- AN AMERICAN BEAUTY.
The rise of Mrs. Blackie Tanner in English
society can only be likened, for rapidity and
brilliancy, tothe flight of a rocket. Whether
the slmile can be carried any further the fol-
lowing narrative will suflcieutly show.
Mrs. Blackie Tanner‘s history commenced
on board a homeward bound Cunarder. She
was not actually born on board, but it is an
understood thing that American ladies. when
transcendently beautiful, have no antece-
dents. They are born again, as it were, in
crossing the Atlantic. Therefore, when we
have ascertained that Mrs. Blackie Tanner
duly paid her fare as a saloon passenger by
the Umbria, and brought with her at least
double the quantity of luggage that a pros-
perous duchess would require, it is unneces-
sary to push inquiries further back. Let us
suppose that she rose from the sea in New
York harbor just before the Cunarder sailed
—like the American Venus that she certainly -
was.
Mrs. Tanner, who, wherever she came
from, had been brought up with her eyes
open, crossed in the autumn, when a good
many English people worth knowing were
booking their passages homeward. She was
thus able to turn her six days in the saloon of
the Umbria to very. good account. Before
die landed at Liverpool she had secured
invitations to a couple of nnexcepti’onable
country houses, one of which was Lord Old-
entofl's hospitable mansion in Suffolk. Lord
Oldentofl was a widower, and had no notion
of changing his condition, but he fell, never-
theless, a good deal under the sway of the
fair American, and made himself useful to
herin more ways than one. Among other
things he wrote a diplomatic little note, com-
mending her to the good graces of his cousin,
Lady Gertrude Huughton, who had reigned
for a long period as one of the queens of Lon-
don society, and who was privileged to move
inthat sacred inner circle of fashion which
has its center in Marlborough house. By
sedulously improving her opportunities
in this and other ways Mrs. Blackie Tan-
ner made enough friends before the next
London season openedto insure herapros-
rous debut in the metropolis, and once
urrched there her beauty, talents and knowl-
edge of the world soon did the rest. In her
upward career, however, she owed nothing
to the favor of Lady Gertrude Haughton, the
reason for which shall now be explained.
By dint of constant clrcumspection in her
conduct and company, Lady Gertrude
Haughton had succeeded in achieving a repu-
tation for rigid exclusivenms which was al-
most uniqueg in fact, by many competent
judges, to be on Lady Gertrude’s visiting list
was regarded as an evenmoresatisfactory
social testimonial than' to have kissed the
hand of the sovereign or dined at the table of
the heir apparent. It need hardlybe said,
therefore. that Lady Gertrude was not the
person toaccept an aspirant for social end.
Dance on .a mere certificate from a vagrant
nobleman that he had picked up this lady on
the deckof arr-Atlantic steamer and found
her as charming as she was beautiful. Her
ladyship made an agreeable reply to Lord
Oldentoff’s letter; but she determined that
she would personally investigate the fair
American before committing herself.
It was not long before an opportunity of so
doing presented itself in the shape of an invi-
tation to a certain Mrs. Gatherum's, where
the new beauty was to be on view. v this
time Indy Gertrude‘s interest in Mrs isckie
Tanner was stimulated by the reports which
had reached her of that lady’s marvelous fas-
cinations. She accordingly swallowed cer-
tain antipathies toward Mrs. Gatherum and
went to inspect the American wonder. On
entering the room her ladyship was pleased
to meet an intimate acquaintance of her own
from the United States in the person of Mr.
Southern Polo, the great traveler, who had
lately taken up his abode in this country.
This gentleman Lady Gertrude soon contrived
to take aside into a corner, where they could
discuss the guest of the evening without in-
terruption.
“She is very beautiful,” said her ladyship.
glancing toward the spot where Mrs. Blackie
Tanner stood in the center of an admiring
group. “You have every right to be proud of
your countrywoman. Mr. Polo.”
There could be no question about this.
Mrs. Biackie‘Tanner was quite as beautiful
as rumor represented her, and perhaps more
so; but it was a puzzling kind of beauty, too,
far removed from that of the ordinary
Yankee belle, and yet in some undeflnable
way unmistakably American. She wasjdark
almost to a fault, with a profusion of the hair
which the novelists call blue black, and feat-
ures strongly marked, but beautifully mod-
eled. Though above the average height. she
moved with a grace . and dignity which, if
gifts of nature, were not those which are
often bestowed on mature children in the old
world. Her features, too, had something of
the Vere do Vere repose about them, but this
was neutralized by the fire and vivacityin
her eyes, which were rather deeply set and
keen as a hawk’s.
“It is a very unusual type Of beauty,” said
Lady Gertrude. “Where does she come
from?” .
“I have heard the question asked a dozen
times, and I know no more than your lady-
ship," replied Mr. Polo. “And yet, oddly
enough, I am convinced that I have seen her
before."
“I wish you could tell me where, Mr. Polo.
I am particularly interested in this lady.”
“I believe I met her somewhere in the west,
butIcannot recall the circumstances. My
friend Petersen would recognize her, I have
no doubt. I will send him her photograph.
They are to be had at any shop.”
“I hope you will not take that trouble on
account of what I said,” observed Lady Ger-
trade.
But, nevertheless, on the following morn-
ing Mr. Polo dispatched a copy of the new
beauty's photograph to Mr. Petersen, who
had been the companion of his travels. The
truth was that he himself felt not a little
curiosity about Mrs. Blackie Tanner’s early
history, having watched with some amuse-
ment the success in English society of two or
three of his fair compatriots, who, like the
prophets, had been entirely without honor in
their own country. Inthe coumo of a mail
.or two he got his answer. and then he remem-
bered Mrs. Blackie Tanner well enough. He
did not convey the whole of his information
to Lady Gertrude, but be told her enough
when they next met to decide her that she
could not act upon Lord Oldentofi’s recom-
mendation. Her ladyship was even induced
to take a still stronger step, and one which
involved her in no slight inconvenience and
annoyance.
Now, within a few days of the above men-
tioned communication from Mr. Polo, an in-
timation was conveyed‘to Lady Gertrude by
acertain channel that the presence of Mrs.
Blackie Tanner at her la'dyship’s forthcoming
reception would be specially gratifyingto her
royal guest. It was'a bitter trial, but Lady
Gertrude never wavered for an instant. Re—
gretfully, but firmly, she gave it to be under-
stood that her invitations had been sent out,
and that the list could not be supplemented.
In vain her old friend, Mr. Christie Jones, the
favored ornament of “the set,” pointed out the
consequences of her refusal.
“It‘will give great offense,” he said, “and
you know what that means.”
“I do, and I am sorry for it. But I must
draw the line somewhere.” -
“But why draw it here? Royal favor covers
a multitude of sins. Besides, how do you
know that there are any sins in this case
which require covering!”
“I will tell you what I know, and you shall
judge for yourself.” And with that Lady
Gertrude, after exactingapromise of secrecy,
told Mr. Jones what she had heard about the
American beauty. The revelation caused
him much amusement.
“Might I ask you, Lady Gertrude,” he said,
“where you heard this! I should like to
verify it. It might be useful. ”
Her ladyship gave the name of her inform-
ant, and Mr. Jones departed.
Lady Gertrude‘s little party came 00', but
no royal personage was present. The fact
could not but excite remark, and‘ when-others '
of a similar character were soon afterward
observed, the truth was quickly apparent
that Lady Gertrude Haughton w.-.s in dis-
grace. Her ludyship put the best. face she
could upon her full. “Put not your trust in
princes," she observed. with a sweet smile.
“I hope that when the new favorite comes to
be superseded, she will accept her- fate with
as much philosophy as I do.”
Early in Mrs. Tanner's second season In
London, Mr. Christie Jones called upon Lady
Gertrude Haughton, and, after waiting for
an opportunity of speaking to her in private,
requested that he might be allowed to secure
her a seat on the occasion of the forthcoming
royal visit to the Wild West show at the
American exhibition.
“I have a particular reason for asking,” he
said, “and I want you to occupy a place near
the royal box."
Lady Gertrude demurrcd to this, saying
that she felt no interest in the show, and that
if she went she would rather be in any other
locality than that indicated.
“It is not the show I want you to see.” said
Mr. Jones. “lhe fact is, I have a little sur-
prise in store for the visitors which I am very
anxious you should witness. If you will allow
me, I will secure a place from which you will
be able to see all that passm in the royal box,
and yet need not showyourself until the mo-
ment arrives.”
“It sounds very mysterious." said Lady
Gertrude. “What is going to happen?”
“I cannot say for certain. It may not come
off; but if it does, I promise you shall be re-
paid for going, unless Lady Gertrude
Haughton is even more superior to the minor
weaknesses of her sex than I have hitherto
supposed.” ' '
Her ladyship was, at any rate, not proof
against this, and therefore gave a gracious
consent, leaving Mr. Jones to make the ar-
rangement he propomd.
On the appointed day she betook herself to
the exhibition and found that she had been
provided with seats Wag all the ad van-
tages which Mr. Jones had mentioned, and
within earshot of the royal box She had
scarcely taken her seat when the royal party
entered, and she was soon info ed by her

among me little group or celebrities. l u was
noticeable, however, that the Ameriqgn beau-
ty, instead of taking up the prominent posi-
tion usually assigned to her, seated herself in
the background, where she was quite out of
sight of the public.
The performance passed off without a
hitch, and the denizens of the wild west
evoked the utmost enthusiasm in the breasts
of the British public. Toward thp end of the
entertainment Mr. Christie Jones was ob-
served to confer with the prince and then
leave the royal box. A few minutes later he
put his head into Lady Gertrudc’s box and
“Some of the wild westerners
are going to be presented to the prince. It’s
all right. Now watch!”
At the same moment the cowboys struck
up “God Bless the Prince of Wales,” and the
audience all rose and embed forward to See
what was going on. .
“Here comes Buffalo Bill l” whispered one
of the younger ladies with Lady Gertrude.
“Isn’t Ire handsome? Look, Lady Gertrude,
the prince is shaking hands with himl”
Lady Gertrude followed the general ex-
ample, and moved to the front of her box.
As she did so she caught the eye of Mrs.
Blackie Tanner, and perceived that lady had
also changed her seat, in order to make way
for the ,Americans, who were being intro-
duoed at the back of the royal box. Mrs.’1‘an-
ner now sat in the front. She held her fan
before her face, however, and looked some-
what pale and worried, and strangely indif-
ferent to the proceedings.
Buffalo Bill was succeeded by one or two of
the other heroes of the show, and then fol-
lowed a curious group. Dog’s Nose, the great
Pawnee brave, with the eagle’s plume upon
his head, the war paint fresh upon his cheek,
and the picturesque garment of his race folded
gracefully across his shoulder, stepped proudly
into the royal presence, 11 perfect type of the
noble savage. Beside him “use less imposing
figure, who might have passed for the noble
savage’s poor relation—an elderly red man
. with unkempt hair and bloodshoteycs, whose
blanket was a thing to shudder at, and whose
countenance looked not. wholly innocent of
the flrewater of the palei‘ace. In the back-
ground stood an unprepossessing old squaw,
several degrees dirtier than the poor relation,
and bent nearly double with age. She was,
in fact, the mother of Dog’s Nose, and she had
determined to witness the historical meeting
between her son and his cousin, the paieface
chief.
The brief ceremony over, there was a mo-
ment’s pause while the Old‘ squaw addressed a
few words in an excited tone to the men, who
conferred together. Then the Pawnee chief,
in fairly good English, asked if Ire might
crave a favor of his cousin. The affable chief
of the palefaces having given a gracious as-
sent, the Pawnee cxplained that it was the de-
sire of their eyes to bohold the features of the
radiant palcface daughter who sat in the
corner of the box. Upon Mrs. Blackie Tan-
ner’s attention being called to this request she
disdainfully lowered a corner of her fan, still
partly averting her head. -
The effect was electrical. Oblivious of the
royal presence, the two Pawnees bounded into
the air with a warwhoop which rang through
the building.
“Rosalie, our sisterl" cried Dog's Nose, as
he landed on his feet. .
“Rosalie, my wife!” cried the poor relation,
adding in the same breath, “Potosuquituckis-
sipi,” the Pawnee equivalent for “Thunder
and turf!”
Simultaneously the tattered squaw cast up
her hands to heaven and utter-ed adismal
howl. Then she rushed wildly upon Mrs.
Blackie Tanner; but before she accomplished
her purpose the fashionable beauty collapsed
in a heap upon the floor.

IMPROVING PLANTS.
COMPARATIVELY LITTLE HAS BEEN
DONE BY MODERN NATIONS.
Discovery in the Mountains of Central
Asia—What the Digger Indians Have
Accomplished—Mines of \Vealtlr in
Common Plants.
The report that some Russian soldiers have
discovered among the mountains of central
Asia a new variety of asparagus. the stalks of
which are four or five inches in diameter and
eight or ten feet in height, is well calculated
to bring joy to the hearts of boarding house
keepers. By devoting a small portion of their
back yards to the production of this vegeta-
ble they can keep their tables supplied with
what is now classed among the somewhat
costly luxuries at a merely nominal cost.
Enterprising seedsmen have long been fur-
nishing what they call “gian ” asparagus, so
that this name cannot be applied to this newly
discovered variety. It is likely that it will
be called “boarding house" asparagus and
that it will become as common as bush and
“boarding house steak.”
This discover , if it turns out to be as re
ported, should serve to stimulate explorations
for the purpose of finding other new vegeta-
bles valuable for food. It is certain that
modern civilized nations have done compara-
tively little by way of discovering plants
valuable for food or in domesticating or im-
proving thosc found growing wild. 'Few of
them have taken pains to bring together all
the food furnishing plants found in different
parts of the world. One of the generals of'
Alexander the Great on his expeditionto con-
quer the cast was left at Bagdad as governor,
and in two years’ time, it is said, he had
growing in and about the city every variety
of edible vegetable, grain and fruit known
in southern Europe. He also introduced all
kinds of European trees, shrubs and vines
that were valuable either for their beauty or
utility.
. IMPROVING NATIVE PLANTS.
The Europeans on coming to this country
found the natives cultivating maize or Indian
corn, potatoes and tobacco, and these crops
soon produced most important changes in
many parts of the old world. There are good
reasons for believing that these plants were
very inferior when growing in their Wild
state. They were improved by long and
careful cultivation by persons still in the sav—
age state. The Digger Indians, the lowest in
the scale of advancement of all the native
tribes, are credited with domesticatlng and
improving more than twenty plants. The so
called superior races, who. have driven the
Indians from their homes, have done less
than they did in improving native plants.
The most promising wild fruits ever found in
any country were the papaw and persimmon,
which were distributed over a large portion
of the territory included in the United States;
still they have received scarcely any attention
from the white settlers. Wild rice is proba~
bly the most valuable grain produced any-
where, but no attempt has been made to in-
‘crme its cultivation or'rto cause it to grow
so that all the grain on a head will mature
and ripen at the same time, as those Of wheat,
rye, oats and barley now do.
The origin of many of our most valuable
cultivated plants is, not known. No one
knows who discovered them, when they were
domesticated or how they looked before they
passed under cultivation. Few of them can
longer be found in a wild state. As wild
plants it seems likely that they have entirely
disappeared from the surface ,of the earth.
Some may have undergone such changes by
cultivation that they would not be recognized
in their wild state.
communes or THE GROUND.
It is generally believed that every plant
was created for some useful purpose; still no
use has been found for one plantin a bun-
dred. There may be mines of wealth in many
common plants found in most parts of this
country that are now regarded as simply
“cumbercrs of the ground." Professor Ben],
the eminent practical botanist, has defined a
weed as “a plant out of place, or for which no
use has yet been found." He appears to be
hopeful that the time will come when a use
will be found for all our native plants, many
of which are now regarded as positively in—
jurious. It is likely that some of them need
only to be cultivated in order to develop most
valuable qualifies. It is quite likely that
many plants entirely useless in one country
may become very valuable by transporting
them to unorhcr part of the world where the
soil and climate are very different.
The nature of some plants has almost en-
tire] y L'hilIIgUil by removing them from Eng-
land to Australia. The common water cross
of northern llriropc planted beside a stream
in Australia assumes the proportions of a
stately true. What is chiefly needed for agri—
cul.urul prosperity in the southern states is a
grass SIIILL‘II to the peculiar soil and climate
of those parts of the country. Possibly it
might be found in some humble plant com-
mon in New Zeakmd or Siberia. There is no
more promising iiehl for enterprise than the
acclimation of foreign plants and the im-
prov. hunt of native ones by careful cultiva-
tion. AI. Uiu pixscnt time Inuch Inore atten-

THE CONGO STATE.
Novel Horrors Connected with the l'un-
laborth of a Native Criminal—A Medl-
clno Man’s Test for “'llclmr-nft—Tor-
turing a Victim.
Two or three weeks before the bishop‘s nr-
rival Ir man died in the village, and, as is fre-
quently the case, the medicine man had been
summoned to declare what Oi‘l'fllIIL‘I‘ who had
been the cause of it. Tire doctor. after the
usual demonstrations, oruculux' utterances,
frenzied dancing and other tomfoolcry, had
fixed the responsibility for the death upon a
captain of the tribe. The truth undoubtedly
was that this captain had done something to
offend the doctor, who took this way of get-
ting cvcn. The captain was broughtbcforo
the king umlchargcd with the crime of be-
witclring he deceased. He denied the charge
and was then ordered to dfink a cup of a kind
of tea made from the sasswood tree. It is a
deadly poisonous mixture. The medicine
men tell the king that if a man who is guilty
drinks of it, he will die; but an innocent man
will not be banned. Whoever drinks of
course dies immediately in terrible agony,
and the prestige of the doctor is heightened
accordingly.
The captain in this instance refused to
drink the tea. He was sent away from the
king’s presence for a day or two pending
further consideration of the case, but that
very night he was shot by an unknown man
in his house. . After six days of suffering the
captain died. His friends besought the repre—
sentative of the free state government to in-
terfere, but Ire hesitated. He was new to his
position and dared not take very decided
measures. So the king of the tribe has be-
stirred himself. The dead captain had been a
favorite of his and the accusation of the doc-
tor had disturbed his majesty. Now that the
captain had been murdered he determined to
punish the criminal. A man was arrested
and tried for the crime and found guilty.
He was, of course, condemned to death.
A NOVEL PUNISHMENT.
When the bishop arrived the hole in the
market place had been completed. It
was somewhat large and deeper- than an
ordinary grave. The object that had at-
tracted the attention Of half of the crowd
was the condemned man himself. IIO sat
on the ground with his hands tied be-
hind his back. Seven feet in front of
him "was a young tree. that had been
bent toward him. The top of the
tree had been cut away, so that a fork made
by the two main branches remained on the
slender trunk. The condemned man's neck
was put in this fork and the ends of the line
were made fast behind his head. The tension
of the tree kept a constant strain on his
throat, not enough to strangle him, but
enough to be painful and to prevent him
from making any motion. He had been sit-
ting thus for hours watching the preparations
for his execution and enduring the gaze of
hundreds of the villagers. Not far away the
king, dressed in a gorgeously colored robe,
sat superintcnding the Operations. The work
progressed in due order, but without the
ceremonious solemnity that characterizes an
execution in Christian countries. The king
gave his instructions when he chose to inter-
fere toa subordinate, who transferred them to
the captain in charge of the workers at the
hole.
When the diggers climbed out and laid aside
their shovels there was a slight pause, and the
crowd gathered closer to the excavation.
Presently the king uttered a command in a
loud voice and several subordinates actually
began the work of execution. They first cut
oil? the tree in front of the captive’s neck,
leaving the prongs of the fork still tied about
him. He was led to the hole and ordered into
it. Up to this time he had preserved a stoical
expression, but at that moment be weakened
and trembled. He cast a pits-ens glance to
ward the king and looked all around him
wildly. One of the executioners hastened
matters by pushing him into the hole. He
fell in a heap on the bottom, and three men
went in after him. They placed him on his
feet, and while one held him steady the others
began to pack dirt about his feet. The work-
men loi‘t on the brink of the hole, carefully
shoveled the earth that had been dug up back
again, and the men inside continued the pack-
ing process.
PERFECTLY HORRIBLE.
The victim wr-ithed and screamed terribly
as the work proceeded, anda gag was inserted
in his mouth to still his cries. The people
with morth curiosity crowded to the edge of
the hole, even to the point of interfering with
the workmen, and a squad of warriors in
armor drove them back. The men in the
hole stamped the earth hard all about the
victim until it was up to his waist. They
. then got out and tho filling in continued more
rapidly, and others helped in the slumping;
The hole was originally so deep that the vic-
tim’s head was more thanafoot below the
surface. When his mouth “as reached care
was taken not to fill in around him until the
rest of the hole had been leveled over. Then
a few shovclfuls thrown upon the bead eil’oct-
ually buried the poor fellow, but the work-
men were still cautious to note exactly where
the head was.
Aftcr all the dirt had been thrown back
And the burial was complete the reason for
their caution became apparent. A workman
came forward with a long. hardwood pole
sharpened and tipped with iron at one end.
This was insert ed into the ground directly
over the Victim’s head, A. movable platform
was produced and men standing on 'it began
to pound the pole down into the ground, The
horrible object of this was to trausflx the
victim through the length of his body. The
pounding was continued Willi Inallets until
the entire length of the pole had been driven
into the ground. Then the implements that
had been used were taken away and the
crowd dispersed.
Much depressed by this iugubr-ious spectacle
the bishop and his conumnions resumed their
journey to Stanley pool -—.-l‘.'I-Ic:r Cor, Globe-

I JAY couco’s NEURALGIA.
His Nerves Yielding to the Strain
Years—“Brown's Brain Ticklcr."
They report now that Jay Gould has be-
come a sufferer from insomnia. And many
say that ire has not a great while to live; that
hebas burned out all the vital material in
the fierce struggle which ended by making
him so many times a millionaire. I doubt
this. There are many interested in produc-
ing the idea that Jay Gould has poor health;
men that are short orr stocks do not want
him to be long on life, but evidence should
be waited for before the report is believed. I
doubt whether Gould is so near his end as
some would have us credit, but there can be
no doubt that his nerves are feeling the long
of
strain of years and that he is gradually yield- '
ing much routine work to his son George, and
training him in preparation for any unfor-
scen but not altogether undrcadcd collapse.
He is a desperate sufferer from neuralgia,
which is liable toattack any portion of his
body at any time,
It is not unusual to see his face in his office,
on the train or in the street suddenly contract
with a spasm of anguish, and sometimes he
has to find a seat instantly because the nerves
in the calves Of his legs are peculiarly sub-
ject to these sudden twinges. He has tried
everything, and the other day, in a fit of ex-
traordinary pain, cabled to Dr. Brown
Sequard, the famous Parisian neurologist, to
send him instantly a prescription that would
relieve him. He had the cablcgram pre-
scription filled, and the chemist told him that
it had all been quite unnecessary, asthat com‘
binntion of drugs was well known here.
Brown Seqnard had given it to thousands be-
fore and it is popularly known as “Brown’s
brain ticklcr.” Jay Gould would make the
fortune of any physician who could restore
to him the power to enjoy all the wealth he
has sacrificed his health to gain.
But as the hair restorer- advertisements al-
ways hedge by saying, “The Golden hair
lifter is warranted to produce a heavy suit of
hair in three weeks, unless the roots have been
destroyed," so wealth and doctors will war-
rant to give health and happiness, unless the
vital force is destroyed. The millionaire is
having a private car built by the Pullmans~
which, like his yacht, is to be named after the
fleet Greek goddess Atalanta. It is a marvel
of luxury and convenience, having among
other things a bath tub, with hot and cold
water, and such skillful ventilation arrange-
ments that heat or cold, dust or vitiated air,
are impossibilitics. ‘It is ten feet longer than
the longest car ever made, and in future the
great stock manipulator will travel every-
where in it. I venture to predict that within
the next fifty years private cars will be as
common among the rich of this country as
private carriages were fifty years ago.—

Into the Midst of Barbarian].
It seems queer, particularly to aforeigner',
to find himself swept out of the heart of a
civilized world into the midst of barbarism
inside of forty-eight hours. I had such an
experience in my recent transcontinental trip
from California. Passing through New
Mexico I saw some Indian towns in which the
houses were built of Inud, and the only in-
gress into each was through an opening in the
to .
with ladders to the roof, dragged the ladder
up after thorn, let it down through the hole
in the roof, and thus gained access into their
abodes. Everything around tirese places was
of the most primitive style, and argued en-
tire absence of civilization. I have collected
photographs of some of these scenes in New
Mexico, which I shall send to relatives in
England, who will be surprised to learn that
such scenes are to be seen in America.—

l have suffered all my life with skin diseases of
dill‘crcnt kinds and have never found permanent
relief until, by the advice of a lady friend, I used
your valuable Cuticuru Remedies. I gave them :1
thorough trial. using six bottles of the Cuticuru
Resolvent, two boxes of Culicura and seven cakes
of CuIIcur'ir Soap,und the results was just what

I was troubled with Salt Rheum for a number of
years so that the skin came entirely off one of my
hands from the finger tips to the wrlst. I tried
remedies and doctor's prescriptions to no purpose
until I commenced taking Cutlcura Remedies,
and now I am entirely cured.

Cmarrh In Its destructive force stands next to

therefore singular that those allilcted with this
fearful disease should not make It the object of
their lives to no themselves of It. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the confidence
of the great majority of sufferers In all adverllzcd_
remedies. They become resigned to a life of
misery rather than torture themselves with doubt—
ful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so
affected as to be useless, the ovula so elongated.
the throat so Inflamed and Irritated as to produce
a constant and distressing cough.
SANl-‘ORD’S RADICAL CURE meets every phase of
cutarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent In.

By keeping digestion good, you get
perfect assimilation of food into the blood,
healthy tone to every organ; and you bar

scatter the seeds of organic disease, and

physicians, and numerous proprietary
remedies, without effect, but a few bottles

it with the same gratifying results, and I
consider it the best cough remedy ever

Jay Gould as a Human Barometer.
Jay Gould might be called the barometer
of national prosperity. Watch him and his
actions and you will get quitc a good idea of
the probabilities in the commercial and Irail-
road universe. When you observe that he
is contracting his undertakings, concentrating
and condensing his enterprises and drawing
inhis horns, touse a figure of speech, look
out for stormy weather in the world of com-
merce, railroads and finance. He always
“stands from under” when things become
overcast and before other people can even see
a cloud. But when, as at present, you see
Gould buying and building railroads, expand-
ing his vast interests and enterprises and
bringing all his enormous wealth into activity,
then you may safely predict bright, sunny
weather in the financial and railroad world.—
