It is said that Mary Anderson, the actress, is to marry an English nobleman. She would, perhaps, fare better if she were to marry an American who is a noble man. A Dakota paper has an article on “Janies Russell,” whom it calls “a Lowell, Mass., crank who thinks he is bigger than Shakes peare.” Now are the reporters revenged. The beautiful flowers which abound in Savannah were put to tender and holy use yesterday by the hands of t hose who still ihave sufficient love for the Old South not to forget the heroic dead. In New York the latest phase of anglo maiiia is the importation from London of the wedding cake for a fashionable mar riage. If the sea voyage takes the night mare out of the cake there will be at least one excuse for anglomania. Senator Vest thinks that Capt. Eads' ship tail way scheme died with him. Some of the stoekliplders do not agree with the Sena tor. They are soon to hold a conference, and it will then bo decided whether the en terprise shall be pushed to completion or dropped. Senator Sherman thinks that the Southern “boom” depends upon coal and iron. He is not altogether right. The Southern ‘‘boom” depends upon more than coal and iron. Ag ricultural products must be taken into ac count, and, above everything else, the pluck of the people must be considered. A religious paper objects to Sam Jones’ joining the Salvation Army. "Think of tho great evangelist arrayed in blue cloth and red trimmings!” it exclaims. Then it mourn fully ejaculates: “He’ll not be in the Army a month liefore tho secular press will bo Balling him a ‘religious policeman.’” The New- York Sun thinks that the great est enterprise now in sight is tho draining of the City of Mexico. The people of this country are engaged in a drainage enterprise that is greater than the one the Sun (mints out. They are trying to drain the beer kegs and whisky barrels of the country, but there is not much prospect of their finish ing the job soon. Joshua Baker, a Mormon elder, arrived in Chicago the other day, accompanied by three wives und eight children. He was on his way to Alabama to preach his creed, but the hard-hearted Chicago jiolico thought he 4iad too man} - wives and so they arrested him on the charge of bigamy and lockinl him up. He doubtless wishes he had left his family at home. Capt. J. M. Levy, of the Post Office De partment at Washington, has liecn fasting four weeks, and expects to continue until he equals Dr. Tanner’s famous fast. He drinks a pint and a half of water a day and takes three teaspoonfuls of a certain elixir. He has lost about thirty-five pounds of flesh. What makes the Captain’s feat of unusual tetiraat is the fact that he atteuds to his duties regularly and that his health appears So be improving. A New York insurance official says that, he believes the insurance companies have lost $500,000 since Anarchist Most lgan his infamous lectures on how to destroy prop erty and rob the rich. The number of fires charged to unknown causes has largely increased, und it is believed that the "un known causes” in most instances were Most’s disciples. Most ought to lie jailed. He abuses the liberty allowed him in this coun try, and heought to be made to suffer for it. Rev. Father Braun, of Brooklyn, has made a discovery. He said vv hile preaching last Hunday that Eve was a tramp. Fol lowing up the announcement of his discov ery, he said that tho world had endured a vast deal of trouble on account of Eve and the women who had lived since her day. He intimated thnt women were iu leugue with the individual who tempted Eve. The good man has, perhaps, had some trouble with the fair sex, or it may be that his washerwoman neglected to darn his stock ings. At Burlington, N. J., tho other day, a targe audience assembled at Birch’s Opera House to hear Joseph English lecture on temperance. English wanted some music, and pointing to a pimio. asked Birch it he could find somebody to play on “thnt nw chine.” Birch was offended by the disri- allusion to his piano and ordered English out of the house.

There is one part of the eloquent address I which Secretary Lamar delivered at Charles | ton yesterday which will attract a great ! deal of attention, and, perhaps, excite some comment. The part is that in which Mr. Calhoun's belief in civil service reform and his regard for pledges made to the people are pointed out. 1 Mr. Calhoun was not ari advocate of the spoils system. Ho saw the great danger of it, and, as he was a patriot and a states man, ho opposed it. When he had the dis posal of patronage, as the chief of one of the great departments of the government, he made no removals except for cause, and he lost no opportunity to condemn the prac-, tiee of using the offices for political pur poses or for rewarding political or personal friends. Those who think that pledges which par lies or public men make should not be kept, if it is not convenient to do so, should read carefully that part of one of Mr. Calhoun’s speeches with regard to them which Mr. La mar quoted. Mr. Calhoun was too great and too good a man to play the part of a demagogue. There were small but noisy politicians in his day as well as at the pres ent time, but they received no recognition from him. Sincere and earnest, aiming al ways to promote the welfare of the whole country he had no sympathy with political cunning, chicanery or deception of an y sort. A promise to the people was in his estimation as sacred as a promise to a personal friend, and he would as soon have violated one as the other. Mr. Lamar took occasion to say that the only things for which the President has been criticised and abused are those which had i the approval of Mr. Calhoun. The Presi dent is a believer in civil service reform, and has sincerely tried to enforce the civil ser vice law. He has not desired to keep his po litical enemies in office nor wished to with hold any rewards from political friends. He lias realized, however, that the spoils sys tem, besides filling the civil service with un fit anil incompetent men and women, threat ens the country with a very grave danger. He may not be a very thorough student of the political history of the country, and may not know what Mr. Calhoun's views respecting the spoils system were, but his common sense tolls him that it is a bad and dangerous system. He feels that he could do the country no greater service than to do his part toward abolishing it. He under stood, of course, when he announced his civil service policy that ho would lie assailed, and even ridiculed, by men in his own party, and that it would require great courage to carry it out. Ho felt equal to the task, however, and tho people applaud him for what he has done. No one can say that he has not done his part to keep faith with the people. * When the history of his administration is written there will be no broken pledges to record. While he may not fill as large a place in history ass Mr. Calhoun does, he will lie ad mired for some of the most distinguished virtues which cause the memory of that grant statesman to lie honored. Mr. Lamar did wisely in pointing out that Mr. Calhoun was an ardent civil service re former and that ho regarded pledges made to the people as sacred. ‘ Some of the Demo cratic politicians who have been finding fault with the President on account of these same things may be surprised to find that he Is acting in harmony with tho teaching of one of the greatest and purest of the leaders of the Democratic party. A Central American Union. There apjx’ars to be some ground for the report that a union of the Central American States is about to be accomplished. There are movements in that direction which are exciting attention. The consolidation of the four States has been discussed by Central American statesmen for a long time, but up to the present no satisfactory basis for a union has been discovered. Two years ago Barrios, President of Guatemala, concluded that he would force a union. He thought he would be supported by Zalvidar, President of Salvador. He had some sort of an understanding with him, but when he was about ready to carry out his scheme Zalvidar hesitated, and finally declined to become the ally of Guatemala, Costa Rica and Nicaragua also protested against Barrios’ scheme. Barrios lost his temper aud began a war upon Salvador. In the first battle lie lost his life. That ended the consolidation business for the time be ing. Barrios’ widow, young, handsome and rich, is now a favorite in New York society. The mum reason, it is believed, why Bar rios’ scheme was not acceptable to the other three States was that they feat o 1 that he wanted to make himself dictator of the whole of Central America. There is no fear of Barrios now, and no one appears to be striving to make himself dictator. It is not improbable, therefore, that a union may lie agreed upon. There will be no opposition by the United States to a union, but this government would hardly (leriiiit, without interference, an uttempt to bring about a consolidation by force of arms. Mexico op posed Barrios’ scheme, however, and might oppose any effort to form u union peace fully. If the Chattanooga Times is correct, the Standard Oil Company owned the last Legislature of Tennessee. A bill passed by that body levies a revenue tax of SI,OOO upon jobbers of illuminating oils in all Tennessee cities of more than 10,000 in habitants. The Times charges that the hill was secretly passed, und thaEt the Standard Oil Company resorted to bribery to secure votes for it. So it seems that General Master Work man Powderly means to try the boycott on labor journals that dare to criticise him# The eternal fitness of things suggests that he ought to change his title to General Master Dictator. The father of Mink Crocker, the rich New York girl who Is soon to get married, has given her a check for $1,000,000.

The Boss of the Boodletnen. According to our dispatches, Mr. Jake Sharp, the man who is alleged to have fur nished the money to bribe the boodle Aider men in New York, was not ready for trial when his ease was called on Monday. Ho will have to be ready on May 11, however, or show most excellent reasons why he isn’t. The trial of Mr. Sharp is looked forward to in New York with interest. There ap pears to be a very great desire there to have him serve a term in Sing Sing. Ho is shrewd and rich, and, if reports of his doings are correct, he is a very bad man. Tho belief is that ho has been a bad man for a good many years, and has done more than any other person to oomipt Aldermen and legislators. If he couldn't get what l;e wanted from the city or State by asking for it, his plan was, it Is said, to buy it. He seems to have had no trouble to find Aldermen and legislators who were willing to be bought. The price which some of them asked, however, was pretty High. There has been a good deal of delay in bringing Mr. Sharp to trial, hut it is proba ble that the District Attorney has good rea sons for the course he is pursuing. He may have lacked the necessary evidence, or he may have expected that Mr. Sharp would have become a witness for the State, and furnish the evidence necessary to convict all the boodlemen. The trial is close at hand now, however, and some sensational devel opments may be looked for. CURRENT COMMENT. Arbor Day. From the New York Times (Rep.) Arbor day is coming by degrees in some parts of the country to be as scrupulously observed as that of Decoration day. Us institution was a happy thought, and it is impossible to esti mate the comfort, pleasure, health and wealth which might already be traced to it. Cleveland and a Second Term. From the Nashville Union (Dent.) The whole story is actually laughable; that the President should make known his purpose to countermand the work of bis friends m every part of the United States, and practically turn the wheel of fortune hack on the Democratic party through two fellows who are not willing to give their names, is supremely ridiculous. Mr. Watterson’s Mistake. fVom the Galveston News (Deni.) Mr. Watterson says the President has from the first had a genuine distrust of the party t hat elected him. The trouble is that, Mr. Watterson confounds the party w.th the politicians. The President doubtless does entertain feelings of distrust toward the politicians as a mass, and therein is t lie secret of his having so well suc ceeded in pleasing the great body of his party. Words of Praise. From the Atlanta Journal. The Savannah News, one of the best newspa pers in the South, shows gratifying evidences of prosperity in donning recently an entire new dress of minion and nonpareil, making it one of the handsomest papers, typographically speak ing, to be found in the South. No paper is a more welcome visitor to the Journal office than the News, its fairness, modesty and intelligent comprehension making it a valuable guide. The Journal most cordially extends its congratula tions, with Hit! hope that the News may long continue its prosperous course. BRIGHT BITS.

What Camo of Words Betw-eon an Art Critic and a Scudpt° r - Prom the Sere York Herald. “I bite my thumb at you. sir.” “You dare bite your thumb at mo, sir!” “Ilic, I do.” “Sit down and chew cloves.” Language like this -bitfer, galling words like these—were heard in the hr >ad hall of the Lotos Club not long ago. Every liveried servitor in tho establishment, where artists solid with the treasurer love to congregate, knew that each panicuiar hair stood <>n end as these words were hissed upon that eventful evening. Be cause really it was not “clubby.” \\ n *n sculptors and critics fall out there is apt to be a muss. Some proud statue of human clay is apt to be dashed and shattered on the ground. Gut of its noble line of thespians, critics, au thors, journalists, stock brokers, men about town and merchants, the Lotos has lost a “prominent figure." They lost him by bounc ing him. “ ’Tis true, ‘tis pity, and pity ‘Lis ‘tig true.” The “tiff” was in the case of Mr. Romeo Mon tague and Mr. Tybalt Capulet, both of Verona, between a Montague and a well, a Capulet. This Mr. Montague, whose surname is Marks, is an art critic, and Mi*. Capulet, <one who doth moisten clay with—oh. yes, with water—a priest at the shrine of art. They fell out. Why they fell out aud how they fell out Is unimportant. They fell out, and more is the pity of it. The fiery moistener of clay, the maker of graven images, which the said Montague did not fall down and worship, stepped upon a lotos l*af on the tiled lloor, and, slipping, jostled Monty. The art critic goaded the sculptor to madness by reminding him he was not plumb; that he was off the perixiiidiclar. Now, there are some tilings a man won't stand, and one of them is being told that he is wabbling on his base. So. with, a tine, sarcastic smile, Capulet said: "What, ho! Proud Hebrew !" After a pause he made a fine oratorical flourish w ith his right arm, und continued: “He is an art critic, and thinks he knows too much to talk of art. Ila, ha! He, he!” For almost all of this Montague would have forgiven him for the love he bore his mistress, Art; but the “ila, ha! He. he!" was maddening. It is a terrible thing for a proud man to hear an adversary say, “Ha, ha! lie, he!” And that is the way the row began. nontague gathered up his mantle and brushed the venomous sculptor aside. Mark Mark's contempt. The priest at the altar of art shook violently with emotion, and remarked, in a stage whisper, that he, was inclined “to mop the door with aim.” But a.s Montague is a man of goodly size, six feet high, with an arm sug gestive of dallying with a smithy's heavy ham mer, Capulet* in pity simply “cussed.” And thereon hangs a tale. So it is said that Mon tague Marks became the bouncer and Capulet the bouncti-ee. Order is restored in the halls of the Lotos Club, and every servitor's particular hairs join others in slick slaps or capillary tendrils. No pistols have, been used and there has been no run on coffee. Where He Drew the Line. Harper's Magazine for May. One afternoon a half-drunken fellow’ got on one of the Louisville and Nashville sleeping-cars bound North. When the conductor showed him to his seat he found a clean, well-dressed, gen tlemanly-looking colored man to be his partner in that section and occupying a seat facing his. He at once began in a drunken fashion to abuse the negro, accusing him of trying to “set up for white folks,” dt-ing the dude act in charcoal, etc., and finally got up from his seat, declaring that he'd,“be d——d it he’d set thar aud be out done by a blasted nigger in a high silk hat.” The conductor, t o keep the pence arid prevent any disturbance in his car, led the indignant i*tt.ron of old Kentucky bourbon to a seat in another-part of the car. Next morning the lriuiken man. who was not a bad fellow at heart, had sobered up considerably, and, with some remembrance of his previous misconduct, went over to the colored man's seat and com menced to apologize by saying he had been “a little off his base" the* evening before, and did not mean any harm by anything he, might have said: that he hadn’t anything against the "nig gers," and was always their friend when they behaved themselves. So he hoped the stranger would see that in anything that had passed he had meant no personal offense to him. "That is all right, sir,” said the colored man, with po lil.mess. "1 saw your condition at once, and of course, under the circumstances, did not con sider you responsible for your acts at that time. Your apology this morning makes the amende honorable. Allow me'—at the same i ime offer ing his card to his former persecutor. The drunken fellow drew hack as if he had been shot. “Look a-here, Mr. Nigger,” ho cried, in great excitement, "1 had made up my mind to stand trie cut-away coat and the stove-pipe hat. but i'll be denied it' I can stand a nigger with a kyard!” “He’s a Brick.” From the Working Binj. Very few of the many thousands who use the above slanj; term know its origin, or its primi tive signifleanot!, according to which it is a grand thing to say of a man, "He's a brick." The word used in its original intent implies ail that is brave, patriotic and loyal. Plutarch, in liis life of Agesilaus, King of Sparta, gives us the meaning of the quaint and familiar expression. On a certain occasion an Ambassador from Epirus, on a diplomatic mission, was shown hy the King over his capital. The Ambassador knew of the monarch’s fame— knew that though nominally only King of Sparta, he was ruler of t.reeee—and lie had looked to see massive walla rearing aloft their embattled towers for the de fense of the city. But to his surprise he saw nothing of the kind. He marveled much at this, and let spoke of it to the King. "Sire." said he, "X have visited most of the' principal towns, and find no walla reared for de fense. Why is this?” " Indeed, sir Ambassador," replied Agesilaus, "thou oaust not have looked carefully. Come with me on to-morrow morning and X will show you the walls of Sparta.” Accordingly, upon (Hie following morning, the King led his guest out upon the plain where, his army was drawn up in full array, and pointing proudly to the patriot host he said: “There thou beholdest tho walls of Sparta -10,000 men and every man a brick." Frank Gould’s Honey. From the New York Sun. Jay Gould's son Frank accompanied five (Y -lumbia College students, who were arrested for street t.. ■alienee at night, to the Fifty-first street police station, whore they asked release on bail, and Police Justice Smith was summoned to take it. Ife demanded Jig.*) for each. Y<mug Gould at once ran home and got $l,OOO in cash, which he offered to the magistrate as i,nil.fur his fellow students in bondage. ’Squire Smith said that he couldn't take the money, and asked Gould if he didn't have some real estate. "Oil. yes," replied the lad, naming a hloek of buildings worth several hundreds of thousands. “Will you swear to that "Tite lad took oath, and another student cor roborated Ids claim to being a soldi red estate man.

Out of thirteen samples of “Toilet Cream,” warranted to beautify the complexion, analyzed by a Washington chemist, everv one contained stuff certain to ruin the face after a year's use. and some of them were highly poisonous. Daniel Miller, who recently died in Chequert township, la., at the advanced age of 102 years 8 months, was the father of ten children, the grandfather of seventy-one, the great-grand father of 155, and the great-great-grandfather of three. In Bulgaria a journal is published in almost every town and viiliage where there is a printing office, only all the papers contain the same matter and differ only in their titles. Before the proclamation of the Principality there were forty eight Bulgarian gazettes: since the libera tion'the number has risen to eighty-five. Queen Victoria's jubilee is also that of telegraphy, the first patent for an electric tele graph having been issued June 20. 1887—a week before the Queen's accession to Cook and Wheatstone. British electricians propose to celebrate with an exhibition illustrating the de velopment of telegraphy and telephony. The Boston Budget tells of a little fellow who went out in the yard the other day and began digging with his miniature spade. While so en gaged he came across a worm, and while watch ing its, to him, strange motions, called out: “Auntie, what is tliatt That, my dear," came the reply, “is an angle worm.” “Dood ness! see him angle,'* was the succeeding child ish comment. An extraordinary accident is reported from the neighborhood of Maidenstone, Eng. A lad, 8 years of age, was flying a kite, when he step ped backward into a forty feet quarry to the greed imrror of the bystanders. Fortunately for the little fellow, the string of the kite was tied around his waist, and the kite, acting as a para chute, effectually broke the violence of the fall and lie was only slightly bruised. In a barber's shop in New York is a shaving cup bearing the name of P. T. Barnum. He used to get shaved in Tom Higginson’s shop as far back as thirty years ago, but it is some time since he has used that cup. That was the shop in which he bought an Irishman's turn in the chair, saying he would pay his bill, and Tom Higginsoh not only shaved the man. but sham pooed him, curled his hair, dyed his beard, gave him a bath and ran up a bill of several dollars for Barnum to pay. The shortest reigning monarch is the Emperor of China, who is only 5 feet high. Empercdf- William, of Germany, is the tallest, being just 0 feet in height. Prince Albert, of German v. nephew of the Emperor, is 6 feet C inches high, and the Emperor of Russia is 5 feet 11 inches. The tallest man among Easter ll nations is Chang, the Chinese giant, who is 7 feet 8 inches high. The tallest European is Winckelmeier. a young Austrian, who measures 8 feet 9 inches in stature. Pursuing its usual campaign of abuse agair.st the royal family of England, the Pall Mall Ga zette lately paraded the announcement that dur ing his visit to Hungary, year before last, the Prince of Wales won at cards one evening at Buda-Pestb nearly $98,000. and another evening about $30,000 more. Of course this set the Ga zette's readers a-bowling against "evil in high places.” Asa matter of fact, however, the Prince did not play a single game nor win nor lose a single penny during his entire stay in Hungary. The lucidity of many English ideas concerning America is beautifully apparent in an item in the Queen , London, of recent date, which de clares that “Miss Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, who was noted for her great wealth and practi cal benevolence, died at Philadelphia on April 4, at her residence in Madison avenue, New York, age 60 years. She recently made overby deed her large residence in Lafayette place for a ‘Bishops* Club,' in which clergymen of the Epis copal church could enjoy temporary entertain ment when visiting New York.” The committee of the Presbyterian church of England are preparing a revision of the Con fession of Faith, to be submitted at the coming meeting of the Synod. It is reported that the changes recommended will amount to a recon struction of the creed, and will Ik* sure to lead to profound agitation among the Presbyterians throughout the world. A similar movement for the revision of tlie standards ol* the Free Church of Scotland has been postponed, to be resumed after the English Synod has finished its de liberations upon the committee's report. Ex-Gov. Smith, of Vermont, relates the fol lowing: He was contemporary with John G. Saxe in their early law practice in St. Albans. As usual on court days in the evening the "bar” was numerously represented on the hotel piaz zas. Oil one evening Smith was about explain ing to a friend the merits of a ease he had on the calendar relating to a contract for wooden water pipes, known as “pump-logs,” which involved t‘ie size of the auger used in boring them, when Saxe interrupted him with: "1 say, Smith, your story augurs a bore.” Peals <d laughter followed, and the poet’s wit as usual became the centre of attraction. A German official has been recommending the extensive planting of basket willows on the slopes of railway embankments and evacua tions, and particularly where the soil is loose. These willows have lx*cn tried on one of the principal railways of Prussia and have answer ed admirably. A j*erfect network is made by the roots, which binds the whole surface firmly, the thick green growth transforming the raw and ghastly gashes in the earth int<* a beautifi 1 thicket. The men who take care of and wut* h the track cun easily care for the willows, yvhicu grow readily iu dry as well as wet soil, if it is a little loose, and where there is market for basket material the growth can le profitable. E. A. Abbey is said to make between $15,000 ! and $20,000 a year. Ills drawings for “She ! Stoops to Conquer” arc valued at about S2O,(XX). iHe is as well liked in England as here, and ex ! poets to make that country his home. He is [ building a fine house there. C. S. Reinhart ' makes about SIO,(KM) a year. Thure de Thul strup, who is under contract to furnish a page or double page to Harper's Weekly every uoek, is earning about slo,ouoa year with his pencil. Charles J. Taylor, of Puck and Harper's* is making SB,(XX) a year. A. R Frost, who got a fortune with, as well as in his wife, makes $B,OOO a year, but he lias a separate income of :*40.000 a year. Harry Penn, a pupil of Birkot Foster, probably earns $lO,OOO now by general work, and so does Alfred Parsons. President McCosh prints the report of a couple of Princeton students who have been canvassing the colleges and semi naries of the country for the names of students willing and deuirouk to Ixs foreign missionaries. This is his summary: The number of institutions which littvt been heard from is I*2. In these no fewer than 1,525 students have offered them selves. Of these, upward >1 1,*200 are young men, and upward of 300 arc young women. A few of them are from upper schorls, but the great body of them arc from regularly consti tuted seminaries and colleges. They belong to the various evangelical denominations. These volunteers include 24 from Amherst; Williams, 10: Andover, ! 1: Harvard, it; Cornell, 35; Ober bn, lio, and Princeton seminary and college, 4i.

Their Universal Prevalence, Dangerous Character and How They Live and are Killed. The Gel-mans consume large amounts of uncooked po*'k, and often get living animals called trichina* into their blood,which cause the most terrible death. Americans draw in the germs of disease and death with every breath. Malaria, miasma, sower gas and the thousand poisons in tire air, in food and in water are at war with health mid life all the while. The blood that circulates in hu man veins is composed of numbers of small corpuscles that resemble animals, and when anything poisonous gets into the blood it becomes just Like stagnant water, full of living animals that feed upon each other and upon the blood itself. And yet uo one person in fifty is free from blood poisoning in some form. Every moment of the life, whether awake or asleep, a million poison ous animals, invisible to the naked eye, are feeding upon the very elements that make and sustain life. These are facts -they are solemn truths — and they demand the most serious attention. These germs must be lulled: they must be annihilated. Hut how? Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue Hospital College, New York, says: “The judicious use of alcoholic stimu lants is one of the striking characteristics of progress in the practice of medicine dur ing the last half century,” while Dr. J. I\ Gilbert, of Lyons, N. Y., says: “From my experience in the treatment of chronic dis eases of a wasting and debilitating nature I have frequently found it necessary to advise the use of stimulants, and in my opinion Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey for purity and other desirable qualities cannot be surpassed for such purposes. Its action seems to be that of a pure stimulant, with none of the inebriating effects which are too often found in so-called medicinal whiskeys.” When we consider tho terrible amount of poison that is in the blood, and the misery and death it is causing, and when we realize that all its germs can all be driven out by a stimulant (not intoxicant) like Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, we have cause for thankful ness that modern science is doing so much for mankind in removing disease, destroy ing its cause and bringing health and happi ness instead of misery and death. Most of the leading people of the land are realizing the value of this Whiskey, and many whose prejudices have heretofore kept them en tirely from the use of spirits are seeing its pure and valuable qualities in warding off diseases, and use it regularly in their homes. ‘DUFFY’S PURE MALT WHISKEY Is Sold Only in Bottles.

QUIXI FOR MPL ASTER. ENORMOUS CONSUMPTION OF" QUiNIIIE. Quinine, Belladonna and Capsicum, Favorite Remedies among Physicians. G. 000,000 ounces cl' Quinine are consumed annually. No other remedy known to physicians is used to the same extent, though Belladonna and Capsicum are prime favorites among physicians. Qululform is a substitute for Quinine, having all the remedial virtues of Quinine, without its disagreeable and dangerous effects, and ©Qulniform Plaster is a happy combination of Qulhiform, Belladonna and Capsicum, With other ingredients, and is, as common sense would In dicate, a much higher grude of plaster than tho public has hitherto I. known. The Malaria or Agis Si™ h In- and tonic fcbk Watkb. virtue of Qulniform, and the pam-killing action of Its other Ingre dients, are applied to the system through the pores of the skin. Qulniform Plaster 13 a phenomenal pain-relieving and curative remedy.
