Nine reasons why Ayers Sarsaparil- la should be taken in preference to any other blood purifier: 1st. The drugs from which it is made are the most carefully selected. 2d They are combined in such scientific propor- tions that they may always be depend ed upon for successful results. 3d. It is concentrated extract, only small doses being required. 4th It is perfect ly safe, either for young or old. 5th. It acts upon the blood more speedily than any other blood purifier 9th. It cures disease by removing the conditions
 which make sickness possible, and therefore cures permanently. 7th. This
 remedy has a well-known scientific
 value and it's formula is familiar to scientific men. 9th. It has been before the public for half a century. Drug
 gists and physicians recommend il
 and employ it in their practice 9th It was the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the worlds fair. It stands first. Ii
 leads all other blood purifiers. Be sure your druggist sells you Ayers Sarsaparilla. It cures others, and vii
 cure you.

A SIXTH SENSE.

Experiments on the blind with those vibrations which we call the X rays, or the Roentgen rays, give results which cannot be exactly described as the restoration of sight. The subjects of the experiments are enabled to per ceive something, but it can hardly be said that they see it. The sensation produced seems as closely allied to feeling as it is to seeing. In fact, it is not a too fanciful theory to be preached, that we are on the threshold of the discovery of sixth sense. Everyone nowadays knows that there is a vast range of sounds which are inaudible to the human ear. Ma tura is full of music which we cannot hear because the vibrations causing it are too rapid for the mechanism of our ears to catch and transmit to the brain. So also in light there are rays of which the eye takes no note-the infra-red and the -violet-but which are powerful for heat and fo1 chemical action. The universe, in, deed, is full of colors which the eye ot man has never seen
 The X rays are not rays of light wis ible to the eye; we know them only by the effect which they produce, jus as we know the rays of heat which we cannot see. One of the five senses O. which we have knowledge-the sense of feeling us of the presence of the invisible heat rays; is it no possible, even probable, that there i! a sixth sense, yet undiscovered, whic1 takes cognizance of the mysteriou. Vibrations called X rays?
 And is there a connection betwee1 this subtle, penetrating force, whicl informs blind man of what he migh see if he had sight, and the influenc,
 of mind upon mind, of which tn many disputed instances of though transference and clairvoyance ar held to be examples?

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

The treaty of general arbitration be- tween the United States and Great Britain as outlined in the dispatches, is plainly only tentative, as shown by the fact that it is at first limited to a period of five years and is not perma- nent
 Its possibilities will be tried in ef- fecting a settlement of the vexed ques- tion of the Alaskan boundary. Other matters of dispute will doubtless also arise during the five years which will show how far arbitration is likely tc afford a final tribunal for all interna- tional strife that may arise. The court as at present defined is to be equally divided, three judges from each country being named. There is no evidence how troubles are to be settled in the event of the court divid- ing even, as it would be very likely tC do.
 Nor is it at all certain that tht courts decision could be enforced, i the popular sentiment in either coun try ran strongly against such decision The thing is an experiment.
 But all people who desire peace ant regard war as a barbarous evil vii wish the experiment well. If England and the United States can come to al agreement of this kind and show tha it is practicable, other nations of civ ilization should be able to effect simi
 lar arrangements.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

REPORTING OF CONGRESS.

EX-Minister Andrew D. White thinks the newspapers do not report enough of the proceedings of congress. Mir. White is a versatile and a highly ac- complished gentleman, but we believe experience in conducting a newspaper has not been among his achievements He might have modified his views had such been the case. The greater news papers of the country give good share of their space to the doings of con gress. A careful reading of them will enable one to know all of importance that has been done there. The num- Der who desire to read all that might be reported in addition is limited. The spicier debates are generally set down, and the most important speeches are often printed in full To attempt anything like an intelligent condensa- tion of what is said on the appropri- ation bills, for instance, on which much time is taken, would occupy large amount of room, and would not be in teresting to one reader in a hundred Papers that have intelligent cores pondents to sketch each day in brie1 and readable form what is said an6 done, supply all that there is really 6 call for, aside from the Associated Press matter The Congressiona Record falls into error on the other side, in reporting an enormous amount of matter that is not said 1T lcongress

WHY He BECAME AN ABsTAINER -
Dean Farrar, one of the best known
clergyman in the Church of England,
tells why he became a total abstaIner:
About ten years ago or % | became
a total aostainer because l was easily
convinced that the use Of alcohol was
not necessity, and a great deal turns
upon that. l saw, for instance, that
whole nations had not only lived with
ou5 it, bus had dOurished without it. l
saw the remarkable fact that there were
some % 600 persons in England, who,
though many of them had made them
selves mere tunnels for drink, thong Z
most Of them had been accustomed TO
drink from their childhood, though
most of them had been brought TO
prison, either directly or indirectly,
through drink, yet the very day that
they entered the gates of a prison all
drink was entirely taken from them,
and yet there was not a single instance
on record in which any Of them had
suffered l consequence. On the cen
trary, men who have entered prisons
sickly and biIghted have been made
sober by Act Of Parliament, and after
8 few months left prison hale and
strong and hearty; and women who
have been put into prison perfectly
horrible and hideous in their loath-
someness and degradation, after a short
period of deprivation from the source
Of their ruin, LETT prison with the bloom
Of health, and almost of beauty. All
these proofs and many others con
vinced ma very speedily that it was
not necessary for me to continue to
touch any form of alcohol. Twas the
great philanthropist and politically
wise B-nj4min Franklin who used the
words: Temperance puts wood on the
FIRE, neal in the barrel, fur in the
tue, money in the purse, cOntentment
IN the house, and clothes on the bairns.
Well, then, coming to these cOnciu-
