lief that if a man inherits weak lungs from
his parents he is pretty sure to die of con-
sumption. The actual fact is that if such
man will only take proper care of himself
he will really be safer from consumption
than a careless person who has no inherited
weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye.
Carelessness will develop a tendency to
consumption in any body.
The lungs are composed of very delicate,
sensitive tissue, even in the healthiest per
son; that is why they yield so quickly to the
attack of tainted blood. If the blood is al
lowed to get impure and impoverished and
bile-poisoned, the seeds of consumption
will spring up in the best kind of eonsti-
tuition. The real consumption-taint is in
the blood.
Hundreds of cases of so-called "heredi-
tary" consumption have been completely
and permanently rooted out of the system
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
simply because it gives the blood making
glands power to pour fresh abundant sup
ply of rich, red, healthy blood into the
circulation. This drives out all poisonous
and unhealthy germs. 1t stops the waste of
tissue and the formation of morbid deposits;
builds up fresh, normal, healthy lung tissue
and solid, muscular strength.
In all the weakened debilitated conditions
which are the forerunners of consumption,
DR.. Pierce's Discovery is the most per-
feet nutritive and strength builder. 1t IS
assimilated by the weakest stornachs.

Spring Requires

That the Impurities which have accumu.
lated in your blood during the winter
shall be promptly and thoroughly expelled
If good health is expected. When the
warmer weather comes these impurities
are liable to manifest themselves in var-
Gus ways, and often lead to serious i'll
ness. Unless the blood is rich and pure
that tired feeling will afllct you, your APP
petite Will fail and you Will find yourself

tones and strengthens the system, drives
out all impurities and makes pure. rich
healthy blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the one true blood purifier and the best
spring medicine. Be sure to get only

the effects upon our industries:
The importations of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at $50,

$1o.303,359. The former were mostlj
converted into sole leather, betting

our native hides are not thick enough
The goatskins are not produced in TIL

From this raw material we not onl

Admits Prices win Re Higher,

With regard TO Chairman Dingley's
admission that the duty on wool wilt
increase the price of wool, the Kansas
City Times says: The consumer and
not the foreigner, therefore, pays the
tariff tax. 1t comedies also that the
home producer puts up his price arbi-
trarily. Mr. Dipgley's own words are
confession that the Dingley bill is a
fraud and a robhery Of the people for
she benefit of the few individuals and
corporations. 4

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is the medicine suited
for any season. but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid. exhausted feel
ing prevails. when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and alter
alive is felt. A prompt use of this medi.
cine has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and freeing
the system from the maaral poison.
Headache, Indigestion. constipation, dini-
ness yield to Electric Ditters. Zoe. and

To guess these representations was the
task, and for AN hour or more nothing

While the guessing was in progress.
Mrs. George b. Pettus RECALLED the
party with some beautiful selections

After this contest closed another
surprise awaited the delighted guests

The first course was sure enough

Teresa Carreno, tho world-renowncd

made her debut in this country January
2 1863, as an infant phenomenon. 1t was
said Of her after her first concert, when
she mad "a funny deal OF difficulty IN
getting upon the seat before the piano "
that her playing would have charmed
even If she had not been a child. Her
face beamed with intelligence, and Mr..
j. 5. Dwight, a leading critic in Boston.
wrote Of her that her face beamed with
intelligence and genius, which spoke. too.
ia her touch i'm a certain untaught life
that there was IN her playing. Her first
temperance here after her European
tour was i'm a concert company in 1872

She sang the part of Zerlina in 1876,
and appeared at a Boston symphony con-

the most euloeistic terms
