Napoleon I. cared less for cards
than chess, at which he believed
himself to be a very good player,
none of his courtiers daring to

During Mrs Cleveland's recent
stay at Lakewood, the mysteries

to hear that it was a very old Irish

NOW, GIVE ATTENTION
To the purification of your blood, for
at no season is the body susceptible to
the benefit to be deprived from a good
medicine, as in March, April and May.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the people's
favorite spring medicne. It stande
unequalled for purifying the blood,
curing scrofula, salt rheum, eto, regul-
ating the kidneys and liver, repairing
nerve tissues,atrengtheningand invigor-
ating the whole body as well as checking
the progress of acute and chronic di -
ease, and restoring the afflicted parts to
a natural, healthy condition. If you
have never tried Hood's Sarsaparilla
for your "spring medicine," do so this
season.

THEM HEADLESS bNARE
Prof. Brewer, of Yale, recently
told a geed snake story. Years
ago he was in California, and had
his tripod and other surveyor's
instruments in the field. Stepping
along In the bushes he felt a
movement under his fc ot, and
found that he was standing on a
four and a half foot rattlesnuke—
alarge vicious and figl•ting fellow.
But tho snake was so pinioned
that he could not strike the thick
heel that• heid hien fast. Prof
Brewer held the rattler's head
down with his tripod and cut it
off. Thenhe cut off his rattles.
Stepping aside, he saw the body
of the snake, partly coil• , lying
very still. Taking out his rule
to measure its length, the profef
sor took hold of the serpent to
straighten him out.
Quick as an electric sbeek, said
Prof. Brewer, "that headless
snake brought the bloody stump
over and struck a hard blow noon
the back of my hand.' He adued.
"I knew that his bead was off,and
that he could not poison me. but
that quick and hard blow of the
rattler made my hair stand on
end."
Prof. Willister, standing by,
said t have on two or three occas-
ions seen similar sudden blows by
headless rattlesnakes.
The Kansas legislature has pass-
ed a bill pipviding that non-resi-
dent aliens shall not be allowed to
,acquire or hold lands, and giving
non-resident aliens seven years to
'dispose of their lands. If the
lanae aro not disposed of in that
time, they revert to the state.

there was reason to expect, that it
would soon st altogether.
Alone in that vast solitude with
his haggard features dimly light.
ed by the crimson rays of the
bluod red moon, with the frozen
tears upon his cheek, and a wild
hungry look in his eyes, sat ono
man upon a stone. The last man.
The only man upon all the deser-
ted world, waiting for the final
throe when the world would be -
become a defunct body a dead
sphere.
Suddenly there was a soft whir-
ring of wings, and an angel sped
down through the vast space of
the infinite realm, and lighted by
the side of the forsaken man.
'Why are you here ?' asked
Lhc _angel,. , Why dWI
follow the procession when it left
for the pearly gates of heaven?'
'A las!' said the man.
'Why?' said the angel, 'did you
linger here? — Was it because
you loved the earth?'
'No,' said the man.
'Was it,' continued the spirit,
because you were ashamed, or
proud or undeserving'r'
'No, No,' cried the unfortunate
man.
'Then,' said the angel, 'what
was it ?
"Alas !' groaned the man. 'I
am anseditor,and I wasstarvod to
death bymy delinquent' sulisorili�
ers. I was too weak to go. I—'
But the angel stopped him.
Tenderly he took the editor up
under his arm and swiftly he soar-
ed through apace, up, and up, un-
til he had reached the pearly
gates. A whispered word to St.
Peter, and the gates flew open.
There was a burst of celestial mo-
lody, and a ray of celestial light
shot forth and shone forever
through the awful void of space.
At the same time thele came up
from the bottomless pit a wail of
the 'most agony. The old
serpent was flogging the delin-
quent subscribers with his tail.

THE 'CARE OF THE HiINDS.
There aro not nenrly so many
secrets in hand treatment as people
imagine. A little oatmeal mixed
with water will whiten the hands.
Many people use glycerine on
their hands when they go to be Y,
wearinggloves to keoptho bedding
clean. But glycerine does not
ogre with every one. It makes
some skins harsh and rcd. These
people should rub their hands
with dry oatmeal and wear gloves
in bt 1. The best preparation for
the hands at night is white of aq
egg, with a grain of alum dissoly-
c 1 in it. Quacks have a fancy
name for it, but all can make it.
They also make the Ii lm'ln toilet
paste. It is merely the white of
an egg, barley flour and honey.
They say it W89 use i by the Rom-
ans in the olden.. times.. At any
1 -ate it is a first rate thing, but it
is sticky and does not do the work
any better than oatmeal. The
roughest and hardest hands can be
made soft and white in the space
of a month, by doctoring them a
little at bedtime, and ail the tools
you need re a nail brush, a bottle
of ammonia, a box of powdered
borax and a little fine white sand
to rub the stains off, ora cut of
