Thousands Celebrate

With thankfulness their restoration to
health by the use of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla.
Think of the vast army who have
been cured by this medicine
Men, women andchildren, who have
suffered the consequences Of impnre
blood, who have been the victims Of
scrofula sores, eruptions, dyspepsia,
nervousness, sleeplessness.
They have tried other medicines and
have failed to obtain relief. They
tried Hoods Sarsaparilla and it did
them good. They persevered in its
use and it accomplished permanent
cures. Do you wonder that they
praise it and recommend it to you.

Did you ever watch Il dog gap? For
thorougiIness and entire absence of af-
fectation and mock shamcfacedness
there is nothing like it, says pcarson's
Weekly. When n deg gapes he doesn't
screw his face into all sorts Of unnatural
shapes in an cndeavor to keep his mouth
shut with his jaws wide open.
Neither does he put his paw up to his
fnce in IN apologize way, while gaping
in ambush, as it were. No; when he
gapes he is perfectly willing that the
whole world shall come to the show. he
braces himself firmly on his fore feet,
stretches out his neck, depresses his
head ard his jaws open with graceful
moderation.
At first it is but an exaggerated grin,
but when the cape is apparently &C.
complished the dog turns out his cl-
bows, opens his jaws another rs degrees,
swallows an imaginary bone by sud-
den and convluaive movement, curls up
his tongue like the petal of a tiger lily
and shuts his jaws together with snap.
Then he assumes n grave and con-
tented visage, as is eminently becoming
to one who has performed duty sue
.cessfully and conscientiously.

ton Over tribes.

ton Over tribes.
We have o good navy, and we do
not appreciate it. AS a matter of fact,
rays the Boston Journal, casualties to
our new armorclads and cruisers have
not been particularly frequent when
their size and their number are consid-
cred. In this country every trivial
mischance is caught up and exploited
by the sensational newspaper, but moth
ing is said of similar accidents in for
eign navies. Barring the destruction of
Admiral Kimberly's fleet b., the Samoan
hurricane in 1889, which no skill or fore
sight could have prevented, our naval
service for many years has been remark
ably free from really serious disasters.
There is nothing in our records to COM
pare with the capsizing of the British
frigate Captain with half a thousand
men in 1870, or the fatal collision of
the British ironclads Vanguard and
Iron Duke in 1875, or that of the Ger
man ironclads Kaiser Wilhelm and
Grosser Kurfurst the year following,
when 800 men persisted, or the loss Of
the British training ships Eurydice
and Atlanta in 1878 and 1880 with 600
officers, sailors and apprentice boys, or
the sinking of the British flagship Vic
toria, with Admiral Tryon, % officers
and $50 sailors, by collision with the
Campertlown on June %, 1893, in the
Mediterranean, or the wreck of the
Spanish cruiaHr Reina Regente, on
March 10, 1895, with 420 officers and sea-
men.
The list of minor accidents to foreign
naval vessels in the past few years
would be too long TO enumerate. But
the stranding of the British armorclads
Howe and Arson, the flagship Amphion
and the cruiser Sultan were far more
grave affairs than any such accidents
which have occurred to any of our own
heavy vessels within this period. We
have had our fair share of trouble, per"
haps, but no more than that
