At a teacher examination m Jones county, Iowa, in answer to the question, "What "s hygiene?" a young lady applicant for a certifi cate to teach school answered: "It is the soft spot on the top of the baby's head which gradually be comes harder as the baby grows older." The Raleigh correspondent of the Petersburg Index-Appeal has this to say of the probable line of defence of the bank boodler. Cross and White: The lineof defence, while not pos itively known, is thought to be as follows: That the forgeries selected for which they are to be put upon trial are not forgeries in fact, in that no moneys were received on the notes they being simply held to make up assets in the bank state ments. The utterance of forged pa per, therefore, cannot be shown and this, it is thought, will prove quite a loop-hole by which they may escape punishment. Stuff and nonsense! The "utter, ance of forged paper" is shown by the correspondent when he says that the notes "were simply held to make up assets in the bank state ment." That is to say, thev were held as representatives of value. A forged bank note has no value in itself, but it simply represents a- yalue, the same as does a genuine note. The notes forged "by the bood lers were placed just where genuine notes would have been and repre sented the same money value. If this is not "uttering" a forgery then we must confess to our ignorance of the meaning of the term.

It was intended to take up f collection at the close of the services but the audience de camped in too much of a hurry. It was expected to thus defray the ex penses of the evening and as this method failed those who invited Mr. King to repeat liis sermon there will probably have to make up the amounatnong themselves I To Be Considered.

J tf Spring Medicine. t The necessity of a spring medi cine is almost universally admitted. And the superiority of Hood's Sar saparilla for this purpose becomes more and more widely known every year. That power to purify the blood, and those elements of strength and health which the system craves, and to which it is so susceptible at this season, are jpossessed by this peculiar medicine in a pre-eminent degree. Scrofula, pimples, boils, or any humor, dyspepsia, sick nead ache, catarrh, rheumatism, or any diseases or affections caused or pro moted by impure blood or low state of the system, are cured by rlooa's Sarsaparilla.
