March April, May are the months in which to purify the blood, for at no other season is the body so susceptible *tp benefit from medicine. The peculiar purifying and reviving qualities of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are just what is needed to expel disease and Fortify the System against the debilitating effects of mild weather. The blood at this season is loaded with impurities, which are promptly and thoroughly removed by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and strength, health, vigor and vitality succeed to weakness, debility, and that tired feeling. Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures all diseases arising from or promoted by impure blood. Remember Hood’s Sarsaparilla elne. C. I.

A Pretty Custom.

Japanese children are rarely allowed to keep caged pets; and there is a pretty custom that teaches them that the gods have a tender care of the lower orders of creation. Old women with imprisoned birds stand at the entrances of the temples, and by giving a “sen”—a small coper coin—to one of them a child, on his way to recite his pray era, is at liberty to ransom a feathered captive. The little ones take infinite pleasure in watching the pretty creature in its aerial flight to liberty, and this snyill act of benevolence is supposed to incline the god favorably towards the child.

MARCH AND APRIL

Are the Moat Disagreeable Months of the Year in the North. In the South, they are the pleasantest and most agreeable. The trees and shrubs put forth their buds and flowers; early vegetables and fruits are ready for eating, and in fact all nature seems to have awakened from its winter sleep. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company reaches the garden spots of the South, and will on the first and third Tuesdays of March and April sell round trip tickets to all principal points in Tennessee, Alabama and West Florida, at about half rates.

Whence It Came.

The phrase “sending a man to Coventry” dates from the days of the Civil Wars. When any straggling Royalists were found on the Warwickshire l>attlefields, it was the custom to send them to Coventry for incarceration. Hence the origin of the term, which became a by-word.

One of Mrs. Pinkham’s Talks Concerning a Mother’s Duty to Her Young Daughter. Together with a Chat with Miss Marie Johnson. The balance wheel of a woman's life is menstruation. On the proper performance of this function depends her health. Irregularity lays the foundation of many diseases, and is in itself symptom «ease. It is of the greatest importance that reguty be accomplished as soon as possible after the flow i an established fact. Disturbance of the menstrual function poisons the blood. In young girls suppression develops latent inherited tendencies to scrofula or consumption, and no time must be lost in restoring regularity. Many a young girl goes to her grave because this difficulty has been thought lightly of, and mother has said, “Time will bring about a cure; she is young, I don’t worry about her.” Mother, when you see your daughter languid and indifferent to things that usually interest a young girl, when you note that flush on her cheek, that glassy appearance in her eyes; when your daughter tells you that even the weight of her dress waist oppresses her, and that she has terrible pains in her stomach shortly after eating, don’t ignore these signs! If you do, you will be following your daughter to the grave, for she will die 1 This is gospel truth—she is developing consumption of the bowels 1 Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the greatest regulator known to medicine. Make haste to use it on the first appearance of the tell-tale symptoms; it will restore all the female organs to their normal condition. Miss Marie Johnson’s letter to Mr*. Pinkham, which follows, should interest all mothers and young ladies. She says: “My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I would have the headache so badly that everything would appear black before my eyes, and I could not go on with my mH studies. I was also troubled with irregularity of # menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought perhaps they might benefit me, / and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice J. you gave, and used Lydia E.

ASSASSINATIONS OF RULERS.

For Such Crimes There Is Greater Incentive in Europe than Here. F'lveaetemptshavebeeu made against the Hfe of Queen Victoria, one in 1840, two in 1842, one in 1849. and one in 1882. An attempt against the life of Francis Joseph of Austria was made in 1853. and oue against the King of Italy in IS7B. Three attempts were made against the life of Queen Isabella of Spain, three against Napoleon 111. when Emperor of France, and three, in 1861. in 1875, and in 1878, against the life of Wilhelm I. of Germany. In the United States, where the crime of assassination is happily rare, few assaults have been made upon public men in office, although two Presidents have l>een shot down in Washington. Mr. Lincoln was assassinated in April, 1865, and President Garfield in July, 1881. In the early days of the republic Presidents were safe and deemed themselves safe from murderous assault, and many of the precautions taken by recent Presidents to protect themselves from attack have been seen to be unnecessary. Assassinations, in the United States as in other countries, are the outcome of periods of great political excitement. The sentiments of many persons are stirred almost to frenzy, and at such times some unbalanced extremist is led by the excitement to some violent act which in tranquil times, probably, would not be even thought of. In Europe the incitement to assasslnatiou is much greater than it is here, for not only are men in many cases deprived of the opportunity to make known their grievances, but, furthermore, the pow er of punishment rests with the executive head of the government. An application is made, perhaps, for the liberation of some accused person. On the executive devolves the consent or rejection of this request. In the popular resentment which follows either the severity or the Indulgence of the monarch, there may be an outbreak of a murderous character. In the United States the power of commutation rests, usually, with the Governor, not with the President, though In times of civil strife, when martial law supersedes the civil law, the final appeal for clemency is made to the President.

BILLS THAT FAILED.

WORK FOR THE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. Chicago and Illinois Affected by the Delay in Usual Legislation—Sundry Civil Bill Was Pocket-Vetoed-Riv* era and Harbors Left Out. For Immediate Attention. Washington correspondence: When the sundry civil bill was pocketed by President Cleveland moat of the important Government appropriations in Illinois for the next fiscal year fell to the ground, and if Congress should fail to pass a new bill before the Ist of July some people now in the employ of the Government will have to go out of business or take their compensation on tick. ' This big appropriation bill is the catchall for things not regularly included under (he departments, and it provides the money for an infinite variety of things tvhich hare no apparent relation to each pther. President McKinley himself would be personally affected, for one of the Items vetoed by his predecessor is that which provides for beating and lighting the executive mansion and its grounds* and it is to be presumed the family of the new President will not care to go to bed in the dark after t.’.c Ist of July. Col. Bill Morrison of the interstate Commerce Commission would find himself without a salary, and the Government would be unable to print any more greenbacks if a nelv law were not enacted. The appropriation in which Chicago is most interest is that of SII3.<XX) for the improvement of the river. More important than the amount of the money itself is the paragraph which was inserted in the Senate, and only accepted by the House after a hard light, construing the item in the river and harbor bill so that the money to be expended on the Chicago river can be paid for other work than dredging, as is now held to be the law. All of the river and harbor items fail, and among the number are $1,000,000 for the Hennepin canal, $673,333 for the improvement of the Mississippi from the mouth of the Ohio to the mouth of the Missouri, aud $826,666 from the Missouri to St. Paul, in both of which Illinois is deeply interested. Rock Island would suffer severely because items of $12,500 for the bridge and $48,000 for the arsenal are involved. The Chicago public building is not affected, because, under the original appropriation contracts may be entered into, and there is money enough to keep up the construction until the regular session. Unless a new law is enacted there will be no money to pay the keepers of the lighthouses or the life-saving stations at Chicago and Evanston or elsewhere on the lakes. The appropriation of $200,000 for the completion of the two new revenue cutters has also gone by the board. There is now no provision for paying the rental of the Government offices in the RandMcNally building after July 1, although the annual rental is $19,345. Wash Hearing would find things uncomfortable at the postoffiee if Congress did not step in to help him, because the appropriation for fuel, lights and water for public buildings concerns the temporary structure on the lake front, and it has failed with the other items. The Federal Court in Chicago will be without money after July 1, and the»marshal, district attorney, commissioners, clerks and their subordinates will become the creditors of the Government unless Uncle Joe Cannon starts the ball rolling once more and pushes through another appropriation bill sufficiently free from jobs to secure the approval of the President. The new soldiers’ home at Danville, for which $200,000 was appropriated in the House and the amount cut down to $150,000 in the Senate, also went by the board. One of the important items which failed to be enacted into law was the appropriation of $150,000 for making the preliminary surveys looking toward the creation of a deep waterway from Chicago and Duluth to the Atlantic seaboard, as recommended by the commission of which Engineer Cooley was the expert member. The work of improving the channels of the great lakes from Chicago to Buffalo is now in progress, and to continue this the sum of $1,000,000 was provided by the bill which failed to become a law. Such of these items as are deserving will, of course, be included in the new appropriation bill, and there is not much ground to fear that the Government employes will not get their money. There is, however, a much more pressing urgency irt regard to the appropriations carried by the deficiency bill. This measure was hungup in conference. President Cleveland did not veto this measure, but undoubtedly would have done so if it had been presented to him. It carries among other things a lump appropriation, $1,200,000, which is a deficiency in the amount previously provided for collecting the customs revenues. If immediate action is not taken every employe of the custom house in Chicago will find his salary withheld after April 1 until July 1, for the treasury has no money to pay ordinary customs expenses after that time. There is no doubt that speedy action will be taken to re-enact all the appropriation bills which failed to become laws. For instance, the agricultural bill, which President Cleveland pocketed because of its seed appropriations, which he has always refused to approve of, carries with it the salary of the secretary of the department, and, of course, “Tama Jim" Wilson of lowa would hardly care to keep up his end in Washington social life without his expected stipend of SB,OOO per annum. President McKinley is particularly anxious that the passage of the belated appropriation bills shall not interfere with the tariff measure which he hopes to have enacted into law at an early date.

THE INDIANA SOLONS

The afreet railway bill, originating In the Senate, which abrogates the charter of the Citiaens* company in Indianapolia in 1901, besides other street railway franchises, was passed by the House Tuesday. The minority attempted to break the caucus action on the Fort Wayue charter by threatening to defeat the bill, but the Indianapolis delegation stood firm. The Fort Wayne charter amendment, which was so violently opposed, provides that the councilmen of that city shall be elected by the several wards, six of them now being council men at large. Seeing that the majority would not yield on the railway bill, only thirteen voted in the negative. The House passed the compulsory education bill, compelling schooling of children between 8 and 14 years, and the voting machine bill, the commissioners to have right to use any approved device. After an hour of constant wrangling, during which the House of Representatives was so noisy that one could with difficulty hear himself speak, that body defeated on Wednesday the bill passed by the Senate limiting street railroad fare in Indianapolis to 3 cents. Another wrangle followed on the bill amending the Fort Wayne charter so as to require all the eounciliuen to be elected by wards, but being a caucus measure the majority carried it through. The House then concurred in the Senate's amendments to the anti-trust bill and to the anti-cigarette bill, and both of the bills were sent to the Governor for his approval. For a time it looked as if a personal collision would result in the Senate over the repeal of the apportionment of 1885. The bill was passed. The House passed the prison contract labor bill, which provides that the product of the labor of convicts shall not be put on the market in competition with that of free labor, but shall be used in the State institutions. Other bills passed: Taxing insurance companies upon their receipts; requiring that chattel mortgage foreclosures be made iu the Circuit Court; permitting incorporated towns to levy a tax of 50 cents on the hundred dollars for electric light plants; to wipe out wine rooms; to prevent tli# sale of impure miners’ oils. The Senate defeated the State Board of Commerce bill for a commission to revise the laws relating to local government. The House Thursday reconsidered its vote defeating the 3-ceut car fare bill and its provisions limited to Indianapolis, and it was forced to a passage by a vote of 51 to 45. It was this bill which was bitterly fought by the Citizens' Street Railway Company. A “double" motion was made to reconsider and table, which was done. Gov. Mount appointed Hugh H. Hanna, Indianapolis; ex-Congressman George W. Cooper, Columbus; James R. Henry, Spencer, aud Senator Ellison, Fort Wayne, directors of the Indiana reformatory at Jeffersonville. Following are some of the more important bills that have been finally passed: Bill making It unlawful to sell cigarettes to any minor; new street railroad bill; bill repealing the special verdict law; pharmacy bill; general medical bill; labor commission bill; Linck anti-trust bill; the bill to give the Republicans a majority in the boards of control for the hospitals for the insane aud the institutions for the education of the blind aud the deaf and dumb; bill providing for incorporation of farmers’ live stock insurance companies; building and loan association bill. There was a whirl of excitement in the House Friday evening when the Speaker intimated that there had been an attempt to bribe oue of the clerks, aud appointed a committee of Investigation, headed by Representative Smith of Tippecanoe. It Is practically settled that there was an attempt to tamper with the bill recently passed creating the Lake County Superior Court, the object being to give it concurrent jurisdiction with the Lake Circuit Court. This was the original purpose of the bill, but amendments, both in House and Senate, gave the court limited jurisdiction. Suspicion points to a former member of the House from a northern county as the principal In the attempted bribery. Several of the prominent city ministers appeared on the floor of the Senate to urge the passage of the antiquart shop bill. The bill was passed and transmitted to the Governor for his approval. The bill requires the venders of liquors by the quart to secure the same license required of saloonkeepers and, in fact, places them under all the restrictions provided against the traffic. Wholesalers, when selling ia package* of five gallons, alone are exempt. Gov. Mount receded from his determination not to accept bills for consideration passed after 12 m. Saturday night, and Monday the general appropriation bill was passed by the Senate and House and transferred to him. The Governor approved the 3-cent fare bill, limited to Indianapolis, and vetoed the county treasurer settlement bill and a bill intended to pave the way for contesting wills by heirs unable to pay costs. Examination showed that the cigarette bill had been tampered with, and the Governor recalled his approval, after which the bill was properly enrolled in both houses. The bill to protect township trustees from school supply sharks also passed, the Governor intimating that it would be acceptable. The Indiana Legislature adjourned at 8 o'clock, after having been in session six-ty-one days. Both houses were controlled by the Republicans. Some important measures were enacted into laws, among them being the following: A bill providing for a 3-cent street car fare in Indianapolis; a general medical law patterned after the Ohio law; a law to encourage the establishment of domestic insurance companies; a law abolishing the expense fund and withdrawal charges of building and loan associations; the repeal of the special verdict law; a law authorizing the Attorney General to sue the Vandalia Railway on an old State claim for $1,000,000; a law abolishing quart shops; a law providing for compulsory education; the placing of aH the benevolent institutions in the hands of Republicans, and a law providing for the conversion of the Southern Indiana penitentiary into a reformatory on the Elmira plan.

Lest 50 Pounds at 61 Years of Age.

The Canse—Malarial Fever— Pattent a Prominent Man—How He Becalmed Mia Weight. From the New Fra, Graenatmrf, Ind. There is probably uo man better known in Dearborn and Ohio counties than Mr. O. H. Miller, of Aurora, Ind., bookkeeper for Chambers, Stevens & Co., the large dry goods house. Mr. Miller was born and reared in Ohio County, where he spent twenty years in sneeession in public office. Three times he was the people's choice for Auditor of the county, and twice their choice for Clerk. According to the law at that time the Clerk or Auditor could not be elected two terms in succession, four years being a term. He was first elected Auditor, then Clerk, Auditor again, and Cleric again, until he had been elected five times. Becoming aged the is G 3) aud broken down in health, Mr. Miller deemed it advisable to retire from public service. His health became very poor, ami he went to Aurora to lire with his daughter. About two years ago Mr. Miller was taken sick with malarial fever, and was confined to his bed five months; it was more thau a year before he was able to get out. The sickness left him with rheumatism and catarrh of the stomach, which brought he said they had cured a bad ease of rheuon palpitation of the heart. He was overcome with general debility, was ail run down, his blood being poor and in it wntery condition. Speaking of his case Mr. Miller said: “The longer my troubles ran on the worse they grew. Nothing seemed to benefit me. My suffering was unbearable, and being quite old, I probably succumbed more quickly to the effects. I suffered almost continual pain, being unable to ent a full meal or enjoy an entire night's sleep. "1 had fallen off fifty pounds in weight. 1 looked like a mere skeleton. During thia time six physicinns had attended me at different times, but none of them did me the least good, although two were specialists on such cases, from the city. They all said that 1 would never lie benefited at all by anything, and it was useless for me to expect it. 1 felt that my time had come, and my daughter, Mrs. I*. I*. Stultz, of Jeffersonville, came to spend my last days with me. My daughter's husband, Mr. Stultz, has been superiutendent of the Jeffersonville city schools for eight years. Their daughter, who had been quite low, had recently recovered by the use of Dr. Williams' rink Tills, so she urged me as a last resort to try this medicine. 1 finally consented to do so. This was in August, 1895. I be?an taking the medicine at once, taking ourteen boxes, using the last about six months ago. After the first half dozen boxes 1 noticed a decided change, and when I had finished I could sleep well, and my appetite was good. There was a general improvement. My blood became new and nourishing, and now is in a good, healthy condition. 1 feel as well ns ever, and I am sure I owe it nil to Dr. Williams’ Pink I’ills for I’ale People.” Dr. Williams’ Fink I’ills for I’ule People are not a patent medicine i.u the sense that name implies. They were first compounded as a prescription and used as such in general practice by an eminent physician. So great was their efficacy was deemed wise to place them witlmi the reach of all. They are now manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Scbiieetudy. N. Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this shape), at 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Med.

The Code of Patches.

The old code explaining the significance of a patch on a certain part of the face was as follows: "The ‘‘impassioned” patch was fixed nt the corner of the eye; the ‘'gallant,” In the middle of the cheek, the receleuse (or receiver of stolen goods), on n spot or pimple; the effrentee, or hold-faced, on the nose, and the “coquette" on the lips. A round patch was called “the assassin.” The .great Massillon preached a sermon In which he anatliematlsed patches. The effect produced by his discourse was rather unexpected; patches were worn in greater number than ever and known ns mouclies de Massillon.

I had recourse to the whole category of correctives, aperients, laxatives, etc., but the relief I found was only temporary. Indeed, in most cases, after I had taken them for any length of time, the early efficacy seemed entirely vitiated. I had so often seen in the advertisements of Ripans Tabules the statement, one gives relief, that at last it so impressed itself upon me that I decided to give them n trial. A trial was entirely convincing and in a short time I was well. While I have now no regular use for them I always keep them on hand, to be used in case of emergency.”
