Simpson, one of the famous physicians of Indiana, of having a cure-all because his great reputation was established largely on one prescription, the most effective alterative or blood-purifier known. "No," he would remark, "it will not cure consumption, nor typhoid, nor any one of a hundred common dis eases. It simply purifies the blood. but it does that very thoroughly." What are the symptoms of poisoned, impure blood? They range all the way from the dreadful syphilis to a muddy complexion. They include inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, runping sores, erysipelas, pimples. boils, and a number of simi lar afflictions. All these yielded readily to Dr. Simpson's treatment. And during the forty years this prep aration has been on the market as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound It has never failed in a single case. The very worst cases of syphillis have been cured as well as all the other Mood diseases named above and the name compound has always given clear, clean complexions to those, oth erwise in good health. It is sold at $1.00 a bottle at all drug stores. The Chinese la-pa iu shape is almost Identical with the ancient Roman tuba. It give. four notes C G. D and IS.

iSpeclal Cable from the International news rservice.j (By La Voyageuse) Paris, March 7. Time is fleeting and the memory of the public, like that of individuals, is short. Already the residents of the French capital have lost first interest in the flood which has held Paris in its cruel grasp for j several weeks. Not that the danger and inconvenience resulting from the rise of the Seine has altogether disappeared, bu the French are a happyhearted, not easily cowed race, who quickly regain hope and their spirits after a misfortune. French system, method and official eufficiency, has, as usual, made itself felt in the crisis which has just passed. Prompt and effective action at the right time have saved the day. As a result of the stringent measures taken by the authorities, the danger of epi demic, following the conditions creat ed by the flood, has to a great extent disappeared. Not daunted by the death threaten ing waters, arrangements for the MiCareme (or Mid-Lent) festivities, have gone on. To make up for the customary annual Mardi-Gras celebration, which, under the circumstances, resulting from the floods, it was decided best to postpone. Parisians will enter into the carnival's spirit with even greater zest than ever. The feature of the street procession, which will be more than one mile in length, will be the large number of floats, that of the "Queen of Queens" being the most important and attract ive. Preceded by horsemen carrying banners and emblems, followed by sim ilarly decorated cars in which will be seated a "queen" for each province in France, attended by maids of honor in picturesque osumes, the "Queen of

These "queens" are selected by a vote from among the artisan classes. Many of them are "queens" of the markets where they are employed. The con-

fetti merchants will not do as large a business as usual because of the order Issued by the authorities limiting the amount of confetti throwing, through fear of clogging up sewers and street openings. The center of the fun, particularly the "battle of confetti," is generally near the Cafe de la Paix. It is said that many Americans intend "making things hum," at that point on this occasion. The generous and splendid aid given by residents and non-resident Americans through the immense flow of golden streams of dollars for the benefit of the sufferers by the flood has touched the heart of the entire French nation, with the result that today, more than ever, Americans are "kings" in Paris. 's Dms-YllguslDcs One often hears it said at home (in the United States) that women can walk about Paris unescorted without being annoyed by men who seek to address them. As a matter of fact, such a condition to a greater or less degree exists no more in Paris than in any large city in the United States, be it New York, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Cincinnati, Philadelphia New Orleans or any others.

Festival

a ft:-. on the part of ill-bred men as in the United States. It is not the custom however, for French women to go about much alone, even in the daytime Perhaps nowhere in the world is the home life and family tie as strong as in France. Mother and daughter are almost like sisters, hence their occu pations and diversions are usually sim ilar and they rarely go out unless in each other's company. Even after marriage a young woman usually does her shopping with her mother or some female relative or friend, not necessari ly for protection but from habit or choice. In nearly all large cities, whether in the United States or in Europe, there is a large percentage of male adventur ers and idlers from whose possible at tentions it is wise to shield young girls who would be unable to cope with them. From this fact has arisen the custom in France of their being ac companied when going out. The French policeman, when appeal ed to, is always ready to aid and pro tect a woman from unwarranted perse cution or insult by men in public plac es. . The law here is very strict about such matters. If a woman is troubled by the attentions of a man in public she can cause his arrest and have him taken to a police station, where a charge will be entertained against him and he may be fined or imprisoned But the drawback to this is that fewwomen of sensitive natures care to face the attending notoriety of being fol lowed through the streets, together with the policeman and the prisoner to the police station, while having to appear in court against the accused Hence, many prefer to undergo the an noyance of persistent cads, rather than make a public scene and thereby be compelled to undergo additional mor tification. HEW W. I). SERVICE The Western Union Telegraph Co. has put into operation today a new service known as Night Letter service which is handled in the same manner as regular telegrams, except that they are sent during the night and deliv ored by Messenger the following morn ing, these letters may be filed any time during the day up to midnight for delivery the following morning. Night letters must be written in plain Eng lish, code language is not permitted This service enables the public to send fifty words between Western Un ion offices in the United States for the same price as the day rate for ten words and one-fifth of the rate will be charged for each additional ten words or less. For example where the day rate is 25 cents for 10 words, night let ter rate will be 23 cents for 50 words ?.0 cents for 51 to 60 words, 35 cents for 61 to 70 words, 40 cents for 71 to 80 words, 45 cents for 81 to 90 words and 50 cents for 91 to 100 words, etc Where the day rate is more than cents for ten words the charge will be proportionately. The Western Union Company will call for these letters by messenger, receive them over the telephone or their counters, as suits the customer. - Thriftless.

A LAUGH ALL AROUND.

And, as Usual, The Wht Laughed Last Lughd Brat. "Common decency is cheap abroad." said the man who had just returned from his first trip to Europe. "During all the time I was on the continent I was subjected to discourtesy in but one instance, and I think I got away with it then, at that. "We were crossing on of the Swiss passes by diligence, or coach, and stopped off for luncheon at some little town. It was hot, and I suppose I made rather a comical sight in my hirt sleeves and black glasses, with j a nandKercmer over my collar, as l stepped out of the vehicle to the road. I suppose, too, that the brand of French in which I tried to ask questions was pretty ragged. "Anyway, a group of young Frenchmen waiting in a carriage while their team was changed saw in me their long lost original scream, and the way they laughed was convincing, if not flattering. They weren't backward about pointing out the real, racy bits in the picture either, and they only laughed harder when I glared at them mildly. Another American and 1 trudged off for lunch, and when we came back there was the bunch ready to take up the howl at me again. 1 looked at iny compatriot and he at me. I don't think either of us put the idea iu words, but we began. "We began to laugh. We fell into each other's arms and laughed. We held each other up and laughed. We laughed till the tears rolled down our cheeks. We laughed till we couldn't stand. We rolled into our coach, still laughing, taking inspiration for each outburst from a glance at the Frenchmen. "Well, sir, that bunch of Frenchmen just wilted. First they closed their mouths; then they lost their grins; then each one began squinting at the other, trying to make out what was wrong. Before we'd been at it two minutes they all discovered they needed a drink and sneaked off to the little hotel. We laughed till we saw the last of them, and then we laughed at the way we had turned the trick. Chicago Tribune. MAKING ICE. The Process Is Simpls, Though It Puzzled the Negro. A sailboat in which were a white man and several negroes bad just left the wharf near an ice factory at the foot of Main street, Annapolis, and was headed out the mouth of Severn river, toward a point on the Chesapeake. "Ye-e-th, thir," an old time colored man was lisping, "I like to git a job workin' round that air ice plant and see 'em make ice with fire." "I'll tell you how it is done, if you would like to hear my explanation," said the white man. "Ye-e-th, thir, I like to hear 'bout it." "Well, in the first place, they have a tank of ammonia, to which a small amount of beat is applied. It does not take much heat to convert the ammonia into vapor, aud even that heat is used up in causing the liquid to expand into a gas, or become latent, as it is called, so that the temperature is not materially affected. "Now, supiose the ammonia gas occupies a hundred times as much space as the liquid. It is evident that the liquid contains a certain amount of heat, which is afterward distributed over a hundred times the space first occupied. A cubic foot of the liquid becomes a hundred cubic feet of gas, and it is plain that a cubic foot of gas will contain only one-hundredth part of the heat originally in a cubic foot-of liquid; hence the gas is much colder than the liquid. "Now, this gas or vapor ls allowed to flow through pipes covered with salt water, which becomes extremely cold, but does not freeze, owing to the presence of salt. The fresh water desired to be frozen is put into large metal cans and placed in the cold salt water and allowed to freeze. "There is nothing mysterious about the process. It is, in fact, very simple. Do I make myself clear? Do you understand my explanation?" "Ye-e-ith, thir. yo esplanation's plain, but I suttenly would like to see 'em make that air ice with flre." Washington Star. His Quaint 8uggecon. A Frenchman who appears to have been of a thrifty turn of mind conceived the idea in 1878 that too much valuable time was being wasted In cleaning sardines when preparing them for the market. lie found a way of preparing them without cleaning them, and on this he took out letters patent. Apparently be had some slight misgiving as to whether the public would be perfectly suited with his invention, and so in his claim he makes this parenthetical entry: Fish put up by this process may be slightly unpleasant to the customer at first, but he soon gets used to it Mahala: - e Gold Medal Flour saves worry.
