to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried it and
who know they were cured by the use OF
the remedy. There is nothing strong

with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or

ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis

Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with In. Ayers Sarsapa-

Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and
went on to course of DR.. Ayers Sarsspa-

that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent il. So she took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect

It 10 not a common occurrence that a

LinRard. AT twenty-five she was dragging
out her days In misery. Al si1ty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing'on 1t, and they
blistered my side in an effort TO give me
relief. was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress, but for five years,
between the pain in my side and the

saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take e

was so painful that could not fasten my

relief, but my friend advised me to per-

One afternoon. day or two before the

lives at Wilmington. Mass. She had
never been apprised of his marriage.
Among other things the letter said that
she was i'll and wanted to see him

his wife in the house with everything
in such a mixed-up condition. He
finally decided to take his wife with
him. Together they went to Whining

The Fullness Thereof.

Amid the discomforts of life and the
fullness Thereof. reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure. the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
SO much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
OF the physical structure of man. there
are always remedies good. better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia. sciatica or lum-
bago, or with the minor ailments OF
sprains and bruises, or of soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy of St. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in SO many
complete and perfect cures make 1t
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should We stand on the
order of going for it, and not go at
once? In numberless cases the aggra-
vations Of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

ZUNI WITCH BATTING.
New Mexican Priests In Jail for Acting
on Old Superstition.

New Mexican Priests In Jail for Acting
on Old Superstition.
From the New York Journal: Some
nine months ago the princess of the
Zuni We-Wa died after a lingering III
ness, and an old squaw of the N<w
Mexican town was accused of killing
her by some spell. She was tried by
the priests, the governor of the tribe
and the most prominent people and
sentenced to death. In order first 10
determine her guilt she was carried
to one of the rooms of the city and
cast off. The theory of the priests was
that IL she were witch she would
unfurl her wings and fly away, and
II she were innocent she would exon
crate herself by being killed. The old
woman was not killed by the fall, and
she was then taken to post and
strung up by the thumbs. When she
could no longer endure the agony she
confessed to having killed the queen
The witch of Zuni found a friend.
however, in a missionary in that re-
gion, who cared for her and reported
the affair at Washington When the
troops arrived they found two of the
priests in the hands of the sheriff On
being tried each of the four was held
in $4,000 bail to appear at the Febru-
ary term of the grand jury. In de-
fault of bail the holy men are confined
in prison, and they will probably be
convicted and sent to the penitentiary

PERiLS OF THE FOG.
Impossible to Locate tho Position of . Fog
Horn BELL.

The science Of navigation has failed
to develop any contrivance to over
come the perils of a fog at sea. Steam-
ers blow their whistles at intervals as
warning to each other. On the coasts
they have fog horns planted at high
places and whistling buoys and tolling
bells floating on the surface of the
water. Sailing ships use heavy bells
that can be heard afar off, and advise
the masters of other ships of the neces-
sity Of caution, but the great difficult
ty that always has been found and
still exists is to locate the source of
fog signal. There is something decep-
tive in sound that has passed through
thick atmosphere. The vibrations
may be carried long distance, but the
ear is apt to be deceived. They seem
to come from different directions. The
captain of a ship in fog will stand
with his mate upon the bridge with his
hand to his ear trying to locate n sig
nal from another vessel, and nine
times out of ten the two will disagree
as to the direction from which it came.
The mate will insist that 1t is off the
port quarter and the captain will be
sure that 1t comes from straight ahead,
while the quartermaster down in the
wheel house, when his opinion is ask
cd, will point another way.
l lay for twentyfour hours once in
Tampa bay within plain hearing of n
whistling buoy which marked the
channel and groancd like the cry of II
lost soul, but the captain dared not
turn his wheel all that time and lay at
anchor for II night and a day until the
fog lifted, because he could not locate
the source of the sound. Sometimes 1t
was straight ahead, sometimes it was
behind him, and then again it would
be on either side. He even sent out
boats to scout the waters and locate it,
but they were unsuccessful in their
search and found great difficulty in
getting back to the vessel.
For two or three years microphOnes
were used on some of the ocean steam
ers, and believe they still have them
on several men-of-war. but the shippers
say that they are useless and cOnfus-
ing. AT the last international marine
conference the testimony of the most
experienced navigatorS of the world
was against them. Old sea captains as
sert that the human ear is more accu-
rate In detecting sounds and determn-
ing their direction without the assist
ancc of any ncwfangled invention, and
when sailor cannot hear distinctly he
would better go ashore and stay there.
