BLOOD POISON.

About year ago had blood poison.
ard it attacked my throat in q very
severe form. 1 got \ physician to
treat me and for three months be
burned my throat out every day. Dur
ing the last three weeks l was under
his care 1t was almost impossible for
me to swallow even u spoonful of WA
ter: WAS reduced to 1Ol pounds in
weight, and the doctor told me could
not live. gave up his medicines and
began using Swift's Specific, using the
gargle directed in the circular. It was
with great difficulty could swallow
the medicine, though it was pleasant to
the taste; but I persevered in it and in
three weeks could not from nv feel
ings tell that my throat ever was af-
fected: l could. swallow anything
wished without the slightest difficulty,
and seemed entirely well. continued
the medicine and in less than four
months 1 had gone up in weight sixty
nine pounds, now weighing ITO pounds.
This may sound fishy to some, but if
the doubling will write to me or any
one in BOOntor, they can easily have
the trutbfulness of my statement es.

an elegant and capacious new building, No.

heallhiest, most elevated and picturesque
portions OF tho city. Its principals, Mr..
and Mrs. William d. Cabell, have for some
years been Its efficient managers. Not only
have they increased its building accommo-

curriculum OF study, tue college OF modern
languages being one of its very important

who has the highest Endorsements from

Sorb0nne Paris, and has an efficient corps
Of native instructors. In this enlightened
age there is demand for higher female
education; prejudice to 1t has faded away,

of the Norwood Institute to be convinced
that such an education can be procured
there.

TIE HUMANE SOCIETY'S WORK.
An Interesting Interview with Mr..
Key, tho Society's Superintendent.

An Intcresting Interview with Mr..
Key. tho society's Superintendent.
The good work of our Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animate is becom-
ing more and more apparent every day.
Under the vigorous management OF super
intendent NJ. p. Key the dumb animals of the
District have been we'll looked after and
large number rescued from brutal task
masters. As soon as the people realized
that the society had come to stay, as soon
as It bore the stamp Of success, the mem
bersbip increased rapidly, until to-day the
books show the names of $50 of the best
residents OF the city. And 1t is significant
fact that upon that list are found the
names Of some OF the leading liverymen aud
Others directly interested In horses In the
District.
WHAT THE SOCIETY mas DONE.
Superintendent Key was seen to-day aud
asked what progress the society was making.
1--WE have accomplished much good" he
said, "and the longer we stay the moro we
are appreciated. A leading official of one
OF our street railroads said to me but few
days ago that their stock was worth $4,000
more to-day than It was before the advent
Of the society. Another man who controls
ABOUT 9OO neau OF nOrseS SAID tnat MS stOck
was worth $4,000 more. Both of these
men and their drivers were vigorously
prosecuted two years ago. But the benefit
Is not here alone. II is the poor man whose
daily bread depends on his horse aud cart
that has been the most benefited. Through
carelessness or ignorance, or both, they neg
lecttd and often abused their animals. We
taught them how to properly care for their
means OF livelihood, and when they were
brutal and refused to listen to reason and
kindness we taught them through the courts
that the animal had some rights which man
was bound to respect"
CASES OF CRUELTY.
"Do you find many cases Of brutality?"
"Yes, a great many; perhaps more In
proportion to the size Of the city than even
In New York"
'.What class do you find the most difficult
to handle?'
"The old men--white or black-who have
been used to venting their spleen on the
poor brutes that they drive, are the hardest
to teach the Lesson of kindness. They are
set In their yiciousness Here, for instance,
was an old colored man whose daily bread
and that of his family depended upon the
earnings OF his horse ana cart, but who in
sisted on literally starving his poor, dumb
