ing Park Association has written to make
a match if possible between the racing
horse Hal billiard (204%), owned by
Thomas c. Parsons of Cleveland, and
Robert J. (2:0lH), owned by G. J. Hamlin

race any horse for six meetings in success
sion for $500 each race. l will go him
four meetings better and will be willing
to begin at Saginaw and continue as far
through the grand circuit as possible, and
after that on the other tracks. Ten races
in as many consecutive weeks have been
decided on
Colonel Parsons is confident that Hal
billiard will pace in two minutes this sum-
NOR. He is willing to make matches
against Robert j. and Joe Patchen also for
suitable purses.

the head with it. In doing so the
weapon exploded twice, and one of the
bullets wounded him slightly in the hand.
Going down in the patrol wagon Douglass

When Faustus of Mainz in Germany
had printed off, in 1850, a number OF
copies of the Bible, he undertook to
sell them In Paris, where printing was
then unknown. AS he sold his copies
for 60 crowns, while the scribes de-
manded 800 crowns for their manu-
scripts, he created universal astonish-
ment; but when he produced copies
as fast as they were wanted and low
cred the price to thirty crowns, all
Paris was in agitation.
The uniformity of the copies great
ly increased the wonder. Information
was given to the police against him as
magician, his lodgings being sub
sequently searched; and, a greater
number of copies being found, they
were seized.
The red ink with which they were
embellished was supposed to be his
blood, and it was seriously adjudged
that he was in league with the devil;
and it is presumed that, if he had not
fed, he would have shared the fate of
those whom superstitious judges in
those days condemned for withcraft.
When a girl who is engaged to be
married tells Of her engagement, it is
a very good sign that she was never
engaged before.
Every woman believes that if her
husband could be married to some
other woman for a week, he would
know how to appreciate her.
Marriage seems never so much
failure to man as when something
goes wrong at home that he cannot
possibly blame on his wife.
1t makes no difference how worth
less man is, his mother thinks it no
sacrilege to delude the best girl in the
world into marrying him.
We heard two young men discussing
boarding houses. SAT the place where
I board" one of them said, "the
home influence is better than the
meals.'
Young people usually talk so much
to each other when they are engaged
that by the time they are married
they have nothing left to say, and be-
gin to invite others in.

Facts Are Stubborn, and They
Tell a Wonderful, Truthful
Story. A Plain Statement
of a Plain Case.

The proprIetors of Hoods Sarsaparilla have
never made a claim concerning this great
medicine which was not backed up by abso-
Lutte and indisputable proof They claim that
the laboratory in which Hoods Sarsaparllla
is prepared is the largest building in the
world devoted to the proprietary medicine
business. Is this statement true? Look at
the facts. In Lowell, Mass, situated within
few feet of the tracks of the great Boston
and Maine railroad system, in plain view of
thousands of travellers, stands brick build
ing five stories high, sixty feet wide, and four
hundred feet long. and this entire building is
devoted to the business of Hoods Sarsapa-
ri1la. Has any one ever expressed doubt as
to the reality of this great laboratory, or has
any one who has been in Lowell ever contra
dicted a single statement that has ever been
made concerning it? Has any traveller ever
seen, anywhere upon the face of the earth,
the equal of Hoods Sarsaparilla Laboratory?
No, it cannot be found. Then what does this
fact mean? Simply that the business which
has built up the demand for Hoods Sarsapa-
ri11a is of immense proportions.
The proprietors of Hoods Sarsapari1la
claim that it has the largest sales in the world.
The truth of this statement may be verified
by any person who will make a fair inquiry
of wholesale druggists all over the country.
Again, the proprietors of Hoods Sarsapa-
ril1a claim that Hoods Sarsapari1la cures.
Upon the truth of this claim depends the
reason for the existence of the mammoth lab
oratory and the reason for the immense and
ever increasing sales. Once more let us ex-
anime the facts. Any thoughtful person who
has given attention to published testimoni-
ais must be convinced of the superiority of
those published in behalf of Hoods Sarsapa-
riIla. They are from living people, who tell
in their own words as nearly as possible what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for them. Based
upon solid truth, freely given in earnest graf
itude, published without the embellishments
OF professional writer's. these testimonials
prove beyond question that when all other
prescriptions and medicines fail, Hoods
Sarsaparll1a cures. Another point. The
cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla are not in dis
tant states Or countries, among people of
whom we never hear except in the newspa-
pers, but they are right here in our midst and
often among our own friends.

HEALTH.

''If we could be perfectly healthy"
you say, chow happy we should
be?" Yes, dear, of course we should
but we cannot all be perfectly healthy
SO we will have to try to be happy
under trials.
I think, however, that we could,
many of US, enjoy much better health,
by paying little attention to what
we are inclined to term critics."
Though to my mind, il is question if
anything, however small, that is con-
ducive to health and strength, is
trife.
Yes, this is the time of year when
we feel languid and tired, but that is
not to be wondered at. Think how
all through the winter up to Lent, we
have been going the rounds of balls,
parties, receptions, boxparties, etc.,
and of the great strain it has been up
on our systems. Of course we feel
run down, exhausted. We need rest.
How shall we take it.
Well, how would it do, for few
weeks, at least, to retire, say fully
two hours earlier than we have been
doing through the winter and spring
and in the morning lie abed an hour
later?
Upon arising, a cold sponge bath
followed by good rub with Turkish
towel acts like tonic to the majority
of people, besides putting the skin in
to healthy glow. 1t refreshes and
invigorates one. Il am aware that in
this age it seems ridiculous to men
ton the morning bath and rub, be-
cause it is generally supposed that
ladies, especially ladies of leisure, in
dulge in that luxury; but, know it to
be fact that there are ladies who
have nothing to do throughout the
Hve-long day but to fold their hands,
who not only do not think of the
morning bath, but who do not think
they require weekly bath.)

He was inclined to be humorous.
but sometimes unwise. He had for
gotten to go home to supper, and he
knew what was in store for him when
he should finally get there, so just to
be pleasant and entertaining he got
some miniature flags at a toy store
and put them in his pocket.
"John Henry" exclaimed his wife,
Il should think you would be asham
ed of yourself to treat your wife with
SO little confederation
He slowly unrolled his little pack
age of flags, took out square red one
with black square in the center and
fastened it to the mantel.
"What's that?'' she demanded
sharply.
"Storm signal" he replied pleasant
".
She drew herself up haughtily. Once
or twice she seemed on the point of
speaking, but controlled herself, and
finally turned coldly away. He mere
ly took down the red flag and replac
ed it with white one with black
centre.
"Cold wave," he said.
There was a moments silence, and
he saw that her feelings were hurt.
You're cruel" she said at last.
"You stay away from dinner, and
then you come home just to make fun
of me. I-I-''
He put up blue flag.
Grain or snow" he said.
'Why do you want to be SO mean?"
she asked tearfully. ssWhy don't you
be the dear, kind man you used to be?
I won't be cross again.
He put up a white flag.
'EFair weather." he said, land also
flag of truce. I capitulate to tears"
And the white foated during the
entire evening.
