Inherited Diseases,

No fact of nature is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease.
 Modern science, which has Illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed new light on the ominouS words of the Scriptures, "rhe sins of the fathers, unto the third and fourth generation. !" Fifty per cent. of cases of consumption, cancer and scrofula, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hered- ltary in marked degree, but, fortu- nately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distin- guished scientist truly says: 'No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less liable to be in herited. The important and far reaching practical deductions from such facts are obvious to reflecting minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these diseases is a subject of intense in- terest to all. Fortunately nature has provided remedy, which experience has attested as infall;ble, and the reme- dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific, q pure vegetable compound-nature's antidote for all blood poisons. To the afflicted it is a blessing of inestimable value. An interesting treatise on "Blood and Skin Diseases" will De mailed free by addressing

He was not convicted on that charge, however, owing to a lack of evidence sufficient to con yict.

Two young men who became belated down town the other night, and were compelled to return home by the Hume route, made a queer wager. Starting at point 100 feet away from their home, No. l bet No. ?, that No. 2 would fall into the Hume more times than he (No. 1 would. The bluff was called and the fun commenced after the appointment of a referee. No. 1 got the first fall in five steps, the second in five steps and the third in three. He finished the balance of the distance on his hands and knees. No. ? got one fall just as he entered the home stretch.

A Band of san Carlos Indians

By dispatch from San Carlos to the authorities at Washington 1t is learned that an outbreak of greater or less proportions oc- cured at San Carlos on July 29th. The dispatch gives the fol- lowing meager particulars:
 On the date above mentioned the commanding officer at San Carlos sent Capt. Lee, 10th Cav airy, with his troop and some scouts up to San Carlos to arrest three Indians reported to be in treDched in the rocks and resist ing arrest. Lee, upon his arrival, found they had fled, but the com mand followed several trails upon one of which they were found. The scouts exchanged shots with a small party said to belong to Cassadiaz's band and they think killed one Indian. The same scouts and herders while driving the agency cattle to thelr grazing grounds were attacked by party of Indians 15 miles from here and the scouts anG herders fled. What became of the cattle is unknown. The officer states that he will do all he can to quiet the Indians, but there may be serious trouble. The bands are those of Cassadiaz and Chilohunia.
 On the Both the Citizen of Tue son contained the following item: A telegram was received yesterday from General Miles stating that party of Indians had left San Carlos and instructlng him to hold his troops in readiness to inter cept if they undertook to pass south.

The Clergyman and His Hat.

An amusing story is told by Boston
clergyman about himself, which goes
to show how little circumstantial evil
dence is worth. This young clergy
man, doing an important mission work
in the city. had lodgings in an old-fash-
Toned house where it was necessary to
have a fire on the hearth, and it was
during visit from brother clergy
man that wood was being brought in
for the winters store. After his friend
had departed the clergyman had occa-
sion to go out, but could nowhere find
his hat Instead he found very bat
tered and altogether disreputable apol-
ogy for hat hanging on the peg where
his own spick-and-span head covering
had hung before. Circumstances point
ed strongly to the young man who
was bringing in the wood, and as
mildly as possible the clergyman asked
the supposed thief for his hat An i'm
mediate denial of the theft and an in
dignant outburst of wrath were the an
swer. Pending further action the cler-
gyman kept the youth within sight.
hoping he would repent and return the
stolen property. In couple of hours
the caller returned, making profuse
apologies for having the wrong hat A
scene of embarrassment ensued as
might have been expected.-Boston

In July, 1886. two whale boats were
sailing leisurely across Shanfar Bay in
the Ochotsk Sea, when the harpooner

this chap would be q formidable an

pulled at the harpoon until his brown

crushed and twisted the Australian
ironwoOd harpoon pole into q thousand
slivers. He ''took" our line ''hand

place in moment, but we had learned
in that brief time that Siberian bear

Once out of his reach we took great
