Purify the Blood Now!

1t is not claimed that BROWNS
SARSAPARILLA and Dandelion,
with lodide of Potassium, will cure
every disease, but it has been proven
in a thousand cases that no other REM
edy can compare with it in curing
Scrofula, Tumors, Kidney Diseases
Ulcers, rheumatism, Cancers, Dys-
pepsia. Fever Sores, Syphilitic
Diseases, Boils, Constipation, Erysip-
elias, Sick Headache, Salt kbeum.
Why is Browns Sarsaparilla best for
curing these diseases? Because it
puriies the blood, corrects the inaction
of the Liver and Kidneys, and cures
constipation and dyspepsia by giving
tone to the stomach SO that all food is
readily digested. Use only the best
medicines. DR.. Brock, Bellevue, A.

Tarring q Rat.

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they dislike tar more, perhaps,
than anything else, for if it once gets
on their jackets, they find it most diff
ficult to remove it. Now, l had
heard it mentioned that pouring tar
down at the entrance of their holes
was a good remedy, also placing
broken pieces by their holes was
another remedy. But these remedies
are not effective. The rats may leave
their old holes and make fresh ones in
pther parts of the house; they don't
leave the premises for good. |
though | would try another expert
ment-one ] had not heard of before.
One evening | set large wre-cage
rat-trsp, attaching inside a most Sc
ductive piece of strongly smelling
cheese, and next morning | found, to
my satisfaction. that | had succeeded
in trapping very large rat, one of
the largest ! had ever seen, which,
after | had besiheared him with tar, |
let loose in his favorite run. The
next night l tried again, and succeed
ed in catching another equally big
fellow, and served him in the same
manner. | could not follow those
two tar-besmeared rats into their num-
erous runs to see what would happen;
but i: is reasonable to assume that
they either summoned together all the
members of their community, and by
their crestfallen appearance gave their
comrades silent indications of the mis-
fortune which had so suddenly be-
fallen them; or that they frightened
their brethren away, for they one and
all forsook the place and fed. The
experiment was eminentlv successful.
From that day in 1879 till now, 1888,
my house, ancient though it is, has
been entirely free from rats; and | be-
lieve that there is no remedy equal to
this one, il you can catch your rat
alive. They never come back to the
house again.

THE YIELD OF OUR MINES IN 1882

The Bodie Free Press is either mis-.
taken or purposely misstates the facts
when it places the yield of Alturas
county in 1882 at less than 81 900, 900.
The yield of the Wood River and
Sawtooth region alone, in 1882, ex-
ceeded $2,5OO,OOO. And this, al
though the country was only on a
prospecting basis and the ore and the
supplies had to be hauled from $50 to
200 miles to or from railroad. This
year the yield will not be much
greater, because the railroad-the
completion of which was awaited bv
all ore producers to resume shipping
was not completed until some time in
June; and, even then, the rates of
freight were SO high that for the en-.
suing two months none but the very
richest ores was shipped. But it will
be all of s3,OOO,OOO, nevertheless.

Chesterfield Church's Crooked Stcenle.

chesterfield Church's Crooked Steeple.
LondoA Newsl
This steeple has created more fun
than any of Gilbert and Sullivan's
operas. 1t has been likened to the
uplifted tail of the Dragon of Want
ley, to a corkscrew, to the Leaning
Tower of Pisa, and to a man perpet,
ually tipsy, while one writer asser ts
that it sticks "with mock
gravity air on the church tower, look
ing as comical as a jester on an arch
bishops back" There are many le-
gends to account for its peculiar
shape. One of these, taken from a
very old book on "Church HISTORY"
states that Derbyshire magician en-
gagged village blacksmith to shoe
Satan, but the work was done so care
lessly that Lucifer's hoof was prickcd,
and the pain made him kick out SC
violently in passing Chesterfield
Church that he twisted the spire. An
other story charges the King of Dark
ness with being the cause of the
steeple's deformity in an even more
laughable way. 1t is to the effect that
Satan alightiDg one day to rest on the
summit of the fabric, had his nose so
tckled by the incense arising from the
altar beneath shat he gave a terrible
sneeze aud not merely shook but act
ually twisted the steeple with his dia-
bolical spasm." Yet third tradition,
says a writer of ''Old and New Ches.
terield," endeavors ''to Islander the
fair sex Of Chesterfield in its efforts to
givea reason for the steeple's cork
screw like form. 1t ungallantly as
serts that pretty and virtuous women |
were scarce in town, SO scarce indeed |
that wht n lovely and good woman
approached the church one day to be
married the steeple was astonished
and IN its astonishmen. bowed to the
bride who possessed such rare quail
ties. Attempting to regain its orig.
inal position the steepls wrenched its
back and never recovered its upright
attitude; nor is it likely to do so until
mother lovely and virtuous woman
whispers her marriage VOWS in the
