“SWEET SIXTEEN." An Exquisite Calendar. Hood's calendar, which is always looked for with interest and pleasure, has mad® Its appearance tor the year 1894, and is in many respects more beautiful than ever. The head is that of a lovely girl just “sweet •ixteen,” lithographed in delicate and natural colors. Besides being a thing of beauty, the calendar is especially valuable for the general information presented. The figures are plainly printed in pleasing and harmonious colors and the effect as a whole is most satisfactory. The calendars can be obtained of almost any urugglst, or by sending six (6) cents in stamps for one and ten (10) cents for two Hood & Ca, Lowell, Mass. An edition of over eight millions of these calendars was printed in order to supply the Immense demand. This seems a simple | statement, but its meaning is almost be- I yond human conception. The card used j for the upper portion of this number of I calendars would cover nearly fifty-two ! (52) acres of ground, and the paper con- I Burned in making the pads, if cut’in one ; continuous strip of the same width as the ; pads, would be over eighteen thousand (18,000) miles in length. These calendars are issued by the proprietors of Hood's Sarsaparilla, the wellknown medicine which has gained such renown by its wonderful cures in cases where the blood was poisoned or impure. The history of this preparation is entirely unique, the business having grown from a small retail trade until, at the present time, the great laboratory’ in which it is made has a capacity for fifty thousand (50,000) bottles a day and is the largest building in the world devoted to the manufacture of a medicine. The sales of Hood’s Sarsaparilla in all sections of the country are enormous. The proprietors have never claimed that it would cure every ailment, but they show by thousands of testimonials that Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies and vitalizes the blood, builds up the system, and cures those diseases caused by Impure blood and debility, such as scrofula, salt rheum, catarrh, rheumatism, etc. As a preventive of the grip, Hood's Sarsaparilla has proved to be unequalled, and it restores the wasted vital forces after a siege of that dreaded malady and fortifies the system against future attacks. The fact that great care is exercised In । the preparation of this medicine and that nothing has ever been claimed for it except as warranted by previous cures, has much to do with the confidence felt by the public in its curative powers. The motto Os the proprietors is, “It is not what we ! say. but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story,” :.nd it is what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done, as shown by the published statements of persons whom it ha« cured, that has placed it at the head in the field of medicine in the present day. Say “Thank You," Not “Thanks.’’ “Thanks” is a miserable expression, commonly used by persons who have not had the advantages of good breeding. Every favor received and civility 1 showp deserves to be recognized, and ■ the smallest acknowledgment the re« j cipient can make is to sav or write ! “Thank you.” The vulgarity of ■ “thanks” is on a par with the postalcard correspondence. 85,800 FROM TEN ACRES. C A. M. Lamb, a market gardener in ' Pennsylvania, cleared $5,800 on five ! acres of cabbage and five acres of ' onions. The reason of this, he says, I was because Salzer’s seeds are so ex- j tremely early and wondrously productive. Lightning Cabbage and King of j the Earliest Onions he had in the i market three weeks ahead of any 1 other home-grown sort-, and conse- ; quentiy received fancy prices. Salzer, sends 35 packages earliest vegetable seed, sufficient for a family, for sl, I postpaid. If You Will Cut This Out an 1 Send It | with tic postage to the John A.

FIFTEEN ARE KILLED. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY WRECK IN NEW JERSEY. Two Trains on the Lackawanna and West- | ern Collide—Curs Filled with Persons En Route to New York to Work Are Smashed Into I’leces. Signals Could Not Be Seen, j There was a frightful accident on ' Monday morning on the west side of I the Hackensack bridge, on the Morris ■ and Essex branch of the Delaware, I Lackawanna and Western Railroad. I The train which leaves Roseville, N. ‘ J., at eight o'clock crashed it.to the i rear of the Dover express, tele coping i two cars. Fifteen j assengers in these two cars were killed and a: least, twen-ty-five terribly in tired. ” Both of the trains that came into collision were bound for the .Jersey City ferry landing. The Dover express, which is due at Jersey City at 8:20 o'clock, was steaming slowly over the meadows toward the draw-bridge over the Hacken ack River. The fog was so dense that the engineer could not see fifty feet ahead, ai.d was proceeding with extreme caution. The train hands had distributed on the track in the rear of the train warning torpedoes, and all precautions were taken to pi event the Orange local train, following a lew moments behind the express, from running int > the latter train. Disregarded the Signals’. The engineer of the Orange train either did not hear the torpedoes or see the signals or else ignored them, for just as the engineer of the Dover express reached the bridge ti e Orange j train, which was running at full speed, crashed into it with terrific force. The engine of the Orange train ^mashed the two rear cars of the Dover train into pieces and plowed over I the passengers, who by the force of the collision had been hurled from their sea's, only to be crushed to death bv the wheels < f the Orange engine. The rear car on the Do\er train was a con donation sm. kerand baggage car, and the one in fiont of that an ordinary day coach. Every seat in both coaches was occupied by persons on their way to work i i New Y< rk. and a number of passengers were in the bag- ' gage car. The passengers in the smoker had little chain e to esea] e. They had no warning of the crash. Those in the day coach had a better op] ortunity. Tney plunged through the windows and crowded to the trout d ors, with the guard of the Orange train engine only a few feet away. Most of those killed and injured were in the smoking ear, and as the great engine crashed into the car among them they were toppled over by the heavv iron guard and those who were killed were crushed to death, lit.'rally ground to pieces. Shrieks of Injure ! and Dying:. When the engine was finally stopped the shrieks of the passengers and the moans of the injured and dying filled the air, mingled with which was a loud hiss of escaping stt am. It was some moments before those who were unhurt had sufficiently recovered enough presence of mind to turn their attention to the injured, dying and dead. “ every person in the two rear injured, some frightfully ; qjqn #516 seriously. Hew many were not at first be learned. Th^^ reports of the extent of the disaster were soon current. The on y warning ; that the passengers in the rear car had came from half a dozen men who । were on the rear platform. A brakej man who had been sent back to warn i the Orange train rushed up to the men 1 on the platform less than HX) feet ahead of the oncoming engine of death and called out: “Jump for your liv es. ” All of the ] assengers on the platform escaped. The baggage-handler in the baggage-car and the express messenger also heard his warning cry and sprang through the side door just i as the engine of the local train — ’ which, according to the trainmen, was running at a rate of twenty miles an . hour-crashed into it. It was fully five minutes after the crash before'the passengers on the two trains could realize the full extent of the catastophe. Then came the great- । est confusit n imaginable. The trainhands led the passengers to the work ! of rescue. Three mangled bodies were pulled out of the wreck within ten minutes. The passengers crowded about and rendered valuable service in । caring for the injured. Several men who attempted to assist fainted upon ' seeing the sickening condition of the bodies dragged out from under the wreck. A call was sent to Jersey City for | doctors, ambulances and coffins. A relief train was sent to the scene from Hoboken, and thirty physicians arrived from that place and Jersey City. One by one the injured were taken out and placed in the cars. They were sent to the Christ and St. Mary hospitals in Hoboken. The bodies of the dead were removed to the morgue. Coroner Volk had been notified and took charge of them as soon as he arrived.

The rear biakeman, Joi n Ryan, had been sent back to flag approaching trains. When the robbers released ( the train it left without calling in the brakeman. He secured a horse and I rode back to the city, where he re- ' ported at once to the railroad officials. i Onlv three shots were fired by the ' robb ts. and they were fired in the air. ■ Express Messenger Wetzel open d the . safe, with two revolvers pointed ; at bis head.

CONFESSES TO ROBBERY. Trusted Employe of a Tbil uhdphia Concern Steal* 54*,000. After twenty-seven years of service. Theodore F.

Baker attempt d no defen-e, and sail his stealings had extended over a period of twenty years. In default of SIS,(MX) bail he was committed to prison. A short time ago a bookkeeper named Van Du en discovered that his books had been falsified and he found a shortage of $30,000. The discovery and fear that suspicion might fall on him so worried him that he fell ill, and while sick he confided the mat er to his physician, and at the same time protested his innocence.

Postal Red Tape. The following story of a postoffice practical joke is told London Truth apropos of the case of overcharges for telegraph porterage at Cleator. A miller in Midlothian, after paying porterage on his telegrams for many years, discovered that he was within a mile of the office, and made a claim for repayment. The postoffice officials investigated the facts, and admitted in writing that the distance was under a mile. They demanded inspection of all the telegrams on which the overcharge was claimed. This was conceded, and after a long delay the claim was paid. A month or so elapsed, when two gentlemen arrived and proceeded to argue with the mill owner that his ^hcu e was really over the mile from office. The fact was that ij was J over the mile by the high road, but I under the mile when a cut was taken [by a footpath. Before a group of amused spectators the two officials i proceeded to demonstrate their case by j solemnly pacing down the high road, after which they announced that the distance was a mile and so many yards, and that the claim would not be entertained. Great, as may be imagined, was their discomfiture when they । learned that the department had long since admitted the distance and ]>aid the claim. I can readily understand j that this was regarded as very good I fun by the mill owner a id his friends, * but I should like to know who paid for the joke.
