Marvelous. Effects System Broken Down and Hope Al most Abandoned -Health Re stored by Hood's Sarsaparllla. " For fifteen years I have suffered w ith catarrh and indigestion and my whole system was broken down. I had almost abandoned any hope of recovery. I pur chased six bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and its effects have been marvelous. It has made me feel like a new man. I am able to sleep well, have good appetite, and I have gained several pounds in weight." James Wilder, Oroville, Wash. I had a scrofula swelling on one side ot my neck and ulcerated sores in my nostrils, caused by catarrh. I also had small, itching sores on my limbs. I bought three bottles of Hood's Sarsapa rilla and began taking It and the sores soon healed. My blood is purified, and the scrofula has disappeared." O. D. McManub, Mission, Washington.

Tbey Compel V to Uullove Almost Any thing ronlblc. People are now familiar with the idea of storicgruphound for future use so that a man's voice can be heard luuiraf iit he is dead. It has recently been suggested that sorrewhere in the storehouse of nature the sifjht of nil that lias taken place is stored up, nnd that Moses pot his account of the creation from a kind of kinetoscope which was disclosed ta him as he stood in the cleft of the roclc and saw the pictures of the precession of events pass by. A3 Dr.Johnscn said, we have seen so muvh that we arc pre pared to believe more. When people in New York city can hear t'y roar of Niagara, when machinery can be driven by a water wheel 50 i miles distant, when wc can sec through boards and take pho tographs of a fat man's bones and the money in his pockets, when wc can talk with our friends a thousand miles away and recognize the tones of their voices, when we can warm the baby's milk at night by touching a button, we must be obstinate, indeed, if wc refuse to believe anything. There is nothing in the "Arabian Nights" as marvelous as tbe things seen at the electriccl exposi tion in New York. And yet, says the Baltimore Sun, if we apply the logic of David Hume in his essays cn the mir acles ta these things, wc should refuse tc believe that a photograph of a living man's skeleton may be takes. Hume re fused to credit the miracles because tbey are contrary to all human experi ence. It is a matter of curious speculation,- have we reached the Trait of knowledge of electricity, or are we upon the threshold of scientific revelations? Will we in time discover that apartment of nature's storehouse where she keeps tne signts and sounds of past ages? STOCKMEN, FARMERS, EVERYBODY ! ir.iONY.

A Schilling ft Cnmptny ban rnutcisco Crowning an Ethiopian Emporor One Un- o:iu.ilod in Burbarlo Splondor. The coronation of the empeiors of Ethiopia at Axouni, the holy city of Abyssinia, is a ceremony uncnualcd in barbaric splendor in nil Africa. It even touches the imagination of the white man, says the Pall Mull Gazette, ano arouses his black bvother to delirious enthusiasm. The sacred person of the emperor, in great pomp, clothed in royal purple silk, with a gold cross in his band, proceeds, on a horse with trappings of indescribable richness, to the church, followed by the dignitaries nnd aristocracy of the empire, also clothed in all the richness and bright colors of the east. Arrived before the sacred cliliee, on descending be finds many young girls, dressed in white, who pi event his entrance by Lands of scarlet ribbon, and who cry : "Who arc you that wish to enter the Church of Axoum'?" "I am your emperor, the rtegus neghesti (Idng of king") of Ethiopia." "No, you are not our em peror, you are not the negus neglirsli, nnd three times they lower nnd raise the ribbon. On the fouith the negus cuts iJ. with his sword, crying: "I am the king of Siou," i:i the midst of tre mendous ne "h'.niatiouh. Coiu!ueUd to the center of the edifice, to the sacred stone, which is only stepped over by t he emperor, and by him once, the nbiinn (Abyssinian i on i IT) advances am'd brea'.hle-s silence, gives iir.etion, eonsc crale3 lrni, nnd he takes the Holrnm oath. Then, to the lu'comynninent, of music, rii'g'ng of bells and d:iw:!!!f. h" rceeiws the imperial diadem.
