The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
SarsapariIIa
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know II Absolutely Cures
When other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely sim
pie preparation of Sarssparilla, Dock,
Stllingia and little Iodide Of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, It.
also contains those great anti bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains those great kidney reme-
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla a
matter Of surprise7 You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking a few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparila she was cured" MRS.

A Marine Argus.

The strangest cannoneer In the en-
tire animal kingdom is q naked mol
lusk called onchidium. 1t iuhabits the
seashores of China and Japan, OF the
Malayan archipelago, of North Aus
tralia and of East Africa. This animal
is shell-less, but its back is covered by
a coriaceous or leatherlike integument.
The cephalic or head eyes OF onchi-
dunn differ in no ways from those OF
allied groups, but its dorsal eyes land
it commonly has from twelve to sixty,
one species having even as large a
number as eighty, according to Lub-
book; another species, according to
Semper, has ninety-eight) are iden-
teal, as far as type is concerned, with
those of vertebrate animals. These
dorsal eyes have corneae, retinae and
lenses, anterior and posterior cham
beers, aud "blind-spots. The "blind-
spot" is peculiarly Characteristic of the
vertebrate eye; the optic nerve pierces
the external layer Of the retina; hence
at this point sight is absent. -Lippin.

!, The name isinglass Is supposed by
Edwards to be derived from corrupt
ed form of the German name OF the
sturgeon, hausenblas. 1t has probably
received its English name from some
improper association with the word
icing and the French glace, ice. The
substance itself is the dried membranes
of certain kinds of fish. Formerly only
the air bladder of the sturgeon was
used. but in the last few years it was
discovered that many other portions OF
the body of. the. fish yielded isinglass OF
as good quality as the air bladder, and
now, isinglass is procured from many
different quefters instead Of, as for
merly, solely from the Russian fisher
les of-the Baltic Sea- Isfngiass is near
ly pure gelatine, the ease with which
this substance IS separated from the
membranes of the fish constituting the
value Of the material in the arts and
sciences. The most remarkable varie-
ty Of islnglass comes from the mouths
OF the Amazon, resembling reddish
brown grapes growing from q thick,
apparently woody, stem, this variety
being the dried eggs Of the Sudis glgas,
\ fish abundant In the Amazon.

Has Given shelter to Is 900 Tramps.

Reuben Romig, farmer in Lower
Macungie Township, about mile and
a half from Emaus, is a big-hearted
man, who, could never turn man
away from his doors who seeks shell
ter. During the past eighteen years
his spacious barn has been the lodg-
ing place of between $4,000 and 49,
600 hoboes, and he has never yet had
the slightest trouble with any one who
has enjoyed his hospitality. His rules
and requirements are thatwhen tour
ist comes to ask for shelter he must
turn in all matches, pipes and smok-
ing tobacco at the kitchen door subject
to return in the morning. Many Of
the sojourners are furnished with
breakfast and in return for the favor
remain for an hour to do saving and
splitting wood. During the past six
months he sheltered about 400 in all,
including three or four women. One
of his recent callers actually inquired
for work, and after partaking of break
fast was directed to go to Emaus,
where he found employment at fair
wages. -Allentown PENN Call.

A land of Asparagus.

1t is not generally known, but it is
fact nevertheless, that asparagus
grows abundantly in its wild state in
portions of the Santa Apa valley. A
few years ago it was discovered that
celery grew freely in the peat lands
west of the river in wild state, and
in very short while an enterprisjng
fruit dealer and shipper from Kansas
City came. out to investigate the re-
ports he had heard about the wild
growing celery. This investigation
resulted in the formation of the d. e.
Smelzer Celery Company and the
planting of large tract of the peat
lands to celery The business has
proved quite proftable-so much SO
that other companies have been formed
and much larger area OF land planted
to this table delicacy. 1t would ap-
pear from the history of the celery in
dustry that there is splendid open
ing here now for some enterprising in
dividual or company to develop the
asparagus industry. There's. money
in it, and no mistake. That the sol
and climate are suitable to the produc
ton of the vegetable is made plain il

gus grows in portions of the valley

Nerve of an Oregon Miner.

A few days ago at Quartzburg, in
Baker County, Oregon, Theodore Eby,
miner, was working alone in q stope
in the Clifford mine when huge rock
fell from the hanging wall and struck
his leg, breaking it about half way be.
tween the knee and hip and pinloned
the unfortunate man fast. Within an
arms length of where he stood was
pick. With this instrument he prled
the rock from his leg and extricated
himself. There was no assistance
nearer than Mr.. Giffords house, just
below the dump of the tunnel, and the
only person there was Mrs. Clifford,
her husband being absent.
There was only one thing for Eby
to do, and that was to get himself out
the best way possible. The journey
ahead of him required almost super
human effort. He had to so down on
ladder in sixty-foot shaft from the
stope to the tunnel, which was 300 feet
from the entrance.
He let himself down the shaft by his
hands, and on reaching the tunnel
crawled out, all the time suffering the
most intense pain. On reaching th'
dump he called for help, and Mrs
| Clifford came to his assistance and
helped him to the house and to his
bed. Later Mr.. Clifford returned
home and procured physician to at
tend Mr.. Eby, who at last accounts
was getting along as.well as could b.
| expected.

the fight, De Croy took up his resi-.

/ have received it from just a score OF
good friends, but only two OF them
have the full poem of twenty stanzas

have fourteen, some twelve, and one
only eleven. One from Mrs. Hollo-

stanza, beginning
"These are the wants o. mortal man,

But has instead a stanza that L do
not find in any other copy. Which Is

The poem is remarkable not only for
its thought and felicity of expression
but because ats author, "the old man

ever wrote poem or even verse, sc

was the author of the lines,

Sir Andrew Clark's Presence of Mind.


Sir Andrew Clark was once on top of
a tall building in London admiring the
view ofthe surrounding country. While
thus employed he was touched on the
shoulder by quiet-looking man, who
slowly remarked, to the great astonish-
ment of Sir Andrew, "Sir, am going
to throw you Off" AS the quiet-look-
ing man was the larger, and there was
no help at hand, the matter for the
moment assumed very serious aspect.
Fortunately for Sir Andrew, he is pos
sessed of rare presence of mind, and in
bantering way Ire exclaimed: ''Pooh!
that's nothing; anybody could throw a
man off here. Now if you want to do
something great, try and throw me up
here from the ground. +"
"Well, can do that" said the
maniac, for such he proved to be, "and
if you will kindly descend to the street
I will prove it..

bounced into heap Of brush ana
landed fiat and fair on something soi'
and warm that gave out heart-chlil,
ing shrek, to which Bates responded
in an. excellent imitation OF cry
from a man all but scared to death. Id
second he felt four great claw-armeo
paws encircle him, glazing eyes gazee
into his and long white teeth sans
into his left arm. He had fallen, face
to face. on California lion, which he
saws looked to be about twenty feet
long, but which was probably about
five. It was big enough, though.
Bates had no weapon, was incum
bered with the roll of blankets on his
back. and all he could do was to strike
out with his fists and feet. The lion
was unouestionably as badly fright
ened as he or would have killed him by
clawing him to shreds. After the first
terrific impact each tried to get away
from the other, and after. minute s
fight the big animal broke away, Its
hair standing on end and its tail the
size of a barrel.
Bates bound up his wounds as best
he could and made his way out OF the
mountains, and came to Los Angeles,
Cal. to ascertain if there was danger
of notwithstanding. The doctors re
assured him on this point. His wounds
were painful, but not dangerous. His
legs were clawed aud his left arm Sc
verely lacerated. He does not thml
that he hurt the lion much, for hi
upper cuts and straight-arm jab
! seemed ineffective, but he is OF tn
opinion that the incident will neve
be forgotten by either of the particl
pants.
