Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap-
propriately called the curse of mankind.
It is the one disease that physicians can
not cure; their mercurial aud potash
remedies only bottle up the poison in
the system, to surely break forth in a
more virulent form, resulting in a total
wreck of the system.

interview between a newspaper CORE

the new Spanish cabinet. The latter is
quoted as saying that Senior Sagasta
will carry out the Cuban reforms pro-
posed by Marshal Martinez de Campos
ten years ago. These include the
granting Of autonomy to cuba on con-
dition that she shall take over the Gu
ban debt, including the war debt, and
accept SPANS customs tariff. Contin-
uing, the new cabinet minister is a
to have declared that Premier Sagasta
would not consent to a customs union
between the United States and Cuba
and that il the former were not satisfi-
ed Spain was prepared to fight, as the

strength to the navy of the United
States. Further, if necessary, Spain,
according to the cabinet minister, would
have recourse to privateering.
In conclusion the new minister is al
legged to have said it was improbable
that Spain would consent to recognize
the insurgent debt. but Premier Sagas-
ia would not prevent the new Cuban
government dealing with it.

DUCK SHOOTING MADE EASY.
How millionaire Bags the Game With
cut Firing Ii I,nn.


There is man in this city who has
the wealth of a millionaire and the in
stincts of a sporting man. Being able
TO crafty the instincts, he had bought
patch Of river land in the neighborhood
of a duck colony, and there established
an exclusive shooting ground.
Now, every body does not know this.
People generally believe that Mr.. Mil
ionaire is mighty Il hunter as Mr..
Nimrod of Biblical fame.
But here is the secret of this fortu-
nate sport, related by an eye-wit-
ness. An old French hunter is en-
ployed on the island, and what Pere
Pirault doesn't know about duck shoot
ing isn't worth knowing. He has AN
unerring eye and a dilapidatel old gun
that will bring down more birds at a
shot than the best shotgun in the hands
Of a sportsman, for that gun Of Pere's
never missed a bird in its career. The
usual form Of dialogue between Mr.. Mil
I:onaire and his hunter is here repro
duced:
'Dere eez one duck. Meester NJ
Il don't see it, Pere."
Mon? You no zee dat duck? Dat
is so. Hit make not vary plain. My
sef, | show hit, Meester NJ" and Pcre
gets behind the elegant new shotgun
and the amateur sportsman.
Bang, bang. Only one gun goes off.
but that is Pere's, and more than one
duck falls inert.
You shoot dem duck, Meester NJ"
says Pere, innocently. Hit was
great shoot-pour vous."
The sarcasm 0f 4 foreign tongue is lost
on Mr.. Millionaire. Pere loads up and
gives his old gun her head again. and
more birds are slaughtered. And it is
confidently believed that Mr.. Ms pew
shotgun has never been fired within the
memory of man.-Chicago Times-Her-
