Hop Bitters are the Purcst and Best
Bitters Ever Made.

They are compounded from Hops.
Malt, Buchu, Mandrake and Dande-
lion-the oldest, best, and mos. val
liable medicines in the world, and
contain all the best and most cura-
tive properties of all other remedies,
being the greatest Blood Purifier,
Liver Regulator, and Life and Health
Restoring agent on earth. No dis
s. or i'll health can possibly long
exist where these Bitters are used,
so varied and perfect are their oper-
atoms.
They give new life and vigor TO
the aged and infirm. To all whose
employments cause irregularity of
the bowels or urinary organs. or who
require an APPETIZER, Tonic and mild
Stimulant, Hop Bitters are invalua-
bic, being highly curative, tonic and
stimulating, without Intoxicating.
No matter what your feelings or
symptoms are, what the disease or
ailment is, use Hop Bitters. Don't
WANT until you are sick, but if you
only feel bad or miserable, use Hop
Bitters at once. 1t may save your
life. Hundreds have been saved by
SO doing. $500 will be paid for a
cas- they will not cure DR. help.
Do not suffer or let your friends
suffer, but use and urge them to use
Hop Bitters.
Remember, Hop Bitters is no vile,
drugged, drunken nestrum, but the
Purest and Best Medicine ever made;
the "Inyalid's Friend and Hope"
and nc person or family should be
without them. Try the bitters to-
day.

A Four Legged Officer.

4 mongrel dog which answers to
the name of Bum" is, or rather,
considers himself, one of the at
taches of the Tenth District Station.
He formerly belonged to an officer
who served under Mayor Jacobs ad-
ministration, and became accustom-
ed to following ais master and part
ner around on their beat. When
his master was discharged the dog
refused to consider himself dismiss
ed, and still follows the officers who
patrol his masters former beat. He
is punctual in attending roll call,
and when the tap of the lieutenant,s
gavel is heard he stands up behind
the officers paying as strict attention
as if ne understood every word. He
prefers night duty, and is fed by the
officers whom he accompanies. He
remains on duty from roll call until
the officers go off in the morning,
when he goes home, doubtless to
rest and recuperate for the ensuing
nights duty. 1t is alleged that he
does not associate with other dogs,
seeming to consider himself above
them, but is an inveterate enemy of
cats, which he chases and worries at
every opportunity He makes a
point of investigating every house
where the door is left open, and has
often been punished for his curios-
ity by kicks and maledictions, but,
nothing daunted, he still pursues
the even tenor of his way, and is
considered quite a remarkable dog
amono the officers.

\ Bishops Experience of Death

In a sermon In the Tabernacle
Methodist Episcopal church, Phila-
delphia, one Sunday, Bishop Bow
man, of st. Louis, related the follow
ing:
"On my return from Japan /
preached in California, and proba-
bly, overworked myself. and on the
last Sunday in February, after mold
ing divine service in my St. Louis
church, | returned home, where |
was Immediately taken sick with a
lingering fever, which the physicians
predicted would end fatally. At
this point | seemed to fall into a
kind Of ecstacy, when actually did
not know whether ! was alive or
dead. l imagined that | was on
board a most magnificent ship, and
heard the captain say, Stop her y
and which | thought to be the voice
Of my Divine Master, when my
young eighteen months old child,
who had died twenty years ago, came
to me and said that she had heard
that | was coming, and had come TO
meet me. After some little CONVEX
sation, which | do not recollect, she
said, do you not think that have
grown, papa? She then rose in a
form of glory which | have never
before witnessed. and never more
expect to see until ] die, and then
returned to her usual state, saying
that she had come in that shape to
see if | should know her. She then
said that many friends had asked
after me and were awaiting my COM
ing. and that an old lady and gem
tleman bad taken Der up and kissed
her, and saving that her papa was
their boy. ! then asked her where
her mamma was. "Oh she is off
doing something for the Lord, but
will be at tie wharf to meet us on
our arrival All this left an i'm
preston upon me by the magnif-
cence of the surroundings. and i;
was a season. Of CREST preciousness

and although it is peculiar for Inc to

Mr.. Robert Giaen. President of the

Mr.. Robert Giffen. President of the
Statistical Society of London. deliv-
cred a carefully prepared address re-
Gently. which is published in the
New York SHa. containing some
startling revelations. He forecasts
the doom of the human race, thro'
lack of the means OF subsistence, in
case it continues to multiply at its
present rate without any enlarge
ment of the resources upon which
it depends or any change in the eco
nomic methods that now prevail.
Having observed that the European
family, confined till modern times
to a small corner of the world, now
possess as their habitation over half
of the area of the earth available for
producing the food of civilized races,
he proceeds to show that the pressure
of population upon the means OF
subsistence is now deeply felt in the
chief countries of Europe, and that
there is a rapid encroachment upon
their agricultural resources. At the
present time large masses of the Eu-
ropean population has to be sup
ported by importatons of bread
stuffs.
In the United States the growth
of the millions is leading to- moment
Gus inquiries. We behold the doub-
ling OF the population in ABOUT %
years, so that it has multiplied itself
by sixteen in the course OF the CEN
tury. The rate is such as to be fair
ly b%ewildering in its probable con-
sequences. In another twenty-five
years, at the same rate of increase,
the population will BIZ 100,000,000,
in fifty years 200,0O0,000, III seven-
ty-ive years 400,000,000, and at the
end of the century S00.000,0O0! But
this growth. within the brief period
indicated, would give for the arabic.
land of the United States a popula-
ton of 400 to the square m;le-one
third as much again as the present
population per square mile IN the
United Kingdom. twice as much per
square mile as the population as the
United Kingdom supported by home
agriculture, and more than twice as
much per square mile as the present
population of France. Moreover, a
much smaller ratio of increase in the
United States of past and present
times. say to 100000 600 in a centu-
ry, would ~presuppose practically so
violent a change in the existing cot
dition that the difference between 1T
and The more violent change which
an increase of population to the larg
er figure would require need not OF
considered.
1t is from the United States that
the imports OF food to Europe are
now mainly to be had. About H.
100000 of the people Of Great Brit
ain, and millions of the people Of
other European countries, are sus
tanned by American supplies. 1t is
not difficult to see that this state of
things cannot endure, and that even
the resources of the United States
are to be put to a test Iully as severe
as that to which those of Europe are
now brought, with ominous results.

There was a great crowd that at

Dolly, the implied murderess, was
at Mrs. Hopkins house, under .

her to the neighboring jail, and Al

suggestion, had been arrested as an
accomplice.
"Why don't they tell me on what
evidence they have dared to arrest
me?' said poor Dolly.
Them weren't my orders, said
the constable, who, in truth and in
fact, was as much III the dark as
Dolly herself.

much diligent labor, produced nc
