The Druggists

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they sell
more of Hoods Sarsaparilla than of all other
blood purifiers. For instance:
F. G. GooDALE: I sell more of Hoods Sarsapar
rilla than all other blood purifiers.
A. W. Dows & Co.: Hoods takes the lead of all
other sarsaparillas.
G. f. BLANCHARD: We sell more of Hoods Sar.
saparilla than of any similar. nt
MARsToN & SHAW: With us the sale of Hoods
is to Of any other kind.
F. & E. BAILEY & Co.. Hoods Sarsaparilla ID
one OF the best medicines.
CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods Sarsaparilla is one
of the best medicines we have Its sale increases
every year.
F. P. MOODY We sell twice as much of Hoods
Earsaparilla as of anything similar.
C. A. SWAN: Hoods is the most popular sarsa-
parilla Of the day.
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and its proprietors have been known for
many years, could not continue if the medicine
did not possess merit And these facts should
certainly convince people in other sections Of
the country that HOODS sarsaparilla is a good,
reliable medicine.

THE GOODNIGHT KISS.

Sitting with my pipe and slippers
The days long work well over.
And the children gathered, fair
In their radiant mirth and beauty,
find no hour SO bright
As the one they fill with trolic
Before they say goodnight.
Eight is the chime that sends them
Scanpcring up the stairs.
With gFceful shout and gigglc,
Hu>l,cd ut their evening prayers.
Then flushed and sweet as the flowers,
On snowy pillows laid.
They will DRIFT to the isles of dreaMland,
Each dear little lad and maid.
And first "Will you kiss me mamma?
Be sure you don't forget"
Clear and sweet is the mandate
Ofeach dainty household pet
And "I'm waiting, mamma darling,
So hurry and tuck me in;
And though I'm asleep, why kiss me-"
They cry with merry din.
And ifswcct blue eyes grow heavy
Before the mothers love
In the kiss Of goodnight blessing
Is dropped the brow above,
Next day | will hear the question.
Pray, when did you kiss me- fall
From the rosebud lips the baby.
Sweet as All angels call.
Sitting with pipe and slippers,
listen. aud overhead
i hear the prattle of children
Merrly going to bed;
And envy not the monarch
On his gold and ivory throne,
As reign in my little kingdom.

MARY STARTED AT ONCE.
He Had Wife Who Showed That
She Knew Him.

He was tall good-looking man,
with regular features, and was dressed
in the height Of fashion, but he was
awfully drunk. He came from the
East a few days ago and registered at
an uptown hotel. Immediately ne
Went on q "tear" The clerk who
knew him m the East, relieved him Of
an $500 gold watch and about 81, 900
in currency and locked them in the
coin box for safe keeping. This hap
pened when he was about half sober
Then he went Off and imbibed some
more, and when he strolled into the
hotel Office few hours later he was
able to see the clerk, but that was
about all.
~ want to send a telegram to my
wife" he began.
"Have you the money to pay for
it," asked the clerk.
"No. You have my money in the
sale, and you pay for it,"
"Indeed I will not" returned the
clerk.
Then followed noisy wrangle be-
tween the clerk and the fellow, which
the latter broke of abruptly, and,
putting his thumbs in the armholes OF
his vest, walked about the corridor
and told the occupants of the chairs
what a shame it was that a man
could not telegraph to his wife; that
she was a peculiar woman and would
not come West with him; that he was
a weak man and could not keep sober
unless she was with him. This OF
course, amused the listeners. This
went on for twenty minutes. Then
the man returned in q more pacific
mood and the clerk accommodated
him. After a great deal of talking the
telegram was finally written, and here
it Isl

Twenty Years,

To the citizen of the Old World who is
obseryant on his travels in the United
States, this is country where develop
ment is marvelously rapid. In Europe, a
family, town, or city which cannot
trace its history back more than two hum
dred and fifty years is as hard to be found
as black swan. Old towns have grown
but new ones have not been founded. Sixty
millions more ofpeople are here than q
hundred and fifteen years ago. But If the
development of a hundred or two hundred
years seems wonderful to the European,
what shall we say ofthe material progress
of the last twenty years? A single illus
tration is enough. Twenty years ago this
week, Chicago suffered an unparalleled loss
by fire. The business district was de
stroyed and thousands ofpeoplc left shell
terless in the streets What is Chicago
now? The second city fthc United States.
What were the states west o. the Missis-
sippi twenty years ago? What they are
now can best be ascertained by taking a
trip over the Burlington system of roads,
which reaches all important places in ten
Western and Northern states. For any in
formation as to rates, routes, and time of
trains, cal on your local agents, or write

A Strange Burial,

In the Smolenskay Cemetery in st.
Petersburg a lady was recently buried
under peculiar circumstances. She
had been subject to attacks of leth-
argy for several years. She would
often lie for five weeks in succession
without a sign of life, and then wake
up and recover all her faculties. The
last time she fell in longer stupor
than before. There was no sign either
OF life or OF decay in her. Her family
physician at last allowed her to be
placed in a coffin and put in a vault
in the family sepulchre with the fol-
lowing precautions: A string was
tied around her body, with
the other end attached to the bell of
the steeple that stands over the fami-
ly sepulchre. A sounding board was
placed over the sepulchre, and a me-
tallic pipe led from her coffin into it.
Thus the least movement that she
makes if she awakes will ring the bell,
and the least sound that she utters
will be heard through the sounding
board. A guard is stationed by the
sepulchre, with orders to open her
grave Immediately if she gives any
sign of life. As her death could not
be attested by her physicians no
funeral services were performed at her
grave. Such services will be perform
ed when the coffin il opened and un-
mistakabIe signs Of decay discovered
ION her body. The grave lfeantinss, ID
visited every dry by physicians and
members Of her family.

at him and found myself speechless.
He stood pointing toward a corner oi
tho great room. The lamp we had
set upon the table was apparently
going out. The moonlight lay upon
the wall, and in it we saw a figure
all in white. Stephens had reached
the door; we rushed toward it also,
but none of us could open it. And
still we stared toward the cornef
where the figure stood. Now it began
to move. 1t glided past the window,
and we all saw at the same moment
the face of Professor Parry.
"Let us OUT" shrieked Stephens,
beating at the door. "The ghost!
Let us OUT"
A roar OF laughter followed; the
door burst open. In thelighted room
we saw the professors and Bowles,
and from the dark one walked Pro-
fessor Parry himself, in the flesh; over
his arm he held large sheet.
"Calm yourselves, gentlemen" he
said. "But remember hereafter that
it is possible for others to play prac-
teal Jokes as we'll as yourselves.

punished"
Stephens stood abashed, Roe was
trembling, felt very ill, but with She
knowledge that Professor Parry
lived came the wish on my part to do
so; for hours had wanted to die.

Bowles, rubbing his hands together.

BLUE GUMS.
A Singular Southern Superstition
Prevalent Among Negroes.

A Singular Southern Superstition
Prevalent Among Negroes.
The case Of Prof. James Haley, of
this city, who isdying of blood poison
from the effects of breaking the skin
on his knuckles against the teeth of
an unknown man on Sept. IL, recalls
popular superstition among the
colored people of the South. They
believe that some men have blue gums,
and that the bite of blue gum is GER
tain death.
No one knows how or where the
superstition originated, but there are
few negroes in the Southern States
who are not firm believers in it.
II the man struck by Professor Haley
has blue gums, then, according to the
superstition, nothing can save him,
and he will be fortunate if he escapes
the horrors OF hydrophobia before
death comes to his relief.
The blue gums are supposed to con-
tain deadly poison. The effect OF
this poison is said to produce frequent
ly spasms in the victim similar to
hydrophobia.
When negroes engage in O rough and
tumble fight, they often use their teeth
with good effect. A negro bitten in a
fight first tries to ascertain if his op-
ponent had blue gums. If his fears
are confirmed, he makes no effort to
heal the wounds, but begins at once
to prepare for death. Imagination
may have much to do with it, but
they usually die when they believe
they have received O bite from q man
with blue gums.
This fatal superstition is SO. we'll
known in the South that it has often
been the subject of investigation by
physicians. They have found few
negroes whose gums looked blue, hut
they were never able fully to establish
the fact that the blue gums contained
poison.
Most physicians who have investi
gated the matter declare it is q super
stition and nothing more, but that
does not lessen the average negro's
dread of man with blue gums.
| A negro who once becomes known as
blue gum is ever after q terror tC
other members of his race. Should
he ever become involved in fight Ii,
would most likely be shot or stabbed
before he would have an opportunity
to poison his antagonist by q bite o
the teeth.
| In the news columns OF the southern
papers stories OF death from the bit
of blue-gum negro arenot infreqnent
In most cases the symptoms ar
those of ordinary blood poisoning.
Sometimes the victim fingers 70
weeks after being bitten, finally dyin
in terrible agony. In most cases
however, death results within tel
lays.-Baltimorc News.

Taxing A Wrong View.

How many take a wrong view of
life, and waste their nervous system
in endeavoring to accumulate wealth
without thinking of the present hap

not wealth nor honor that makes q

is q radiant, sunny spirit which knows
how to bear little trials and enjoys
little comforts, and thus extract hap

Better Stop to Think.

An amusing story told of the famous
painter, Barret, teaches us that it is the
best to stop and think well before we
act.
Barret's only pets We're a cat and a
kitten. A friend seeing two holes in
the bottom OF his door, asked him fo1
what purpose he had made them
there. Barret said it was for his cats
to 90 in and out.
"Why," replied his friend, "would
not one do for both?"
"You silly man." said the artist,
chow could the big cat get in at the
little hole?"
"But," said the friend, "could not
the little one go through the big hole?"
"Well, and so it could; but never
thought OF that!" was the astonishing
answer.
