In Early Spring
Many people are troubled with dizziness, dullness, un
pleasant taste in the morning, and That Tired Feeling,
while there may also appear Pimples, Boils, and othej;
manifestations of
Impure Blood
To all such sufferers we earnestly urge a trial of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. No preparation ever received such unani
mous praise for its success as a general Spring Medicine.
It cures scrofula, salt rheum and every other evidence of
impure blood. It overcomes
That Tired Feeling
and gives the whole system strength.
If you decide to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, do not be in-
duced to buy some substitute in its place. Insist on having

‘ Text:
‘ Let the young men now arise
audplay before ms.”—II Samuel, ii., 14.
There are two armies encamped by the
S ol or Gibeon. The time hangs heavily oil
eir hands. One army proposes a game of
fencing. Nothing could be more
healthful and innocent. The other army ac-
fcepts the challenge. Twelve men against
twelve men, the sport opens. But something
went adversely. Perhaps one of the swords
men got an unlucky clip, or in some way had
his ire aroused, and that which opened in
sportfulness ended in violence, each one tak
ing his contestant by the hAir, nnd then with
tb° sword thrusting him in the side, so that
that Which opened in innocent tun ended in
the massacre of all the twenty-four sports
men. Was there ever a better illustration
qf what wai true then, and is true now, that
that which is innocent may be made de
structive?
What of a worldly nature is more im
portant and strengthening and innocent than
amusement, and yet what has counted more
victims? I have no sympathy with a straight-
jacket religion. This is a very bright world
me, and I propose to do alf I can to make
it bright for others.
I never could keep step to a dead march.
A book years ago issued says that a Chris
tian man has a right to some amusements.
For instance, if he comes home at night
weary from his work, and feeling in need of
recreation, puts on his slippers, and goes into
i his garret and walks lively round the floor
several times there cau be no harm in it. I
believe the church of God has made a tre
mendous mistake in trying to suppress the
sportfulness of youth and drive out from
men their love of amusement. If God ever
implanted anything in us he implanted this
desire.
But instead of providing for this demand
of our nature, the church of God has. for the
main part, ignored it. As in a not, the
mayor plants a battery at the end of the
street, and has it fired off so that everything
is cut down that happens to stand in the
range, the good as well as the bad. so there
are men in the church who plant their bat
teries of condemnation and Are away indis
criminately. Everything is condemned.
But my Bible commends those who use the
world without abusing it, and in the natural
world God has done everything to please and
kmuse us. In poetic figures wo sometimes
speak of natural objects as being in pain,
but it is a mere fancy. Poets say the clouds
weep, but they never yet shed a tear; and
the winds sight, but they never did have
any trouble; and that the storm howls, but
it never lost its temper. Tho world is a
rose, and the universe a garland.
I am glad to know that in all our cities
there are plenty of places where we may find
elevated, moral entertainment. But all
honest men and good women will agree with
me in the statement that one of tho worst
. plagues of these cities is corrupt amusement.
I Multitudes have gone down under the blast-
1 ing influence never to rise. If we mav judge
jf what is going on in many of the places of
amusement by tho Sodomic pictures on
board fences and in many of tho show
windows, there is not a much lower depth of
profligacy to reach. At Naples, Italy, they
keep such pictures locked up from indis
criminate inspection. Those pictures were
exhumed from Pompeii and aro not fit for
public gaze. If the effrontery of bad places
of amusement in handing out improper ad
vertisements of what they aro doing night
by night grows worse in the same propor
tion, in fifty years New York and Brooklyn
will beat not only Pompeii, but Sodom.
To help stay the plague now raging I pro
ject certain principles by which you may
judge in regard to any amusement or re
creation, finding out for yourself whether it
is right or whether it is wrong.
1 remark in the first place that you can
judge of the moral character of any amuse
ment by its healthful result or by its baleful
reaction. There are people who seem made
up of hard facts. They area combination of
multi plication tabies and statistics. If you

coloring. If you 5
they will submit it to a botanical analysis,
which is only the post-mortem examination
of a flow cr. They have no rebound in their
nature. They never do anything more than
smile. There are no great tides of feeling
surging up from the depths of their soul in
billow after billow of reverberating laugh
ter. They seem as if nature had built them
by con tract and made a bungling job of it.
But* blessed be God, there are people in the
world who have bright faces, and whose life
is a song, an anthem, a paean of victory.
Even their troubles are like the vines that
crawl up the side of a great tower, on the top
of which tho sunlight sits, and the soft air
cf summer hold perpetual carnival. They
ore the people you like to have come to your
house; they are the people I like to have
come to my house. If you but touch the
hem of their garments you are healed.
Now it is these exhilarant and sympathe
tic and warm hearted people that are most
tempted to pernicious amusements. In pro-
portion as a ship is swift it wants a strong
helmsman; in proportion as a horse is gay,
4 .t wants a stout driver; and these people of
exuberant nature will do well to look at the
reaction of all their amusements. If an
amusement sends you homo at night nervous
so that you cannot sleep, and you rise up in
the morning, not because you aro slept out,
but because your duty drags you from your
slumbers, von have been where von ouerht
not to have been. There are amusements
that send a man next day to his work blood
shot, yawning, stupid, nauseated; and they
are wrong kinds of amusement. They are
entertainments that give a man disgust with
tho drudgery of life, with tools because they
are not swords, with working aprons because
they are not robes, w ith cattle because they
are not infuriated bulls of the arena.
If any amusement sends you home longing
, for a lire of romance and thrilling adventure,
love that takes poison and shoots itself,
moonlight adventures and hair breadth es
capes, you may depend upon it that vou aro
the sacrificed victim of unsanctified pleasure.
Our recreations are intended to build up,
end if they pull us down as to our moral or
as to our physical strength you may come to
the conclusion that they are obnoxious.
There is nothing more depraving than at
tendance ujron amusements that are full of
innuendo and low suggestion. Tho young
man enters. At first he sits far back, with
his hat on nnd his coat collar up, fearful that
somebody there may know him. Several
nights pass on. Ho takes off his hat earlier
and puts his coat collar down. The blush
that first camo into his cheek when anything
indecent was enacted comes no more to hia
cheek. Farewell, young man! You have
probably started on tho long road which
ends in consummate destruction. The
stars of hone will go out one by one,
cntM you will be left in utter darkness, Hear
you r it the rush of tho maelstrom, in whose
or ter circle your boat now dances, making
met ry with the whirling waters? But you
are b*lng drawn in, and tho gentle motion
will ecome terrific agitation. You cry for
help. In vain! You pull at the oar to put
b«ok, but the struggle will not avail! You
wf be t>"V"ed and dashed and shipwrecked
and swallowed in the whirlpool that has al
ready crushed in its wrath ten thousand
hulks.
Young men who have just come from
country residence to city residence will do
well to be on guard and let no one induce
C u to places of improper amusement. It
mightily alluring when a young man-
long a citizen, offers to show a new coiner all
around.
Still further. Those amusements nr * wrong
wh*rh lead you into expenditure beyond your
means. Money spent in recreation is not
thrown away. It is all folly for us t*» come
from a place of amusement feeling licit we
have wasted our money and time. Yen may
by it have made an investment worth more
than the transactions that yielded you Imn-
rlredn or thousands of doll*rs. But how many
properties have been riddled by eostlv
amusements. ,
The Hrst time 1 ever saw the city—it was
the city of Philadelphia—1 was a mere lad. 1
stopped at a hotel, and I remember in the
eventide one of these men plied me with his
infernal art. Ho saw I was green. Ho wanted
to show me the sights of the town. Ho
painted the path of sin uutii it looked like
emerald; but I war. afraid of him. I shoved
back from the basilisk—I made up my mind
he was a basilisk, i remember how ho wheeled
his chair round in front of me, nnd with a
concentrated and diabolical effort nttemntoil
ro destroy my soul; but there were good
angels in the air that night. It was no good
resolution on my part, but it w as the all en
compassing grace of a good God that dcliv-
ered me. Howard beware! ob, young man.
there is a way that seemeth right unto a
man, but the end thereof is death.”
The table has been robbed to my the club
The champagne has cheated the children’s
wardrobe. The carousing party has burned
up th© boy 8 primer. The tablecloth in the
corner aaloon is in debt to the wife’s faded
dress. Excursions that in a day make a tour
around a whole month’s wages; ladies whose
lifetime business it is to “go shopping;”
large bets on horses havo their counterpart
in uneducated children, bankruptcies that
shock the money market and appall the
church, and that send dniukenne. s stagger
ing across tho richly figured carpet of tho
mansion and dashing into tho mirror and
drowning out tho carol of music with tho
whopping of bloated sons come home to
break their old mother’s heart.
I saw a beautiful home, where the bell
rang violently late at night. The son had
been off in sinful indulgences. His com
rades were bringing him home. They car
ried him to the door. They rang the bell at
1 o'clock in the morning. Father and mother
came down. They were waiting for the
wandering son, and then the comrades, as
soon as the door was opened, threw the
prodigal headlong into the doorway, crying:
“There he is, drunk as a fool. Ha, ha!”
When men go into amueements they cannot
afford they first borrow what they cannot
earn and then they steal what they cannot
borrow. First they go into embarrassment
and then into lying and then into theft;
and when a man gets as far on as that he
does not stop short of the penitentiary.
There is not a prison in the land where there
are not victims of unsanctified amusements.
Merchants of Brooklyn or New York, is
there a disarrangement in your accounts?
Is there a leakage in your money drawer?
Did not the last account come out right last
night? I will tell you. There is a young
man irt your store wandering off into baa
n uusements. The .salary you give him may
meet lawful expenditures, but not the sinful
indulgences in which he has entered, and he
takes by theft that which you do not give
him in lawful salary.
How brightly the path of unrestrained
amusement opms. The young man says:
“Now I am off for a good time. Never mind
economy. I’ll get money somehow. What
a fine road! What a beautiful day for a
ride! Crack the whip, and over the turn
pike! Come, boys, fill high your glasses.
Drink! Longlife, health, plenty of rides just
like this! Hard working men hear the clat
ter of the hoofs and look up and say: “Why,
1 wonder where those fellows get their
money from? We havo to toil and drudge.
They do nothing.” To these gay men life
is a thrill and an excitement. Thev stare at
other people, and in turn aro stared at. The
watch chain jingles. Tho cup foams.
Tho cheeks flush. Their eyes flash.
Tho midnight hears their guffaw.
They swagger. They jostle decent men
off the sidewalk. They take the name
of God in vain. They parody the hymn they
learned at their mother’s knee; and to all
pictures of coming disaster they cry out,
“Who cares!” and to the counsel ot some
Christian friend, “Who aro you?”
Passing along the street some night you
hear a shriek in a grog shop, the rattle of
the watchman’s club, the rush of the police.
What is the matter now? Oh, this reckless
young man has been killed in a grog shop
light. Carry him home to his fathers house.
Parents will come down and wash his
wounds and close his eyes in death. They
forgive him all he ever did, although he can
not in his silence ask it. The prodigal has
got home at last. Mother will go to her
little garden and get the sweetest flowers,
and twist them into a chaplet for the silent
heart of the wayward boy, and push back
from the bloated brow the long locks that
were once her pride, and the air will bo rent
with the agony. The great dramatist says:
“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to
have a thanlcless child.”
I go further, and Stay these aro unchristian
amusements which become the chief business
of a man’s life. Life is an earnest thing.
Whether wo were born in a palace or hovel,
whether we are affluent or pinched, we havo
to work. If you do not sweat with toil, you
will sweat with disease. You have a soul
that is to bo transfigured amid the pomp of
a judgment day; and after the sea has sung
its last chant and tho mountain shall have
come down in an avalanche of a rock, you
will live and think and act, high on a throne
where seraphs sing, or deep in a dungeon
where demons howl. In a world where there
is so much to do for yourselves, and so much
to do for others, God pity that man who has
nothing to do.
Your sports aro merely means to au ond.
They are alleviations and helps. The arm of
toil is the only arm strong enough to bring
up the bucket out of the deep well of pleas
ure. Amusement is only the bower where
business and philanthropy rest while on their
way to stirring achievements. Amusements
are merely the vines that grow about tha
anvil of toil and the blossoming of the ham
mers. Alas for the man who spends his life
in laboriously doing nothing, his days in
hunting up lounging places and loungers,
his nights in seeking out some gas lighted
foolery 1 The man who always has on his
sporting jacket, ready to hunt for game in
the mountain or fish in the brook, with no
time to pray or work or read, is not so wel?
off as the greyhound that runs by his side, or
the fly bait with which ho whins the stream.
A man who does not work does not know
how to play. If God had intended us to do
nothing but laugh He would not have given
us shoulders with which to lift, and hands
with which to work, and brains with which
to think. The amusements of life are mere
ly the orchestra playing while the groat
tragedy of life plunges through its five acta
—infancy, childhood, manhood, old age and
death, 'i'hen exit tho last earthly opportun
ity. Enter tho overwhelming realities of an
eternal world!
I go further, and say that all those amuses
ments are wrong which lead Into bad com«'
pany. If you go to any place where you
have to associate with tho intemperate, with
the unclean, with the abandoned, however
well they may bo dressed, in the name of
God quit it. They will despoil your nature.
They will undermine your moral character.
They will drop you when you are destroyed.
They will give not one cent to support your
children when you are dead. They will weep
not one tear at vour burial. They wifi
chuckle over your damnation.
I had a friend at the west—a rare friend.
He was one of the first to welcome mo to his
new home. To fine personal appearance he
added a generosity, frankness and ardor of
ip i
gambling hells. They plied him with a thou
sand arts. They seized upon his social na
ture, and he could not stand the charm.
They drove him on the rocks, like a ship full
winded, shivering on tho breakers. 1 used
to admonish him. I would say, “Now I
wish you would quit these bad habits aud
become a Christian.” “Oh,” he would reply,
“I would like to. I would like to, but I have
gone so far I don’t think there is any way
back.” In his moments of repentance he
would go home and take his little girl of
eight years, aud embrace her convulsively,
and cover her with adornments and strew
around her pictures and toys and every thing
that could make her happy; and then, as
though hounded by an evil spirit, lie would
go out to the enflaming cup and the house of
shame, like a fool to the correction of the
•tceks.
' was summoned to his deathbed. I
hastened. I entered the room. I found him.
to my surprise, lying in full every day dress
on the top of the clothes. I put out my ban.’.
He grasped it excitedly and said, “Sit down,
Mr. Taira age, right here.” I >%i clown. He
said: “Last night I saw my mother, who has
been dead twenty Teal's, and she sat just
where you sit now. It was no dream. 1 was
wideawake. There was no delusion in the
matter. I saw her just as plainly as ! see
you. Wife, I wish you would take thosa
strings off of me. There are strings spun
all around my body. I wish you would
take them off of me.” 1 saw it was de
lirium.
“Oh,” replied his wife, “my dear, there is
nothing there, there is nothing there.” Ho
went on, and said: “Just where you sit,Mr.
Talmago, my mother sat. She said: ‘Henry,
I do wish you would do better.’ I got out of
bed, put my anu s around her, and said,
'Mother, I want to do better. I havo lieeti
trying to do better. Won’t you help me to
do better? You used to help me.’ No mis
take about it. No delusion. I saw her—the
cap. and the apron, nnd the spectacles, just
as she used to look twenty years ago; but [
do wish you would take these things away.
They annoy me so. I cau hardly talk.
Won’t you take them away?” I knelt down
and prayed, conscious of the fact that ho did
not realize what I was saying. I got up. I
said, “Good-by; I hope your will bo better
soon.” He said, “Good-by, good-by.”
That night his soul went to the God who
gave it. Arrangements were made for the
obseouies. Some said, “Don’t bring him in
the church; he was too divolute.” “Oh,” I
said, “bring him. Ho was ii good friend
of mine while he was alive, and 1 shall stand
by him now that he is dead. Bring him to
the church.”
As I sat in the pulpit and saw his body
coming up through the aisle I fe t as if I
could weep tears of blood. I told the people
that day: “This man had his virtues, and a
good many of thoin. Ho hud his faults, and
a good many of them, hut if thereisany man
in this audience who is without sin let him
cast the Hrst stone at this coffin lid." < In one
side the pulpit sat that little child, rosy,
sweet faced, as beautiful as any little child
that sat at your table this morning,
I warrant you. Phe looked up wist
fully, not knowing tho full sorrows
of an orphan child. Oh, her coun
tenance haunt, me to-day like some sweet
face looking upon us through a horrid dream.
On the other side of the pulpit were the men
v/bo had destroyed him. There they ear
hard vlsaged, some of them pale from e*I
hausting disease, some of them flushed until
it seemed as if the fires of iuiquity flamed
through the cheeks and crackled the lips.
They were the men who had done the work.
They were the men who had bound him hand
and foot. They had kindled the fires. They
had poured the wormwood and gall into that
orphan’s cup. Did they weep? No. Did
thiysigh repenMngly? No. Did they my:
‘Whata pity that such a bravo man should
be slain?’ No, no: not one bloated hand was
hffced to wipe a tear from a bloated olieolr.
They sat ami looked at the coffin liknuil-
tures gazing at the carcass of a lamb whoso
heart they had ripped out I I cried in their
tars as plainly a* J could: “There is a God
and a judgment day!” Did they tremble?
Ob, no, no. They went back from the houso ,
of God, and that night, though their victim
lay in Oakwood Cemetery, T was told that
they blasphemed, and they drank, and they
gambled, and there was not one less
customer in all the houses of iniquity. This
destroyed man was a Samson iri physical
strength, but Delilah sheared him, and the
Philistines of evil companionship dug hia
eyes out and threw him into the prison of
evil habits. But in the hour of his death he
rose up and took hold of the two pillared
curses of God against drunkenness and un-
cleanness, and threw himself forward, until
* down upon him and his companions there
came the thunders of an eternal catastrophe.
Again, imy amusement that give# you a
distaste for domestic life is bad. How many
bright domestic circles have been broken up
by sinful amusements! The father went off,
the mother went off, the child went off.
There are to-day the fragments before me of
blasted households. Oh. if you have wan
dered away, I would like to ebarm you back
by the sound of that one word, “home.” Do
you not know that you have but little more
time to give to domestic welfare? Do you
not see, father, that your children are soon
to go out into the world, aud all the influence
for good you are to have over them you must
have now? Death will break in on your con
jugal relations, and, alas! if you have to
stand over the grave of one who perished
from your neglect!
I saw a wayward husband standing at the
deathbed of his Christian wife, and 1 saw her
poirft to a ring on her finger, and heard her
say to her husband, “Do you see that ring?”
He replied, “Yes, 1 see it.” “Well,” said
she, “do you remember who pub it there?”
“Yes,’’ said he, “I put it there,” and all tho
past seemed to rush upon him. By the mem
ory of that day when, in the presence of men
and angels, you promised to be f aithful in
toy and sorrow, and msicknes&und in health;
by the memory of those pleasant hours when
you sat together in your new home talking
of a bright future; by the cradle and tho
jo} ful hour when our life was spared and
another given; by that sick bed, when the
little one lifted up the voice and called for
help, and you knew he must die, he put one
arm r.round each of your necks and brought
you very near together in that dying kiss; by
the little grave in Greenwood that you never
think of without a rush of tears; by tho
family Bible, where, amidst stones of
heavenly love, is the brief but expressive
record of births and deaths; by the neglects
of the past aud by the agonies of tho future;
by a judgment day, when husbands and
wives, parents and children, in immortal
group 3 , will stand to be caught up in shining
array or to shrink down into darkness; by
all that, I beg you to give to home your best
affections.
Ah, my friends, there is an hour coming
when our past life will probably pass before
Us in review. It will be our last hour. If
from our death pillow we have to look back
and see a life spent in sinful amusement
there will be a dart that will strike through
our soul .sharper than the dagger with which
Virginius slew his child. The iniquities and
rioting through which we have passed will
come upon us, weird aud skeleton ns Aleg
Merrilies. Death, the old Shylo?k, will de
mand and take the remaining pound of
flesh, and the remaining drop of blood, and
upon our last opportunity for repentance,
and our lust chance for heaven tho curtain
will forever drop.

Tho Invention of Spectacles.
Old Roger Bacon is generally ac
credited with the invention of spectacles,
at least of tho pattern now used by per
sons of failing or defective eyesight. It
seems to he more than likely that iris
work in this direction, as early as 1292,
originated the custom of wearing glasses,
at least in the western nations. Ailess-
andro de Spino, a monk of Pisa, has also
been credited with the same discovery,
but his pretensions—or rather those of
his adherents, for he has never been
heard to say a word on the subject him.
self—are disputed by students who think
Salvinus Armutus was the real father of
the spectacle. But as both these bene
factors flourished later than Bacon, aud
as he is knowu to have mentioned the
work, they are probably much in the
position of the gentleman who invented
the telephone after another had shown
them the way. — Chicago Herald.

Princess Bismarck.
The wife of Prince Bismarck has been
rarely mentioned in the chronicles of the
German Court because she seeks to
avoid anything like publicity, but for all
that she has been of great assistance to
the man whose name is so closely linked
with the progress of the fatherland in
the last thirty years or more. The Prin
cess is a member of a distinguished Ger
man family. She married when her
husband was little known. She has al
ways been a believer in the greatness of
her spouse, and has devoted herself to
making his home life as peaceful as his
public career has been full of acrimony.
Her tact has had much to do with smooth

troversy. It is said of Princess Bismarck
that sho is happier, now that she and
her husband are permitted to live quietly
upon their estates, than she has been at
any time since the King of Prussia made
her husband his ministerial representa
tive. In this connection the story is
told that once, in company, Princess
Bismarck expressed a longing for tho
life of n plain German gentleman’s wife,
when the Prince said, in n manner at
once grave and gay: “That time will
come, my dear, when, grown old, the
nation will have no more use for us.”
If there is regret in the Bismarck mansion
that the day of retirement has arrived it
is not harbored by the wife.—'Chicago

About Glass Eyes.
“Good glass eyes come high,” said an
occulist recently.
“Cost a big price, do they!”
“Yes, the good ones do.”
“Tlicn there is a good deal of differ
ence?”
“Oh, yes. They range all the way
from fifty cents to §50.”
“Is there such a big demand for
them!”
“Larger than most people suppose.
The fact is that many people get along
so well with a glass eye that not one per
son in ten suspects the fact.”
“Some of our friends may bo wearing
one of these solid visual organs and wo
do not it?”
“Precisely. I’ll bet that several peo
ple in this city with whom you aro ac
quainted are wearing glass eyes and tho
fact has always escaped your attention.”
"Tell mo something about tho busi
ness, doctor.”
“In the first place the greater share of
glass eyes, so jailed, are not glass. The
best quality of artificial eyes is manufac
tured iu America by a process which is
kept absolutely secret. These are the
lightest nnd best and will last longer.
The Germans also make a fine artificial
eye. The best eyes are made of stone.
The German article is cheaper than the
American. The vcining in the foreign
eye is not so well marked.”
“What makes the trade profitable?”
“I’ll tell you. One-eyed men are
likely to bo rather scarce, and one would
think that having once stocked up they
would buy no more. But this is not the
case. An artificial eye gets to be a nuis
ance after it has been on duty for two or
three months. Another one has to be
purchased. This explains the reason for
the lively trade in these articles. There’ll
always be a trade in them, and a good
one, too.”
“How is it we don’t notice a glass eyi
in some men?”
“Because they know enough to keep
still about the matter aud wear the best
eyes obtainable. In this way, if you no
tice anything at all peculiar about theii
optics you imagine they save a squint or
are cross-eyed.”—Buffalo (N. Y.) Heim.
The Peach.
The cultivated peach is supposed to
have descended from a small native tree
of Persia, or at least South-Central Asia,
bearing an acrid,poisonous fruit, scarcely,
if ever eatable.
The almond is considered a selected
off-shoot from the peach, and both bred
from time immemorial, the peach in the
line of its goodness of pulp, aud tho
almond in the line of goodness of its ker
nel or seed, for food or luxuries for
man.
Tho peach has been selected from seed
lings, since long before tho dawn of
man’s history, in the line of its delicious
pulp, or, as we call it, its fruit alone,
without any reference whatever to the
health, vigor or hardiness of the trees.
This breeding constantly in one line alone
has resulted in the whole race or stock
becoming enfeebled aud diseased. This
feebleness nnd liability of tree, foliage
and tree to diseases, such as the yellows,
rot of the fruit, curl of the leaf and the
inability to withstand cold and climatic
changes, seems to increase, rendering
this the easiest of all the fruits for the
pioneers of this country to grow, the
hardest now to fruit_succtssfully.—Farm
and Fire Side.
Astounding Bridge Statistics.
As some curiosity lias been expressed
as to the quantity of paints and oils used
in the construction of the Forth Bridge
in Scotland, the officials of the company
requested Messrs. Craig and Rose, ot
Loudon and Glasgow, who held the con
tract throughout, to in ike up a statement
of the amount actually supplied, aud
these were found to be as follows: Ma
chinery and illuminating oil, 980.072
gallons; paint oils, 85,527gallons; paint,
250 tons. It is computed that the quan
tity of oil used would have been suffi
cient to float one of Her Majesty’s first-
class cruisers, and sufficient paint to
cover 1100 acres or nearly two square
miles of surface.—Button 1’rantcrijit.
Railroading In tin- Himalayas.
“The magnificent scenery in the Grand
Cnuon in Colorado is nothing wiien com
pared with tire view from a railroad
coach when passing over tho Himalaya
Mountains,” said Colonel Tanner, of Cal-
: cutla, lo a Chicago Tribune reporter, tho
other day. “The Bolon railway runa
over the lliinalaya Mountains 7000 feet
above tho sea level, winds in aud out of
gorges und passes over bridges spanning
streams flowing 4000 feet below. The
sight is enough to turn a man's hair gray.
But accidents there are not frequent.
The road-bed is the best iu tho world,
and the engineering work is a marvel.”
M. Dorn on has laid a wager that lo

frontier to Paris, France, in thirty days

A small quantity of prevention is worth many pounds
of cure. If your blood is in good condition the liability
to any disease is much reduced and the ability to resist
its wasting influence is tenfold greater. Look then to
your blood, by taking Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) every
few months. It is harmless in its effects to the most
delicate infant, yet it cleanses the blood of all poisons
and builds up the general health.
