Nervousness

Ia ONLY another name for impure
blood, tor no person is weak and ner-
yous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
muscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
yOusness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versalIy recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hood Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition OF the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think You are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
ou;ets your nerves! 1t is like trying 10
s.drown" YOUR sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to return.
we wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism: ,,
You cannot purify your blood by
pEApENING or QUIETING your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
mounds. If you take such articles
ron are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be REAc-
TON which will leave you worse than
YOU were before.
Why not then, take the true . course :;
follow the bee-lin to the state OF
health purify your blood ana cure

--sed Powder for . Pillow.

An old miner of Wellington, B. c.,
met death in q dramatic way some two
weeks ago as result Of an odd, reck-
less practice. His long familiarity with
explosives had made him careless. He
always kept his keg of black powder
slowed under his bed in the little
cabin in which he lived aud had q
habit of smoking in bed until he fell
asleep. This might seem criminally
careless to anyone but miner, but
the possibility OF disaster probably
never occurred to the old man or his
neighbors. But what every one else
might have expected happened. Ono
night recently q near neighbor was
awakened by the cracking of flames
and found the old mans cabin was
sfire. Before any help could be rem
Tered the explosion came and the old
miner and his cabin went up.

Africans and the Steamboat.

They were perfectly frantic with
mingled dread and curiosity at sight Of
the steamer. They shouted and danced
and waved their arms in imitation of
our -evolving stern wheel. They fol-
low'id us, running along the banks for
miles together. Occasionally some spe-
c.ally brave ones would rush out into
the water to have long, unobstructed
look Mt US. The expression on the
countenances of the natives on the
shores would make the fortune of nm
actor who could initiate it. They would
stand with their bodies partly turned
away, in order to dart into the bush at
the slightest Indication of danger, over
whelnae6 with awe and inquisitIveness,
few only daring to laugh, while the
whole river echoed with their cxclama-
tons of establishment and their crazy
shouts. When the steamers
whistle was blown the hundreds who
had collected on the bank at once starn-
peded pell-meu over each other and into
the wood and tall grass. Our men greeted
them with shouts of laughter and calls
to come back; but it was to no purpose;
they would not again come 50 near.

GLASS IMITATION Of WOOD.
The Process by Which the Deception Il
Accomplished.

The Process by Which the Deception Il
Accomplished.
A patent has been taken out for a
singular but ingenious process for max
ing glass veneers. The invention re-
lates primarily to the production Of or
namental glass, which may be either
semi-transparent or Opaque. and is
made to represent highly polished wood
of any description. When used for
veneering, it is particularly adapted for
vestibule and other doors, the exterior
Of the glass having the appearance Of
polished wood, while in the interior of
the house it shows serni-tr ansparept.
The process by which the material is
produced is TO cloud a sheet of ground
or plain glass on one side with liquid
dye of the proper color to represent any
desired wood. The dye is applied By
means of a sponge, which is so nanipu-
lated as to bring out the sernblance OF
the grain of the wood upon the surface
OF the glass. A badger brush is used
20 soften the shading. The glass is
then corered with photographers var
nish. This leaves the grain clear and
fast, without the necessity Of using any
re,atinous substance, which would rem
der il liable to crack and spoil the cf-
feet To complete the operation, the
glass is slightly heated. and the various
shades required for the particular wood
70 be initiated are caused TO dow over
