RHEUMATISM.
Torture and Agony are it's Attendants, In
Addition to this, the Fear of
Sudden Death.

/ Rheumatism, as is we'll known, is caused by
acids existing in the blood, due to poisonous
secretiOnS from some of the great life centres
OF the body; which, If not counteracted and
carried off increases from day to day, causing
the sufferer endless pain, until the disease
finally reaches the heart, where, by sudden
contraction the end is suddenly reached. The
cfre for this terrible affection is in every
instance Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. Il acts
directly on the stomach liver and kidneys,
promoting perfect action of these organs. In
addition 1t parifes the blood, which thus
enriched, dispels all poisonous secretions and
performs its natural function of nourishing tie
body. One Of many instances where it has
been benefit is the case of Mrs. Jennie Cham.
eers, of Ridgway, California, who writes: II

Qropsy. l had been afflicted for years, and
tfied all our local doctors and many medicines,
but could get no relief. My limbs were SO
badly swollen l could not stand. commenced
using tbs Kickapoo Indian Remedies, and in
eeven days the pains were all gone. The
Dropsy was cured, and thank the good Lord

Indian Sagwa. You may use my name if you
Wish. Everyone in this county knows me-"
Sufferers everywhere should follow Mrs.
Chambers example. Use Kickapoo Indian
Oh for external application; it relieves the
local pain, while the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa

system. The Kickapoo Indian Remedies are
absolutely harmless, and may be obtained at
eN druggists. Kickapoo Indian Oil, 25 cents

Anarchists in France.

About 1000 persons in France are
marked as anarchists and are con-
stantly watched by the police of the
various European countries, Of whom
500 are French and 1900 are for
eigners, Italy leading with 500, fol-
lowed by Switzerland with 800, Ger
many and Russia with 24O each, Aus
tria and Belgium with 60 each. AS
regards occupation, shoemakers, car
penterS and day laborers of all ma
tons furnish large proportions of the
anarchists, while the educated pro-
fessions hardly appear. German tail
ors and printers, Swiss watchmakers
and farmers, Italian clerks and bakers
and French walters and persons with
out avowed business tend more to an
archy than those of other national
ties. The Russians differ from all
others in that 80 per cent Of tie per-
sons under surveillance are students,
another 80 per cent professional men,
and hardly per cent have occupa tons
requiring no educa tion.-Le Figaro.

THE CZAR's CORONATION
NoAl Springs Ceremonies VIII Cost
Over $5,OOO,OOO.

HoAS SDrAngS Ceremonies Will Cost
Over $5,OOO,OOO.
The imperial coronation shortly to
take place in Moscow will doubtless
be one of the grandest state displays
ever witnessed in Europe. Russian
toronations are not numerous; an &C.
. ion Of this kind comes but once in
.. lifetime, and the policy of the Rus
sian imperial family has always been
to dazzle the eyes Of their subjects by
magnificent court dramas, In which
the car 1s really car. To this end
Russian coronations have been made
as splendid as the resources Of the en-
pire could permit. The coronation Of
the emperor who has just passed away
cost over 100000; that of his pred
ecessor considerably over $4,000, OOO;
but In case a show was provided for
the people Of Russia that was wildly
remembered until supplanted in the
popular mind by the splendors of the
next The coronation is regarded as
much more than the simple act Of
placing bauble on the head Of the
first man in the state; it is series
OF gorgeous ceremonials, and the peo-
pie of every nation that forms a part
OF the greatest empire on the earth
are required, through their representa-
tives, to assist, while the spectacle is
made still more brilliant by the pres
ence of the ambassadors of every
power on the the globe, and Of large
numbers of princes Of the reigning
houses, for royalty always assemblies
on these occasions to congratulate the
newly crowned monarch.
The preparations for Russian cor
onation are very elaborate, and COM
prise, among other things, the laying
up of great stores Of provisions in
Moscow, for the houses of that ven
cradle city are compelled, on corona
ton occasions, to entertain from $780,
600 to 100000 strangers who journey
to witness the ceremonies. Every
province in the empire sends a depu-
tation; every tribe in the far-aWay
districts Of Siberia, on the steppes Of
Central Asia, from the Khivans to the
Esquimaux along the shores of Boring
strait, sends one or more representa-
tiveS to present the homage of the
tribe to the great White Gar. Poles,
Finlanders, Laplanders, Cossacks, Rus
slams Of dozen names, Circassians,
Georgians, Bashkirs, Turks-for the
Russian empire contains millions of
Mohammedans, Tcherkesses, Abas-
slams, Calmucks, Tartars, Karapapaks,
Daghistanis, Armenians, Kurds, Chi
nese from the districts conquered by
Russia from China, Mongols, deputies
from dozens of wandering nations in
the heart of Asia; for over fifty Ian
guages and double that number Of dia-
lects are spoken in the Russian do
minions, and the people Of every Ian
guage must present their homage to
the car in their own tongue. The i'm
perial coronations always take place
in the Cathedral Of the Assumption,
one Of the many in the Kremlin.-Bos.

What a Mans Tailor Knows,

A we'll known fashionable Chestnut
street tailor declares, as the result of
many years observation, that but one
man in 100 has square shoulders; that
is, shoulders Of an equal height. When
Buffalo Bill, whose magnificent ply
siQue has been the admiration Of two
hemispheres, was last in this city he
was measured for a suit of clothing in
this sartorial establishment, and when
the many mysterious figures had been
called off, the craftsman cried out to
the clerk: Low left shoulder" Col.
Cody Indignantly exclaimed: whats
that? There's nothing the matter with
my shoulders" And it required con-
| siderable argument to convince him
| that his right shoulder was very con-
siderably higher than the left, the ex-
PLANTATION being found in the fact that
in shooting his right shoulder is lifted
| much higher than it's fellow. Travel
| ing statesmen are noticeably lower in
the right shoulder, by reason Of the
fact that they are almost continually
carrying heavy packages with the
right hand. In fact, nearly all men
are lower in the right shoulder, but
| small minority, especially newspaper
writer's and bookkeepers, are lower in
the left shoulder, as result of the
position which they assume in writing,
the support of the right elbow on the
desk throwing the right shoulder up
ward. This is not visible in many peo-
pie when walking the streets, because
careful merchant tailors remedy the
defect by little extra padding in the
shoulder which is lowest.-Philadel.

Restaurant Cranks

Plenty of cranks haunt the table
d'hotes. One who is conspicuous in
the Tenderloin centers owns a white
rabbit that he always carries with
him, and for which he orders a large
portion of lettuce while he solemnly
consumes his own meal. Bunny is at
tached to his masters coat collar by
large silver chain and roams in and
out of the capacious pockets at will
Another habitue of the same establish
ment absorbs two complete dinners,
from hors d'oeuvres to coffee, one
after the other. At another restaurant
not far away fo1lorn-looking, middle
aged woman also orders two dinners,
but one of them Is served on the op-
posite side Of the table and the
courses are carried away untouched
when she has finished her own. Posi-
bly, a romance is concealed in the un-
touched courses. She alone can tell

Electric Freak in g. Tunnel.

North Adams continues to be puz-
lied over a queer crankism Of electri-
city in its vicinity. Although when
the great four and one-half mile
Hoosac Tunnel was built no ores, mag
netic or otherwise, were encountered,
there was a general expectation that
rich ore pockets would be found; yet,
for an unexplained reason, not an cleo
trlcian has been discovered who can
send a Geographic message on a wire
running from portal to portal of that
tunnel, be such wire run inside OF an
ocean cable through the huge cavern
or out of it. Therefore, such messages
have to be sent on wires strung on
poles over the top Of the mountains,
fully nine miles, aud that is the way
in-going and outgoing passenger and
freight trains are heralded to the keep
ers of the two tunnel approaches

STORY OF A VAGRANT.

lie Came Back Home to Be Sent to
the Penitentiarv.
He was old and bent His white hair
and beard were matted. His clothing
was in tatters. He carried a crooked
cane which would be conspicuous in a
gallery Of antiques. The old man him
self might not have been out Of place
in such an exhibition. He trudged
through the streets of Hoboken, an
object of curiosity and of pity. He
stopped in front of the city hall a
moment and then walked through the
side entrance, where the sign RE
corder's Court" was displayed. The at
tendant at the door stopped him. "This
is no place for you," he said
II want to see Recorder McDonough,"
said the old man. Hes a friend OF
mine" The attendant laughed. "He's
a friend of mine," repeated the old
man. "He was ten years ago when
I was here"
He's out of town. said the at
tendant, land you can't see him. May
be Justice McColloch will do?"
ne leu Tie ola man up TO the rail
The man said he wanted to go to the
penitentiary. He was friendless and
homeless. He said he was Frank H
Abry, and had lived in Hoboken forty
years. His face was remembered by the
justice. He had lost everything he had
His wife and family were dead. He
had been incapacitated for work and
had been in recent years a wanderer
He had been absent nearly ten years
and had come back to Hoboken acct
dentally in his wanderings. He want
ed to be sent away to place where he
could rest. The justice made out a
thirty-day commitment to the Snake
Hill Penitentiary and handed it to him,
The old man cried as he took it. The
Justice told him the van would be along
pretty soon and he might ride to prison,
NO." said the old man, 1.-The walk
will do me good;" and as he started
out of the station and up First street
toward Snake Hill he looked ten years
younger. His step was quicker, his
back was straighter and his head was
held higher.

HE GOT A DIG AT HIM.

It Was In Kentucky and It Was His
Rival Whom He Was Anxious to Worry.
From the New York Tribune: He
and her father were great friends. AS
only four persons figure in this story,
it is unnecessary to mention names.
He had a rival for her affections, and
her father could never understand why
she preferred the rival to him. One
day when he sat on the porch chatting
to her father, she called him into the
parlor and told him frankly that she
had promised to marry his rival. He
did not plead or beg. He kissed her
hand with a sort of reverence and then
returned to his seat on the porch and
renewed the conversation with her
father. In those few moments every
thing seemed to have changed for him.
The sun did not shine as brightly, the
birds did not sing as they did before.
Even the grass and trees seemed scar
and dead. He had expected what he
just heard, but that did not seem to
abate the shock. He was distract and
moody. Her father saw this and asked
him the cause. He blurted out the
whole miserable truth. Her father con-
tinued to polish his glasses carefully
and then said:
"Wimmen folks is mighty onsartin'
critters" Her father said nothing
more, but nothing would change her
mind. Gradually it came to be gener-
ally known that he had been rejected
and that his rival was the fortunate
wooer. They, he and his rival, were
alumni of the same college. He was
down for speech at the alumni din
ner. A month before he had attended
her wedding. No one ever heard him
complain, though all knew how he suf-
fered. He was looked upon as the ora
tor Of his class, and great speech was
expected. When he arose a sinister
glitter could be seen in his eye. He be-
gan to speak slowly. He took as his
text Acquired Tastes"~ He spoke at
length. Finally he said:
II called upon a dear friend some
time ago who had just had a daughter
married. He felt his loss very keenly.
I tried to console him, telling him that
while he had lost daughter he had
gained son. He said slowly to me:
MAYBE I will come to like him after
a while-like 7 do my cigar, but the
first few puffs are making me mighty
SICK"
1t was in Kentucky. Not a word was
said then, but just as the sun
peeped over the hills the next day two
dark forms were seen silhouetted
against the sky. There were two
flashes, a combined, subdued report
and one fell, never to rise again. It
was he.

A FILTER INSIDE YOU
HOW YOUR BLOOD Is KEPT PURE
Health Comes From Pure Hood
Pure Blood Depends ON Your
Filter Inside Zoo.
Your Kidneys Keep Your Blood Pure
If They Are Well. "A Few Facts
About Them, and How to
Make Them Well When
They Are Sick

Your blood is what nourishes your
body.
New blood is made every minute. It
goes to the lungs, gets fresh air, and
then passes through the body. In pass
ing, it deposits new flesh, fat, bones,
ETC., and takes up worn out matter.
This worn out matter goes to the
kidneys. The kidneys filter it out of
the blood and throw it out Of the body.
That is, when they are we'll, they do.
When your kidneys are we'll, they act
as perfect filters, to keep your blood
pure. When they are sick, they act
imperfectly. They leave the bad mat
ter in. Sometimes they take out the
good.
There is nothing more poisonous
than bad blood.
A proof of this is rheumatism. 1t is
simply blood-poisoning caused by
the bad matter left in the blood by
sick kidneys.
Brights disease is the kidneys work
ing the other way-takfng the good
food out of the blood.
Both kinds Of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
One of the most wonderful facts Of
our body is this natural filter inside us.
Our kidneys are very important Or
CANS. We don't take enough care Of
them. We are sick oftener than there
Is any need for. It is simply because
we take no heed to our kidneys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases.
rheumatism and Bright's Disease
are very common. Anaemia, Neural
gia, Pain in the Back, Dizziness, Blad-
der Trouble, Gravel, Diabetes, Sleep
lessness, Nervousness.
These are only few symptoms, or
so-called diseases" Back of them all
are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made to work,
all these symptoms will disappear.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are made principally from the roots OF
the asparagus plant, which has a spe-
cial curative action on the kidneys. 1t
gives them new life and strength. 1t
helps them to do their work as it ought
to be done. It cures their sickness. 1t
cleans and reDews the filter.
When the kidneys are we'll you will
feel a great difference at once. Your
complexion will clear, and your whole
body will get renewed life and fresh
ness.
This is the effect of DR.. Hobbs Spar
agus Kidney Pills on the sick kidneys,
of the re-vitalized kidneys on the i'm
pure blood.
With a course of DR.. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills you will get new life.
They will cure you when other medi-
cines, which do not reach the real seat
Of disease, cannot help you.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are for sale by all druggists, price, SOC.
per box, or will be sent prepaid to any
address on receipt Of price.
An interesting booklet, explaining
about the kidneys and their power for
good and evil, sent free on request.
