Bubbles or Medals.
“ Best sarsaparillas.” When you think of it how contradio
torythatterm is. For there can beonly one best in anything—one
best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, 'one longest
river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is-?....
There’s the rub! You can measure mountain height and ocean
depth, but how test sarsaparilla ? You could if you were chemists.
But then do you need to test it? The World’s Fair Committee
tested it,—and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the
bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in? Every make
of sarsaparilla shut out cf the Fair, except Ayer’s. So it was
that Ayer’s was the only sarsaparilla admitted to the World’s
Fair. The committee found it the test. Tljey had no room for
anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer’s Sarsa¬
parilla received the medal and awards clue its merits. Remember
the word “ best ” is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are
pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowing more
“ best sarsaparilla ” bubbles since the World’s Fair pricked the
old ones. True, but Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has the medal. The
oin that scratches the medal proves it gold. Thepinthat pricks
the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, not bubble^
when we 6ay: The best sarsaparilla is Ayer’s.
CLOTH FROM CAT-TAIL'
A New Use for the Humble but Pretty
Water Plant.
Very few, probably, are aware that
the fur, or vegetable down of the cat¬
tail is a marketable article, superior to
feathers or cotton for many purposes.
It Is not quite so valuable or useful as
eiderdown, but it approaches it very
closely, and is cheaper than any of the
three. As a matter of fact, a great
many people are to-day using articles
covered with cat-tail products who
have no idea where the material comes
from.
It is a vast extent of country, com¬
paratively speaking, from which the
cat-tail Is gathered. It comes from the
swampa along the numerous creeks
that put in from the Delaware bay,
from Morris Itiver to Cape May. The
average amount gathered in the season
is a ton a day. The work of gathering
and transporting it, and then weaving
it into the many forms which it must
take before becoming salable, consti¬
tutes a considerable industry.
One of the most elaborate uses to
which this material Is put is that of
covering sofas. Very many of the sup¬
posed plush-covered divans are really
covered with a fabric of cat-tail, It
wears better than the plush, and is in¬
finitely cheaper. /
The'same argument that applies to
the sofa is applicable to the pillow.
Very often, however, such pillows go
by another name.
Sofa pillows, also, are made of cat¬
tail because a pillow avowedly covered
with cat-tail would probably be regard¬
ed with contempt. Call it Alaskan
plush, however, or Shetland wool that
haa been treated by a new process, and
it will sell readily enough, and give
gocd satisfaction, too.
The family album which graces the
centre table in the parlor of so many
farm houses is also in many instances
adorned with cat-tail covers, although
the housewife cannot be convinced
they are not plusli. She has doubtlc-is
paid almost as much as if they were
what she supposes, and naturally she
scoffs at any person who hints that she
has been victimized.
It is becoming a prevalent custom to
use cat-tail fud on the back of hand
mirrors and brushes, which have here¬
tofore been backed with plush. Some
say that the substitute is really proving
better than the original. The head
rest, too, seen on the easy chair, la
often of cat-tail—and it is none the less
comfortable for that.
Another article for which the cat¬
tail is used is the bed quilt. The eider¬
down quilt is an old-time article of
luxury. The cat-tail quilt is every
whit as comfortable, and costs about
ono quarter as much, In New Jersey,
at least, the housewife fully appreciates
the value of the cat-tail quilt, however
much her less well-informed sisters
may scoff at the idea.—St. Louis Globo
Democrat.
A Windy Well.
Arizona possesses some of the great¬
est natural wonders in ID; world, not
the least of which is the phenomenon
of a current of air issuing from or go¬
ing into the bowels of the earth
through sundry and artificial openings
made in the earth’s crust.
Something over a year ago a Mr.
Coufman undertook the drilling of a
well at his place. Everything went
well to a depth of twenty-five feet,
when the drill suddenly dropped some
six feet and a strong current of air is¬
sued from the hole. The escaping air
current was so strong that it blew off
the men’s hats who were recovering the
lost drill. The well was of course
abandoned and left to blow,.but there
are some peculiarities about it worthy
of observation. The air will escape
from the well for days at a time with
such force that pebbles the size of
peas are thrown out and piled up about
its mouth until it looks very much like
the expanded portion of a funnel. At
tho same time it is accompanied by a
sound much like the bellowing of a fog¬
horn. This noise is not always present,
because the air does not at all times
escape with the same force. Again
there will be for days a suction current,
in which the air passes into the earth
with less force than it escapes, and any
light object, as a feather, piece of paper
or cloth, will, if held near enough, be
Immediately sucked into the subter¬
ranean labyrinth.
Just the cause of this phenomenon
nobody has yet been able to determine,
but it is supposed that there is an un¬
derground opening between the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, which cleaves
the earth for than a mile in depth, and
the Sycamore Canyon, some eighty
miles to the south of it, of the same
proportions. This would seem possi¬
ble from the fact that the current of air
is always passing from north to south
or vice versa, varying a few points of
the compass from the true meridian,
but always in these general directions
as determined by experiments ant
then the stratum underlying tho quar.
tenary is of volcanic cinder. This is
very porous, and in many places so.
called bottomless holes exist.
Over 1,000,000 cat skins are used
every year in the fur trade.
UNCLE SAM WILL HELP RESCUE
FLOOD SUFFERERS. .
LEVEES ARE RAPIDLY GIVING WAY.
Soldiers Are Flared On Guard—Situation
In Overflowed District* Grows Hourly
More Desperate.
A special of Sunday from St. Louis
says: “Latest advices from the flooded
country i oath of here state that the
situation is hourly growing worse.
Walls of water have beaten down the
levees at many points and dwellers are
at the mercy of the floods.
Out of thirty-eight telegrams re¬
ceived from the lower river, but enc
records a cessation of the rise. This
was from Cairo, Ill., but the halt of
the flood in this instance is due to the
breaks in the levees adjacent in Ken¬
tucky and Missouri.
The most disheartening intelligence
comes from the Iowa and Dakota val¬
leys of the Missouri river. Warm
w eather has turned the snow to water,
which is added to the already over¬
flowed streams.
Work on levee barriers is practically
abandoned in* Arkansas and Missis¬
sippi as useless. At Chicot, Ark., a
barge load of sandbags was dumped
into a levee break. They only served
to widen the breach.
This is the experience at other
points, aud work on the outer barriers
is al audoned and every hand turned
to mve the inner levees. A dispatch
from Ripley, Tenn., says there is a
strong current through Reel Foot lake
and the old river bayou.
Steamers Among Trees.
Tt is feared the river will seek its
old channel through tho lake which
was shifted twenty miles west by the
earthquake in 1812. South of Helena,
Ark., the leveo breaks are most nu¬
merous and the damage greatest.
The live steamers employed by tlie
Memphis relief committee were aided
Sunday by two government boats tow¬
ing barges. These steamers pick their
way through tho tree tops.
TlieC!. J>. Bryan steamed due west
from Memphis thirty-eight miles and
returned with 130 people and a barge
load of live stock.
At Austen, Miss., forty miles below
Memphis, by land. but From two these h^nses twenty-four remain on
people were rescued.
Relief work is now occupying more at¬
tention than endeavors to tight the flood
with levees. A relief committee has been
organized in Little Rock, Ark. Mem¬
phis continues to save life and prop¬
erly, aided by the state government of
Yrkansas.
Sunday night Major Ambury, in
barge of the liver aud harbor work at
it. Louis, received a telegram from
Secretary Alger directing that help aud
rescue measures be at once undertaken
by tlie United Slates fleet. The Mer
,'hanta’ exchange has also taken up) the
rescue work.
Governor Jones, of Arkansas, lias
soot a company of militia to guard the
ievee of Desha county, as there were
fears that Mississippi men might try
to rave their homes by cutting tho
levee on the Arkansas side.
Unconfirmed rumors of great loss
of life are met at every hand, but tho
death roll cannot even be approximated
until tlie flood subsides.
The situation is indeed gloomy with
small prospects of immediate better¬
ment.

portance have been seriously damaged.

NOTICE OF BLOCKADE RECEIVED.

Foreign IlepTesontativCT.
The representative iu Washington
of the six powers signatory to the Ber¬
lin treaty—Great Britain, France,
Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary and
Russia—have in concert notified this
government of the blockade of Crete,
the respective notes having been de¬
livered to Secretary Sherman Sunday.
They wero almost identical, and con¬
sisted of a mere formal announcement
that a blockade of Cretan ports against
ships under the Greek flag, commenc¬
ed at 9 o’clock Sunday morning. Mer¬
chant vessels of neutral powers, in¬
cluding those of the United States and
of the treaty powers, while subject to
overhauling by theblokading warships
of the concerting fleets, are not to be
disturbed in their ordinary commercial
occupations if they carry no merchan¬
dise intended for use of the Greeks or
insurgents on the island.
It is a question whether this govern¬
ment \yill give its assent to this form
of blockade which involves a grave de¬
parture in international law, and
would establish that a precedent abolishing
rights tho Umted Stases might
desire not to surrender.

THE GREAT DEBATE IS FORMALLY
OPENED IN CONGRESS.
BILL IS INTRODUCED BY DIHGLEY.
Tho Measure Is si RengUiy One and Was
Read In Full—Chairman Ding
ley’s Opening Speech.
What will go down in history as the
tariff debate of 1897 began iu the house
at 10 o’clock Monday morning.
By the terms of the rule under which
the house was to operate during the
consideration of tlie bill, the bouse
immediately resolved itself into a com¬
mittee of the whole, and tho speaker
conferred upon Mr. Sherman (Rep.),
New York, the distinguished honor of
presiding over the committee.
Those who expected the debate to be¬
gin immediately were disappointed.
Tlie leaders decided not to dispense
with the reading of the bill, but to have
it read in full at the outset in order to
disarm the criticism ] assed on the
previous bills that they were put
through without even having been
read in tho house. The spectators in
the galleries and the members on tlie
floor waited while the clerk droned
through the 263 pages of the bill.
The reading of the bill consumed a
little over two hours, so that it was a
little after 12:20 before the leader of
the majority, Mr. Dinghy, was recog¬
nized to open the debate.
Mr. Dingley began by stating that
congress haring been convened ill ex¬
tra session, the facts which had led to
the issuance of tlie president’s mes
sage were:
“That the government revenues dur¬
ing the past four years had been in¬
sufficient to meet expenditures to tho
extent of more than $200,000,000, or
an average of $50,000,000 pej - annum;
that this under deficiency will continue to
grow existing conditions; that
the deficiency has been met by borrow¬
ing, that is by bond sales, and that
this has promoted distrust, intensified
and prolonged the run on the treasury,
and the weakening of business confi¬
dence. This deficiency of reserve,
said Mr. Dingley, lias nearly all arisen
from a falling off in revenue duties on
imports, and not from a decline of
revenue from internal taxes.
In revising tho tariff he .-aid the
members of the committee have en¬
deavored to discard mere theories anil
have addressed themselves to the
framing of a practical remedy, at
least in part, for the ills which have
for so many months overshadowed the
country.
’ “It is a condition and not a theory
which confronts us. Our problem is
to provide adequate revenue from du¬
ties on imports to carry on the gov¬
ernment and in imposing these duties
to take such measures as shall secure
just protection to our own people in
the production and manufacture of
such as we can produce or make for
nnrselves with natural advantages aud
thus provide more abundant oppor¬
tunities for our own labor.
“No economic policy will prove a
success, unless it shall in some man¬
ner contribute to opening up employ¬
ment to the masses of the people at
good wages. When this shall be ac¬
complished and thus the purchasing
power of the masses restored, then—
and not til! then—prices will cease to
feel the depressing effect of undercon¬
sumption, and the prosper]of our
people rise to the standard of 1892.
Mr. Dingley then read some statis¬
tics relative to the importations and
tariff on wools and raid that by placing
wool on the free list the treasury lost
$21,000,000 revenue and the farmer
$30,000,000 per year, and that this
country had not been able to increase
its exports of manufactures of wool.
It had been claimed, he raid, that tho
price of clothing had been reduced,
but this was only in appearance, be¬
cause people had been deprived of
work aud wages and found it harder
to buy clothing than before. This
would aid the woo! grower, increase
manufactures and ultimately increase
the revenue.
Speaking of the sugar schedule, Mr.
Dingley said it would increase the reve¬
nue and encourage such production in
this country.
Continuing, Mr. Dingley said: “For
tlio most part the increase of duties in
the pending bill over tlie figures in the
tariff of 1890 have been in the para¬
graphs in luxuries like tobacco, liquors,
silks, laces, etc., which being articles
of voluntary consumption, are always
regarded as objects which will bear
the highest duties. Mr. Dinghy then
briefly touch.es upon some schedules
which had not. been materially changed
from the present law. These include,
iron, steel ami cotton.
“Sc far as possible the aim has been
to avoid exclusively ad valorem duties
on articles which have been notorious¬
ly under valued and thus failed to pay
the. duties. The better class of im¬
porters have united with manufactur¬
ers and administrators of the law in
asking this.
Ml - . Dingley discussed at some
length the ad valorem aud specific
duties, and presented figures showing
how disadvantageous!} - the ad valorem
system worked. He then presented
the estimates as to the probable rev¬
enue that would ho raised by the bill,
which were given in his report, with
the supplemental statement that the
-second year the bill would yield
$100,000,000 increased revenue.
“Iu all other schedules," continued
Mr. Dingley, “tho rates proposed in
the pending bill arc between the rates
of tariff of 1890 and the present law.
In closing Mr. Dingley said:
“It n irst be obvious from any point
of view that prompt action by the two
houses of congress is indispensable to
secure revenue which the pending bill
is intended to yield. The exigency is
an unusual one. The people, without
regard to parly affiliations, are asking
for action. Business awaits our fina’
decision. With this great question of
alequate revenue to (any on the gov¬
ernment sett led facet ably 1 y such an
adjustment of tho duties as will iestore
to our own people what has been snr
rendered to others during the past feui
years.
The Typewriter’s Encore.
“During a recent session of parlia¬ found
ment, Sir William Harcourt
himself, ” says a writer in the Leeds
Mercury, “unexpectedly in view of an
important speech, and having no notes,
went into the stenographers’ room lady to
prepare some. He procured a
typist, and dictated to her for some
time. As he wound up a glowing
peroration, the lady typist suddenly
gasped and burst into tears. ‘Would
you mind saying all that again?’ she
said plaintively; ‘I’ve forgotten to put
any paper in tlie machine!’ ”
In Doubt.
A certain minister,who is not always
bo careful as he ought to be in making
his teaching and his practice corres¬
pond, was lately tolling some friends a
story of adventure. It was a pretty
“tall” Btory, and the minister’s ten
year-old little girl was observed to be
listening to it very intently. When he
finished she fastened her wide-open

Woman’s Nerves.
Mrs. Platt Talks About Hysteria.
When a nerve or a set of nerves supplying
any organ in the body with its due nutri- .
ment grows weak, that organ languishes, f )
When the nerves become exhausted and |
die, so to speak, the organ falls into de¬
cay. What is to be done? The answer is,
do not allow the weakness to progress j
stop the deteriorating process at once ! ia
Do you experience fits of depression, alter¬
nating with restlessness? Are your spirits ■ i

Nothing is better for the purpose than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com¬
pound; it will work a cure. If you do not understand your symptoms., write to
jfSS'Ssa, Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she will give you honest,
expert advice, free of charge.
Mas. Levi F. Platt, Womlcysburg, Pa., had
► a terrible experience with the illness wo havo
just described. Here is her own description of
her sufferings:
‘‘ I thought I could not be so benefited by any¬
thing and keep it to myself. I Jiad hysteria
. (caused by womb trouble) in its worst form I
was awfully nervous, low-spirited and melan¬
choly, and everything imaginable.
“ The moment I was alone I would cry from
Mi
sH r hour to hour; I did not care whether I lived
or died. I told my husband I believed Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound would do
’me good. I took it and am now well and
strong, and getting stouter. I have more
color in my face than I have had for a year and a half. Please accept my
thanks. I hope all who read this and who suffer from nervousness of this
kind will do as I have done and be cured.”
