Scrofulous Taints Lurk in the blood of almost every one. In many cases they are inherited. Scrofula appears in running sores, bunches, pimples and cancerous growths. Scrofula can be cured by purifying the blood Hood’s M parilia with Hood’s Sarsa- X* fl fl J*/ 31 CX parilia. This great ft. rem ed y ha s ha d ''CTX wonderful success in curing this disease. It thoroughly eradicates the humor from the blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures the sores and eruptions by removing their cause—impurities in the blood.

Mississippi was originally Meehe Sebe, "rather of Waters.” It was first spelled Misisipi by Tabott, a Jesuit explorer, and one consonant after another has been since added until it is now loaded down. The Choctaws called it “the Long River;” the Illinois Indians knew it as the “Great Fish River;” on old maps it is designated its La Grande Riviere Conception, Riviere Raude, Fleuve St. Louis. Rio del Esperitu Santo, Rio Escondido and many other names. The Indian tribes that lived on its banks named different sections to please themselves, and it is said that from its source to its mouth it was originally called by more than a bundred names. Some philologists doubt the correctness of th? translations given above and commonly received, and •think the original word means "all the rivers of the earth.” It is ns wicked not to do right as it is to do wrong.

SMiii i New Orleans Packet State of Missouri Ooes Down. BOAT STRIKES A ROCK Thirty of the Passengers and Crew Are Drowned.

Panic-Stricken People Trample Each . Other to Death in Their Frantic ■ Efforts to Escape—One of the Yawls Overcrowded and Sunk. Die in Sight of Shore. The great Cincinnati and New Orleans steamer State of Missouri went to the bottom of the Ohio River at Wolf (’reek, seventy miles below Louisville, Ky., at (I o’clock Saturday night ami it is reported that thirty people met death. The steamboat was one of the largest steamers belonging to the Cincinnati anil Memphis Packet Company, and was a new boat worth $(10,000. She left Louisville, Ky., at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, bound for New Orleans, with twenty-three passengers and a crew, making seventy eight people. She had about half a cargo of furniture, nails, acids, etc., and ran smoothly until her dreadful accident that Sent many souls to eternity. The trip was uneventful until the dreaded i dnt known as the horseshoe bend, near Alton, Ind., was reached. Here the pilot slowed down, as the current was Very switt, .and turned his wheel sn as to j avoid an obstruct ion known as Bullock i rock. Ihe rudders failed to respond to j the wheel and there was a grinding, j crashing sound. The boat soon tilled and sunk. The shock was territie and the boat ■ trembled from bow to stern. Consterna- j tion seized upon the passengers and in a moment they were frantic. Without regard to consequences they rushed to the upper decks in the hope of delaying the inevitable, as the boat was rapidly sinking. Women and children were trampled upon, but it is believed all got out of the cabin. 1 hen the scramble for seats in the yawls began. It was a tight for life, in which many combatants are believed to have gone to their death. The first yawl launched was sunk within twenty feet of where it struck the water. It is believed everyone in it was drowned in sight of the affrighted people huddled together on the sinking steamer. A second yawl was then pushed off. It contained four women, j This is believed to have reached shore. J list when there seemed some hope that by means of this yawl the passengers could be saved, the steamer gave another terrific lurch ami literally broke into pieces, and in ten minutes from the moment the rock was struck nothing but the ' hull remained. The cabin, toxas ami pilot-house floated away, dragging down into the water everyone upon it. The lighter freight was washed from the main । deck, and on this men. women and .bit ! dren clung as best they could, many, how- i ever, only to fall back into death's icy embrace. Several succeeded by this means in getting into I ho willows ami trees and ■ were rescued by farmers and passing j Steamers. In less than ten minutes from the time I the boat struck sho had gone down. At ; Rockport and Owensboro, as well as at all intermediate points, the batik is lined with skiffs picking up piee. s of fu'nitu-e and watching for dead bodies, but the cur rent is too swift for small craft to get out far. Four passengers were saved by clinging to a mule which swam ashore, | The passengers were all ticketed through to New Orleans. The State of Missouri was built nt Ma ) i Ison. Ind., in 1800. by the Kajisas City syndicate, for the Missouri River trade, ‘ at a cost of $40,000. She was one < f a trio of fine steamers built by the same company the State of Kansas ami the A. L. Mason being the others. She was 250 feet long, with a forty-four foot beam and six foot hold. She was never laun •lied on the Missouri, but placed on the Ohio and Mississippi, plying between Cincinnati and New Orleans, with occasional trips to St. Louis. GENIUS AND MADNESS. Jurien, the biblical student, became i crazy from studying the apocalypse. ■ He fancied that the ten-horned beast was inside of him. Lamartine was of an exceedingly gloomy temperament, and during his spells of dejection nothing could in the least raise his spirits. Cowper's madness is well known. Once he tried to hang himself, and at ' another time endeavored to commit sul- , cide by drowning himself. 1 Both Charles and Mary Lamb wore 1 dwellers in the borderland of madness, 1 The latter was frequently placed in an asylum, the former but oipp_—- -r f Masanielln became crazed by the sue- ; ces-s of tlie revolution of 1G47 in X:iplc». lie gave many' symptoms of in-i sanity before he was assassinated. Descartes was the victim of auditory hallucinations. They always came I when he was greatly fatigued, and he regarded them as a sign to cease work. | Byron was believed by some of his contemporaries to be mentally unbal- | I anced, and his career of strange wick- ’ i edness gave much color to the supposi- : Hon. Robert. Burns never was well bal- 1 ( anced. His excesses were wild in their । extravagance and were generally fol- ! j lowed by spasms of repentance and melancholy. ! ... | In Rome, during the days of Nerva, ; I apples were 2 cents a dozen; cherries ! were 1 cent; walnuts, % cent; cu- i ! cumbers were sold at twenty for G j cents; lettuce, at twenty heads for 30 i cents, and artichokes at twenty for ‘ GO cents. .A writer in a Paris medical journal asserts that sedentary occupations predisposes to tuberculosis more ,jan any oil ers. Among English and Italian students he asserts that 459 deaths out of 1,000 are due to this cause.

) Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable r Compound CURES ALL

Explosion by Mimic, One of the most dangerous O s n R ex--1 plosives is a black powder called iodide of nitrogen. When It is dry the slljl’dest touch will often cause it to explode with great violence. There appears to be a certain rate of vibration which tills compound cannot resist. In experiments to determine the cause of its extreme explosiveness, some damp iodide of nitrogen was rubbed on the strings of a brass viol. It is known that the strings of such an instrument will vibrate when those of a similar instrument, having an equal tension, are played upon. In this case, after the explosive had become thoroughly dry upon 'he strings, another bass viol was brought near, and its strings were sounded. At a certain note the iodide on the preI pared instrument exploded. It was found that the explosion oc- : curred only when a rate of vibration ot ; sixty per second was communicated to the prepared strings. Vibration of the G string caused an explosion, while that of the E string had no effect. MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR. AN OFT REPEATED STORYt)F TRUE PHILANTHROPY. * What Chas.

Ulms. 11. llackley Ims been in the lumber business here continuously since INSG, ami in that time has amassed a fortune which gives him n rating among the wealthy then of the nation. But with wealth there did not come that tightening of the purse strings which is generally a marked characteristic of wealthy men. It is no wonder, then, that the name of Charles H. llackley is known at homeand . abroad. His muniticciiee to Muskegon alone represents an outlay of nearly half a million. For the past twenty years he has been a constant sufferer from neuralgia ami rheumatism, also numbness of the lower limbs, so much so that it has seriously interfered with bis pleasure in life. For some time past his friend* have noticed that he has seemed to grow young again and to have recovered the health which he had in youth. To a reporter for the Ur*’ Mr. llackley explained the secret of this transformation. "1 have suffered for over 2’* ycnrN.” he snid, "with pains in my lower limbs no severely that the only relief 1 could get at night was by putting cold water eompresses on my limbs. 1 was bothered more at night than in the day time.

Two years ago last Septmnbcr I noticed an account of Dr. Williams' I'inJ* I’illi for Bale People and what they had done for others, nml some eases so nearly resembled mine that 1 was interested, so 1 wrote to one who had given a testimonial. an eminent professor of music in Cnmida.

A Ledyard farmer, eleven miles south I <>f Norwich, Conn., bagged a hoot owl with a steel trap at his hen house wne night last week, the biggest, greediest, most ferocious one probably ever taken in the country. The bird had visited his farmyard half a dozen times after nightfall, and on each visit picked up one of the farmer's fat liens or plump chickens, and went away to his home in a hollow tree with his prey. Finally he tackled a twelve pound turkey gobbler. The turkey struggled with his foe, however, and a fierce battle ensued, in which the turkey was speedily slain, but the owl was unable to get away xvith his game, and after partly plucking it, by the “dry process,” popular in the Nutmeg State, left the gobbler's remains- head, bone and a peck of feathers—ln the farmer's yard.

New York's Chinatown. The Chinese laundrymen do their marketing in Chinatown on Sunday and Sunday night. The scene at such times is very lively. There are Chinese laundry men assembled from all parts of this city, Brooklyn, Long Island City and New Jersey. Friends get together. discuss business and buy and sell laundries. In the course of the day and evening they buy their household supplies for the coming week. There are half a dozen large companies doing business in the quarter. Some of them Import many articles from Ch'na and Japan, ; and there are other stoics which deal j exclusively in American supplies. Among tlie supplies the stores contain I 'l"’ household are scrubbing ; boards, soap, ten, sugar and other gro I ceries, and shoes and bats. I The purchases of the laundrymen arc ' put into large paper bags. These bags Joften carry as assorted a variety of ar ^U'les as a woman's shopping bag. Him dreds of laundrynieii may be seen emerging from Fell and Dover streets carrying these bags on Sunday night, and they are a emunion sight on the surface and elevated cars. Toward midnight the exodus from Chinatown is the greatest. It is a sight seen on no other night. ASTONISHING, BUT TRUE. Sonic Wonderful Things Can He Acromplishcd in This World. A number of our great and most inxeterate tobacco smokers and chew ers have quit the use of the filthy weed. Ilie talismanie article that does the work is No to bac.
