The success of Hoods Sarsaparilla in conquer
lug scrofula in whstever way it may manifest
itself is vouched for by thousands who were
severely afflicted by this prevalent disease, but
who now rejoice over a permanent cure by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Scrofula may appear as a
humor. or it may attack the glands of the neck.
or break out In dreadful running sores on the
body or limbs. Attacking the mucous mem
brane. it may develop into catarrh, or lodging
In the lungs lead to consumption, Come as il
may a faithful course of treatment with Hoods
Sarsaparilla win overcome it, for working up
on the foundation of all diseases, impure blood,
the system is clarified and vitalized, and vigor,
strength and health restored to the body.

DANGER AnEAD.

The old world Is military camp.
The clank of resounding arms has
silenced the protests Of the people
against intolerable wrongs. The
crowned puppets Of Europe, called
monarchs, live by the breath Of the
Rothchilds and are invariably pro-
tected from violence by the mercen-
ary legions which devour the sub
stance of the people. Rothchilds'
financial system has been enforced
upon this country by cunning and
fraud. 1t is maintained by the cor
ruption Of the commercial press, the
venality of time serving politicians,
the threat of the creditor and the
patronage of great government,
but these instrumentalities are ex-
pensive and require constant atten-
ton. Military despotism, according
to the custom OF the old world, is
more direct and effective, and Roth
childs is preparing this country for
another change. Whence comes the
voice of military for more soldiers,
of the capitalists for stronger gov
eminent of the toady for an aristoc-
racy, and of the money lender for
more stability, all of which points
to the assimilation of the institu-
tions of America to the despotism of
the world. If the free and indepen-
dent voters Of the United States do
not resist with power and purpose
the greedy designs of the money
powers, and do it now, it will be too
late.
If within a generation more than
half the property of seventy mil
lions of people has been transferred
by strategy and fraud to a thousand
money lenders, what hope is there
in continuing policy which is de-
signed to concentrate the wealth of
the world into one great creditor
system with the bankers of London
and the Rothchilds of London at
the head, unless immediate resist
ance is made. The magnitude of
that colossal power is already inn
mense. 1t has no parallelin history.
The final consummation of its
schemes is millionaires and slaves.
Its purposes are not disguised. The
gold journals of London proclaimed
that property must rule and demo
cracy must be destroyed. Americans
will you wait until America is con-
trolled as Germany and Italy are
by the military forces of concentrate
ed capital? Will you wait until it
is treason to distrust public affairs2
Will you wait until the voice of the
American people is hushed in the
silence of the dark ages? Let your
answer be given in 1S96.-Siluer

The Way of Long Twilight.

On first thought it seems to be a
rather paradoxical statement that the
nearer we approach to the equator the
shorter is that intermediate stage or
transition from day to night and from
night to day, which we call twilight "
This being the case, however, the period
Of duration of "the dim, uncertain
light in all tropical countries is very
short when compared with that of coun-
tries of high northern or southern lati-
tude. The explanation is this: On the
equator the suns path is at exact right
angles with the horizon. The last beam
of light fades from view when the sun
is at IS degrees below the horizon.
This IS degree mark is quickly reached
at the equator for reasons given in the
first sentence of this explanation. The
farther from the equator we get the less
become the angles which the suns
course makes with the horizon, and the
longer the time required for him to
reach the IS degree mark; hence the
longer the period of twilight. st. Louis

WITH HIS WHIP.
He Flicked the Gun From the Stage Rob
ber's Hand.

--N-NN-
'There is quite difference between
staging in the early days Of the state
and now" said William Miller, the
owner Of the stage line running from
Cazadero to Ukiah.
"When I came here from Boston in
1854, drifted about bit and finally
went into the service of Charles Nc
Laughlin, the man who was afterward
killed by Jerome Cox. He was the
owner of the longest stage line in Cali
fornia at that time. 1t ran with relays
from San Jose to Los Angeles.
81 remember once in lonely coast
range canyon, through which the road
wound, we had little experience that
was thrilling for the moment 1t was
about 10 o'clock and moonlight night.
/ was just putting the horses through.
The stage was full Of passengers, and
there was heavy treasure box.
"Just as got around bend in the
road 1 saw a figure of man on horse
back standing by the side of the road.
He yelled to stop, and saw gun bar
rel CLEAN in the moonlight. The horses
were going at speed that might be
called breakneck, and l just made up
my mind to take the chance Of getting
through. l saw the gun raised to the
fellows shou der as we approached. l
had my long whip in my hand, and
with desperation born of peril of the
moment made vicious swipe at him.
II don't know how it occurred, but
the lash wound itself around the gun,
and as we dashed by the whip was
drawn taut, and l knew it had caught,
so held fast. l was nearly pulled out of
my seat, but the gun was dragged from
the robbers hand and fell to the ground.
At the same time it was discharged by
the shock. 1t ratified along the road for
quite a distance before the whiplash I'M
wound itself. / don't know what the
highwayman thought, but I'll bet he
was surprised. San Francisco Call.

The Growth of Electric Railroads.

"The growth of the use of electricity
as o motive power is remarkable, J." said
E. l.. Carson, an electrician Of Boston.
1.-TWO years ago there were only l6l
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six! -ars
ago an electric car with two motors cost
"a, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract knew to be given ran from S640
to 81, 500. and the former was the price
at which it was given, the manufactur-
ers being reliable men. Itseems singular
that with such constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi-
ton as to run prices down to one seventh
Of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
In the country not run by electricity. -

Trouble In the Browning Society.

A reading of a line of Browning's
which I don't think has ever presented
itself to the Browning society was offer
ed in all honesty the other day by a
young gentleman reading aloud to a
young lady, at her request-need I say
she was Bostonienne?-the Zone
Word More with which Browning
dedicated his "Men and Women" to
his wife.
He who blows through bronze may breathe
through silver
the reader gave forth with cadenced
correctness, but
He who paints IN fresco takes hairbrush
was too much for an honest, literal soul.
He read it chair brush "-hyphenized,
accent on "hair' too evidently under
standing and unquestionably accepting
it not as a refined implement Of art, but
as the homely adjunct of the dressing
table. Nothing can ever make that line
again, for that young woman, fit into
q poets dream. Nor will he ever be
asked to read Browning to her more
Boston Transcript.
