That Tired eel

impoverished blood. If your blood
could always be rich and pure, full Of

tally depends, You would never be
Weak, or Nervous! Boils, pimples,
scrofula, salt rheum, would never
trouble you. But our mode OF living,
shut in all winter in poorly ventilated
homes and shops, depletes the blood
and there is loss Of appetite and
weakness. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
standard remedy for this condition.
1t purifes, vitalizes and enriches the
blood, overcomes that tired feeling,
builds up the nerves and gives perfect
health. Read this:

There Are Some Things That Should Not
Be Believed In Too Credulousy.
1t was raining in torrents as soli-
tary horseman might have been seen
riding along a country road at least
seven miles and seven furlongs from
any sort of shelter. He had on his very
best clothes and not so much as hand
kerchief to wrap around his neck to
shield him from the fury of the ele-
ments.
His suit had cost him sixty live dol
lars in cash only the week before. and
he wore new silk hat for which he
still owed eight dollars. 1t was a hol-
iday for him and, attired in his very
best, he had set forth on hired horse,
to pay call which was of no momen-
tous interest to him.
1t was eighteen miles in the country,
and he had set out early that morning
light-hearted and happy. 1t was day
off for him, and there was not a wave
of care upon the placid bosom of the
whole ocean of his happiness. The
birds sang in the trees by the road
side, the lambs frisked in the fields,
the brooks babbled merrily beyond
the hedge-rows, and all nature was
a-smile.
Surely they must have known what
was in his heart and must have felt
the tough of the vagrant god who
makes all things listless and lazy.
And why should they not give him
cheer? And why should he not be hap
by in the glorious sunshine of this
more glorious day?
For was he not the chief clerk of
the weather bureau for that district,
and had he not, after hours of erudite
calculation, reached his conclusion and
announced in the usual place in the
paper this bulletin:

retains. With the left hand pass the
ring toward your assistants left thumb
as far as it will go. Between the ring
and his right thumb the string will be
crossed. Carefully observe which is the
top string. If you mistake it you will
spoil the trick. Take 1t between the
forefnger and thumb Of your left hand,
and loop it on your assistants left
thumb. Fig. Q fully illustrates the rel
alive positions. 1t will be observed
that the string, by looping, has drawn
your assistants hands close together.
Then tell the assistant to close his
thumbs and foretingers, shat there
may be no deception, and also to press
his hands gently apart. Release the
loop held by your right-hand forefnger,
and give the ring a smart pull with
your left hand, and the ring is released
from the ing.-Philadelphia Press.

A mIscHiEvous GROW.

Mo Likes to Have tho Boys Throw Snow
balls at Him.
Strangely enough, there was nothing
of which he stood so much in fear as
crows themselves. Often they would
come perilously near and ''caw" at him.
Helter-skelter he would fly to the house,
and his relief was plainly manifested
when he was safe inside the kitchen.
Their wild life evidently had no charm
for him. He was in terror OF large
snakes, too, but small ones he gobbled
np as fast as he could. 1t was most
effectual way of preventing them from
frightening him when they grew bigger.
No attention was given to his educa-
9ion, but at last we discovered that he
could repeat a word or phrase OF con-
wersation he had just heard. He could
laugh like human being, and initiate
the cackling of hen. ''Stop!" "Hello"
<.Hold on!' were favorite expressions
of his, and generally his use OF them
was intelligent. He liked to perch on
top of the barn and shout out stop"
at the farmers who went by in their
wagons. If they refined in their horses,

called them, the success OF his little
Joke would cause Jim to burst into inn
moderate laughter.
He actually enjoyed being snow
hailed. He would stand upon an old
tree stump, and look saucily at the
boys, as much as to say: Come, now,
here's good shot! Why don't you hit
ne?" But Jim was always too quick
Tor them. No boy ever could hit him.
He would dodge like lightning, laugh
ing hoarsely as the ball flew harmlessly
past or broke in pieces on the other side
OF the stump. Then up he would hop
again, with another challenge, ready
for the next SNOWFALL.
He was not afraid of gun. He
would stand close by while one was
being loaded, and it could be fred off a
number Of times without having any
perceptibie effect on him. But he was
lzeenly alive to it's danger, and the very
moment the muzzle was pointed at him

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced In the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectuafiy cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

he lost no time In getting out Of the
way.
Jim YVES very mischievous crow
indeed. When Grace, the baby, was
learning to walk, he would seize her
slyly by the dress, and cause her % fall.
He would peck at the toes of the bare
footed children who came for water,
and laugh heartily as he drove them
dismayed from the yard. Sometimes
he would steal unnoticed down into the
cellar. The blows he would give with
his beak had the force of a small ham,
sner, so that 1t was very easy matter
for him to turn the spigot of a barrel.

Of England. Among other questions,
he asked: What Is the cause of dew?'
No one could answer. Come" said

DismantIine the hartford.

VEL1EJo, March S-Another step
was taken this morning in the rapid
dismantling of the Hartford. The
old frigate's bow piece was hoisted
out and now lies on tho seawall. The
fgurehead, which Is still attached to
the bow timber, is merely a scroll
pattern gilded; much of the gold
still remains intact. The ribs thus
far uncovered show signs of consid
cradle dry rot. and unless the con-
dition of the wood amidships proves
sounder. there will not be much
chance to obtain wood for canes.
Some mechanics ascribe the unex
pected rottenness in the bow to the
fact of the ships lying so long in the
stream, where the In and out going
tides would wear continually on this
portion of the hull.
