Weakness aIl-lealtl

OWE their origin to an impure
state Of the blood, the urinary
and digestive organs being first
to suffer. Therefore, medicines
that will strengthen these organs
and at the same time cleanse and
purify and renew the blood, will
have tendency to cure the major.
ity Of human ailments. Such .
remedy is Or. 0uysott's Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparil,d. and, although pro-
ducing no active cathartic or diu.
retic etfect,its use will soon establish
apainless regularity Of urinary and
digestive functions. It has long ago
proven itself a specific for scrofula
and other syphilitic disorders, cur.
ing such diseases even when all
other treatment, including Hot
Springs, failed. A great point in its
favor is that it contains no mercury
r any mineral poisons, and will
never harm the most delicate con.
stitution. It merely makes one
feel buoyant and rids the system
Of blood impurities and other in.
ternal and external indications Of
failing health.

Decline Of the Cigar.

It Is fact which will astonish q
great many people that cigar-smoking
is on the decline in this country. The
Cigarmakers' Journal says that during
the month Of August the number Of
cigars manufactured here was $780,
4S7, against "a. 433, 100 during the same
month in 1887, decrease OF 5,247, ,66S
cigars. Since January 1, 1883, $685.
178,0l9 cigars have been made In New
York. decrease OF 1928, 587 COM
pared with the output for the same
length OF time in 1887. The sad truth
is brought to.light that the popularity
OF cigarettes is on the increase, while
cigars are slowly giving way before
their pernicious rivals.--M y World.

HIGHLAND OMENS.

SOmo OF the GruesOme SuperstltlOns Pre-.
vailing in the North OF Scotland.
The belief In fairies and brownies,
or the more playful and fanciful kind
OF fairy, seems to belong more to the
Lowlands OF Scotland than the High
lands. The character OF the people
was softer, and the lighter forms Of
superstitious belief found more fitting
home there than in the Highlands,
where the gloomy and austere char
acter Of the people led them to invest
the supernatural inhabitants Of their
glens and mountains with something
more akin to their own darker and
sterner natures. Thus the fairies and
brownies OF the Lowlands take In the
North the form Of warnings, that
come In gruesOme guise ito foretell
misfortune and calamity to the family
to whom they belong, and to whom
they appear when danger or misfort-
une threatens their patrons. Every
great and powerful family inhe North
was believed to have q supernatural
warning or omen which appeared be-
fore the death Of any prominent men,
Der. It varied In most cases, but each
family of a clan generally received the
same warning before death as the chief.
Very striking condolences no doubt
have occurred. quite important enough
TO convince a highly-superstitious peo-
pie Of their infallibility. Thus among
the Mackenzies the death candle was
always said to appear before the death
Of any leading member Of any branch.
A large light appeared at some dis
tance in the sky, sailing slowly till it
arrived above the place where the per-
son whose death 1t predicted lived,
when 1t would slowly disappear in q
brilliant coruscation Of light. In Tul-
loch castle cold hand was always said
to be laid on the face of the person
whose death 1t foretold. In another
family a white owl always appeared
when any member was going to die,
and in another black dog; while on
the west coast of the Highlands an old
woman, commonly called the "Grua-
gach," appeared to fortell the death OF
some important member Of the family
to which she specially belonged. -Mur-

Returning Hunter Forgets to Discharge
His Piece Until lie Points 1t at the baby.
ALTOONA, PA, Nov. 23.-Albert Shultz,
aged fifteen years, returned this evening
from hunting expedition, and, after en-.
tering his home, proceeded upstairs to put
away his gun. A prattling boy baby eight
months old occupied q hammock near the
stairway, and in q moment Of thoughtless-
ness Shultz pointed the gun at the baby
and pulled the trigger, the gun exploded,
and the load knocked half Of the infants
head off. The flesh and brains literally
covered the wall opposite. The boy had
been in the habit Of swapping the gun
when unloaded to amuse the baby, and,
contrary to his usual custom when return.
ing from hunt forgot to discharge the
gun. The grief Of the parents and young
Shultz knows no bounds. Shultz was an
uncle to the child.

A r,aEMAN.s DEVICE.



with Perfect Impunity.
The assistant foreman OF an uptown
fire company was talking the other
evening about the great perfection to
which the service has been brought in
New York, and after declaring the
common opinion that our flre-brigade
is the best in the world, continued:
"But see they have introduced In
Germany and England one new thing
which, II we adopt It, will increase
our efficiency wonderfully. There can
be no doubt OF its great value, II the
accounts l have heard Of recent trial
In London are correct. 1t Is an appli-
ance designed to enable the wearer to
breathe and work with comfort and
ease in o room filled with the densest
smoke, or even with poisonous gases.
''The appliance, as nearly as l can
make out from the descriptions have
heard, consists of sort of mask
which protects the mouth, nose and
eyes. There Is respirator with an
india rubber mouthpiece. This Is
held in place by an elastic band which
passes around the head, and also by
projections which are held between the
teeth, and fange which lies between
the teeth and the lips. The air Is
drawn in through series Of small
filters, one after another, which are
charged successively with wet sponge,
cottonwood, cottonwood charged with
glycerine and animal charcoal. These
filters are very lightly packed so as to
offer little resistance to the air as 1t is
drawn in by the act Of respiration, and
there is system Of valves provided to
allow egress to the air as 1t Is drawn
out in expiration.
"The eyes are protected by pair Of
spectacles which are furnished with
india rubber rims. These rims press
enough on the cheeks and brows to ex-
clude all smoke and are fitted with
mechanical wipers with which they
can be cleaned from time to time with
out being taken from the face.
THE whole apparatus weighs less
than pound, and is so simple in char
acter that any one can use it without
the least practice. II it is necessary
to use it in place where there is no
air, such as the bottom of mine filed
with choke damp, the contrivance is
modified so that fresh air is taken
through long India rubber tube.
II am told," continued the fireman,
''that they have shown by actual ex-
pertinent that it is possible for man
with the respirator on to safely enter
n building that is filed with smoke
and discover the exact position Of
fire. This is certainly thing OF ex-
ceedingly great Importance, and would
often do away with the necessity for
turning on jet OF water from the en-
gine. / presume. as matter Of
course, that our department will in
vestigate the thing. and II 1t is as good
as it is said to be they will adopt it, or
some thing Of the kind. IN y Mail
