TIE PICTURE OF HEALTH
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Made Her
Strong and Healthy.
“Hood s Sarsaparilla lias been of great bene
fit to onr little girl, and also to myself and bus
hand. When she was 3 years old Mabel was
seized with stomach trouble, like cramps or in
flammation. I was taking Hood s Sarsaparilla
for my blood, and as the doctor’s prescription
did not help her, I occasionally gave her a lit
tie of my own medicine. I soon realized that
Hood’s Sarsaparilla was
Doing Her Good,
so gave it to her regularly. It has helped her
wonderfully, entirely curing her stomach
trouble, and making her strong and healthy.
Our friends say she is the picture of health.

a mile in widtfc, thirteen miles off the
northeast coast of Sardinia. Its pop
ulation numbers about fifty-five peo
!’1°- inhabitants The principal is Ashing, occupation the laud of being the
tilled only enough to supply the needs
°‘ the Islanders. The possession and
absolute sovereignty of the island of
Tavolara was formally granted by
King Charles Albert of Sardinia to the
Bartoleoni family, in 1836, aud for
Inore than half a century Paul I.,
King of Tavolara, reigned over it in
peace. On the 30th of May, 1882,
King Paul died of heart disease,

should succeed him on the throne of
“"owed *1° island to aml govern tUat themselves. its inhabitants None be
of the relatives ever filed a claim, and
ou March 27, 1886, the islanders held
a mass meeting an 1 decided to estab
lish a Republic. The matter was a
simple one for them. A Constitution
was drawn up, which gives, by the
way, equal suffrage to women, and
also provides for the election of a
President every six years. The Pres
ident receives no salary, and is ad
vised by a Council of six, the mem
tiers of w hich are elected by the peo
pie. There is no pay and no perqui
sites attached to any of the offices.
If we were judging the countries by
their area, then to Goust must be
awarded the honors. But while its
area is not one-third as great as that
of Tavolara, its population is over
tw-iee as much, the total number of
inhabitants being about 130. Goust
is situated 011 the flat top of a mount¬
ain in the Lower Pyrenees, and occu¬
pies an area of but a fraction over a
mile. The Republic has existed since
1618, and is recognized as an indepen¬
dent State by both France and Spain.
The Government is vested in a Coun¬
cil, consistingof twelve members, who
serve seven years. This Council elects
from its number one who discharges
the duties of Chief Executive. He acts
as Tax Collector, Assessor, Judge, etc.,
but from all his acts there is an appeal
to the Bishop of Laruns, in the valley
below. Other than these there are no
officers, not even a clergyman. Neither
stitution * whatever. ^metery or The any pass public which in
leads to the adjacent Spanish parish
of Laruns is so steep l*hat the carrying
of heavy burdens is an impossibility.
The inhabitants of this tiny mountain
Republic have built a chute, therefore,
down which they slide heavy articles, ’
- the ,, , bodies ot their ,, . dead , to the ,,
ccnieterj fai below. Indeed, the good
inhabitants of Goust are baptized,
married, and buried in the near-by Os
sau Valley. The inhabitants are long
lived aud robust, are shepherds and
weavers of cloth, and seem entirely
contented with their lot, having little
ambition either for riches or power.
Their language is a quaint mixture of
French and Catalonian Spanish.
Another Republic of dwarf propor¬
tions is that of Franceville, an island
in the New Hebrides group, situated
east of Australia and a short distance
north of New Caledonia. It contains
an area of some eighty-five miles, and
its population consists of about forty
whites and 500 natives. The island
was formerly a colony of France, but
its independence was guaranteed it in
1879. Its Government consists of a
President aud Advisoi’y Council of
eight, chosen by the people. The
President, who is at present a Mr. R.
D. Polk, a native of this country, is
appointed a Judge, from whose de¬
cisions there is no appeal. Equal
suffrage is extended to all. "White or
black, male or female, may vote, but
only the white male may hold office.
San Marino is an Italian Republic,
situated in the eastern spurs of the
Apennines, and occupying an area of
about thirty-tnree square miles. An
interesting feature of San Marino is
that oy an act of the Great Council no
printing press is allowed, within its
limits, and any matter printed in the
country liable to confiscation and
tne publishers to oe sent to prison.
It is the only country on the face of
the globe with such a law. The in

1 a quaint old
place, having changed little, if any,
since the time of Columbus, It pre
serves and the all of its old customs infact,
dress of the people, even, is
the same as it was three centuries
ago. The Republic is governed by a
Great Council of sixty members, who
are elected for life. From this body
is elected a Council of twelve, who
decide in the third and last resort,
The executive department is repre
sented by two Captains-Regent, one
elected by the people and the other
appointed from the nobility by the
Council of Twelve. They have a
Cabinet consisting ox a Home Secre
tary, a Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and a Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Au army of 950 men is maintained,
who, however, are mostly employ ed
on police duty. !San Marino dates its
existence as a community from 885,
and its independence as a Republic *
from 1631.
Andorre, or Andorra, as it is com
mtfttly called, is another European
Republic, a trifle larger in point of
population than San Marino, and
nearly six times as large in area. It
is situated in an almost inaccessible
valley of the Eastern Pyrenees, be
tween the French department of
Anege and Caladorra in Spain,
The Andorrians are a fine, robust peo
pie, whose principal occupation con-
5’sts of fruit culture and mining, the
mountains surrounding Andorre con
taining some of the finest iron and
lead deposits in the world. Andorra,
the capital of the Republic, is situated
on the River Balua, and contains
about 2200 inhabitant*. The Republic
u governed by ft Sovereign Council of
twenty-four members, chosen by the
people, and the Council elects one of
i4s members to be Syndic for life, who
exercises the chief executive power,

land measures but four square miles,
and the proud nation which inhabits

as it is, the Republic exists, free and
independent, under the rule of its
people, and enjoys the protection of
Germany. It has existed an indepen
dent State since 1088. It is governed
by a President and a Council consist
ing of five members, who are elected
every three years, the President being
eligible to but two terms. Thena
tional army consists of three soldiers,
who, in the piping times of peace, also
act in the capacity of policemen. The

Flowers and Smelling Salts.
A physician, commenting the other
day upon the prevalence of deafness,
said that the affliction, m a greater or
less degree, was almost universal
among his women patients. He had
been seek ! n ." \ n * de 8 ” ,tor [ f «*
cuuso ’ and had about . decJtk ‘ d that the
use ot strong salts m the smelling
bottle of the fashionable woman had
something to do with it, -
In one case he was positive that such
was the fact, for it was after a nervous
attack of about six weeks' duration,
through which his patient seemed to
be kept up only by constantly bury*
ing her nose in her vinaigrette, which
was kept freshly and strongly filled,
that she noticed that the hearing of
one ear became defective. The illness
occurred last summer, but the deaf*
ness remains without increase. An
other case well authenticated was of
permanent and severe deafness dating
from an inhalation of ether,
In this connection a fact recently
commented upon in an English print
is of interest..
This was that the smelling of freshly
cut flowers, and even in a lesser de¬
gree of extracts and other artificial
perfumes, has a pronounced and imme¬
diate effect upon the voice. Patti is
quoted as saying t.At even a sachet of
iris powder has weakened her voice for
a time, aud Nilsson will be hoarse for
days if she smells f>f violets or lillies.
Recently a great artiste engaged to
sing at an “at home” given by one of
the Rothschilds lost her voice com¬
pletely after briefly sniffing at a large
bouquet of violet* that had been pre¬
sented to her. |
The curious pr^rt is that the delicate
perfume of the violet seems tho most
serious of all. After that come the
tuberose, mimosa, lilac and hyacinth.
The fact has become so well recog¬
nized that all the Continental directors
of operas forbid the presence of bou¬
quets in the dressing rooms.
The doctors are unable to explain
this condition beyond the fact that all
these perfumes affect the larynx, and
thus injure the voice.
Which fact will Lend Lo cpnfirm the
physician’s diagnosis that the ear pas¬
sages are affected by smelling salts.-*
New l r ofk Times.
Indians Failures as Soldiers.
The Indians as soldiers are assured
failures. During the past few months
they have been purchasing their dis¬
charges from the army very freely,
and the Indian companies have been
materially reduced in numbers. When
the Indian troops started, at the in¬
stance of an officer who believed the
Indian could be the easiest taken care
of by making him a part of the army,
there were eight cavalry and seventeen
infantry companies composed of In¬
dians. Now there are only six caval¬
ry and nine infantry Indian com¬
panies, and the remaining troops are
slowly dwindling away.
All sorts of reasons are given in the
applications for discharge, mainly
that the applicant desires to return to
his life in the field, free from the re¬
straints of army life. One applicant
this week said his wife at Standing
Rock Agency had died and left a pa¬
poose with no one to care for it but a
man, a friend of the Indian soldier,
and the latter desired to buy his way
out of the service and take up his
household cares again. His request
was granted.
It is estimated that it will take two
y ears to deplete the Indian companies
at the rate of the present discharges,
Nobody at the War Deiiartment un
dertakes to say whether the Indian
enlistments have been beneficial for
Indians. The experiment has
p een a costly one for the Government,
although if it has unconsciously lm
p res9e d upon the Indian the futility
0 f opposing the Government forces,
the expenditure will not be begrudged,

A Texas Cotton Palace.
Waco, Texas, is to have a cotton
palace after the plan of the St. Paui
“ice palace” and the Sioux City “corn
palace.” Apropos the undertaking of
the enterpsise the Fort Worth Ga
zettesays; “The rich Brazos bottom
lands are probably unequalled in the
'world for the growth of cotton, and
Waco is the mistress of this wealth,
We have not the figures at hand to
support or disprove it, hut we believe
the direct cotton receipts at Waco are
greater than in any other city in
Texas. Galveston and Houston, be
ing water shipping ports, show much
greater receipts, but nearly all of these
are by rail, and only pass through
those cities on their way to market,
The cotton that W aco handles is from
the growers’ wagons; it is sold there,
and the money for it goes into the
pockets of the people. ”—New Orleans

Cultivating Peanuts iu India,
Peanuts—or a=- they are called there,
groundnuts—are largely cultivated in
India, the area devoted to the crop in
the presidency of Madras, alone, rang
ing from 200,000 to 280,000 acres.
The methods of cultivation are very
rude and primitive. When the crop
is ready for harvest from forty to
eighty women are employed per acre
for gathering the nuts, which they do
by grubbing them out of the soil,
The average crop on unirrigated land
is fifty bushels per acre, on irrigated
land about twice that.—American Agri

Tight-Fitting Clothes.
It is to be regretted that, in his ex¬
haustive work on the philosophy oi
clothes, Carlyle did not add a chapter
on the influence of tight clothing on
happiness, says a physician in Cas¬
sell’s Magazine. Perhaps he thought
the dignity of his subject was too
great for him to descend to a criticism
of the follies iu dress which so many
women (and men) suffer in silence.
The first and main object of wearing
clothes is to protect the body—to keep
it warm in cold weather and cool in
hot weather. Mere personal adorn¬
ment was originally a secondary consid¬
eration. Clothes act in virtue of be¬
ing bad conductors of heat and so pre¬
venting the too quick passage of heat
to or from the body. Different kinds
of materials are efficacious according
to the slowness or quickness with
which they allow the conduction of
heat. Woolen materials are best (hence
the value of woolen underclothing,
which tends to maintain a very equa¬
ble temperature of the body—so that
we are better able to withstand sud
den changes of weather, draughts,
etc.), nnd an order of comparative
merit through furs, silk and cotton to
linen might be drawn up.
The more loosely clothing fits, the
less it conducts heat, because a layer
of air is interposed between it and the
body—and air is an exceedingly bad
conductor of heat. This protecting
layer of air enables the body in winter
to keep its normal temperature the
more easily, because the heat given
off at the surface of the body passes
slowly through it; whereas, if the
clothing fit too closely to the skin,
heat is dissipated with much greater
rapidity. In summer time, on the
other hand, the air in which we move
is not so warm as the objects upon
which the sun’s rays fall directly, and
so the surface of the clothes may be
come much hotter than the air sur
rounding them. The advantage of
the layer of air is obvious also in this
case. Therefore, we see that in hot
and in cold weather, too tightly fitting
clothing defeats the first and great
object of wearing clothes and tends to
exhaust the bodily strength and make
it unfit for work.
Comluctibllity of Trees.
A French electrical paper gives the
results of experiments made by Mr.
Dimitrie, in whicti he subjected differ¬
ent pieces of wood to the sparks from
a Holtz machine and found that they
conducted quite differently ; oak was
easily pierced, while beech was quite
resisting; the richness in water did
not seem to have any influence, while
the amount of oil contained was of
great importance; woods containing
starch and but little oil, like the oak
and poplar, have much less resistance
than those containing oil like the
beech ; pine ccntxins oil in the winter,
but is very poor in oil in the summer,
when it exists only as much as the
oak ; by extracting the oil with ether
the woods are as easily pierce! as
those containing starch; those con¬
taining starch are less easily pierced
when living than when dead ; the bark
and the foliage in all the trees are
poor conductors, The conclusions
are in accordance with observations,
as in a certain case 159 oaks were
struck by lighting as against twenty
one beech and fifty-nine pine trees;
the danger of being struck ns com¬
pared with beech is five for Norway
pine, thirty-three for pine and forty
eight for oak. ~ Philadelphia Record.
Shut Up in a Log.
Charle3 Tuttle was splitting an im
mense cedar log at Tacoma by driving
in a number of wedges. He stool ou
top of the log-, and after au hour’s
work had been able to make an open¬
ing about a foot wide. Tuttle was
hammering away on the big wedge
when the log split open and he fell in¬
to the opening feet downward. The
two halves opened completely out, buf
rolled back again before he could es¬
cape. The log .remained close ! to
within less than a foot, leaving him
inclosed within it with only his hea l
in sight. The pressure was so great
that he was unable to call for help,
but a number of his fellow workman
near by ran to his aisistance. The log
was pried open and Tuttle was lifted
out. Upon examination no bones w ere
found broken, but how badly he wa,
internally injured could not be toil.
Whether death will result from the in¬
juries is uncertain, but he will be per¬
manently PftTir*'. injured —Spokane Wash.)
Housekeepers
Should Remember.
The Government Chemists, after having analyzed
all the principal brands of baking powder in the
market, in their reports placed the “Royal” at the
head of the list for strength, purity and whole v:re
ness; and thousands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities
are, in every respect, unrivaled.
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gilt or
prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they in
variably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and
render the food unwholesome.
HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.
Use old matting under carpet.
A pail of cold water will purify the
air of the room.
For grease spots, equal parts of ether
and chloroform are good.
„ Keep a uish of water 011 the back ol
the stove to purify the ail.
A large, soft sponge, either dry or
slightly dampened, makes a good dus

Before laying a carpet wash the floor
with turpentine to prevent buffalo

A teaspoonful of ammonia to one
teacupful of water is good for clean¬

“Eat slowly and you will never
overeat,” is the advice of a halo and
hearty old man of seventy-live.
Never enter a sick room in a state of
perspiration, as the moment you be¬

Bacteria is likely to be
for the ills that flesh is heir to. Pro¬
fessor Schenck now maintains
what we call a “cold” is really due to
these invisible pests. When one en¬
ters a uuld room, after being heated,
says the Chicago Herald , the bacteria
flock to tbe warm body, and enter by
the open pores of the skin. Whatever
may be said of this hypothesis lie
seems to prove by experiment,
bacteria in the neighborhood of a warm
move toward it.

who pronounced my case a poor or impov¬

over the womb. I bloated at times in my
bowels and limbs; was troubled with leu
