The Lie Guards are two regiments OF
calvary forming part Of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart is
proud OF them. Not only the King 5
household. but yours, ours, everybody s
should have its life guards. The need OF
them is especially great when the great
est foes Of life, diseases, find allies in the
very elements, as colds, influenza. Ca
tsrTh, the grip and pneumonia do in the
stormy month OF March. The best way
that we know Of to guard against these
diseases IL to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla-the greatest Of all
life guards. Il removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all vital organs and functions, and
imparts a genial warmth TO the blood.
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.

A Homespun Heart y

OF the play that will appear here at
the Opera House on Monday night next,
and is filling a weeks engagement al
Holiday street, Baltimore, this week, the
Baltimore SNH says:
"a play that embodies the realism
shown in "A Homespun Heau can
scarcely fail to please. The theme works
out on pastoral background that IS dis
tInciiye and clearly defined. Il pictures
the story Of the sincere devotion a half
witted brother has for his sister in a way
that is touching. A miser's endeavoT,
with the aid Of an adventures, TO be
smirch the sisters name in order 10 sep
arate her from her family. and, as cir
cumstances develop. acquire the family
property, constitutes the base OF action
and gives the young man who is sup.
posed TO be short OF good sense opportu-
mites OF proving fidelity that those OF
sound mind often do not maintain
Chickens, farm implements. a hock Of
pigeons add the realism of the play.
The best acting probably is done by
Harry L. Dickinson, as the half-witted
brother. whose strength Of body makes
up for his lack Of brain ard who portrays
the part with much effectiveness.

curious to notice how complete

cent correspondence has led me
to think that a vague notion
that electricity is a fluid which
in some mysterious way flows
through a telegraph wire like
water through pipe. is about
as far as he got; and if we add
to this same knowledge of what
he calls 'electric shocks, we
would probably exhaust his
ideas on the subject. Yet this
is not to be wondered at. Even
the most instructed physicists
can do nothing but guess as to
what electricity is, and the on.
ly point on which they agree is
as to what it is not. There is,
in fact, a perfect consensus of
of opinion among scientific
writer's that it is not fluid, i
e., a continuous stream of pom.
derable matter, as is liquid or
gas; and that it is not a form of
energy, as is heat. Outside
