Why You Feel

~
So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS well expect the
sanitary condition of city to be per-
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such compli-
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons OF blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and half minutes, and that,
on its way, it makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and all other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
1.-THE Life of the Body"
Is it any wonder, then, that if the blood
be not pure and perfect in its consti-
tuents, you suffer so many indescribable
symptoms?
Ayers Sarsaparilla stands "head and
shoulders" above every other Alter
ative and Blood Medicine. As proof,
read these reliable testimonies:
q. c. Brock, of Lowell, Mass, says:
" For the past 25 years 1 have sold
Ayers Sarsaparilla. In my opinion,
the best remedial agencies for the cure
OF all the diseases arising from impurl-
ties of the blood are contained IN this
medicine"
Eugene /. Hill, II. D., 3S1 Sixth Ave-,
New York, says I" AS a blood-purifier
and general builder-up of the system,
have never found anything TO equal
Ayers Earsaparilla. It gives perfect
satisfaction"

efscacious in all forms of Scrofula.

cons.s,ous.s.. of Lepro.y.

The question of the contagiousness
of leprosy has again been raised by the
action of the board of health of Phila-
delphia in fning a physician 500 for
not having reported two canes of that
disease which were under his care.
The editor of the New York Medical
Journal, in commenting on this sub
iect claims that there is mass Of In
controvsrtible evidence to be found in
medical literature which ought to
place its contsgiousness beyond quss-
ton. In the Sandwich Islands the
physicians believe strongly in its COM
municabiliiy, and number of in
stances are given which confirm this
belief.

Bishop james Mcknight OF the
Mormon Church, during recent talk
on Brigham Young and his family,
told some interesting personal history.
He said Brigham Young's sons did
not amount to much. Joseph A.
Yonng, the Oldest son of President
Young's second wife, died with a
bullet in his forehead in q gulch in
Southern Utah. He was probably
shot by man whose wife he had de-
bauched. He was a ibertine, and
when he had been drinking was very
bad man. He had considerable busi-
ness ability and at one time was looked
upon as likely to be a valuable pillsr
of the church, but his habits pulled
him down. / remember at one time
to have interfered to save his life in u
saloon kept by an Italian, whose wife
he had insulted. / afterward wrote an
article on drunkenness. in which the
incident was described, but no names
were mentioned. Joseph recognized
the picture l drew, and swors he
would shoot me on sight, although up
to that time we had been the best of
friends. l also kept my revolver
handy and did not propose that he
sheuld get the drop on me. When he
found that l was prepared for him, he
did not try to shoot me.
"John w. Young is still living, but
he is not much of a man, and is very
little respected by those who know
him intimately, although the fact that
he is a son If the late President gives
him a good deal Of power in many
quarters. Brigham Young, second, is
the third son of the late President;
he is fat, heavy fellow, who is reason
ably good natured, but amounts to
little.
Earnest Young, a son of the Presi.
dent by his third wife, went to Eng
land as a missionary: He preached in
various parts OF the kingdom, drank
heavily, and there we're various scan
dals connected with his name. Finally
when he was ready to return he
preached sermon in Liverpool, in
which he denounced his father. He
said that many people believed that
Brigham Young was in heaven. He
announced his own belief that he is in
the other place, and went on to point
out many reasons that prompted him
TO that belief. When he arrived in
Sal: Lake he receiyed his share of his
fathers estate, and NTH some $24 ,00O
in his pocke. went forth to make the
rounds of the saloons. The next
morning lie was FOUND dead in his bed.
Several other os Brigham Young Is
children led sad lives. Alice, a daush-
ter by his second wife, married Bishop
Clawson, and aiterward killed herself.
Another daughter went insane.
Brigham Young was very wealthy
when ho died. l should say mill
ionaire several times over. He made
his money largely through contracts
with railroad companies and with the
Government. but aside from this there
were immense sums constantly pour
ing in from abroad and from the mis-
sionaries, and large amounts were
given to him by faithful believers.
This money was nearly all contributed
for the erection of the temple. Then
there were the fittings, which all
passed through the Presidents office.
He made a large contribution to the
church at his death, and the rest was
divided among his children.

does not appear to have been inherited
by any of the higher animals which
intervene between the insects and our
own race; but this only enhances the
irony of our destiny, if we do, indeed,
in any sense inherit from these insect
aristocracies one Of the most disastrous
instincts of the audacious but indole0s
creatures which fight SO much better
than they work. If we have not in
herited the architectural instincts of
bees or beavers, nor the spinning in
stincts Of spiders, nor the power 4 the
dog to track out its home, it is little
sad that we should have inherited the
one disastrous instinct of the ant by
which it makes itself dependent ON o
more timid and industrious species OF
its own race, and thereby loses the
power to help itself. What is still
moro curious is that even where
human beings have wholly exceptional
and unheard Of powers, they bctray no
traces of the exceptional and unheard-
Of powers of the races whose vital or
ganization we are said to inherit.
The occasional appearance of very rare
mathematical powers, for instance, SO

who could not even give any account
Of the process whereby he arrived at
correct results which the educated
mathematician took some time to veri-
fly, certainly was not reyiving in him
self any Of the rare powers Of the
lower tribes Of animals. Nor do the
prodigies in music who show such mar
velous power in Infancy recall to us
any instinct Of the bird, the only mu.
steal creature except ourselves. Still
less, of course, does great moral
genius. the genius of A Howard or a
Clarkson, suggest any "Reminiscences OF
what happens in the world of animai
life. And yet even in this region
there might be some inheritance of the
kind conceivable. If it were but dis
cernible in our race. SO far as we can
judge, the exceptionally great quail

SUGAR MAKING,
The Sugar Works at Douglas, Kan,, o
Grand Success.

The Sugar Works at Douglas, Kan, q
Grand Success.
DOUGLAS. KAN, September 1z.-The
Douglas Sugar works commenced opera
tons on the 10th and accumulated sufficient
sugar to make the first strike last night, re-
sulting in obta lining 14,o00 pounds of su-
crosse which yields SO per cent of pure sugar,
COCO pounds. They are using about fifty
FIVE tons of cane EACH twenty four hours, and
by Saturday will be running 12O tons, the
full capacity of The mill. The works cost
about eco, and were put up by the people
of this town without outside all. They
adopted the Hughes process and find it sat
isfactory. The machinery was put in by
j. G. Mayes. Fred Henzie, Ger
man sugar boiler of many years
experience, has charge of
the sugar making. 1t is homo concern,
and under the management of practical
men, and demonstrates that sugar can be
made in paying quantities from sorghum
sugar cane without assistance from SO called
experts. The best results 80 far obtained
are from some old fashioned cane which has
been grown in this vicinity for the last doz-
en- years. The analysis shows 2i0 pounds OF
sugar to the ton of cane, which is looked up
on as extraordinary. These works are to be
run night and day till freezing weather, rs
they have an abundance of cane. DR.. Comp
ton, United States chemist. was here this
week consulting with the two government
chemists already here, and giving the bene-
fit of his experience to the operators of the
mill. Within a week these works will be
making from L, 900 to Il, COO pounds of first
class sugar daily.
