You need a blood purifier. We
make this assertion with confidence,
because it is a fact that there is scarce
IL one person in ten thousand whose
blood IS free from humOrs, scrOtula
acids, or some faint, either heredity or
acquired Pimples. boils, eruptlons
are not the indications. Debility, lack
Of energy, depression Of spirits, loss ef
appetite, rheumatic pains, poor sleep,
headache, dizziness, specks floating be-
fore the eyes, and many other symptoms
plainly Indicate the need of a thorough
cleansing of the blood. The longer
YOU delay, the more difficult will be the
cure. The medicine to take is Aver :
Sarsgaparilla, and the time to begin Is
now Continue to take 1t through
March, Ap:ll, aud May, or until you
feel that health and strength are fully
restored, which will be when all those
painful and troublesome symptoms are
entirely removed. The young, the old
the mlddle-aged alike need the potent
but benign influence OF Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla, the best of blood medicines.

Marvellous Mes sages of Shakings In Japan
Conveyed by . Little Instrument.
It has become possible to discover an
earthquake and to mark its force at
distance of over seven thousand miles,
says the New York World. This seems
to smack of magic, but it is neverthe-
less q semitic fact. Some time ago 1t
was stated as simple truth that the
earthquake in Algeria was made known
to the scientists in Paris itself while 1t
was actually taking place by the un-
dulations of certain delicate instru-
ments over a strip of paper. That the
movements Of the earth could thus
transmit themselves almost instantane-
ously, registering, as it were, across
the Mediterranean and nearly the
whole of France more quickly than
telegraph message could have been
sent, was thought hardly plausible.
But it can well be believed now in
view Of q recent more marvellous DEM
onstration of the self-registering OF An
earthquake much farther away.
Within an hour from the time 1t COM
menced the late earthquake in Japan
had revealed itself to the instruments
of the Roman college. The oscilla-
tons Of the earth outlined themselves
ON . single sheet Of paper clearly and
distinctly, showing plainly that there
were fve separate disturbances" OF
varying force. Recent scientific re-
ports that have just come from the
japanese empire confirm the accuracy
Of the instruments of the Roman col
lege In = most remarkable manner.
The practical part of the discovery is
that the approach of an earthquake
may be told with little chance of error,
though It must be confessed that the
instruments give NO hint OF direction
NOR do they indicate the starting point
Instruments Of this character were
at Nicolsieff and Charl<ow, cities in the
central part of Russia, and here the
japanese earthquake mentioned was
registered even more plainly, the dis
tance in this case from its seat being
fully four thousand five hundred miles.
The Instruments in these towns were
carefully watched at this time and they
were seen to oscillate and mark the
tsemblinRs of the earth for over an
hour.
One Of the most remarkable OF mod
eru inventions, indeed, is this seismo-
er.ph, which was invented by Bartelli.
| the ..father of earthquakes" The most
| v.lvable evidence Of its practical bene-
A. to mankind was in 1883, when the
sensitive machine gave warning OF an

the stage, hanging from four bars, is :.
board which may be examined by the
audience. man is securely fastened
to this board with padlocks around the
arms, legs and neck, making it impos-
sible for him to move. A curtain is
then placed around the man, but which
only reaches to the board, thus leaving
it open below, so that the audience may
see beneath the board during the whole
OF the performance. At the report of
pistol the curtains are opened, and in
the place of the man is u woman fastened
to the board by the same padlocks, tho
man appearing at the same instant in

is made in less than thirty seconds, the

Their Effect Upon the Form Is Very
Bad.
81 number of women have hopeless
ly deformed their shoulders by tho
wearing of shoulder straps" said Il
physical culture enthusiast the other
day to class of ladies'. ''Thc weight OF
the skirts on the straps has worn little
burrows in the heavy muscles of the
shoulders. Just notice the shape OF
women who wear narrow straps. OF
course, it is not observable when they
are dressed in ordinary costume, but
in evening dress can picl: out every
one In the room who is in the habit of
wearing straps.
The proper thing is fitted waist
with heavy material set in around the
armhoIes and down the sides as stays
or Strengthening pieces. To these are
attached the buttons or hooks that sus-
tain the weight of the skirt.
1T. Is absolute suicide to hitch these
things upon the ordinary corset. That
throws the whole of the weight upon
the body below the waist and is the
cause OF more distress than one can
wei Imagine. There are a great many
pcoplc who could not be induced to
put shoulder straps on growing chill
dren; indeed, the waist is in every re-
sect more desirable. 1t need not be
high In the neck. but should cover the
curve Of the shoulders SO that the
weight OF the garments may rest even
ly over them.
The physical culturist has wide
field. and the time is coming when the
possibility of developing the figure oi
n child will be studied as carefully a
