will let me pick the white man-were
slumbering In the waiting room. One
of them slumbered like croupy ele-

see his dark throat where it fastened
on his massive trunk. l could also see
his trunk.
He had home near by, but he would
not 90 TO it. He had been told many
times to 20 there, but he still loafed
and slept in the waiting room. Now and

coal scoop full Of snow and put it in the
c0Iored mans trunk. 1t did not crack
the snow. When be woke up he wonld

II has been truly said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives.
Comparatively few Of Us have perfect
health, owing 70 the impure condition Of
our blood But we rub along from day TO
day, with scarcely thought, unless forced
10 our attention, Of the thousands all about
US who are suffering from scrofula, salt
rheum and other serious blood disorders,
and whose agonies can only be imagined.
The marked success Of Hoods Ssrsaparilla
for these troubles, as shown IN our adver-
Using columns frequently, certainly seems
to Justify urging the use Of this excellent
medicine by all who know that their blood
is disordered. Every claim Ia behalf o;
Hoods Sarsaparilla IL fully backed up Oy

Ing, and when its prOprietors urge It's
merits and its use upon all who suffer from
impure blood, in great or small degrees,
they certainly mean 10 include you.

New YORK, January 16.-The latest
development OF fashion is the circular
flounce. 1t is especially designed for
the skirts that are now in vogue and Is
totally different from any other trim'
ming both in effect and in the way IL is
cut. 1t is circular in form, as the name
suggests, and is so planned that the In
ner portion OF the circle makes the top
and the outer curve the bottom, the full

The Poke Honnsts.

The last importatons Of. millinery
show some pronounced 1880 shapes
which appear most outre and strange
though they resemble that shape OF
which the poet Of Broadway sang:
Here. beneath bewitching bonnets,
Sparkle eyes to kindle sonnets.
There is very little OF the bewitching
to the present generation in these huge
bonnets, guiltess Of an attempt at
grace or elaboration OF trimming. They
suggest to the unprejudiced observer at
once the scoop bonnets OF the Salvation
Army. The example illustrated is from
the shop Of famous Partisan milliner.

LADIES OF TIE G. a. R.

The Ladies' Circle Of the &. A. K.
held an interesting meeting on Tuesday
evening, with large attendance OF
members present. As many Inquiries
have been made as to the object Of the
Order, it would not be out OF place TO
speak of some OF It's pecularities. 1t is
an order similar TO that OF the Relief
Corps, but whose membership IS COM
posed entirely OF male members who
have our country in it's army and navy,
and the blood relatives OF such. IL Is
naturally known that with such q COM
position of lsdy members Of veterans
who did service in the late war, and
their families. they would receive more
benefit, assistance and support from
persons intimately connected with the
soldiers than from women connected
with similar societies who have mem bers
who are only known as loyal women, for
manv a soldiers life was taken during
the late war because they were foolish
enough to risk themselves in the sup
posed hiding place Of safety OF loyal
women, who proved TO be but spies.
Those only who have been bereft OF
friends can console and assist those left
who are in need OF assistance.

This order since 1883 has celebrated
each national holiday, given all kinds OF
patriotic entertainments in our city,
besides presenting flags, and is in a

been heavy on them individually, our
citizens or business men rendering no

any more at their individual expense,
and on Wednesday next, February 22d,
