Covered with Boils Little Girl Suffered With Eruptions on Head and Face. Faithful Use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla Effects a Curt, “My little girl was covered with boils eu her head and face. She also had sore eyelids. We began giving her Hood’s Sarsaparilla one year ago. and for some time we could not see any change in her condition, but we were faithful in the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and in a few weeks more 1 noticed some improvement. After she hail taken three bottles she was perfectly well. Her face is now entirely free from any marks or sears. I think it is no more than right to give this testimonial in favor of Hood’s Sarsaparilla." Mrs. Milton Bearnsderfer, 35 Hazel St., Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Weak and Nervous. “I was weak and nervous. Hearing so much about the wonderful effects of Hood's Sarsaparilla 1 concluded to try it and improved rapidly. I h^vo been greatly benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and my father has also taken it for catarrh of the stomach and it has cured him.” Miss A. E. Thoman, 375 Lyceum avenue, Roxborough, Pennsylvania.

How to Kool Sllns. 'fake a shallow dish ami fill With sharp sand; wet this very wet. Imt not so that it will be ninthly, or so that the water will stiind on the surface. Insert the s<lips in this sand ami never let it get di'icd out: this is tli." secret of sue cess keep the sand Avet all the lime, and rtmn'inber that it dries out rapidly. If you want to root a geranium slip dioose one that is strong-, large, hei.lthy and not woody. Almost anything will root in this wet sand. If you want to root a good many slips, a box or something that could be covered with glass would be la'St. Fill this partially with sand, and have no drainage; insert the slips and cover with glass, put the liox In a sunny window and raise the back end so that tin' lx>x will be thrown w ith its entire surface to the sunshine. Slips will root rapidly, and when well nmiisl they may be transplanted. If you Ih'gin oatiy, you will have plants for summer blooming, and those that have bloomed during the winter may take a rest and have their buds pinched oil to tit them for service an other winter, it Is a fact that a plant will produei* more Howers as It grows older if it is cared for. Os course plants may get too eld, but I think this is the exception rather than the rule. Now a word about potting rio-bsl slips: these must bo li.it: tied with (Tire, and here is where the novice makes a mistake. Oonot put a tint nwded slip or a good sized rooted slip into a big jsit, use a very small one; 1! w ill not put the plant back to transplant It from time to time. It will do it good; it will make it : strong and stocky instead of letting it grow up spindling and weak. I se drainage always in the Ind tom o’ the po>t, and for the first potting use rather ]xsir soil, and put sand nlnuAt the roots at first. W hen the plant is well establish* I mid growing well, then transplant It to a pot one size larger, and use as good soil as It may nsiuire: if you use the regular flower pots the jiotting Is an easy matter, ns the plant may 1h« taken out w ith all the dirt alsMit its roots and reset without much trouble.

The above class of scientists recognize and have repeatedly borne testimony, to the efficacy of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as • remedy and preventive of fever and ague, rheumatism, waul of vigor, liver complaint, and some other ailments and infirm conditions of the system. Experience and observation have taught them its value. They but echo the verdict long since pronounced by the public and t lie press, (inly the benighted now are ignorant of America's tonic and alterative. Do Snakes Heally Bite? A careful student of snakes and their ways declares that they never bite, despite Hie common lielief that they kill . in that fashion. In fact, says this man, j snakes can't bite because their jaws 1 are connected only by a cartilage, and i not hinged, ami cannot be brought to- ; gether will) any force. 'I lie snake simply hooks the fangs in its upper Jaw ; into tlie object aimed at, the lower jaw i not figuring nt all.
