MANY A DOLLAR formerly spent on
Sulphur Baths is now saved
by substituting therefore GLENN S
SULPHUR SOAR, which is just as bene-
fetal but infinitely cheaper. Local
diseases of the skin. rheumatism and
and govt are all relieved by this STAN
dard remedy. Complexional blemish-
es are eradicated by it, and it imparts
to the cuticle pearly whiteness and
and velvety softness which greatly
enhance the effect of female charms,
Its soothing, antiphlogistio action con-
stitutes it a prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts. sprains, scalds, bruises,
and in fact every abnormal condition
of the cuticle attended by inf1amma-
ton, swelling or itching. Ladies
moving in our best society speak of its
identifying properties in enthusiastic
terms. and giveit decided preference
to cosmetics which merely conceal but
do not, like GLENN's SULPHUR Soar.
eradicates defects of complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive COM
plants is to be deprecated because of
their having tendency to clog the
pores and i'll some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease. They
arc, besides, seldom thorough enough
in their effects to prevent the recur
renee of eruptions of an inveterate
type, and have the disadvantage of
soiling the linen of persons who use
them. GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, on the
contrary, still further recommends
itself on account of Its cleanliness, It
is besides, an admirable disinfectant
of clothing which has been worn by
persons afflicted with diseases of con
tagious nature. As specific proven
tive and promoter of general health it
presents advantages of the most I'M
equivocal description.

Then he Walked Up.
Quite practical joke has leaked out,
and is floating about town. Our hero was
commercial agent, and the plotters were
q companion and a State street wholesale
merchant in this city. The affair occurred
at the Narragansett House, Providence.
r. /. One Of the agents was blissfully
slumbering 1t was about eight 10 the
morning. and he lay under mosquito bar
His two friends looked in upon him. Fast
in dreamland he was, and they concocted
the plot. A large number of the wire fly
traps in the hotel attracted their attention.
There were millions in it, or rather in
them. The traps were taken up to the
drummer's room and the mosquito bar
was lifted, and the whole army of flies let
| loose upon the slumberer. The attack
was regarded from the half-open door. In
about three minutes the sleeper was awake
and escaping from his couch in horror and
amazement, exclaimed ''Je.e-rusalem |"
the spectators escaping in good season.
The agent was disguised with mosquito
bars, so he said to the hotel clerk. Last
night in particular they were worse than
all the fly traps for catching flies" The
joke leaked ou+, and innumerable smiles
for the boys followed -Neao Hdven Jour
nal and Courier.
A Plan that HIlscarried.
Yesterday afternoon a red-faced young
man belonging to an excursion party called
into drugstore and softly asked the soda
fountain boy if he was out of any particu
lar kind of syrup. The boy made investi-
cation and replied:
I'VE are out of sarsaparilla, but"
'"That's all rigtt-all right-you wait 9
minute, +" interrupted the Young man, and
away he went.
The boy took the empty reservoir from
the fountain and replaced it, and in abou
two minutes the young man returned il
company with his girl and four other PEG
! pie, evidently all friends, Walking up t,
the fountain, he said:

hasn't any sasaparilla wont take moth
ing What do you say?"

The young man began to smile and hi
left eye began to draw down, but to hi
horror the boy drew off six glasses in sue
cession and pushed them in front, wher'
: they were eagerly drained of their content
He tried to give the boy look of mingled
hate and murderous intent, but the la
was too busy to see it. He felt in all hi
pockets brought up keys, pennies
and peanuts. and finally laid down twenty
seven cents. and whispered to the boy:

There's a heap of philosophy in the
question which Washington young lady
of the mature age of six propounded to her
aunt the other day. 1t was after the story
of the Creation and the Fall had been re-

tatiug for some time on tho moral of it,
when she suddenly broke out with:
''Auniy, after Adam and Eve disobeyed
God, why didn't he kill EN- and begin
over again?" 1t is not impossible that
the question has occurred to old err people.

wild Beasts Rendezvous.

When water becomes scarce In those
thirsty plains, the whole Of the wild
animals that inhabit them congregate
around any pool that may be left, for
with very few exceptions all have to
drink once in twenty -four hours. The
lion which follow the game, thus are
led to these drinking places not only
to assuage their thirst, but to satisfy
their hunger. To watch one OF these
pools at night, as I did in the northern
Mascara country, is a grand sight and
one never to be forgotten. The natur-
alist and ths sportsman can here see
sights that will astonish them and
cause them to wonder at the wonderful
instinct possessed by the animal king,
dom. That the Creator has ordered
all things we'll We know, but the min
ute details to which they have been
reduced is seldom noted, except by
those who live not the life OF the busy
trading world, such as wander into
those portions Of the earth undisturbed
by the presence Of man.
At such watering places the small an
telopes invariably drink first, the larger
later on, and with the zebras and but
faloes. After these come the giraffes,
closely followed by the rhinoceros, and
next the elephant, who never attempts
to hide his approach-conscious OF his
strength--but trumpets forth warn
ing to all whom it may concern that ne
is about to satisfy his thirst. The only
animal that does not give place to the
elephant Is the rhinoceros obstinate,
headstropg, and piglike, he may not
court danger, but assuredly he does
not avoid it. The elephant may drink
by his side, but must not interfere with
MIN, for he Is quick to resent an insult,
and | am assured that when one OF
these battles takes place the rhinoceros
is invariably the victor. The elephant
is large, or gigantic power, but the
other is far more active, while the for
midable horn that terminates his nose,
is a dreadful weapon when used with
the force that he has the power to apply
to it.

!. A strange circumstance connected
with the lion is, that it is almost I'M
possible to tell where he is when yor
hear his voice. When roaring loudly
he places his head to the ground, grad
ually raising it as he diminishes thu
power of his voice. Although | canno

in the lon's voice, many other people
do, and have been in the company

the third act is a marvel of artistic
scene painting. Seats now ready.

Chalmers, Of Mississippi; Aiken, of

fame are not on the floor. In fact, they
