Wine in PAPER,

The biggest item of incidental loss in
ocean traffic during the stormy seasons
of the year is that of breakage in the
wine stores. No matter how securely
the bottles are fixed in the bins par
ticularly heavy sea striking the ship
in a certain spot or continued rolling
and pitching will cause great loss in
costly wines that were never intended
to wash the floor or the walls. A French
firm is going to do away with this old
time source of annoyance and COM
plant. After years of experimenting
it has succeeded in manufacturing a pa
per bottle which will not break and
which has the advantages of the ordi-
nary glass bottle. In the home, too,
such bottles would be highly appreci-
ated.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

A Negro Colony in Maine.

Unlike most of the African SETTLE
mentss in Maine, the negro colony at
Warren did not originate from the un-
dergrounf railroad or the anti-slavery
proclamation; it antedates Names ad-
mission to the union, and sprung IRON
a single colored man named Amos Re
ters, who came from Plymouth, Mass,
in 1857 or thereaborts. and his wife
Sarah, slave from Guinea, brought to
Damariscotta by sea captain. The
progeny of this pair had increased to 80
people in 1880, but their numbers have
since dwindled down to so. They be-
came successful farmers, their t1ocks
and herds increased, and one of them
accumulated a fortune of $4,000. They
have been good citizens on the whole,

sent to prison. being the illustrious de-
scendant of long line of honest and in

And liked among the mpor-
tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity of a good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparila purifes, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes ont of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse is
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as a
preventive and it will pay you a thou
sandfold in health and strength through
the coming summer.
Daily camera., 1897-05-08

"We always take several bottles OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla in our family every
spring as tonic and blood purifier and
we find that it overcomes that tired feel
ing gives new life, and keeps US well all
summer" VIM. RINGEL, S13 5th Ave,
Peoria, Illinois.
Excellent Spring Medicine.
"For number OF years I have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla in the spring, not Tor
any particular ailment, but on general
principle, that the system needs a tonic
at this time, and I have always found
Hoods Sarsaparilla most excellent
spring medicine" HAKoN HAMMER,
Engineer, Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
That Tired Feeling.
"I was troubled with that tired feeling
all the sprir,. Ipurchased three bottles
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and when l had
taken about half of it I was feeling well
again. | believe Hoods Sarsaparilla to be
an excellent blood purifier and tonic"
MISS ORA E. MORGAN, Busey, Illinois.
Builds up the Health.
"We take Hoods Sarsaparilla as q
tonic in the spring. Two of our children
had tonsilitis and their blood was in a
bad condition. Hoods Sarsaparilla built
them up, and we have taken it again this
spring with much benefit" MRS. P. II.
CAHooN, Pleasant Lake, Mass.

Sarsaparilla do not be induced to buy
anything else instead. There is no SUBJ
stitute for Hoods.
