SPRING. DELUSIONS.
FACT VS.. CONJECTURE.
A Few Valuable Hints to Those Who
are Quick to Take Advantage of
Timely Suggestions.

Just now the advertising space of the
average newspaper is filled with advertise
ments of spring time medicines, blood
purifiers, etc When it is understood as
a scientific truth that the kidneys liver
and lungs are the only blood purifiers of
the human body, much disappointment
and money will be saved. Dizziness, pal
oitation, languid feelings, headache, back
ache, etc, are caused by the system being
poisoned by uric acid which the kidneys,
through overwork or weakness. do not
eliminate The troubles mentioned are
but symptoms. The cause lies deeper
Put the kidneys and liver in working
order with that vegetable specific, War
ners Safe Cure, and the symptoms and
attendant troubles Will disappear. With
the system in first class condition and
the great organs of life doing the work
nature intended them to do, most diseases
are thrown off. 1t is the weakened de-
bilitated poisoned body which fails an
easy prey to chills, fevers pneumonia
consumption, Bright's disease and death
No man orr woman can afford to be laid
up with a severe illness 1t is the part
of wisdom to keep we'll. Miss Florence
Buffum Secretary of the Ishwara Theoso-
phical Society, CT Minneapolis, under
stands this perfectly, and under date Of
January oath last, writes: Il have found
Warmers Safe Cure of high value. 1t
greatly assists a worn out system to
perform its duties, and whenever any OF
my friends become languid or pale and
full CT pains, | advise them to try War
ners Safe Cure, feeling assured that they
will be satisfied with the result" Miss
Buffum's experience can be yours VIII

White Oak Populists.

The Apex Press gives this piece Of good
news from White Oak:
Friday, the day for the Populist prim-
airy, was booked for a gathering of the
once powerful enemies of Democracy.
Only half dozen of that once powerful
organization showed up. They met on
the sidewalk, discussed matters and re-
turned to their respective homes. From
the information gathered, it is possible
that most of these will support the Con-
stitutional Amendment, if modified by
the Legislature in June. And how cap
they afford to do otherwise"

ARAB SKELETONS
Gathered at omdurman and Sold
In Europe.

LONDON, March 2O.-(Correspoud-
ence)-In London just at present the
faddists and the curio collectors are
vying with one another for the posses
sion of the skeletons Of dervishes that
have been brought back from the
bloody plains before Omdurman. Some
$50 to 200 dervish skeletons are on
the London market; and experts in
bones declare that their superiority
over the average skeletons of COM
merce will cause no little stir in ana
tomical circles.
One of the principal dealers in Lon
don states that these fine, athletic der
wishes make the finest skeletons ever
put on the bone market.
1T is not SO easy to insure a supply
of well developed skeletons" he said,
for many of those are obtained from
the stunted, half-starved type which
ends its days-unClaimed and uncared
form a casual ward or hospital. The
dervish offered a rare opportunity in
skeletons, and although the expense OF
transport Is very great, the type of
skeleton he makes is sure TO command
price sufficiently high TO cover the
extra cost of freight.
only a small percentage have come
to LOndOn-the rest have been dtstrib-
uted among the other large European
cities, such as Vienna, Berlin and
Paris. Great care has TO be taken in
selecting specimens from a battlefield
for those with shattered or broken
bones will not furnish an entire skele-
ton.
"Of course there is always a sale OF
skulls and single bones, but the aim OF
those who supply anatomical dealers is
to obtain entire and perfect skeletons
for these naturally bring a higher price
After the FrancO-Prussian war the
skeleton trade bade fair to be over
stocked, and dealers held back their
surplus stock lest prices should be toe
much cut There was not a single
German skeleton offered-it is always
the vdnquished that come to an ana
tOmical end.
Its a curious thing" continued the
connoisseur IN bones. that the skele-
tons OF Frenchmen should be so much
whittier than British ones. The large
importation of French skeletons after
| the war quite changed the public taste
as to the color OF bones. for there are
fashions and tastes in bones as in 9th
or marketable wares.
1t doesn't matter how much you ar
ltihCially bleach English-bred bones
| They always remain yellOwer than
those OF our friends across the Chan
mel. And a very white skeleton inva.
riably fetches a pound or two more
than a brownish yellow one. though
OF course. time and exposure to air vii
darken and discolor the very whitest

A new hotel is one OF the prime
necessities in this city. While it
is fact that some large industrial
institution would be the means OF
distributing more money, yet 1t is
questionable where the moral effect
would be as great as would come
from the erection of a hotel. 1t is
simply impossible to guage the
criticism which this city is sub
iected to from travellers because OF
the absence of hotel accomoda-
tons. 1t is matter of surprise
that city OF such commercial im>

better hotel facilities long years
