Tlio following is a characteristic Hood's
•Sarsaparilla testimonial. Facts like
these have made Hood’s Sarsaparilla
America's Greatest Medicine and on
den red it to thousands of homes scat
tered ail over this broad land.
“tVe like to tell what Hood’* Rnr«npa
rilia ha* done for u». Our four children
bad diphtheria. From the very Hr*t our
little lioy Ralph, thou seven years old, was
very sick and for soveral days it seemed as
if he would never 1m) any better. After n
while he began to Improve and in a few
weeks was aide to go out, although weak
and miserable. Then, gradually

paralysis, which sometimes follows an at
tack of diphtheria We did everything
for him. but he grew worse until he wm in
a pitiful condition. Ho suffered terribly
nt night and complained continually of

able to get, mooned unceasingly. He io-t
nil lontrol of the muscles of his body and
linilsi. He had no appetite nudi omplained
of feeling sii k nt tin stomach all the time.
After we had tried many different reme
dies and had about given up all hope
we commenced giving him Hood's Sarsa
parilla. in n short time he ceased to com
plain. his appetite improved and nt tho
end of three months l:o was able to attend
school a part of the time Now he is well
and <|Uite a strong and ragged boy. You

Economy is also a characteristic of

The reason of the new fangied fem
inine fancy known an the Kus ;ian
blouse was discovered by a Washing
ton Star reporter on a trip from Jersey
City to Washington a few nights ago.
The train had just begun to move out
of the Jersey City station when a
young woman, rather cf the '‘new" or
der. swung herself aboard. She was
almost breathless from hurrying, and,
unlike the majority of her sex, was sin
gularly unhampered by luggage. A
neatly rolled umbrella and a jatket
were all the traveling gear site carried.
The young woman occupied a section
by herself, and It was apparent that
she contemplated retiring, for she re
quested the porter, with every indica
tion of weariness, to make up her berth
with all possible haste. Yet was the
•eperrter mildly curious to observe that
the young woman had no grip in which
it is usual to carry toilet conveniences.
He wondered if she contemplated ly
ing down in an Immaculate tailor
made skirt and a fashionable Russian
blouse. As the making up of the berth
neared completion the young woman
rose and proceeded to the lavatory. Ev
ery one in the car looked at her, for she
was exceedingly handsome and pos
sessed a trim little figure. Pretty scon
she returned to her section and the re
porter marveled more than ever, tlhe
was arrayed in a black India silk neg
lige, and she carried her blouse over
her arm. Several observing women ex
changed wondering glances, for they,
too, had noticed the absence of all lug
gage. and were puzzled at the transfor
ma'ion. i bis fascinating traveler was
the object of general attention next
morning as tbe train rolled into Wash
ington. The young woman sat calmly
in her section, rolling into the small
est and tightest bundle possible the
India silk garment. This completed,
she closed a folding comb, put a tooth
brush into an oil silk cover, and with
a dexterous movement from under
neath, which looked like the stretch
ing of an elastic band, the young wom
an slipped neglige, comb and tooth
brush Into her Russian blouse. A hand
kerchief and veil soon followed, and
lol tbe traveler suggested one of our
west end giris arrayed for a morning
stroll on F street, without a suggestive
sign of having passed the night on a

HAVANA (via Key West), March 12.
—(New York World Cablegram)—Th«
discovery of the Maine’* ram and its
position relative to the rest of the
wreck is the crowning proof that the
ship was blown tip by a mine or a
large torpedo. There is no longer
roam for doubt, reasonable or unrea
sonable. The ship is absolutely broken
in two. Its heavy ram today ooints
almost at right angles fiom the point
of the intact rear two-thirds of the
ship. It paints under water squarely
at the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII.
which Is anchor way to the left of tin?
v.reck. It should point light ahead
at I,a Mat hlaa. The qu cr phenome
non of the present position of the vis
ible portion of the wreck is thus ex
plained: . i
On February 13 Alfonso XII and tha "N
City of Washington, immediately after
the explosion, lay very near the Maine,
but pointed away to the left of the di
rection in which the visible portion
of the wreck a found to point the
nxt nit. iiit'g. Kxperis Haiti that
either nn iiiuf. cuntabl0 current hud
held the .Maine in a different position
from that of the tthera while all were
tit anchor, or the Maine was hurled
away around toward the ilyht by ihe
force of nil Fits: la explosion against
the port .hie well toward the forward
dal. It ■■ .is hu:>d away and tin* ex

bodily and hurl It tip and over the
starboard at rh * p int of gr< ale.-* i it -
pact—about 10) feet (or onr third of
the ship's iiiigthi, from Its lam.
The Maine's extreme ftiv/irl y, nt
was a me.-strive -teel ram. a termendom
heavy struct'i-e. It moved but tittle,
and this portion of the ship betw rn
It and 'he point of cxolosh n -wu::g
upon th.it arm like :• weight upon a
fulcrum, away from that awful f urn
applied attains: the port side In the
same manner the stern of the Maine
was uninjur<*d and moved tittle, while
200 feet of file ship forwaid to the
point of impact swung around to the
tight away from the force. And (he
Maine lies broken in two by a blow
against its ride, as one might lay down
a stick ho hul broken across l)h knee.
The discovery of the Maine's port
bottom plate, with its split "Z” bar
braces, its gusset plate, its siuice valve,
its two inches of protective cement on
ihe inside and Its Higgins green anti
fouling paint upon the outside was
proof enough, it protrudes from the
water fully twenty fe t toward the cen
ter of the ship from the proper posi
tion. and moved exactly toward the *
only Interior explosive force of tbe
ship powerful enough to do much datn
.ge there It was hurled into tlm ship
and above Hip water by a tremendous
explosion against it from the outside,
and now that the discovered ram
shows file original position of the ship,
the awful eft'c-n noted on great and *
small things -<re known to hnv..
from exterior causes, aided, perhaps,
by a smail interior magazine, as has
been cabled.
