1t is that impurity in the blood. which. accumu-
lating in the glands Of the neck, produces un
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on tho arms, legs. or feet; which
developes ulcers In the eyes, ears. nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimpes. cancerous growths. many other
manifestations usually ascribed TO humors"
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features Of both. Being tho most ancient,
1t Is the most general Of all diseases or affections
for very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
How can 1t be cured? BY taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures II has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaled and some Of the
cures 1t has effected really wonderful. II you
suffer from scrofula in any OF Its various FORMS
be sure to give Hoods sarsaparilia trial.

A Bird without a Name.

II is a curious fact that a bird which Is
more distributed over the surface Of the
earth than any other kind which is better
than any other, has in our language no
distinctive name. This defect in nornen-
clature seems still more strange when we
remember that this favorite bird has half a
dozen cousin species, every one Of which
reioices in a name that is all its own. The
nameless bird is the-weil, the barnyarl
bird about whose capabilities for broiling.
roasting and the like we usually care a
great deal more than we do about what we
shall call IL But isn't it queer that we
have no name for it,
Commonly we call the bird chicken.
That is clearly misnomer, unless we are
alluding TO the little fellows that have
lately emerged from the shell. An adult
of this species is as far from being q chicken
as man is from being baby. When we
want TO be specific about the sdult Of this
species we Americans call the male bird a
rooster and the female hen.
But these terms apply equally 20 many
other species Of birds. Probably the mos:
favored word for the species Is fowl: but
that is shooting very wide Of the marx
Webster's definition Of fowl Is "a yerte-
brate animal having two legs. and covered
with feathers or dcwE-a bird" Snake
spezre uses the simile, Like a fight Of

the rank of lieutenant in 1855 AT the out
break Of the civil war he was given COM

was dispatched after privateers, and he
took part in the expedition against Hat
teras inlet and the blockade of Whining
ton, \. c. He was next assigned TO the
gunboat Pequot, and was present at the
famous battle of Fort Fisher.
At the close of the war Lieutenant Com
mander Braine was detailed for ordnance
duty at the Brooklyn navy yard, and on
July %, 1866, was promoted to the rank OF
commander on account of heroism in bat
tie. In 1872 he was made a member of the
examining board at the torpedo station at
Newport, r l. In J e, 1873, he took
command of the CO cite Juniata, and
went IN search of the rolaris in the Arctic
