 Scrofula,, Salt Rheunl
And All Other Blood Diseases How
 They May Be Cured.

Speaking simply from what Hoods Har- saparilla has done, not only once or twice, but in thousands of eases, we can honestly say that 1t is the best remedy for all dis eases of the blood, whsiever the cause.
 By it's peculiar Combination, rropcr- tion and Process, 1t possesses positive medicinal merit Peculiar to Itself.
 It has cured the most virulent cases of scrofula and Salt Rheum, even when all other prescriptions and medicines have failed to do any good.
 Blood poisoning, from .chateUer cYt- Df,s, yields to its powerful cleansing, puri- lying, vitalizing effect upon the blood. If you desire further particulars, write to us as below. Remember that

ordered Bradbury piano from
our factory a few months ago,
but by some mistake the factory
sent them the finest Bradbury
that is manufactured, entirely
unsuitable for their trade-the
kind of instrument that is al
ways made to order, being far
too expensive to carry in stock.
Seals Bros. wired us immediate

PROTECTION OF IRON COLUMNS.
Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.

Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.
Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department,
Vienna, on the protection Of iron from
fire by casing it with brick. A wrought
iron column IL feet long and built of
two channels connected by lattice bars
was used This was set up in small
chamber constructed of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers. This
done, it was surrounded by % inch
brick wall laid in fire clay mortar. The
wall did not fit closely around the col
umn, and advantage was taken Of this
to fix there samples of fusible metals,
which should serve as a gauge Of the
temperature attained.
Various samples of stone concrete and
other materials were also placed in the
+ chamber within the column. This cham
Der was then filled with split 6rewood,
which was lighted, and the doors i'm
mediately walled up with slabs Of plas-
ter of paris. After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and a
stream of water turned into the room
from IA horsepower fire engine. An
examination of the room next showed
that the walls Of brick, laid in portland
cement, retained their strength, while
most of the material stone left in the
chamber had been destroyed. The cell
ing had been lined partly with plaster
of paris and partly with terra Gotta
tiles. Both were damaged. The inclo-
sure around the iron pillars was still
standing firm, though corners of the
brickwork were clipped one inch or so,
and the fire clay mortar was largely
washed out of the joints On removing
the casing, however, the pillar was
found to be uninjured, even the paint
being unscorched, and the fusible plugs
only showed a temperature Of 149 de-
grees F. -Engineering.

THE FIRST HANSON CAB.
It's First Customers Were Brokers, VIII
Caused 1t to Become Popular.

It's First Customers Were Brokers, Who
Caused 1t to Become Popular.
The first hanson cab in America had
an interesting history. A reminiscent,
voluble, red faced cabby told it late the
other night up by the Thirty third street
stand. 1t was brought over in 1870 or
1871 by John Patent of the Pacific hotel,
in Greenwich street, just above Cort-
landt, and it cost e7O It's driver was old
John Carter Of Liverpool, since de-
ceased, who came to New York in 1861.
The original cab that John Carter drove
was a handsome one, made very much
like those now in use, but it had claret
body and red running gear. An interest
ing feature of it was that it was boil
stored with pair Of patent axles, which
were so complicated that Carter was the
only man who could grease them.
For some reason the cab was not put
into running Immediately after it was
imported, but was laid up in the stable
for y years. Then John Carter ran it
from the Pacific hotel, but there was
not business enough there, and he went
down to the corner of Broad street and
Exchange place, where trade fourished,
and he used to get fares from the big
brokers. Morosini was said to have been
good customer of his, and Jay Gould,
if reports are accurate, rode in it once
or twice. 1t was familiar feature
about the Stock Exchange for four years,
and then it broke down, ending the Ca
reer of the first hanson cab in America.

Pneumatic Tires.

Most people imagine that pneumatic
tires are novelties of recent invention,
and yet they were actually used on Eng
lish roads nearly so years ago. We read
that cat the Bath and west of England
agricultural show, held at Guilford, a
couple of carriage wheels were shown
fitted with pneumatic tires. These were
made by May & Jacobs for the Duke Of
Northumberland AZ years ago, but the
carriage proving too heavy for the horse
they were disused. The tires were con-
structed on almost exactly the same
principle as those in use on cycles today
an inner air chamber, with a stronger
outer cover. When punctured, they
were repaired by the same means as now
adopted. Hardware.

A SLICK HOTEL BEAT.
As . Schemer He Could Give the Clerk

As Schemer He Could Give the Clerk
Points and Not Half Try.
The fellow had no baggage when he
registered first at the Markham House
Saturday, but had very glib tongue
and told such plausible story that he
was permitted to register and given a
room. He was we'll dressed and very
pleasant spoken fellow, and his bill for
extras soon assumed startling proper
lions. The hotel people became alarm
ed, and after he had been there several
days party stopping there told them
he was a beat The clerk fixed up a
scheme, and that evening he got into the
fellows room on some pretext after he
had retired, and calmly gathering up the
fellows coat, vest and pants told him
they could be redeemed at the Office for
the amount of his bill.
The fellows nerve did not desert him
even in this extremity. He borrowed a
macintosh coat from the clerk which
reached to his heels, which he put on
over his underclothing, in order to 60
after some money, and walked to the
Kimball House, where he boldly regis
tered and was shown to a room, leav-
ing word that when his baggage arrived
it was to be kept until he got up in the
morning
At about o'clock on Sunday morn
ing he came jumping down stairs, max
ing a great noise Of tale Of robbery,
in which he had lost his clothes and $50
in cash. The hotel management, with
out stopping to investigate the fellow,
got him a pew suit of clothes and paid
him $S5 rather than have such notorie-
ty attached to the house. The fellow
then walked back to the Markham house,
paid his bill, obtained his clothes and
jumped out of observation-disclosures
