Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. G. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was az
fiicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM

many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak

cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsapari,,,,sSs to remedy the evil.
All sufferers Trom blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding oil powders, oiniments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail 10 effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently a'V Ttised to remedy.

Among Gloucester Fishermen.

Thriftlessness is uncommon among
Gloucester fishermen; drunkenness is
almost unknown; harmless banter and
believing boasting are the nearest APP
proach to brawls. There is a tender
heartedness among them that is remark
able and almost pathetic. Many go
away that never come back. Stand here,
if you will, at these crowded wharves
and watch the arrival and departure of
fishing fleets, and if you have heart
you will feel something heavy in your
throat. The old mothers and fathers,
the younger brothers and sisters, the
wives and wee fishers children, are all
here, score on score. They are try
ing to look brave as the vessels
sail out. There is pride and loyal valor
in their faces all. They shout and shout
to the departing Ones who send it all
back in good measure, every manner of
good cheer and sea lore for luck. AS the
schooners clear the harbor out past Ten
Pound island. some will run away around
the harbor edge. as if to keep company
to the last. But those who stay, leaning
far out over the dark bulkheads, look
fixedly on and on until the white sails
disappear behind cruel Norman's Woe, or
sink behind the horizon; and if you can
see in their eyes as they at last turn to the
little home spot for the weeks or months
of dreary waiting, there is unutterable
sadness behind the quivering lids.-Ed-

The Psychology Of Joking.

DR.. Hughlings-Jackson publishes some in
teresting remarks on this topic in The Lancet
He regards punning as the lowest stage Of
the evolution of humor, but even in the pun
he sees a material for the study of normal
mentation. In a pun we have two ideas
called to the mind at once-a double vision,
as it were; and, as all thought is the com
parison of relations, this is simply carica-
ture of the normal process of thought
Again: the world owes great debt to the
first punster, because he began the "play" of
the mind lin the same sense as art is founded
on the play INSTINCT, and SO detached him
self from the grossly useful, and showed q
surplus energy capable of developing int
the highest traits of mankind To lack a
sense of humor is bad thing. "The man
who has no sense of humor, who takes things
to be literally as distinct as they superb
cially appear, does not see fundamental SINH
larities in the midst of great superficial diff
ferences, overlooks the transitions between
great contrasts. do not mean because he
has no sense of humor, but because he has
rot the surplus intellect which sense of
umor implies Science.

Material for Successful Engineers.

A number of our leading railway shops
are taking in engineering students,
bright young men who come from the
technical schools to learn the practical
side of railway mechanics, and who en-
ter as apprentices. They receive slightly
more pay than the ordinary apprentices,
but their wages are still merely nominal.
The experience has been that when en-
gineering students have been thus re-
ceived, the benefit is mutual. These
young men come into the shops fresh
from their mathematics and their draw
ing tables, and while they absorb all that
they can of the probabilities of their
chosen work, they are found to be very
useful by their employing officers, be-
cause of their familiarity with mechani-
cal theory and drawing. There are not
a few master mechanics in the country
who are invaluable in their places-first
class men in every respect-but who, in
early life, had not the advantages of
education which this younger generation
of students has had and they find many
directions in which these educated young
fellows are made useful. Especially
useful are these students as a detail for
special work of investigation. They are
well equipped for such work, and they
know how to make a good report on the
same.-Railway Review.

The whaling steamer Lizzie N, Of
Provincetown, Mass. Capt. West which
has been engaged in the finback whale
fishery on the eastern coast, when about
fifteen miles east southeast from Seguin
island, off the coast of Maine, saw
large lone whale of that species, and at
tempted its capture. A boat was low
cred and manned by Capt. West, his
mate and four seamen. Capt. West,
with large heavy whale gun, in which
was an explosive bomb lance, took the
breach of the boat, while the mate
steered. When the boat was near enough
to warrant a shot Capt. West fired the
gun, but, as the sea was rough, the mo-
ton of the boat destroyed the accuracy
of the aim. The whale was badly
wounded, but not in any vital part The
whale then made for the boat, and in
pr ssing under it struck it with his f1ukes,
throwing it some thirty feet into the air,
with its crew.
AS the boat descended the whale again
struck it with his tail and completely de-
molished the boat and killed one of the
crew, cutting him completely in two.
The whale then commenced to bite and

boat, killing two more men, Neal Olsen
and Chris johnson, who were supporting
themselves on pieces of the wreck. Capt.
West, the mate and the other men were
safely taken aboard the steamer and an
other boat was lowered to capture the
monster. Then the whale attacked the
steamer. By quick turn of the rudder
the steamer cleared him by few feet.
This occurred a second time. By throw
ing over large cask, at which the whale,
thinking it was the ship, kept bucking
away, the captain was enabled to get a
shot with the bomb lance, and finally the
whale was killed. Boston Transcript.

An Interesting Exhibition.

Parisians will soon have an exhibition
of rather novel and highly interesting
kind. This will be what is called an
Exposition de Charges" or a collection
of all the best caricatures which have
been produced in France since the begin
ming of the present century. All the
celebrities from Bonaparte to Boulanger
will, it is expected, figure therein. Fore
most among the caricaturists will be
Philipon, who founded the Charivari. and
when tried for having disseminated the
traits of his majesty the "citizen king
under the appearance of ga pear" asked
his.accusers how he could help the re-
semblance between the royal face and
the horticultural object in question.
Neither will the committee forget those
pictorial Pasquins of Paris-Robert Ma
caire and Bertrand, who were also Gre
ated by the lively pencils of NJ Philipon
and his joyous companions. More mod
ern caricaturists will be represented in
the forthcoming exhibition by Daumier.

A Trio of Fights.

1t happens only once in century when
a triplet of figures can marshal them
selves before the human understanding,
and l presume those who are fond of
dates will see much that is suggestive in
this. Assuredly there is the sound of
fleeing time, the tick tack of clock, the
"going, going, gone" of fate in those
three Fights of 1888. They actually give
me the shivers, while in appearance it is
the most awkward array of numbers
can remember to have outlived. How
much jauntier 1777 looks! And as to
1899, it is as graceful as if composed of
comets. However, it is no use worrying
about what cannot be helped; but if l
had my way one of those fat Fights
should be bounced. Boston Herald.

A Mexican Kitchen.

A typical Mexican kitchen has neither
stove, table, chair nor cupboard, the
clean swept clay floor, an adobe shelf
against the wall and few hooks and
pegs answering every purpose. In the
houses of the rich an adobe range is built
into the wall, which is really long, mar
row box, made of sun baked clay and
partitioned off into little compartments,
within each of which a handful of char
coal may be consumed The middle
classes use a big clay jar or pot, in lieu of
a range, in which charcoal is also burned,
while the poor have ''all outdoors for
a kitchen, and build their tiny fire of
sticks wherever it is most convenient.
The cooking utensils are seldom of
iron, because here that metal is very
scarce and dear, but earthen pots are al
most universally used instead of the ket-
ties and frying pans to which northern
housekeepers are accustomed. 1t seems
incredible that a dinner of several courses
can be prepared over charcoal pot not
much larger than peck measure, the
various edibles all cooked in smaller pots
set within it.-Phila1elphia Record.

CLAD IN SHELLS OF STEEL.

Manner in Which the Finest Armors
Were Made by Skilled Artisans.
The finest armors were made from
144O to AGO. They were marvels of
suppleness, lightness and elegance. The
iron shell was modelled on the body be-
meath it and followed every movement
of the torso and limbs, protecting with
out combining them; the steel envelope
had become individual and was, like hose
and jerkin, made for its wearer, instead
of the clumsy greaves of the Fourteenth
century, made to fit any man.

body enjoyed comparative freedom
under the armet or round helmet the
head turned easily; the pointed toes of
the sollerets could be unfastened in
a moment if the knight was obliged TO
dismount; the gauntlets were as supple
as silk gloves, and the weight of the

plates of well tempered street, was so

As to other forms of service resembling
slavery which still exists in Persia, but are
gradually falling into ''innocuoIs desuetude,"
there is serfdom of the peasantry; but they
began years ago to do away with this in
practice, although not exactly formulating
such dsuse in the expressive language used
by the president of the United States. The
chief feature of Persian serfdom is the obi
CATION of the peasant to belong to the village
or estate where he was born. The villages
either form part of the royal demesnes, or
they are given as appendages to the wives of
the shah, his sons, and other grandees to
furnish them with revenues, or they are owned
in fee simple by men of wealth and are then
transferable by sale or otherwise. The
royal lands are never sold. The peasantry
go with the estate, and are assigned lands to
cultivate on shares with the proprietor. They
may not change their residence without his
permission, nor travel at will about the coun-
try. Such is the law of Persia. But the law
has been gradually falling into allegiance, and
it will not be many years before it will be n
