TENNYSON ON SPRING.

We have the word of Alfred Tennyson
for it that in the spring the young mans
fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love.
1t is singular that the great laureate
omitted to mention the fact that it is in
the Spring that considerable portion of
the human race turn to take Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Probably nothing but the
difficulty Of finding a good rhyme for
that Invaluable remedy deferred him.
him. Certain it is that the oldtime do
nestle remedies are generally discarded
in favor of the standard blood purifier
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which has attained
the greatest popularity all over the
country as the faverite spring medicine.
1t purities the blood and gives nerve.
mental, bodily and digestive strength.

Yawning.

There are great many things about
breathing that people do not happen to
know. Yawning, which is the relief that
the lungs take when the air comes too
slowly, is a necessary act and is, like ev-
erything designed by nature, for an excel
lent purpose. 1t is beneficial to catarrh
and to all affections of the throat 1t dis
tends the muscles of the throat and nose.
