The English Society for the Proven
ton Of Consumption" presided over by
the Prince Of Wales, was recently adj
dressed by Sir William Broadbent, who
stated that it was definitely known tina
every case of consumption began with
a germ communicated from some other
case. Thereisn 10 such thing as inherited
consumption. There may be local
weakness which tends to consumption,
but the germ has absolutely to be plant
ed in that weak spot before consumption
can ensue. This ought to comfort
thousands Of people who have weak
chests" or "weak lungs" They are not
ioreordained victims to this dread dis
ease. All taat is needed to bid absolute
defiance to this deadly scourge, is to be
able to strengthen the weak lungs, and
build mp a strong body. The answer TO
this need is found in Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t so purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply,
that disease is thrown off, and the weak
organs are nourished into perfect health,
which defes germs of every kind. Peo-
pie, given up by doctors, emaciated
bleeding at the lungs, with obstinate
lingering coughs, are being cured every
day by the use of Golden Medical Dis
coyery." 1t is a strictly temperance
medicine containing no alcohol, whiskey
or other intoxicant.

Prosperity, due to its great foreign

sumption Of vegetable products in like

ever, does not deserve the name Of
fruit marmalade, as 1t is made from
fragments left over from manufacture

parison of English and German wares
reveals the difference. The English
marmalade is good fruit mush and su-
gar. The German consists of unappe-
tizing fragments without any sugar.

cause it is there made from maize, in

SCENES AT

Widest, fercest gambling is going
on these days in the wind-swept camp
of 10000 men and 700 women on Cape
Nome, writes a correspondent. Vet
eran miners who have followed the
ftful beckonings Of fortune among all
the gold and silver camps from Chi
huahua, Mexico, to Alaska, during more
than 40 years, say they never knew a
duplicate of Monies saturnalia Of gam

may be summed up in three words
mining, gambling and drinking.

III. George wa.h,nrton Trick.

Tho George Washington Trick.
Here is al excellent trick, which
can be executed with little difficulty:
The performer has a number OF slips
of paper ON his table, and he asks sew
eral persons to call out the name OF a
famous man. AS the names are called
out the performer writes them down
on separate slips, folds each slip. and
drops It into q hat. When ten or
twelve names have been called the
performer shakes the. hat, mixing the
slips, and has one drawn by some one
in the audience. The name is noted
and the paper burned. The ashes are
then rubbed on the performers fore
arm, and the chosen name Is revealed
in red letters. Before doing the trick
the performer writes the name Of some
prominent person, say George Wash
ington, ON his arm with milk. using
. match or a toothpick, &C with q piece
Of damp soap, pointed fine. But how
does the pe1tormer know what name
will be chnsen?" You ask. Simply be-
cause only one name is used. On each
slip. ~, the audience calls on the va
rious names. 10 writes the words
George Washington. In q group Of
celebrities the name OF George Wash
ingtons is almost certain to be mem
toned. AS the hat contains slips on
which are written the same name there
IL no question o TO what name will
be drawn. The rest n easy. At this
time names Of presidential candidates
might be called for. n like manner
names Of animals. birds, trees, flowers
or the names Of countries % be used.

Soldiers

No man should be more capable Of
giving an estimate Of the American
soldier than Brig.-Gen. Joseph Wheel
er, the veteran of three wars In a re-
cent statement he says that the Amer
leans are the best fighters that the
world has ever produced. He says: I
witnessed a great deal of fighting dur
ing the civil war, but not any in which
the men on either side showed more
bravery than I have seen them exhibit
recently in Cuba and in the Philip
pines. Never shall I forget the occa-
sion when, yellow fever having broken
out in Siboney, the Twenty-fourth in
fantry volunteered to go back and
nurse the sick-to encounter, in a
word, a plague ten times more terrify-
ing than any human enemy they could
be called upon to face in battle array.
