That Impurity of the Blood is the prime cause
of almost every pain or ailment that flesh is heir

Blood Purifier. natural, instructive desire.
The Kidneys are the organs tovshioh the duty
belongs of purifying the Blood. Their failure to
perform this duty causes the Blood to become
vitiated, and gives rise to q host of ailments too
numerous to mention. WIVES DIuRErrc

DISTRIBUTION OF BULLETINE BOARDS A
very fine and grasiusous distribution Of
advertising bulletine boards took place this
forenoon on West Eagle street. Mr.. Lesry
telegraph operator from Davenport had
little speculation on hand in the way of
putting up these boards on the telegraph
poles between this city and Camden. They
had commenced operations and when at
near the gas works the horses frightened at
the locomotive, started to run. The drive
pulled on the reins and broke both bits, and
came around to Eagle street at full speed,
The driver concluded he was on the wrong
train and switched off at the corner. Then
commenced distribution Of the handsome
" painted boards. Further up the street
the wagon was left, and the horses passed
on, narrowly missing little child in front
the Rock Island House corner. Guild was

fall upon the stone pavement, and the other
went into the store to do little stopping.

A lady writer in the GALAXY Nebuloe
defends American ladies against an Eng
lish charge that they are "scraggy," and
that a handsome leg is a rarity. This
the Gola1y writer says is as baseiess as
it is unbearable. And she goes on to say
that though she is ignorant Of the ballot
or professional dancers, she has passion
ate sense of beauty of form, and has TAX
en- advantage of abundant opportunities
afforded by gymnastic classes and singing
schools to study the development of the
lower limbs of her sex. She has seen at
least thousand ladies in the pretty dress
worn for Dio Lewis physical exercises,
which leaves the lower leg more than
half undraped. Now Of these thousand
pairs of natural legs she solemnly declares
that no more than fifty are so meagre
that it would have been kinder to hide
them, and not more than twenty were sc
destitute of good points that (esthetical
ly) they ought to have been annihilated
On this the Tribune says: "These stats
tics are highly interesting, and the pub
lie, we are sure, will read them with {
sense of national pride"
