Three Peculiarities

Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier
and regulating medicine, is characterized by
three peculiarities, namely:
HN%u The combination of the various
hSk ~ remedial agents used.
ri. The proportion in which the roots,
GO 3 herbs, barks, etc., are mixed.
AE The process by which the active
gu medicinal properties are secured.
The result is amedicine of unusual strength
and curative power, which effects cures here

INFECTION IN BOOKS.
A Source OF Contasion which Has Hilbert
B~en Neglected.

source OF Contagion which Has Hitherto
b~en Neglected.
Since IL has become pretty well
established that most, IL not all, OF our
so-called infectious and contagious
diseases, such ~ scarlet-fever, diph-
theria, measles, ard possibly typhoid
fever, are produced and conveyed from
one person to another by means of
minute vegetable germs much patient
study has been devoted TO the question
how these germs find their way int
the human body, and what precautions
should be taken TO avoid, rs far as pos
able. the danger OF infection.
The subject of the isolation of pa
tients suffering from contagious dis
eases has been discussed very thor
oughly IN medical societies and Jour
nals, and la some countries the most
stringent laws have been made In re-
gard 10 the isolation of the sick and
the fumigation of houses and clothing.
One source OF eontagion which now
seems seli-evldent, but which for a
long time escaped attention, is that of
books from public libraries, When we
consider that the volume which we are
seading may have been last in the
hands OF some one convaleseent from
dread disease, or that IL may have
been lying for days or weeks in rooms
FAR from clean in u medical sense. then
the possibility of danger becomes at
once apparent.
Some physicians will not permit
their children to take books out of the
public libraries. thinking II wiser to
avoid all risks.
1t is very possible. however. that the
danger is less than we should be led by
some To suppose. and that it Is more
necessary To prohibit the reading of
books for whose cleanliness we can not
souch. than it is To tell our children Ia
stop breathing, simply because they
undoubtedly take into their lungs "A,
every respiration some OF the germs
which are known to be constantly
foating through the air
Yet IL is safe to caution those who
read books that have been through
many hands not To moisten the finger
In turning the leaves, for II that be
done, there is afforded better oppor-
tnnity for the transfer into the body OF
any germ that may be clinging to the
volume.
On the other hand. II is to be re.
membered that We probably run no
greater risk in turning the leaves of "A
book. even though II has been in homes
OF doubtful sanitary condition, than We
DO In riding or walking beside people
about whose health we know nothing.

A NOTICEABLE ADVANCE IN THE
WHEAT MARKET.
While There has Been no Material OF
Startling Change In Quotations..
Business In all Lines Ia
Exceedingly Cocoa.

Commercial affairs present no new Oh
significant feature this week. The vol
ume OF trade in progress with hut few
exceptions is not only satisfactory, but
considerably in excess OF the correspond.
ing period OF last year, while there is an
abundance OF any feature that threatens
to disturb the future or interrupt the de-
veopment OF prosperity. The feeling Of
confidence that prevails is manifested by
the iberalty with which dealers have
replenished their stocks, while business
promises to he further stimulated in the
near future by the many visitors coming
to the Big Fair, and later on by the mere
rapid marketing OF the wheat crop. The
ire sh meat market has been very quiet
and there has been little alteration since
our last review. There is no specia!
change in groceries and provisions,
though lard, hams and bacon are in bet
ter demand The market continues firm
and active for fruits and vegetables.
The butter, produce and poultry market
continues strong. slight advance is
reported in Valley and Eastern Oregon

WHEN PEOPLE MARRY.
Some Valuable statistIcs In Regard to Men
and Women.

ana Wonebs
Thirteen per cent. of all the mel
married in Pennsylvania last veal
married women older than themselves
Seven per cent took wives OF theil
own ages. and the remaining 80 per
cent. married women younger than
themselves. The average age OF the
men was 81 years and of the women q
years. These interesting facts are
found In the annual report for 1888 OF
Secretary Of Internal Affairs Thomas
j. Stewart. which contains much other
curious information about the matri-
monial propcnsities OF Pennsylvania.
Thus 1t appears that more men are
married at the age OF % than at any
other, and that among women 81 is the
favorite age. The youngest wife of
1888 was only 10 years old. and the
oldest was aged II. Two boys 81 10

After the latter age the numbers of
those who found husbands rapidly do
cline, These figures show that il

time she is % years old the chances are
that she viii become AN old maid.
Meu proceed more leisurely about
ma,rimony. Besides the two i6-year-
old husbands Ia 1883 there were %
aged IL. i2s ~ years old, aud 325 ~
years old. The figures then take a
jump 20 6S7 at ~ and reach the maxi
mum 10 1865 at 80 They decrease
slowly after that There were 4S7
men married after they were 80 years
old. but only III women.
There was remarkable disparity in
the ages OF some of the couples. A
woman OF SO years married man OF

maiden Of "a. The youngest couple
were a l7-year-old husband and Is

a man 10 years older than herself A
man OF 81 married girl OF Is, his age
being just three times hers, and a man
OF ~ did nearly AS well. taking IL
year-oid wife.
In the marriages where the women
were older than the men the differences
In ages rarely exceeded i've years.
There were eighty-three marriages
where one OF the parties had previously
been divorced.
