A Great Victory ; A Terrible Case of Scrofula
 Cured by
 Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley druggist, of Loclport, was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully less.' I do not know what it may have done for others, but do know that in my case, Hoods SarSaparil1a has proved an effective specific indeed. As an evidence of my gratitude send these facts unsolicited. and am ready to verify the authenticity Qf this cure, by personal correspondence with any one who doubts it.n CHARLES A. ROE ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.

ten rang the doorbell of a neighbours house and of the servant who came to the door ia- quired for the widow lady living there. twill you leave any wordT "Yes," the little miss answered; 'ffI am Mary Peese, and you may tell Mrs. B. that it isn't true what the girls say about my being in love with Tommy. I wouldn't be in love with such little fellow anyway-only eight years old; |; and don't think he's bit good -lookiBg.".
 The maid regarded her with some aston ishment during this concise address, and then, her pride in the family which she served being somewhat touched, she bridled up to reply: 70, you don't; we'll, you're not so good looking yourself, Mise, with your freckles and your red hair" The child re- garded her with perfect gravity and answered in tones of complete and dispassionate self possession: 'I know I'm not, but my moth CT says may be clever some day and that is better"
 This tale, apocryphsl as it sounds, is real ly true, the name I have hidden under ''Pease" being one well and honorably known in recent literature
 Another little maiden, year or two older than this, with whom have the honor of an acquaintance, has been much exercised this winter over ethical and religions, problssns She was at first Theosophist, but when the Lenten services at Trinity began it seemed 10 her that the responsibility of the family demanded that some one should occupy their pew in that church; and as nobody else seemed likely to do so she gravely betook herself to the afternoon meetings and became much inclined toward the faith inculcated by MT. Brooks. ''There is a good deal of it that is like Theosophy, {" she assured me, "and l think perhaps it's better to go with your own people instead of with folks that live so far off as India; so I can't quite tell whether I'd better be a Theosophist or not. Do come up stairs and see what beautiful new dolls house I've had built. It is higher than my head and all like a real house.''
 A small four -vear-old neighbor of hers eyinced theological tendencies quite as marked when he inquired of his mother if she supposed that the Lord was brother to the Old Nick, and on her replying that she was sure she couldn't tell what the relation Was the small philosopher went on to add: sfOf course if they are the Old Nick was born first.'
 Of course child life in its essence is the same the world over, but in it's accidents, it's local color, it is seldom more unique and more marked than here. During the present strike small urchin of the mature age of three is reported as having asked his father if it was "catching humps or catchinger;" and this is what we are all anxious to dis cover.

If London Were Captured.


 Napoleon enuncieted this as a military principle in his reflections at St. Helena, giv- ing his reasons and attributing his rapid conquests of Austria, Prussia and Spain to the defenseless state of their capitals, and the loss of his own kingdom in 1914 to the same defect. In the war between Prussia and Austria in 1866 the latter power made peace when the capture of Vienna became almost inevitable. When the French and Germans fell out in 1870 the French cry was "a Der lin;" and the German hosts having cleared the French field armies out of the way fast ened their grip on Paris as the vital point. The enormous development of the German force, and the long continued occupation of the country before they could force the city to surrender to blockade, afford 8 measure of the advantage of fortifying capital as g means of preventing an attack upon 1t. The Crimean war and the Italian war of 1859 might seem exceptions to the rule that the capital is the vital point, but they are not. The first was undertaken as means Of pre- venting Russia from taking or threatening the capital of Turkey, which is besides most important strategic point The second was in sense local war for an outlying province of Austria, in which that State was not itself invaded at all nevertheless, the
 
 lowed by the evacuation of that province by Austria, and the battle of Solferino was on y necessary to prevent her attempting to re- cover it. Napoleon described his designs in these words: s'A la verite je n'allais pas soumettre ct occuper comme Cesar Ia here Albion, j'allais ruiner ses chantiers, ses ar senaux, ses manufactures il ne me fallait que trois semaines pour operer Ia des- cente, entrer dans Londres, ruiner les chan tiers, ct detruire les arsenaux de Portsmouth ct Plymouth" London, besides being our commercial and social center and the seat of government, includes within it's immediate neighborhood and the circuit of it's defense our only great arsenal and manufactory of guns at Woolwich, our principal powder fac- tory at Waltham, and some of our largest private powder factories, our great and only government small-arm manufactory at En- field, and our chief store of small arms at the Tower. The capture of London would therefore paralyze our defense, and though no doubt we could transfer the seat of gov ernment elsewhere, and find factories of arm, powder, &e., in the midland counties and the north, yet they are very accessible to 8 foreign army and equally undefended. It will serve to give some idea of cur position in case we lost comuaai.>5 of the sea round our coast Eve must not limit our command to the channeD, if it is remembered that London is only fifty miles from the south coast and fifty from the east; that after many battles, and in spite of French forces numbering two hundred and ten thousand men, the Germans had got to Paris, two hundred and fifty miles from the frontier, six weeks after it was crossed.

How to Float a Company.

There exists in the city of London some what numerous class of men, who were for merly called promoters of companies, but who have of late years assumed the more sound ing title of financial agents. Let us suppose that to one of these gentlemen there occurs the happy thought of starting Fiji Islands tramway company. He loses no time in put ting his scheme into shape, and the following may be taken as a fair example of how he carries out his intentions. His first work is to get together 8 board of directors, and this, supposing he has had fair business experi- enoe, IS not 80 difficult as might at first be supposed. Together with the financial agent another class of men has bean called into ex- istence by the great sstension of the joint

An underground hotel at Niagara Falls is one of the latest notable schemes. The schemer proposes to build his hotel under meath the American falls, with piazza look ing out upon the vast sheet of falling water. All that is necessary, he explains, is to sink . shaft on Goat Island; tunnel straight out under the channel, blast out 8 cavern, put in iron pillars if necessary to support the ceiling, and construct an observation plat form facing the fall from the rear. A por- ton of the veranda might be shut of from the spray by means of plate glass doors, so that no change of clothing would be neces- sary for those who dislike dampness.
