This 1b Meant for You. It has been truly said that half the world does not know how the other half lives. Comparatively few of us have perfect health, owing to the im pure condition of our blood. But we rub along from day to day with scarcely a thought, unless forced to our attention, of the thousands all about us who are snffering from scrofula, salt rheum and other serious blood disorders, and whose agonies can only be imagined. The marked success of Hood'sSarsaparilla for these troubles, as shown in our advertising columns frequently, certainly seems to justify urging the use of this excellent medicine by all who know that their blood is disordered. Every claim in behalf of flood's Sarsaparilla is fully backed up by what the medicine haj done and is still doing, and when its proprietors urge its merits and its use upon all who suffer from impure blood, in great or small d.-grees, they certainly mean to include you. As soon as the snow disappears the bicycle season reopens. A wise housekeeper chideth not her servant on wash day. The Testimonials Published on behalf of Hood's Sar- saparilla are as reliable and as worthy your confidence, as if they came from your best and most trusted neighbor. lliey state only tne simple tacts in regard to what Hood's Sarsaparilla has done, always within truth and reason. Constipation and all troubles with the digestive organs and the liver, are cured by Hood's Pills. Unequalled as an after dinner pill. The approved valentine is a box of flowers- High priced lard is price of butter. effecting the Deserving Praise. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled re medies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to re fund the purchase prjee, if satisfactory results do not follow their use.

Men and Women I'erform ltemarkable Pent, of Legerdemain. The wonderful tricks of lognrdoniain, tlie fe.ils of Imlunoing, tumbliug, and Mpe-diiiiciiig performed by men and wo iien in the tlieutros and clrciiHos in Ui:m cimntrr, are hardly equal to the coiiiiutmist tricks and feuts perfoi mod Ly Hindu jngglnrs in their nntivo land. It is a very common sitfht in Iqdiu to sco young girls bulunoing theiusolves on their hnmls with thoir hoels in tho nir, or lo pe tlmm walking on their I.uii-Im mid feet ith their boilios liont 1 -nek wards. It is an rasy thing for a Rirl of llfteen years to bend backwards, iluiigo her htmil into a holo eighteen inches loop, full of water and dirt, and bring up between her lips a riug that was buriod in the mud. Women uro not loss doxterous than tlm xirla nud tho men. They aro fre quently Keen danciug iu couples on olnc't ropes, uue filaving ou tho vina or Jlindii L'tutnr, wliilo the other poses, jiowtures, and capers gracefully abont with a vessel brimful of water in each lmmt, without spilling a drop. A Hindu inggler will stand a polo twenty feet Lil! on the ground, and then climb to tho top of it as if it was u tinnly rooted treo. Ho fixes the top of tlm polo in tho middlo of IjUsohIi, -I dani'fs ubout in all direelions with out disturbing the equilibrium of th polo. The, Mime man, after giving an exhibition of this sort, slides down the pole, takes a boy on his shoulders, climlis once more to the top, tlxos the top of tho pole iu tho hollow of his foot, und stands erect, balancing himself, with tho boy ou his shoulder, as easily as the averago person could balance himself on one foot ou the ground. Another vory diluonlt act is that of balancing n sword with a broad blade, tho poiut resting on the performer's cliiujtlieu tho juggler will balance a ptrnw ou his uoso, or on a small stick' which he holds in his hps. While pei forming this trick the juggler some times places a piece of thin tile on his nose, uud tosses up a xtoue which, fall ing on tho tile, breaks it in pieces. Some of the most wonderful feats of these men are performed on the slack rope. 'Wliilo balancing himself on the ropo, tho performer carries a long stick ou tho end of his hose. At tho top of the stick is sot a large tray from which walnut-shells are suspended by threads. He takes iu his lips a stick long enough to reach the shells, and by sudden movements of the lips he tosses each shell upon the tray without deranging anything or losing his balance. While doing this he strings beads upon a horse hair by means of his tongue, and with out any assistance from his hands. The Hindus have found means of com municating this wonderful dexterity to domestio animals. They train bullocks to perform very difficult tasks. A Hindu juggler will lie down on his back and place a small piece of stout wood, two feot high and six inches in diameter, on the lower part of his stomach. At his command a trained bullock will sot its four feet on the top of this stick and balance itself. The juggler will then plaoo another piece of wood, similar to the first, a few inches from it, and the bullock will shift his position to it with out touching its feet to the ground. Gouts are also taught wonderful feats by this quoer people. I'npleavnntly Affectionate. Everybody likes pots if they are harmless but when you make a pot of a wild beast, tako care it doesn't become unpleasantly alToctiouate. A traveller in Persia had arrived at Abadeh, where a European telograph official, Mr. O., welcomed him hospi tably, and invited him to remain for the uit-ht. Ho says : An hour later I was comfortably settled upou tho sofa, when my rest was suddenly disturbed by a loud bang at tho sitting-room door, which, Hying open, admitted two enormous animals, which I at t first took for dogn. lioth of thorn made at once for my sofa, and while the larger ono curled comfortably around my foet and com posod itself to sleep, tho smallor ono, evidently of a more aff octionate disposi tion, seated itself ou the floor and com menced licking my hands and face, an, operatiou which, had I dared, I should strongly havo resented. 1 5 it t tho white, gloaming teeth and cruel-looking green eyes inspired me with rospoct, to umo no sU-cnger word, fori had by this time discovered that theso domestic pets were panthers. To my great relief, Mr. entered at this juncture. Making friends with tho panthers, I see," ho remarked pleasantly. "They uro nieo companionable beasts." That may havo been true at the time. Tho fact remains, however, that three months afterwards the ' affectionate niie " half devoured a nntivo child. Tho neighborhood of Abedeh, Mr. O. in formed mo, swarms with these auimals.
