EARLY TEACHINGS.
Tlie Good Old Days of Our
Grandmothers.
The World Advances —Man Most Go
Forward.
Do Hot Let Disease Find a Sinecure
in You.
Away back, in the good old days of
our grandmothers, when the system
needed cleansing, and the blood en
riching, and the physical organization
toning up, it was our grandmother’s
habit to dose us with “sulphur and
molasses,” “ tincture of rhubarb,” “salts
andsena,” “extract of dandelion,” and
“ herb tea.”
These proved good remedies so far as
they went, and doubtless prevented
many a serious sickness.
But science has improved upon all
this.
Other times, other men, other days,
other remedies. The world advances.
It does not go back. ^
Medical science goes forward too,
with great strides.
If your blood is poor your skin will
tell the tale in boils, pimples, car
buncles, blotches, sallowness, yellow
ness, biliousness; and your eyes will be
the color of an old lemon.
Then you are in condition to be a sine
oure to disease when it strikes you.
What you want to do is to fortify your
system against the attacks of fell dis
ease, by Building Up.
Guard against sickness by using King’s
Sarsaparilla, tlie great tuooa prouucer
and blood purifier. It will build you up
and make you strong, and you can defy
nearly all tbe diseases of the flesh, if
your stomach, liver, and kidneys are
well and strong, and your blood is pure.
King’s Sarsaparilla is composed of
these same sort of good old roots and
herbs our grandmothers used, carefully
gathered and scientifically compounded
so that all their best - medicinal proper
ties are obtained and concentrated in a
manner to accomplish the greatest good.
There is nothing harmful of any nature
in this grand preparation.
King’s Sarsaparilla is the compound of
our childhood days improved and
fee ted.
KING’S SARSA
PARILLA, for
seven years has
been the Incom
parable medicine.
Its record is flaw
less. It sells upon
its merits, for
75 cents a bot
tle.
No cure,nopay.
If King’s Sarsapa- trade mark.
rilla does not benefit you, you are at per
fect liberty to take it back to your drug
gist, and your money will be cheerfully
refunded.
We guarantee every bottle.
Nobody in seven years has availed him
self of this, because in every case
KING’S SARSAPARILLA has done
more than its proprietors have claimed
for it. All druggists. 75 cents. Sis

KENTUCKY’S NEW SENATOR.
Judge William M. “Lindsay, Who Will Suc
ceed John G. Carlisle
Hon. William M. Lindsay, recently
chosen by the Kentucky legislature to
succeed Mr. Carlisle in tiie United States
senate, has had a remarkable experience,
especially within the last three years.
Though a pronounced Democrat, he was
one of the eight commissioners at large
for the World’s fair appointed by Presi- j
I dent Harrison, and as such made a high- i
| ly successful tour in Europe. He was
next ajjpointed by President Harrison as
a member of the interstate commerce
! commission, and his decimation of that
honor had scarcely been published when
the Democratic caucus of the legislature
i named him for senator, insuring his
election.
He has long been one of the most emi
nent lawyers of Kentucky, and in finan
cial success has probably gone ahead of
other professional man in the state. Add
WILLIAM M. LINDSAY,
that he is a magnificent, specimen of
physical manhood and that his wife and
daughter are distinguished alike for
beauty and intellect, and it will excite
no surprise that his mansion in Frank
fort is a great social center. He was
born in Rockbridge county. Va.. Sept. 4,
1835, emigrated to Hickman county, Ky.,
in 1854, studied law, and entered on the
practice in 1858.
But scarcely had he secured a good
standing in the profession when the
great conflict began, and after earnest
consideration of the issues he felt it his
duty to cast in his lot with the south
He served as captain and staff officer to
the very last, and returned to Kentucky
in 1865 to begin the battle of life anew
His success was remarkable. In 1867 he
was elected to the state senate and soon
after to be a judge of the court of ap
peals. In tbat place he served eight
years and thereafter remained in Frank
fort as an attorney before the same court
and the federal courts in the state.
His practice has been so lucrative that
he is spoken of as a millionaire, though
his real wealth probably falls much be
low a million. He is withal 6 feet 2
inches in height and weighs about 250
pounds, being thus physically qualified
to sustain the heavy dignities of a sen
ator. His wife, formerly Miss Holmes,
and his only child, Miss Marion Lindsay,
are Kentucky belles of the best type and
will certainly prove -great additions to
the social life of Washington.
FROM NORWAY TO CHICAGO.
A Viking Ship Will Cross the Ocean Unat
tended.
One of the latest novelties promised
for the Chicago World's fair is an orig
inal viking ship, 17-J feet long and 16j
feet wide, which will cross the Atlantic
unattended by any larger vessel. Its
history, or rather the history of the
model from which it was made, is quite
an antiquarian romance.
From time immemorial there has been
a tradition that a noted viking or Norse
sea king ,was buried long ago in a sand
mound near Sandef jord, a small port of
Norway, and that his ship was buried
with him. The learned, however, de
cided that the mound was natural, and
only sailors and peasants believed in the
old saga tale. In the winter of 1879-80.
however, a sailor in Sandefjord declared
his belief in the story, and that he would
prove it true. He began sinking a shaft
as miners say, and in a few feet struck
solid oak planks, as the surface of the
mound had weathered away consider
ably, and he was fortunate enough to
begin at the right spot.
THE VIKING SHIP.
Early in 1880 the savants of the Eoyal
university in Christiania had the mound
cleared away, and, behold, there was
the viking ship in excellent preservation,
and in it the skeleton of a man with
arms and armor complete. These were
shown to be of the kind in use in the
year 1000 and thereabouts. The relic is
preserved by the university, a perfect
reproduction of it is made in new timber
and now Captain Magnus Anderson pro
poses, with a crew of 20 men, to prove
that Lief Ericsson could have made the
trip 1,000 years ago by doing it next May
Three times as many sailors volun
teered as were needed, though the voy
age will be no light task, as there must
be a good deal of rowing done. The new
vessel has no deck and has oars 17 feet
long. If successful, it will remain some
time in New York and then go to Chi
cago byTho St. Lawrence and Welland
canal.
Kindness Munificently Rewarded.
Now everybody will be polite to old
gentlemen who fall in the street Near
Kensington, England, some years ago, a
Miss Birch picked up an old gentleman
who everybody else declared was drunk.
The other day she was informed that the
man whom she had befriended had died
and l.eft her the tidy sum of $750,000.

MR. BELLOWS’S COURSE.
The Lecturer's Talk on Dante and His
Circle.
The severe storm of yesterday after
noon did not prevent the gathering of an
audience that quite filled the main room
of tho Advent church to listen to Mr.
Bellows’s talk upon Dante, Petrarch,Boc
caccio and the minor poets of Dante’s
circle.
The speaker, at the outset, disclaimed
any intention of giving a “lecture” about
Dante, that task should only be under
taken by those students who have pro
foundly studied the great Italian poet,
and have, perhaps, given a lifetime to his
interpretation. He only offered a few
notes on t he mighty theme, and sought
to communicate somethin of his en
thusiasm for the vastnes ncl tnc holi
ness of th<?singer of the inn Comedy.
In the begining,Mr. Bel) sketched tin.
main outlines of thought and activity in
the 14th century, which were the love of
Greek and Latin letters, as evinced by
the work of Petrarch and Boccaccio; the
fresh flowering of art in Giotto, where
(as Mr. Browning shows in “Old Pictures
in Florence,” a part of which was read)
the old classic perfection made way for
the more seemingly incomplete but real,
ly higher and noblpr ideal of the modern
artist, and the strange development of
scholasticism, which so eolored Dante’s
poem. George Eliot’s AJRoinola” pre
sents, in the picture of the old scholar
Bardi, the love of letters, as Browning’s
“Bishop orders his tomb at St. Praxeds”
represents the strange mixture of
sensuality and splendor and delight in
elegant Latin of the Renaissance.
Petrarch was a sentimentalist, like
Rousseau and Stern but as a “human
ist” he did good sei * ice to the cause of
literature, and in a later time he inspired
Surrey and Wyatt in England to give
elegance and form to their poeti y. JJne
of his sonnets was read. Boccaccio has
lightness and elegance, and, as Sismondi
says, perfect purity of language, which
is needed to offset the impurity of his
stories. Perhaps his greatest interest to
us is in the inspiration that he supplied
to Chaucer who, using his story of
“patient Griseldis,” wrote the immortal
“Clerk’s Tale,” from which a beautiful
passage was given.
Upon the subject of the moral purpose
of literary or artistic work, and the just
now popular canon of “art for art’s
sake,” the speaker had something to say,
quoting with approval a judgment of
Sidney Lanier to the effect that the true
artist must first see that moral beauty
and aesthetic beauty are one, or his work
will not be great work.
A number of poems by poets of Dante’s
circle, or perhaps a little before him, were
read—the translation being the most ex
quisite rendering of Dante Gabriel Ros
setti. The same translator’s version of
the “Yita Nuova” also afforded some
extracts giving a picture of Dante’s love
for Beatrice and his “new birth” through
the love.
Our view of the Divine Comedy is apt
to be one-sided; we have been too deeply
impressed by the horrors of the Inferno,
and have failed to see how under them
all is the justice of God—not his anger—
which is here vindicated, while in the
Purgatorio there is a divine tenderness, a
passion of absorption in the plan and
purpose of God, “in whose will Is our
peace,” that quite removes the poem
from the realm of mere vindictiveness or
cruelty, The awful pictures or the sand
desert or the frozen lake or the burning
cauldrons are awful because they repre
sent man’s ability to deny the law of good,
and to persist in evil. The description of
Francesca and her lover, whirling about
in the whirling mist, is one of the great
passages of all poetry—remarkable, as is
so much of Dante’s verse, for its few
strokes that suggest so much more than
they tell. The passage describing the
arrival of the Celes ialjpilot and Dante’s
meeting with his old friend Casella in
Purgatory was read as showing the
tenderness and the celestial sweetness
of “the poet saturnine” ; while in conclu
sion a few lines were given portraying the
Rose of heaven, in whose centre sits
Beatrice who has lured the soul of her
lover all the way from the place of tor
ment, through tile remorse and penitence
for sin, into the peace of heaven.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the lust few years was supposed to be
incmable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cine with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to be a con
stitutional disease, and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
