bids for furnishing the the state insti-
tutions with coal New bids were
asked, and when they were opened il
was found that the Northwestern Fuel
Company of st. Paul. was the lowest
bidder. It's figures on Wilmington,
Ill, coal were very low. 1t is said that
it cannot be furnished at the figure
named except at loss. The company
also bid on Youghiogheny coal at
price which would afford profit. The
contract was awarded to the company
for Wilmington coal. 1t is now said
that the engineers of some of the state
institutions have notified the fuel COM
mission that they cannot use the Will

meeting and notified these engineers
that If they could not use this coal the
commission would endeavor to find en-
gineers who could use II. The con-

Nexlectinx a Duty Which Ought to He
Done Now.
On general principles there is no
more foolish method Of taking life
easy than by deferring an obvious
duty. Especially foolish is the per
son who postpones the work Of cleans
ing his blood. There are many rea-
sons why this work should be done in
the spring. This is the cleansing sea-
son, and the blood needs cleansing be-
fore all things else. That tired feel
ing is dLr to a vitiated condition Of the
vital fluid. The pimples and other
eruptions which appear are indications
that the blood has become loaded with
impurities which should be expelled at
once. In no other way can health be
maintained. Now there is but one true
blood purifier prominently in the pub
lie eye to-day. and that is Hoods Sar-
saparilla. BY taking few bottles of
this great blood cleansing medicine
the bodily health can be built up SO
that when the warm weather comes
the system will be able to resist the
debiliating effects of the heated sea
son. Those who start with good health
in the spring, given them by tn
ough cleansing Of the blood by Ho"
Sarsaparilla, will be likely to pass
through the summer without serious
illness, and when the autumn comes
they will find that they are supplied
with strength which they had never
known at that season before. The
work Of cleansing the blood in the
spring is one Of the most important
duties of the season, because pure
blood means good health. and good
health is essential both to happiness
and to the highest usefulness in the
world.

COMMON THINGS.

Playing cards were introduced into
Europe by crusader about 1890 to
amuse Charles w., King Of France,
who had fallen into gloomy state Of
mind bordering on madness. The
hearts were designed to represent the
ecclesiastics; the diamonds represent.
ed the tradesmen and merchanics,
hence the figure now called diamond.

clubs We're trefoils or clover grass
designed to represent the farmers.
, while the spades, originally intended
for'pikes, or lance points. stood for the
nobility.
Bottled ale, rendered mellow by long
keeping, was an accidental discov.
cry. 1t was made by Alexander New
ell. Dean Of st. Paul's. in the reign of
Queen Mary. Newell was obnoxious
to Bonner. and the latter had sent sol.
diers to apprehend him; but it hap
pened on that day Newell was out fish

had buried 1t In the bank. Getting in
'timation Of his danger, he fed, forget

the Continent; whence. returning some
years later. he remembered his beer,
dug it up and found it wonderfully I'M

Spectacles were invented In Italy
about 1855! They were at first very ex-
pensive, so were worn only by wealthy
persons or noblemen, and SO came to be
regarded rs mark Of rank. When this
fact came to be recognized. the idea
grew prevalent that the larger the
spectacles the greater tho dignity they
conferred on the wearer, and the
glasses grew to prodigious size There
are two or three busts still extant of
Italian gentlemen Of this age who In
sisted that their spectacles should also
be represented In the marble and in
one Of these cases the lenses are nearly
three inches in diameter.

Nero was mentally and morally a

Beethoven seems to have been al
