Rheumatism

It Is d7l established fdct that Hoods Sar- sapari1la has proven an invaluable remedy in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect ing remarkable cures by its powerful action in correcting the acidity of the blood which is the cause of the disease, and purifying and enriching the vital fluid.
 It as certainly fair to assume that what Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others is will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer the pains and aches of rheumatism, give this potent remedy 9 fair trial
 A Positive Cure.
 "I was troubled very much with rheuma- tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. l could hardly walk, and was confined to my bed a good deal of the time. Being rec commended to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, I took four bottles and am perfectly well. I cheerfully recommend Hoods Sarsaparilia as one of the best blood purifiers in the world" W. F. WooD, Bloomington. III.
 For Twenty Years
 Ihave been afflicted with rheumatism. Before 1883 found no relief, but grew worse. then began taking Hoods SarsapariIla, and it did me more good than all the other medicine I ever had" H. T. BALcoM, Shirley Mass.
 "1 suffered from what the doctors called muscular rheumatism. I took Hoods Sar- saparilla and am entirely cured" J. V. A. PRoUDFooT, letter carrier, Chicago, III.

New Tortures for tho Chinese


 A correspondent sends us the following: It purports to be translation of Chinese document picked up last year at the Health cries. It is dated from King Sing Tong in November, 1884, signed by certain Ly-ah, and would appear to be part of an official re- port addressed to the Board of Punishments, Pekin: After six months sojourn in this abode of moistened gloom am prepared to offer some suggestions for improving our Ce- lestial punishments. Those which we now use, and which are shown lI pictures at the exhibition of Mdme. Too-So, require good deal of apparatus and can from their de- structive tendency be inflicted only once upon the same criminal. The tortures in vogue here are perhaps the only points where these barbarians have improved on our civil ization They are self-inficted; they may
 be repeated many times; and they are al ways conducted with that rigid etiquette which is distinctive of superior people.
 From patriotic motives have even under gone many of these punishments myself, and have arranged with some barbarian experts who will accompany me home and introduce their art into our peerless country, should the brother of the Sun and Moon be pleased so to ordain.
 The name common to these infictions is l
 as pleasant. The executiener at whose dwelling they occur writes to ask the vic- tims for the pleasure of their company; and l they reply that they are happy to accept the
 kind invitation. The Pah-Tis are of various kinds One form now almost obsolete is called the Tee-Pah-Ti or Hi-Tee. It is usu- ally applied to middle-aged ladies. They have to assemble and each swallow portion l of meat followed by tea-eake, muffin or hot l toast soaked in fat made frsm the milk of l COWS. Each then drinks large draughts of a | decoction from those twice boiled leaves which we disdainfully export to barbarians as tea. The tannin in it changes the meat | into leather, and it's fluid bulk makes the tea-cake or other spongy substance expand. | Thus present discomfort and future indiges- 1 tion arc insured. Meanwhile the victims are
 compelled by etiquette to converse with as. | stunned mer1iment, regardless of the increas- l ing agony they are enduring. The greater criminals are made to sit during this opera tion with the1r backs to the fire; and in very heinous cases the door CT window is suff l ciently opened to allow draught free play 1 over their faces. This adds toothache ol neuralgia to their other inconvenience.
 These Tee -Pah-Tis, however, are falling | into disuse. For they usually occurred il l the afternoon, whereby those who took par | in them were prevented from earning income
 tax for the State. Nowadays most punish | ments take place in the evening. They ars known as evenings RRh -Tis or Swah- Rays The simplest of these is like cur admonitlor

RHODE ISLANDS QUESTION.

RHODE ISLANDS QUESTION.
 Rhode Island is small State, but it's pso- pie are just now disturbed by big question. This is, was the vote by which the prohibi- ton amendment was carried at the recent State election constitutional A bill in eqai- ty has been drawn to be presented to the Supreme court of the State in orier to se- cure an answer to this import-ht question.
 The complainants nh~rge that there has hoo.A Iecord kept whereby it could be de- termined what or how many persons voted on the proposed amendment, whether the ballots in the boxes did or did not tally with the number of voters casting such ballots. They charge that certain persons who voted in a large number of named towns were not qualified voters and by. virtue of the consti- tuition of the State, because, being registered and registered voters, they did not give to the board of canvassefs, nor to any other au- thorized body, legal proof that they, sever- ally, had complied with the provisions of the constitution. Especially in this, that no one of said persons did, according to law, in person or by his agent, or by any person Ia pfu1lsz --sI,-i~a7 H- A-,>-- .-- --'-- behalf, pay or cause to be paid the tax to be paid in erder to qualify him as voter. They further say that in many towns certain per sons, illegally and of their own impulse and in their own behalf, unlawtully paid the taxes aforesaid, assessed against the persons aforesaid.
 It is also stated in the bill that by the constl- tuition of the State of Rhode Island it is pro- vided that the votes of the electors thereof upon proposition to amend, change and alter the constitution thereof should be properly and clearly authenticated, but that in every town, city, ward and voting district in the State, except in the wards of the city of Newport, and in the town of Middletown, there were no provisions whatever taken to assure correct and authentic record of the number of persons voting upon said proposi- | ton of amendment, or of the number of legal ballots given thereon.
 If these averments are we'll founded l there is a fine mess. But the prohibitionists of Rhode Island can better afford to wait
 than to have any question about the legality l of the amendment.

Praise the Lord, Ruler of the universe. Glory and praise unto the greatest of his prophets, his descendants and all his friends! Glory to God by whose will all things done, the all-wise creator of birds, horses and all living things, and praised be Adam, to the honor of whom he created his angels. On some of these living things the Lord bestow- ed his grace, on others heritage of wrath and vengeance, by which He meant nell. His deeds are wisdom. He charged upon man to love man, woman, children, thoroughbreds, birds and many other living things, and gave him silver and gold in plenty. And the Lord said: '.The horses shall drive out thine ene- mics and the foes of thy God; famed are thy horses shoulders; his bowels are hidden treasures, and his neighing strikes terror to the devil and his hosts.''
