March April, May are the months in which to purify the blood, for at no other reason is the body so susceptible to benefit from medicine. The peculiar purifying and reviving qualities of flood's Sarsaparilla are just what is needed to expel disease and

Fortify the System against the debilitating effects of mild weather. The blood at this season is loaded with impurities, which are Iromptly and thoroughly removed by food's Sarsaparilla, and strength, health, vigor and vitality succeed to weakness, debility, and that tired feeling. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures all dis eases arising from or promoted by impure blood. Remember Hood’s Sarsaparilla elne. C. 1.

In the South, they are the pleasantest and most agreeable. The trees and shrubs put forth their buds and flowers; early vegetables and fruits are ready for eating, and in fact all nature seems to have awakened from its winter sleef>. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company reaches the garden spots of the South, and will on the first and third Tuesdays of March and April sell round trip tickets to all principal points in Tennessee, Alabama and West Florida, at about half rates.

One of Mrs. Pinkham’s Talks Concerning a Mother’s Duty to Her Young Daughter. Together with a Chat with Miss Marie Johnson. The balance wheel of a woman's life is menstruation. On the proper performance of this function depends her health. Irregularity lays the foundation of many diseases, and is in itself symptom of disease. It is of the greatest importance that regularity be accomplished as soon as possible after the flow is an established fact. rf< Va Disturbance of the menstrual function poisons Vq the blood. In young girls suppression develops At? J?? WA latent inherited tendencies to scrofula or con- '' ■ \A sumption, and no time must be lost in restoring Bit A*/ 'W’f RM regularity. Many a young girl goes to her grave Bu \ gJ^S hff l|S because tills difiiculty has been thought lightly of, ■ X?® 1 .. and mother has said, “Time will bring about a cure; she is-young, I don’t worry about her.” Mother, when you see your daughter languid and indifferent to things that usual ly interest a young girl, when you note that flush on her cheek, |l H that glassy appearance in her eyes; when your gj & 'O daughter tells you that even the weight of her ^ resg -waist oppresses her, and that she has terrihie p a j ns j n her stomach shortly after eating, don’t ignore these signs! If you do, you will be following your daughter to the grave, for she will die ’ This is gospel truth—she is developing consumption of the bowels ! Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the greatest regulator known to medicine. Make haste to use it on the first appearance of the tell-tale symptoms; it will restore all the female organs to their normal condition. Miss Marie Johnson’s letter to Mrs. Pinkham, which follows, should interest all mothers and young ladies. She says : “My health became so poor that I had to leave a. school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I would have the headache go badly that everything would appear black be- : fore my eyes, and I could not go on with my studies. I was also troubled with irregularity of |»Hr menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh IHWpK that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought perhaps they might benefit me, / £ JA and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice ,7^ you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable £ I ”1 Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. I have gained flesh and have a good color. lam completely cured of irregularity. Words cannot express my gratitude, and I cannot thank you enough for your kind advice and medicine.” —Miss Maeie F. Johnson, Centralia, Pa.

Bob is a fine 2-yenr-old mastiff, with head and face of massive strength, heightened by great mildness of expression. One day he was seen carrying a hen very gently In his mouth to the kennel. Placing her In one corner he stood sentry while she laid an egg, which he at once devoured. From that day the two have been fast friends, the hen refusing to lay anywhere but in Bob’s kennel and getting her reward lu the dainty morsels from his platter. There must have been a bit of canine reasoning here. Bob must have found eggs to his liking, that they were laid by hens, and that he could best secure a supply by having a lieu to himself.

BILLS THAT FAILED. WORK FOR THE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. Chicago and Illinois Affected by the Delay in Usual Degislation—Sundry Civil Bill Was I’ocket-Vetoed—Riv-ers and Harbors Left Out. For Immediate Attention. Washington correspondence: When the sundry civil bill was pocketed by President Cleveland most of the important Government appropriations iu Illinois for the next fiscal year fell tq, the ground, and if Congress should fail to pass a new bill before the Ist of July some people now in the employ of the Government will have to go out of business or take their compensation on tick. This big appropriation bill is the catchall for things not regularly included under the departments, and it provides the money for an infinite variety of things which have no apparent relation to each other. President McKinley himself would be personally affected, for oiie items vetoed by his predecessor is that' ■which provides for heating and lighting the executive mansion and its grounds, and it is to be presumed the family of the new President will not care to go to bed in the dark after the Ist of July. Col. Bill Morrison of the Interstate Commerce Commission would find himself without a salary, and the Government would he unable to print any more greenbacks if a new law were not enacted. The appropriation in which Chicago is most interest is that of $113,000 for the improvement of the river. More important than the amount of the money itself is the paragraph which was inserted in the Senate, and only accepted by the House after a hard fight, construing the item in the river and harbor bill so that the money to be expended on the Chicago river can be paid for other work than dredging, ns is now held to be the law. AH of the river mid harbor items fail, and among the number are $1,000,000 for the Hennepin canal, $673,333 for the improvement of the Mississippi from the month of the Ohio to the mouth of the Missouri, mid SS26JSG6 from the Missouri to St. Paul, in both of which Illinois is deeply interested. Rock Island would suffer severely because items of $12,500 for the bridge and $48,000 for the arsenal are involved. The Chicago public building is not affected, because, under the original appropriation contracts may be entered into, and there is money enough to keep up the construction until the regular session. I nless a new law is enacted there will bo no money to pay the keeper# of the lighthouses <>r the life-saving stations nt < 'hicago and Evanston or elsewhere on the lakes. The appropriation of $200,000 for the completion of the two new revenue cutters Ims also gone by the board. There is now no provision for paying the rental of the Government offices in the RamlMcNally building after July 1. although the annual rental is $10,345. Wash Hosing would ti ,d things uncomfortable at tlie postoflice if Congress did r ot step in to help him, because the nppr,.pr’nH.>n for fuel, lights and water for public buildings concerns the temporary structure on the hike front, and it has failed with the other items. The Federal Court in Chicago will 1 e without money after July 1, and the marshal, district attorney, commissioners. clerks mid their subordinates will become the creditors of the Government unless 1 nele Joe Uannon starts the ball rolling once more mid pushes through HJiother appropriation bill sufficiently free from jobs to secure the approval of the President. The new soldiers' home nt Danville, for which was appropriated in the Hous,. nn d the amount cut down to $150.006 in the Senate, also went by the bondr. One of the important items which failed to be enacted into law was the appropriation of SL>O,OOO fvt* making the preliminary surveys looking toward the creation of a deep waterway from Chicago and Duluth to the Atlantic seaboard, ns recommended by the commission of which Engineer Cooley was the expert member. The work of improving the channels of the great lakes from Chicago to Buffalo is now in progress, and to continue this the sum of $1,000,000 was provided by the bill which failed to become a law. Such of these items as are deserving will, of course, be included in the new appropriation bill, mid there is not much ground to tear that the Government employes will not get their money. There is, however, a much more pressing urgency in regard to the appropriations carried by the deficiency bill. This measure was hung up in conference. President Cleveland did not veto tiiis measure, but undoubtedly would have done so if it had been presented to him. It carries among other things a lump appropriation, $1,200,000, which is a deficiency in the amount previously provided for collecting the customs revenues. If immediate action is not taken every employe cf the custom house in Chicago will find his salary withhold after April 1 until July 1, for the treasury has no money to pay ordb nary customs expenses after that time. 'i'iiere is no doubt that speedy action will be taken to re-enact all the appropriation bills which failed to become laws. For instance, the agricultural bill, which President Cleveland pocketed because of its seed appropriations, which he has always refused to approve of, carries with it the salary of the secretary of the department, and, of course, "Tama Jim” Wilson of lowa would hardly care to keep up his end in Washingion social life without his expected stipend of SB,OOO per annum. President McKinley is particularly’ anxious that the passage of the belated appropriation bills shall not interfere with the tariff measure which he hopes to have enacted into law at an early date. Latest reports from 'Winona, Minn state that the authorities are certain that Alex. Condot, the French half-breed, and Blackhawk, the negro half breed, are the fiends who committed the murder of the Spicer family at that place. A statue of Bacchus, presented by King George of Greece to the city of* Boston, has disappeared. It never reached Boston. It is not at the custom house and Mayor Quincy and the members of the City Council, as well as the members of the Boston Athletic Association, are wondering what has become of it. V» iiliam J. Koerner, who was convicted of the murder of Rosa A. Redmate, was sentenced at New York to be electrocuted during the week of April 19. Koerner is a newspaper artist and formerly resided in Pittsburg, Pa.
