Do you know what is mans worst

Offering all kind of excuses to dodge the
question? The advocates of temperance
will tell you that the abuse of liquor is the
worst enemy of man. Be that as Ii may
we will not argue that point but let the
advocates, pro and con, fight it out for
thousand years to come rs they have IN
the last thousand. When you get all
through talking and arguing and writing
it " i'll be found that mans very worst
enemy Is himself.
He is the hardest one of all the lot to
fight against. His avarice and greed, his
pride and self-will, his selfishness and
lack of charity makes him indeed his
worst enemy.
Hundreds OF men will blame some one
else beside themselves for this or that
failure, disappointment or trouble when
as a matter of fact, they and they alone
could have avoided il il they had been so
disposed.
But there's the rub.
1t is against the grain OF human nature
to acknowledge an error and for that rea-
son man encourages the enemy which Is
reflected when he looks in the glass.
Glass suggests glasses, and glasses sug-
gest j. Putney Il Co., the opticians, at 70
Westminster street, where everything in
the line of glasses to improve the sight
may be obtained. The new protectors
for the eyes are also popular.
But as we were remarking, q man has
an enemy in himself when he will not
take advantage of opportunities offered
to promote health. 1 notice that Pauline
Hall, the opera singer, and party includ-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan B. Harrison,
intend taking an extended bicycl tour in
foreign lands. Wonder IL they will ride
the Victor and Victoria or carry along an
Orient that weighs but 19pounds? The
whitten Cycle Manufacturing Company,
Infantry building, could fit them out IL
they would.
Not only are people enemies to them
selves by not improving their health, but
by not making the proper appearance
In regard to dress. When it is possible,
for instance, to visit one little tailor named
Isaac s. Cole, 398 Westminster street,
and obtain a custom suit OF clothes made
from Scotch plaids, clay worsteds, or parts
OF suits made from foreign and domestic
fabrics Of finest quality, then, in sense,
the man becomes an enemy.

THOSE BOMBS.
The Maker Comes Forward and Says They
Are Harmless.

Yesterday morning Deputy Marshal Sterl-
ing toox one of the bombs-as they were
supposed to be-walked out of the station
and threw it on the sidewalk. The glass
shivered to fragments, there was no ex-
plosien. and the contents of tue glass bulb
appeared to have been merely sweetenad
water.
Last evening young man. the son of a
well known resident of Deering street.
walked into the police office and said he
was the ma1er of the supposed bombs. The
whole thing was intended for joke on a
friend. The3young man is fond Of dabbling
in chemistry. RHe had made the glass bulbs
and filled them with iodide OF potassium.
He took them from his pocket, wrapped
them in a paper. on which he had copied an
old Egyptian Inscription. put in the corner
of the paper the names of Messrs. Reed and
Baxter. wrapped cotton around the bulbs.
put all of these things into an envelope
and dropped them right in the path that
his friend was advancing, supposing he
would pick them up. The friend didn't
notice the envelope, but Officer McCormaok K
did. and the result of his find is now known
all over the country.

Is really only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles 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-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods 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 preparation which only quiets
yournerves! tits like trying to drown
your sorrows in the flowing bowl.
They are sure TO return, teaa- fold qvorse.
We wish to make most impressive,

You cannot purify your blood by

with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM

you are only TRIFLMG with your

health, purify your blood and cure
