Hore and Greater Are the cures produced by Hood's Sarsaparilla than by any other medicine. If you are suffering with scrofula, salt rheum, hip disease, running sores, boils, pimples, dyspepsia, loss of appetite or that tired feeling, take Hood's Sarsaparilla. You may confidently expect a prompt and permanent cure. Its unequalled record is

due to its positive merit. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the best—in fact, the One True Blood Purifier. HOOli ’ Pi Ii c <io not cause pain orgrlpe. s wmu uissi? All druggists. 25c.

Recently there has been placed in all the grocery stores a new preparation called GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee. The most delicate stomach receives it without distress, and but few can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over one-fourth as much. Children may drink it with great benefit. 15c. and 25c. per package. Try it. Ask for GRAIN-0.

Piso’s Cure for Consumption is the only cough medicine used in my house. —IO. O. A 1 brigh t, Mi til in b urg, Pa., Dec. 11. '95. THE TURN OF LIFE Is the most important period in a woman’s existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with

13

chills, as if the heart -were going’ to stop for good, are symptoms of a dangerous nervous trouble. Those hot flashes are just so many calls from nature for ”w/ help. The

nerves are crying out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time. Lydia * E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman’s system at this trying period of Iver life. The Vegetable Compound is an invigorating strengthener of the female organism. It builds up the weakened nervous system and enables a woman to pass that grand change triumphantly.

It does not seem necessary for us to prove the honesty of our statements, but it la u, pleasure to publish such grateful words as the following : “ I have been using Lydia E. Pinkham’.-, Vegetable Compound for some time during the change of life and it has been a saviour of life unto me. 1 can cheerfully recommend your medicine to all women, and I know it will give permanent relief. I would be glad to relate ray experience to any sufferer.” —Mrs. Della Watson, 524 West sth St., Cincinnati, Ohio.

The King or Siam. Chulalongkorn, the King of Siam, is one of the most progressive monarchs in the orient. Unlike all of his predecessors, lie does not believe in absurd adulation. No subject of his is permitted to bow the head to the ground whenever Chulalongkorn comes around. The king is now 44 years old and has 153 children and wives ad libitum. He was selected by the “great council'’ to rule over Siam in 18G8, the ■

year of fils father’s death. As soon as he got into power this modern monarch began to make all kinds of reforms, many of which were curtail-

ments of his own prerogatives. lie asked his subjects to come up and shake hands with him like men. He proclaimed perfect religious liberty in all the realm of Siam, and told the Christians that they would be protected in their worship. He partly abolished slavery, built railroads and telegraphs, improved the rivers, opened schools, hospitals and asylums and, in one word, tried to make Siam look like the nineteenth century after instead of the nineteenth century before Christ. He plays billiards and reads Shakspeare. Current Condensations. The Court of Appeals of New York has held that it was no ground for a new trial beckv.se the jury in a murder case attended church on Sunday in custody of the Sheriff and hoard a sermon on the prevalence of crime. Hobo is a common word among the Sioux or Dakota Indians. They use the word in referring to young men who have nothing to do. An old chief will correct a son for any such tendencies by saying: “You 1 act like a hobo.” A French princess has placed a considerable sum at the disposal of the superior of-the School of Sisters of St. Joseph in Athens to found a home in the island of Santorin for the chil lien of Greek officers killed in the late war. The London Lancet says in an elabor-

ate article that there is an absolute pathological JUentity in the symptoms of alcoholism and the condition of one madly in love. In both cases, that high medical authority remarks, separation is a cure. i An order has been issued by the India Government that no rifles sighted beyond 300 yards are to be shipped to India, and'that rifles sighted above the maximum allowed will bo confiscated. This order lias caused some consternation among Birmingham gunmakers.

The Philadelphia school authorities . tested the pile of coal delivered at one of the .schoolhouses and found it thirteen tons short of the amount paid for. A similar shortage is reported at ail the police stations and is believed to exist at all the public schools in the city. M. Louis Genari, a lawyer of Nice, I made an excursion toward the Italian frontier, near Bred, taking a camera ■ with him. As nothing was heard of ; him inquiries were made and it lias 1 been ascertained that M. Genari was ! arrested by Italian carabineers, charged -with being a spy. He is imprisoned j at Genoa.

( -s The visitation in Nebraska is the firs|| rain of any consequence that has fallen for six weeks. Suffering Kansas got first wetting in two months Sunday afternoon. lowa received her share of rath at the same time. J In its effect upon the future crops the „ damage wrought by the drought cannot be -< estimated for many days, in the opinion of J experienced observers. On regular culti- „ vated soil, grain n;en declare, the con- « tracted wheat area merely means a larger * corn acreage next year, but this doos not . apply to the vast, acres of prairie ground ' that have never been touched by a plow. , Much of this virgin prairie sod was to / have been turned over this fall in Ne- j ' braska and Kansas, but the drought has ' , made it necessary for this work to be left j • over. To make such land available for । ' next year's use it must be plowed in the 1 , fail and. left to the elements until tiie next • - spring. It is too late now for such work ’ to be carried out to completion. I < One consolation has been found in the , ‘ drought by the stock growers, while the ’ ' farmer has found nothing to compensate • him for the loss of his winter wheat pros- ' pect. The cattlemen declare the pros- * peels for abundant and fine grazing on ■ the ranges have not been so good in years. ‘ The gra>s has been extremely well cured by the protracted dry weather, and this fact is encouraging to the men who count \ their wealth by the head. Their only anxiety has been to supply their cattle with , water sufiieicut to keep them alive. Now that the rain has begun falling their cup of joy is full, as they see the ponds and , creeks and wells once more available. j

BIG MONEY IN BASE-FALIT^^ New A ork and Boston Pocket a Quarter i of a Million of Dollars. “The Boston club will make fully $150,000 this season," said James Mulcahey, who looked after the finances of the St. Louis team during the recent eastern trip. An employe of the Boston management estimated the profits of the club at the above sum in a conversation while the St. Louis team was playing in Beantown. One gatekeeper at Boston said that the average attendance there this .season was the best in the history of the game. Ned Hanlon, the manager of the Baltimores, received 89,000 as his club’s share of the gate receipts for three games at Boston. New York will make at least 8100,900. Like Boston, the attendance in New York has been large from the commencement of the season. New York has the best, paying grand stand in the league. All the Gotham regulars patronize the best seats at the new Polo Grounds. The visiting clubs get none of this rake-off. New York paid St. Louis ^6,500 for six games this season. For one game, on April 29, the St. Louis club received 81,s'id. Baltimore lots made plenty of money, but the 1 me patronage did not keep up consistently. The strong club;; only drew big crowds in Baltimore. They say at Cincinnati that they will clear about SGO,090 on the season. M’ashington will also make big imm.oy. something like $20,000. Philadelphia started off pretty well in the ' sp.ring. but the poor work of the Quakers ■ toward the finish cut the attendance down j to nothing. St. Louis received $3,000 less ; than it did in 1890 for its series in Phila- j delphia. Reach and Rogers will be lucky j to break even on the season, so they’ say ' in Philadelphia. Cleveland’s protits fellj off one-half. In ’95 and ’9O, when they*: were penmint factors. Iho Spiders made I big money on the road. This season then*J was a big slump in their playing speed®,;
