BLOOD-POISONING
Nurse's"Experience. . ,
There are thousands of people suffering
from blood poUoninjr who have almo.it
beggared themselves in buying medicines
.from which they have obtained no help.
There are thounands of others who firt or
last have trial Dr. Ayer's 8ar apnrilln and
found perfect healing. One of these
cher , Mr * . A. F. Taylor , of JJnglevale ,
N. Dale , relates the following experience :
"About two yenrs ago , I nursed a lady
Trhowas suffering ( and finally died ) from
blood poisoning- must have contracted
the disease from her ; for shortly after her1
death , I had four large sores or ulcers ,
break out on my pcnon. I doctored for a
long time , both by external application
and with various blood medicines ; but , in
spiteof all that I could do. the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate , very pain ,
ful , annoying , and only getting worse all
the time. At last , I purchased six bottles
of Dr.Ayer's Sarsapnrlllu , thinking I would
give it a thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken , I noticed a decided im
provement in my general health ; my ap
petite -wan quickened , and I felt better
and stronger than I had for some time.
While using the second bottle , I noticed
that the tiores had begun to look healthier

been well ever since. I had rather have
one bottle of Dr.Ayer's Saraaparilla than

This is but one example of the remedial
value of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla in all
forms of blood disease. There is no other
blood medicine that cures so promptly ,
so surely and so thoroughly. After nearly
half a century of test and trial it ic the
standard medicine of the world for all
diseases of the blood. Sores , ulcers , boils ,
tetter , rheumatism , scrofula and every
other blood disease is curable by Dr. Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. The success of this remedy
has caused many imitations to be put on
the market. Imitation remedies work im
itation cures. The universal testimony is
that "one bottle of Dr. Ayer's SnmaparllU

"You might lire off a pistol , sir ,
close to his ear and ho would no
hear it The vibration might dis
turb him ; that is all Until you or ]
touch him , and sojestablish the no'rv'
ous sympathy , ho is as lost to all
sense of our presence here as if hf
were dead. "
With those words she returned t (
her place in the corner behind hei
son's chair.
The visitor took Doctor Lagardo'f
hand. As they touched each othei
ho vaa conscious of a faintly titilla
ting sensation in his own hand
sensation which oddly reminded birr
of by-gone experiments with ar
electrical machine in the days when
he was a boy at school
I wish to question you about my
future lifet" he began. "How oughl
I to begin ? "
The doctor spoke his first words ir
the monotonous tone of a man talk
ing in his sleep.
"Own your true motive before you
begin , " he said. "Your interest in
your future life is centered in
woman. She has not positively re
jected you , and she has not openly
encouraged you , in the time that is
past. You wish to know if her hear I
will be yours in the time that is tc
come , and there your interest inyoui
future life ends. " * - . , * -
This startling assertion of the
.sleeper's capacity to look by sympa
thy into his mind , and to see there
his most secret thoughts , instead oi
convincing the stranger , excited his
suspicions. "You have means ol
getting information , " he said , rough
ly , "that I don'b understand. "
The doctor laughed , as if the idea
amused him. Mme. Lagarde rose
from her place and interposed.
"Hundreds of strangers come here
to consult my son , " she said , quietly.
"If you believe that wo know whc
those strangers are.and that wo have
the means oi inquiring into their
private lives before they enter the
room , you believe in something much
more incredible than the magnetic
sleep ! "
This was too manifestly true to be
disputed. The visitor , a man oi
strong good sense when his temper
was not ruffled , made his apologies.
"I should like to have some ex
planation , " he added. "The thine : is
so very extraordinary. How can 1
prevail upon Doctor Lagarde to en
lighten me ? "
"He can only tell you what he
sees , " Mme. Lagarde answered ; "ask
him that , and you will get a dired
reply. Say to him , 'Do vou see the
lady ? ' "
The stranger repeated the ques
tion. The reply followed at once , in
these words :
" 1 see darkness all about me , ex
cept in one place where there is light
like the light of a dim moon. In the
illuminated space I see two figures
standing side by side. One of them
is your figure. The other is the
figure of a lady. She only appears
dimly. I can see nothing but that
she is taller than women generally
are , and that she is dressed in pale
blue. "
The stranger started at those last
words. "Her favorite color ! " he
thought to himself , forgetting that ,
while he held the doctor's hand , the
doctor could think with his mind.
"Yes , " added the sleeper , quietly ,
"her ' ( { favorite color , as you know.
She fades and fades as I look at her , "
he went on. "She is gone. I only
see you. Your hands are over your
face ; you are crying ; you look like a
man who is suffering from some
dreadful disappointment. Wait a
little. You too are growing indis
tinct ; you too fade away altogether.
The darkness gathers. I see noth
ing. "
A pause of silence lollowed. Then
the face of the sleeper began to show
signs of disturbance for the first
time. The stranger then put the
customary question to him : "What
do you see ? "
"I see you again. You have a
pistol in your hand. Opposite to you
ihere stands the figure of another
man. He too has a pistol in his
hand. Are you .enemies ? Are you
meeting to fight a duel ? Is the lady
the cause ? I try , but I fail to see
her. "
"Can you describe the man ? "
"Not yet. So far he is only a
ehadow in the form of a man. "
There \vas another interval. The
appearance of disturbance grew more
marked on , thp sleeper's face. Sud
denly he waved his free hand in the
direction of the waiting-room.
"Send for the visitors who are
there , " he said. "They are all to
come in. Each one of them is to
take one of my hands in turn , while
you remain where you are , holding
the other. Don't let go of me , even
for a moment. My mother will ring. "
Mme. Lagarde touched a bell on
the table. The servant received his
orders from her and retired. After
a short absence he appeared again in
the consulting-room , with one visitor
: nly waiting on the threshold behind
him.
CHAPTER IV.
The Man.
"The other three gentlemen have
' jone away , madame , ' ' the servant
'ifiplained , addressing Mme. Lagarde.
"They were tired of waiting. ]
found this gentleman fast asleep ; anc
I am afraid ho is angry with rae foi
taking the liberty of wakinghim. . "
"Sleop of the common sort is evi
dently not allowed in this house , '
the gentleman remarked at the door.
"It isn't my fault I couldn't mesmerize
merizo myself , could I ? "
The speaker entered the room anc"
stood revealed as the original ownei
of the card numbered fourteen ,
Viewed by the clear lamp-light , he
was a tall , finely made man , in the
prime of life , with a florid com
plexion , golden-brown hair , ant
sparkling blue eyes. Noticing Mme.
Lagarde , he instantly checked the
flow of hits satire with the instinctive
good-breeding of a gentleman. ]
beg your pardon , ' ' he said ; "I have
a great many faults , and a habit oi
making bad jokes is one of them. It
the servant right , madame , in tolling
mo that I have the honor of present
ing myself here at your request ? "
Mme. Lagarao briefly explained
what had passed. The florid gentle
man ( still privately believing it to b (
all "humbug" ) was delighted to make
himself of any use. "I congratulate
you , sir , " he said , with his easj
humor , as he passed the visitor whe
had taken his card. "Numbei
fourteen seems to be a luckier numbei
in your keeping than it was in mine. '
As ho spoke he took Dr. Lagarde's
disengaged hand. The instant thej
touched each other the sleeper
started. His voice rose ; his face
flushed. "You are the man ! " he
exclaimed. "I see you nlainly now ! '
"What am I doing1'
"You are standing opposite to the
gentleman hero who is holding mj
other hand , and you are lifting
pistol to take aim at him. "
The unbeliever cast a shrewd lool ;
at his companion in the consultation.
His inveterate habit of taking the
ironical view of everything got the
better of him again.
"Considering1 that you and I arc
total strangers' , sir , " he said , "don't
you think the doctor had bettci
introduce us before he goes anv
further ? We have got to fighting a
duel already , and we may as well
know who we are before the pistols
go off. He turned to Dr. Lagarde.
'Dramatic situations don't amuse me
out of the theater , " he resumed.
"Let mo put you to a very common
place test. I want to be introduced
to this gentleman. Has he told you
his name ? "
" ] STo. "
"Of course you know it without
being told ? "
"Certainly. I have only to look
into your own knowledge of your
selves while I am in this trance , and
while you have gob my hands , to
know both your names as well as you
do. "
"Introduce us then ! " retorted the
jesting gentleman. "And take my
name first. "
Mr. Percy Linwood. " replied the
doctor , "I have the honor of present
ing you to Captain Bervie. of the
Artillery. "
With one accord the gentlemen
both dropped Dr. Lagai-do's hands ,
and looked at each other in blank
amazement.
"Of course he has discovered our
names somehow , " said Mr. Percy
Linwood , cutting the Gordian knot
to his own perfect satisfaction in
that way.
Captain Bervie had not forgotten
what Mme. Lagarde hud said to
him when ho too had suspected a
trick. He now repeated it ( quite
ineffectually ) for Mr. Linwooel's
benefit. "If you don't feel the force
of that argument as I feel it , " he
added , perhaps , as a favor to me.
sir , you will not object to our each
taking the doctor's hand again , and
hearing what more lie can tell us
while he remains in this state of
trance ? "
"With the greatest pleasure , "
answered good-humored Mr. Lin
wood. "Our friend is beginning to
amuse me ; I am as anxious as you
are to know what he is going to see
next. "
"You have seen us fighting a duel
can you toll us the result ? "
"I can tell you nothing more than
I have told you already. The figures
cf the duelists have faded away , lik
the other figures that I saw before
them. What I see now looks
like the winding gravel path
of a garden. A man and a woman
are walking toward me. The man
stops , places a ring on the woman's
finger , and kisses her. "
Captain Bervie changed color and
said no more. Mr. Linwood put the
next question , in his usual flippant
way.
way."Who
"Who is the happy man ? " he asked.
"You are the happy man , " was the
instantaneous reply.
"Who is the woman ? " cried Cap
tain Bervie , before Linwood could
speak again.
The same woman whom I saw be
fore ; dressed in the same way , in
pale blue. "
Captain Bervie was not satisfied.
He insisted on receiving clearer in
formation than this. "teurely you
san see something of her personal
appearance , " he said sharply.
" 1 can see that she has long dark-
brown hair falling below her waist.
[ can see that she has lovely dark-
brown eyes. Her complexion seems
to be all of the delicate pale color ;
she has the look of a sensitive , ncrv-
person. She is quite young. I
"Is there any other man present
n the garden ? " was the captain's
icxt question.
"lean see no other man. "
"Look again at the man who is
jutting the ring on her finger. Are
rou sure that the face you see is the
'ace of Mr. Percy Linwood ? "
"I am absolutely sure. "
Captain Bervie rose f rein his chair.
Thank yon. Dr. Lagarde , " h
said. "I.have heard enough. "
Ho walked" to the door. Mr. Percj
Linwood dropped the doctor's hand ,
and appealed to the retiring captain
with a broad stare of astonishment
" ' this ? '
"You don't really believe
ho said.
"I only say I have heard enough.1
Captain Bervie answered , irritably.
Mr. Linwood could hardly fail tc
see that any further attempt to treal
the matter lightly might load to un
desirable results. "It is difficult tc
speak seriously of this kind of exhi
bition , " he resumed quietly. "But
I suppose I may mention a mere mat
ter of fact without meaning or giving
any offense. The description of the
lady , I can positively declare , does
not apply in any single particular tc
any one whom I know. "
Captain Borvio turned round stern
ly at the door , with the look of a
man whoso patience was completely
exhausted. Mr. Linwood'a unruffled
composure , assisted in its influence
by the presence of Mme. Lagarde ,
seemed to remind him of the claims
of politeness. He chocked the rash
words as they rose to his lips. "You
may make new acquaintances sir,1
was all that ho said. "You have
the future before you ! "
Upon that ho went out. Pcrcj
Linwood waited a little , reflecting
on the captain's conduct Had Dr.
Lagarde's description of the lady ac
cidentally answered to the descrip
tion of a living lady whom Captain
Bervio knew ? Was ho , by any chance ,
in love with her , and had the doctor
innocently reminded him that his
love was not returned ? Assuming
this to be likely , was it also possible
that ho believed in the duel seen b
the mesmerist ? Did he seriously
interpret his absence from the vision
ary love scene in the garden as an
ntimation that he was the duelist
who was destined to fall ? Nobodj
but a madman could go to those
lengths. The captain's conduct was
simply incomprehensible. *
Pondering on these questions , Percy
decided on returning to his place be
side the doctor's chair. "Of o e
thing I am certain , at any rate , " he
thought to himself. "I'll see the
whole imposture out before I leave
the house. "
He took Dr. Lagardo's hand. "Now ,
then , what is the next discovery1
he asked abruptly. "Anything more
about the lady and gentleman in the
garden ? "
The answer ivas given in low ,
languid tones. The sleeper was evi
dently beginning to suffer from
nervous fatigue.
"I see no more of the garden , " he
said : "or of the persons in it. What
I now see is a small room , like a cot
tage parlor. The woman who has
appeared to me throughout presents
herself to me again. But this time
the man who is with her is no longer
Percy Linwood the man is Captain
Bervie. "
Percy smiled sarcastically. "Good
news for the captain ! " he said. "It's
a thousand r > ities he went away. If
he had waited , he would have heard
something personally interesting to
him. May I ask , Dr. Lagarde , how
Captain Bervie and the lady are oc
cupied ? "
The sleeper seemed to find some
difficulty in answering the question.
I can only see , " he said , "that the
woman is painfully agitated by some
thing the captain is saying to her.
He puts her arm in his ; he seems to
be trying to persuade her to leave
the room with him. She hesitates ;
she asks him , with. Years , to release
her. Ho whispers something in her
ear which seems to persuade her.
She considers ; she says a few words
on her side ; she yields. He leads
her out of the room. The darkness
gathers behind them. I look and
look , and can see no more. "
"Shall we wait awhile ? " Percy
suggested , "and then try again ? "
Dr. Lagarde sighed , and reclined
in his chair. "My head is heavy , "
he said , "and my spirits are dull.
I will try again to please you. Don't
blame me if I fail. "

A Germ-in Discovery.
The reason that the mixture of
tungsten with steel gives the latter
so great a degree of hardness that it
readily scratches glass and quartz
seems to be revealed by a discovery
recently made in Germany. A def
initely crystallized compound of iron
and tungsten has been discovered ,
the crystals being so hard as to
scratch topaz. Tungsten is a brittle
white metal , almost as heavy as
gold. The crystals are formed by its
combination with iron in the proportion
tion of one atom of iron to two of
tungsten , are silver-gray and very
brilliant It is thought that when
tungsten is alloyed with steel some
of the compound just described is
formed in the mass , thereby produc
ing the remarkable increase in hard
ness of the steeL This is an inter-
3sting example of the value that one
metal may lend to another , for until
the discovery thai ; it could be used
in burdening steel tungsten , although
it occurs in considerable abundance ,
nras practically useless and without
value.

the troops to Key West.
This sudden move disarranges plans
made here and it is a question as to
how long the balance of the regiment
under Colonel Burt. who will stay with
the main body , will remain at Chick
amauga. To entire regiment may be
sent through to Key West , and the
destination of all the other commands
now under orders changed to that
place , leaving Chickamauga as a
training ground for militia and vol
unteers.
Spain Appears Self-Poised.
LONDON , April o. The Madrid
correspondent. telegraphing at 5
o'clock Thursday evening , says :
"I have just had a conversation with
Senor Sagast , wuo assured me that the
government was resolvea to not pro
voke hostmties with America , adding *
'I should be absolutely sorry if the
country were to lose its present sen-
possession because of the menaces ad
dressed to us by America. We are
striving with might to repress nation
al excitement.
" 'While others are carrrying on ag
itation with as much cleverness as
Don Carlos has displayed in his mani
festo , I hope the policy and action of
the government will inspire confidence-
in the country. Just as we are careful
now of giving any cause of offense to
the United States , so will we if neces
sary display all possible energy to de
fend the honor and interests of
Spain. "
