March April, May are 4nost emphatically the months for taking a good purifier, because the system is now most in need of such a medicine, and because It more quickly responds to medicinal Qualities. In winter impurities do not pass out of the body ireely, but accumulate in the blood. April The best medicine to pui.fy, enrich and vitalize the blood, and thus give strength and.build up the system, is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Thousands take it as their Spring Medicine, and more are taking it to-day than ever before. If you are tired, “out oi May sorts,” nervous, have bad taste in the morning, aching or dizzy head, sour stomach and feel all run down, a course of Hood’s Satsa-' parilla will put your whole body in. good order and make you stren rand vigorous. It is the ideal Spring Medicine and true nerve tonic, because Hood’s Sarsaparilla ’ Is the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists, sl. Prepared only by C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.

Lons a Death Trap. With a report that shook Elk mountain - to its base and caused the neighboring peaks to totter and reel, the Vulcan mint at Newcastle, Colo., went up in sinokt Tuesday morning and sixty lives were sacrificed. The following are alltkeTranresofltoa--ers known to be at work that can be obtained: • Addison, Tom, Matteve, August, Becker, Peter, Merchant, Chas., Bodanski, Fred, McCourty, Frank, home in Illinois.

Ed Welch was “riding life rope,” a peri formanccthat, while, regarded unhazardous, jvas accepted as a daring exploit and only indulged in by those whose familiarity with the mine made them foolhardy. A little crowd of miners and catmen .were at the side of,the slope that led to the workings. Welch appeared at the opening and was greeted with a cheer by the bystanders. Then the earth trembled and the ground heaved as in trouble and with the throes of an unseen disturbance. Welch was hurled through space and landed on the mountain side 400 feet away. : —"... ■ :

Fqr almost ten minutes the fate of those in the workings of the mine was not ques-, tioned, and 'then the horror began to steal over the faces of the survivors as they realized that not a soul of the day force would escape. Then the alarm was spread with all the rapidity of the railroads and telegraph and assistance was summoned from the mines in the vicinity. Where the entrance to the mine hatd once been there was nothing to indicate the locality but a yawning chasm that extended from the side of thi; mountain to the other side of the gulch. It was probably 300 feet wide, and from the depths of the yawning crevice came forth awful odors that sickened the spectators. Gases that, seemed to emanate from the bowels of an infefno generated an overwhelming stench that defied the approach of investigators, who were compelled to remain at a safe distance Ln the vicinity to avoid being-overcome ‘by the extremely putrid smell. Rescue Parties Organized. Daring rescue parties were organized to effect an entrance to the Vulcan, bu-t they were quickly repelled by the fumes from the workings, and reluctantly beat a , ret neat Their own lives were endangered by the task, as the edges of the great gash in the earth were not understood, and the subterranean props had evidently been blown out with the first shock. .Approaching parties reported that the ground near the former mouth of the mine was unstable, and that another collapse from the surface was likely to occur at any moment, enveloping all within reach. - ——~ Various attempts were made time and again to reach the edge of the gap by men equipped with respirators, but each time they returned to announce failure. The management insists that the reported loss of life is not as bad as first accounts say. but there is apparently no hope for a single survivor, according to the judgment of men who have been employed in the mine. Long Been a Death Trap. Tire Vulcan has always been a fruitful source of disquiet to the Canon City Fuel Company, which operates the property, and for years the interior of the mine was abandoned on account of the spontaneous generating of gases that could not be overcome. Fire for years defied the most strenuous exertions of the operators to extinguish it and the workings were trans, formed into a huge cauldron, into which no one dared venture. Despite its bad reputation, the company maintains that if only an explosion occurred that was not followed by fire there were frequent places in the tunnels and drifts for the men to seek refuge. But the violent surface disturbance does not tolerate the belief that anyone is saved from the wreck, and miners have abandoned hope. The mine was ruuning almost to its full capacity owing to the fuel war that has been waged in the West and was shipping at the rate of ten to. fifteen cars a day. Owing to the dangerous character of the mine the miners were not allowed to enter the slope with any matches in their possession; but the rule was not enforced, for, although death was imminent for anyone venturing to strike a light, some of the more ignorant miners could not be taught that their lives depended on the observance of the order and frequent infractions of the rule were reported at headquarters.

Her New Teeth.

Mrs. Brown was an elderly lady, quite deaf, and somewhat inclined to look upon this world as a tears. A neighbor, passing the house one day, and seeing th© old lady sitting by an open window, greeted her with unusual warmth, hoping to bring a smile to her doleful countenance. “Good morning,’ 1 she screamed. “Thia la very fine weather we’re having.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Brown, “but I can’t eat with ’em yIL”

ERYSIPELAS AT 81.

PHYSICIANS FAVORED AMPUTATION OF THE LIMB. t It Was Not Done, and the Wan > Cured by Internal Remedies. From tl<e Republican-KeoieteiyGaleslnira, HL Biggsville, twenty-nihe miles ,west of Galesburg,. 111., on the line of the Chicago, Burlington and, Quincy Railroad* is an old, quiet, little town. In earlier days it was noted as a good business point. It was here that a represeptativt- of the Republican-Register found Mrs. Rhoda Talcott, 81 years of age. who told him, th the presence of her grateful daughter, Mrs. E. Sloan, the following story, which is given as nearly as possible in her own language: "Yes, it is with great pleasure that I “can give my testimony to the great value® of JJr.- Williams’ Pinlj Pills. Oyer thirty years ago I was taken with a chill and erysipelas set in. For sixteen weeks I was not able to walk a step. The physicians proposed to take off one of my limbs, but finally decided not to do so. It mortified in spots, which had to be cut or burnt out. After I was able to get about with the. use of crutches, evgry two or three months erysipelas would set Tn ‘ again, and I suffered intensely from it. 1 had a good many different doctors: Dr. Fitch; of Sheridan; Iowa; Dr. Brown,-»F Chanute, Kan.: Dr. Scarft. of Burlington, Iowa: Dr. Trembly, of Oakland, Cal.; Dr. Searle, of Galesburg. 111., and a doctor iu Kansas City, but obtained no relief, and"after treatment from all these physicians, instead of getting better, began to get very much worse. The other limb broke out in two places with sores about the size of a silver dollar. I could not sleep nights without the aid of morphine. My limbs were so badly swollen that I could hot put on my shoes or walk a step without either having on a heavy bandage or a silk or rubber stocking. A bout a year ago I read of and was told by a neighbor, about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. . I con-f cl tided,, as a last resort, to try them, as I felt certain I could find no other relief. From the very first after I commenced to use the pills, I began to improve, and since that time I hare not been troubled at all. I would pot have done without the Pink Pills for anything, as they have most certainly prolonged my life. My general health is much better than it has been fob a good many years, and I am now 81 years of age. Have not only used the Pink Pills with success, but have recommended them to my friends whom I thought needed such treatment, and several have tried them and found relief.” Mrs. Sloan said that just before <ommencing to use the Pink Pills, she thought her mother could live but a very short time, and was most agreeably surprised after she had given the pills a trial. Mrs, Talcott has rnadri her home with her daughter for five or six years, and she can most cheerfully certify to the benefit her mother has derived from the use of the medicine. The reporter also called on Mr. George Kelly, the son of one of the prominent hardware dealers in Biggsville, who has used the Fink Piljs. He was troubled with pains in the stomach and back, and from the very first he commenced to get better, and now he is not troubled at all. John McKee, the druggist in the village, stated that he had sold a great many of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and that they most certainly give the best of satisfaction and have' accomplished great results. Quite a number of the villagers are now using them. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain;dn a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restores shattered nerves. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or wilj be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for 2:50, by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Hours for Sleep.

The truth of the old adage tha,t one hour of sleep before midnight is worth two'hours after, midnight is questioned by Dr. E. P. Colby, who states that he lias made some study of the subject while in naval service during the rebellion. The ship's company on shipboard —officers and men alike—stand four hour watches day and night, with the interpolation of a dog watch of two hours to change the time of each set of mep on successive days. These men are therefore obliged to get their required sleep very irregularly.- but in more than two years’ observation Dr. Colby could never discover that the watch officers and men were not as fulJyjcefreshed by their sleep as were the officers of the ship who were required to stand no watch at all.

Queen Louisa and the Rose.

Before parting Napoleon spent a few momenta at her side, and at the end. turning, pulled from a bunch a beautiful rose, wlrich he offered- with gestures of gallantry and homage. Hesitating a moment, the Queen at last put her hand, and said as she accepted it, “At lea with Magdeburg.” “Madame/ 1 came the frigid reply, “it is mine to give and yours to accept.” But he gave his am to conduct her to the carriage, and as they descended the stair together the disappointed guest said, in a sentimental and emotional voice, “Is it possible that, having had the happiness of all, history, he will not afford me the possibility and the satisfaction of being able to assure him that he_has put uie under 'obligations for life?” ” With solemn tones Napoleon replied, “Madame, I am to be pitied; it is a fault of my unlucky star.” Queen Louisa’s own lady in waiting related that her sovereign’s bitterness overcame her at the last, aud as she stepped info the carriage she said, “Sire, you have cruelly deceived me.”— Century.
