Any one predisposed to Scrofula can never be healthy and vigorous. This taint in the blood naturally drifts into Consumption. Being such a deep-seated blood disease, Swift's Specific is the only known cure for Scrofula, because it is the only remedy which can reach the disease. Scrofula appeared on the head of my little grandchild when only 18 months old. Shortly after breaking out it spread rapidly all over her body. The scabs on the sores would peel pft on the slightest touch, and the odor that would arise maae me fnosphere of the room (tokening and unbearable. The disease next attacked the eyes, and we feared she would lose her sight. Em inent physicians from the furrounding country were consulted, out could do nothing to relieve the lit- J tie innocent, and gave It 5 as their opinion that the ' ? " ' ry case was hopeless and im-- '' possible to save the child's eyesight. It was then that we decided to try Swift's Specific That medicine at once made a speedy and com plete cure. She is now a young lady, and has never had a sign of the disease to return. Mas. Ruth Berkeley, Salina, Kan. Scrofula is an obstinate blood disease, and is beyond the reach of the average blood medicine. Swift's Specific Tor RlnnYl oThe. U1UUU is the only remedy equal to such deep seated diseases; it goes down to the very foundation and forces out every taint. It is purely vegetable, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no mercury, potash or other mineral substance whatever.

A lively and venerable goose struts around the yard of John Guiss, in Craw ford county, O. It was brought from Germany by John's father, Abraham Guiss, in 1839, and is nearly 60 years old. Last spring it raised four goslings. Mats are spread under the houses of the better class in the Philippines, to excludes dampness, and are daily re moved and dried in the sun. Nearly all the living and sleeping-rooms are about six feet above the ground, with an open space underneath. The postmastership of Pembroke, Me., is said to have been held by one family longer than that of any other, town in the country. William Kilby was appointed to the office in 1800, and his direct descendants have handled the mails of the little village ever since his retirement in 1840. Big sweet potato crops have lately been the rule in Georgia. The reason has just been discovered. The negroes have learned to extract an intoxicant from the potatoes. They are half boiled, mashed and-allowed to ferment. In this way is produced a sort of whisky which makes the colored man uproari ously jolly. , ' - Fred Erickson was attending an en gine in the Kansas City pumping sta tion when his hand was caught in the driving wheel and his arm torn off. Wil liam Henderson tried to show how the accident happened, and his hand was caught in the same way, and his arm torn off. Both men were hurried to the hospital, side by side, in the same am bulance. - " GROWING OLD. "That Incurable Dineaie" la Bound to Come Upon Ua, Fight It How We May. The fashionable women of to-day will not grow old no, not if they die for.it, which many of them do, poor things. Their waists must be as slim, their manners as vivacious and their attire as up-to-date as if they were 25 instead of well, let us say 50, although 60 might be nearer the mark. Xo gray hair for them no worn-looking eyes. They touch up the former with one of the many restoratives, which art- "not dyes, you know, only tonics," and as "blessings brighten, as they take their flight," so do their rapidly thinning locks become more and more golden or bronze, until they are finally hidden un der a red or yellow wig. The eyes which have been dimmed and aged by the tears they have shed and the things they have seen, are touched up with a pencil and brightened with belladonna, and faded and wrinkled skinsare ironed out, whitened and painted so that by candle light and at a proper distance they look comparatively youthful (to their owners), while, as long as gout and rheumatism will allow, they hop and skip to dance music with the rest. Undoubtedly it is hard to grow old; the spirit remains young much longer than the body; the same things inter est and amuse at 60 that were enjoyed at 25. It is hard while the mind is still bright and vigorous, and so well fitted to use the accumulated store of experi ence and knowledge which it has been gathering through life, that we should be attacked by that "incurable disease." as Seneca calls it, and that our limbs should fail and beauty flee when we ourselves feel the same. So, in these latter days, we have elect ed not to grow old, and it is distinctly unfashionable to dress or act as if the accumulated years were a burden to bear. Up to the very end men and women are expected to dress and to act as if they were as young as ever, and, like the thoroughbred horse, to go until they drop. N. Y. Tribine. Hla MatUema-tlcal Limit.
