General Debility.
A few weeks since, we began to give
her Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Her health has
greatly improved." Mrs. Harriet H.
Battles, South Chelmsford, Mass.
"About a year ago I began using Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla as a remedy for debility
and neuralgia resulting from malarial
exposure in the army. I was in a very
bad condition, but six bottles of the Sar
saparilla, with occasional doses of Ayer'a
Pills, have greatly improved my health.
I nm now able to work, and feel that I

JOHNSTOWFS DBEADPUL SCENES
The Unfortunate Victims of the Flood.
Johjotowx, Pa., Jane 2. Johns
town is the most complete wreck that
the imagination can portray. Prob
ably 1,500 houses have been swept
away from the face of the earth as
completely as if they had never been
erected. Main street from end to end
ia piled 15 to 20 feet high with debria
and in some instances it is piled as
high as the roofs of the houses. This
great mass of wreckage fills the street
from curb to curb and frequently has
crashed the fronts of bnildings in
and filled the space with reminders of
the terrible calamity.
From the wooden millabove the
island to the bridge, a distance of
probably two miles, a strip of terri
tory nearly halt a mile in width has
been swept clean, not a stick of tim
ber or one brick on top of another
being left to tell the story. All day
long men, women and children were
plodding about the desolate waste,
trying in vain to locate the boundar
ies of their former homes. Nothing
bnt a wide expanse ot mad, orna
mented here and there with heap3 of
drift wood, was remaining, however,
for their contemplation.
These losses, however, are as noth
ing compared to the frightful B&crifico
ot precious human lives to be seen on
every hand. During all this solemn
Sunday Johnstown is being drenched
with tears ot stricken mortals, and
the air is filled with sobs and sighs
that come from breaking hearts.
There are scenes acted here every
hoar and every minute that affect all
beholders profoundly.
An utterly wretched woman named
Mrs. Fenn stood by a muddy pool of
water, trying to find somo trace of a
once happy; home. She was halt
crazed with grief, and her, eyes were
red and swollen. ' As the writer step
ped to her side she raised her pale
and haggard face and remarked,
"They are all gone. Oh, God be mer
ciful to them. My husband and my
seven dear little children have been
sweDt down with the flood, and I am
left alone. We were driven by the
raging flood into the garret, bnt tno
water followed us there. Inoh by
inch it keDt rising until our heads
were crushed against the roof. It
was death to remain, so l raised tne
window and plaoed my darlings on
some driftwood, trusting to the great
Creator. As I liberated the 'last one,
my sweet little boy, he looked at me
and said: 'Mamma, you. always told
mo that the Lord would care
for me; will ho look after me
nowr 1 saw mm unit away, witu nis
loving face turned toward me, and
with a prayer on my lips for his deliv
erance he passed from my sight for
ever. The next moment the roof
crashed in and I floated outside, to
be rescued fifteen hours later nenr
the root of ahonse in Mornville. If
I could only find one of my darlings
I could bow to the will of God, but
they are all gone. I have lost every
thing on earth now but my life."
A handsome woman walked through
tho depot where a dozen or more
bodies were awaitingburial. Passing
from one to another, she finally lifted
a paper dowering from the face of n
woinan, young, and with traces ot
beauty, showing through tho stains
ot muddy water. With a cry of
anguish she reeled backward to be
caught by a man who chanced to be
passing. In a moment or so she had
calmed herself sufficiently to take
one more look at the features of her
dead. She stood gazing at the un
fortunate as if struck dumb. The
dead woman was a sister of the
mourner. The body was placed in a
coffin a tew minutes later and sent
away to its narrow house.
These incidents are fair examples
of scenes similiar to every turn in
this stricken city. The loss ot lite is
simply dreadful. The most conser
vative people declare that the num
ber will reach 5,000.
An onnce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure. Pfnnder's Or.
egon Blood Purifier expels all impuri
ties of the blood and should be used
in all diseases of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Take it.
Such a thing as bringing a libel
snit against a newspaper has not
been known in Italy for fifty years.
The belief is that a newspaper seeks
to tell the truth. It it is mistaken a
frank statement to that effect satisfies
the Italian.
That taint of scrofula in your blood
can be wholly eradicated by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
The rmst winter in Iceland has
been unusually severe. When the
nrst post snip ot tne season broke
through the ice floes and reached
Beajkjavik the first question asked by
the natives was whether Prince Bis
marck was still alive.
A CHILD KILLED.
Another child killed by the use of
opiates given in the torn of Soothing
syrup". Why mother give their children
such deadly poison is surprising when
they can rcleave the child ot its peculiar
troubles by using Acker's Baby soother.
It contains no Opium or Morphine.

A Change of Weapon.
Last winter I climbed Lookout
mountain in company with a veteran
of the late war, write's O. O. Teale to
the Editor's Drawer of Harper's
Magazine for June. It was his first
visit eince the day of the memorable
assault, and as we climbed he foaght
the battle over again for my benefit.
As the conflict waxed hotter he grew
excited, and on our arrival at the
hotel near the summit was at fever
heat. We then passed on through
the narrow defile which leads to the
pinnacle, where we were confronted by
a diminutive specimen of tho genus
"cracker," with these words : "It you
gentlemen wish to go to the top
you must pay 25 cents." This was
too much for the pent-up feelings of
my war-like companion, who, trag
ically waving his strong right arm,
shouted, "I won't pay it. Twenty-five
years ago I came up here with a
sword in my hand." Bat the modern
Leonidas, moving not otherwise than
to show a deputy sheriffs badge,
quietly remarked: "Well, sab, you
must come up with a quarter to-day."
The money was paid.
A man at Port Huron, Michigan,
who has sold the city seventeen acres

Brooklyn's memorial arch is to be
