ScrofuIa Humor

ssMy Daughters Life was Saved.o
"In regard to my little daughter, whose life
was saved, as we believe, by Hoods Sarsaparilla
1 would say that before she was six months old
scrofula sores began to appear on different plrts
of her body, and in a short time she bad running
sores. Two physicians were called but they gave
us no hope. One of them advised the amputation
of one of her fingers, to which we refused ascent.
Our attention was called to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
aud we began giving it to her. A marked i'm
provement was noticed after she had taken only
one bottle, and bya continued use OF it her re-
covery was complete. And she is now, being
seven years old, strong and healthy. The other
members of my family have been greatly bene-
nted by Hoods Sarsaparilla, aud recommend 1t
as an excellent blood purifier" B. c. JONES,

scrofuIa in the Eyes.
my daughter suffered terribly with sore eyes,
caused by scrofula humor. We were obliged to
keep her out of school for two years. We had
medical attendance, but she failed to gain relief.
At last, knowing that Hoods Sarsaparilla had
cured my mother of rheumatism, and believing it
must be good for the blood, 1 concluded to have
my daughter try it, and it has entirely cured her."

What Makes a Cat Tread Softly.

"Grandpa, what makes cat tread
softly?" asked little Tommy Findout OF
his aged relative, as the pair sat down
to improve their minds when the even
ing lamps were lighted.
1T is faculty provided by an all
wise Creator, my son, which enables
the cat to walk softly" replied the old
man, as he laid down his paper and
beamed on the youthful seeker after
knowledge.
"All members of the cat tribe are en-
dowed with a noiseless tread, which
greatly facilitates their capturing their
prey. You have doubtless noticed
that the pedal extremities of the feline
are furnished with soft, velvety balls
or coverings instead of hoofs. These
balls extend below the claws, which
are drawn up when not in use, enab-
ling the cat to walk across board
floor without the slightest noise.
"Oh, that isn't what makes cat
tread SOFTLY" said Tommy, when the
old man had finished.
No? What is it, then?' asked
grandpa.
Rats" replied the boy, while hap
py, happy smile lit up his ingenious
face.-ChicdgO Times.

ceaied his identity under the imposing
name of Cyclops. They have been per-
forming at the Westminster Aquarium,
and sending out all sorts of challenges
from the stage to men who labor under
the hallucination that they can lift ton
or two with comparative ease. Finally,
after Sampson had offered a prize of s 40
to the man who could do the feats done
by Cyclops, his pupil and 81, 800 to any
better man than himself who might turn
up, Eugene Sandow undertook the task.
He fairly won the premiums offered by
Sampson, but the latter, probably through
chagrin, refused to hand over the money.
Some highly amusing stories are told
about these contests. Sampson, who Is
not the hercu can person IN appearance
that his feats would seem to imply, is a
native of Metz, the son OF a French
mother and q Spanish Iather. He speaks
seven languages, plays sonatas on the
piano with the delicate touch of girl,
and has biceps measuring AZ inches in
repose and l95 inches when he wrestles
with an iron rod or wire rope. His
chest measurement is "A inches, but when
he initiates his lungs he adds several
inches to his figure. Cyc!ops, his
pnpil, is q years of age, and a mag
niticent specimen of physical develop
ment.
Sandowss Pomeranian, and was born
at konigsberg twenty-five years ago. For
four years he has been trained by Prof.
Attila, one of the best-known athletic
teachers in Germany. His development
is superior to that of Sampson, his chest
measurement being 45s inches, and his
biceps and forearm each from / to Il
inches larger than those of his rival. He
weighs 2G2 pounds when in condition.
Sandow performed in London before the
leading sporting men of England, eclips-
ing SIMPSONS most difficult feats, break
ing chain bracelets ard wire ropes with
his forearms, and bending heavy iron
rods by striking them across his chest, his
arms and his thighs. The bracelet chains,
which had n resistance of $500 pounds,
were snapped like pipe-stems. Among
those who witnessed these extraordinary
trials of strength were the Marquis of
Queensbury, Lord de Clifford and Cap
tam Molesworth, who acted as Judges.
