tin Russian' National Ifyom. '
The great part which the Russian na
tional hymn has played In western Eu
rope since the French fraternization with
Russia hue started- much inquiry about
its origin According to the Frank
furter Zeitnng. the hymn is nut yet sixty
years hid- and was first used for its pres
ent purpose under (,'zar Nicholas Wbet-
be made his tour in Prussia and Austria,
in the year 1838. he was accompanied by
Adjutant General Alexei Feodorowitscb
Lnoff. a passionate violinist ami a com
poser of some skill. The czar was liu
pressed by the fact that even - re-.-iHientiil
hand iu Berlin and Vienna snrvtwi him
by playing the national liyiun <>f their
own country.and this was apologized for
by the known absence of npy recognized
national hymn in the great empire which
lie ruled.
Nicholas was much impressed by the
deficiency, and during bis Tetnrn jonr-
ney toward St. Petersburg had much
talk with Lnoff upon the subject, and at
last ordered him to compose a hymn for
the Russian military bands Lnoff here-
njsin set music to Schulowsky’s "God
Be the Czar's Protector." The Schnlow
sky-Lnoff hymn was first played pub
licly before the czar on Nov. 28. 1888.
and so pleased the sovereign that by a
ukase of Dec. 4 of the same year he or
dered it to lie adopted as the national
hymn of Russia. Lnoff was not only re;
warded by the gift of a gold snuff box
set with diamonds, but permission was
given to him and, bis heir* to adopt the
first line of itato hymn as the family
motto.

The scores of millions of Jay Gould

Cornelius Vanderbilt's possessions. This
gentleman, however, did not credit the
estimate of John D. Rockefeller's wealth

hardly exceed half that amount.—

KEEP YOUR BLOOD. PURE.
One of the mos'f frequent and insidious
causes of bad health Is Impure blood.
This disorder of the system does not
always manifest itself outwardly by
tores, eruptions, eta, qtdte> often the
soredess Is altogether internal. The kid
neys feel tore, the liver feels sore, the
longs feel sore, and a decay seta it that
too often ends fatally. It Is mueb more
serious for blood poison to manifest it,
self Internally than externally. In auoh
oases neglect means death, for the vital
organa once contaminated grow worse
unless they grow better, and they will
never grow better unless the proper rem
edy Is applied. There is no remedy that
equals
Dr, John Bull’s Sarsaparilla,
as a curative agent in cases of blood poi
son. When other remedies miserably
fall to give relief, this remedy si way!
checks Its terrible ravages, even in in
stances of scrofala or syphlllis, and re
stores the blood to a state of absolute
purity. Large bottle (192 teaspoonfuls)

A physician of Waco, Texas,
writes: “I know a number of instances
of severe cases of blood poison being'
cured by Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla,
no other remedy or trea'meqt being
made use of, I consider that no better
blood medicine is manufactured.
