Why is it that three bottles of B. B. B.
are sold in Atlanta to one of any other
blood remedy, and twice as much con-
sumed in the state of Georgia as any
other preparation? No one need take
our word. but simply ask the druggists.
Ask the people. They are competent
witnesses. Six houses in Atlanta
are buying B. B. B. in five and ten gross
lots, and some of them buy as often as
every two months. Why these unpre-
cedented sales here at home with so little
advertisinge Modesty forbids us making
any reply. Had B. B. B. been before

Extraordinary Medical Skill.

One stormy night, when the roads
were well-nigh impossible, n son Of
Erin came into doctors office and de-
sired the dispenser of physic to 60 TO see
friend who was list a-dyin'." He
would not take no for an answer; so,
putting the saddle-bags upon his horse,
the physician started out upon his jour-
ney. AS soon as he saw the sick man
he knew it was nearly over with him,
and remarked to the courier:
peter, you told the truth; your friend
is just at the point of DEATH"
Cant We do ainytheeng for heemP"
replied Peter.
mo; it is too late"
'.But. docthor, amt We goin' to give
heem anything at all at all?"
1T will do no good"
But, docthor, we have come so far, it
would be too bad to 90 back without
doin' anything"
For the peace of Peters mind, the
doctor now took small quantity of
sugar from phial, and placed il upon
the dying mans tongue just as he was
drawing his last breath.
Peter, seeing his friends head drop
back, looked up at thedoctor with big
eyes. and said, half in whisper, ''Oh,
docthor, an didn' We do it quick!'-

Kate Field, Friday Evening, July
80, at Opera Hall.

Boston Globe: One is scarcely
able to characterize this lecture brief
ly. 1t was series Of vivid pictures
a glance at chamber of horrors, an
array of facts and figures and docu
mentary evidence, a recital OF
the fesults of personal know
ledge and observation, which let in a
veritable flood of light upon matter
which is but imperfectly understood
by o9o people out of 1000. More
than once did her hearers turn to
look OF each other with the wide
opened eyes and indrawn breath
which said, "Can these things be?'
y Much of what she said was
impressed indelibly upon the memory,
partly by the dramatic force with
which they were delivered, partly by
the interest OF the facts themselves.
Although Miss Field pro-
tests that she is reformer only by
accident and force of circumstanc es,
yet none the less will an immense
amount of good be accomplished by
her In stirring up and educating pub
lie opinion, now SO indifferent on
this topic. Indeed, in what other
way can help Gomez And none the
less will this prove to be, we belle, c,
the great work of Miss Fields life,
the work for which in after years she
will be known and honored.

The Apostle of the Lepers.

We regret to hear that the Apostle of
the Lepers of Molonai is beginning to
pay the penalty of his heroism. Shut
away from all civilized and healthy
humanity, Father Damen has for years
been willing prisoner in the island,
in which are collected and confined the
lepers of all the neighboring Sand
witch group. For n long time, though
cut from the outward world, Father
Damen continued in good health,
though alone among the dead. But the
stroke has fallen at last. In letter
written recently he says: impossible
for me to 60 any more to Honolulu, on
account of the leprosy breaking out on
me. The microbes have finally settled
themselves in my left leg and my ear,
and one eyebrow begins to fall. ex-
pect to have my face soon disfgured.
Having no doubt myself of the true
character of my disease, / feel calm,

my sanctiticaton, and with that con-
viction say daily II good fiat voluntas
tua." Where is the heroism which will
vie with this?-London Tablet

he asked for "a little whisky" The

.Well, as this is the first to-day, and
my blood is sluggish, / guess I'll take a

NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 4.-F'ire broke out
in the eastern wing of the big Essex County
Insane Asylum Saturday morning. As
soon as the alarm was sounded DR.. HinkIey
summoned the keepers and workmen by an
electric bell and gave orders to have every
patient removed to the yard. A wild scene
followed. Demented men and women, some
of them thinly clad rushed out of the burning
building from every exit. One violent wom-
an refused to leave her room, and had to
be placed in straitiacket and carried out
by fo-ce. Although there were some very
narrow escapes, it is not known that any
persisted. Keeper John Mclaughlin, who
was asleep in his room on the top floor,
barely escaped with his life. The total loss
is about $4,000. The two upper floors OF
the eastern wing were Quilted, and water
damaged the floors below. Patients and
keepers sustained personal losses.
