The tobaeeo habit grows on s men un til his nervous system is seriously effect ed, impairing health, oomfort and happi ness. To quit suddenly is too severe a, shook to the system, as tobacco, to an in veterate user, beoomes a stimulant that his system continually craves. “Baoo Curo” is a scientific oure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully com pounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private praotlce since 1872, without a failnre. It is purely vegetable and guar anteed perfectly harmless. Yon can use all the tobacco yon want while taking “Baoo-Curo.” It will notify yon when .to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent, interest. “Baoo-Curo” is not a substitute, bnt a scientific cure, that cures without the aid of will power and with no iuoonvecienoe. It leaves the system as pure and free from nicotine as the day yon took your first chew or smoke. OUBSD BT “BAOO-OUHO” AND OAIHXD nun pounds.

Co., La Crosse Wis.—Gentlemen: For forty years I used tobacco in all its forms. For 26 years of that time I was a great sufferer from general deDility and heart disease. For fifteen years I tried to quit, but couldn’t. I took various remedies, among others “No-To-Bao,” “The Indian Tobacco Antidote,” “Double Chloride of Gold,” etc., etc., but none of them did me the least bit of good. Finally, however, I purchrsed a box of your “Baoo-Curo” and it has entirely cared me of the habit in all its forms, and I have increased 80 pounds in weight and am relieved from all the numerous aches and pains of body and mind. I oonld write a qnire of paper upon my changed feeling and con dition. Yours respectfully, P. H. Maxbubt, Pastor O. P. Church, Clayton, Ark.

CRISPI AMO OUIDA SHRIBKINQS fcp Tbnt l« a Briga of Tarrar from Alps to atom The government of Francesco Crispl has sent the country back sixty years, says Oulda In the Contemporary Re view. By him and through him all the old Instruments of torture are In use. Spies HU the cities, detectives scour the Qelds, informers listen to all speech, public and private; literary clubs and co-operative societies are arbitrarily dissolved; packed Juries condemn; venal judges sentence; military courts imprison civilians; civil courts Judge homicidal officers; time serving prefects deny tne franchise to all Independent thinkers and manipulate the electoral Hats to suit their governments; lads as they come singing through the country lanes are arrested If the song Is of lib erty; little children writing In chalk on the town wall are sent to prison for forty-five days. There Is a reign of ter ror from Alps to Etna, and the police, armed to the teeth, swarm everywhere and the prisons are crowded with Inno cent cltlsens. The country has gone back to the darkest and wont days of Austria and papal tyranny and the name of the tyrant Is ostensibly Hum bert of Savoy; In reality, Francesco Crisp!. Meanwhile there is no check, whatever on the caprices and coercion of hi* rule. It is already stated that to procure funds, nominally for Africa, actually for the elections, confiscated church property, now state property, Is to be largely and without the consent of parliament Illegally sold. To any one who cares for liberty and believes It to be the sole moral hygiene of a na tion the state, of Italy at the present time Is painful and humiliating. Equally so to any unbiased English thinker is the attitude of the leading English newspapers upon Italian af fairs, which they oowUnuously and sys tematically conceal or distort It Is difficult well-nigh Impossible to make the most Intelligent Englishman com prehend Italian public life. He la mis led by the surface semblance of hts own Institutions of monarchy, parlia ment and electorate and te does not comprehend the enormous unllkeneaa of all these to his own caused by character and custom. AERIAL TRAVEL, H—WII—i WhU MimmiI Seismic ta (Mi ni(H It la nMnt that not om at these would-be flying machine than haa am •eriously undertaken to solve the proto* lem mentally, says the Plttakurg Dio* patch. There la but one way of getting through the air by mechanical action, and that ia by cleavage. There are really only two forma of cleavage, the one aa repreaented by wlqg action aa applied by lnaeeta and birds, the other a rotary action aa repreaented by the •crew .of a steamer. To the application of the wing principle there ia a limit, set by natural law, Just as in animal forma there ia a limit set to either bi> pedal or quadrupedal construction There ia, perhaps, no form of cleavage that represents the expenditure of force more economically than wing action as manifested in the flight of a wild gooae. Here is an exceptionally large avoir* dupols for the wing area, but the bird cannot carry any additional weight. In the blrda of prey, the body ia lighter in proportion to wing surface—a light, compact frame, but immense muscular action, capable of carrying for a abort distance a load of from eight to twelve pounds. But the limit la soon found, and there is not a winged creature on the earth weighing fifty pounds that can mount into the air and cleave as a true flyer. Why do not the ostrich, the great auk, the emu and other congeners of these bird tribes properly fly, since they are equipped with cleavers as are other birds of flight? Walkers and swimmers, aa well as flyers, are all, by natural law, limited within certain re strictions, and it is remarkable that these inventors have not leaned this, as it Is a fact of the utmost importance, and one which, in a careful analysis, must early disclose Itself. ot m» Qni* nm hM To make moat delicious as well aa healthful salad use a good ripe grape fruit and crisp, fresh head of lettuce.* Wash the lettuce and let It stand In cold water till needed, then shake out the leaves and arrange them In the sal ad bowl. Cut the grape-fruit In half and with a spoon take out all the pulp, taking care to preserve the Juice. Ar range tbs pulp In the lettuce leaves and make a dressing of oil and the juioe. To every three tablespoonfuls of this oil allow half a teaspoonful of pepper. Put all these Ingredients In a bowl and dissolve the salt and pepper In the oil, then rub the spoon with a dose of garlic and stir in the Juice of the fruit until emulsion Is formed. Pour It over the lettuce and pulp and serve at once. About one teaspoonful of Jul.ee should be sufficient for'three of oil, but It m not possible to lay down any exact rule. Vigorous stirring Is essential, and a* soon as a whitish compound Is formed the dressing Is ready for use.—Philadel phia Record. Cheese Crash eve.
