At Damariscotta mills, Me.
One of the Most Remarkable Cures
of Blood Poisoning ever
Accomplished.

"The statement which here make may seem
too extraordinary to be true. But will tell my
story plainly and truthfully, and refer for corrob

am now "a years of age, and IA years ago be-
gan to have epileptic fits, caused by injuries
to the spine received by fall. Some nine years
ago, by advice of physician, began to tax a bro

my nerves. This being. as am told. 'cumula-

Slowly but surely they spread over my body. 1

very severe under my knees, and when walked
blood would start from them and mark on the
floor my path from room to room. AT length the
cords became contracted so that could no longer
walk, and was obliged in despair to take to my
bed from which never expected to rise. Except.
ing my head hands. feet and breast, 1 was liter
ally covered with sores, constantly discharging
corruption. No words can convey an idea of the
terrible sufferings endured, as my condition was
almost too terrible to describe.

such pain that could sleep only when became
totally exhausted and relapsed into unconscious
ness. In September, 1886, asked mother If
could try Hoods Sarsaparilla, as we had read of
its remarkable success. When on the fifth bottle
we noticed that the sores seemed to look better,
and the flesh under them natural. The smaller
sores gradually healed up, and even the more
stubborn ones were forced at last to yield to the
medicine. New and healthy skin formed. My
appetite came back to me, ate well, and in

WORK IN MUNGARY,

WORK IN HUNGARY.
 There are worse countries to live in than this for those who have to work with their hands. A factory inspector has been recent ly appointed by the Hungarian government for the purpose of gathering statistics bear- ing upon the condition of the working classes in that kingdom and his first report brings ont certain facts which are of more than local interest. While the entire industries of Hungary have not been investigated sufi- cient number of the districts have been coy- cred to gather fair estimate of the whole. The report says that in factories of all kinds there are employed thirty-eight women to every hundred men, proportion of female service very much larger than that of this country, for according to the census of 1880 there were with us less than twenty women employed to every hundred men.
 In Hungary the work in the tobacco and textile industries is very largely performed by female labor and In the bent wood furni- ture factories women also predominate. The hours of daily service average about eleven, though in the paper and glass factories they frequently extend from fourteen to eighteen hours per diem. Sunday labor is rare throughout Hungary except where the work must be carried on continuously. In this respect the working people of Hungary are much more favorably situated than many of their fellow-workers in Germany and possi- bly, most of their fellow-workers in France. The average daily wages in all branches of work, and for both male and female service, runs from about thirty to fifty cents day.
 No wonder the Hungarians come to this country and gladly work for what is small pay here. It seems large to them and they can get rich upon it. The workingmen of this country haxe reason to be thankful that their lot is cast here.s And we believe that they are not going to run any risk of hurting their chances by voting against protection.

The strain imposed upon the voice by the structure of Wagner's operas frequently comes up for discussion The writer of a shrewd article in .the Atlantic says: The Wagner school of music has proved itself the arch enemy of the human voice and of all rational modes fer its development. The un- natural demands made upon the vocal organs through Wagner's total ignorance of the art of singing, and the abnormal development of the orchestra through the impatient yearn- ings of his unique soul, have banished for the time all melody in music; and as Wagner's utterances are the outcome of an age of noise and hurry, of ruined faith and tragedies of passion, his genius must have it's day and work it's full measure of harm upon the voices chosen for the inhuman task of per- sonating his superhuman creations.

 Britain adds $8o,00 more, to keep their steamers afioat in the Pacific, aiding the Canadian Pacific to take the through trade of American lines. The Boston Traveller calls attention to the fact "that when our own solitary fine on the Pacific succumbs to this subsidized competition because our gov ernment refuses to aid it, we shall expect the free trade journals to declare that the result is due to protection, when the real reason will be the absence of protection which free trade England gives it's steamship lines the world over.
