to one sure Republican and two doubtful diatricts. Even should the Republicans secure the two doubtful districts, the apportionment would give them only one Congressman for each 90,000 yoters, while the Democrats would have a Congressman for each 26,700 voters. The time is rapidly coming when Congress will be compelled, fn the interests of justice and honest representation, to take full control of the districting of the various States.

The Toledo Blade sizes up the situation well when it says with reference to the recent act of the Indiana legislature in redistricting the State for congressional and legislative purposes: The scoundrelly nature of the Democratic gerrymander of Indiana should be realized by the people of the United States. The State gave Harrison a majority in 1888 and elected a Republican Governor. The vote was 270,000 Republicans to 267,00 Democratic. Even in the tidal wave yearof 1890, the congressional vote was 216,144 Republican to 288,920 Democratic, hut the legislature has just carved out ten snre Demo Congressional districts

Some friends who attended the funeral of a young lady in London had a novel experience the other day. A few weeks before the young lady had sung "Nearer, My God, to Thee” into a phonograph, and after the funeral ceremony the hymn was reproduced.

Little Wallace Chapman, a four-year-old Kansas City boy, has u wonderful memory. He recently repeated, verbatim, a nineteen stanza poem after hearing it read aloud three times. Within the past fifteen months more than 4,000 tenants hare been evicted, many by force, in the city of London. Kiel-} bod) Knows That at this season the blood is tilled with impurities, the accumulation of months of close confinement in poorly ventilated stores, workshops and tenements. All these impurities and every trace of scrofula, salt rheum or other diseases may he expelled by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, the best blood purifier ever produced. 11 is the only medicine of which "100 doses ouedollar,’’ is true. j; Hood’s Sarsaparilla is on the Hood title of popularity, which position it lias reached by its own intrinsic, unoubted merit. 3

While thus ctigag(*] this black snake came from beneath a rock, and after quietly looking me over proceeded to make a meal of the refuse from the fish. He then retired. The next day I found him waiting for me when I returned, and after that we became great friends. It was not long before he would glide into the punt, and coiling himself up go fishing with me. I never did anything to offend him and he

evinced no fear of me.

One day I was unable to go on the stream, but gave directions to two friends who desired a day’s fishing where to find the punt, but neglected to mention my friend the snake. As they approached the boat they were horrified to see the large reptile gliding toward them. In fear and anger one of them raised a large stone, and dropping it crushed the life out of my whilom companion. When 1 heard of it I was angry and sorehcarted for a long time over the loss of my curious pet,”—New York News.

The importance of keeping the blood in a pure condition is universally known, and yet there are very few people wlio have perfectly pure

blood. The taint of scrofula, salt rheum, or other foul humor Is beredited and transmitted for generations, causing untold suffering, and we also accumulate poison and germs of disease from the air we breathe, MM the food we eat, or m# ^%ISWthe water wc drink. I II I I There is nothing ■ I 11 I I more conel u s i v e 1 y I LI I proven than the positive power of Hood’s Sarsaparilla over ail diseases of tlie blood. This medicine, when fairly tried, does expel every trace of scrofula or salt rheum, removes the taint which causes

catarrh, neutralizes the acidity and cures rheumatism, drives out the germs of malaria, blood poisoning, etc. It also vitalizes and en-

riches the blood, thus overcoming that tired feeling, and building up the whole system Thousands testify to the superiority of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier.

airnngo and Fatal Accident. A peculiar and fatal accident happened recently to a man named Dunham who lived in Kechi township, Sedgwick county, Kan. A farmer named Martin had killed a number of hogs, which ho left hanging in his yard over night. In the morning one was gone, and in looking around for some trace which might reveal the cause of its disappearance, he noticed, a short distance from his house, something strange propped against a rail fence, and on investigating found his hog hanging by the gambrel stick around the neck of Dunham. The thief's neck was broken, and he had evidently been dead some hours. The supposition is that while climbing the fence Dunham’s burden had slipjted and caught his head in the noose formed by the two legs and the cross stick, aud the heavy weight had instantaneously cracked his neck.—Kansas City Star.
