Spring Those un- a R ™ Humors tions, painful boils, annoying pimples and other affections, which appear so generally at this season, make the use of that grand Spring Medicine, Hood's Sarsaparilla, a necessity. The accumulated impurities in the blood cause very different symptoms with some people. The kidneys, liver and towels are overmatched in their efforts to relieve the clogged system. Dizzy headaches, bilious attacks, failure of appetite, coated tongue, lame back, indigestion and that tired feeling are some results. From the same cause may also come scrofula, neuralgia, sciatia or rheumatism. All these troubles and more may properly be called “Spring Humors,” and just, as there is one cause, a cure is found in just one remedy, and that is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Hood’s Sarsaparilla purifies the impure blood, enriches blood which is weak and thin, vitalizes blood which lacks vitality. Thus it reaches every part of the human system. .

The Th© The 'O' I Best. Rest Test, I ® w Cc o) \§z There are two kinds of sarsaparilla: The best — and ths e rest. Tho trouble is they look alike. And when the rest _ dress like the best who’s to tell them apart? Well, “the tree is known by its fruit.” That’s an old test and a safe one. And tho taller the tree the deeper tiro root. That’s another test. What’s tho root, —tho record of these sarsaparillas ? The yOy one with tho deepest root is Ayer’s. Tho ono with tho richest fruit; that, too, is Ayer’s. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has a record of rW • half a century of cures; a record of many medals and awards—culminating in tho medal of tho Chicago World’s Fair, which, ©admitting Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as tho best—shut its doors against the rest. That was greater honor than the medal, to bo tho only Sarsaparilla admitted as an exhibit at tho World’s Fair. If you want to get tho best sarsaparilla of your druggist* here’s an infallible rule : Ask for tho best and you’ll get Ayer’s. Ask GJ an ^ y ° Uget th o kest.

Battles a Wild Goose. William E. Metcalf, of Niles, Mich., Is considered a famous hunter. He has spent many years in that vicinity, and the many spots where game abounds are not unknown to him. He is an , absolutely fearless man, and liis ) bravely more than once saved him from being torn to pieces by the fierce denizens of the forest. While Mr. Met- } calf loves to relate Ids many adventures, there is none that he recalls that causes him to shudder so much as a ; tight lie recently had witli a male wild . j goose. One morning he started out with a quail net, which he set in hopes of capturing some of the birds. After accomplishing the setting of the trap satisfactorily he left. The next mornft “THK MAX WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY THE SUDDENNESS OF THE ONSLAUGHT.” ing he returned to the scene of his operations, and when he approached within a few rods of the trap he heard a loud cackling. He crept cautiously forward, and when he came in sight of the net was astonished to find that seventeen fine wild geese had become entangled in the meshes, and were unable to get loose. Outside, and free of the net, stalked along a magnificent gander, a lordly bird, and seemingly monarch of all he surveyed. As he came forward the gander eyed Metcalf and then flew at him ferociously. Before he could escape the bird had given him several hard slaps with his wings, meanwhile digging him severely with his feet, and pecking away with his beak nt his face and eyes. The man was knocked down by the suddenness of the onslauaht of the enraged bird, which did not let up in his attack. Mr. Metcalf thought his time had come, but he funnily got hold of a club lying near by, with which lie dealt the gander a half dozen blows, stunning the bird. Mr. Metcalf managed to get to his feet, and then easily dispatched the gander, which was the largest ever seen in the vicinity. The hunter’s face was terribly scratched and his clothes were badly torn, while he smarted considerably from the blows of the gander's wings. He killed the balance of the wild geese and carried his game home in triumph, though he had had a fierce tight to gain possession. Mr. Metcalf could never account for the attack of the gander, unless it was trying to protect its mates. Current Condensations. There are thirty-eight ex-Governors of States in the present House at Washington, but very few of them have attained distinction there.

The British government is to spend $3,000,000 in buying Salisbury plain for a maneuvering ground. This great waste covers sixty square miles and takes in Stonehenge. It is to be hoped that the venerable triliths will not be used for target practice. Railway building has been carried on with vigor of late in the island of Ceylon, and the traffic has increased correspondingly. In ISS7, with ISO miles of railway, 1,900,280 passengers were carried, and in 1895, for 300 miles of road, there were 4,821,867 passengers.

AN ARABIAN WEDDING. Picturesque Ceremony Described By An American Girl. The following extract from the letter of an American girl in Cairo describes an Arabian wedding, which, the writer was permitted to witness as one of a small party of favored guests. At 8 o’clock in the morning our Aragonian, who, by the way, is a fascinating and picturesque fellow, well supplied with letters of recommendation from many famous people, met us at the door of our hotel with three enormous bouquets. Arriving at a very narrow street, we proceeded a short distance on foot under red rags, striped awnings and lanterns which were stretched over our heads the length of the street. The ground was sprinkled with sand, and along the sides of the houses were seats provided for the men, as none of the sterner sex were allowed in the room or house of the bride. We, the women, mounted three flights of stairs, and found ourselves in a large room filled with Arabian women of various classes, also some Grecian and Turkish women. They were arrayed in many-colored garments, pink silk scarfs, gold embroidered jackets, blue plush and wool stuffs, combinations I cannot begin to describe. The women gathered around us and led us to the divan arranged fox - the bride, seating the oldest in the party in the middle, while the rest of us were given places on either side. We remonstrated, but they assured us that the bride could sit upon a chair. Ws Were great curiosities to them, apparently, and we certainly enjoyed the novelty of our positions. In their simple way they showed us great hospitality. The approach of the bride was heralded by a most conglomerate lot of howling women and children, playing tom-toms, tambourines and native instruments anything but musical. We arose to resign our seats of honor in favor of the bride and her attendants, but she insisted that we two remain on either side of her, while she occupied the middle seat just vacated by one of the party, and so we sat through all the howling and banging, the pushing and jostling of these halfcivilized creatures. After every one had seen, the bride an enormous woman laden with jewelry and golden chains, began to howl and hammer on a tambourine, then the guests threw coin into the bride's cap while the women howled agid made other hideous noises. After this the guests began to mingle with one another, and we found some who spoke a little English, some French and some Italian. Finally a very intelligent Greek woman took us in charge; she was quite a linguist, and we were enabled to appreciate what we had seen after her explanations. Then came the refreshments, and we had to eat little cakes and big cakes, all shapes and flavors, and last one awful affair soaked in wine. This was the end of the bride's part of the entertainment. We went down stairs to Join the men of our party, and there met a very jolly old priest, who had been to London and Paris, spoke good French, and who interested us very much. He it was who was to perform the ceremony. The man we had not yet seen, but we were soon presented to him, with his attendants, who were parading up and down this inclosed street preceded by an Egyptian band. We presented him with our two remaining bouquets, having left one with his 16-year-old bride. Again we all went upstairs, and saw the groom lift the veil of the bride, supposed to be his first sight of her fair countenance. This was the ninth and last day of this wedding perfon*ance, and the most important one, for they were at last duly tied by the old priest, and went home by morning light. It was a weird performance. Through it all they showed us, the only Europeans present, great respect, and in good English said they hoped we had had a pleasant fime and were glad that we came. On the following day (Friday) we were taken to see the famous Whirling Dervishes. Friday, one must bear in mind, is the Mohammedan Sunday, and an eventful day. The court surrounding the arena in which this weird and uncanny performance takes place holds about 500 persons, and it was filled wah all sorts and conditions of people, Americans and English the predominating element. Soon after we entered the court the whirlers made their an--pwiitmffl, uiesseuTn short white skirts and on their heads the funniest looking chimney pot hats. After marching around and around for fifteen minutes to the hideous noise of a band composed of tom-toms, tambourines and some wind instrument, they began to whirl, and whirled until it seemed to us to whom the sight was new, that we must cry out to them to cease. The sight was positively maddening. After fifteen minutes of constant whirling they dropped to the ground from sheer exhaustion, apparently. It appears, however, that this part of the programme is for effect entirely. From this place we drove to hear the "Howlers,” quite as famous as the “Whirlers,” who were a horrid lot of healthy, lusty men, simply howling and making as much noise as possible in a most unpleasant manner, which gave one the “creeps.” One old fellow kept it up until he had hysterics and frothed at the mouth.- —Detroit Free Press.
