Scrofula in the Eyes
Years of Suffering —Hood's Sarsaparilla Cured. I had scrofula and was almost blind. I had been a great sufferer for 15 years. I bad tried physicians and different medicines but did not get any benefit. I had almost given up all hope when one day I saw an advertisement of Hood's Sarsaparilla. The testimonial gave nie confidence and I purchased a bottle. After I had taken two bottles I was greatly improved. I continued and

Restaurant Nomenclature.
The waiter's vocabulary constantly being enriched. Pigs' feet will be "Trilbies" forevermore, just as surely as frogs' legs are "song.and dance men."
German -waiters, as a rule, are not accustomed to use slang, but they have a few abbreviations that are very expressive.
As every one knows, there can be DO greater breach of etiquette or more sorrowful admission of weakness than to order a glass of water in a German place. The restaurant has water to be used in case of fire, but it is never offered to a customer. If he wishes it, he must ask for it. Then the waiter frowns at him and shouts, "Ein Eskimo!"
In one of the oyster houses a man ordered two deviled crabs. "Do you want them hot or cold?" asked the waiter. "Hot, of course."
The waiter went to a rear counter and roared, "One plate of hot devils!" and a clerical looking gentleman not ten feet away from him nearly fell out of his chair.—Chicago Record.
Salaries of Heads of 5ationfli The Presse has drawn jout a table 6f what—for the want of a better word— may be described as the salaries of the heads of tho reigning houses of Europe. The president of the French republic receives 1,200,000 francs, the American president 250,000 francs, while the president of the Swiss republic has only 13,500 francs. Dealing with the sovereigns of Europe, it gives the allowance of the queen of England and her family at 50,000,000 francs, the king of the Belgians at 4,000,000 francs, the little queen of Holland and her mother at 2,500,000 francs, the emperor of Germany at 11,700,000 francs, the king of Italy at 14,250,000 francs, the king of Spain and his mother at 7,450,000 francs, the king of Portugal and his mother at 3,800,000 francs, the emperor of Austria-Hungary at 23,325,000 francs, the king of Sweden and Norway at 6,500,000 fratfes, the king of Denmark at 2,400,000 francs and the king of Greece at only 1,300,000 francs.—

Where Corncob Pipes Are Made. Many to\ns have little dingy estab lishments where cob pipes are made as a side issue. But in this town cob pipe manufacture is the leading industry. In round numbers 12,000,000 cob pipes ev-1 erv year are manufactured by two firms in this city. That means ono pipe each year for every voter in the United States, All other cob pipe factories in the United States are one horse affairs when compared to the two concerns here.
These pipes aro famous and dear as well to every pipe smoker on the continent. The brier root is to the Missouri meerschaum what a stoga is to a perfecto. Throughout the year 140 persons are daily employed at Washington in manufacturing corncob pipes. One big addition, the handsomest in the town, is known as the "corncob addition." It contains the palatial homes of the men who have grown rich in manufacturing corncob pi] s.—Washington (Mo.) Letter in St. Louis Republic.
A Curious Coincidence.
James Payn relates a curious coincidence: "A young engineer was describing to the occupants of a railway carriage a late experience on an engine: 'We were tnaking up time between two stations, and going at a great rate, when we suddenly sighted an old gentleman walking quietly in front of us along the line. We "screeched and whistled, but he was very deaf, aud wo could not attract his attention.' An old lady, horrified by the situation, and hoping there was some way out of it, here exclaimed, 'But you didn't hurt liim?' 'We were down upon him, ma'am, like 1 o'clock 1 Hurt him indeed! Did you ever hear such a question, sir?' addressing a young man in deep mourning, who had main tained a melancholy silence. 'I have heard tho story before,' he replied in explanation of his want of interest. 'It v, was my father.
MAN AND HELPEE.
THE MEANING OF A FAMILIAR ITEM WELL KNOWN TO WOMEN.
How Sain Patched tlia Wall Paper and Fan Acted as Helper—Adain and HI Agricultural Pursuits In the Garden of
Kden Painted by Modern Ere.
That toe familiar item on our plumber's bills, "To man and helper," is expressive of so much in our daily domestic relations that one almost forgives the plumber the gift of the phrase. "I'll patch up that paper on the wall you leave it," says Sam. And then Sam appears on a day when you are in the thick of some particularly absorbing household task and ho says: "I've come up early to mend that paper, and if
Now, it is a strange thing that it is always "man and helper." If a woman undertakes anything, as a rule she goes ahead and gets her things together and does it all by herself, but if a man starts any task not in the line of his ordinary business he will manage to draw to himself the assistance of every woman within call. If it is driving nails, some one must hand the nails to him a woman would keep them in her pocket or mouth. If he is riveting something, the woman must hold the other hammer on the under side and get in her arm the jar of the stroke. If he even mends his fishrod or ties his flies, she must hold tho waxed thread or turn tho rod with both hands. I do not see how any married woman can doubt the truth of the Scriptures. Why, to her, the. fifteenth and eighteenth verses of the second chapter of Genesis set the seal of truthfulness upon the whole. When man was made and put in the garden of Eden to tend it, he hadn't been there a day before woman had to be made to help him. He couldn't get along alone at all.
Poor Ev'i! For of all conditions of "helper" that of tho gardener's helper is the worst. It is easy to imagine her— her day's work over, as she supposes— planning for a quiet rest upon a cool green bank through the long summer twilight. Along comes Adam, belated in his work, because he had been casting his line from shady nooks into deep, mossy pools, where the speckled trout are lying, and he says to Eve "My dear, won't you come along with me into the garden? I haven't seen anything of my darling all day. You can sit on a nice soft stone in the path while I work." And poor, easily beguiled by love Eve gets up and follows right along, but, alas, the stone has not changed its nature any more than Adam has. It is not soft, and perhaps that is the reason why Adam does not keep her sitting there long. Good, kind Adam! He wants the rake, and it is down at the house, or maybe it was a bower, and she may as well bring along a measuring line, of which also she may hold one end when she gets back. And then as Adam gets absorbed he absorbs more and more of Eve. She rakes up the weeds which he has hoed out. She holds up the vines which he ties to the trellis. She trots back and forth for the primitive implements, and she smiles, as if she eujoyed it, but it is a weary woman who, as duEk yields to darkness, accompanies
Adam to the house, lugging numerous odds and ends. It is her compensation, es she greets Abel and his wife, who are waiting for her, to hear Adam telling his son, "I've done a lot in the garden tonight. I think I'll lay off in the middle of tho day tomorrow and take a try for those trout in Cain's meadow brook." —New York Times.

DISLIKE NEW CL'OTHES.

"It is a strange thing," 4ail a well known trainer of aniuials, "Ifpw many outbreaks and accidents have! resulted from a trainer wearing a strange costume. .Quite ccently a lady ^performer who had made some alteratibus in her dress had a narrow escape. jThe tiger with whom she usually appeisred turned sulky from the start, and ap last absolutely refused to do ono of the tricks. Its mistress urged and threatened to no purpose, and finally attempted to use the whip.

Presently, however, there is a dom:uul for rags, stepladder, pail and w! "sk broom. These also you get out and return to your work. "Fan," calls Sam, "where have you hidden my brush? It was in the toolbox right in tho ieft liaud corner, aud it is gone. Some one must havo taken it." Again you leave your task and go up stairs or down stairs to tho place whence cometli the plaint and behold tho brush a little to the northeast perchance, but quite in the visible neighborhood of that little left hand corner. Without even a blush of shame he takes it, and you return to your own work. You have barely begun again, when Sam appears at

As a rule, very fow alterations are made. The same dog always appears in the same act, and so on, the idea of acquaintanceship and familiarity thus being maintained. Why, even if a hat or a wrap happens to lie within roach outside the arena the animal is sure to see it at once, and if it can get at it will promptly tear it to pieces." "Have there been many such accidents recently?" "About a year ago a lion tamer in New York wore a full dress suit instead of his usual military costume at one of

that the only box available is one filled with odds and onds of needful kitchen things, but you resignedly lay them all out on the floor and give Sam the box, catching at the same moment a look which reveals that he is about to ask you for the boards. There are only two long boards on the premises, and those form a walk in the backyard. Still they can be taken up, and they are—but it entails vigorous brushing and cleansing. Then for a time Sam vanishes, and all is serene, but not for long. There area clatter of boards and notes of masculine trouble, which you ignore, until, find ing that it is not a day for taking hints, Sam calls again, "Fan, will you please come and steady this thing, or I'll break my neck.'' Of course you go, and of course yon find that he has not already broken it. You get odds and ends of things together to even up and strengthen his rickety scaffolding, and then you sit on a step with your head up between the boards to steady the ladder, except when you vary it by handing a pasty rag, or a brush, or a match for his pipe. Then is the time you say, "To man ami helper, three hours," and get your revenge, for Sam really sees the point.
Fancy him Marting out to sow his radish seed and having nobody to ask how far she thought he ought to put the rows apart, so he could put them some other distance. It must have been awful!

Do these outbursts ever have fatal results?" "Sometimes. Another lady performer made an alteration in her dres3 that displeased the tiger with whom she was acting, whereupon the savage beast pounced upon her, killing her instantly. This animal has never been allowed to perform since."—Nineteenth Century.
The Young Ladles of the Ballet. The young ladies who have acquired from long practice the faculty of standing about unconsciously and imperviously in drafts with bare legs, arms and shoulders do not charm the gentlemen of today as they fascinated their fathers. The foyer lives upon its ancient fame, and is still curious to look at, but it has fallen from the high place which once belonged to it in the life of Paris.
When I first saw it, the gathering was in its full glory. Almost miserable as was the room, with its dirty, sloping floor (corresponding with the incline of the stage), its low ceiling, and its air of general discomfort, the scenes that went on in it, the words that were spoken in it, and the people that frequented it, were absolutely apart nothing like them was to be found elsewhere. The mixture of brilliancy, of elegance, of dance, of sparkling talk (on the side of the men), of lovemaking and of laughter was prodigious. Neither natural nor experimental chemistry has ever produced a more intimate compound of fantastic elements. It was social and moral sya thesis in its intensest form. At that time the habitues of the foyer were convinced that they could not live without it it had become necessary to their lives. Tho present generation manages to subsist away from it.—Blackwood's Magazine.

An Important Office*
To properly till its office and function, it is important that the blood be pure. When it is in such a condition, the body is almost certain to be healthy, A complant at this time is catarrh in some of it various forms. A slight cold develops the disease in tho head. Droppings of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure this disease is to purify the blood. The most obstinate cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply because it peaches the seat of the disease, and by purifying and vitalizing the blood, removes the cause. Not only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do this but it gives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health to reign supreme.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all othor diseases put together, and until tho last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It IB taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,
