook.
“What do you find running through the
woods, moving silently on the ground,
with but little noise?" she asked. For
a long time the little ones were quiet,
and then a little hand was raised.
“Well, Bessie, what is the answer?”
the teacher questioned. smilingly.
“Tramps,” piped out the little one.
Ballad Up.
Lawyers are not more free than other
public speakers from slips of the
tongue. Mr. Asquith, of the English
,ment, said: “Let it be known, gentle-
men, that of those just demands we
abate not one jit or tottle!” A few
days later an English judge, after a.
policeman had‘ testified that he had
found the prisoners in bed with their
clothes on, asked, in amazement: “Do
you mean to say that they had gone to
boot with their beds on?” ' '

WHALE ON A CABLE.
The Insulation Damaged by the Flounder;
ing of the Big Fish. '
Submarine cables are usually im-
bedded in the slimy bottom of the
ocean, but. at certain points they hang
like wire bridges over deep submarine
valleys, so that whales and other large
inhabitants of the deep may become
dangerous to the cable. Once in awhile
it is the cable that becomes dangerous
to the whales, as recently shown in an
accident to the
cable. There Was some trouble with
the wire, and after many futile efforts
the seat of the trouble was discovered
76 miles north of Santa Catharina. The
repair ship Viking was sent to repair
the damage, and began to take up the
cable near where the seat of trouble
had been located. After the cable
proper had been grappled and was
taken up on the large drums provided
for the purpose it was found that it
floated very much easier and was more
buoyant than was ordinarily the case.
The reason was discovered when in a
loop of the cable the carcass of a whale
of more than 60 feet in length came up
with it. It appears that the whale
had become caught under the cable,
and, not being able to lift it nor to go
forward or back, it suffocated, since
it could no more rise to the surface. By
its last spasms or attempts to free it-
self the whale had damaged the cable
so that the insulation was rubbed off
and the wire became useless. ,This is
the third case of the kind, since a. sim-'
ilar case once happened in the Persian
_ gulf and another on the Peruvian coast.
PEACEFUL BY NATURE. .:.:i:‘-'?'
The Egyptian Abhors Warfare, as Did
His Fathers Before Him.
The ordinary Egyptian is by instinct
utterly opposed to military life. The
last thing he wants to do in the world is
to fight. He hates the pomp and cir-
cumstance of glorious war, and nothing
in his nature is appealed to by the idea.
of strife and combat.
He is a good-tempered, pleasuredov-
ing, man, and for 5,000 years his ances-
tors before him have loathed the clash
Go back as far as you like in
Egyptian history and you will never
find a. trace of the Viking Spirit in the
inhabitants of the Nile valley. The suc-
cessful wars of the Pharaohs were
waged by mercenaries, and the papyri
show that the military calling was
always described as pure evil. The rec-
ords ShOW little delights in battle, but
plenty of picturesque contrasts between
the horrible miseries endured by the
soldier in the field and the pleasant,
snug life of the civilian tribe.
The spirit of the old Dane who when
he felt death approaching put on his
armor, because he would not die like a.
cow in his house, has no echo in. the
past or in the present of the true

REBUKES. FROM ' THE BENCH.
Lord Chief Justice Erie Gently Sits D‘pwn.‘
on the Counsel. ' .
Lord Chief Justice Erle was prone to
interrupt counsel when it was found
that the judges had already made up
their minds against him. On one occa-
sion Mr. Bovill, Q. (2., soon‘afterward
made a judge, was stopped with: “Here
we stand, four men, and we have all
firmly (emphasizing the adverb) made
up our minds that there must be a new
trial; but if you think it worth your
while going on after that (playfully),
why, of course, we’ll keep on hearing
you.” Whereupon the Q. C. laughing-
ly sat down. On another occasion he
interrupted with: “I beg to inform the
counsel ‘there is a. time in the mind of
every man at which he lets down the
floodgates of his understanding and al-
lows not one more drop to enter;’ and
that time in my mind has fully arrived.”
The Next French Census.
The visitors who are living in hired
villas on the Riviera. are all to be in-
cluded in the next French census.
Among those who will fill out the sen-
sus papers are the queen of England,
the empress dowager of Russia, the
czarowitz and her two youngest chil-
dren, the grand duke and duchess of
Meckle-nburg-Schwerin, the duke and
duchess of Parma, the duchess dowager
of Coburg and Lord and Lady Salis-
bury. The king of the Belgians, the
prince of Wales and other birds of pas-
sage in hotels or yachts will be ex-
empted.
Bank Notes Make Good Fuel.
The novel spectacle of a. steamer’s
furnaces being fed with bank notes was
recently witnessed at a Mediterranean
port. Forty sacks of the apparently
valuable paper Were tossed into the fur-
nace under the longing eyes of the
stokers, who stood restively by with an
evidently burning desire 'to possess
themselves of at least a handful of that
which they somewhat inelegant-ly styled
"rum fuel.” The notes were canceled
notes of the bank of Algiers, whose
manager superintended the operation
of their absolute combustion.
She Couldn’t Wait.
When Mme. Melba was in Washing-
ton recently .she met Speaker Reed in
the capitol. “Why don’t you have a
fight here?” she said to him, in laugh-
ing. protest. “I would much rather see
a fight than hear a speech.” “Then,
why didn’t you let me know you were
coming?” said Speaker Reed, gallantly.
“I would have had a fight for your spe-
cial delight: and if you will only wait.
{I will go on the floor and start a row
this minute.” But Mme. Melba couldn’t.
wait, and the speaker’s ofier came to
naught.
Just for the Sight of Blood.
Every bull killed in a. Mexican bull
fight is allowed to gore two horses if he
will. The Mexicans love the sight of
blood and applaud frantically when the
poor horses are torn open. .The horses
used for the purpbse area most miser-
able lot. The owner gets three .dollars
in Mexican money for each, horse sent
into the-ring and $12 additional if the
animal is killed. A Mexican dollar is
worth about 55 cents in American
money. ‘ ' '
