No External Symptoms. The blood may be in bad condition, yet with no external signs, no skin eruption or sores to indicate it. The tymptoras in such cases being a variable appetite, poor digestion, an indescribable weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh and a general run-down condition of the system — clearly showing the blood has lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin and watery. It is in just such cases that S. S. S. has done some of its quickest and most effective work by building up the blood and supplying the elements lacking to make it strong and vigorous.

“ My wife used several bottles of S. S. S. as a blood purifier and to tone up a weak and ematiated system, with very marked effect by way of improvement. “We regard it a great tonic and bloodl purifier.”—;. F.Duff, Princeton, Mo.

Sodden nnd Extreme Dr n«er the Test of True Con rave. It is when the unexpected happens that fatalism proves how fragile a prop it is, after all, for human courage. The soldier or the sailor can say to himself when lie knows that be must take a supreme risk in battle or in a storm: “I am powerless against Hie fate which was decreed for me from the beginning of the world. If my time has come, I cannot help it; if not, all the forces of earth and sky nnd ocean cannot prevail to harm me.” Hut when without an instant's warning a rock crashes through a ship's bottom and the waters rush into tlie gap. when confusion seizes the entire company aboard, when the fog is too thick for the captain to be seen or the roar of the sea drowns the sound of his orders a new test is applied. Then it is that the courage which rests on nothing firmer tlinn a negation gives way. and in ids greed to save his own life the stoic becomes as a madman. There have been steamship disasters in which men of humble station, of all colors and faiths, have shown the finest quality of heroism, and there have been those in which the common sailors, all whites and Europeans, have earned eternal d sgraee by their cowardice. The point we are making is not that it is possible to draw a hard and fast line between one religion and another or one race and another in the matter of bravery, but that the affirmative sense of res)>onsiliilit.v for one's own acts, of the dlffcrom e bet ween , \ght and wrong, between nobility and ignominy and of the grandeur of duty well done at the sacrifice of self, is a far surer dependence in the presence of sudden peril than all , .e stoical philosophers ever worked out by the mind of man.— Washington I’ost. SYBARITES IN THE COLD. l.ciui j an It la lii.l atsc«*«l In bj the Arctic Trailer*. So much has been written of the Eskimo (‘'husky") dogs atnl dog sleds of the north that they may well be mentioned here if only to show the idea of luxury which many of the factors and traders of the Hudson May company entertain. Seated or rather reclining in his cariole, swathed in furs, lie is driven by an engage ou foot who dashes along at a great pace. The cariole is painted gaudily. There are Russian bells ou tlie collars of each of the long span of dogs, while the harness is a mass of beadwork and tassels. No longer when he lodges at night at a post does lie partake solely of the simpler fare it can furnish, nor even when he camps out .u the wilderness must lie be ooutent with what his gun can bring down in additiou to the pemmican he carries. For now. cither under tlie cariole seat or in an additional sled behind, there is found a good supply of canned meats and vegetables, products of Chicago and Ontario, and, moreover, Ills driver is his cook. 11l the open a fire will be deftly kindled, tea will be made, bacon and even eggs will be fried, and hot "flapjacks,” that delectable fritter of the bush, half an inch thick and swimming in grease and molasses w'U tickle the factor's palate. At night, enveloped iu his furs and maybe reposing on a hastily constructed bed of balsam boughs, the last vision before bis eyes close upon the scenes of dreamland will be the scintillating splendors of the aurora borealis, whose purpling waves alternate with bars of vivid light so rapidly and In such volume as to make the beholder almost believe that nature speaks, manger the silence, all penetrating, all pervading—<Cornbll) Magazine.

PTA DEATH BED MARRIAGE Pntbetio Instance of I,nyal liove at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, April it.—Detective F. Hayes of Chicago and Miss Jeneatte Evans of Chicago were married here yesterday under peculiar circumstances. Miss Evans came here a week ago to prepare for the wedding at tlie residence of her sister ill this city. She was taken suddenly sick with the grip, and it was thought she would die on Saturday. Hayes was notified, and arrived Sunday. A marriage license was secured yesterday, and the ceremony performed while Miss Evans was on her deathbed. The scene, with the weeping family aliout the bed. was very pathetic. After the ceremony the bride began sinking and died a few hours later. Hayes remained with his bride constantly. When she was sinking, just before death, he took her iu bis arms and she breathed her last while he was holding her in his embrace. Mrs. Hayes seemed happy all day. and was smiling while suffering intense pain from peritonitis. Another Officer lin pi ic.it oil. Manila.

In contrast with tlie scandals in the com uiissary department, tlie collection and administration of the insular frauds are matters for congratulation.

April (!.—Held in a tire by its mother until its head was literally burned away and its body a mass of charred flesh, the year-old child of Mrs. Morris met an awful death yesterday. No other cause than that of insanity can lie assigned for the mother's awful deed. The woman, after the discovery of her crime, was sullen and would give no reason for what she had done other than that she was weary of the care of her child and thought it w-old be lx’tter dead. To Insure Good Government. Washington. April 6.—The first annual rcpori of tin- Philippine civil service board has lieen received here. The reiwrt described the civil service act as "a method to prevent unworthy persons from securing admission to the service and to promote economy, efficiency and honesty in tlie transaction of public business, which is desired in the future government of these islands. so that tlie people may have the fullest measure of good government at the least exiieuse to themselves.'* Debris r.cing Driven Muck.

The Original "Smasher.'’ Wichita. Kan.. April ii.—Frank Burt was apimintcd chief of |>olice last night. He is the original "joint” smasher, although a friend of the “wide open” policy. Five years ago when lie was chief, lie took an ax one night and smashed s2.<kHi worth of fixtures in a saloon that tried to run without tlie permission of the mayor aud council. Boxer Movement Keviving. Shanghai. April it.—Yu Yin Lin. governor of Hit-Pel province, has been appointed governor of Kwang-Si province. iu succession to Huang Httsi Sen who has bpen ordered to resign.

HOW QUAILS HIDE. Aldiaoiletlir Man Could Not See the Bird the Pop Was Bight. We are all more or less Inclined to dispute the unusual lueidents reported by observant brother sportmen and if persuaded will excuse the bigotry shown by saying, "I never saw any such tiling.” The claim has been made that a quail will lay a dead leaf over its back when "laying close” In the woods, and tills I have always thought mi appropriate extract from a pretty fairy tale nnd pitied any one who could be gulled by such a very transparent fable. One day while hunting quail a covey flushed wild and scattered in the woods. My companion took the old dog and I the pup, and we proceeded to beat up the cover. The first point the pup made was at the foot of a small tree, where the trees stood thick, but where the ground was stony aud was covered only with thin patches of dead leaves. Taking the direction of the dog's eyes, I passed close by his head and, brushing by the tree at the foot of which he stood, walked on 10 or 15 feet, but flushed nothing. Going back to the dog, 1 carefully took the direction of his eyes and looking closely discovered sitting between the roots of the tree within a span of my foot the bird, and lyiug well over its back was a large dead oak leaf placed in such a manner as to convince me beyond all shadow of a doubt that the bird had placed it there. My reputation for veracity is fairly good, but I wish that pup could also make a statement in this case, for he and I were the only witnesses of this, to me, strange aud Interesting incident. I*. S.—We got the bird.—Lewis Hopkins in Forest and Stream. “THE MAN WITH THE ADZE.” How the Untcher'i Chopping Block la Kept Smooth and Neat. A constructive rather than a destructive force Implied by the name is “the man with tlie adze.” who is sometimes seen by early comers to the meat markets. Most persons have doubtless observed the large blocks upon which butchers trim their steaks and chops. The top of the block is usually as smooth as glass, but the constant chopping ol meat thereon roughens the surface eventually. The general Idea seems to be that the butcher keeps hts block smooth by merely sawing off the rough section. Such, however, is not the case. Specialism has even entered here. The man who makes a business of smoothing the butchers’ blocks appears at the meat markets early in the morning before the customers arrive. He rolls the big block to the sidewalk, then mounts to the top of it, adze in hand. Bringing it down swiftly from a vertical position above his bead, the ! blade is made to pass between his legs, skimming the surface of the block with great dexterity. At each stroke a thin layer of the rough wood is removed. The operation is continued sufliciently to satisfy the butcher’s requirements. Some three hours are ordinarily consumed in the operation, and at the end of that time "the man with the adze” finds himself richer by sl.-New York Times. Photos That Would Pay. Everybody Is trying to make money quickly nowadays, and photographers, amateur and expert, form a goodly percentage of the total included in “everybody.” Here are a few subjects that would fetch very high prices: A bouse being struck by lightning. We have pbotos of lightning flashes, but no picture of tl e kind which shows a flash actually stn'-ing a bouse. Two trains in collision. Photos of wrecked trains are common enough, but a snap shot at the very occurrence of the smash remains unrecorded. The crew of a lifeboat in the act of rescuing the sailors of a sinking ship in a fierce storm. A negative of au Atlantic liner batting with an ocean tempest. If yon could take a snap shot of this subject from the deck of another liner it would be worth a good sum. A photograph of a sprightly earth quake in Japan or some other country which Is troubled In this way. It would be well to hang np yonr camera and make it work automatical as earthquakes are not to be played with. Such a picture would be Jumped at. A La y StiKhMtlon. On the last night of a series of “protracted meetings” In the Methodist church of a Utile southern California village the visiting evangelist was making a special effort to obtain a showing of anxious souls lie had preached his best sermon and reached an emotional fervor that be had seldom equaled. But nobody responded to his Invitation. They sang a hymn, and then the evangelist rose again and called upon the congregation to “enlist for the service of the Lord.” A battle scarred, wooden legged veteran who had dropped Into the back seat watched tbc proceedings with Interest For the third time the perspiring evangelist rose and asked. “Is there no one willing to enlist In the Lord’s army?" Then response came from the back seat, “Draft ’em, parson; bang It, draft ’em!” Natare’s Crnwnlni Work. As for the woman, she found the chief wonders of creation not.

Welcomed the Circa*. Howard Paul told an amusing story of his first Italian tour, when a party of 80 were piloted about by Thomas Cook, the founder of the famous firm: “AVe ascertained that he had arranged at Pisa for a number of open carriages to take us from the railway station to tlie leaning tower about tlie only object of interest there was to see in that archaic place. I telegraphed to the mayor of Pisa that Cook s circus from England would pass through the town and that 1 desired him to announce it by bulletin on the Mairie and any points where the public would see the notice, that they might extend to the troupe a hearty welcome. "Not suspecting a Joke, the mayor did as 1 suggested, and when we arrived. entered the coaches nnd drove lu procession through the town the streets were thronged with spectators, who now and then sent up delirious cheers and shunted 'vivas’ In demonstrative fashion. Mr. Cook (I rode in his carriage) was astounded at tlie enthusiasm of the Inhabitants and was puzzled to know hov. they knew the English tourists were coming, us he had only communicated with the station master regarding the vehicles. “Os course, as tl* author of the little comedy. I could not enlighten him, and when my American friend ami I called on the mayor to thank him for his Courteous attention to my requests he gently inquired where the horses were, ns the inhabitants would prefer to have seen us mounted. My Yankee partner in the 'sell' was equal to the occasion, and. ns lie spoke a little Italian. he informed the official that the horses were so numerous they would come on by a later train. "The secret was well kept, and. as Mr. Cook and none of the 'ourists were linguists and as we only remained iu Pisa three hours, they all departed in wonderment as to why their ndvpiit had earned such extraordinary excitement.”—Argouaut. The Postn-.nster at the Zoo. The lawyer who evidently considers life one huge, continuous joke entered the clerk's office at tlie city hall with an expression of extreme radiance overspreading his countenance. The clerks and others having business In the office at the time ceased their several pursuits. Experience had taught them that tlie aforesaid lawyer would say something of an entertaining character. "Gather round, boys,” he said. “I haven dandy for you this morning.” The speaker paused. The others silently waited for what was coming. "Now listen carefully,” resumed the lawyer, "and note the beauty of tlie connection between the three sections of this little couundrum. Here it is; 'lf the postmaster should visit tlie zoo and while there be eaten by the wild animals, what o’clock would It be?' ” There was another pause. Finally the clerk in charge of the dockets venturned tlie answer, “It would be all day witli the postmaster.” “Wrong, entirely wrong,” commented the lawyer. "I didn't ask what time. 1 asked what o'clock would it be.” A third pause. Then by general consent the answer was requested. The lawyer gayly announced, “Ate p m.” Before tlie gathering had recovered the lawyer had flitted from the room and was headed for the court of appeals to try the postmaster zoo wild animals conundrum on the higher tribunal.—Washington Star. A Gentle Hint. Little Bobby had been forbidden to ask for dessert. The other day they forgot to serve him, and as Bobby is very obedient he remained silent, although much affected. “Josephine.” said the father, "pass me a plate.” “Won’t you have mine?” cried little Robby. “It is very clean."—London Tit-Bits.

Ischia was again visited in 18811, but did not get off as easily as before, coming out of the wreck with 10.000 dead and missing. The great calamity of the nineteenth century was the great convulsion in Java in IKB3, which is said to have killed not less than 120,000 persons. To Spell Shakespeare's Name.
