Blood. The thought is terrible; the
trouble is worse. No ordinary help can
remove it. 1t requires something un.
usual. Do not take cheap sarsaparillas
or blood purifiers. You must have some
thing that has proven its power in both
Europe and America. General Wheat
croft Nelson, of London, says: "My
experience in the English army, as well
as in America, convinces me that NOTHING
so thoroughly purifies the blood, or adds
TO the health, vigor and life, as DR..
Acker's English Blood Elixir"
This grand Elixir is sold by druggists
In all parts of America. It is a good,
pure. honest medicine. Try it to-day.

THE DAILY
THE NEW AMERICAN RECI-
PROCITY PLAN.

Reciprocity" says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, " is in the air" 1t
was debated in the Senate in the
shape of amendments to the tariff
bill, offered by Senators Hale,
Aldrich and Sherman. The debate
was, however, by no means q
thorough one. The subject came
up in the closing hours of the gen
eral discussion on the House bill,
and in the face of the fact that
everybody was anxious to bring
the long session to a close, and that
the friends of the bill are particu-
larly DESTROYS of reaching the final
stage of enactment.
Reciprocity is not a new idea in
international economics. Many
treaties have been negotiated with
the object of securing it. 1t is not,
however, so familiar a term as to
be entirely clear to the popular un-
derstanding. The following detinl-
ton of it is quoted from the Cen
fury Dictionary"
Reciprocity, in political science,
is the term usually applied to the
principle of securing, in commercial
treaties between nations, mutual
advantages to the same extent,
e. G., the admission mutually of
certain goods, supposed to be prac-
tically equivalent to each other,
duty free or at equal duties on i'm
portation."
This is commercial reciprocity as
defined by an authority, and this is
the principle which Mr.. Blaine
seeks to have applied to certain
articles which enter into the COM
mercial transactions between the
United States and other countries
on this continent. His idea is that
we ought to broaden our foreign
market, and that the best way to
broaden our foreign market is by a
system of reciprocity by which We
shall be able to introduce some Of
our products and manufactures into
the Central and South American
States in return for admitting their
sugar, hides, coffee, etc, free.

It Is great disappointment to a person
who goes abroad hoping TO see places of
which he has read and to find them cx-
actly as he has imagined them, when he
discovers that time has worked great
changes, and sometimes unpleasant ones,
with the homes OF famoGs men and women.
A great many interesting places may he
seen by the traveller Who spends few days
in Geneva and its vicinity. In the old part
of Geneva is Calvin's house, in narrow
dingy street.
Rousseau's house is another which tour
lists feel obliged to hunt up. though they
usually view it from a respectful distance,
for it is at present occupied by a large
family, whose appearance at the windows
is apt TO lee disconcerting. Rousseau's
island, represented as being such a ro-
mantle spot, is at present most unat-
tractive place, q misc-a be restaura being
the most prominent object on it, and there
is always tribe o. women and children
sitting about, ready to beg of the unwary
traveller the minute he approaches.
Then from Geneva one can go easily to
Coppet TO see Nine. dc Staels country
home, where there ia q quaint chateau,
with beautiful park. gardens and farm,
and also to Ferney, the old home of Vol
taire. where, in 17GS, he established the
mandatory of watches. which gave en-
ployment to 500 people, and brought the
place from miserable hamlet to a state
of prosperity
In Noltaire's sitting room there is curl
Gus urn, bearing 2 French inscription, and
really said to contain the heart of the
brilliant, skeptical Freedman. The in
dignation OF the old man who shows visit
Ors through the rooms il any one suggests
the possibility of She hearts not being

that he knows the truth OF what be ailirms.
