Do not con tinue in a dull, tired, unsatisfactory con- dition when you may be so much benefit ed by Hoods Sarsaparilla. It purifes the blood and makes the weak strong.

 tive of the Late War.
 Monday evening Superintendent of Police Bollman was in Brooklyn to attend birthday celebration of an old army friend of his, Philip Koepel, who formerly resided in this city. The event was sur prise to MT. Koepel, and the most surpris- ing thing happened that evening was the meeting of two men who had not met in twenty-seven years. They were Captain Euker from Richmond, Va, and Thomas Coleman of this city, who lives on Ferry street and is employed at Bigelow's fac tory. Their last meeting was not of so friendly nature, for it was at the battle of Yellow Tavern, March 12, 1864, and there the southsrner took the northerner prisoner The one was captain of Com pany B, First Virginia, and Coleman was a member of Company B, First Connecticut cavalry. It was through series of coin cidences that Superintendent Bollman, who was a member of Company B, First Con- necticut cavalry as well, was able to bring, the meeting of the two about.
 Last evening they were both in this city, the virginian visiting the superintendent, and evidently all traces of the strife of war had been effaced.

HOW TO MAKE CAKE.
 You housekeepers of Con- necticut, wise in your cake ways, dare we try to teach you anything about baking?

 Her baking pans are going to make a revolution in cake baking. No greasing the pan. Turn the cake topsy-turvy to cool so that its own weight won't be pressing down on it all the while and making it heavy. You couldn't do that with a greased pan. In the mold it keeps till cool, and then through a little slit at the side above the bottom you poke in a knife and out comes your cake as light as a feather We want you to see these pans work even to the wisest cake makers a little fresh hint or two won't come amiss.
