Scne.ula

Is the most ancient and most general OF all
diseases. Scarcely family is entirely free
from 1t, while thousands everywhere are its
suffering slaves. Hoods Sarsaparilla has had
remarkable success in curing every form Of
scrofula. The most severe and painful run
ming sores, swellings in the neck, or goitre,
humor in the eyes, causing partial or total
blindness, have yielded to the powerful effects
Of this medicine. 1t thoroughly removes
every trace Of impurity from the blood and
builds up the weakened system.

The Worst Type.

MY son was afflicted with the worst type
Of scrofula, and on the recommendation Of my

Today he is sound and well, Notwithstanding
1t was said there was not enough medicine in
Illinois to eject cure" ]. CHRISTIAN,

place, it cures your catarrh-
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. 1t
doesn't simply palliate - it
cnreS. If you believe it, SO
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for SO cents, from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be-
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
of DR.. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid of
catarrh.

UNREST.
rhe fsrther yon ionrney and wander

The farther You journey and wander
*5m the sweet simple faith of your youth,
The more you peer into the yonder
And search for the root OF ali truth,
No matter what secrets uncover
Their yelled mystic brows in your quest,
Or close on your astral sight hover,
Still. still shall you walk with unrest
II you seek for strange things you shall find them
But the finding shall bring you to grief;
The dfad lock the portals behind them.
And he who breaks through is a thief
The soul with muck ill-gotten plumber,
With its premature knowledge oppressed,
Shall grope in unsatisted wonder
Away by the shores of unrest.
Though bold hands lift up the thin curtain
That hides lie unknown from our sight;
Though a shad ivy faith becomes certain
OF the new life that follows deaths night;
Though miracles past comprehending
Shall startle the heart in your breast,
STILL stil will your thirst be unending,
And your soul viii be sad with unrest.
There are truths too sublime and too holy
To grasp with a mortal minds touch.
We are happier far to be lowly;
Content means not knowing too much.
Peace dwells not with hearts that are yearning
TO fathom all labyrinths unguessed,
AnA the soul that is bent on vast learning
Shall find with its knowedge-unrest.

THE PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL EN-
POSITION.

Every indication points to tremen-
dous success of the Portland Industrial
Exposition, which opens thissyear Sep
TENDER II. The music by the great
Zapadores Band of Mexico, the pain,-
ings from abroad, the living chess tour
nament, the wonderful electrical dis
plays, the unprecedentedly large num-
ber of exhibits in agriculture and horti-
culture, in industry and science, shows
that the coming Exposition, in attract
iveness, will exceed any ever held upon
the Pacific Coast.
There has been an entire rearrange-
ment of the Exposition, and a large
number of novelties from every part of
the world have been secured.
The railroads have granted a round
trip rate of one fare and fifth half
rates on all exhibits, except fruits and
vegetables, which have been placed upon
the free list. This certifes to the excel
lent management of the Exposition OF
1891, and the same energy displayed in
the other departments leaves no doubt as
to its great success.

DISTANCE of the stars.

In determining the distances of stars angu-
lar measurements are made at intervals of
six months, the parallax being the apparent
change of position which results from shift
ing the point Of view about 183, 600 miles,
the diameter of the earth's orbit. Even with
this immense base line, the direction in which
the stars arc seen is scarcely altered. The
parallax of about dozen stars, varying be-
tween 0.919 seconds and 0046 seconds, has
now been determined. The nearest star to
us is Alpha Centauri, distant about 20, 1885,
100000 miles The average distance of first
magnitude stars is probably several times as
great as this.-BostOn Budget

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

That dyspepsia comes from torpid liver
and costiveness.
That you cannot digest your food well
unless your bowels and liver act properly.
That your bowels require thorough cleans
ing when they do not do their duty by your
digestion.
That your torpid liver needs stimulating
in order that it may act as nature intended
it should.
That BRANDRETH's Pills taken in doses
of one or two at night for say, ten days
will regulate the bowels, stimulate the liver,
improve the digestion and drive away dys-
pepsia.
That BRANDRETH's Pills are purely vege-
table absolutely harmless and safe to take
at any time.
That they can be obtained in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated

Whenever these cold proof nomads of
the north find themselves so far away
from home that they cannot conveniently
reach it before late at night they build a
small snOwhouse (snow kennel would be a
better name for it), crawl in and shut the
door-which is block Of snow-pull their
arms out of the sleeves Of their reindeer
coats, having previously put the hoods of
the coats well around their heads and ears,
fold their arms across their bare breasts,
with block of snow under their head,
and go to sleep and snore away apparently
as comfortable as if they were in q first
class hotel. The only time they object to
this light and airy system of sleeping out
of nights is when a long or hard days
work has created generous flow of per-
spiration, and especially in the reindeer
stockings. If they be wet from this cause
there is considerable risk to even the
warm blooded Eskimo of getting his toes
badly nipped. Frederick Schwatka in st.
