Diseases of the Blood.

"The Blood is the Life" When this source
is corrupted, the painful and sorrow-produc-
ing effects are visible in many shapes. The
multifarious forms in which it maDifests itself
would form subjects upon which might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms Of dis
ease which depend upon bad blood are cured,
or best treated by such medicines as take up
from this fluid and excrete from the system
the noxious elements, it is not Of practical i'm
pQrtance that l should describe each. For in
stance, medical authors describe about fifty
varieties of skin disease, but they all re-
quire for their cure very similar treatment it
is OF no practical utility to know just what

ease, 30 you know how best to cure it. Then

OF scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swell

appearance might describe how virulent poi

tions, ulcers. sore throat, bony tumors, ETC.;
but as all these various appearing manifesto
tiOns of bad blood are cured by uniform
means l deem such course unneces sary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood which is the
great fountain of life, and good digestion, a
fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and
soundness of constitution, will all return to
us. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden

Historical Items,

The language of France was first in
troduced into England by William l. in
1866. Law pleadings were changed
from French to English in the reign of
Edward I'LL, 1862.
THE hearths of the early Britons were
fixed in the center of their halls. The
fireplace, originally, was perhaps moth
ing more than large stone depressed
below the level of the ground to receive
the ashes.
FUNERAL games are mentioned by
most early writer's. Among the Romans
they consisted of professions and MGR
tai combats of gladiators around the
funeral pile. They We're finally abol-
ishcd by Claudius. A tax was laid on
funerals in England i'll 1893.
DIALs were invented by Anaximander,
$50 b. G.. The first dial of the sun in
Rome was placed on the Temple of
Quirinus by l.. Papirius Curror, when
time was divided into hours. In the
times of the Emperors almost every
palace and public building had sun
dial
HISTORY informs US that the product
of the silk-worm was first utilized in
China 4, 5l5 years ago, through the en-
enlargement of the Empress Si-liug-
Chi, to whom is attributed the invention
of silk stutis. The secret of silk-worm
culture was finally stolen from China,
and ultimately spread all over the globe;
for twenty years, however, the Chinese
kept the secret faithfully; death was
the penalty which any one incurred who
attempted to impart knowledge of it
to any outside nation, and their from
tiers were guarded closely to prevent
the secret from being carried abroad.
The coffin in which the body of Rich
ard Ill. was placed afterward did SER
vice as a korse-trough. During the
battle of Bosworth Field he received
several wounds, each of which would
have proved mortal. His armor was so
broken and his features were so defaced
that he was hardly to be recognized
when dragged from beneath a heap of
slain. The body, perfectly naked, with
a rope round the neck, was flung across
a horse like the carcass of calf, and
was thus carried in triumph to Leices-
ter. 1t was exposed for two days in the
Town Hall, and then buried without
ceremony in the Gray Friar's Church.
At the destruction of the religious
homes the remains were thrown out, and
the coffin, which was of stone, was con-
verted into a watering-trough at the
White Horse Inn,

A Grange Burial-HOw the Order Put
AWAY Their Dead.

The first burial of a member of the
Patrons of Husbandry with the honors
of the Order that has come to our no.
tice, took place yesterday in Kickapoo,
when the remains of Henry Bolin were
consigned to their last resting place with
all the pomp and funeral pageant of the
Granger burial service. Mr. Bolin was
a prominent member, and the attend
ance was very large, some 400 persons
being present. The programme of the
burial was about as follows:
On leaving the residence of the de-
ceased, the hearse which contained the
deceased was thanked on either side by
three pall-bearers, who walked with I'M
covered heads and regalias draped in
mourning. Following the hearse came
the relatives of the deceased, and next
marched the sisters of the Order, clad
in full regalia. The brothers came
next, aud following them the vast con-
course of people, who had come from
far and near to witness the ceremonies
The remains We're first taken to the
church, where priest went through q
service peculiar to the G tholic Church,
of which the deceased was member
When the exercises here had been con-
cluded, the procession took upits march
for the cemetery, where the Granger
funeral rites We're performed. The cof-
fin was placed on supports directly over
the open grave, and remained there till
the Impressive and interesting service
was concluded. q. b. Coffin, Master of
the Franklin Grange, conducted the
ceremonies.
When the brothers and sisters of the
Grange of which the deceased was a
member had assembled about the
grave. the Master read selection from
the burial ritual, followed by second
selection by the Chaplain, and then the
members repeated slowly and solemnly
the Lords prayer, closing with beau
tiful and Appropriate hymn. The
brothers of the order then stepped to
the grave and threw into the opening
several bouquets of flowers and ever
greens. A short but powerful address
was next delivered by the Chaplain.
While the coffin was being lowered II
beautiful and soul-inspiring hymn was
sung, and during The singing the sisters
showered bouquets of flowers upon the
descending coffin until it reached the
wooden box at the bottom of the grave.
The Master then sprinkled portion of
dirt thrown from the grave over the
coffin, and the service closed with the
solemn benediction of the Chaplain.
Taken throughout, the ceremonies
were very beautiful and impressive

Another discovery has recently been
made at Pompeii of skeleton--one
more perfect than yet discovered. 1t is
man, with marked features and re-
markably large cars, position recum-
bent, with only one hand under the
cheek. Travellers who have visited
Pompeii recently will remember the bod
les preserved there in the small mu-
scum near the entrance. They are not
skeletons, but perfect human figures,
displaying in one case, with terrible
truth, the agony of death. They are the
Mother and the Daughter" lying so
near together that they make but one
figure, and fill one glass case. The
features and general appearance of the
"Slave" are so marked that il would
be impossible to think him anything

man, whose lovely hand and arm pro-
claim her gentle birth. These are
painful yet interesting relics of past

An Egyptian Burial.

The King of Masindy, in Upper

his wives being inferred alive with him.
A number of prisoners of war were taken
to the immense grave, their limbs
broken, and their mutilated bodies
flung on the dead King and his wretch

sindy looks forward with complacency
to the time when he, too, will have
similar funeral. it is certainly style

CONE, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
To the afflicted in body, we say q few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you
should ever keep in mind, viz: All dis
ease originates in an impure condition
of the blood. Purify that, and the dis
ease must depart, for it has nothing to
feed on; but You cannot purify tine
blood by the use of poisonous drugs
and exhaustive stimulants the relief
which these afford is temporary and de-
ceptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best BlOOd FWifcr ever
discovered is DIR. WALKERS FAMOUS
VINEGAR BITrEns, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your
case may seem, try the VINEGAR BIT-
TIERS, and a few draughts will convince
you of the virtue. DIR. Walker, the dis
coverer of this priceless remedy, had
been given up to die by the physicians,
and is now sound and healthy man
from their use. 36
