If it doesn't benefit or cure, you have your money back. Isn't it safe to say that no other blood - purifier can be "just, as good?" If it were, wouldn't it be sold so ? Can you think of anything more convincing than the promise that ;is made by the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Ca tarrh Remedy? It is this: "If we can't, cure your Ca tarrh, we'll pay you $500."

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.' Deafness is caused by 'an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

He took such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navigate, but the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured him so quickly that others at the hotel who had bad colds followed his example and half a dozen persons ordered it from the near est drug store. They were profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bad cold so quickly. For Bale byBlakeley & Houghton Drug gists.

I The inhabitants of Stonehaven, Eng., have been not a little excited ol late by the receipt of communications from benevolent Spaniards offering' -tc point ? put the spot where a large amount of buried treasure is to be found. The last of these letters, which is "' signed "Cesar de Cordoba," and dated Barcelona, is . really a remark able "document. ' Cesar offers to re ward the "troubles" of the gentleman addressed-a bailie of Stonehaven with "the third portion of the money hided" on certain conditions. - - To begin with, he must "never make to nobody the least revelation con cerning the secret which I am trusting you." Secondly, "you must come tc Spain to take my, daughter and a re spectable lady, who . ought to ac company her till your country, where my daughter will give you a topo- graphic plane of the spot where the money is hided." The payment ol traveling expenses for the daughter and duenna is insisted upon as a pre liminary, as Cesar is not in a position to carry his philanthropy to such a pitch. In fact, his position seems to be somewhat peculiar, for he adds: "I cannot receive your letters directly be cause I am too watched, you must have the goodness to answer me at the address of a friend of mine whom I fully trust." The writer adds that the treasure amounts to 840,000 pesetas (33,600) in gold money and French bank notes. We cannot honestly say that the offer sounds altogether reassuring. It amounts practically to this: That the speculator has to plant down some 200 on the chance of clearing 11,000, and take a journey into Spain into the bargain. The investment might pos- sibly appeal to those sanguine ama- teurs who plunge into theatrical man- agement. TO TURN BACKS ON ROYALTY. Emperor William Devises a Scheme of Protection Atrainst llomb Throwers. 1 a- fashins m everything, in- eluding the protection of prominent persons when they are on parade. The most recent regulation .concern- , ing the protection of life m Europe, says the New York Sun, is that of Kaiser William. Some time ago there was a good deal of socialistic agitation ia Berlin and it was claimed that the anarchists would attempt to throw a bomb at the emperor as he drove through the city on his way to a re view. The route of the carriage was lined with policemen, and back of them was the customary mob of sight seers on either side of the way. The kaiser gave orders that as the royal coach approached the police, who had heretofore' always stood with their backs to the crowd, so as to salute the celebrities as they passed, should turn their ' backs to the street, face the mob and step back two paces from the front line of the crowd. It was further ordered that the crowd should be kept on the sidewalks, so that the carriage would be at some distance from the line of sightseers on either side. These orders were carried out, and they ap pealed so strongly to the Russian am bassador that he communicated them to St. Petersburg and they have now been adopted by the Russian police. By keeping the crowd well back from the carriage considerable motion was made necessary on the part of an an archist to throw a bomb successfully, and, as the police were numerous, his actions would be seen by one of the guards if those functionaries were at all wide awake. The Russian police, in addition to adopting these measures, absolutely surround the carriage of the emperor with horsemen. HE CHANGED HIS MIND. A Man Who Once Thought He Would Be Brave In a Train Hold-Up. "I used to think that it was a mar velous exhibition of cowardice for a train load of passengers to quietly sub mit to being held up by one or two train robbers, and I used almost to hope for the chance of showing what I would do if the command 'hands up!' should be given on a coach in which I was traveling," said a Louisville drum mer, recently. "The chance came, and my ideas un derwent a rapid change. It was a Little Bock & Fort Smith train. It was near Ozark, I think, when a man appeared at the door and sang out: 'Hold up your hands, everybody!' Be fore I had time to do what I thought I would do two shots were fired almost simultaneously. The first came from the pistol of the conductor, John Kane, of Little Bock, a brave man, who drew and fired the moment he realized w'hat the trouble was. The second shot was fired by the train robber, and Kane fell dead. The brakeman then fired, and a second later he fell with a bullet through his loins, which crippled him for life. Since that experience I think a man is a fool instead of a coward who does not promptly throw up his hands under such circumstances. Pro vided all the passengers were armed, one or two robbers could not fight the whole lot, but as a rule only a few are armed, and even the first man to take hostile action would probably bite the dust. One of the robbers was wounded by either Kane or the brakeman and his companions were captured by the trail of blood. I was happy to attend their hangingat Clarbsville, Ark., a few months later." St. Louis Globe Democrat. A ferocious Bird. The enormous strength of the condor is only -equaled by his voracity and boldness. This immense bird often pounces upon small animals, but, from the shape and bluntness of his claws, he is unable to carry anything very heavy, so he contents himself with fixing it against the; ground with one of his claws, while with the other and his powerful beak he rends it to pieces. Gorged with food, the bird then be comes incapable of flight and may be approached, but any attempt at. cap ture is furiously resisted. . " w- . CHINESE NEWSPAPERS. ' Printed on Bice Paper Without Wasting an Inch of Margin. Lpaid a visit yesterday to the big gest Chinese newspaper in the empire to make inquiries as to the employ ment of a Chinese artist to do some native illustrations for me,' and had ;a most interesting1 talk with the man ager.. The paper is called the Shun Pao, and it is the best-paying1 and most widely circulated of the three native newspaper dailies 01 Shanghai.. It is an eight-pag-e sheet of about the size and shape cf Frank Leslie' s newspaper or Harper's Weekly, says a letter by Frank G. Carpen ter in the latter paper, printed on the thinnest of rice paper. It is so light that it does not weigh more than a man's handkerchief, and so thin that the paper can be printed on one side only. The paper goes to press in big sheets, which are so folded that the blank side is turned inward when taken in hand by the subscriber, and so that there is neither cutting nor pasting. Owing to the thinness of the paper, it has a greasy, yellow appear ance, and it is printed so closely with Chinese type that not an inch of space seems to be wasted. The headline or title of the paper consists of two Chinese characters, taking up a space not wider than one of the columns of our newspapers, and not more than an inch in length. It is a one cent sheet, its price being ten cents cash, but as China is on a silver basis, this should, in our money, now be divided by two, and its price would then be only half a cent. . r THE ARGENTINE GIRL. A Pretty Plctnre of Ueauty in Early Life The Ueauty Gone Before She Is Thirty. " A pen portrait from a foreign corre- spondent of a typical Argentine girl presents a very charming picture. In the bloom of youth, and maturity as well, for she is fully developed at fif- teen, she is beautiful to look upon, with her erect and splendidly propor tioned figure, perfect oval face, hair as ! dark as night, and lustrous eyes shaded . with long, curling lashes. A tinge of daint7pink of a amask rose. And as her red u part b a OTer teeth of that j perfection rarely Khe s a -htot n- wtv. To m,ptl thp n. suous beauty. To complete the en chanting picture she must be clad in some soft, clinging material made in the latest Parisian styles, with here and there a gleam of diamonds, and .a coquettish hat to frame her dainty face. A woman in the highest sense of her peculiar nature, and yet a child with all the vivacity of youth. She capti vates with her beauty, but in mind and soul there is something wanting which physical perfection does not satisfy, and the charm is soon gone,' for at twenty-five, when the American girl is just at her best, the Argentine girl is passee, growing corpulent and -coarse very rapidly as sho approaches middle age. Her habits are indolent,. and she is ad dicted to the use of .rouge and powder to such an extent that her original complexion is entirely concealed. EVEN CHILDREN SMOKED. A Period In English History "When School Boys Carried Their Pipes. Everyone has read that Hawkins in troduced tobacco and that James in veighed against it. Elizabeth liked to sit on a low stool and watch Sir Walter Raleigh puffing away. Once she bet him that he could not tell the weight of the smoke in his pipe, but the phil osopher won. In Anne's reign almost everyone smoked. In, Charles II.'s reign "children were sent to school with their pipes in their satchels, and the schoolmasters called a halt in their studies while they smoked." In 1702, says the Westminster Review, Jorevin spent an evening with his brother at Garraway's coffee house, Leeds, and writes: "I was surprised to see his sickly child of eight years old fill its pipe of tobacco and smoke it as audfarandly as a man of three score; after that, a second and third pipe without the least concern, as it is said to have done above a year ago." There were about four hundred and seventy coffee houses in London, be sides five chocolate houses, in Anne's time. Smoking was general in them, and intoxicants could be also obtained as well as coffee. Bishop Trelawney was much hurt because Bishop Barnett had accused him of getting drunk in one of them on the 30th of January a day of grief to tories and all good churchmen. - INSURANCE ON ROYALTY. PoUcles for Millions Taken Out by Roy alties Dead or Alive. The crowned heads of Europe seem to take a good deal of stock in life in surance. It is announced by the Bos ton Herald that the king of Portugal has just taken out a $200,000 policy on his life, but that is an insignificant in vestment compared with those of some of the other potentates. The late Em peror Frederick of Germany was in sured for 84,000,000. . The queen regent of Spain has her life insured for a large amount, in behalf of her two little daughters, following the example of her husband, whose death mulcted the various companies in which he was in sured for $5,000,000. King Leopold of Belgium's life is heavily insured, as ia also that of Queen Victoria. The queen's husband, the late prince consort, was insured -for close upon $5,000,000, the income of which has been enjoyed by his widow. About the only sovereign in Europe who is not insured is the czar of Russia, the companies regarding him as too unsafe a risk on account of the nihilists. King Asked for Sugar. There is some uncertainty as to the date of the introduction of sugar, but it would appear that it was considered a luxury in 1326, when Henry III. asked the mayor of Winchester to get for him three pounds of Alexandria sugar, if so much could be had, and also some rose and violet colored sugar. Be fore the year 1400, however, it became more plenty, and was sold at what would be equivalent to from thirty seven and one-half to seventy-five cents per pound in American money. SPIDERS' THREADS. Shown by Tests to Be Correspondingly stronger xnan cast iron. Some interesting experiments were made last summer on spiders' threads. A thread having been obtained, one end was carefully fixed with gum to a support, and to the other end small weights were gradually attached till it broke. In order to compare,- from these tests, the strength of the thread with, say, steel thread of the same thickness, it was necessary to deter mine its diameter. This was done by means of a-powerful microscope, and it was found that it would require twenty-five thousand threads to make a sheet one inch broad. "When it is remembered, says Cham bers' Journal, ' that each of these threads is composed of some four thou sand strands the tenuity is seen to be almost inconceivable, as it would re quire one hundred million to make one inch. As a result of these tests it was found, incredible as it may seem, that spiders' thread is, thickness for thickness, actually stronger than cast iron, nearly as strong as copper, gold, platinum, silver, and about one-fifth as strong as steel. It may not be gen erally known that spiders' threads are nsed to support small weights in sev eral delicate scientific instruments, and for this purpose they are much more suitable than any other material.
