Health Built on the solid foundation of pure, healthy blood is real and lasting. As long as you have rich red blood you will have no sickness. When you allow your blood to become thin, depleted, robbed of the little red corpuscles which indicate its quality, you will b^-nme tired, worn out, lose your appetite aiid strength, and disease will som have you in its grasp. Purify, vitalize and enrich your blood, and keep it pure by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla The One True Blood Purifier prominently in the public eye. SI.OO. All druggists.

Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial projK'rtics of a perfect laxative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ano permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggist’s in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered. Bacter a as Incendiaries. Experiments made regarding the cause of “spontaneous combustion" of masses of cotton, grass, tobacco, etc., have led to the conclusion that It is due to the fermentation caused by bacteria.

Young girls are subject to thi? trouble. It robs them of the buoyancy of youth. It makes all effort distasteful. It causes retention and suppression of menses, leucorrhcea, severe headache, waxy complexion, depression, weakness, loss of appetite an I interest.

From the Herald, Peoria, 111. More than four years ago Mrs. Cyrus T. King, of Williamsfield, Illinois, was taken sick and for three years treated with five of the best physicians of Peoria, 111. None of them seemed able to understand the nature of her ailment. Finally one physician declared she was suffering from a tumor in the abdomen. This she took medicine for until it was dried vj, but still there was no improvement in her condition. “Finally,” to use Mrs. King's own words, “my condition became such that all of my friends declared it was a mere matter of time until my death would follow. All thought I had consumption. I was compelled to lay down two or three times during the day even if 1 did not work at all, and I was able to do only the lightest. One evening I was sitting in a chair xvhile my husband was lying on the lounge reading a magazine, lie rend the I advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink I Pills for Pale People and turning to me I said. ‘Jennie, you ought to try those pills. I Goodness knows you are pale enough.' The i next day I tries! to get a box at the drug i store in town, but they had none, so I sent to tlie* firm for them and got half a dozen boxes. I had no more than taken one box until an improvement was noted in my condition. It was but a very short while until 1 was able to take up my work again and 1 begun to rapidly gain flesh. My blood, which had been like ] water, became healthy and strong, ami 1 ; never felt better in my life. 1 forgot ! to say that while first sick I had nip J hired one of the inner walls of the abj domen. For three years I had been com- - polled to wear a truss arid bandage. That 1 think hail considerable to do with my weakly condition. I had not taken the pills more than a week or ten days until 1 took the truss and bandage off, and it has not been necessary for mo to wear it i ever since. I had weighed but eighty-five pounds when sick, but tn a short while j my weight had increased to IIS. I am , fuily convinced that 1 owe my life to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale 1 ’eople. "Not only myself has been benefited by the pills, but ma'ny of my neighbors who took them on my recommendation are now enjoying perfect health where before they could hardly do their work. 1 was the first in this neighborhood to get them, but soon many of the surrounding fanrers . were sending for them, and now the l >eai ; druggist always keeps a good stock on I hand. “Early this spring 1 met with a severe accident that threw me hack for n while, but I gid six boxes of the pills and am now feeling just as Well ns ever." The four little cinldnm of Mr. rd Mrs. King, two boys and two girls, are strung and healthy looking. and the mother snys they are kept so by taking the pills when they feel bad. Dr. Williams' Pink Tills contain, in n condensed form, nil the elements mee< sary to give new life and richness io the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to j I females, such as suppressions, irreguiariI tie's and all forms of weakness. In men they effect n radical core in all cases arm- ' lug from mental worry, overwork or ex ' cesses of whatever nnt’oT, Pink Pills are , sold in boxes only at 50 cents a box or i six boxes for $2 50. and may lie bad -f all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' M'diGne to., S' henvi tady, • N Y. Aiuended. The annotations which the late tsar । was in the habit of jotting down on the i margin of documents sent to him for ; inspection must sometimes have ! brought despair into the hearts of the 'Russian officials. i'he Wrsuniusier Gazette reports a ease In which the tsar saw tit to change his written opinion, or rather the form of its expression. After reading a very long report from ■ n certain high sum tlona y, the tsar seized his pencil and wrote, “\\ hat a fool!” The < tlieial. on having the document returned to him. was <ck at heart. The report would have to be placed in the archives, and his majesty’s opinion would probably follow him Into history. H-. therefore resolved to petition the tsar to be merciful enough to revise his s om what rigorous "appreciation" of his servant. Alexander 111. had a hearty laugh on i reading the petition. Then, seizing the ; report, he effaced the offending words, I and instead wrote underneath, "What i a philosopher!" Ho Was Disappointed. The following example of a quaint, philosophic Scotch character is related in the Scottish-American. The season had been an exceptionally bad one for farmers, but in a country church, not d hundred miles from Arbroath, the oftice bearers had resolved, according io custom, to hold the annual thanksgiving harvest service. It was noticed that on that particular Sunday Mr. .Johnstone. a regular attendant and a pillar of the church (whose crops had turned out very poorlyl. was not in attendance. 1 he m nister in the c uise of the following week met Mr. Johnstone. and inquired of him the reason for his absence from church on such an importtint occasion. “Wool. sir." replied Mr. Johnstone. "I dinna care aboot approaebin' my Maker in a speerit o' sarcasm.” Good humor is one of the best articles of dress that one can wear in soci‘ty.

CIGAR-MAKING. A N.‘w Mucliine Which Will Greatly .Reduce the Coat of Manufacture. A new cigar-making machine has recently been introduced in England by a Belgian firm, which is stated to turn out a concha, perfecto or other shaped weed equal to the best hand-rolled article. "While this report will naturally be discredited by’ the lovers of my lady nicotine, the machine is nevertheless an interesting apparatus. The mechanism resembles somewhat a sewing machine in size, and in the manner of feeding the tobacco leaf. ’The aim has been to carry out automatically the same process accomplished by the deft hand of the cigar-makers and the esential foa' ne is a scries of little pinchers and molds, equivalent to thirty’ or forty lingers, which shape the filler and wrap it. Each little pair of molds gras r w a certain part of the cigar, com’resses it to the required shape and gives it a little turn, so that by the time the process is finished the cigar is ready for its end to be cut off. This is done by the same motion which opens the fin-., /.ere to allow the’clgar id be“rcmoved. The most important part of the cigarmaking is the linishing of the ♦mall end. for if It is too hard tlie cigar draws poorly, and If too loose there is no fun In smoking it. The part of the machine making this portion of the cigar is capable of close adjustment, so as to vary the nature of the point, and is also provided with a little pump, by whkh the pn per amount of gum is applied to the wrapper to hold it securely. It Is calculated that the cost of making cigars with the machine. Including the expense of superintendence, will be 10 cents per 100, whereas the English manufacturer now pays the handworker 30 cents per 100, exclusive of the charge of superintendence. —St Louis Globe Democrat. (’rows. When passing through the meadows on my way to work one morning 1 observed a crow pecking in a small pool formed in the walk by the previous night's rain. Being curious to know xx hat he was so vigorously engaged with, I came cautiously forward and saw It was a crust of bread, which ho tvns apparently softening in the water. 3n my approach he flew auay am’ ighted on the grass some twenty yards yff. and then commenced to peck away with seeming penimiclty. 1 passed on for a short distance, still keeping my eyes on him. when he started again for the pool, tossed hi the crust, and ; turned It over two or three times In the water, at the same time testing, as I , thought, the softness of ’t. While the ; crow was thus engaged, another man came along and disturbed bln, nt his breakfast. wht>rcnpon lie lifted his crust, flew to some tlisumee on the grass, laid It down, opened up a tuft of grass ^lth Ids biff, put In his bread and carefully drew the grass over It again and Immediately flew awny Now his purpose in st. eplng the crust and hiding It in the tuft of grass 1 cm understand, as I have no doubt he Intended c<>mlng back for his meal when it would be In ■ a condition better suited for mnstlca- j ; tion; but th. qm <fhm K h«o\ was he to j find again this particular tuft of grass ’ I among the thousand amu id It?

Becoming Reconciled. How conditions have changed hi the intercourse between France and Germany’ becomes more apparent noxv in die* moderation which is shown by the general public In both countries when speaking of the other. With the exception of a few Ohauvanlstic newspapers in France the general tone of the press Is pacific. Commercial relations are also beginning to become more general. The large Parte dry goods houses are again making pur- j Chases in Berlin, which even a short time ago would have been thought impossible; one of them, the famous “Au Louvre,” has even a resident purchasing agent In Berlin. It has taken twen-ty-five years to re-establish the commerclal intei'course between the two countries. A mother writing from Plymouth, . Mass., of late date, savs: “I have raised eight children on Ridge's Food—the oldest about 24, the youngest three years old, and have never used any other artificial food. I have saved the lives of several children from cholera Infantum by its use, one of which the doctors had given j up. I heartily and gladly recommend it and have done so for over twenty years.” Railroading in India.
