BAD COMPETITIONS.
The Secret Of Their Cause Fully Explained
why Ladies' are sailow and Men Paiiid
Some Valuable Facts on the Subject.

In passing along the leading streets In almost any
city in America today, one will meet with but few
ladies who have clear compilations. Many persons
have tried TO account for this sad fact because Of
the severe climate OF America, but such reasoning
is wrong bad complexion is caused by impure
blood, and no lady can be really beautiful and no
man ruddy who has diseased or impure blood.
The best known way OF keeping the blood pure Is
by keeping 1t circulating. In this way II passes
rapidly through the lungs kidneys and liver, and
is constantly purified. But supposing the system
Is clogged up, as Is frequently the case then Of
course the blood becomes impure. Then far too
often men and women take some powerful purga-
tive pill or other substance, that clears the body
quickly, wcakens the strength, and leaves the sys-
tenn IN worse condition than before. The only SEN
sble way Is 10 take gentle, pure and natural pur
gatiye, moderately but regularly. and the highest
known medical authorities OF the day agree that
the genuine imported Carlsbad sprude Salt Is in
lnltely superior TO any other natural preparation
known to the world. II Is gentle, yet stimulating;
It IS pure yet powerful. Containing only natural
properties, being eyapoated from the celebrated

A Neo oil light was shown In public
near London recently. II Is stated
that the principal feature OF this new
light Is the mods Of evaporizing the
oil aud preventing its escape In the
form OF spray, or, In abort, the method
OF obtaining complete combustion.
Creosote oil Is ordinarily used, and
after q small quantity OF spirit has
been poured ON the surface OF the oil
contained In the well Of the lamp, o
light Is applied, and the radiating
covers put on. Compressed air Ii then
turned on, which, passing by means OF q
mail Jet through the centre Of the
flame and over the surface OF the oil In
the well, forms q high temperature and
also produces an induced current, which
raises the gas Of the heated oil, and at
the same time draws in the necessary
supply Of air to complete perfect COM
bustion and produce . powerful light.
The well Of the lamp IL connected with
Q tank or reservoir, insuring > constant
supply OF oil. The flame forced up
from the lamp emits no smoke, and the
light, though naked, does not dazzle
the eyes. The light ID chiefly intended
for industrial work on Q large scale,
such - in connection with railways,
docks and buildings, when the illumi-
nation Of large spaces In the open air
or under cover 1s required. Either
common creosote oil. crude petroleum,
or any other heavy hydrocarbons may
be used.

A o of Pirates.

The death of Mr.. Jacob Anderson,
which has been recorded in the Gazette,
recalls the capture of the brig Mexican
by pirates fifty six years ago, he being
one of the crew at the time OF
the occurrence. The Salem Gazette
Of October 10th, 1882. contains an ac-
count Of the affair, while the Gazette
of August 20, 1881, gives an account
Of the examination Of the pirates, who,
having been captured, were landed at
Crowninshield's wharf (now Phillip,s)

and ended by setting the vessel on fire
in the cabooSe house. In this sorry
plight they deserted the brig, leaving
the crew to a horrible fate. But they
neglected to secure a cabin scuttle, and
through this the crew escaped and ex-

reached Salem Captain Butman i'm.

There has lately been invented a new
system Of synchronism which, it Is
claimed, Will make 1t cheaper to tele-
graph messages than to mail them. DR..
J. Harris Rogers, OF Washington, d.
O., is the inventor. and he claims that
the world will be almost revolutionized
by his discovery. The new system,
Mr.. Rogers says. reduces the English
alphabet to ten elementary characters.
The messages are prepared by means o!
q machine resembling q typewriter and
manipulated in the same manner.
With the use Of ten keys, one for each
character, any desirable message can
be written. a test Of the new appara'
tus was held in New York q few days
ago. and q messageo Of seventy-six words
sent over in twenty-five seconds and
printed on q tape In plain Roman charac-
tiers. The inventor says that he can
by this system make n wire do the
work that ten do now by the system In
vogue.
