Catarrh Can be Cured

By eradicating from the blood the ecrof-
ulous taints which cause it. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly and
permanently, because it strikes at the
root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate passages
of the mucus membrane, soothes and
rebuilds the tissues, giving them a ten
dency to health instead of disease, and
ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsapsrilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debili
tated victim of catarrh feel that new life
has been impaired.
Do not daily with snutfs, inhalants or
other local applications, but take Hoods
Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh absolutely
and surely by removing the causes
which produce it.

gallant officer, playfully brushing back
the locks which go gracefully conceal his
bald pate, my parents were, suppose,
at their Wits end to cuugel up some
name appropriate for the marvel of hu-
man excellence they undoubtedly
thought me to be. At that time, which
marks an era in one life, any way, Gen.
eral Scott was in the zenith of his glory
aud rotundity. He was great friend of
my parents, and frequently called at our
house. AS l said. my parents were
cudgeling their brains to find some name
good enough to tack on such a morsel or
humanity as myself, and while in the
midst OF their councils one day the huge
shadow of Scott darkened the doorway
and cast it's robust shade on me. That
settled it. The circumstance was regard
ed as an auspicious omen, and forthwith
it was decided that l was to pass through
life as Winfield Scott Schley.
"Now, for PHYS sake don't give my
last name with German accent. It's
pronounced Sly, plain, commonplace,
everyday Sly. That's the way it has
been pronounced in my family as long
as can remember or ever heard of. I'm

The soldiers on the transports crowd

cheering of the civilians with hearty

The authorities at Washington have
been urged to use haste in this matter.
It has been suggested to use Spanish
transports for the work, fear being ex-

troops on account of the exposure of
the Spaniards to yellow fever.

cident OF a fog on the morning Of the
battle of Inkerman, which enabled a
handful OF British troops to impress forty
thousand Russian soldiers with the idea
that they we're more numerous and bet
ter supported than they really were, the
English army would have been driven
into the Black Sea, and the subsequent

/ can imagine the interest with which our
sailors and soldiers will look around the
famous city and harbor of Santiago. One
of the sights in the harbor is the remains of
the old St. Paul, one of the ships of the
great Spanish armada. that Philip III sent
to England in 1885, being one of the very
few of that famous fiotilla that escaped de-
struction at the time: what a, career this
old ship had been through; she had breasted
the waves of many seas and withstood the
storms in many waters for nearly three CEN
turies when she was burned to the waters
edge here in Santiago harbor, few years
ago. and sunk. where her remains now lie
covered with barnacles. an emblem of the
nation whose flag she once so proudly bore.
During the last years of her career afioat
she was used as a transport for troops from
Europe. and as a Spanish guardship in these
seas by the local government. She can only
be seen at low water, only the ribs and
stanchions are held together by the stout
keel and timbers and lower sheathing. The
Spaniards would probably have tried to de-
stroy even this part of the wreck If they
had supposed that the American tackles
would have made these timbers into relics
