A FATAL WAVE OF THE GRIP.
Health Boards Announces That The Epidemic
Has Returned in Very Deadly Form.

1t is a misfortune little short of n pub
lie calamity that, just now when SO large
a percentage of the people arc suffering
with bronchial coughs and colds, the
health boards should announce the re-
appearance of the king of epidemic ter
rorS-the grip.
On Wednesday of last week the grave
intelligence was wired from New York
that DIR. Benedict, chief of the bureau of
contagious diseases of that city, as well
as of other leading physicians of the
board of health, admits that an epidemic
of grip Is raging in that city, and that it
has appeared in very deadly form, ana
disastrous results are expected to follow
before spring.
On Thursday intelligence was received
from Providence that the plague had APP
peared in that city in deadly form, and
already many cases are known to exist in
Boston.
The deadliness, the appalling fatality of
the grip lies not in its own immediate re
suits. but in the long list of fatal ills
which follow in its wake as direct result
of the virulent and weakening poisons
which it leaves in the system.
Reader, look over the list of your ac-
quaintances for the past five years and see
how many cases of pneumonia you can
trace directly to the grip: How many
cases of consumption often galloping to
death in a few weeks? How many cases
of bronchitis How many cases Of deaf
ness or blindness How many fatal
heart liver, stomach or kidney troubles?
Fortify the system against the attacks
of the enemy
Blood Wine is your only safeguard.
Thousands of people can save themselves
from this terrible disease if they will keep
their blood pure and tone up their system
with this great remedy.
Always keep bottle with you and take
dose three or four times "a day.
BE warned in time. Get "a bottle ut

IS MAN Il tOPSIDED ANIMAL?
The Subject Discussed Fron Variety OF
Interesting Standpoints.


Man at best is an lngainly animal. His
head is an irregular spheroid; his eyes are
not alike or of equal efficiency; ono Shout
der is higher than its neighbor; one hand
and one foot are larger than their CORE
spending organ. Despite the fact that
the shape, size and color of the car differ
more widely in individuals than any other
organ of the human body, they are proba-
bly more alike on the same head than any
other of the win organs. If enc ear is
delicate in shade, the other will be the
same; if one looks IKE dried fig or
conchshell, the other is likewise so. With
the eyes, however, matters arc different
One eye is nearly always more open thar
its friend over the bridge, while in many
cases people. while apparently looking
with both eyes, only use one, and makers
of firearms, in making guns to order, care
fully allow for the right or left sighted
ness of the sportsman for whom they ca
ter Broadly speaking, women are more
often left sighted than mon, and when
they do happen to be right sighted they
are so in less degree than the sterner sex.
The reason why the left shoulder is fire.
uuently farther from Mother Earth than
the right lies in the fact that while writ
ing most men rest the left elbow ON the
table, while in the case of porters loads
are carried on the right shoulder. With
an ablebodied man there is very little
difference in the length Of the limbs, but
.hr hands and feet arc usually widely diff
ferent in the matter of size The right
hand is the bigger, willie, curiously
enough, the left foot covers the greater
amount of ground
Ladies have certain unrasoning sense
of satisfaction when they say that they
wear fives in gloves, because if this is q
fact, then the human hand has grown
smaller within the last 20 or 30 years,
which state of affairs, however, may DO
questioned when the glovemakers tell
their story. Gloves are all marked half a
size smaller than they really ought to be-
which is the fatal result Of the habit in
Which ladies indulge of almost invariably
asking for gloves size smaller than they
can comfortably wear.
The left leg is better developed than tho
other male carrier on account of tho fact
that we stand habitually OH the left foot
ard mount bicycle or horse and kick a
man while balancing on the left leg Most
men jump chiefly, off the LETT leg.
Lateral curvature of the spine occurs
moro frequently to the left than to tho
right, indicating that the body in sitting
Is thrown moro to the left than to right.
This leads to the remark that nothing ia
moro injurious, for the young especially,
than to sit for any length OF time in ono
position.-Albany Times Urion.

SMALLER DENOMINATIONS
Wanted by Secretary Carlisle in Place Of
Government Notes Destroyed.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Much interest
was impaired to the session of the House
committee on appropriations, today, by
the presence of Sec Carlisle. Since 1886
the sundry civil appropriation bill has
contained a section providing for the is
suing of notes in place of those cancelled.
This provision requires the secretary CT
the treasury to issue, in place of the notes
destroyed, others Of exactly the same
denominations.
Secretary Carlisle, today, appeared be-
fore the House appropriations committee
and protested against this requirement,
which he characterized as a hindrance to
the treasury. He advocated changing the
regulation to allow the secretary of the
treasury to issue in place of the notes
destroyed notes of whatever denomina-
tions he considered best.
He said that since the passage of the
act of 1886, which authorized the issue of
silver certificates of less denomination
than $40, this provision seemed to him
directly contrary to what should be the
policy of the government. Its effect was
to prevent the issue and circulation of
silver certificates of small denominations.
If we could convert the small United
States and other notes received at the
treasury into large United States notes,
it would make room for small silver certi-
flcates and we could therefore issue a
large amount and a certain amount of
small notes will remain outstanding
among the people, but if they consist of
treasury and other notes they occupy the
whole field and keep silver certificates
out; whereas, if we have $1,000, 900 in
United States notes Of small denomina-
tions, by converting them into large notes,
we can put $1,000, 900 in small silver
certificates in their place.
At present we are receiving about 30
per cent. of the revenues of New York city
in silver certificates, although this cur
rency constitutes less than one fifth of the
entire currency outstanding, and at times
as high as SO per cent of the revenues are
received in silver certificates.
The change proposed by Sec. Carlisle
will give him authority to issue small
denomination notes which will give a
greater amount of currency to the people.

A MEDDYBEMpS SENSATION.
A Remarkable Recital of a Re-
markabIe Fact.
Full and Interesting Particulars
of a Case that Attracted
Wide Attention.
Mrs. AdeIine Munson. Who Resides in Meddy
bemps, Maine, Declares:

For many years past have been afIlict
ed with general debility, sleeplessness, and
numbness in my hands and feet, caused
by poor circulation and impure blood.
Was at times affected with headache, dfz-
illness and severe vomiting as my food
would not digest properly In later years
my nervous system seemed to give out en-
rely, and general pnralytic-like numb
ness came over me. have tried numerous
kinds of sarsaparillas without obtaining
any benefit from them. They not only
proved valueless, but 1 believe actually
harmed me; my stomach could not retain
them, and l grew steadily worse.
About a year ago, 1 heard Of the Red
Seal Sarsaparilla, that was said to be pre-
pared by an entirely new and thoroughly
scientific method, whereby certain poi
sonous principle, very harmful to the digcs-
tive organs, and which is brought out in
some process, was entirely eliminated.
1 found great relief in the first few doses
of the Red Seal Sarsaparilla, and after
taking three bottles / found myself en-
tirely cured, and although 81 years of age,
feel stronger and younger today than
have for many years past.
/ believe the Red Seal Sarsaparlla to be
the best medicine Of it's kind, and strong
Iy recommend it to all who wish for n
speedy cure. l Viii chccrfulfy give fun
details of my case to all who wish for
further particulars. q

SLAVE GIRLS IN KOREA.
7teir Sale q Considerable Source of Rev.
enue to the Royal Treasury.


There are slave girls innumerablc around
tho royal palaces of tho Hermit Kingdom
of Korea. It is difficult to find out how
many there arc. One official will say hun
dreds, another thousands. A consul who
has had opportunity to learn the facts in
the case says there are about 1, 500.
1t is equally difficult to learn where they
como from. Their appearance shows that
they are not from any one stock. Some
are Koreans, and some are Tonghaks
from Guing- Shang do, in the south of The
Kingdom; some show Japanese blood, 9TH
Crs Chinese and still others Mantchurian.
They are of all sorts and types All speak
Korean, and nearly all have a smattering
of Chinese. They are all we'll brought up
and quiet, polite and industrious They
begin their career as domestic servants
when mere children and are seldom found
in the royal establishment after they are
rs years old. A few who arc unusually
good looking become royal concubincs,
and a large number are taken for the same
purpose by the princes and lords of tho
realm, and it is said for very large price.
Tho rest are sold as commodities to the
highest bidder and the proceeds paid into
tho royal treasury.
The latest available blue book of Korea
-1sSi-in summarizing the royal income,
includes these entries: 80, OH stone of best
rice; IL, 4S4 stone of beans; lie, 713 nyang
in money; "a, 200 nyang from sale of slave
giris."
nyang is string of 100 copper coins
whose .aluo in American money ranges
from 500 to 2 900 to the dollar. The mar
kct value of a girl in Korea varies from
SO to $40. Upon these figures the mon
arch must raise and sell in the public
market every year from 80 to $50 young
women.
This trade in human beings is consider
cd perfectly legitimate and has come down
from time immcmorial. 1t is not confined
to the royal palace, but is practiced To
certain extent all over Korea. Tho custom
is followed likewise in China and seems
to characterize nearly every Monaghan
racc.-PhilAdelphia Press.
