One of his colleagues in the senate said to Mr. Palmer, of Michigan, the other day: Palmer, I suppose that between legitimate lumbering, lumber stealing,'and fives the timber is getting pretty scarce in Michi gan. For a moment, Mr. Palmer looked at liis friend pitingly and then replied: Just to think what a common school system we have and with it all a U. S. Senator to ask such a question ! Why, my dear sir, here is timber enough now stand¬ ing in the State of Michigan to make three board fences, posts and all, fifteen boards high, clear round the earth once a year for fifteen years. That removed the questioner’s doubts.—New York Tribune.

Curtis RHEUMATISM Is undoubted caused by lactic acid in the blood. This acid at¬ tacks the fibrous tissues, and causes the pains and aches in the back, shoulders, knees, ankles, hips, and wrists. Thousands of peonle have found in Hood’s Sar¬ saparilla a positive euro for rheu¬ matism. This medicine, by its purifying action, neutralizes the acidity of the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the whole body.

Last night a fat man, wearing a low-necked shirt with a tnrn down collar three sizes too large for him, sat down to a table in a Clark street restaurant and called for a plate of raw oysters. He got them cold and juicy right off the ice, and harpooning a fat one with his folk, he lifted it toward his mouth. But the slippery, slimy, chilly bivalve dropped off the fork before reaching its des¬ tination, caromed on the fat man’s chin and then slid down inside of his shirt and nestled on his breast. No one saw the incident. The obese gent himself didn’t see it, but he felt that something had happened and that he had arrived at a crisis in his life. A pained, startled expression rested for a moment on his face; then with a low, plaintive wail of heart-break¬ ing agony, he half rose from his chair and clapped his hand on his stomach. He struck the oyster, but that coy creature was one of the most alert and agile of its species. It at once changed its base on feeling the pressure and shied upward and across the fat man's wide expanse .of palpitating bosom, leaving a trail of arctic frigidity in its wake, and took up new quarters in his left armpit. With a wild howl of anguish the unhappy proprietor of the oyster leaped two feet in the air, uttered another yell like a wild-west In¬ dian, and commenced to work his arm after the manner of a bagpipe musician. The oyster got excited and started again on its travels, but was apparently unable to se¬ lect a permanent location. After making several blind rushes it halted for a moment under a short rib near the spine to catch its second wind. The unfortunate fat man was now in a state of* mind bordering on insanity. He kicked over his chair, yelled and swore, grabbed himself in front and behind and on both sides, rolled up his eyes, frothed at the mouth and spun around like a top. But the slip¬ pery bivalve was now thoroughly rattled Snd scooted here and there like a streak of greased lighting taking great pains not to travel over the same ground twice. “He’s got a lit!” screamed a wild-eyed man, making a rush for the door, with a napkin tucked under his chin. “It’s either that or lie’s afire inside of his clothes,” said another pale-faced diner, edging away from the sufferer. “For mercy’s sake take him off, somebody: I’m dying!” wailed the stricken man, as he threw up both hands and sat down heavily on the floor. When the victim of misplaced refreshments struck the floor the oyster shot out of the back of his neck like a bullet, hit the ceiling with a quashy plunk and then fell back and hung limp and lifeless from the chandelier. The fat man's physician says the patient will recover from his attack of nervous prostration in a few days.—Chicago Times.. THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS W. D. Suit, Druggists, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. given relief Every in bottle sold lias every case, One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, drug¬ gist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The handled best selling in medicine I have ever is Electric Bitters.” my 20 years’ experience Thousand of others have added their testimony so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidney or Blood.

The opening up of the Okefe nokee Swamp seems about to be realized, and that Georgia and Florida will soon have much wealth added to them by the cul¬ tivation of that tract that has been hitherto unapproachable by the plowshare. The swamp covers forty square miles of land in Georgia and twenty five miles in Florida, and the gentlemen in¬ terested in the draining scheme have confidence enough in it to back it with fou%million dollars in money. During 1 the ten months ended Oct. 31,1889, there was a de crease of more than 100,000 in the num¬ ber of imigrauts to this country. The greatest decrease was in the arrivals from Scandinavia, and the next greatest from Italy. The immigration from Great Bri¬ tain and Ireland decreased 30, 000, and that from Germany 10, 000. Hungary alone of the Eu ropean eountries kept up last year’s rocord. Mahone, who is now in New York, in speaking of his recent defeat, said he was too old a soldier to let a littie thing like that worry him. CONVINCING PROOF. In many instances it has proven that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), made by Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga., will cure blood pois¬ on iu its worse phases, even when all other treatment fails. A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “I had 24 running ulcers on one leg and 6 on the other, and felt greatly prostrated. I believe I actually swallowed a barrel of medicine, in vain efforts to cure the disease. With little hope advice I finally acted on the urgent of a friend, and got a bottle of B. B. B. I experienced a change, and my despondency I kept was using some¬ it what dispelled. had taken sixteen bottles, until I and all the ulcers, rheumatism and all other horrors of blood pois¬ on have disappeared, and well again, and after at last I am sound an experience of twenty years of tor¬ ture.” Robt. Ward,Maxey, Ga., writes: “My disease was blood pronounced a tertiary form of poison. My face, head and shoulders were a mass O , and finall 5 ® bones. My bones ached; my kid neys were deranged, I lost flesh and strength, and life became a burden. .A.11 said X must surely die, but nevertheless, when I had used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pronounced well. Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me. I have now been well over twelve months.” Bishop Keener, of tho South¬ ern Methodist church, has deliv¬ ered an official utterance con¬ demning the peculiar doctrine of “holiness” which has many ad¬ herents in both northern and southern churches. He told the North Georgia conference last Saturday that when a man got too good for the Methodist church it was time for him to leave.— Covington Enterprise.

There is said to be a haunted house near the business portion of Athens, and strango sounds are heard nearly every night. Only a short time since a ghostly figure was seen flitting about the pre¬ mises, that vanished into space on being approached. At another time a singular rapping was kept up all night in one corner of a room where the family slept, but would at i nee cease when any of the occupants got up in bed. The house has had the reputation of being haunted for a number of years. McElre.’.WINE OF CARDUl ior female diseases. Washington Chronicle is of the opinion that the general assembly of Georgia in order to preserve the dignity, honor and self-res¬ pect of its body should make lob¬ bying a crime. Free passes, also, should not be accepted by the legislators from the railroads. The cheek of Chicago is mon¬ umental. While invoking the aid of the South to secure the loca¬ tion of tho World's Fair for that city, several of her papers, nota¬ bly the Inter-Ocean, indulge in the meanest and most contempti¬ ble slurs upon Hon.

That is those who are cured by it, speak to friends suf¬ fering similarly, who in turn de¬ rive benefit and urge others to try this successful medicine. Thus the circle of its popularity is rapidly and widening from this cause alone, more and more are becoming enthusiastic in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla as it actually demonstrates its absolute merit. All that is asked, for Hood’s Sar¬ saparilla is that it be given a fair trial. If you need a good blood purifier, Hood's or Sarsaparilla. building up medicine try J a R imillP Vill8jt from Ohio.
