THE DARKEST HOUR,

For period Of four years I've been victim OF
a very severe and agonizing case of salt Rheum
which affected my hands to such an extent that
they almost become a burden.
My hand became raw und hOrrfying, COMPEL
ing me to keep 1t covered all the time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for various prep
arations, hut IN instead Of benentting my condi-
ton. they all seemed to stimulate and encour-
age the progress of the miserable disease until
nad about given up all hope.
But hank heaven 'the darkest hour Is Just
be fore day." and am rej0iced to know that
pos tive cure mas been found, which is known as
b. B. B.-BotanIC Blood Ba In.
My family all rejoice at its magical curative
powers in giving me relief. nv hand has been
cured and resembles a burnt surface after being
healed over more than anything else. 1t has also
cured my two children of a loathsOme form of
Itch which had resisted all previous treatment

WINGED scAveNegRs oFTHE SOUTH
Fundamental Facts as to the Nature and
Utility of the Turkey Buzzard.

The so-called turkey buzzard is not q
buZZard, but a vulture. By insisting
upon this distinction the buzzard tribe
could improve its reputation for Cleanli-
ness. 1t is against the law in almost
every southern state to shoot a turkey
buzZard. There are two excellent reasons
for this prohibition; the buzzards are the
scavengers of the south and there is no
telling what sort Of pestilence dead
turkey buZZard would bring on if anybody
should kill one
The turkey buZZard is a knowing bird.
He knows he is not good to be eaten
though his knowing this does not imply
that he has superior Acknowledgement he is
not shy OF mankind. He hOvers over the
market places i'll the southern cities, wait
ing for business to close; and when the
crowd of purchasers has departed the buZ-
zard descends and feaSts upon the odds
and ends that have fallen from the
butchers and the tishmungrrs' knives.
The scarcity Of hash, mince pie and fish
chOwder in the southern states i some
thing for which the buzZard should have
credit. In Charleston there is IA big pub
lie market down by the water, and the
buzzards always clean up after business
hours.
The wisdom of the turkey buzzard is
known also by one of his eNpedcntS for
getting rid of work which i fatiguing in
the southern states. He goes to the
mouths of rivers, where the conflicting
forces of current and tide deposit ON the
banks a considerable proportion of the
CarriOn and other unwhuleSome things
that are borne toward the sea on the
rivers flood. and there he accommodates
his not very faStidiOus appetite to the
movement of the tides. All animals that
perish inland are found by the buzzards
Ii is even said that fiocks of these birds
will hover for days and nights over Il
horse or COW that is on its last legs \
nOrtherner was driven out of southern
Georgia last winter by some one telling
him that the buZZards We're beginning to
keep an eye on him. Last summer the
sheriff Of a county in Florida disappeared
in the woods after having loaded up a big
revolver, and told his wife he WAS going
made to learn whether he had kept his
promise. but after II day of searching i'll
the cypress swampS the SearChers sat
down in the shade of their houses and
said they would wait three days, when
the buZZards would find him, and then
they would find the buZZards.
The turkey buzZard, despite his formid
able look, is "a harmless bird. Not only
does he never strike a creature till it is
down, but he hardly ever strikes it till it
is dead.--GeOrgia Cor. New York sun.

General David Hunter commanded the

Gen. Hunters republican principles were

The impromptu address uf tIT. HalStead,
of the Cincinnati CUnrnC CrciGl -GuzcttC, in

significant utteranCe. He thought that
the republicans of Ohio. after having gained

summarily thrust aside without hearing or
consideration in the supposed house of its
very extraordinary gathering, and believe
the permanent organization effected would
be Of very considerable use to the party

At Yaquina Bay, Oregon, the fishing is
done by Indians from canoes. They fish in
about one hundred and twenty-five feet OF
water q mile and a half or so from the
shore. They use no bait, but have the
shark of their hooks covered with block
tin, the glitter Of which attracts the tsh,
and the hook does not reach the bottom un-
til it is seized by FISH. There are two In
dians to each canoe, and at present five ca
noes are employed. The beauty of this
system u the fish canning establishments is
that there can be no great loss. If an In
