Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to it.
self, In a strictly medicinal sense, in
three important particulars, viz: first
>n the combination of remedial agents
used; second, in the proportion in
which they arc mixed; third, in the
process by which the active curative
properties of the preparation are Sc
cured. These three important points
make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar in
its medicinal merit, as it accomplishcs
cures hitherto unknown.
But 1t is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the
story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla has
done for others is reason for confidence
that 1t is the medicine for YOU.

Ino conservatives VINO nave Dcen as
dumb as oysters for two years are told
that they are prosecuted because they
are not democrats. If opposition to
Tillman and his methods, his dispen-
sary and spies and that sort of opposi-
ton INDUCED by sucking doves, puts
them out of the fold, they are not dem
ocrats. So the wolf complained that
che lamb muddied the water and the
lamb impudently answering that he is
below the wolf in the stream, the wolf
ate him for his supper. Thus the con-
servatives are warned that they must
not organize and exercise the right of
manhood and form q political associ-
alton of their own.

Under the popular doctrine of evolu-
ton or moro strictly "sclection," very
small animal productions have resulted
in q small State like South Carolina.
Thus we have diminutive intellectual
specimens developed. Liliputian poll
ticians seem to think hat Gen. Butler
prefers his own interest to that of true
democracy. Gen. Butler answers the
picayune insinuation and says that his
interest must not be regarded when
the interest Of true democracy is in
volved. Gen. Butler is a product Of
the environment of the "wide, wide
world and of no pent up Utica.

Had it not oc- cured that those unusually persistent political enemies, Hamilton and Jeffer- son, joined forces in favor of the mint it is likely that its establishment would have been even longer delayed. The first goldpieces were struck in l795, and gold was coined from that time on continuously for years. For some req son, however, the silver dollar failed to circulate freely, and in 1894 their coin age was suspended until 1880, when 1000 were struck. No omore were coined after that till 1889, when 300 were is- sued. After that silver dollars were coined every year, but it was not until 1869 that the number minted any one year exceeded 100, 900, and it was not until 1871 that more than 1000, 900 wCrc turned out in l2 months.
 In 1877 gold quite disappeared from

 The mint at Philadelphia, where the first federal money mill was established, has always been the main coinage place of the government as to number of pieces, though not as to value thereof The gold coinage has been done prir- cipally at San Francisco since the open ing of the mint there, which followed the discovery of gold. The Philadelphia mint is an extremely interesting institu- tion, especially to the numismatist, for there is to be seen the largest collection of coins in the United States, including specimens of the continental dollars coined bv the colonies before the estab- lishmcnts ,f thr federal mint and fig urcd here.

HIS DIAGNOSIS.
Mike Assured His Patient That the Worst
 Fears Were Realized.

II heard an awfully good story illustra- tive of the system pursued by tho medical quackS while in Baltimore the other day" said F.. w. CrCcCy to a pleasant cOtCrio at tho Arlington recently. It was new to me, so I'll give it to you. A man named Mike DOoley had been employed for num- Der of years as driver by well known physician, who fell i'll and died. Mike was disconsclatc over his employers death. He was out of a job and was unfittcd for any other employment save driving a doctors buggy from patient to patient and mapping during tho visits. He sat around the house in a morose and mournful sort of way un- til his energetic wife grew weary.
 Phy don't yez shtir yezse'f an do sumthinr' she inquired, with indignation.
 "'Shure, an phwat kin Oi do?' he re- turned.
 "'Do!' she repeated. 'Av Oid been wid a docther foortano years an sax munts, Oid know cnuff to be a docther moise'f.'
 Mike frightened up. Ho knew nOth- ing of course about medicine except few grandiloqucnt phrases he had heard his master use in its praises. However, he hung out his sin, and next day a woman called.
 '' Is the doctor in!' she asked.
 "'Oi'm tn docthcr, mom,' responded Mike.
 "'Thcn wish you would tell me what Is the matter with me, she remarked in the plaintivc tone of n chronic invalid
 "'Twinty dollars, mom, nv you blaze, , said Mike scntentiously. The woman demurred.
 'ScOinCe, nom, an a knowledge av tarrespOOtics air On'y acquired boi the axpinditoor av grate toll an toime an mum ny. So, mom, moi fay air invariably in advance
 "Whcn Mike fired that at her, she gave up the SEQ without another word.
 Lit me say yure tung, mom, demand cd Mike. The woman obcyed.
 Lit me fale pure pools, he continued. And she extended her hand. Lit me heer the b'atin av yure hairt | and Mike, with an air of serious study, | laid his shock head against the patient 6 bosom. After a moment he drew 1t away, with n jump.

He Says They Are UnproltabIe to Labor
 and Advi.ss Arbitration.
 FROsTDCRG, Md, Oct. 1.-Cardinal Gib- bons, in q sermon on the labor question here said in part: Before tho coming of Christ manual labor was held in de ' radiation and re:egated to slaves as Icing unworthy of freo men. Christ our Sa- viour has dignifcd and ennoblcd labor by word and example He was pleased to devote many years of his life to mechan- ical pursuits, and ever since he worked in the carpenter shop he shci halo around the workshop.
 Labor has it's rights, chief among which is the privilege of organizing with ont infringing upon their employers. One of the most difficult questions in our times to discuss Is the question of strikes. Strikes, aS experience has demonstrated, are very questionable for the redress of the laEorcrs' grievances statistics furnished show that tho loss tO the employees by strikes for eight years amounted to nearly SIS, 0U0, OuO while the employers lost only one half this amount
 T earnestly hope that some efficient remedy will be found to put an end to our recurring strikes. and arbitration seems to be the most potent that can be conceived of.

How nindoos Use Their Feet.

In the native quarters of the towns it i- no uncommon sight to see q butcher sriz" piece of meat in his hands and cut it in two with stroke of his knife held between tho first and second toes of his foot. The shoemaker uses no last, but turns tho unfinished shoe with his feet. while his hands are busy in shaping it. The carpenter also holds the board he is cutting with his great toe, and tho wood turner uses his tools as we'll with his toes as his hands.
