iiaiffin Halt well | ! Many persons have their good day and their bad day. Others are about half sick all the time. They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work Is a burden. What is the cause of all this? impure blood. And the remedy? It clears out the channels through which poisons are carried from the body. When all impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold Iff and completes the cure. If there is constipation, take W Ayer’s Pills.

FIND QUAY NOT GUILTY.

Trial of the Pennsylvanian Reanlt* in Acquittal. The jury in the case of former United States Senator Quay, on trial for conspiring to use for his own unlawful gain and profit the funds of the State of Pennsylvania deposited in the People’s Bank of Philadelphia, returned a verdict of “not guilty.” Following quickly upon the verdict of the jury came the news that Gov. Stone had appointed Mr. Quay to be United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by failure of the Legislature to name a successor to Mr. Quay. The Legislature failed to elect a Senator before it adjourned on account of a deadlock. This left Pennsylvania with but one Senator unless an appointment was made or an extra session of the Leg. islature was called and elected a Senator.

MATTHEW S. QUAY.

The appointment is supposed to be a second verdict in Senator Quay’s favor in his trial. When the verdict was announced there was an attempt at a demonstration, but this was sternly repressed by the court officers, whose loud shouts of “Order,” “Order,” “Silence” were effective in silencing those jubilant spirits who wished to give vent to their satisfaction by cheering. The officers were unable, however, to keep back those who struggled to get to Mr. Quay and congratulate him. Chain were upset, tables were brushed aside and hats were smashed by the on-rushing crowd. Mr. Quay, with a broad smile on his face, responded pleasantly to the greetings and congratulations of those who crowded around. A number of his political friends were there, and these men were loud and sincere in their expressions. The jury took but three ballots in the case. On two of these ballots they stood ten to two for acquittal. The latter two men were hot won over until a few minutes before the jury entered the court room.

BRANDED AS COWARDS.

Officers of Seventy-flret New York Receive a Severe Sentence. As a result of the court of inquiry which investigated the conduct of the Seventyfirst New York regiment in the Santiago campaign, the fact is developed that Maj. Smith, who was lieutenant colonel of the volunteer regiment; Capt. Whittle, who was major in that command, and Maj. Austin of the staff of Brig. Gen. Smith, Who commanded a company in the regiment, were all guilty of cowardice when the order came to move to the front. It will be remembered that the refusal of the Seventy-first’s officers to move forward under fire from the Spanish intrenchments was a signal for the rough riders, who charged through the New York regiment and on toward the muzzles of the enemy’s guns. While the report of the court is severe on the officers named, it exonerates the soldiers, every man of whom was ready to move on the enemy.

FROM FOREIGN LANDS

The number of Egyptian pilgrims to Mecca this year is 1,914. It is stated 200,000 Russian emigrants settled in Siberia in the year 1898. Germany has formally assumed control over the New Guinea protectorate in Africa. The German cruiser Arcona is stationed at Muscat to watch German interests on the east coast of Arabia. Spain has decided to sell the cruisers Rapido, Patriots and Nebeoro, purchased from German owners during the late war. A new Danish steamship line will operate three freight and two passenger steamers between Denmark and England. Large numbers of the inhabitants of the province of Tigre, north of Abyssinia, are emigrating to Egyptian territory, preferring British rule to that of King MeneJek. The administration of the Niger coast protectorate which has hitherto been conducted by the British foreign office has been transferred to the colonial department. ‘ The British war office has decided to rearm the horse and field artillery with Vickers-Maxim quick-firing guns. The rate of fire of these guns is twelve shots per minute.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM

May Become Invaded by Catarrh— General Lewis’ Case.

BOX. JAMES LEWIS, SURVEYOR GENERAL OF LOUISIANA.

Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co., Columbus, O-: Gentlemen—l have vised Pe-ru-na for a short time and can cheerfully recommend it as being all you represent, and wish every man who is suffering with catarrh could know of its great value. Should I at any future time have occa-slon-to recommend a treatment of your kina, rest assured that yours will be the one. Gratefully yours, JAMES LEWIS. Wherever the catarrh Is there is sure to be a waste of mucus. The mucus is as precious as blood. It is blood, in fact It is blood plasma—blood with the corpuscles removed. To stop this waste, you must stop this catarrh. A course of treatment with Pe-ru-na never fails to do this. Send for free catarrh book. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio.

“Not the General’s Cow.”

“Tommy Atkins”—the slang name of the British private—is not noted for his politeness, but for his obedience to orders. Years ago In a seaport town in England a general and an admiral were neighbors. The general’s house was fronted by a grass-plot, on which he pastured a cow. One day his wife complained to him that the supply of milk was falling short The sentinel accounted for the deficiency—the public trod down the pasture. Thereupon the general gave orders that no human or other animal except his cow should be allowed on the grass-plot He added that If this rule was infringed the sentinel should be flogged. Soon after, the admiral’s wife, in haste to keep an engagement, took a ( short cut over the plot, disregarding the sentinel’s order to keep off the grass. “Common soldier, don’t you know who I am?” ejaculated the offended lady. “All I know Is that you’re not the general’s cow.”

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only on* way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of th* Eustachlaa Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed yOu have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness is th* result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to It* normal Xdltion, hearing will be destroyed forever; b cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. ___ F. JOCHEN E K & CO., Toledo, O.

Shooting Bullets Into Snow.

Some experiments were made recently In France on the penetrative power of bullets through snow. The results were astonishing. The Lebel rifle was used, and at a distance of 160 feet the bullet penetrated only five feet Into the snow target. A bullet from a Lebel rifle has been known, It la said, to go through a tree of three and a half feet In diameter. That it should only penetrate eighteen Inches farther into such soft stuff as snow seems altogether startling. The explanation suggested by the experimentalists Is that the rotating bullet picks up particles of snow as it goes In and so gets “balled,” or blocked up.

English Judges’ Black Cap.

There is one particular part of the dress belonging to the order of the coif —the black cap—which the judges in England always put over their wigs when passing sentence of death. Little is known concerning this black cap, and many mistakes have been made about it. Sergeant Pulling, in his work, “The Order of the Coif,” says: “The black cap, or sentence cap, of the judges and sergeants Is certainly not the coif, as Lord Campbell repeatedly statfes. It is, on the contrary, the covering expressly assigned to veil the coif on the only occasion when the coif is required to be hidden. By the ancient privileges of the sergeants the coif was not to be taken off, even in the royal presence. The chief insignia of the order was to be so displayed when sitting on the bench or pleading at the bar, but this rule seems always to have been departed from In passing sentence of death. “The head of the administrator of Justice was then covered, as a token of sorrow, by the black sentence cap. This cornered cap, black cap, or sentence cap, as It Is sometimes termed, is a piece of limp black cloth, which Is put on top of the wig. The cap is rarely put on except when a prisoner has been convicted of murder, and then the Judge places the cap on the top of his wig and passes sentence of death.” When the judges sit in the criminal courts and when attending church in state, they always carry the black cap in their hands as a part of their regular judicial attire. The black cap Is also worn by the judges on the day when the new Lord Mayor goes in state to the royal courts of justice to be sworn In—Gentleman’s Magazine.

A Peculiar House.

The most peculiar house in the United Kingdom Is probably the triangular one at Rushton, In Northamptonshire. Its design Is supposed to typify the Trinity. It has three stories, and each story has three windows on each of the three sides, while each of the windows In two of the three stories Is In the shape of a trefoil—the three-leaved shamrock. In each of the other windows there are twelve panes, arranged In three fours, and the panes throughout are triangular. Three gables rise on each side, and from the center, where their roofs meet, a three-sided chimney, surmounted by a triangular pyramid, terminates In a large trefoil. The smoke issues from three round holes on each of the three sides of the chimney. Three Latin inscriptions, one on each side of the house, have each thirty letters, while over the door there is another Latin Inscription of three words, the English of which Is, “There are three that bear record,” and on each side are the carved figures of three angels bearing shields. Inside the house each floor contains three three-sided apartments; the length of each of the walls, by outside measurement, Is thirty-three feet, four inches, that is, exactly thirty-three and one-third feet

W. R. Milburn, John Holmes, M. R. Dagger, E. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista County, lowa, report as follows of the Canadian Northwest as to its suitability for farming, and the advantages It offers to the agricultural Immigrant from the United States: “We came here solely to look up improved farms and, If suitable, to select such as pleased us best. We have not visited the homestead districts at all, though we believe them to be very Inviting. Our Inquiries have been confined solely to the district around Hartney, Deloralne and towards the Souris river In Manitoba. Our impressions of all that region are in every way satisfactory, and we have decided to go back to lowa at once, and, having disposed of our several Interests there, to return to Manitoba in the month of March next, and. effecting our purchase of Improved farms, which we find we can do at reasonable rates, immediately begin farming. We are greatly pleased with all that we have seen In that part of Western Canada. The soli we find to be more than equal to that of our own country for wheat growing, and the other conditions of climate, schools, markets, etc., are all that we could wish for.

“To show what an energetic man can do we may mention that we found one such at Hartney who had rented a farm on shares, receiving two-thirds of the returns as his share of the crop. When he came to sell his own produce he found that his two-tblrds, when converted Into cash, was enough to buy the farm he rented out and out, which he accordingly did, and is now Its owner. It Is our intention to Induce as many of our friends as possible, who are practical farmers, to remove from lowa to this country, where we believe there is a better future for the industrious man than Is now to be found anywhere on this continent. We are well known in our part of the State of lowa, and we invite correspondence from Its residents In all parts with regard to this region of Western Canada which we have visited, and to which we intend to return.”

Four Thousand Degrees of Heat. The greatest heat produced artificially Is that of an electric arc furnace, the kind that Is used Id the production of artificial diamonds, calcium carbide, etc. It Is so intense that nothing exists with which to record it. It is estimated, however, to be of about 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit The coldest known temperature Is that of liquid air, which freezes alcohol and mercury and distances all means of measuring. It is claimed for It that with It a temperature of 400 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, is reached. The present limits of heat and cold are, therefore, represented by the arc furnace and the liquid air.
