SORES AND ULCERS. Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless the blood is in poor condition —is sluggish, weak and unable to throw cd the poisons that accumulate in it. The system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the system. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleansing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing from t£e system A CONSTANT DRAIN effetematter. UPON THE SYSTEM. When this has l>eeu accomplished the dis. charge gradually ceases, and the sore or ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse, and eventually to destroy the bones. Local applications, while soothing and to some extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter how apparently hopeless your condition, even though your constitution has broken down, it will bring relief when nothing else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood necessary to heal the sore and nourish the debilitated, diseased body. Mr, J. B. Talbert, Lock Box >45, Winona, Miss., says: “ Six years apo my leg from the knee to the foot was one solid sore.

The American Soldier. Tb-jt West Point id the best military school lu the world is conceded by all ii.qinrtinl critics. Its methods transf >r:n the average raw youth into the Loll.!, able, n Hued and highly educated < files ref our army. He is pre-eminent-ly taught the "habit of command,” which, as a rule, lie uses without any i f t’.ie arrogance shown by officers of tome of tlie armies of Europe, notably that of Gern'.r.ny. He is made to realize that he commands men who are as sensitive as they are brave and who appreciate and respect a character combining generosit.v, kindness, firmness and. r.bcve "11 else, physical and moral courage. These traits of character are carefully cultivated at West Poiu* with a result that, besides having the best enlisted personnel, we have in the United States army, without question or doubt, the best trained and most capable gentlemen as officers. — Army and Navy Journal. An Arctic BKI of Fare. The Eskimos at home in their native frozen wilds do not believe in cooking. Their meat, be it seal, fish, venison, trout, salmon, whale blubber or codfish, they devour in its natural raw state and with the same gusto with which the average small boy tackles a watermelon. As for bread and vegetables, they have none. They set their seal oil lamps gwing, suspend a soapsluiie dish filled viltb snow over It, and with the water thus obtained they mix an equal quantity of molasses procured from the Hudson Bay company. That they drink and are happy. That is the sum total of an arctic cuisine. A Flame Combination. If a small quantity of chlorate of potash be powdered and mixed with an equal quantity of powdered sugar, a candle may be lighted by means of the mixture without matches. Place a little of it in the depression around the wick of a candle that has been previously used and then touch the mixture with a glass rod the end cf which has been dipped in oil of vitriol. It will burst into flame, lighting the candle. . .... . 4. An Elaborate Bank Note. The most elaborate bank note is the hundred ruble note of Russia, of the time of the Empress Catherine, which is a gorgeous piece of paper about 4 inches by 10. The note is barred from top to bottom with all the colors of the rainbow blended as when thrown through a prism. In tlie center in bold relief is a large, finely executed vignette of the Empress Catherine I in black.—London Tit-Bits. Testimony of the None. An eminent physician now proclaims that the ancient and general opinion that the nose Is an Index to character is a fallacy. And it may be proclaimed with fully as much confidence that there is nothing which any eminent physician knows to be so that other eminent pbyclcians do not know to be “ain’t so.”—Louisville CourierJournal. Declined the Honor. "rerklns,” said Colonel Hankthunder, “you have named a new brand of whisky after me, have you not. sub?” “I have taken tliat liberty, colonel,” answered the di.-*Her. “Well, sub," rejoined the colonel, "I shall have to nsk you to call It something else.

ASSASSIN ON TRIAL No Defense Offered In the Trial of the Murderer of President. u THE STATE ACTS PROMPTLY It Did Not Take Long to Get Down to Business In the Trial of Leon Czolgosz the Vito Assassin of President McKinleyJury Quickly Impanneled. Buffalo, Sept. 24.—The probable duration of the Czolgosz trial, it is believed, can lie placed at two full days. When District Attorney Penney was asked by .Justice White as to the time he would take in the presentation- of his case, he declared that he would conclude today. Judge Titus for the defense was non-committal, however, and merely replied: "That depends upon the turn things take.” It is not probable that any defense will be put In, owing to the character of the prisoner and his refusal to help his attorneys in any way to produce evidence which they could use in his favor. The idea of an attempt to enter the question of his sanity is not thought of in view of the reports of the two alienists who have recently examined him. and there is ground for the belief that the trial may conclude with this afternoon's session. In securing the jury yesterday technicalities were not raised by examining counsel, but it was significant that every man who said he had not formed an opinion on the case was excused by the district attorney. Those who acknowledged they had formed an opinion or stated that they were prejudiced, but admitted that their opinion could be changed by evidence, were accepted by each side. Before the day was over the entire panel had been sworn, the jurors had listened to a description of the Temple of Music, where the crime occurred, had seen photographs of the interior of tliat structure and had been told by throe surgeons what caused the death of the president. Much of the afternoon was taken up with the testimony of three physicians. 1 woof whom had attended the president during his last days, while the other i>erformed the autopsy. The latter, Dr. Harvey IL Gaylord, was the first of the trio to oe called. He tiescribed the location of the wounds in the stomach ami the direction of the bullet. The cause of death was attributed to the gunshot wound, but. fundamentally, lie said, it was due to the changes back of the stomach, in the pancreas, caused by the "breaking down” of the material of the pancreas as a result of the passage of the bullet. Dr. Herman Mynter’s testimony was of importance inasmuch as it brought out the fact that the reason why the fatal bullet had not been located lit the autopsy was because of the unwillingness of the president's relatives to have the body further mutilated by their instruments. Dr. Mynter and Dr. Mann, who followed him. both tes titled that the primal cause of death was the gunshot wound in the stomach. One effect of this wound was. they said, to cause the gangrene to form in the pancreas, and the sjait of poisoned tissue was as large as a silver dollar. The prisoner t'zolgosz evinced no interest whatever in the preliminary proceedings, but as the testimony was introduced he paid more attention to what was said and looked at the various witnesses closely. * The Doctors Upheld. New York. Sept. 20.—The Medical News in its Issue of tomorrow will print a review of President McKinley’s case from a medical point of view. The article recites the circumstances of the shooting and reprints the official report of the autopsy and certain unofficial statements credited by the press to the doctors in attendance. The review of the case doses with the following reference to the doctors: "They did their work skillfully and judiciously, their behavior was dignified, restrained and worthy of the best traditions of the profession, and they had the misfortune, when success seemed to have been secured, of seeing it overthrown by a complication which could not have been foreseen nor avoided. They deserve our admiration and sympathy, not our criticism.” It Was Loaded. Marshfield, Wis., Sept. 23.-While handling a loaded shotgun Monday the 9-year-old son of John Adler accidentally discharged the weapon, the load squarely hitting his 11-year-old sister, who was standing near. The shot entered the child's head and neck, terribly mangling the face and practically tenting the head from the shoulders. More Insurgents Surrender. Manila. Sept. 23.—Aguhnddo's bodyguard, Major Alhambra, two captains, two lieutenants, and 2!> men with 28 rifles, surrendered about 4<» miles north of Baler. Island of Luzon, to Captain George A. Detchmendy of the 22d United States Infantry Saturday, took the oath of allegiance ami were released. Most Again Arrested. New York. Sept. 23. The police of ' Newtown, borough of Queens, Inst night arrested Johann Most, the anarchist, ns a disorderly person. He was haranguing a crowd In a saloon in which was displayed a red flag.

A Far Look. Three visitors traveling in the Isle of Man thought they would visit Snaefell, the king of Manx mountains. When walking up toward the mountian, they espied an old shepherd coming toward them. They thought they would take a rise out of him, so one accosted him, saying: “They tell me, old man, you can see England, Scotland, Ireland And even as far as America from the top of this mountain.” “Oh, yes,” said the old man. “If you will come with me, I will show you much further than America.” So, chuckling to themselves, they decided to follow him. After trudging for about half an hour up the mountain side in a boiling sun they began to feel rather fagged and kept asking the shepherd how much further they had to go. He kept urging them on a little further until at last the three visitors lay down on the grass and said they would go no further for any sight. “Now,” said the old man, "if you will sit here long enough you will see the moon.” The Tanning Process. The slowness of the process of tanning is largely due to the difficulty with which the tannin penetrates into the hide. As the penetration progresses the outer part of the hide becumes.converted into leather and is thereby made impervious; consequently the rate of penetration decreases. Months < f soaking in the tan pit are therefore necessary for thick hides. Many attempts have been made to hasten this absorption of tannin by hide. The methods used include circulating the tan liquor so that fresh portions are continually presented to the hide, forcing the liquid through the bide by pressure and using strong aqueous extracts of tanning materials. It has been sought to attain the same object by passing a current of electricity through the vat in which the hides are suspended. One such process has been found to shorten the time of tanning to a quarter of that necessary when no current is used, and the leather is said to be unexceptionable.—Electrical Review. The Eskimos. The old tradition that the Eskimos are a people of small stature is with out foundation. On the contrary, in Labrador, Baffin Land and all around Hudson bay the height of the men is probably above rather than below the average of the human race; but, as a rule, the women, although very strong, are considerably shorter than the men. They are brave, industrious, provident and communicative, in all of wbi< li characteristics they contrast with the northern tribe of Indians. Wawassee. Indiana June! to Sept. 30, G. R.

Transmisnion of Sound. A striking example of the magical effects capable of being produced by any one conversant with the laws of sound was shown by the late Professor Tyndall in one of his lectures. He placed on the floor cf the room an ordinary guitar. No one was near, and yet some unseeu hand drew sweet music from it so that all could hear. The guitar was replaced by a harp, with the same result. A wooden tray was then substituted, and even from that Issued mysterious harmonies. The marvelous effect was simply due to the sound conducting quality of wood. In a room beneath and separated by two floors was a piano, and connecting the rooms was a tin tube containing a deal rod, the end of which emerged from the floor. The rod was clasped by rubber bands so as to close the tube, and the lower end of the rod then rested on the sound board of the piano. As the guitar rested upon the upper end of the rod the sounds were reproduced from the piano, and when the sound board of the harp was placed on the rod it seemed as though the actual notes of the harp were heard, the notes of the piano being so like those of the harp. As the professor said, “An uneducated person might well believe that witchcraft wns used In the production as this music.”—Chambers' Journal. Carried Weight. “What do you mean by saying the defendant's words carried weight with them?” “I mean, your worship, that he swore at me and then bit me with a brick.”— Exchange. It doesn’t take a good resolution long to find Its way to the bargain counter.— Chicago News. A Lons Walt. Katrine—l was reading this morning of a man who cooked his own break fast for 15 years. Max—He must have been very hungry when he finally got it done.-
