Life in tli I'a.ii* Sewers,
is possible, for a short time to the robust
but the majority, of refined persons
would prefer immediate death to exis
tence in their reeking atmosphere. How
much more revolting to be in one’s self
a living sewer. But this is actually the
case with those in whom the inactivity
of the liver drives the refuse matter of
the body to escape through the lungs,
breath, the pores, kidneys and bladder.
It is astonishing that life remains in such
a dwelling. Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medi
cal Discovery” restores normal purity to
the system and renews the whole being.

Already this session over 3.200 bills
huve been introduced in the House, am*
before Congress adjourns the number w
probably exceed 12,000. The life °f a
bill is varied. Some bills come to be old
veterans and are hardened to service by
long experience. Many of them are al
lowed to shrivel with age. It 18 inter
esting to note the vicissitudes through
which a bill passes. Af* T * r his introduced
it is read by its t*^ 6 the clerk s desk
It is then covered with hieroglyphics in
blue pencil which equal any on the obe
lisk in New York. These marks show its
fate—i. e. to what committeeit is referred.
It is then numbered and registered in
the book in the office of the file clerk and
printed. If it has a full life it is printed
six times. First, when introduced; next,
when reported from the committee; third,
when it passes the House without amend
ment; fourth, when it reaches the Senate;
next, when reported from the Senate
committee, and sixth, when it is finally
passed by the senate (without amend
ment) and becomes a law, if it should
live that long. Finally it is printed in a
permanent form in the statute books.
It passes through the hands of twenty
five people and is abused and cut to
pieces, threatened in the House and sat
down upon in the Senate. This is the
experience of a simple bill.
The appropriation bills suffer still more.
They are first print 'd as estimates, then
as unofficial forms of the bill for the use
of the committee only, then 1 lie bill is
adopted by the committee and printed ;
again when passed by the House. It goes
through the same process in the Senate,
and finally is gobbled up by a conference
committee, and put through a rigid
course of treatment from which it often
expires, if it escapes from the incarcera
tion of a conference committee, it is safe
generally and gets through both houses.
It is thus evident that a bill has to run
the gauntlet of scrutiny many times be
fore it is signed by the President. Many
bills often die upon the threshold of the
White House, when their chance for life
seemed the most secure. Like a police
man's life, the life of a bill is not a happy
one.
“Her face so fair, as flesh it se-med not,
Rut heavenly portrait of bright antrel’s hue,
Clear as the sk’ , without a blame or blot,
Through goodly mixture of complexions dim.
And in her cheeks the vermeil red did show.”
This is the poet’s description of a
woman whose physicial system was in a
perfectly sound and healthy state, with
every function aetingproperly, and is the
enviable condition of its fair patrons

cription.” Any druggist.
Tea I'riukiner in Russia
In Russia tea is drunk as beer is in
Germany or wine in Fiance. It may be
called the national beverage, and there
are especial saloons or restaurants all
about, both here and in St. Petersburg,
for tea drinkers, both rich and poor.
The truly Russian restaurant is very
different from the European ones. Tim
waiters are all attired in white from head
to foot,. will) a large black purse at the
waist, and are always all men. There is
generally a large barrel organ, which
gives out the latest airs. It is wonderful
how much tea a Russian will drink. The
writer entered one morning one of these
restaurants with a young Russian. Tea
was ordered and one glass followed
another with the Russian until he had
drank seven. ITe said he had often
drank eleven and that fifteen were not
too many for ail old hand. The tea is
drunk alone, or with lemon and the
sugar eaten from the hand. A peculiar
kind of bread or roll is eaten with it. —

one .f The fiieatest Mysteries
Of the many mysteries which baffle the
analyses of S<-i**ncc, is the law ot herditv
govoiing the transmission ot mental ami
physical characteristics from one genera
tion to another. In no instance is this
strange law moreemphatically illustrated
than in the generic jmrjH*tuation ot dis
eases. Of all the hereditary blood dis
eases. 'inn** is more com moil than Scrof
ula. This widely prevalent disease has
hitherto been considered incurable, but
since the introduction of 8. 8. S., nature’s
own antidote for diseased blood, these
scrofulous afflictions have lost their
worst features —their alleged incurability.
The fact is established that the severest
form of Scrofula can be cured by this
remarkable remedy. The fact is verified
by hundreds of incontestable proofs. Ihe
following testimony is a striking exhibi
tion of this fact. It cannot fail to im
press the minds of parents who may
have children troubled with dangerous

popular and well-known citizen of Dooly
county. He particularly requests the
publication of his letter, so that other
families, similarly afflicted, may learn,
through his experience, how they can pro

permanently cure and eradicate heredi
tary Scrofula.

The Swift Spec tic Cos., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen.—Three or four years ago,
my little daughter, six years of age, had
very ugly hoi s, which, very soon after
their appearance, terminated in running
sores, all over her head and face. 1 tried
all the known remedies —salves, healing
washes, etc., blit none seemed to do any
good. Her scalp was in a bad condition,
indeed. Finally, I sent her to Atlanta to
have her examined, for I had become very
uneasy about her. The doctors who ex
amined her said she was badly afflicted
with Scrofula. About the same time my
little son, aged four years, broke out all
over the head and face with the same dis
ease, and for weeks he could not lie down
to sleep without suffering great torture.
His head was a solid mass of sores.
I began to use S. S. S. as soon as I was
satisfied about the nature of the disease,
and continued to use it until all signs of
the disease had disappeared. It is now
going on three years since I have seen
any signs of the disease breaking out.
Today they are as healthy looking chil
dren as can be found in the county. Be
fore they began the use of 8 S. 8. they
were frail in constitution, but now they
look strong and healthy. I did not give
them any other kind of medicine to aid
the 8. 8. 8., but relied entirely on it, as I
had seen some cases (and bad ones, too,)
of blood poisoning cured in my neighbor
hood by the 8. 8. S.
Every parent has within reach a cheap
and positive cure for their children, af
flicted as mine were, and all they have to
do is to give it a fair trial, and a cure is
certain. You are at liberty to use this
letter so that parents may know how my
little children, were cured of ther trouble
some disease. God knows it has lifted a
heavy load from my mind, as their af
fliction greatly troubled me.

No paper can be published without
home patronage, says a discriminating
exchange, and every man is interested in
keeping up a home paper. If a railroad

expected to work for it. If a public

paper is called on for a free notice. If
the charitable societies have a social or
supper of any kind, the newspaper is
always expected to give all the necessary
notices and then puff it after it is over.
The newspaper must puff the school and
do everything else to advance the inter

then give them a handsome notice when
they go to heaven. And yet some of
them do nothing to keep up a paper.
