Falling Health.

Ten years ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. L tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and / am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
E. L. Williams, Alexandria, MINI.
Ihave used Ayers Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. / have
also prescribed it as tonic, as well as an
Alternative, and must say that honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever compounded.-W. F. Fowler, NJ. D.,

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense Of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
. is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

A LIVE NEWSPAPER.

The demand of the age is for good ana
cheap journalism. The day OF the anti
ouated blanket sheet, filled up with Tree
advertising and questionable extracts has
gone by, and the places OF these old
waterlogged huks are being taken by
new generation OF newspapers. The age
in which we live has no time for tiresome
redundancy and windy verbiage. 1t is an
age of action. Men demand that their
papers shall be epitomized, con
densed and abbreviated. Quality not
quantity is the standard, and
as a consequence we see growing up all
over the land, bright, sparkling journals,
small in size, compact in make up and
dynamic in power and influence. The
real, live editor OF to-day knows what to
say, when to say it and how to compress
his ideas into space in keeping with the
sentiment OF modern journalism. The
Neu York Sun was the prototype oil the
live paper. Contemporaries sneered
at the "whipper-snapper sheet, and
limited its existence. Yet the Sun is
alive to-day, very giant among the
great journals, and many of the revilers
have gone to their reward and already
the dust is thick upon their graves.
As communities become enlightened
educated up to correct newspaper stand
ard-the lively, condensed style OF jour
nalism becomes popular, and the old fog!
blanket sheets roll up in agony and stow
themselves away into their chrysali
to remain there until Gabrie
blows his trumpet, when they will com
forth to receive their sentence for anguisl
inflicted upon the human race. Th
DEMOCRAT is a live paper, and strives tt
introduce all modern ideas found to bt
popular. Enterprise, pluck and energy al
appreciated in Salt Lake City, and TIN
citizens are coming forward with tru
Western generosity, irrespective OF part.
and sect, to support what they discern t
be the paper OF the future in thi
great mountain city OF the future
Hence the DEMoCRAT's circulation is fa
climbing into flattering figures, and eac
day the press is burdened with addition;
copies. At half the price OF the blankets
the DEMOCRAT is crowding its way int
every household where live journalism
appreciated and news is desired.

WASHINGTON CRANKS.
Mrs. LOgan's Goodness Serves Her
in Good stead.

People so prominent and at the same
time SO accessible as General and Mrs
Logan receive great many callers. They
probably see more OF the class denomi-
mated as "cranks" than any other per-
sons in public life. One day last week
a tall, well-dressed gentleman called at
their house on Thirteenth street. Mrs.
Logan greeted him pleasantly and told
him the General would be home soon.
They chatted pleasantly for n few mo-
ments, when the stranger suddenly said .
"Mrs logan, do you know who | am ?"
Mrs. Logan replied that she did not,
but supposed he was an old friend of the
Generals, whom she might have casually
met and forgotten.
"No, madame, | am not" said he
solemnly and with amajestc wave of the
hand, al am Jesus Christ"
Mrs. Logan did not lose her seli-pos-
session. She quietly rang for a servant
and gave him some instructions in an
undertone. She then continued her con
versation with the stranger until police
man arrived and marched him of to the
station house.
During General Logan's recent visit to
the West letter arrived bearing New
lOIh pOollluih' "io' Logan OpcIlcll lllt
letter. The letter began by asking the
General if he remembered certain pur-
chase of land that they had made jointly
in Texas during the war. He went on to say
that the land had become immensely
valuable, and that they were both mil
lionaires,
"My heart leaped into my mouth, :"
said Mrs. Logan, who tells the story,
"and had already begun to revel in the
anticipation OF great riches, when the
language became incoherent and it
finally closed in series of fantastic scrih-
bling. knew then that our correspond
ent was another OF the genus crank, and
50 | laid the letter away, together with
my dream OF wealth, for the General and
me to read over at our leisure.

URIAH STEPHENS sP1RITUALIsM

A prominent member OF the Knights
Of Labor, in an interview with Phila-
delphia Ne,os man, says that the late
Uriah II. Stephens, one OF the founders
OF the Order, and at the time OF his death
General Master Workman, was be-
lever in Spiritualism. Stephens, who
wrote the first ritual known to Knights
as the sold A. H." frequently said that
the ideas expressed in that ritual were
received from spirits through mediums.
He said that the spirits had informed
him that the Order was destined to be Il
great power in the land politically, as
well as OF great advantage to the work
ingmen OF the United States. He stated
upon the same authority, that within two
years the seal OF secresy would be raised,
and that the existence OF the Order, as
well as its aims and purposes, could be
made known to the world without fear OF
etarding the work under way.
