/" Hunger is the Best Sauce.

AS a rule, person who has a good appetite
has good health. But how many there are who
enjoy nothing they eat, and sit down to meals
only as an unpleasant duty. Natures anti
dotes for this condition are so happily COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla that it soon re-
stores good digestion, creates an appetite and
TenoVHtes and vitalizes the blood so that the
beneficial effect of good food is impaired to the
whole body. Trnly hunger is the best sauce,
and Hoods Sarsaparilla induces hunger.

James j. Slocum, Harris A. Smiler,
Joseph Wood and shibuya Jugiro
were executed by electricity in the
order named, for the crime of muir
der, in the prison at Sing Sing, N.
Y, Tuesday. In each case there
were apparent evidences of revival,
as in the Kemler case, and in each of
these four cases the current was
turned on second time. The med
ical men present agree that death
came on first contact, and that the
seeming revival was merely reflex
muscular action. Some of the wit
nesses were overcome by fright, and
all of them who have spoken have
made the statement that the cleo
trodes were successful and that death
in all cases was instantaneous and
painless.

leave him 10 me, proposed the East
Indian, with CLEAN Of vengefulness at
the unconscious physician ~Ill soon
put 1t out OF his power TO interfere with
our little performance"
he suited the action 70 the word, and
then turned his burning and Venomous
gaze upon Mrs. Moreland and Jessie.
Until now they had stood as If par
alyZed, as indeed they were, by the in
tention Of the three plotters, but now
Jessie caught up a chair and hurled it
into the window nearest her, dashing
out half Of its sash and glass, while she
uttered a wild scream for assistance.
Enough Of that!1 cried Hillington,
seizing her by the throat and reducing
her to instant helplessness- Another
cry ike that and III strangle you'll
Quick, Raddl We must bind themI"
The task was quickly accomplished,
despite the desperate resistance Of the
mother and daughter, and the three
conspiratOrs remained entirely the mas
ters of the situation.
SThereln proposed HillingtOn, as he
turned away from the helpless trio on
the uOOr, -let us ranSack the house in
quest of the treasure, and get away with
it as soon as we find IL, taking the
mother and daughter with usi LIVELY
The game is now all our OWn!"
In another moment the trio were busy
with their search for the missing treas
ure, scattering TO every part of the
house.
At least half an hour was consumed in
this quest, but not the least hint of
eventual success rewarded their efforts.
The savage and disguised mood in
which they at length returned TO the sit
ting-roOm can be imagined.

the walls and floors thoroughly" de-
clared HillingtOn, with curse, @and it
would be FOOLS game TO leave the pris-
oners here longer, We had better take
them to that sloOp in the cove without
another moments delay"
"The Doctor, tOO?" queried Hutchley.
ESPECIALLY the Doctor. n returned the
East Indian, his eyes flashing venge-
fully. "He certainly knows what has
become Of that money, and I'll extract
the secret from him, even if have to
build fire under him TO get It. Let US
take all three OF them to the woods. Do
you know, MOreland, where that horse

OF the value of extensive and iudicious adver-
Using of any article of undoubted merit is
found in the remarkable success of the CAL
IFoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co., which has simply
been phenomenal, even in this age of great
enterprises.
Organized a few years ago to manufacture
new and more perfect remedy than had ev-
eT been produced, laxative with original
and attractive features, prepared from deli
cious fruits and health giving plants, one
which would be pleasant and refreshing to
the taste, as well as really beneficial TO the
system, the management very wisely con-
cluded TO select the leading newspapers
throughout the United States to make known
to the public the merits of the new remedy,
Syrup of Figs. AS happens with every val
liable remedy, cheap substitutes are being
offered to the public, but with the general
diffusion of knowledge it is becoming more
difficult each day to impose on the public.
Health is too important to be trihed with,
and reputable druggists will not attempt to
deceive the public as they all know that Syr-
up of Figs is manufactured by the Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Co, of San Francisco, Cal,
Louisville, KY, New York, n. Y. Do not
attempt any cheap, non-adyertised imita-
tons il offered.

of many night, made doubly long by its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer
losses to and fro on his sleepless couch, vain
ly praying for the rest which only comes by
ifs and starts. His malady is one which or
binary medicines fail to relieve, but there is
ample evidence to prove that the efficient
blood depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
affords the rheumatic a reliable means OF re-
lief. Check the malady in its incipient stages
when the first premonitory twinges come
on, with this agreeable medicine, and avoid
years of torture. Whatever be the rationale
of the active influence of the Bltters
upon this nalady, certain it is that no
evidence relating to its effect is more
direct and positive than that which re-
ates to its action in cases of rheu-
matism. Like all sterling remedies, howev-
er, it deserves a protracted, systematic trial.

in dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred dis

THE OLD MIRROR.
BIZ CLARA n. HOWARD.


It's but q mirror, cracked and old,
Ana ita face long since grown dims
But many a secret IL doth hold
Within its time-stained rim
It could tell OF youthful faces
trimming DER with mirth and fun,
Full OF childhOod's artless graces
That were pictured one by one
It could tell OF a face reflected there,
Gazing back. with girlish pride,
At the beautiful eyes and wealth OF hair,
And the raiment white OF a bride.
Another face. handsome and manly, too,
Looks out with grave, dark eyes,
Full OF a purpose to dare and to do
With the strength that within him lies.
And grandma's kindly. Wrinkled face,
With its bands OF stlvery hair
Framed in by friIls Of snowy lace,
Was oft reflected there.
Grandpa comes. too. OF a Sabbath morn,
His stubby beard TO shave;
His razor upheld. the youngsters to warn
To be quiet and still as the grave
1t could tell OF angry faces
Faces bitter, proud and cold;
One by one have filed their places
Before this mirror. dim and old.
II could tell OF tear-stained faces,
Anguish stamped on every line;
Sorrow here has left its traces,
But the mirror makes no sign.

cluded the Colonel, %yOu in your way,
and in nine / not only got here
ahead Of you, but have kept u constant
watch upon YOU My one great object
has been, OF course, TO recover my two
millions, but L have not neglected 70 put
my sister and niece on their guard against
you, and the upshOt OF all your wicked

a beggar-"
The words were succeeded by a rum
bling Of wheels, and twO-horse carriage,
with lanterns at each end Of the forward
seat, came dashing up 10 the door.
ave are now going TO take leave OF
yOu,5 exclaimed the Colonel, arising,
@and we do so with the belief and hope
that We are rid of You forever. All I
need add is that we shall leave instrnc-
tons with Sammy to turn you loose about
midnight, and I give you fair warning
that any further grievance we may ex-
perience at your hands viii be promptly
and vigorously punished"
And within five minutes after the ut
terance OF these remarks tho Colonel
and his friends were being driven rapidly
away from Egg Island cottage to tho.
landing, on their way back to The Elms.
The party included LOttie and Mrs.
Barnett, OF course, they having returned
frnm their stroll on the beach in time to.
take their place in this departure
The third night subsequent to these
events, while Radd, Ellington, and
Hutchley were having a carousal in the
humble cabin of the latter, near the
waters edge, there arose one of the most
terrible storms known TO the annals of
Lake Michigan, and the next morning
not single board or timber of the build
ing was visible. 1t had been swept away,
with its occupants, of whom no trace
was ever discovered.
But Perry and his friends knew moth
ing Of this catasprophe, and indeed they
had great deal TO think about without
it, for on that night, in the presence OF
Colonel Ridley and Dr. RObinett, Vance
became the husband of Jessie Moreland,
while her mother became the wife of Mr..
Wyevilie-
And just q year later, in the elegant
parlors of The Elms, which had been
newly refurnished, tho fair Jessie sat
holding a sweet daughter, while Vance
strOl1ed her hair tenderly and contem-
plated that miniature image Of his bride
and of himself.
"You see, he said, with a smile as
proud as gentle, as he lifted and patted
one Of the chubby hands of the baby
shat there IS no curse resting upon
you, as you once told me- 1 knew then,
as 1 know now, that there was no oc-
casiOn for your haunting fears, and here
is the proof. DR.. RObinett says that
your hands and those of my dear mother
in-law Will be sufficiently restored in an
other month TO admit of laying aside all
those gloves and bandages forever.
What more do we need, darling, to fill
the cup Of our happiness 10 overflow
ing?"
Nothing more, my own dear Vance
nothing whatever" assured Jessie, in
all the radiance of her beauty and glad
ness, as she raised her lips TO the hand
some face bending over her. ave ara
