mIngIlngof Different BIOOds.

Every individual must be regarded
as very complex mingling Of widely
different bloods. To go no father back
than the grandparents he must he COM
posed of at least fourteen different ma
lures. II is not to be wondered at that
such a multiplicity of combinations
should lead to great variations. The
wonder seems rather that members ol a
family should resemble one another as
much as they undoubtedly do. Some-
times in face, sometimes in sorm, fre-
quently in the gait, gesture, and tone
Of voice, family peculiarities make
themselves apparent, To MANY OF these
traits Mr.. Francis Galton has devoted
his attention. His latest interest has
been shown in the color Of the eye
The tints Of the eye, for the purposes Of
his inquiry, were divided into light, ~
hazel and dark gray" and "dark :,
"The heritage OF popularity" in rela-
tion to eye-color for any child was
lound to amount to one-fourth from
each parent and one-si xteenth from
each grandparent.-Ch Chicago Meas.

The Presidents Good Reasons.

President Cleveland in giving his
reasons for pardoning a man the other
day, mentions one reason which is not
sufficiently considered by any oius.
"He has served five years said he
President, "and whatever good is ever
to be wrought upon him individually
has already been accomplished. At
the time of his conviction his wife
noble, courageous and devoted woman,
and five small children, were the suffer-
ers for his crime, and exacted the SYM
pathy OF the entire community. BY
her patient, hard labor to support her
children, and her never-iailing hope IN
the darkest days, this wife has demol-
strated that she, at least, Is entitled to

periods, which places lit in conjunction
with other systems of greater and less
magnitude where the attractive forces
are so disturbed as to produce unusual
agitation. This agitation on our planet
is the cause and cyclones are the affect.
Those cyclonic periods are a thousand
years apart, and they continue for the
length Of time our solar system is in
fluenced by this conjunction. There is
the strongest and most convincing
proofs that our unmodifed drifts is the
result of these storms when at their
maximum. Our system is now gradu.
ally entering this period. These cy.
clonics storms will contiue to increase

study of Blood diseases. and after a

Blood Elixir will cure all blood disor-
ders, Kidding the system of its impuri-
ties, and leaving it strong, vigorous
and healthy he warrants it. It is a
certain cure for all skin diseases. l
During a serious run of whooping
cough at Saltwater, N. Y. the physi-
clans found that Acker's English Rem
edy was positive cure, and prescribed
it very freely. Chas. L. Roos, Drug
gist says that in all hiss experience he
never has known any medicine to equal
it. He guarantees it to cure all Coughs
Especially chronic cases), Group,

In order that sufferers may know that
Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets will always
cure them, Oh. l.. Roos, Druggist, en-
phatically says that if the Tablets do
not relieve every case ofDyspepsia, Con-

the finest combination that, can be
