A NEW DEPARTuRE.-On good result of
the hard times a few years ago was the
medicine, which gave to every purchaser a
full equivalent for his money The rule of
this class of medicines is from ten to twenty
five doses for 81, the best only reaching
forty. Messrs. Hood q Co. took new de-
parture and in the article now so well and
favorably known as Hoods Sarsaparila,

mend this remedy to the consideration of

be sick.

How Watch Cases ore Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
. goldwatch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InaS SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifien and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~, - x.,,
which saves the WASTE of need : 0
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Plumb called up the joint resolution appro-
priating S25 900 for the eradication of the
foot and mouth disease. Plumb said it was a
very serious disease, and did not affect the
State Of Kansas only, but all States. He
sent to the desk and had read dispatch from
the Governor of Kansas urging the import
ance Of immediate action. Sherman moved
TO amend by striking out the clause which
provides that the money be expended in CO.
operation with the authorities Of Kansas, as
the disease was spreading to other States and
affecting swine and other animals. The peo-
pie of Illinois and other States were bacom-
ing alarmed st the spread of the disease, and
the appropriation should not be confined to
Kansas.
