"A Good Name

At home is tower of strength abroad, is fully
verified by the history of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The first words of commentator and praise
for this medicine was received from our
friends and neighbors, and from the time it
was fairly introduced up to the present, there
has been, and is now, more of Hoods Sarsapa-
than all other sarsaparillas and blood purifiers
combined. Whole neighborhoods are taking II
at the same time, and 1t has effected many re-
markable cures in the Spindle City. The 'sgood
name" among people who have known Hood s
Sarsaparilla and its proprietors for years should
certainly be strong evidence to people in other
cities and towns of the excellence and merit of
this medicine
And that it has proven a s'tower of strength
abroad" is shown by the wonderful increase
in the sales of Hoods Sarsapar:lla all over the
country. The public confidence has never been
so quickly gained or SO firmly held by any
medicine as by Hoods SarsapariIls

Railroads In the Far North,

People who think of Finland as a sub
arctic country of bleak and forbidding
aspect may be surprised to hear that
several railroads have already made a
large part of the region accessible. A
new line, 100 miles long, has just been
opened to the heart of the country in
the midst of great forests and
perhaps the most wonderful lake
region in the world. Sports
men are now within less than days
Journey from ST. Petersburg, of Central
Finland, where there is the best of hunt
ing and fishing and twenty hours of
sunlight every summer day. The most
unique of railroads, however, is still the
little line in Norway, north of the Arc
tic Circle, carrying the product of far
northern mines to the sea, and famous
as the only railroad that has yet invaded
the polar regions.-N. Y. Sum. 81

WlLKlE COLLINS FAILURE,

He Came to America to Read but was
Compelled to Quit.
In 1878 Mr.. Collins visited the United
States and was cordially received, al
though his public readings from his
novels were not successful. His appear
ance in Philadelphia was notable one.
Mr.. Collins had appeared two nights be-
fore for the first time, in Albany, and
there were mysterious hints given out
that he had greatly disappointed his
hearers and saddened the hearts of his
managers. In Horticultural Hall, how
ever, he was welcomed by very large
audience, and very friendly one, rep
resenting the culture of this city. The
programme called for the reading of an
original ghost story. Some peculiar
English paraphernalia in the way of an
odd-looking sounding board, made of red
muslin, and a little desk, were the great
novelist's environment, and he was
earnestly admonished, before going on
the platform, that he must keep up his
voice and read slowly and distinctly.
His reception was most cordial, and
every thing started off we'll, but in less
than ten minutes the readers voice sank
almost to muffied undertone. What
the story was about not one-third of
those present could tell, and those in the
front seats who could hear seemed to be
more disguised than those in the rear.
a hour passed, when the reader, unfor-
Iunately for himself, took a recess.
When he returned nearly one-half his
audience had disappeared, among them
the leading representatives and editors
of the Philadelphia newspapers, and
some from New York. Mr.. Collins plod
ded along until the weary end, and it
was the end of himself as we'll as his
ghost" in this country. He had bank
rupted his managers, and a few DAYS
later, after making formal appearance.
with like i'll success, in two or three
other towns, he set sail for England. a
sadly disappointed man. The press al
most with one accord declared him the
worst of bad lot of English platform
readers who at that time were making
annual raids upon the finances of the
American people.-Philadelphia Record

THE woopcocks BEAK.

Something About One of the Oldest mo".
bers Of the Bird Family.
These long-beaked, migratory birds,
which are as interesting to the gour-
mand as to the hunter, are in Germany
only for a short time in the spring and
fall, during their passage through the
country. The woodcocks remain con-
,ealed in the darkness of the woods all
day and do not leave their hiding place
until it begins to grow dark; then, in
the spring, they fly in zig gags around
the edges of the woods, often in twos or
threes, finally coming to the open, damp
places of the woods, to the pastures, or
to the edges of water lying near the
woods, in search of food, which prefera-
bly consists of different kinds of worms
and insect larvae. In the morning twi-
light the woodcock repeats this zig-zag
flight and searching for worms. At
their breeding places they fly In the
same way again as soon as the young
brood is able to take care Of itself, but
in the late fall the birds seldom move
in this way. They then generally hurry
to the feeding places.
In these places where the ground is
perforated by numerous small holes,
each having diameter about equal to
that of thin lead pencil, which are
formed by the continuous pushing in and
pulling out of the woodcock's long bill.
The sensitive soft point of the upper
bill forms feeling apparatus with the
help of which the bird discovers the
worm under the surface of the ground.
He possesses the power of arching the
upper part of the bill from the middle of
it's length and then closing the points so
as to grasp the worm. This curving is
caused by the displacement of part OF
the jaw bones and the elasticity of the
long upper jaw brings it back into place.
This popularity was known to hunters
as early as the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Won GOchhausen
Nat. Venat., 171O) wrote as follows on
the subject: ''This bird can when
searching with his long beak in 4
swamp and finding worm) press the
points of his bill together for about a
fingers width, and then separate it be-
yond like nippers," etc.
This and other writings have been
forgotten, because the curving of the
bill generally occurs while working I'M
der the surface of the ground, and con-
sequentfy tame birds are seldom seen to
do it. Long years ago the writer had
the good fortune to see this movement
made by tame bird, and published an
account of his observations in 1865. As
already stated, the birds sometimes
curve their bills when not working in
the ground, particularly when devour-
ing large worms.
The woodcock does not live long in
captivity, his inclination to migrate
shows itself continually, but he is not
afraid of men and never fails to eat the
worm which is thrown to him. In spite
of his voracity, however, the woodcock
generally grows thin, when in captivity,
and finally dies.-Illustrirte Zeitung.
