SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

San Francisco Examiner: There is some
thing admirable about the relentless
wheels of British justice, however we
may sympathize with the unfortunate vic
Tins whose fingers have been caught in
the cogs on this occasion. Our only
cause for regret is that instead of crush
ing a hysterical woman charged with
hiding furs and plated toast-racks ii
could not have nipped some of the Hunt
ingtons Sages and Haywards who walk
law like elephants through cobwebs. In
England a rich man who annexes his
neighbours property goes TO jail like any
body else. That is one respect in which
our glorious republic might profit by the
example of an effete monarchy.

That Tired Feeling

Is certain indication Of impure and i'm
poverished blood. II your blood could
always be rich and pure, full of the
red cOrpuscles upon which its vitality
depends, you would never be weak, or
Nervous! Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt
rheum, would never trouble you. But
our mode Of living, shut in all winter

depletes the blood and there is loss of
appetite, and weakness. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the standard remedy for this
condition. It purifies, vitalizes and
enriches the blood, overcomes that
tired feeling, builds up the nerves and
gives perfect health. Read this:
