The remarkable effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
the following case illustrates the power of this
medicine over all blood diseases:
"My son, years old, had white swelling
come on his right leg below the knee which con-
tracted the muscles so that his leg was drawn up
at right angles. Physicians ianced the swelling,
which discharged freely, but did not help him
materially. considered him
A Confirmed Cripple.
I was about to take him to Cincinnati for an op-
eration, expecting his leg would have to be taken
of, and began giving him Hoods sarsaparilla in
order to get up his strength. The medicine woke
up his appetite, and soon pieces Of bone were
discharged from the sore. We continued with
Hoods sarsaparilla, as 1t seemed to be doing him
so much good, and the discharge from the sore
decreased, the swelling went down, the leg
Strengthened out, and in few months he had

SHEDDING HIS ANTlERS,
How the Great Elk stag Loses His Beau
ty i'm the Spring.

How the Great Elk stag Loses His Beau
ty i'm the Spring.
Come with me and | will show you
something curious" said Dan Neeson,
the keeper Of the deer park at Golden
Gate Park, to a reporter. "Our great
elk stag, the one we got few months
ago from Menlo Park. has shed his
horns and you would notrecognize him. :"
On reaching the fence that surrounded
the pen, the elk was found at the fodder
trough calmly eating his dinner of
cracked barley, and apparently oblivi-
Gus to the curious crowd that surround
ed him. He was hardly recognizable.
The magnificent antlers that had rem
dered him the admiration of the visit
ors were missing, and nothing remained
but raw, blood-marked hubs. The elk
was as docile as a COW, and submitted
without opposition TO the caresses of the
crowd, and appeared to thoroughly enjoy
their stockings.
''He shed his horns on Saturday morn
ing" continued the keeper "Of late
he has been more than usually fero-
cious, in fact so much so that it was dan
gerous to my life to enter the pen to
feed the deer. On Friday he would not
allow me to. enter the Enclosure at all.
On Saturday morning | failed to find
him in his usual place, and on my way
to the deer-bouse to hunt him up came
across one of his antlers in the gulley,
and within short distance | found the
other. i then knew what was the mat
ter, and entering boldly into the house
| found him standing with the deer
COW. as quiet and docile as child.
Why, he then ate some food out of my
hand. | took the antiers to the super
intendent's office, where they now are"
At the office the antlers were seen,
and magnificent set they are, having
on the beam horn six protuberances,
one for each year of the stays age.
They weighed seventy pounds, and
when set in position measured seven
feet from tip to tip on the spread.
New antlers will begin to grow on the
stag by the middle of March, and will
increase rapidly in length until teey at
tain full size.-San Francisco Examiner.

SklLLFUL SAVAGES.
Wonderful Aptitude of the Natives of the
EouPo Counfry.


Congo Country.
The Congo country in Central Africa
is, perhaps, the most talked-of country
on the globe just now. We are looking
toward it as the land of untold wealth
and resources, and wonder what kind of
a republic will be founded within it's
borders.
Not the least wonderful object in this
PARKWAY land are the natives. Mr.. Her
bert Ward tells us that the villages are
deserted almost every morning, as the
people go out to their plantation to
work on which the women work as hard
as the men. The natives of the Congo
country are still in savage condition,
but Mr.. Ward tells us some surprising
things about them. He says that in
their villages the center of activity is
the blacksmith-shop. This shop is a
roof of grass supported on poles. The
bellows are of skin and wood; the tools,
hammers that resemble doctors pesties
of varying weights, cups made of clay
for melting ores, and an anvil. The
workers take the ore as 1T is
dug, and there, under the grass
roof, with these rude tools
the metal passes through every
stage, and leaves the workers hand
finished tool, spear, knife, arrowhead,
or any instrument designed by the work
err. They work in clay with the same
ease, and without tools that in civilized
countries are supposed to be necessary
to such manufacture. The lump of clay
becomes in a short time a finished yes
sci, even decorative, SO perfectly and
neatly is it finished; they do not even
have molds to shape the clay.
Mr.. Ward tells us that these people
take no measurements, that they rely
on their eve and hand. They have
made guns, beginning with wood and
metal in it's original state in the tree
and ore, and made their tools as they
needed them, adapting the tool as they
discovered its need.
OF the young people, Mr.. Ward says
that they engage in the same line OF
work as their parents or masters, and
they are cheerful and light-hearted, en-
tering with enthusiasm into their
games. bird-trapping and hunting. One
of their amusements is playing at war.
Some of the tribes make commercial
contracts that might be called protective
measures. One tribe makes contract
to engage in agricultural pursuits, while
the other tribe, party TO the contract,
engages TO confine its energies to pot
tery-making, and not to engage In agrl-
culture in any form; and they keep
these contracts honorably. A railroad
is now being built through the Congo
country, and this will in few years
stop slave-trading and cannibalism.-

SUBSTITUTE FOR FELT.
A New Material of Which Hatters Have
just Gotten Hold.

just Gotten Hold.
Many of the cheap derby hats that
will be worn on the streets of St Louis
this spring will be made of a new ma
terial of which the hatters have just got
hold. The stuff is called linters. 1t is
the short cotton left on the seed after
the cotton has been ginned by the cot
ton-raiser. He sells his cotton to the
merchant, and the seed to a mill that
makes cotton-seed oil. The miller puts
the seed through another gin, specially
made to clean short cotton from the
seed. In an oil mill of small capacity
several bales of cotton are ginned from
the seed in this way. The fiber is
broken and very short, and up to a few
months ago the mills sold it to stuff
bedding with. It's price was about half
that of average cotton. The negroes in
the South we're the buyers generally,
but occasionally the mills would get
good. big order from concerns that made
pillows and mattresses Suddenly
somebody found out that il could be
made to initiate felt for cheap hats.
The experiment then of making hats Of
linters was tried on a large scale this
winter by New York factory, and the
hats were sold to retailers for introduce
ton very cheaply. The test showed
that the hats stood wear. and the oil
mills we're at once called on by the
manufacturers to make contracts for all
the linters they could get of the cot
ton-seed. Now linters has gone away
up in price, and is only few cents
pound cheaper than cotton The dis
covery is likely to have lowering ef-
feet upon the kind of derbies which
have sold for three dollars, and in fact
some merchants are already using the
linters derbies as leaders" for their
other goods, selling them at half the
cost of the felt hat-St Louis Globe
