The Columbian cxelopedla.


 We are glad to see that Volume XXVIII. of this great work is fully as good as it's predecessor. This is very high praise, but careful examina- tion win prove that it is deserved. As in its immediate predecessor the topics all commence with the letter ;, which even this volume does not complete the first topic being sind and the last stricture. Among the great number of interesting and important articles which we note without an attempt at classification, are singing, skating. slate, slavery, sleep, smoke, snow, solar system, Soldiers homes, sophists, so- rosis, sound, sea scheme, specie pay ment, spectrum, sphinx, spinning, spon- taneous combustion, stock exchange, and strength of materials. The ar ticle on socialism and sociology and will interest large class of readers. In the religious line we find the topice, skepticism, soul, spiritual ism; in natural history, snail, snake, snipe, sparrow, specie, spider, spunges and squirrel; and among the anatomi- cal aud medical subjects we notice skeleton, skin, skull, small pox, spinal cord, spleen, sprain, StimilaIts, stomach and stricture. People inter ested in education will be pleased with the articles on Smith College, smith sonian Institution, Sorbonne and Ste vens Institute; while farmers will gain much useful information from such topics as sisal hemp, smut, soil, sowing of seed. squash, straw and strawberry. Many cities, states and countries are we'll described, including Singapore, Sitka, Smyrna, South African Republic, South Australia. South Bend, South Carolina (12 pages), South Dakota, Spain, Springfield Gin H., Mass, Mo. and O.), Stockholm and Strasburg. This volume is also particularly rich in biographical sketches. a few of which we note as follow: poets, Skelton. Southey, Spenser and Stoddard; authors Skeat. Adam Smith, Sidney smith, Smollett, Sophocles, Sterne, Stockton, Mrs. II. E. Stowe and Strauss; re- former, Gerrit Smith, Goldwin Smith, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton; soldiers, Slocum, E. K Smith w. F.

Soc rates, Herbert Spencer and SpinoZas: Capt. John Smith. the adventurer; Solon, the law-giver; JOanna South cott. the religious visionary; Spoke, the African traveller; and Stanley. the ex- piorer. It is really wonderful what a vast field this cyclopdia covers, and what an immense amount of informa- tion it contains, The volumes are nicely printed and bound, and there are great many very good illustra- tions The work is sold by agents and on very easy terms.

Weaver at Pulaski.

NASHVILLE TENN. October S-Gen. Weaver, Peoples party candidate foi president, spoke at Pulaski, Tenn. today, despite the rumor that he would be badly treated for his alleged tyran- nies in this section during the war.
 The men who made affidavits of his cruelty remained away from the fail grounds, where Weaver spoke, and il is thought by some that this ayerted any trouble.
 There were no more people in towr than ordinarily come to trade on Satur. days. Several Peoples party leaders mixed with the people during tht morning and invited everybody to at tend. About 100 people met the trair on which Weaver arrived. A procession was formed of 437 people led by a bane hired for the occasion. Gen. Weaver rode in carriage with Mrs. Lease and John II. Mcdowell. Peoples part, elector.
 By actual count 325 people passed into the gates, and the speaking throughout was devoid ot enthusiasm and fell short of the expecta tions ol all classes. Perfect order prevailed during the entire day and during thu speaking.

THE STRONGEST AND PUREsT
The official Report of the Minnesota Dai-
 ry and Food Commissioners Shows the Qualities of the Baking
 POMders.

Globe, St. Paul. Minn.
 The late report of the Minnesota State Food and Dairy commission con- tains the details of the state chemist s experiments and analyses to determine
 the strengh and keeping qualities of the various baking powders. Samples of the numerous brand on sale in this state were purchased and first all alyZed to ascertain their leavening power. The Royal Baking Powder is shown by the tests of both state ana lysts, Prof. Eberman and Prof. Drew to contain the greatest amount of leav- ening gas of thc cream of tartar pow ders thus purchased aud tested. Hence this powder is officially ranked at the
 head of the list.
 The report attaches great importance to d series of experiments made to as- certain the character, efficiency aiId
 keeping qualities of the powders. Baking powders that vary in strength or that readily lose strength before use, are unreliable and will not give even results; besides. it is an indication of the use of improper ingredients in their compounding. These tests were applied to d large number of samples of different ages of the three cream of tartar powders best known in Minne- sota. They showed the strength or
 leavening power of the Royal very mucls greater than that of the others. The uniformity of strength of all the
 samples of Royal tested was remarka-
 bie. It's leavening power was practic- ally unimpared even in the oldest specimeus. The difference in the
 amount of leavening gas in different samples of both the other brands was
 80 great as to seriously impair their
 usefulness in baking. As much as 24
 per cent loss was found in samples a few months old. All the samples of
 Royal examined by Dr. Drew were re
 ported of satisfactory strength and quality.

Poisoned by Scrofula.

Is the sad story of many lives made miserable through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more especially than any other a hereditary disease, and for this simple reason Arising from impure and insult ficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of white tissues; there is period of fetal life when the whole body consists of white tissues. and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadful disease. But there is a remedy for scrof- ula, whether hereditary or acquired. It is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's pow erful effect on the blood, expels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quality and color of health. If you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute.

Andrew Jackson's Prophetic
 Words,

From Jackson's Farewell Address.
 The corporations and wealthy individ- uals who are engaged in large manu- featuring establishments desire high tariff to increase their gains. Designing politician will support it to conciliate their favor and obtain the means of pro- fuse expenditure for the purpose of pur- chasing influence in other quarters. \ Do not allow yourselves, my felow-citizens, ts be misled on this sub- ject. The federal government can c0l- lect surplus for such purposes with out violating tue principle of the con- stitution and assuming powers which have not been granted. It is moreover a system of injustice, and if persisted in, will inevitably lead to corruption and must end in ruin.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years the doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local reme- dies, and by constantly failing to cure with lccal treatment pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore re- quires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney S O., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

Mckinley says ;hs foreigner pays ihe duty
or tax imposed uPon imported goods. When
pressed. be explains by saying ihs, the for
eignet pays ii by reducing the selling price Of
his commodity in order that he may get into
the rnarks, Of Tie United States How much
truth there is in this may be seen by referring -
= few lines Of imported articles. From the
anual report OF the chief OF The Bureau of
Statistics of the treasury department sos 1890
we learn thar eusing tha, year window glass
to the value Of 81. a4os. 7oo was imported into
this oountry. This SI,4o2, 7o6 was when the
American importer paid sor these goods abroad.
The daiy or tax paid en- these goods was
SI.S3S, ,12S. Now does Mckinley mean that
the foreigner paid tax of SI,s3S.saS for the
privilege OF selling St,4o2. 1876 worth ofwindow
glass in our market. Again during the same
time tobacco to the value Of S4.o4o.s3l was
| imported. The duty or tex paid was
lS4.rSo,si2. Does mckinley nean to say
thai the foreigner paid a tax OF 81, IS9.SIs for
the privilege Of selling S4.o4aasi worth Of
TOBACCO in our marksts. During the same
yea. starch TO the amount of Sss,6s4 was
imported Ga this daty OF tax of Sss.eS4
was paid. Does McKinlcy mean that for
