In the obi church Of Ara Celia, neas
the top Of the capitol steps, in the
city of Rome, is a little treasury room
where the sacred vestments are kept,
and where. in wonderful little respos-
itory, lies wooden doll called the sacred
bambino, representing the Holy Child
Jesus. So strong is the superstition with
regard to this child that in cases of i'll
ness it is sent for and taken in great state
by some dignitary of the church to the
bedsides of sufferers who believe in its
miraculous power to heal and bless. In
this old church, around the affairs, are
the offerings of those who claim to have
been healed of their infrmities by the
miraculous power of this wonderful
child.
Here are repetitionS in wax of MANNED
limbs; pictures of people rescued from
burning houses; Of children who fell
from windows, receiving no harm; Of
men drowning in swollen streams, saved
by the sight of this little child appearing
on the brink. Before the altar may
always be seen a kneeling throng. for the
hearts of a great many of the people have
opened and taken in a love for and a
faith in this wonderful little wooden doll.
At times there have been rumors of the
bambino having been stolen, or, because
of its displeasure at the sins of the peo-
pie, having Withdrawn itself from sight.

The Selection of Fruit.

Care should be exercised in the selec-
ton of fruit, as it is just as easy and as
cheap to buy good fruit as the bad stock.
Never buy cat in the bag; or in other
words, fruits or nuts that are placed in
packages by the dealers, for the chances
are against the purchaser receiving the
same quality as Is exposed to view. For
instance, the wagon fruit peddler's profit
is derived, not from the sale of short
measures, but from the disposal of the
bad and poor stock which he has. The
peddler will search the wholesale market
through for damaged stock Of grapes
or bananas which he can purchase cheap
After an hour or two of mysterious work
he has his wagon or handcart properly
arranged for appearance on the public
thoroUghfares.
The first customers are almost sure to
find themselves cheated after examining
their purchases on their arrival at home
The good stock is held TO attract the
late trade. L you watch 4 peanut ped
der just after he has located on corner
for business you viii see him with a
paper sack in hand picking out the dis
cOlored nuts, which viii 90 TO the first
customers, and so it is with all huck-
sters. Pick your own goods and then
you are sure not to be cheated.-Inter-

MCCARTHY WHIPS CALLAGHAN.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27.-An interna-
tional feather-weight contest took place
tonight between Tommy Callaghan Of Eng
land and Cal Mccarthy of New Jersey, at

Honors were easy up to the sixth round.
Mccarthy was knocked down several
times, but Callaghan received some severe
punishment, although he succeeded in
keeping oD his pins.
In the tenth round Mccarthy won first
blood by landing on Callaghan's nose.
Both men then INDUCED in heavy fighting

TEE IRISH PARTIEC

DUBLIN. Jan. 25.-Mr John Dillon has
written a protest against the attemnts
made by the Parnelliies to prevent sub
scriptions being made to the fund for the
benefit of evicted tenants. The past year
balance sheet of the fund shows that there
was expended 445. 30. the proceeds OF Mr..
Dillon's American tour and Irish sub
scriptions. Mr.. Dillon says that since
August last the McCarthyites have furn-
ished FL, ,+56 10 the fInd. that sum being
all the money received. There are, Mr.
Dillon says. $500 persons who receive
grams, requiring the sum of - 000 each
month. Owing 10 the lack of funds some
OF the grants have not been paid. He con

DISCOVERED At LAST.
What La Grippe Really Isl Where 1t Orig
mated; How 1t is PrJpagated and the
Way by Which It Can be Avoided.

1t has, at last, been discovered and defn
itely settled Just what LA Grippe" is, and
how it first started.
II is an infection, low fever, and it orr
ginated in Asia from the wet marshes
around Bokhara. Thence 1t was taken tC
Russia by the traders who came from the
crowded bszars of the Asiastic capital
From Europe it came to America, and
here the germs are today and the fever
raging.
Being n fever, it arises, as all fevers do,
from weakened and run down condition
Of the system, hence some people nave it
and others do not. Some have it severely
and others mildly, but in every case 1t Is
due, as all tevers are, to disordered and
weakened kidney and liver. No man OIL
woman whose kidneys are in perfect oil
strong condition ever had the grippe,
even with the worst exposure, and no one
ever suffered with it whose kidneys and
liver were not out of order. In writing on
this subject, which is one of the most i'm
portant now before the people, the New
York Herald gives, i'll a recent issue, some
good advice. It says: 'All classes should
avoid crowded assemb blages, avoid over
exertion. and see that their systems are
toned up and built M"
This is common sense. But it is not al
ways easy to do. One can easily say,
Tone up the system, strengthen the kid
neys and liyer,"-but how? There has
never been but one standard remedy for
strengthening and restoring these great
organs, and that is Warmers Safe Cure.
You know that, if you stop to think. ii
you refresh your memory and recall how
many people you have heard speak favor
ably of it, who have perhaps told you
what 1t has done for them. 1t goes direct
~ to the seat OF the most physical trouble
and all possible grippe. 1t strengthens, it
renews, it fortifies these great organs, and
thus when the gerInes OF grippe come TO
the system, they are unable to find u
lodgment, and are killed before they can
propagate.
The foregoing facts are fully endorsed
by the most eminent physicians, both
abroad and in America DR.. Gustav Web
ber, of the royal court of Germany; DR..
Hoesch, of Berlin; Dr. William Edward
Robson, of the royalty navy, England; DR..
Andrew Wilson, of the Royal society of
Edinburgh, and most broadminded and
liberal physicians in America have unhesi-
tatiugly affirmed the same.
You who read this article are in danger
OF contracting the grippe, which may
leave its painful aud baneful effects upon
your system unless you are in strong, =
healthy and vigorous condition today. If
you feel languid, restless, irritable, des-
pondent, If your appetite is uncertain,
your rest broken; if you feel any signs of
feverishness or chilhness you need to take
steps against it. You need to
fortify your kidneys and liv.r, and you
can do so absol utely in but one way and
that is by the aid of the great cure above
named.
