diseases. Scarcely family is entirely free
from it, 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

humor in the eyes, causing partial or total
blindness, have yielded to the powerful effects
of this medicine. 1t thoroughly removes

Never Heard of Him.

Photographers stories are unique some
times, and they do not hesitate to tell
them to one another. 1t is said that the
operators in New Haven, having always
lived there. seldom hear of anything be-
yond the limits Of the city and their oper-
ating rooms. The fact was illustrated
recently when an operator in New York
remarked to the man he was working
with in New Haven that Parnell had
just lied.
"Who:" was the inquiry.
'Parnell," was the reply.
After d short interval, during which,
it i, supposed, the New Haven operator
was in conference with somebody, this
message Was sent: eff you mean p. I.

than 5000. With regard to knights it
may be as we'll to mention that the only
orders Of knighthoo1 that carry with
them title Of any kind are those con-
ferred by the English government.
Neither the Italian, the French, the Ger
man, Spanish nor Russian orders bring
with them any title, not even that of
"sir" pre6xed to the Christian name.
In conclusion, will take the liberty
of warning Americans visiting Europe
to give more consideration to the name
than to the title of the acquaintance
that they may acquire in the Old World.
Titles, even when they are authentic,
and they should always be subjected to
investigation, are but of small value
compared to gentle birth and ancient
lineage, which no monarch or govern
ment can confer. King James of Great
Britain, whose name figures in the
preface to all Of our Bibles, was wont
to remark that though king can create
peer or confer nobility he cannot
make gentleman. It is the latter and
not the mere bearer of a mushroom title
who is regarded in Europe rs the true
aristocrat. There is no more ancient
or more blue blooded family in the Old
World than the De Rohans, who, not
withstanding their ancient lineage, their
immense power and influence and their
pride of race, have always disdained the
use of title. AN EX-DIPLOMATIsT.

American Silver.

It appears that the American product
of silver, including that Of ores brought
in from Mexico to be smelted, is now
about one half Of the worlds product.
The friends Of free coinage very natur-
ally assert that it is, or soon will be,
more than half, while the opposition as
naturally declare that it is a great deal
less than half. At any rate it is about
half, and with the lore in sight, as min
ers say, and the established workings,
there is little doubt that for ten years to
come the American product will average
5000. 900 ounces per year, or at coinage
rates 81 100000.
