Good Appetite,

Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong. The loss of a ra-
tional desire for food is soon followed by
lack of strength, for when the supply of
fuel is cut off the fire burns low. The
system gets into low state, and is liza
BILE to severe attacks of disease The
universal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to its
great merits in restoring and sharpening
the appetite, in promoting healthy action
of the digestive organs, ana as a purifier
of the blood. constitutes the strongest
recommendation that can be urged for
any medicine. Those who have never
used Hoods Sarsaparilla should surely
do SO this season.

said lady to the writer, yet my COM
Election is so bad that it occasions me
constant modification. What can l do
to get rid of these dreadful blotches?''
Take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

complexion indicates that you are suf-

Remove the cause of the blotches and
your cheeks will soon wear the hue OF
health. The 'Favorite Prescription is a
wonderful remedy for all diseases pecu-

give satisfaction. But it never fails.
Try it." The lady followed my advice,
and now her completion is as clear as a

she has for many years.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and bafflSd the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most nauseous
and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to,
and the records show very few or no
cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh
by any of the many mades of treatment
until the Introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success OF
this preparation has been most crafty
ing and surprising. No druggist is with
out it.

BICYCLE BUILDERS.
France Boldly Takes Credit for the
Invention.

The success of the bicycle in France
is great. According to their custom
in such cases the French are now
about to erect a large and artistic
monument to commemorate their de-
votion to the wheel.
The qualities of the bicycle are
recognized by Frenchmen to be sport
ing. hygienic, Industrial, commercial,
war-like, and pacific. The popularity
of it has been largely promoted in
France by that very popular news
paper, the Petit Journal, which since
1891 has regularly eXtolled the merits
of an exercise which up to that time
was regarded as good only for mad
English.
The French give the credit for first
converting the old velocipede into
bicycle to Pierre Michaux, Partisan
carriageraker of the Avenue DAN
tin. With the assistance of his son
Ernest he fitted, in 1861, a pedal to
/ the front wheel of the bicycle of the
| period.
The machine adapted by him was
1 very popular during the last years OF
| the second empire.
| The war ruined the Michaux. The
budding sport of cycling died with
| them, or became dormant for long
time England profted by French
ingenuity and developed the bicycle
and it's use from 1870 and 1880.
Here it should be remarked that it
would be interesting to hear from
English bicycle-makers and bicycle
antiquaries on these points.
Thanks again, say the French, to
Paris mechanic named Truffault,
who is still alive, The hollow wheel,
with tire of hollow rubber, made the
bicycle more practicable. The appli-
cation of Vaucanson's chain to the
Iropelling wheel, now placed behind,
was the work of a third French work
man, named Vincent, the father Of
the mechanical horses, beloved Of
French youth.
The safety, or "bicyclette," as it is
. styled in France, succeeded the high
bicycle of Michaux about 1880. Tt
did not flourish until NJ Pierre Gift
t fard, of the Petit Journal, the first
. man of wit and letters to approve of
it, went to it's aid. The famous race
from Paris to Brest, which he or
) ganized, was the beginning of the
triumphal career which now reaches
I | an apotheOSiS.

A TRIP THROUGH INDIA.

Bombay is London orientalized. In
one sense of the word, one cannot
help feeling the British at noSphere
Oh every hand. 1t is a cosmopolitan
town and Midway Plaisance on
large scale.
Red -jacketed English soldiers stalk
the streets, the absurd little forage
caps having given place to the more
military looking pipe-clayed pith-
helmets, with accurately folded pug
carries, but still rather absurd-looking
in my humble opinion, at least-by
reason of the absurd little canes they
are required to carry. Why soldier
should be compelled to carry a doll
baby cane when off duty / could
rever imagine, except that his su-
perior officers see it is advisable for
him to carry something in his hands
to keep them busy. The native SOL
dierly We're far more impressive and
military looking men than the "Tom-
my Atkinsons." For the most part
they are magnificent specimens of
manhood-handsome, TALL eagle-eyed,'
with Il magnificent carriage and SUI
perb bearing. Their uniforms, a sort
of compromise between the conven-
tional British dress and the native
costume, are wonderfully becoming
to them, the gorgeously- -cOlOred tur
bans forming a finishing touch that
leaves nothing to be desired from an
artistic point of view.
Apart from these, the streets are
thronged with a most cosmopolitan
crowd. Government officials, in white
duck uniforms; Parsees, with their
curious looking hats, that look more
like the double crowns of the ancient
kings of Egypt, as depicted on the
Pyramids, than anything else; Arabs,
Hindus, Chinese, and natives of the
city itself, all in their own peculiar
national garb. Here and there we
see gaunt and grizzled fakir, half
nude, with his magic flute and basket
of cobras, and perhaps tugging an
unwilling monkey in his wake that is
grinning from sheer nervousness or
disgust.
In the midst of all this, buggies
and stylish-looking dog-carts are pass
ing to and fro, many driven by sweet
faced English girls, looking tempting
ly delightful in their dainty gowns
of swiss or lawn-perpetual summer
girls in this balmF clime.-Alphonse
