SCROFULA
Il is Foul Blood's Advertise.
ment
But It Is Soon Cured by Hoed'O
SarsapariIIa.

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. IL is tho
scourge Of the world 49, offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters
Emollients may palliate, they canuox
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as wo
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with inn
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused Mex
much suffering. We tried medicines thas
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsaps-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofulR
sores since that time" MARIETTA M
SMITH, South Middleboro, Mass.

THAT NEX LEAF.

If you have turned over that new

economy you preach. First, don't

if you pay more for your Books and

would for the S anne articles at

Why pay fifty cents for an article

Up Against
Him.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 23.-After rout-
inc bueiness in the Senate was disposed
of, White, of Californis, took the floor
to make his snti-expanston speech. He
read several opinions of eminent jurists
on the constitutional questions, quoted
literally from messages of President
Mckinley as we'll as from his Atlsnta
speech besring on the question, and
called attention to the declarations OF
the president that the Cubans and FL

and that there was no intention on the
part of the United States to deny those
people their liberties.

it said, substantially, that he,
Brosius, learned his salary easier
than any other member of the house
because he slept most Of the time. " eff
that is true" he said, 81 ought not to

Will LAST FOR YEARS
Unless Something Occurs
To Cause Apprehension
Of A Change Of
Policy.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The boom In
the stock market has surprised even
the most sanguine among the bulls.
Values, with the exception of few
checks of temporary character. have
risen steadily. Many stocks show re-
cord prices, and the end is not yet.
In the opinion of shrewd men. who
are watching the rising tide of specula-
tion in Wall street, it indicates that
general business is on q boom through
out the country and has come to stay.
With possible occasional periods OF
decline that will not affect the general
prosperity, these men think the boom
will last three or four years.
s'This business boom has come to
stay" said former Governor Flower.
ST hesitate about putting limit on its
duration, except for occasional periods
of decline, the same as we have ex-
perienced after every revival OF this
kind. Good times will certainly be
with us 30 long as Europe remains SO
largely in our debt as at present"
Ex-Governor Flower is recognized
as leading authority in financial cir
cles.
In the two hours fof business up to
noon, the total sales of stock aggregat-
ed $40, 900 shares, which broke the REQ
ord of TIC, 900 made last Saturday.

A QUEER OLD MAN
Is Believed to Be Nearing His End

Is Believed to Be Nearing His End
CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-The
condition of Jacob N. Free, the "Im-
mortal j. NJ" who is lying dangerous
ly i'll at the home of his nephew, w.
81. Free, in this city, continues un-
changed. In view of his advanced age,
however-he is now past seventy-it
is doubtful If he ever recovers sufficient
strength and vigor to resume the aim
less wsnderings about the country,
which, in the course of o quarter of q
century. have made his peculiar So
briquet q household word ip many
stetes.
In his desire to right all wrongs and
to give to all mundane affairs their
proper equilibrium by 'slifling the
pressure'', he has journeyed hither and
thither, year in and year out never
ceasing until the illness
with which he now lies prostrated
compelled him at last to give up
the quixotic battle. Hundreds of
cities and towns, in Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois
and other states have become familiar
with his eccentric personality by rea-
son of his annual visits covering q
period of years reaching back to the
early sixties.
During the civil war his was .
familiar figure in Ohio and Indiana
especially. Mounted upon store box
or barrel head he endeavored to ex-
plain to his hearers how the conflict
might be brought to speedy and hap
py end by ''lifting the pressure.
Never ceasing his rambles he has con-
tinued year after year his efforts to
impress upon the public the fact that
'lifting the pressure" was the panacea
for all human ills.
For years the railroads have good
supplied him with annual
passes. His list of acquaintances/ en-
braces hundreds of public men in all
parts of the country. To the leaders
of both political parties he has made
himeelf familiar by his regular attend
ance on the national conventions.
At the time of the great Pullman
strike he attaacted attention by ad-
addressing an audience from the steps
of the Chicago postoffiee, telling his
hearers that the labor strike could
only be terminated by "lifting the
pressure"
His eccentric career is now nearing
a close, and it is probable that the
of persons who know him
or by sight will never see
the 'Iumortal j. N" again.

BRITISH SEAMEN
Ought To Have Employment On
British Ships.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Mr. Clark Rus

letters daily in support of his agitation
for legislative action looking to the
prevention Of an increase in the num-
ber Of foreign seamen employed:in the
British mercantile marine.
Mr.. Russell suggests that law be
passed to make 1t imperative for Brit
ish ship masters to take at least q GER

4 Lock of His IEnir.

A venerable. white haired clergyman
recently preached in the parish of a
friend. He had hardly got back to the
vicarage from the church when the door
bell rang and charming girl of IS
asked 20 see him. He received her
They talked about the sermon and other
things until finally she asked diffident-
ly:
"Oh, won't you please give me lock
of your hairY'
Certainly, my child" said the old
gentleman, fattered at the request.
"Il send it to you tomorrow, and he
did.
On his return to his own home he
had five more requests of the same kind,
and he proudly boasted to his wife that
he was glad to see that he had not yet
lost his power to please. All went well
until his wife received this note:
"Dear Mrs. -, won't you please
ask your husband to send me just lit
tie lock of his hair? We have all been
taking lessons in making hair flowers
So many of the other girls asked him
and he sent it to them-that [ thought
Iwould rather ask you to get it for me.
Won't you please do this for me? 1t is
so hard to get white hair fer lilies of
the valley"
This was a terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentlemans presence the better.

Testing n Diamond.

"When in doubt as to the genuine
ness of a diamond, said leading
dealer in precious stones to the writer
recently, "there is only one really re-
liable way by which the expert or the
amateur judge can determine the quail
ity of the article and that is to test its
hardness by holding it against rapidly
revolving grindstone from five to ten
minutes. Then, if the least mark ap-
pears upon the diamond, it is not real
stone, for if it were diamond, so far
from any mark being produced upon it,
it would be likely, on the other hand,
to make q deep impression on the
grindstone. The same test may also be
made with emery paper or on an emery
wheel, neither of which, although hard
er than a grindstone, will make any inn
preston upon genuine diamond.
"This is good thing for one to re-
member in these days of manufactured
diamonds. The paste article is now
made with such care that it sometimes
tests the skill of the expert to distin-
guish the genuine from the bogus, but
if the grindstone is brought into play
there can be no room for doubt. Some
people think that if they rub a stone
against glass and it makes a deep i'm
preston it is diamond. But nearly all
paste diamonds will scratch glass, and
the limitations of sapphires, rubies and
emeralds will do the same "-Washing-
