LARGE PAINFUL ULCER THE INQUISITION.
On Limb. Completely Helpless. Unable
to Walk without Crutches. Flesh
to the Bone Dropped Out.
Suffered Greatly. Doctors Failed t-o
Relieve. Speedily Cured by
Cutlcura Remedies.
Tn tho summer of 18S8 n sore came on the fleshy
part of my right lop. not far from the shin hone. It
continued to Increase In size, and eventually formed
a largo ulcer three Inches loug hy two wide. 1 em
ployed a regular physician, but he gave me no relief,
it was very painful, and eventually part of the flesh
to the bone dropped out. After suffering with it
for six months I was induced to try the CuTtci ra
Remedies. At this time I was completely help,
less, unable to walk without crutches, and suf-
ft’red greatly. In about a week the sore began to
show signs of improvement, and eventually was
completely healed. Another sore then broke out on
my instep, but the same treatment soon cured that.
I was indebted solely to the CrTicrnA Remedies
for my restoration to health. My leg is now as well
as it ever was, and since then I have not been trou*
bled with sores. D. >\ MKRU1TT,

AN INSTITUTION THAT EXISTED IN
SPAIN FOR GENERATIONS.
It, Victim, Are Numbered by Hundred*
of Thouftnnd,—1 'Iret Directed Again,t
Jen,, Afterward Heretic Christian,
"Were Tortured ami Killed,
Perhaps those who have accused Chris
topher Columbus of narrow, sectarian
bigotry anti of cruelty have not suffi
ciently taken into account the spirit of
tho age in which he lived. The intol
erance, the bigotry and tho merciless
cruelty of that time are sufficiently illus
trated in that most monstrousof*institu-
tions, tho Spanish inqnisition.
\\ hat is called the modem inquisition
was established in Spain under the reign
of Ferdinand and Isabella—sovereigns
who j assessed many of the elements of
greatness, and who certainly brought
Spain to a high position among the na
tions of the world. Yet it was under
the reign of these two sovereigns that
tho monstrous iuquisitiou was estab
lished.
This inquisition consisted of a com
mission consisting of several judges,
whose duty it was to hunt out heretics
and punish them. The primary object
of the inquisition was to extirpate
every trace of heterodoxy, and make a
land where none but tho orthodox could
live. It succeeded in its attempt, hut
the history of its proceedings fur
nishes one of tho most bloody nar
ratives to which tho race lias over lis
tened.
Tho attention of tho inqnisition was
tirst directed against tho Jows. This
thrifty race of people then, as now,
were conspicuous for their financial im-
|>ortanco. In the course of time many
Christians became their debtors, and it
is probable that tho desire to escape
these just debts frequently occasioned
the seizure of these unfortunate Jews
for heresy. Tho Christian not only did
not feel it incumbent upon himself to
pay his debts to heretics, but even all
their property was confiscated.
These heretics could ho accused anony
mously, and it was not considered neces
sary to bring tho accused nnd tho ac
cuser face to face. The accused heretic
was seized without warning, conveyed
to the chambers of tho inquisition nnd
rigidly kept from all intercourse with
tho outside world. No relativo or friend
to condole with him or to advise him
was permitted to come into his presence.
He was kept in ignorance of tho charge
upon which lie was incarcerated. Coun
sel was allowed him, hut this was a mere
formality, for this counsel was not al
lowed to confer with him.
If tho prisoner refused to confess his
guilt, or was caught in evasions or con
tradictions, lie was conveyed to tho tor
ture chumber, where ho was submitted
to the iuteusest agony which it is pos
sible for human nerves to sustain.
Doubtless many innocent men declared
themselves guilty under this exquisito
torture in order to esenpo tho terrible
agony. Indeed deatli was preferable to
tho torment.
Tho evidence upon which the heretics
were convicted seems to us entirely in
sufficient. ''The presumptive proofs,’
says Prescott, “by which tho clinrge of
Judaism was established against tho ac
cused aro so curious that a few of them
may deservo notice. It was considered
a good evidence of tho fact if t he pris
oner wore bettor clothes or cleaner linen
on tho Jewish Sabbath than on other
days of the week; if ho had no
fire in his houso tho procoding even
ing; if ho sat at table with Jews,
or ato tho meat of animals slaugh
tered by their hands, or drank
certain beverago held in much estima
tion by them; if iio washed a corpso in
warm water, or when dying turned his
face to tho wall; or, finally, if ho gave
Hebrew names to his children—a pro
vision most whimsically cruel, sinco, by
a law of Henry II, ho was prohibited
under severe penalties from giving them
Christian names. Ho must have found
it difficult to extricate himself from the
horns of this dilemma.”
If the accused was found guilty, as ho
usually was, ho was led forth in great
ceremonial state, accompanied by a pro
cession of high ecclesiastics, submitted
to X’evolting insults and iguominiously
burned at tho stako.
While Torquemada was inquisitor
general, a period of eighteen years, ovor
10.000 heretics were burned at tho stake,
nearly 7,000 burnod in effigy and almost
100.000 subjected to heavy and igno
minious penalties. This makes an av-
erago of over (1,000 persons annually.
The inquisition was at first directed
against Jows, but afterward against
heretic Christians themsolves. It con
tinued its awful work through many
generations, and its unfortunate victims
wero numbered by the hundred thou
sand.
The present degradation and degener
acy of Spain is duo to this cause more
than any other. Wherever fetters are
put upon the human mind the race de
cays, shrivels and degenerates. Wher
ever freedom of thought is prohibited a
race of intellectual pygmies must neces
sarily result. Humanity progresses
through tho influence of original minds,
which do not think along tho accepted
lilies of thought. This order of men it
is which leads the world up to ever
higher and higher conceptions, to higher
and higher planes of living. It was this
kind of men that the Spanish inquisi
tion could find no hotter use for than
burning at tho stako.
So all tho noblest thinkers of Spain
were burned, all her original thinkers
were either killed or suppressed and
only commonplace minds, which ac
cepted existing standards without in
vestigation aud without thought, were
spared. It is no wonder that Spain
dropped into an intellectual lethargy
from which she has never revived. The
inquisition was one of tho most colossal
mistakes in all history.—S. Wutterson
Ford in Yankee Blade.

Tarrylnff Pertinent Queries.
While tho method of answering one
question by asking another i3 perhaps
not one to be commended, there are cer
tainly some circumstances under which
it is allowable.
There aro sonic people who delight in
asking personal questions, no matter
how embarrassing and unnecessary they
may be, and who insist upon some sort
of an answer.
A young author, whoso opinion about
people and things in general is con
sidered worth finding out. says lie has
adopted a method of parrying tho dis
concerting questions so often put to him
by almost total strangers, which proves
successful in nearly every instance.
“When a woman lo whom I have just
l>oen introduced at a literary evening
asks mo ‘if 1 really like this sort of en
tertainment’ in a confidential tone,” re
marks th’s much questioned man, "1
always ask her, just us confidentially,
‘Do your’ and she seldom makes any
further inquiries.
“And when a man buttonholes mo in
a secluded corner,.and says: ‘Como now,
as a matter-of fact, do you liko young
Dabster; Do yon think he will ever
Amount to anything?’ 1 look him right
in the eyo nnd say, ‘Do you?’ ninl ho gen
erallv understands what I mean.”
There are somo questions which can
bo better answered in this way than in
any other, for every person has a right
to withhold his own opinion from pry
ing interrogators, who usually huv
nimble tongues and do not scruplo to
use them.—Y T outh's Companion.
Girls and Their Mothers.
It Is hy no means an uncommon oc
currcnco to hour girls complain of tho
partiality that mothers display toward
their sons. It might naturally bo sup
posed that if preference of any kind
should be shown by a mother to her
children tho girls would bo tho favored
ones, beenuse who is better acquainted
with tho many disadvantages, compared
to boy8, under which girls are placed
and also their need for guidance nnd
protection, than a mother horsolf?
Thero is also tho common ground of
sex, which one is apt to think would
draw mothers and girls into closer bonds
of companionship. But how many girls
are in tho happy position of possessing
mothers to whom they can turn in times
of uncertainty, and into whose sympa
thotio ears they can pour without re
straint ninl in absolute confidence all
the joys and troubles, tho hopes and
fears and tho numerous lil tlo affairs in
cidontal to girlhood, and which, if told
at all, must he whispered into tho ears
of one of their own sex?.
That there are many mothers to whom
every secret of a girl's heart can ho un
folded without fear ono does not deny
that there aro many—perhaps more—
mothers to whom their daughters are
literally strangers on such subjects is a
woll known fact.—London Tit-Bits.
Cultivating the Kola Nut.
At Lugos, which is tho great export
center for tho kola nut trade, tho treo is
called tlio “devil bush,” and tho nuts by
n name which signifies “hell seed.” Al
though tho peoploof Lagos earn all their
ready money hy cultivating nnd ship
ping tho kola nut to Bahia and other
places, no truo nativo of tho province
would put ono of them in his mouth for
n thousand worlds. Tho trees aro only
cultivated at a certain time, and the
nuts aro never gathered oxcept at night
during full moon. In fact tho grower
of kola nuts hold their “devil bush" and
its “boll soed” in holy horror.
Scientific experts sent out by tho Brit
ish government to inquire into tho facts
concerning tho tree and its curious fruit
declaro that “tho nut is not injurious,
is unintoxicating, quenches thirst, acts
ns a nutritive, hut is not strictly a
stimulant.” It is a curious and inter
esting botanical product, however.—St.
Louis Republic.
Altering a Grout Painting.
In one of tho principal colleges in
Paris thero was once a picturo showing
Napoleon Bonaparte, attended by sev
eral of his officers, paying a visit to i
plague hospital in Egypt, After hi
death some enterprising artist of Bour
bon tendencies and with no fear of com
mitting anachronisms converted the fig
ure of the “Littlo Corporal" into that of
Christ and transformed the attendant
generals into apostles. By a strange
oversight ho neglected to alter every
portion of the painting, nnd tho Saviour
appeared with a pair of boots such ns
wore worn by tho great general.—De
troit Free Press. ^
Squirrel Hunt*.
Squirrel hunts on tho roundup plan,
after the manner of the jack rabbit
hunts in tho Dakotas, are becoming very
popular in Washington state. A party is
formed and either works as one band or
divides into two sections, the section
bringing in the fewest tails paying a
forfeit of a dinner. At a squirrel hunt
a few days ago in the vicinity of Tekoa
a party of eleven persons brought in
ovor 900 squirrel tails as tho result of
tho day’s sport.—New York Sun.

“My hoy never heard his father
swear,” remarked a Cass avenue lady to
a callor the other day.
“Indeed; how docs that happen?”
“Well, just as soon as lie was old

STARTED BY MAKING PAPER DOLLS.
How a raying ltiislnns* Grew I’p Around
Three Yeung nnd l’rctty Girin.
About toil years ago three girls in tho
interior of this state, brought up in af
fluence, wero suddenly deprived of their
money. It became necessary for them
to earn money, and it suited neither
their tastes nor inclinations to go out of
tlicir homes, nor had they been educated
in any special direction. They hud
skillful hands, however, and with these
they got up paper dolls nnd put them in
Buffalo shops for sale. These inciden
tally cnuie to the notice of a stationer
here, who surprised them with an emis
sary and a proposition to make theso
dolls and give him the exclusive control
of their sale.
Imagine tiio astonishment and bewil
derment of these three housekeeping
girls. They wero, however, persuaded
into tho enterprise, and got together
thirty housekeeping girls liko them
selves, who came to their houso and
helped them. This year they made and
disposed of 8,000 paper dolls. Tho or
ders for tho next year wore larger than
ever nnd had outgrown their homo.
They now engaged offices; tho financial
arrangement their mother took charge
of, and the packing and shipping fell to
tho father. In the midst of all this prep
aration tho firm failed, and they were
left to struggle with discouragements
and vicissitudes, as if they were in tho
great world indeed.
Then came a proposition inoro nston-
isliing than the last, which was to equip
a novelty for mi American bazaar in
tho Cyciorama of Niagara, London,
and to three girls who believed them
selves unknown outside of their homes.
Then came letters and propositions from
here nnd there, and their wonder grew.
But their lingers kept pace, nnd they
found themselves obliged to keep larger
offices, to givo themselves a firm name,
nnd until scarcely realized by them
selves they found themselves swimming
along gayly in the great current of
trade.
Now they added thirty more girls to
their original thirty and to their paper
dolls all sorts of pretty and dainty ar
ticles in paper. Then they bethought
them of giving a reception and showing
what women’s fingers could do in paper.
The youngest of the trio had a pretty
taste in decoration, nnd their Easter
fete, for such it proved to be, gained
such renown that Cleveland begged for
an exhibition of tho same sort, after tho
manner of these two cities, who always
covet one another’s performances, and
thither tho sisters went, taking their
pretty things.
By and hy the paper house from which
they bought their paper wondered who
this, their best customer,'was aud what
ho did with such quantities of colored
papers. This curiosity was carried to
tho point of finding out. Imagine the
firm's surprise. Throo young and protty
-girls, installed in out) of the handsomest
office buildings in tho town, and sur
rounded by sixty more girls liko unto
themselves, were transforming their pa
per into banks of carnations, trailing
vines of purple clematis, masses of peo
nies, jonquils ami tulips, violets and
sweet peas, butterflies with gilded wings,
bonbon and powder pull bags, dressing
table even dressed in paper, and glove
case, sachet powder box, all of paper.
Here was an idea, nnd this firm, whoso
commercial instinct was alert, immedi
ately invited these young women to give
displays of their work at their branch
houses in different cities, and thus they
made visits of triumph to Boston, Phil
adelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee. The
workrooms have grown again and they
now employ from 80 to 100 assistants.
"Mamma is still our business manager,”
writes ono of these in a friendly letter,
“aud we are happy also in having been
of service to so many of our friends,
obliged to earn money as we were, but
with no previous preparation,”—Now
York Bun.

The daisy is everywhere. I have trav
eled somewhat extensively in the Old
World, but have not been lucky enough
to seo it anywhere us prolific-ally happy
ns it is with us. It is not tho daisy of
the poets—the daisy of Burns; which
is not taking to wildhood in our eastern
states, though finding itself at home in
British Columbia, hut a species of chry
santhemum and is distinctively known
iu tho Old W r orld ns tho oxoye daisy.
Like tho buttercup, it is offensive to
cattle, and indeed to almost all things.
In a dry and pulverized condition it is
fly powder, so destructive to ull insects.
In those portions of our country where
Indian corn is a staplo crop, neither tho
buttercup nor tho oxeye daisy are
dreaded by the farmer. The hoe har
rowing destroys it utterly, but in tho
Now England states, where pasture is
of more consequence than grain, they
rob tlie farmer of half his profits while
giving pleasure to the eye of tho trav
eler.—Thomas Meehan in Philadelphia

And a good lamp
SiYA must ’be simple; when it is not simple it is
-'AWnot good. Simple, Beautiful, GW—these
words mean much, but to see “The Rochester”
will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal, ,
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,
n \s absolutely safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s

velous light is purer and brighter than gas light,
softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
