‘- Ilind Sometimes . persons become blind from impure blood, which develops sorofulous 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 radical cure for scrofula, by removing the cause, thus curing the Sore eyes and restoring all the affected par ts to healthy condition. Read this: . “As an act of justice and for the ben- efit of other mothers who may have afiElicted 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- n, 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, Igd goes to school. When she began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat her meals in a darkened room, but now ured she is able to sit at the table with the rest of the family.” MRS. OLLIE BUSER, Colfax, Indiana.

FINANCIAL AND COM M ERCIAL. THE United States imported 206,133,- 906 pounds of wool in the fiscal year ending June 30,‘ 1895, the largest total on record. The second was in 1893 with 172, 433, 838 pounds. DEPOSITS in Irish joint stock banks increased by £2, 000, 000 last year, the total amount in June being £37,500,000, while the savings banks held £7,371,000, an increase of £744,000.

TWO SKELETONS. One Is Over Four Tunes as Large as the Other. The largest and smallest skeletons of humanity ever preserved are kept in the museum of the Royal College of Sur- goons, in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. London, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. One is eight feet four inches 1n height. The other 1s less than two feet. Charles Byrne, the famous Irish giant, who was more generally known as O‘Brien, died in 1783, when helwas 22 years old. His capacity for liquor was in keeping with his high physical proportions. So keen was his anguish over losing all his property—to-wit, a £300 note, that he drank a cask of ale in one day. The day following he was dead. . Bryn‘e had a great dread of becoming a dissecting-room subject. He made a ‘ bargain with a fisherman before he died to take his body out into the channel and throw it overboard. Hunter, the English surgeon, learned 'of this arrangement, and by paying the fishermen $500 he prevailed upon them to ‘carry out their bargain to the letter, but to attach a rope to the body and drag it up again after it. had been im— mersed. The fishermen served two masters and Hunter got the body. The tiny skeleton is that of Caroline Crachami, the Sicilian dwarf, who was exhibited in Europe in the early part of the century. The child did not grow after birtn, and before she reached her teens she died. Her body, it is said, was sold to a Brit- ish surgeon by her parents. Beside the giant’s frame stands one of the boots he wore when he died. The skeleton of the dwarf can he slipped into it as easily as a pipe stem. A MASCULINE WEAKNESS. Every Man Carries His Favorite Remedy Always with film. It is customary for men to sneer good-naturedly at the physical weak- ness of the opposite sex, but women would doubtless be surprised could they know how generally the medicinal rem- edy habit permeates the ranks of their masculine friends. Think over your list of male acquaintances and pick out the few who have no ailments and carry no bottles, powders or preparations. They will be very few indeed, unless your list includes but very few young men, says the New York Herald. It has been said that every woman knows the best face wash on earth and is willing to part with her secret only on compulsion, but will try anything else suggested by a friend. But men are the most obstinate believers in sov- ereign remedies. Every man carries at least one remedy in his inside pocket and is willing to unload it on anybody who will listen or dare to test its in- fallibility. I have known four orvfive healthy-looking men in a group, not one .of whom would be suspected of ever being ill, draw concealed vials or pel- lets and little unsuspected boxes of pills and astonishingly w ordcd prescriptions: from thpir confidential hiding places, and discourse most learnedly upon their miraculous power. In every case of this kind there has been at some time, more or,1es.s remote, an apparent justification of merit claimed, from which time and hence- forth forever that particular individual goes contentedly and even boastingly bound to that medicinal chariot wheel. TH E M USTACH E. How It Became a Symbol of Liberty an ' Fraternity . The mustache, that questionable adornment of a man’s upper lip, is trembling in the balance. The fashion- able man of the hour who eschews this time-honored ornament will tell you that it is a crying and unnecessary evil, and is bound to go. And where can one find a better criterion of such momen— tous subjects than the fashionable man of the hour? In years to come the grandchildren of a beardless race may have to turn to their encyclopedias to find out what a mustache was. Antici- pating this, says the Cincinnati Enquir- er, a sort of advance sheet may be found in the following: The home of the mustache is in Spain. After the Moors first invaded the coun- try the Christian and Moslem popula- tion became so mixed that it was diffi- cult to say which were Moors and which were Spaniards. The Spanish then hit upon a means by which they could at once distin- guish their brethren. They did not shave their lips any longer, and they allowed a tuft of’hair to grow below the mouth, so that their beards formed the rude outline of a cross. Thus the mustache became a symbol of liberty and fraternity. Impznflent, But Gushing. Young women who take books at the circulating library are imprudent to use their pages as blotters. They are doing wrong also, for it is against the rules. A c0py of “Lord Ormond' and His Aminta,” which has been in use in a Philadelphia library, held in front of a mirror revealed the inscription: “I send you my heart with a. kiss.” All women finish their letters with that phrase, which cannot therefore betray anybody but in this case the signature was there. Shoes of the Gauls. Before the Gauls were conquered by the Romans they had boots or shoes with soles in which were silver-headed nails. Some of these have been discov- ered in late years. The latter kind of boots and shoes—tho long pointed ones —~so familiar in pictures of the 14th century, and others, are more generally known. Sabbath in Scotland. Scotland’s Sabbath is losing its sanc- tity.

I., who has spent the winter in Liberia, Africa, studying the plant and animal life of that region, has returned to his home. He says, according to the Repub- lic, that the advantages of Africa as a place of residence, even for the white race, are but imperfectly understood. Liberia is naturally no more unhealth- ful than other tropical countries, 'in which civilization has taken root, such as India and South America, and, as in these cases, the healthfulness increases as the forests are cleared away and bet- ter conditions of life rendered possible through improvements in transporta- tion. Mr. Cook has spent several sea- sons in Africa in pursuing his investi- gation in the interest of the American and the New York State Colonization societies, witha view to- ascertaining the possibility of resuming, under new plans, the colonization of Liberia with negroes from the United States. He says former movements in that direc- tion have failed through want of proper management rather than on account of any insurmountable difficulties inher- ent in the idea of colonization or in the nature of the country Wheresettlements of American negroes were attempted. That something is possible, he says, is demonstrated by the fact- that many colonists who left America 15 or 20 years ago with nothing have now cofiee farms, yielding incomes greater than their owners can spend, while others have achieved independence in much less time. 'MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT. President McCosh’s Novel Method of Com-' plying with a Request. President McCosh, of Princeton, is the subject of this story, says the New York Call, w hich is vouched for by old I-‘ iinceton men: “The venerable doctor was accustbmed to lead the morning exercises in the chapel every day, and during the exercises in the chapel gave out the notices to the students. The closing exercise was a. fervent prayer by the doctor. One morning, after he had read the notices as usual, at student came up with another notice that ,I-‘rof. Karge’s French class would be at nine o’clock that day, instead of 9:30, as usual. Dr. McCosh said it was too late, but the student insisted that ‘Prof. Earge would be much disappointed if the notice was not read. The exercises went on, and the doctor forgot all about the notice. He started to make the final prayer. He prayed for the president of the United States, the members of the cabinet, the senators and representa- tives, the governor of New Jersey, the mayor and other officials of Princeton, and then came to the professors and' 111- structors in the college. In the mean- time Prof. Krage’s noticecame into his mind and the assembled students were astonished to hear the venerable presi- dent say: ‘And, 0 L011], bless Prof Karge, whose .‘r‘ rench Class will be held this morning at nine o’clock, instead of at 9:30, as usual.’ ” CH EERFU L PROSPECT. What a. Young Minister Had to Inspire Pleasant Thoughts. A nervous young minister, in visiting a neighboring village, had an unpleas- ant experience. The old lady at whose house he stayed, in showing him to his room, said: “It ain’t anybody I’d put in this room. This here room is. full of sacred associa- tions to me,” she went on. “My first husband died in that bed with his head on these pillows, and poor Mr. Jenks died sitting in that corner. Sometimes when I come into the room in the dark I think I see him sitting there still. My own father died layin’ right on that lounge right under the window there. Poor pa, he was a Spiritualist, and he allus said he’d appear in this room after he died, and sometimes I am foolish enough to look for him. If you should see anything of him to-night you’d better not tell me. It’d be a sign to me that there was something in spiritual- ism, and I’d hate to think that. My son by my first man fell dead of heart dis- ease right where you stand. He was a doctor, and there’s two whole skele- tons in that closet there belonged to him, and half a dozen skulls in that lower drawer. If you are up early and want something to amuse yourself with before breakfast just open that; cupboard there and you will find a lot of dead men’s bones. My poor boy thought a lot of them. Well, good- night, and pleasant dreams.” EXERCISE A NECESSITY. Early Decline of Physical Powers Due to Neglect of Athletics. BeyOnd the age of 40—at a period when so many are physically lazy—the superior value of exercise is apparent, but- ordinarily this is just the time when the hygient of athletic: is neg- lected, aptly observes .Rev. 1‘, :1. Root. There is no reason‘why a pun. 15:.53 1,1,; g, rowing machine, pulley we???" -: :.n=‘l other apparatus should be rcle 3.3-. ‘(.'1 to college boys and clerks. But. "moving done a good deal of work in his time, it is almost impossible to persuade a business or professional man turning 40 to give any sort of attention to phys- ical culture if such training has been ' previously neglected. It is an inexora- ble physiological law that we can only retain our bodily or mental powers by . properly using them. Exercise is not a matter of choice, but of necessity. Drinking by Instinct. Some discussion has lately occurred in scientific journals on the question whether newly-hatched chickens will drink water if the mother hen does not set- them the example. Mr. H. W-,EI' liott, in a letter to Science, answers positively that chickens will drink of their own accord. He has frequently placed a dish of water before a. brood hatched the day before, and observed the chiCkens, without any maternal teaching or assistance, putting their bills into the water and lifting up their heads to swallow it, in- the manner'of' full-grown fowls. g. ‘LUUKWOUB'SP New York Announcement. “ Our American Homes and How to Furnish Them.“ ‘lltrini’s 11111111!
