On*'* ehy(leal feel of* ike the fcithfol
setter, searoh and point out plainly th®
fact of disease ar health.
If a man is not feelin? well and vigorous
—if he is losing flesh and vitality, if he ia
listless, nervous, sleepless, he certainly ia
not well. The down hill road from health
to sickness is smooth and declines rapidly.
At the first intimation of disease, tha
wise man takes a pare, ainaple
tonic. It put* his digestion into good ac
tive order and that puts the rest of his
body in order. The medicine that Will ao
this is a medicina that is goad to take ia
any trouble of th© blood, tie of
the respiration, no matter how serious it
may have become.
The medicine to take is Dr. P*rces
Golden Medical Discovenr. It is a remark
able remedy. It cares diseases ia a per
fectly natural way, without the «aa of
strong drugs. It cures by helping Nafura.
It has a peculiar tonic effect on the lining
membranes of the stomach and bowels.
By putting thesa membranes into healthy
coaoition, stimulating the secretion of tha
various digestive juices and furnishing ta
tha blood the proper purifying properties,
it reaches out over the whole body and
drives disease-germs before it into tha
usual excretory channels. It builds na
firm muscular flesh, makes the skin and
the eyes bright.
Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has been found wonderfully efficacious ia
the treatment of skin diseases ecrema,
tetter, erysipelas, salt-rheum—from com
mon pimples or blotches to tha worst caaa
of scrofcila.
THERE is but one
way in the world to be sure
of having the best paint, and that
is to use o»ly a well-established

pure linseed oil, and pure colors.*
The following brands are stand
ard, "Old Dutch" process, and are

Strictly Pure

" Armstrong & McKelvy,"

THE CITIZEN".
Thia was A Good One.
"Did I tall you the lataat bright thing
my littla boy got offt" aak Mcßride, aa ha
joined a group of friend* at the elub.
"Tea, you did," replied all, in concert,
with discouraging unanimity.
"That's where I've oaugbt yon," retort,
ed Mo-Bride, "tor it only happened laet
evening, and I haven't seen a aoul of you
fellows since. Besides, this'.wa* really a
good one."
"Then yon haven't told it to us," re
plied Kilduff, speaking for the crowd.
"Go on.',
"Tea, tell us quiokly," added Skidmore,
'■ and let us have the agony over."
Thus encouraged, Mcßride began:
"You know, boys, little people have sharp
ears, and they are not at all backward
about telling any little scraps of informa
tion they pick up. This peculiarity has
led a good many parents to resort to spell
ing words when their young children are
present. Of oourse that sort of a thing is
of no avail after the youngsters learn to
spell. Well, Mrs. Mcßride and I are in
the spelling stage now. and little Freddy
is often very muoh mystified by our re
marks to each other. Last night we had
our new minister to dinner, and Freday
watcied tho good man helping himself
very liberally to biscuit. He thought it a
good opportunity to put into use the
family verbal cipher, feeling perfeotly oer
tain that the minister would find in unin
telligible. So he called out 'Mamma.
"'What is it, Freddyf asked my wife.
"Mamma, isn't Lii« m-i-n-i-a-t-t-r a p i-g.
spelled out Freddy, triumphantly."
The fellows bad to admit that this story
about Mcßride'* bov was really a good
one.
—Great nerve and bodily strength is
given by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
—Spain has a tremendous task on her
hands in suppressing the revolution in
Cnbaand bringing a peaceful order of
things to the Gem of the Antilles. It is
to be remembered that the one great oause
of the present insurrection is to be found
in the grinding, oppres# ve taxation to
which Spain subjects the U'and. The war
there in 1868 resulted in a debt of about
$220,000,000. In order to meet this the
island was taxed in every imaginable way.
The interest on the debt still amounts to
$12,000,000 a year. The system of tax
ation in Cuba is something difficult for
Americans to realise. Every railroad
ticket is taxed. When a guest registers
at a hotel he must have a stamp placed
opposite his name or be cannot stop there.
Every sign is placed at a stere front only
after the payment of a tax on each letter
I displayed. Even a sign ot "rooms for
rent'' is subject to this oharge. Every
' laborer who sweeps the streets pays a tax
or he cannot engage in that work, and
every professional and business man must
do likewise. The present outbreak has
already forced Spain to. vote $12,000,000
more to bold Cuba. This means another
addition to the already intolerable burden
of taxation.

—Holland disfranchises a oitisen if he
is the country tor ten years
and duriDg that .time does not formally
notify the proper authority that he
wishes to oontinue to be regarded as a
oitizen. Great Britain doss not so easily give
up her claim to the loyalty of her sub

tection on the ground that his grandfather
was by birch aid allegiance an English
man,;even though he and his father were
both born and have always lived on for

—Seeing the necessity for a good road
between Florence and their beautiful
little city of Fiesole, Italy, the authorities
of the latter place issued titles of nobility
which were inscribed in a "book of gold,"
and for which titles good round sums were
»*ked —from three hundred dollars up, ac
cording to the dignity of the title. Cocnts,
barons, and marquises were created by
scores; a uiau who taught dauoiug in Vug
