The Pure and the ImDure.

The merry little mountain brook, as I.
lightly dances over the rocks and spark.
'es IN the sunshine on its way down to
the river, is pure and clean. 1t is active
therefore it is healthy. 1t is vigorous,
therefore It resists impurity. But the
sluggish pool, where the current is no!
strong enough to keep the water in mo
ton, Is stagnant and foul. Dirt All
rubbish are thrown INTO it, and STAY
there. Impurities and vile odors make
TIA breeder of disease and an object to b.
avoided: When the blood is strong ans
rich anti red, and vigorously courses 1t.
accustomed rounds through arteries and
veins, the system is hearty and healthy,
When the blood IS thin and moor and
weak, impurities and deflements Green
into it, and it has no strength to cast
them out. Then the system runs down.
The only known reliable cure for impure
blood and weak and debilitated system
Is Hops and Malt Bitters-Natures rem,
edy. The great Blood Purifier and Kid
ney and Liver Remedy, compounded
from the we'll known curatives, Hops,
Malt, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandel,on,
Sarsaparilla, Cascara Sagrada, etc. Hops
and Malt Bitters Is the greatest Health
and Life Restorer agent on earth. 1t is
especially recommended for all diseases Of
women, s1ch as mental depression, weak
ness breaking down, ]assitude of the
system, headache, etc. A trial will surely
convince any one ofits merits. Call for

Speed OF Thought In Il Dream.

-s.,a Tor. SclenU.fic American
A telegraph operator was one night
during the Turco- Russian war receiy-
ing a press dispatch regarding the war,
in which the name Of Gortschakof WAS
being to.egra phed. Gortschakofs name
appearing so often in such dispatches,
the operator, as soon rs he !seard the
first syllable Of tA>o great pre'nier's name,
went to sleep and dceamt he went to his
mothers home III the Indian territory;
went hunting with some Indian
friends; had a great deal Of sport,
and went through an experience
which would take days to perform, and
finally, after returning from the hunt
during the division of their game, he
woke up in time to hear the final syllable
Of Gortsch%hoff's name, and succeeded
in making q complete "copy" Of the
message. At the rate of forty words
per minute, at which telegraphing is
usually done, You will see that the time
of the dream, which commenced when
the middle syllable OF GortschakofEs
name WIS being made, was one-third Oh
one and one-third of q second, or forty
four one-hundredths of Il second.
