Speaking of the trial of Gov.
Atkinson's wife, the Weston Demo
crat has this to say
Judge Blizzard seems to have
made a favorable impression upon
the public by his prompt rulings
and impartial decisions on the
Bench. His recent experience at
Chenille has gwen him a national
reputation, and his pictures are
now adjoining the front pages OF
the metropolitan newspapers of the
country.
For personal reasons the Wheel-
ing Register has been publishing No
report of the Atkinson trial AT
Chenille. This IS on account OF
the editors wife being one of che
heirs of the estate Of the late Judge
Camden.

It's the same story. The experiences
OF all sufferers with blood diseases il
Identical. First the doctors are con-
suited, and their prescription of potash
and mercury is taken Faithfully, but
without result. Months pass, and the
Iuercuriai dose is continued, until
finally, his condition being no better,
or often worse, the patient becomes
discouraged and decides TO change
treatment.
Patent medicines are then taken,
but until the right one is found the
results are the same. =. $. =. is the
only blood remedy on the market
which is guaranteed purely vegetable.
II IS the only one that contains no
mercury, no potash, or other mineral.

didn't know whether there would be
any water there or not, but we did find
a spring with a stream as large as

RACE OF LITTLE NlCCERs,"
savage Dwarfs Who Live Near the nas
OF Bengal.

OF Bengal
In an a.chiGe,a 20 in the Day of Ben
gal there exists a race of savage
dwsffs. Sailors call thea little mig
gers because the average height OF
thcrl is foar fec. tca inches. the wo-
men reaching stature OF four fee;
seven inches. The eldest thing about
these little people. says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, is that they look like
babies all their lives. 1t is only lately
that these dwarfs OF the Andaman
islands have known how to build fires.
There Is volcano ON one OF these
islands, and from this they have pro-
cured fresh supplies Of fire when neces-
sary. but they know how to keep slow.
slumbering embers sufficiently alive
not to compel them often to visit the
volcano. The thing which has excited
their curiosity most of anything intro
duced by the whites is the friction
match. Formerly the dwaffs Of the
Andamans were accustomed to MUIR
der all strangers who reached their
shores. Even now sailors wrecked In
the Bay of Bengal would probably be
massacred. 1t is believed the inveter-
ate hostility of the little niggers"
arose originally from the cruel prac-
tees Of the Malays, Burmese and Chi
nese, who visited the Andamans to get
edible birds nests and sea cucumbers,
and who used to capture the little ma
tives and sell them for slaves. There
are several shades of color among them,
ranging from bronze to shiny black.
Their hair is extremely frizzled, grow
ing in spiral tufts, 1t is fine, and sell
dom becomes more than two or three
inches long. Most of the women shave
their heads once a week, leaving only
| two narrow strips of hair from the
crown to the nape Of the neck. Many
OF the men do the same, although the
style is different. They leave patch
like skull cap on the crown of their
hea DIS. The most remarkable custom OF
these little people is the wearing OF
necklaces of human bones. When a
child dies 1t is buried, only to be dug ur
again. The father carries the body tc
the nearest creek and removes the flesh
from the bones with the greatest care
carrying them and the skull back tc
his hut. The mother, after painting
the latter with yellow pigment. hangs
1t around her neck. Infants skulls, be-
ing fragile, are protected by covering
