Returns of the popular vote for President
have been made from every State. In the
whole country total of about eleven and a
quarter million votes were thrown, an in-
crease of over one and a quarter millions
since 1884. In both elections Cleveland had
q slight plurality, 23,005 over Blaine in 1884.
and 1896 ever Harrison this year. The
totals for the three leading candidates this
year stand: Cleveland, 1884, 53; Harrison
5,436,627; Fiske, 24S,S15. This is a gain for
the Prohibitionists of 9S, 446 since 1884, when
they polled 15O,369. They lost this year in
Alabama, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont and West Virginia. They made
nominal gains only in Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi,
Nevada, Rhode Island, South Carolina and
Texas. In several other States the gains
were not more than two or three thousand
each, though in some cases this doubled or
trebled an Insignificant vote in 1884. The
heavy gains were made in Illinois, where the
vote went up from 1904 to 22,201; in Minne-
sofa where it increased from 1854 to $4,000;
in Nebraska. where there was a gain from
1889 to 9,420; and in Ohio where the IL ,O69 of
1884 became 24,356 this year. In other States
the party was Insignificant or moribund.

Catarrh

is blood disease. Until the poison is
expelled from the system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment is thorough course
of Ayers Sarsaparilla - the best OF all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better delay is dangerous.
/" was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. / tried various remedies,
and was treated by a number of physi-
clans, but received no benefit until ]

few bottles of this medicine cured me Of
this troublesome complaint and COM
pletely restored my health. Jesse NJ.
Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. G.
"When Ayers Sarsaparilla was rec
commended to me for catarrh, was in
clined to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
eft, had no faith that anything would
cure me. i became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the sense of smell, ard
my system was badly deranged. Twas
about discouraged, when friend urged
me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and re-
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half dozen
bottles of this medicine, am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood"

Tho Daughter of Owen Meredith.

The Daughter of Owen Meredith.
 In the days when Lord Lytton wrote poetry and was better known as Owen Mere dith, people who pretended to know insisted that he had some unhappy love affair with g married woman, to whom some of his most famous poems were addressed. Afterwards he consoled himself with a wife of his own, but he always retained great fondness for the Lucille type of woman, with pale, clear skin, and dark hair and eyes, such as the wo- man of his first passion is said to have had. Strangely enough, his daughter strongly re- se1nbles the girl he was so fond of describing over and over again in verse. She and he are the most inseparable friends and com rades and the affection between them is really beautiful to see.
 She is very clever, it is said, and he has educated her in great measure himself, in conseuuence of which their tastes are similar and their intellectual pursuits enjoyed in common. They both are ardent connois- seurs of Eastern art and literature, and the hotel they inhabit in Paris is perfect treas ury of Indian carvings, manuscripts, pottery and hangings. The girl is an excellent horse woman. and early every morning she and her father are to be seen galloping side by side in the Bois. Afterwards they work together, for she takes great interest in his public labors and performs many of the duties of a secretary for him. She paints with consider able skill and sings charmingly, and there have been whispers of late about her efforts in verse. which are said to be such as Owen Meradith himself would not be ashamed to acknowledge.- New York World.

NATURES MANY CONFERENCES.
 To fish without labor would bruise the root bark of Jamaica dogwood and throw it into the water, to be sure of stupefying all the fish within it's influence, without in turing them as food. This tree is common in Mas sau-Piscidia erythrina-and it's bark is now considerably -es..-of,iats in medicine. Curiously enough, the odor of the bark is similar to that of opium. For a sponge need not go to the sea, but whip against stone the ripe fruit of the Egyptian luffa, which so commonly here reaches US squash like vine into the sapodilla trees. This then freed from seed and peel gives me a wash rag or vegetable sponge-for both kit chen or bath. Bottles, bowls, jugs and cook ing pans grow on trees-the calabash trees.

 Owing to the unreasonable weather, 8 number of the large Metropolitan Retail Houses find themselves unable to handle the full quantities of Costumes contracted for early in the season.

 Our reputation of being Cash Buyers and of having facilities for using unlimi- ted quantities of Goods at our prices.
 We were solicited to make Cash Offer for the above lot containg seventeen hum dred Ladies' Fine Woolen and Silk Suits
 Being aware of the excelency of style and workmanship for which this manu- facturer is noted. It is almost un- necessary to say we have purchased the en- tire lot at prices that do not more than pay for the labor on them.
 The entire lot will be placed on sale Friday, June 1, at 10 a. i'm. It would be impossible to enumerate the prices in de- tail, suffice to say, they commence with Ladies' Tailor Made English Melton Suits, at $3.95 each, actual worth of labor alone on such Suit is $6.00, the entire lot at correspondingly low prices.
 Just think of it,Suits that retail on Sixth Avenue from $18.OO to $29.50 we will sell during this sale from $6.75 to $10.5O.
 To accommodate the rush we will have six extra Fitting Rooms. It behoves every one with the remotest idea of purchasing any kind of a Costume, to call as early as possible, as we propose to close out the entire lot within the next ten days, (and we will do it.) -ss.

Mania and Malaria.

Drs Lemoine and Chaumier communicate to The Annales Medico-Psy ychologique their conclusions upon the relations existing be- tween malaria and certain disorders of the mind, from which it appears that violent mania may accompany an attack of inter- mittent fever in predisposed persons, and that old subjects of malaria, with masked manifestations, are liable to recurrent intel lectual disturbance, or to chronic insanity. Quinine gives good results in intermittent mania and its convalescence. Itis apparently of no value in the chronic cases, but even in these the drug may quiet transient attacks of agitation as if they were masked phe- nomena of the disease.-C Chicago News.

Mexico. rhre. Distinct Climates.

Mexico is physically country of enormous extent, and of at least three distinct climates, the hot, or coast climate, the temperate, or tableland climate, and the cold, or mountain climate. It produces the coffee bean and barley, vanilla and wheat, tobacco and cab bages, ebony and mahogany, and pine and cedar. You can change your climate radically in less than fourteen hours by means of the railways penetrating the hot country: you can leave the City of Mexico on a winter morning wearing warm over trees drinking iced lemonade and wearing a thin linen coat. Having tried the experi- ment speak from personal knowledge. You may. contrariwise, leave the orange groves and coffee plantations of Cordoba and ride up into a region of sharp, chilly winds and occasional frosts, and this inside fourteen hours.-Cor.

Jews Freedom from Inebriety.

Says Dr. Norman Kerr, the well known writer on physiological aspects of inebriety: eThe temperance of the Jews is proverbial. Extensive as my professional intercourse has been with them, have never been consulted for inebriety in the person of a Jew, while my advice has been sought for this complaint by very large number of Christians. In my opinion their general freedom from inebriety in almost every cline and under almost all conditions (there are very few exceptions to this rule) is as much due to racial as to hy- gienic, and more to racial than to religious Influences"

 Nature in her all enfolding beneficence. here has trees which form roof corner posts and studding, only requiring clapboards to close them in, and as if realizing that fresh circulating air is best, hints of living under them just as they are. The giant ceiba sends out from it's base great plank like buttresses. which form stalls in which to stable cattle.
 A wide spreading, low branching tree-it might be an oak except for the curious wheel like fruit tipping the branchlets, green and poison when young, gray and explosive when ripe-the fruit is capsule made up of deeply grooved series of nuts, flat and round, disposed on edge In circle, clinging to a central disk which is hollowed and par titioned; when fully ripe the capsule ex- plodes with a report like a pistol, and the nutlets scattered far and wide, open and let the kernels drop-a reasonable way in which nature provides for the replanting of new trees This fruit is called the ''sand box,n because in old pre-blotter times they were used to hold black iron ore sand, with which writing was sanded instead of plotted Even now by loading the fresh dry capsules with lead, so as to prevent its explosion, they form quaint paper weights.

A VEGETABLE TOOTH BRUSH.

A VEGETABLE TOOTH BRUSH.
 The chaw stick is vegetable tooth brush. The negroes here noted for fine white teeth, and often you will see them with a piece of chaw stick in the mouth. The plant has a flexible stem which climbs by tendrils This looks like hcorice root. This cut into six inch lengths, the ends chewed, furnish a fibrous vegetable brush. It contains an aro- matic, slightly bitter principle allied to soap in it's effect; hence chewing it, as we say of a favorite dentifrice, makes the teeth clean, the mouth sweet, the breath fragrant The colored folks at public festivals sell small beer of various favors on the street, and with this chaw stick they give it froth.
 The children have living fountain of chewing gum trees. There is in the hospital grounds fine example of ficus Indica, the fig which yields India rubber. The leaves large, oval, thick, shining and vivid green; the roots spread over much surface. The chil- dren scrape off little bark, the milk flows, and they let it run over the fingers and palms When saw this done l thought it would be long job to get those hands free from the sticky stuff. But To! on exposure to the air few minutes. rubbing the hands together meanwhile, the milk became dark gray and presently peeled off and left the skin as clean as If washed with soap. A vast Improvement over soap and towels.
 The boys find ready grown marbles, vel low, gray and red, hiding from them in the thickest of goulandia, or Bonduc vines. Each prickly pod has from one to three "nickers," or nuts-hard, round and smooth. Necklaces, brooches and ear rings are also formed of them.
