even after the disease has progressed SO
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
cop1ous expectoration (including tubercu-
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emu1sions" and
mixtures had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
ski1lfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience. AddressWoRLD'S DISPEN-

GLAoIToRiAL SHOWS.
How the People of Ancient Rome Used ts
Amuse Themselves.

-hhiuse nemsGIRess
Under the republic there were seven
performances annually, lasting in all
about sixty-six days. These were paid
for by the state, and usually cost
couple OF thousand pounds of English
money. Sometimes, however, games
were given by some public-spirited in
diyidual who desired to gain popular
ity, or by sorrowing mourners at the
funeral OF friends or relations. Under
the empire the time occupied by these
spectacles was increased to one hun
dred and seventy-three days annually,
and even more, while the cost of a
brilliant show rose to seven or eight
thousand pounds sterling. The games,
which usually began at sunrise and
lasted till sunset, consisted of three
distinct kinds, i. e., horse and chariot
races, eombats between gladiators, and
combats between men and wild beasts;
but into these many variations were
introduced.
The gladiators We're, for the most
part, criminals or prisoners of war; but
a certain number of volunteers took
part-patricians, and even emperors,
occasionally appearing in the lists.
After time schools for gladiators
We're established in Rome, and the
champions We're exalted into public
idols. Their bonnes fortunes were
proyerbial, their praises were sung by
the poets, and their portraits appeared
upon lamps and vases. The condemned
criminals did not invariably meet their
death in the arena If they survived
three years of fighting with men and
beasts they were released from their
gladiatorial duties, while five years
spent in the profession gave them their
freedom.
The performances were advertised
by means of atfiches pasted on walls
or buildings. On one of these placards,
discovered at Pompeii, it is announced
that shelter will be provided for the
spectators in case of rain; in another
that the arena will be well watered. in
order that the dust may be laid. The
night before the spectacle began a
great banquet was given to the glad
iators, presumably the volunteers or
hired champions. At daybreak these
heroes marched in procession to the
amphitheater, and, after the signal had
been given by blast of trumpets. the
fun began. The emperor and public
officers attended in state, great eere-
mony was observed and the citizens
were expected to appear in their best
attire IN rainy weather mantle
might be worn over the toga on eondi-
tion that it was removed when the
grandees arrived. In the intervals
slaves staggered round, laden with
huge baskets of provisions, which were
distributed gratuitously, while fruit,
nuts, and small presents were scattered
among the crowd by wealthy patrie-
ians.-Cornhill Magazine.

THE RAFFEIsEN SOCIETIES.

Admirable system OF Agricultural Banks in
Germany.
From an economic point of view there
is no financial institution in existence
which is more solid. more beneficial in
results, or more easy to administer
than the Ratfeisen societies, or agricul-
tural banks of Germany. few far

ton. Out of the thousands of these
banks established in different parts of
the country not one has ever been the
cause of "A loss to either its founders or
members. The essential charactistics
of each bank are as follows: Each
bank deals only with its own district or
parish, All the members are mutually
responsible for the assets and debts of
the society, which insures a great fa-
cility for borrowing the small sums
they require to lend. This rural asso-
citation has no capital; its members
have no subscriptions to pay; they only
lend borrowed capital. ANY surplus

The reserve grows indefinitely. and
when it becomes too large it is en-
ployed on improvements which will
benefit the local community. Never
do the members of the society receive
a farthing in the form of dividends, nor
do the directors get any payment or
fees whatever for their services, The
society lends only to its members and
for purpose which is deemed satisfac-
tory. 1t arranges beforehand with the
borrower the times at which the money
is to be repaid, the dates usually fall

principal receipts for the year. The
results of this excellent arrangement
can easily be guessed. 1t draws the

The strong facial resemblance
which married couples often acquire
after living together a long period of
years, harmonious in thought and feel
ing, and subject to the same conditions
in life, have often been commented
upon. The Photographic society of
Geneva recently took the pictures of
seventy-eight couples for an investiga-
ton of this subject The result was
that in twenty-four cases the resem-
blance in the personal appearance of
the husband and wife was greater than
that of brother and sister, in thirty
cases il was equally great, and in only
twenty-four was there a total absence
of resemblance.
