IT CONTAINS much special Information regarding any Nation, Province State, City, Town or Village desired. The knowledge is rarely obtainable from a school geography, which necessarily has only a few general tacts and the location of important cities. Railroad maps are notoriously incorrect and misleading, hence the puzzled truth-seeker, where large libraries are inaccessible, is without relief unless he it the happy owner of a knowledge-satisfying, pleasure-giving People's Atlas. All Countries on the face of the earth are shown. Rivers and Lakes are accurately located. All the large Cities of the World, the Important Towns and most of the Villages of the United States are given on the Mans.

My life THE TKOIISED LAM). Why the Ta.iUt, Traveler aaslMadrat hbauM Visit I'Uh. There are two reasons, either one of which ought to be conclusive with every American citizen. First. The trip from Denver to Utah via Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt Lake Route," Is the grandest to be found anywhere on the continent. No European trip of equal lengtn can com pare with it In variety and grandeur of scenery and wealth of novel interest. StxomL You should go because, when you have made this wonderful trip, you will find Utah at the end of it-Utah, one of the world's famous spots, and a land of gold, silver, copper, iron and coat; of lofty mountain and fertile val leys; of vineyards, fruits and flowers. Salt Lake City, the capital, is of great Interest on account of Its historical and religious associations. Here are Hot Thermal Springs, Warm Springs, Sul phur Springs, Sanitarium, Parks, Drives, Canyons and the most health ful climate on earth. Great Salt Lake, with the new and beautiful Saltalr Beach Resort, of Moorish design, has no equal in America. Write to P. A Wadlelgh, Salt Lake City, for copies of pamphlets, etc 1200.00 I.

The Horneseeker's Promised Land. The territory of Utah entered the Union of States on January 4th, 1S00, with a population of about 200,000 peo ple and a climate unsurpassed in the wide world. It is richer in agricul tural resources than any other state. It has within its borders nearly all of the known minerals and metals gold, silver, copper, Iron, tin, etc., In abun dant quantities. It has, best of all, a health-giving climate, always temper ate In summer and in winter. It has hot sulphur springs, and is in fact one large sanitarium. Utah is the ideal place to build a home in which to spend the balance of your days, sur rounded by farm and orchard which guarantee all the necessities and most of the comforts of life. There are mil lions of such homes now awaiting set tlement. Send to F. A. Wadlelgh, Salt Lake City, for copies of Utah pamphlets. It will pay you to pest yourself on the merits of the new state, which has been amply termed "The Promised Land." What C. A. Totter Says. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The Howard Medicine Company. Gentle men : I deeire to say to all who feel the strength of their manhood slowly slip ping away, whose ambition Is at its lowest ebb, whose mind Is beclouded, and the senses dulled, when you feel dyspeptic, and lose your self-respect, that your blood is out of order, and all you need is some of Howard's Vegetone Blood Powder to tone up your system. It will act almost instantly upon the blood; you will feel the renewed life and vigor coursing through your sys tem; you will feel the old-time grip in your hands; your mind will be as active asever; your friends will observe the Sag of health flying In your face, and you will feel like a new being. I have not felt so well for five year as I do since taking one package of your Blood Powder, and I feel as strong and active as ever. I weigh 15 pounds more than ever in my life. The change is so marked that it is the subject of com ment when meeting my friends. I recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest blood-purifier on earth. C. A. POTTER.

A decided sensation ban ln-en created In Vienna by a man who probably stands alone in this world In his par ticular line of performance, says Tit Bits. This gentleman's name is risk slug and he is an Austro-Hungarlan by birth. He Is an expert, or rather a phenomenal artist, In the use of '.he whip. The first thing he does Is to take a long lashed, stout handled whip In each hand and .with orchestral accompani ment proceed to crack or snap them at a terrific rate. The Bound made by his whips In this manner is graduated from a noise like a rifle report to the soft click of the billiard ball. It makes a curloussortof music and serves to show how he can regulate the force of each stroke. More interest, however, Is evinced when he seizes a vicious looking whip with an abnormally long lash. It is provided with a very heavy handle of medium length. This is his favorite toy and what he can do with it is really wonderful. He first gives an idea of what fearful force there lies In a whip lash in the hands of an expert. A large frame, over which is stretched a calf or eheep skin, is brought on the stage. This Is marked with dots of red paint The man with the whip steps up and swinging the lash around his head lets fly at the calf skin. With every blow he actually pulls a piece right out from the leather, leaving a clean cut hole. These pieces are distributed among the audience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. After this he takes a frame with three shelves. On these there are a dozen or more of medium sized apples lying very close together and provided with large num bers. Any one in the audience may designate which apple he wishes struck and the unerring lash snatches it out like a flash. A still more difficult feat is the snap ping of coins from a narrow necked bottle. A small piece of sliver about the size of half a crown is put over the cork of the bottle, which stands on the edge of the table. The whip artist, without appearing to take any sort of aim, sends the long lash whizzing through the air and picks off the coin without jarring the bottle ,much less breaking it. HOW TO TREAT PIANOS. Half the Instruments In this Country Catch Winter Colds. . Half the pianos In this world catch winter colds exactly as we do, says the New York Mercury. They get hoarse, or have a cough, or a stiff note, or some similar complaint which cannot be oured by home remedies, but require tedious and expensive doctoring. In order to prevent these avoidable ail ments It is as well to know how to take care of the Piano. Each spring-cleaning housewife who is having the do mestic piano "put to rights" during her present upheaval of the household should very carefully observe the in strument. A piano Bhould be kept in a moderately warm room where the temperature is even, say 60 or 70 de grees, the year round; not cold one day and hot the next. The instrument should not, however, be too near the source of heat It should be kept closed and covered with a felt cloth when not in use, particularly in frosty weather. Always place the piano against an In side wall and a little out from it When tuning or repairing is necessary em ploy a responsible and expert workman. Do not allow children to drum on it A professional musician may expend a like amount of strength upon the key board but if the right keys are struck much less harm is done than when chil dren amuse themselves. Avoid litter ing the top with bric-a-brac, as it af fects the tone of the instrument. A well-known maker recommends that the case be frequently wiped off with a chamois skin wrung out in tepid water. Where the case is very highly polished and dark this is absolutely necessary and little else will serve to remove the dust which settles in the fret work. To remove finger marks and blue mold, mix thoroughly two tablespoon fuls of salad oil and one tablespoonful of vinegar. Rub on a little of this mix ture with a soft rag and polish with a woolen cloth. P.rfnmlnr Burglar. A man named Frank March recently broke into a doctor's house in Camber melK England. The doctor happened to be in and he at once hurled a bottle containing peppermint at the intruder. March, who was seeking money, got nothing but a scent It clung to him when he was taken before the Lambeth magistrate. The odor of the pepper mint had been the clew that led to his arrest. The circumstantial evidence against him is, literally, strong, as the Cambermell doctor never dilutes his peppermint. The housebreaker will set up the defense that peppermint is a pleasing perfume and that he cannot therefore be considered in bad odor. New York World. KANSAS CITY STATE BANK.
