HRgHiB INCOME TAX MUDDLE, THE PRESIDENT.URGED TO CON " VENE CONGRESS. Is a certain indication of impure and im- 1 "y,npttv(*rlfehedMo id. If your blood could affrays be rich and pure, full of the red corpuscles upon which its vitality 'depends, you would never be weak, or Nervous! Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt rheum, would never trouble you. But Our mode of living, shut in all winter in poorly ventilated homes and shops, depletes the blood, and there is loss of appetite and weakness. Hood's Sarsa- parilla is the standard remedy for this condition. It purities, vitalizes, and enriches the blood, overcomes that tired feelingrbuilds up the nerves, and gives perfect fceilth. Read this : "Our daughter, Blanche, when four years of age, had a humor break out QH her hands and face, which our physician pronounced eczema.' If the cold air reached her face or hands they would swell up, look almost purple, and headed blisters would form and break, Discharging a watery fluid, and the bura- ing and itching: would drive her nearly . wild. Unless we incased her little hands she would tear patches of skin fpm her face and hands. We tried many doctors and many remedies, and at last gave the case up as hopeless. But our daughter Cora tried Hood's ' Sarsaparilla, to cure a scrofulous lump near the left breast which caused her much pain, and afteVtaking 4 bottles it disappeared. Blanche, wbo is now eleven, had spent seven years of suffer­ ing, so I concluded to give her Hood's Sarsaparilla. She took B'bottles, and her face is smooth and soft as a baby's, the color of. a rose petal. Her hands are soft and white; ^vherefour morithsf ago they were blue and red and calloused nearly like leather. I can­ not express my gratitude by pen or mouth. It seems a miracle, and our friends are surprised." >IKS. AMNA I L. CLAKK, 401E. 4th St., Duluth, Mimj, W\\s \ % xa\m \s \Kvrw&We&.

W lule at college a young man was habitually subject to somnambulism. His fits came on regularly every night. He ran about violently, ^oinpetl, wres­ tled and boxed with his roommates, who enjoyed the sport at his expense. While running he always held his hands before liiin, with his lingers stretched out. The general that somnam­ bulists see by means Vf the points of their fingers, .suggested to his com­ panions the idea of putting gloves,up­ on his hands. (One night this was done .while lie slept. At the usual time he rose tip, sprang out of bed; but did not move from the .spot, and groped and tumbled about like a blind or.,drunken man. At length he pereei-ved the cause, of his distress and took oft the gloves. Scarcely were his hands uncovered when lie started, up in a lively maii- ,ner and threw the gloves upon the floor., making a ludicrous observation upon the means taken to blind him, and then began to run about the room as usual.--Philadelphia News, Odd Things About the Nile. The Nile is unique among great riv­ ers in that it is the largest towards its source. But this is due to the fact tliat it traverses a desert region be neatli a semi-tropical sun and that ono- tliird of its volume below the first cat­ aract is diverted from its channel for purpose's of irrigation and domestic use- - \ „ . ? . ; The importance of the Nile to the Egyptian cannot be overestimated. Let the floods fail but for a single season, and starvation stares the poor inhabit­ ants in the face, unless,- perchance, some thoughtful and provident Joseph has laid by a supply in the teeming years.. Little wonder it is that the early Egyptian, left vto his own slen­ der resources, came/to regard the fferer. with mingled fear and. reverence, brought ofl'eritrgs to, propitiate it and maue sacnlic. > in its name. Hood's Sarsaparilla the Only True BSood Purifier Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet­ ter than others and en joy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the'neeas of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas­ ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax­ ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It lias given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid­ neys, Liver and Bowels without weak­ ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

Its magnitude can yet only be guessed at. but it is believed thousands upon thousands <?f dollars have been secured by a. gang of skilled counterfeiters, who have re­ produced with wonderful skill and accu­ racy the pink 2-c-ent stamp of commerce. It is thought the country is flooded from New York to San Francisco with these spurious stamps, and the United States has been carrying millions <?f letters from which not one > ;nt of revenue was re- ceived. Chicago apparently has been the head­ quarters of the gang.' and its prpduct has been shipped to distributing agents through the -express companies. The stamps seized Monday night by Capt. Porter at the Wells-Fargo express office were addressed to Nathan Herzog. the cigar dealer in the rotunda of the Cham­ ber of Commerce building. In the morn­ ing the express'messenger took the pack­ age to Mr. Herzog.- He examined the stamps, found them to be counterfeit and refused to accept them, and tho package was taken back to the office, where they were seized in th- evening. Herzog says that he answered an ad­ vertisement of a firm jn Hamilton, Ont., offering to sell $115 worth of stamps for $100, and ordered as many as |hey could Bend him, and that the packnge^was sent IEWIS' 98% LYE la Powdered and Perfumed.
