That Tired EeeEnq

The warm weather has debilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors
most Of the time. The peculiar, yet common,
complaint known as "that tired feeling"
is the result. This feeling can be entirely
overcome by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which gives new life and strength to all
the functions Of the body.
"I could not sleep; had no appetite I
took Hoods Sarsaparilla and soon began to
sleep soundly; could get up without that
tired and ianguid feeling; and my appetite
improved" X. A. SANFORD, Kent, Ohio.

Fun Turned to Fact.


1t is a curious and indeed surpris-
ing: fact that enc of the greatest tri-
umphs of modern science is but re-
production of one of Baron MunGhau-
sens absurdities. How strange to find
the following statement in a book pub
lished a hundred years ago: ''Seized
with a fury for canal cutting, l took ii
into my head to form an immediate
communication between the Mediter-
ranean and the Red sea. / proceeded
to the Isthmus of Suez. -
Having made. track with my charcat
from sea to sea, ordered my Turks
and Russians to begin, and in a few
hours we had the pleasure of seeing a
fleet of British East Tndiamen in full
sail through the canal. The officers of
this fleet were very polite; and paid
me every applause and congratulatiou
my exploits could merit"
The baron also creates with equal
facility canal across the Isthmus of
Darien, but in this achievement he is
still in advance of the age

Mandy, with her customary prerisicn,
had laid overnight, after clearing: nff
the fragments of the previous banquet.
1t was at the of day that Mrs.
Rose, throwing on her wrapper, thrust
her feet into her little slippers, and
crept down stairs. Her eyes were but
half open, but they sprang wider at
the vision of the, reception room.
Steuts chair was empty, the cot was
empty, the bed-clothes were tossed
about, the carpet; was strewn with
dried mustard plssters and torn band
ages and pins and strings her sacred
reception room. For an instant she
stared about her, and then sprang for
the back door. 1t WAS open; the yard
was empty. She bolted the door and
came back through the dining room in
bewilderment over the abstraction of
this dying paralytic and her eyes fell
on the folded paper, and she paused.
Do you think Mrs. Rose was a fool,
that she should not know what that
paper was when she looked it over 2
Had she not figured to herself a thou
sand times how such paper would
look when their ship came in The
apparition that flashed through Sarah's
room and Mary's room, and would
have liked to run over to Lonise's and
startie grandmother, and that wound
up proceedings in her own room, was
fourishing legal document and cry
ing ont, "And he was an Angel in Dis
guise and / said so and what you
think that ISL Tom, oh, Tom 1t is
our mortgage, and it is discharged !!
And that man was the man that held
it, and he was coming to take it up or
something, and he has cancelled the
whole thing, and with his thanks too
think of it! And, oh, can you call that
anything else than an angel"
'In disguise 2" said Tom, presently,
when she had her breath again, and
the rapture was momentarily stilled.
Certainly not, Mrs. Rose and in
spite of my gratitude, must admit,
very much in disguise"

Bowling, thus expresses himself: az

is to keep on till everybody gets spirit

An Ingenious Invention.


The first aud only anger ever manu-
featured that will bore a square hole
is now in the shops of the Cleveland
Machine Company. This auger bores
a two-inch square hole, the size used
i'll ordinary frame buildings and barns,
but they can be made on the same
principle to bore square holes of any
size. Its application is ordinary and
works on the same principle as round
hole augers. Its end, instead of hav-
ing u screw or bit, has u cam motion
which oScillates cutter. mounted on
II steel rocking knife which cuts on
both sides. In order to prevent the
splintering of the wood the ends of the
cutter are provided with small semi
circular shaped saws which help in
cutting out perfectly square corners.
1t is estimated that this new process
will save the labor of three men who
work with chisels, Us one man can
conveniently cut II twO-inch mortise in
the same length of time he can bore Il
round hole. The invention is the
work of IA Wooster man who has given
the subject years of patient thought.

His. administration lasted until the end
of 1876. when it seemed as if he had
accomplished great deal in the way
of establishing authority in that COIN
try of warning wild tribes. e..
Gordon resigned his office
in the summer of 1879 because Khedive
Towfik did not sustain him in his ne
gptiations with the king of AbysSinia.
He had tried to do well by the people
he governed, bnt the corruption of
Egypt was bayond his remedy. When
he returned To England he was the
hero of the day, and was commonly
called ''the unerowned king. 80
l. Charles George Gordon is one OF the
enigmas of human: nature. He lacked
but little of being "a great man. He
possessed the most ardent enthusiasm
for humanity he devoted all his pow
ers TO whatever duty lay. before him :;
he accomplished marvellous feats of
soldiery and of administration he
was ii model of honor and a miracle of
sen-denia1 yet it strangely happens
that the impression of his life is that
of an adventurer. He never married,
and frequently throughout his brilliant
career one finds him expressing II
strange WEAKNESS and safety, rs if his
life were nothing to him. One such
utterance has been quoted; another
was when lac told King john of Abys-
sinia thatif he killed him, "You wonld
confer favor upon me, for you would
be doing for me what | am precluded
by religions scruPles from doing for
myself-yOu would relieve me from all
troubles and nisfortunes the future
has in store for mel Gordon hated
his own fame, and said no man, had a
right to be proud of anything, and he
had no right to possess anything, hav-
ing given himself to God He gave
away everything he had, and said that
every gold chain or adornment should
be given to the poor. In this way he
disposed of the medals and other pres
ents that came to him. His religion
was q singular mixture of Christianity
aud fatalism. He was IL singularly

teresting. Among the articles which
are drawn by members as stationery
are clocks watches, opera glasses by

leather bags. Even large trunks and
travelling bags are included in the
list. Toilet sets appear to have been

Irish linen are gravely recorded as

soap dishes, cologne, bay rum, Christ
mas cards, engraved plates for cards,
manicure sets, shaving sets, nail scis-
