GREAT POPULARITY. - DR.. Price 8
Special Flavoring Extracts, Nectarine,

public many years, and have gained for
themselves, on their own merits, an exten-
siye sale. Their great popularity is
mainly due to the scrupulous manner in
which they are prepared, the using of the
purest and best materials, with special
reference to their healthfulness. We never
tire of using them, for they are always the
same. Articles in which they are used
have no disagreeable odor or sickly taste,
but are always enjoyable.

seeking new victims. The arch fiend ap-
pears as sulphuric, yellowish- green de-
mon, with prOtruding horns, clOven feet,
and demOniacM expression, Turing his
victims into his net, and plunging them
into fiery depths. They appear to fall
into a nest Of burning scorpions, where
they are tantalized by glimpse Of their
friends enjoying themselves in a lake Of
cool water. In the next scene, Satan takes
the form Of an immense dragon. with his
human victims crouching In terror ut his
feet. They are mercilessly dragged into
court, and the judge Is represented as
cOndemning them to be tied to rocks ard
to have red-hot lead poured down their
threats. They are then chased by hyenas
through field Of open knives and other
sharp instruments. The victims are next
portrayed as being tortured by having
their limbs sawed of and by being thrown
into a revolving wheel Of fire Satan next
appears to be looking out for new victims
on a field Of battle. Some of these VIC
tins are made to hug red-hot stove pipes,
while Satan himself, with a smile, is fan
ming them. Others are swimming In seas
OF blood, surrounded by laughing demons
Others still are seated In a caldron Of red
hot sulphur, having their tongues pulled
out. Some are represented as carrying
heavy burdens Of coal and throwing ii into
the fire to burn new victims. His Satanic
Majesty is next represented as feeding his
subjects with rice, presumably to give
them strength with which to endure great
