HE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.

Robert Stewart, OF Petaluma, recently had a
queer experience. He writes:
"Carbuncle and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks. Finally procured bottle
of one of the leading sarsaparillas. To my
surprise it made matters worse. This made
me lose faith in sarsaparillas, but seeing q
statement that joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
dried up boils and face eruptions instead Of
forcing moro out as the potash sarsaparillas
do, bought bottle. The effect was aston
ishing. The carbuncles and boils began to dry
up, and in two weeks my face was swell and
smooth''as ever. My brother also took bottle
with the same benefit. ROBERT STEWART,
''Petaluma, Cal. /"
Explanatory Note-The mineral iodide Of
potash, which is the basis of nearly all other
sarsaparillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces Impurities through the skin, creating
more boils and pimples. joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla acts OppOsitely. Its vegetable alter
atives stimulate the various secretive organs
and thus eliminate all impurities through the
natural channels, hence dries NJ pimples and
skin eruptions at once. The above tsstimOn-
ial is case in point.

THE Y. W. C. T. U. EXCURSION.
A Pleasant Evening and a Good Enter
tainment.

The moonlight excursion to Knappa on
thursday evening planned and executed
by the young ladies of the Y. w. G. L. T..
proved to be very enjoyable affair, and a
pecunlary success. About two hundred
ladies and gentlemen took possession of
the spacious saloon of the steamer S. @.
Reed which had been chartered for the
occasion, and promptly at half past seven
O'Clock she cast off her lines; making a
quick run of about 40 minutes, to the
hnappa landing. On their arrival the
visitors were welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Knapp. On repairing to the hall they
found 1t handsomely decorated, and
through the kindness of Mrs. Knapp
everything ready for the advent of the
famous and renowned Peak Sisters.
About fifty of the citizens of Knappa
and vicinity had already taken their
seats and when the two hundred Asto-
rlans were added to these standing room
was at premium.
After short Introductory literary and
musical performances, the Peake Sisters
appeared upon the stage in their varied
grotesq1e costumes, each carrying in one
hand band-box and in the other a mu-
slcal instrument of some kind, bnt no
two alike. The programme was SO cley-
-
had special solo part to perform.
Each one performed her part so
well as to be deserving of special men
ton but space will not permit. Enough
to say that the audience manifested their
appreciation of the performance by
roars of laughter and rounds of applause.
A most enjoyable time was had during
the passage home, the members of the
society sparing no pains to make every
body happy. The disappointment ex-
perienced by not being able to secure a
band was overcome by the presence of
so many competent performers on the
various and numerous musical instru-
ments carried along. When
the Reed reached her dock at half
past twelve the excursionists
stepped ashore, unanimous in the opin-
ion that full value had been received for
the time and money spent.
We are informed that the young la
dies intend to repeat the performance in
this city at Rescue hall on Thursday
evening, the 18th inst, for the benefit of
the Rescue club.

IN BEHRLNG SEA.

A wELL-POsTED department official says,
in reference to the Behring sea oontro-
yersy: "There is nothing for the govern
ment to do in Connection with the Beh-
ring sea matter but to continue to en-
force the law, capturing as many pirat-
ical sealers as they find within our jur-
isdiction. The bluster IN Canada does
not even excite interest in the state or
treasury departments. When the British
government communicates with US on
the subject officially it will be time
enough for the state department TO take
the matter up. There is not the least
probability of war, but if there were, it
would place England in a very awkward,
not to say dangerous position. The
policy heing carried out with regard to
these seal fisheries was adopted only
after a careful inquiry into the matter.
The house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, last season made a
thorough investigation of the question,
the result of which was seen in the act
reaffirming our rights over these waters.
Before President Harrison issued his
proclamation of April, this act and every
thing pertaining to the legal aspect of
the question was referred to the attorney
general, and there is perfect agreement
between the state and treasury depart
ments and the department of justice"
Congressman Farquhar, who was a
member of the committee in the house
that formulated the bill, says this coun-
try would go right on asserting and
maintaining its jurisdiction over the Beh-
ring sea fisheries, and England can't say
a word in earnest about the matter.
Russia stands ready to make good our
title derived by purchase from her.
Great Britain cannot afford to antagon-
ize two great nations like Russia and
the United States. There is no doubt
about Russia's disposition in the matter.
She guaranteed us title, and England
cannot seriously question that title with
out antagonizing Russia. If she went in
to fight she would have two antagonists.
This is all well understood in England,
as well as in Russia and America.

A NEW scheme to induce warm-hearted
persons to open their pocket-books has
been exposed in Atlanta, Ga. The scheme
was worked 10y a man and his wife. The
latter went from house to house asking for
money with which to bury her husband.
She received several contributions, but
one lady, doubling her story. said: 'I'll
go to your home with you" She did so, and
to her great surprise found the husband
laid out on table with a white sheet
thrown over him. She was much moved
10y the sight, and, pulling out her purse
gave the widow several dollars in
small change. After leaving the house
the lady discovered that she had forgot
ten her handkerchief, and returned to
get it. Upon re-entering the room she
was shocked to see the "dead man" sit
ting up counting the money.

A NEW work on evolution denies that
man was evolved from the monkey, but
on the contrary asserts that man and
monkey both came from the same parent
stem. They represent the two stages of
development, one upward and the other
downward, of the human species. He
figures out that the prehistoric being
who was the father of the human race,
as well as of the monkey tribe, was a
Chinaman. If the best that science
can do is to force us to choice between
a monkey and a Chinaman for an ances-
tor, the world will prefer to stick to the
old orthodox doctrine of mans origin.
And, after all, it isn't SO much question
with US as to whence We came as it is to
know whittier we're going.

curious trade was mixed up in couple
of years ago in Michigan. 1 was in the
livery business, and a stranger brought in a
nice-looking horse, which he offered me for
mere song. The price seemed so low that
I fell into the trap, but soon discovered
that owned an animal that no spurs in the
state could goad into so much as trot.
l traded him off to a doctor who prided him
self on being able to ride any horse that
could be saddied. | spread report that
the animal was a holy terror, and that no
man had ever managed to ride him. The
report reached the DOCTORS ears, as l ex-
pected it would, and he soon made bet
that he could ride the horse. The parties
to the wager came round, and, as the
doctor liked the looks of the brute, i soon
persuaded him to trade a very decent driv-
ing horse forSit. I warned the doctor
against riding the horse through the streets,
and he said he would try it on quiet road.
Well, he won the bet, and the next day
asked me if world trade back, if he gave
me $50 to boot. I agreed. and he told me l
had better send wagon to his place for the
alleged bucker could never walk back.
He paid the money over and took away his
horse. When l sent for the animal which
had caused all the sport, / found l had
traded for dead horse, which / had the
privilege of burying. The doctor had felt
so sore about the trade the previous even
ing that he had shot the alleged high
spirited brute the minute he had succeeded
in dragging it to his own stable.-Alfred
H. Parsons in St.Louis Globe Democrat.
