America’s Greatest Medicine Greatest, Because Hood’s Sarsaparilla does what all other medicines fail td do. As an instance of its peculiar and' unusual curative power, consider the most insidious disease, and the disease which taints the blood of most people, producing incalculable suffering to many, while in others it is a latent fire liable to burst into activity and produce untold misery on the least provocation. Scrofula is the only ailment to which the human family is subject, of which the above sweeping statement can honestly be made. Now, a medicine that can meet this common enemy of mankind and repeatedly effect the wonderful cures Hood’s Sarsaparilla has.—clearly has the right to the title of America’s Greatest Medicine.

CONGRESS

The House disposed of thirty additional pages of the sundry civil appropriation bill on Thursday. Tfie fact that the Government is preparing for contingencies was recognized when Chairman Cannon, who has been laboring to keep down appropriations, accepted without n word of protest an amendment to increase the appropriation to care for the unused machinery at the Springfield arsenal. Resolutions which were objected to a few Weeks ago for the appointment of two extra naval cadets to positions in the engineer corps of the uavy were also adopted 1 . One of them will till a vacancy caused by the death of Lieut. Merritt of the Maine. A feature of the Senate’s session was the speech of Mr. Spooner (Wisconsin) on the right of Henry W. Corbett to a seat in the Senate from Oregon under appointment of the Governor. Mr. Spooner made a constitutional argument in favor of seating Mr. Corbett. An effort was mnde to obtain consideration of the Alaskan homestead and railway right of way bill, but on a parliamentary technicality it went over. The resolution offered on Wednesday by Mr. Allen (Nebraska) to appoint a committee of five Senators to investigate the Cuban situation was withdrawn by its author when it was laid before the Senate.

In tbe House on Friday a long and somewhat exciting debate over tbe question of river and harbor appropriations was precipitated during the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. It was practically agreed by all those who participated that there would be no river and harbor bill at this session of Congress. The item appropriating $400,000 for San Pedro harbor, California, was passed, and the Oakland harbor appropriation remains in the bill by a vote of 118 to 10. An unsuccessful effort was made to secure consideration of the bill passed by the Senate for two additional regiments or artillery, but on objection from Mr. Cox (Dem., Tenn.), it went over. In the Senate Henry W. Corbett’s right to a seat in tbe Senate from Oregon was under consideration for five hours. A bill permitting tbe building of a dam between Coon Rapids and the north limits of Minneapolis, across the Mississippi River, was passed. Early in the session an attempt was made to get up the Alaskan bill, but it failed. The House did not complete the consideration of the sundry civil bill on Saturday, but Chairman Cannon held the floor with it until adjournment, refusing to yield to Mr. Boutelle (Maine), the chairman of the naval committee, who was anxious to secure consideration for the bill reported by his committee for the relief of tbe victims and survivors of the Maine disaster. About twenty pages of the sundry civil bill were disposed of. Many efforts were made by different members to inject river and harbor items into the bill, three of successful; amendments appropriating $300,000 for Cleveland harbor, $200,000 for Wilmington. Del., and increasing the appropriation for Boston harbor from SIOO,OOO to $250,000 were adopted. As contracts for thbse works were authorized, they were in order under the rules. During the greater part of the Senate session the right of Henry W. Qorbett to a.seat from the State of Oregon! was under discussion. Mr. Thurston (Nebraska), in aij extended speech, opposed the admission of Mr. Corbett, while Messrs. Foraker, Kyle and Mantie supported Mr. Corbett’s claim. The pension calendar was cleared by the passage of several private pension bills. A few bills of a general character were also passed.

Henry W. Corbett was on Monday denied admission to the Senate as a Senator from Oregon on appointment by the Governor by a vote of 50 to 19. The Senate began consideration of the Alaska homestead and railway right of way bill, and had not concluded it when it adjourned. The House passed the sundry civil appropriation bill after four days’ debate. The appropriation for representation at the Paris exposition was eliminated on a point of order. The sudden change of sentiment which is often witnessed when members go on record was twice illustrated. On Friday the House, in committee of the whole, where there is no record of the vote, knocked out a provision in the bill for an appropriation to pay those who furnish the Government with information leading to the conviction of the violators of the internal revenue laws, and in committee 'an extra month’s pay was voted the employes of the House. When the members voted on roll calls in the House, however, both of these propositions were overwhelmingly defeated. The House 'entered -upon the consideration of the Loud bill relative to -secondclass mail matter, on Tuesday. The bill is identical with the measure passed by the* last Congress, but Mt. Loud gave notice of an amendment permitting the transmission at pound Tates of sample copies up to 10 per cent, of the bona fide circulation of the newspaper periodicals. This amendment removes much opposition to the MIL Mr. Loud made an exhaustive speech in its favor. Mr. Moon (Dem., Tenn.) spoke in opposition to the bill, and Mr. I’erkifls (Rep., Iowa) in favor of it. The Senate passed a resolution for erection of a bronze tablet to the memory of the victims of the Maine. The bankruptcy bill and the Alaska homestead and right of way bill were debated.

The French Government has ordered the newspapers to cease all agitation of the Dreyfus affair. A semi-official note from the French Government says that the story of the French invasion of British territory in West Africa is merely a revival of an exploded rumor. • It is believed in official circles in London that the French cabinet is attempting to bring about a crisis in Africa in order to return to the popularity enjoyed prior to the Zola trial. Zola has taken an appeal from the decision of the court which condemned him to a year in prison and a fine of 3,000 francs, and the Dreyfus case will again be heard in the French courts. On the ground that a trial of their ckse in court would injure public morals, indictments against Herbert Barnum Seeley and others in New York, for events at the Seeley dinner, were dismissed. The New Orleans carnival was opened by Hex and his retinue. The river was covered with a brilliantly decorated flotilla when the royal yacht appeared with the King of Mirth. The three warships in port. Austrian, French and American, were attractively dressed and the revenue cutters participated. The procession included the military, the King’s retinue, lords of the realm and citizens. Proteus appeared at nighty followed by a grand society hull.

AFRICAN KINGS.

What a French Traveler Saw ia Dahomey and Porto Nova. M. Paul Mimande has recently paid, a visit to two dusky potentates ruling, under French control, In West Africa, and gives a description of his experiences in L'lllustration. Aqo-U-Aqbo, the King of Dahomey, according to the writer, is a decidedly antijiathetlc personage. His majesty is a large, stout negro, with a broad, flat nose, and a sly, treacherous expression. Ou ceremonial occasions he wears a sort of toga covered with some spaugled material. This costume, although sufficiently absurd, has the advantage of being simple and inexpensive. Aqo-li-Aqbo is vain aud fond of display; 'but unhappily the royal purse Is depleted, and he cannot gratify his luxurious tastes. Too poor to maintain the royal stables, he lias been obliged to abandon driving about in the berlin which his predecessor enjoyed, aud in his kyortifleatiou hit upon a happy expedient which is characteristic. He caused a small vehicle to be built, something like the wagons in which peddlers hawk their goods to country fairs, and in deficiency of horses conferred upon his ministers the honor of dragging it. The ministers play their part •to perfection; they trot along rapidly a; at even pace, and, the drive over, resume their posts as the confidential friends and advisers of their sovereign. Aqo-li-Aqbo lias had the honor. M. Paul Mlmande declares, of realizing practically for the first time the conception of the chariot of state, which has hitherto been regarded as merely an abstraction. The King of Dahomey has 300 wives, and lives in the old palace of Sambodji, which formerly witnessed so many human sacrifices, the very walls only it short time ago being garnished with skulls. He lias no longer any power either to behead or crucify, and contents himself with smoking, drinking, and courtship. Toffia, the King of Porto Nova, is n mucti more wealthy and powerful monarch. Indeed, since Solomon, it is a question whether lie has had Ills peer. Toffa has a full treasury, 500 wives, and concubines ad libitum, who never address him save on their knees, subjects who prostrate themselves at Ills approach, and children more numerous than those of Priam. He is a man of about 50, black as the ace of spades, with small, but keen, piercing eyes, and is very subtle and iutelligent. When he appears In his royal costume, a splendid robe embroidered with gold, a helmet with a tufted plume, his arms loaded with bracelets and bls breasts starred with amulets, he produces an extraordinary and very contradictory impression—that of grotesqueness combined with real dignity. Toffa’s palace is a handsome wooden structure not unlike the eoqmtrj- seat of a well-to-do middle-class Englishman. A long avenue of trees leads up to it, and the inclosure in which it stands is surrounded by a wall, with an Immense entrance gate, which, for the most part, is hospitably open. It is evident that the King is beloved by his subjects and is in no fear of anarchists and dynamiters. His manner of receiving Europeon visitors is novel. Toffa sits upon his tliroue in-the reception hall, surrounded by his counselors and members of the household. The foreigners are Introduced. A bottle of champagne is brought, and the three principal officials of the kingdom come forward to open it. One takes the bottle, the second the corkscrew, and the third the glasses. Their faces are /grave; they feel the responsibility of their Important office. When the glasses are filled the King rises. This Is (the supreme moment. The courtiers prostrate themselves face downward; his majesty clicks his glass with those of his guests, and they drink in silence. The ceremony over, Toffa resumes his seat and strikes the floor with his cane, the signal for the courtiers to rise. On hearing it they start up, snapping their fingers like castanets.—Public Opinion.

Reflections of a Spinster.

A man whom a dog will trust is never wholly bad. Woman has three weapons—flattery, food and flirtation. At 20 men love a woman; at 30, womjin; at 40, women. A woman who can keep her lover as a friend never believes in his love. People who consider love a dream usually grow to think marriage as the cold breakfast. Anger Is a better weapon than tears; a burr commands more respect than a sensitive plant. i It isn’t what he doesn't know’ that troubles a man, but what he knows he doesn’t know. It’s a foolish wife who fears her husband’s old flames. Let her look out for the new ones—Judge.

Both to Blame.

It is well to be always ready to apologize for real or fancied injuries, but strict conscientiousness in this regard led one man into trouble. “My dear," said Mr. Kerjones, as he sat down one morning to breakfast, “I came near owing you an apology just now.” “How is that?” asked Mrs. Kerjones. "'rhis way: The postman came a few minutes ago and left a circular. I glanced hastily at the superscription aud said to myself, ’That’s for my wife, but It’s nothing but some printed stuff, and I’ll ojien It.’ I opened it and read the contents. It was a communication calling attention to the ‘very desirable suitings' for gentlemen’s wear at a down-town tailor shop. Then I looked at the envelope again and saw I had been mistaken. It was not addressed .to you, but to me—and there was no harm done.” There was an ominous silence of a few moments, and then Mrs. Kerjones spoke. "Hiram,” she said, “do I ever open any mail addressed to you?” “No. of course not, but ” “When you opened that circular you thought it was for me, didn't you?" "Yes, but ” “And just because you found ou! afterward that it wasn’t, and you had been guilty only in-intent!on of meddling with mail matter addressed to me personally you think you haven't done anything wrong, and don't owe me an apology, do you? Is that your Idea of right and justice, Hiram Kerjones? It’s something to joke about, is it, that you only meant to commit an uncivil and discourteous act, and did not actually do it? That will' make an amusing story to tell at the club, won't it? Suppose you hadn't looked again at the envelope? Then it would have been still funnier, wouldn’t it? You could have told how your wife was a regular purchaser of ‘desirable suitings for gentlemen’ at down-tailor shops! You ‘came near owing me an apology,’ did you? The intention doesn’t constitute the crime when It comes to opening your wife's mail! Hiram Kerjones ” But Hiram hastilj’ seized his hat, and fled from the storm. Who shall say he did not deserve It?—Youth’s Companion.

A BOON FOR SUFFERERS.

A Remedy Which Has Cured More than 1,000,000 People. “6 Drops” Is the name of a powerful remedy which is guaranteed to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh, asthma, la grippe and kindred ailments.

no good. They said my trouble was rheumatism resulting in disease of the heart, and that there was no cure for it. Nevertheless 1 had lived and fought the disease for thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply because they said 1 must, so 1 hunted up some remedies for myself, and finally happened on Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I asked some of my neighbors about the medicine, for it had been used by several persons in the community, and they recommended it very highly. I procured a box. The pills helped me right away, and I continued taking them. I commenced taking them last fall, and finished the sixth box a few months ago. I am not bothered with the rheumatism now —the medicine has cured me. I can most certainly recommend Dr. Williams’ Pills. These pills are not only good for rheumatism, but are valuable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bud blood. They do not act on the bowels.

The statistics of the loss of human life and cattle by wild animals and venomous snakes in the Central provinces of India have been Issued, Although the totals show some decrease from those of last year, the number of deaths is appalling. Snakes killed 1,133 persons last year and wild animals 201. The number of cattle slaughtered was 8,757.
