ready in successful operation in several
cities. In Detroit such a bank made it
a profitable branch Of its business. 1t
issued stamps that were sold at drug
stores, distributed q lot of literature
to interest the people in the SUBJECT,
and not only increased its business
iegitimately. but stimulated thrift
among the children. In some
cities penny banks are run in

ment in a friendly spirit, and ask ex-
actly what conditions of autonomy
the Spanish government will grant to
Cuba, before the former government
recognizes the insurgents on the
island as belligercnts, the Spanish
will meet such overtures half way.
Senior Sagasta, the Liberal leader
and former prime minister, said that
the Spanish government was certainly
not trying to force on u war with the
United States. ut has taken,n he
said, "the utmost p%recaution to pro.

The press here evinces ill humor be-

clares that in the event of. a conflict
between Spain and America over Cuba
Spanish diplomacy would make the
matter an European question, and it

OF the Rev. Mr.. Lee and DR.. Collyer
that many preachers these days are
using syndicatcd sermons with which
to cure the souls of their spiritual
charges. There is a sermon syndicate
IN Philadelphia ard one in Chicago.

DONALD KENNEDY, OF R0xBuRY, MASS,
Has discovered in one of our ommon
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Hunnor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(botll thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause Squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
