F> * it" The explosion of a bomb is not more, sudden or unlocked for than the attack of some malignant disease which would not occur were the blood in order. To impure blood is due a great variety of ills that make life a burden. All the year round, you may rely Upon Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery to purify the blood and invigorate the system. It’s not like the sarsaparillas, that are said to bo good for the blood in March, April and May. The “Discovery ” works equally well at all times, and in all cases of blood-taints, or humors, no matter what their name or nature. It’s the cheapest blood-purifier, sold through druggists, because you only pay for the good yon get. Your money is returned if it doesn’t benefit or cure you. Can you ask more? “Is life worth living?” “That depends on tho liver.” Dr. Pierce’s Pellets are the best Liver Pills. W Old Nick Whiskey is the best and is noted for its age and purity, having been made on the same plantation over 12& years without a rival as we constantly keep four year old RYE AND CORN on hand—ship any quantity, so write for price-list.

WONDERFUL TROUSERS. T»ey Not On IT Old Not ll.g, b.t Made • Crack Gypinast of the Weerer. I am somewhat of an athlete, and am in tho habit of performing various exer cises when I have nothing else to do, and vet held a position where it is important that I should present a gentlemanly ap pearance. The problem of how to prevent trous ers from bagging has for a long time re curred to my mind and pressed for solu tion. I have tried the various devices advertised for core or for prevention. 1 have consulted my fashionable friends, and even the tailors, fondly hoping they could be induced to give themselves away. Some of tny friends have solved the problem by banging up in their ward* robes 1,085 pairs of trousers, which ina- nenver enables them to put on a fresh |iair morning, noon nod night. Now, my friends and employers esti mate my brain power and business qual ifications very nearly as highly as I do. Unfortunately, they do not atsribute to them- a very high exchangeable cash value. The important thing, tfierefore, for me seemed to lie to discover a way of mak ing one pair of trousers last 365 days without baggiug. Fortunately, 1 have a practical knowl edge of mechanics, and am of an invent ive tnrn of mind. I have spent the sav ings of all my past life in patenting car couplers, motors a la Keely, and flying machines which very nearly succeeded in flying. My neewauty hatched a new invention. I went to one of the most skillful and artistic tailor, on the Bowery and told him what 1 wanted, and at the same time warned him that I had a patent on my idea. My idea was to get some of tho cement which enables a broken plate to support a ton of cobble 6toncs and a sheet of tho genuine, old fashioned gum—such as the old fashioned gum shoes were made of— and paste hack of the knee an oblong piece, wide enough and long enough to cover all that part of the trousers which generally bags. The tailor entered into my idea enthusiastically. He offered to buy the patent outright for twenty dol lars, and to give mo a royalty of five cents a pair on tho first hundred pairs which should be sold. I refused his mag nanimous offer, and am’ “holding for a rise.” He thought that if a little elasticity was a good thing n great deal more would he better. I think must have pasted inside those trousers the soles of his grandmother’s gum shoes. The first time I went out with those trousers on strangers accosted me, and Baid they should not have known that 1 ha<l no legs from my walk. if they had not been informed that I was a Grand Army mail and had had both legs shot off at the battle of Antietam. The cause of their delusion was that as I lifted each foot from the ground the leg from the knee suddenly snapped forward. On the way home from business 1 went into the M. A. C. gymnasium. I had no thqe to put on mygymnariom tights,%nd contented myself with taking off coat, yest, collar and cuffs. I started ia for a run. My friends and the director thought 1 showed poor judgment in starting at such a pace. Sotno of tho crack runners were ou the track, and at the outset I al most equaled their fastest spurts. , ’ But, great Scott, how they were dum- founded when I spurted! They said 1 got around the track at such a rate «f speed that 1 was only visible as a con tinnoas curve, diabolic rather than para bolic. I felt that* if I ran my fustest again I should need a podomefer with an air brake attachment. The swift way in which my feet glided forward an<k tho extent of their reach were especially ad mired. A crack oarsman's “recovery,” they said, was nobbing in comparison. I jumped the high jump. In fact, if ^ stooped down suddenly. I felt obliged to jump up straight into the air several feet. 1 broke the records an A left the pieces fur behind me in “high” and broad” jumping, i smashed the lifting machine,'and in short did nstonishing feats in all that grade of work wheqp the action of the knees conies into play. I was heralded far and wide os a new and marvelous sprinter and jumper. Aud, best of all, my trousers now never bog. They keep their virgiu form as long as they hold together.—New York Herald. How He Got Off. One night Drown came home very late and found his wife evidently prepared to administer a Candle lecture. Instead of going to bed he took a seat, and rest ing his elbows on his knees, seemed ab sorbed in grief, sighing heavily and ut tering such exclamations os “Poor Sbiitb, poor fellowr Mrs. Brown# moved by curiosity, said shapply, “What’s the matter with Smith?' v ’ , , “Ah,” said Brown, “his wife is giving him fits just now.” Mrs. Brown let her husband off that time.—Exchange. • Reptile* With 2,000 Teeth. Many herbivorons reptiles of the ffieeo. zoic period had enormously long hind legs, on which they were able to wade far oat into the deep water otter sea weeds' and other food. These creatures were par-' ticnlarly extraordinary in point of their dental equipment, Inasmuch ns each of them bad about 2,000 grinders to chew with,,arranged in magazines ot 500 each like cartridges.—Interview iu Washing ton Star. . The Points of a Boarhuund. The b&rhound is, like many other dogs, of high temper and courage, but ■ [met whsn its natural game ia out of view. It is obedient enough when prop, eriy,trained, but haa unflinching courage,. and when attacked docs not know whsn It. ia beaten. It is not a dog to keep in town.—English Mechanic. , Hat a Warning. “Your time js, up,” remarked the oo» tafetor to the sexton, having jnst 'fin ished fitting tho church steeple with a brand new dock;—American Grocer. ■ The WHIP Donee. Indians frequently, after engaging in the whip dance, vow that they will never more submit to the ordeal, and mutually assure each other that their skins have been made to suffer for the last time. Bat an irresistible longing soon seizes them to again realize tho fearful joy of indulging in the "sport,” and the result is that the dance continues as fashion able as ever. The young men of the tribe then, having put on all the finery they are able to master, arm themselves with the terrible maquarri—a peculiar whip from which the dance derives its name. This whip is about five feet in length and is manufactured of a strong grass fiber native to tho district, bound around spirally with a strip of thip cane. In the hands of a mnsenjar Warau it is capable of inflicting a wound very little less severe than that which would be produced by tiio downward blow of a knife. When the dance is about to commence the performers range themselves opposite one another, waving their whips iu the air and giving utterance to cries resem bling tlie notes of birds. Suddenly out of them stops, and poising himself on one leg stretches out tho other, remain ing perfectly motionless. The other stops.’too. measures the distance care fully with his eye, springs higlt in tlie air to give force to the blow, and, wish! doyn comes the heavy whip with a fearful smack upon his opponent’s out stretched limb, and a red gash marks whore the keen thong has curled round hiB calf or ankle. The recipient of the blow utters never a sound, but, smiling ns chcerfally as possible under the circumstances, again takes up the dance until it is the turn of the other player to # stand still and re ceive his pnnishraent, which, we may depend upon it, is usually returned with as good ii will as it was given,—San Francisco Examiner. Smile Rare Old lu.trumenU. Mr. Hteinert, of this pity, has addod to liiyarc- collection of musical Instru ments a viola de Gamba, which is prob ably tho only ono in playable condition in this country.- It is in excellent pres ervation, aud its present owner thinks that *110110 can bo found in Europe iu sucli fine condition. Tile first instrument has a straight back and the top is of a conical shaiie similar to tlie bass viol of tho present day, and not rounded ns tho violoncollo. The scroll is an artistic piece Of carving made to represtint the griffin of ancient mythology and is of brazed wood. Ivory squares aro sot in tlie finger board in stead of raised brass frets, and accurate ly designate tho fingering placos. It is keyed for five strings, Whilo all liow in struments of the present age have but four. This valuable treasure of Mr. Steinert was found in a monastery in Berlin, in connection with a viola. d’Ainore, by a German citizen. He brought it to this country about thirty y ears ago and kept it until purchased by Mr. Steinert Al though there was nothing about ft to show the date of its make, its construc tion indicates that it was mode some time during the Fifteenth century.—New Haven Union. What Keep* the Bicycler Upright? Let us suppose a cyclist mounted on his wheel and riding, say, toward the north. He finds -himself .bcgiuuing to tilt toward his right. He is uow going not only north with the machine, bnt east also. He turns the wheel eustward. The point of support must of necessity travel in the place of the wheel. Hence it at once begins to go eastward, ami. as it moves much faster than the rider tilts it quickly gets under him, and the ma chine ia again upright. To one standing at a distance in front or rear the bot tom of the wheel will be seerf toxnfive to the right and left I conclude,-then, that the stability of the bicycle is doe to turning the wheel to the right or left, whichever way the leaning is, and thns keeping the point of support under the rider, just as a boy keeps upright on his finger a broom stick standing on its smallest end.— Charles B. Warring in Popular Science Monthly. Begged John'* Pardon. At the Old Bailey it was customary to sentence the whole of tho prisoners found guilty at the sessions at one time. It fell to Baron Graham's lot to perform this duty, and he accordingly went over, the list with due solemnity, but omitted ono person brought up for sentence—Mr. John Jones. The judge wason the point of finishing the sentences, when the offi cer reminded his lordship of this omis sion. Whereupon the judge said grave ly, “Ob! 1 am sure I beg John Jones' pardon,” 'and . then sentenced him to transportation for life.—San Francisco Argonaut. Slang and Simile. Will somo one kindly point out where metaphor and simile leave off and where slang begins? There are many expres sions about which sometimes cause cul tured people to tarn up their noses or raise their eyebrows, oml yet they are to be found iu the Bible, in Shakespeare and in other excellent places, while there are about as many expressions which peoplo mo with a great deal of reverence, thinking that they come from the Bible, which really ore to bo found only in sncli works as Sterne's “Sentimental Journey Through Italy.”—New York Continent Unsuceeshful.
