Ssrsaparilla Perfectly Cured.
Great mental agony is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, and
tor which there seems no cure. This is
turned to JOY when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the dis
eased skin to fresh, healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents:

Tho Source of the Dannha.

The little town of Donaueschingen
perched high in the invigorating air of the
Black Forest, has been arbitrarily desig-
mated the source of the Danube. The
prince who owns most Of the land in the
neighborhood has built an ornamental
stone basin for very powerful spring that
gushes out close to his palace and has
erected portentous slab, notifying all the
world that this is the genuine source Of
the greatest of European streams, that it

A man with an evergreen two ounce phial
in his hand went into Lisbon street
druggists at about 6 o'clock Thursday
evening" and, leaning over the counter,
said: Kin you make hair dyer"
The druggist said that he could, and in
reply to the most breathless inquiry of the
purchaser said that it would be good dye,
would cost twenty cents a bottle full and
that it would do good job.

Coins were made in China so long ago, il
is said, as the year $3.50 B. c., but they
could not have been other than portions of
metal cast into portable shape, such as
were all the earliest moneys. In Egypt,
the cradle of civilization and comm rec,
strange to say, there was no imperial
coinage. Copper, silver and gold were
used as elsewhere, to indicate values,
but they were manufactured into Jumps,
shaped sometimes like brick, and in the
case of gold and silver were nodded in
rings, like the ancient Irish money
of ten centuries ago. 1t appears al
most inconceivable that a people who
created the pyramids and erected such
magnificent temples should have been en-
tirely ignorant of coins.
Yet it is certain from the statements Of
Herodotus that such was the case. The
first coinage of money in Egypt was not
struck to assist the Egyptians themselves
in their commercial dealings, but rather
because the foreign merchants with whom
they traded, the Greeks and the Phone
clans, demanded some media which would
have the guarantee of its value apparent
on it and which would circulate for that
value.-Brooklyn Eagle.

derful tenor, Fredori, from a butchers
bench, trained him to sing and taught him
20 act and started him on his conquering
way. Among his other pupils he had
Marie Selika, the phenomenal soprano
who in the past few seasons has been as
tonishing the opera going public of the
European capitals.
Marie Seika is an octoroon. In her sue
cess Signor Farini was much interested for
two reasons-one because she had been his
pupil and the other because she was an oc-
toroon. He said that in Europe at least
such circumstance was no bar to the sue
cess of a really gifted singer. Nor did he
believe that it would prove any serious
drawback in the United States. On the
contrary, it might prove attractive because
of its novelty. He therefore set to work to
gather little ompany of what he calls
creoes. They are not what are considered
such in New Orleans, for instance, but
rather octOroons. | had the pleasure of
hearing them sing the other night, and
that they can sing there is no doubt.
The colored people in the United States
have in conversation the most musical
voices of any people in the country. We
have always been aware that in an artless
way, with their sometimes humorous
sometimes pathetic plantation melodies,
they had marvellous power TO please, but
we were unaware as to what this would
amount to when trained and cultivated III
the conventional way. In this little com.
pany we have seen what the methods of
Milan applied to genius of Mississippi
could do. The achievement is really mar

even such must acknowledge that it is a
