Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsApARTLLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago ono of Mr.. 44ELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through tho lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dischargng great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELASp's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayod the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed tho swelling, and
completely restored the limb to uso.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

A Matter of Luck.

A gutter band consisting of five Ger
mans was footing an excruciating tune
in front of beer saloon on Druid Hill
avenue yesterday morning. The must
clans were incased in thick clothing,
and three of the cornetists wore nit
tens, making it impossible for them to
sound one note without closing all the
valves on their instruments. The larg-
er Instruments were incased in bags to
prevent the cold weather and the Wig
orous blowing of the players from split
ting the brass.
Say, Jim, give them fellers nick
eip' shouted a potato fakir to his part
ner, who was passing the band. The
Vender Immediately went down in his
pocket and gave a coin to the little
stout fellow who was Justify blowing
the cornet with icicles.
''Is it customary for arabs to give
money to gutter bands?' asked a re-
porter.
ssOh, yes replied the peddleB of
vegetables, as he changed five huge
potatoes from one hand to another.
lyon see. we have to do it for luck.
I'll bet dollar we sell out before noon,

Drink in the Time of the Crusades.

The Crusaders were great topers. and
to them is due the bringing of spirits.
The Arabs had reinvented distilling,
but the process is described by Galen
and Zosimus, writing in the second ana
fifth centuries respectively. 1t Is
thought to have been known to the old
Chaldes, and from them transmitted to
the Scythians-Tartars, who, ike the
Koords nowadays, were always making
inroad toward the Mediterranean. Al
cohol is, of course. an Arabic word
probably the same as the Hebrew
''kaar' Chaldee ''cohal, meaning any
thing highly subtilized, whether IN pow
der or spirit. In the former shape 1t Is
applied to the finely powdered anti
mony, the 'skohl'' with which Eastern
women paint their eyelashes. With
the article, al it is the spirit or, as
Lucifer, in Longfellow's Golden Le-

rival to the older liquors, of which Cir
eldus Cambrensis writes: Their con-
slant habit of drinking has made the
English famous among all nations.
Both nature and custom make them
Ceres and Bacchus; but, in the beer
which conquers and domineers over
them, Ceres prevails" Spirits, how
ever, were not made or much drank in
England till the sixteenth century. Even
abroad for a long time brandy was only
used as q medicine, the efforts of chem-
lists like Raymond Lully being devoted
to rectifying what the Arabian Abucas-
is had taught them how to produce in
a hydrated form. How is it that whis-
ky (uisgebaugh-water of life) got into
use so much sooner in Scotland and
Ireland? 1t cannot be because mount
aims are unsuited to Matchmaking, for
much of Ireland is plain, and the Welsh
have never changed their ancestral
cwrw, (beer), such as it is, for spirits.
Moreover, good ales are still brewed in
Scotland and Ireland, notably at Drog-
heda. and the old song about King Ar
