The Spring.

OF all seasons in the year, is the one for
making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter, the system be-
comes to a certain extent clogged with
waste, and the blood loaded with impuri-
ties, owing to lack of exercise, close con
finement in poorly ventilated shops and
homes, and other causes. This is the cause
of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling so gem
eral at this season, and which must be
overcome, or the health may be entirely bro
ken down. Hoods Sc rsaparilla has attained
the greatest popularity all over the coun-
try as the ~favorite Spring Medicine. 1t
expels the accumulation of impurities
through the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs
and skin, gives to the blood the purity and
quality necessary to good health and over
comes that tired feeling.

SIGNIFICANT NAMES.
They Arc Sometimes Singularly Changed
by MatrimoDy.


by MatrimoDy.
Now and then a family is found
where the parents have been animated
with desire to give their children
names that mean something" as in
the case of one where the children
were numbered instead of named. In
other instances the first name had been
bestowed with strict reference to the
significance of the last name.
An English journal records that, not
long since, a clergyman in Noting
hamshire, in baptizing baby, paused
to inquire the name, and was told by
the father: "Shady, sir, if you please" ;"
"Shadyr' replied the minister, then
It's boy, and you mean Shadrach?"
mo, sir, it's girl"
"And what do you mean by giving it
such name as Shady?"
"Why, sir, If you must know, our
name is Bower, and we thought as how
Shady Bower would make such pref
ty name"
This recalls case of a young lady in
q western state who bore the romantic
name of Ivy Green-or bore 1t until
she was married.
Her case was more fortunate than
that of the daughter of q gentleman
girlhood the name of Wild Rose; but,
having married an excellent young
German of the name of Katz, was
fated during the remainder of her life
to sign herself Wild Katzl

A Wholesome Lesson.

A tall, elderly, refned-loo1ing gen
tleman went into a small post Office in
a rural region of England, He asked
some questions relative to the register
ing of letter, and was very sharply,
rudely and unnecessarily snubbed by
young woman in attendance. He
asked her If she thought that was a
proper way to answer an inquiry in
public office. She said she thought
that she had been quite civil enough
for him. He asked her, with an
ominously increasing mildness of man
ner, II she would favor him with her
name She emphatically declined to
do So He then said he thought he
would tell her his name, which, how
ever, she declined to hear, saying that
his name was no concern of hers He
calmly replied that he thought 1t waa.
for he was the postmaster general

STUPENDOUS ERUPTIONS.
Havoc Created by Some of the Larger
Volcanoes.

Volcanoes.
Few people of this country imagine
what terrible work volcano of the
regulation size can do when it once
gets fully aroused. In 1888 Cotopaxi
threw It's fiery rockets more than 5000
feet above the crater, and, in 1867,
when the blazing mass confined in the
same mountain was struggling for an
outlet, it roared SO loud that the awful
noise was heard for a distance of 600
miles. In 1907, says the Philadelphia
Record, the crater of Tunguragua, one
of the great peaks of the Andes, flung
out torrents of mud and lava which
damned up u great river, opened new
lakes, besides making q deposit of
seething mud, ashes and lava 600 feet
deep over the whole area of valley
which was 20 miles long and averaged
1000 feet in width! The stream of lava
which flowed from Vesuvius in 1887
and passed through the Valley of Terre
del Greco is estimated to have been
33,O00,0 900 cubic feet of solid matter.
In 1760 Aetna poured out a flood of
melted stones and ashes which covered
81 square miles of fertile country to a
depth of from 10 to 40 feet. On this
occasion the sand, scoria, lava, ETC.,
from the burning mountain formed
Mount Rosini, peak two miles in cir
cumference and over 1000 feet high.
In the eruption of Vesuvius in the
year 70 A. D., the time of the destruc-
tian of Pompeii, the scoria, ashes, sand
and lava vomited forth far exceeded
a. Il. 4 II L
1860 Aetna disgorged over twenty
times its own mass. Vesuvius has sent
its ashes into Syria, Egypt and Turkey.
1t hurled stones of 800 pounds weight
to Pompeii, distance of six English
miles, during the eruption of 70 A. D.
cotopaxi once projected a block of
stone containing over 100 cubic yards
distance of nine and half miles.

PILGRIMS AT ST. PAUL'S.
The Number Who WearIly Climb to the
Dome Each Day,

Dome Each Day.
There is only one St. Puuls, and upon
the summit of it's dome there is but one
ball. At long intervals a Londoner,
and more frequently a tourist, climbs
to this ball and sticks his head and
shoulders inside. Having done this
and looked upon the heart of the world
from the stone gallery and the golden
gallery, and upon the congregation
from the whispering gallery, he re-
turns to earth and tells his friends and
acquaintances of his feat, and advises
them to follow his example. The num-
Der of persons who make this pilgrim
age averages about forty per day. To
reach the ball it is necessary to climb
six hundred and forty steps of many
varieties. The proportions of the
gilded globe are in perfect keeping
with its surroundings. 1t has diam
eter of six feet, and twelve persons
can stand within its walls. 1t weighs
five thousand six hundred pounds
The gilded cross that towers above it
is fifteen feet in height. From this ball
nearly all London is seen on a clear
day. Why there are SO many kinds of
steps in the cathedral no one pretends
to explain. In the opinion of those
who have counted them, to climb
these steps is equal to covering twenty
miles on an ordinary road. 1t is uni
versally considered, however, that the
return journey is equal to a Russian
bath. The first steps are of wood.
These are succeeded by steps of stone,
and these in turn bv iron 0nes Then
there are ladders, some with a gentle
slant, while others stand so straight
that to those who climb they appear to
lean backward. The first ladder stands
on the crown of the second dome,
where an officer gives necessary direc-
tions to such men as want to see the
ball, for few try to go above the crown
of the dome, being content to rest
there and watch some exceptionally
active sightseer do the rest.
