Rev. Father Wilds'
EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. u. p. Wilds, weIl-knosn city
missionary in New York, and brother
of the late eminent Judge wllds, of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes
as follows:
'Ts e. 5ith ST., Neic York, lfay 1G, 1882
MEssRs. J. G. AVER & Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter | was troubled with a most
uncomfortable itching hnmor affecting
more especially my limbs. which itched SO
intolerably at night, and burned so Intense
~, that ! could scarcely bear any clothing
over them. | was also a sufferer from
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my
appetite was poor, and my system good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARsAPARILIA, by observation of
many other eases, and from personal use
IN former years, began taking it for the
aboye-named disorders. My appetite int
proved almost from the first dose. After
4 short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the
skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough
were also cured by the same means. and
my general health greatly improved, until
1t Is now excellent. | feel a hundred per
cent stronger. and | attribute these results
TO the use of the SARsAPARILIA, which
| recommend with all confidence MS The
best blood medicine ever devised. took
it in small doses three times daV and
used, in ALL less than two bottles. j place
these facts at your service. hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, z. p. WILns,"
The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptablity of AYERS SAEsA-
PARILLA to the cure OF all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood, and a
weakened vitality.

CRINoLfNE.

The following on crinoline appears In
Notes and Queries: The whalebone, or ra-
ther steel, cages known by that term had
their origin in woven fabric composed OF
hair and a linen (fax) warp. Hence tbs
name (criais-linun). This fabric was used
by ladies 10 extend their dresses As 1t was
costly, and, worse still did not produce the
desired extension in the lower part of the
dress, light steel hoops were fitted with tape
upon the bird-cage model, and at one time
the Diapers shops were hung with these
machines The fashion eliminated about
1923 as may be seen on reference to the
illustrated newspapers Of the time, especial
hibition of 1862. The rolling of the steel
to ribbon-like thinness for making the
hoops developed great trade at Sheffield.
In 1861 / saw at Cammels works mass Of
"crinoline" steel equal to from fifteen to
twenty tons, and was informed that this
averaged each make" Of from ten to fif-
teen tons per week. The great risk of ladies
dresses accidentally taking fire had much
Ia do with the rapid extinction of the fash
ion, for when dress ignited the steel hoops
frequently became red hot by the combus
ton of the covering fabric, while they pre-.
vented the quick extinction of the fire b.
compression. Any attempt to revive this
idiotic and dangerous fashion ought to be
instantly put down by public opinion, If it
cannot be done by law.
It may interest some to know that DIR.
Richardson, in his Field Of Disease, gives an
instance Of escape from lightning through
wearing crinoline, which acted as conduc-
tor.--Flo. Riveys.

a soAP-RuRRLE PARTY,

As about forty guests were expected, forty
pipes were decorated, each with ribbon
bowand streamers five pipes with one color,
and five with another, and so On till eight
colors were apportioned. Besides these
decorations there were forty rosettes, five
of a color, which were distributed among
the guests by little girl.
The girl then called out color, and the
five blowers who wore it took their places
around the bowl She next named color
for umpires, and they also took their places
at the right and left of the circle, where each
could see plainly It was the aim of each
blower to make the largest bubble. Each
was allowed five minutes at first for practice,
but had the privilege Of devoting all of this
time to one bubble. But when one of their
umpires called g Time !" all were obliged
to go ON with the one then begun. Some
by blowing too hard exploded their bubbles,
but could not begin another after the word
g Time had been spoken. Others were so
careful that their bubbles were small. The
umpires, of course, awarded the prize to the
one making the largest bubble that exploded
last.
Afterward, the grand trial for the chief
prize was announced and the fortunate
winner of the minor prize-one from each
group surrounded the bowl and prepared
for the contest Great interest was felt in
The trial. Among SO many of the best blow.
ers, the rivalry was very close; but, after a
merry struggle, the champion was ut last
decided upon, and was made the happy re
cipient of the grand prize, which was deliver
ed to him with a fiowery speech.
Between the dances, some quiet contests
were tried by few players, to see which
could make bubble that would outlast the
others, used their own judgment as to size
Another party found much amusement by
competing to see which player could touch
the ceiling first with bubble, under the
same regulations as before. But the bubble
must remain unbroken; none would count
which simply touched there and broke by
the contact. --From " Our Soap-5u66A !

Fortunes are made and lost on New
Years Day in Colorado. The first moment
of the new year witnesses thousands Of
sturdy blows Of the pick upon leads of gold
and silver bearing rock in all mining districts
of the State, Former ownership has been
forfeited through performance of the
annual assessment labor, and its inaugura-
ton by new parties gives to them posses
sorry title for twelve months, upon the COM
pletion of ten-foot shaft or its equivalent.
Many of these claims are known to be of
value far beyond the cost the work requires
to hold title, and some of them will prove
q fortune lost TO old owners and fortune
won by new owners. -Den0er Republican.

About sixty million copies of THE Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months
1fyou were TO paste end to end all the columns of
all THE SUNS printed and sold last year you would
get n continuous strip of interesting information,
common sense wisdom sound doctrine, and sane wit
long enough TO reach from Printing House square
to the top Of Mount COpernicus In the moon, then
back TO Printing House square, and the three
quarters Of the way back to the moon again.
But THE Sun is written for the inhabitants of
the earih this strip of intelligence would girdle
the globe twenty-seyen or twenty eight times.
II every buyer of copy of THE Sun during the
past year has spent only one hour over it, and II
his wife or his grand father has spent another
hour, this newspaper in 1888 has afforded the
human race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading night and day.
II is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or It's indu-
the opinions ard actions OF American
men and women.
THE Sun Is, and will continue to be. newspa-

much the process costs, which presents the news
of all the world without waste o. words and IN the
most readable shape, which is working with all Its

which therefore believes that the Republican par
ty must so, in this coming year Of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE SUN, you like II already, and
YOU will read 1t with accustomed diligence and

ting year in its history. If you do not yet know
THE Sun, 1t II high time to get in the sunshine.

MEASURING FOR BoNNETs.

bit of experience and information to the
New Orleans Times Democrat;
While I was in a store so essentially fem
mime that felt as though | was wholly
unwarranted intruder, gossamery creature
entered.
+" Can you measure me now p she asked.
Right off," the woman behind the
counter replied, taking up tape line and
opening a note book.

tati house during the female hours; but
the fair customer was not in the least per-
turbed.
