A NOVEL BOAT. Schlosser’s Queer Craft to Carry Him to Cuba. If Tony Schlosser's spirit guardians continue to point out Cuba as his destination, Gen. Weyler will have a new enemy on his hands, but he will have hard work to decide just what it is. By this time Tony is pedaling his way down the Mississippi. Just how far Tony goes always depends on the spirits which Schlosser insists have taken the contract to guide him. The last trouble these spirit guides caused Tony uas a few months ago, when they ordered him to save his wages as a stone-

cutter in Cariro, 111., and build a boat wlieroin lie should start for Cuba, since the spirits intended him to tight the Spanish. So Tony built a eraft in which he will try to reach New Orleans. Tony himself expects to go on to Cuba, but people who have seen his strange craft hardly expect to hear from Tony at any point beyond New Orleans. ^7^’ A -< . CKAFT IN WHICH SCI! LOSSER W! LI. PAD - DI.E TO CUBA. By this time Tony is working his way down the Mississippi in a 15-foot boat. There are paddle wheels to the craft, and Tony, sitting facing the bow, works them by foot. In the bow are cooking utensils. Aft Is a long, narrow box, in which lie sleeps at night, covered snugly with a tarpaulin. The mariner is 40 years old, and came to this country from Westphalia | when 19. At Petroit, for which city i Tony went to Cairo four months ago, i lie built a similar boat, in which he | managed to keep right side up on the ! Detroit River. Tony's faith in ilie spirits that guide him is so unquestioning that tile voyage to Cuba may be prolonged indefinitely, since T'ouy is likely to tie up any number of times if he thinks the spirits prefer that to pedaling. Yet Tony's martial ardor is aflame for Cuba Libre. The voyage in a small craft down the i Mississippi is not without its perils, , for the great yellow stream is frequeut- ' ly swept by storms that pile the water , up into wates that make even the big j stern-wheel steamers, with their immense freeboard, tie up in a sheltered ; nook along shore. That Tony Scldosi ser could cross the gulf from New Orleans in his frail eruft is doubtful, for the tlulf is not always pacific. Tony’s enthusiasm for his trip has excited many other young men in the towns along the Mississippi, and they yearn for an opportunity to make their way to ''the ever-faithful isle,” there to tight for the independence of Cuba. In deed, a Cuban recruiting ojeer could j secure hundreds of eligible young men i in the Middle West and the South. 'fimes are not too good, and the chance I for adventure, coupled with an oppor tunitv to achieve fame on the held of battle, has aroused a martial spirit all through the West, as recent dispatches to the World show. Schlosser’s voyage, if it is not ended by disaster, will attract as much attention as did the trip down the Ohio and Mississippi in i a rubber suit made years ago by the swimmer, Paul Boyton. The crowds that Boy ton dred on his | extraordinary voyage were immense, i but if Schlosser's spirit guides do not “beach” him before he reaches New Orleans, he will not be lonely on his trip.—New York World.

Flayin’ Fossum. “Playin' possum” comes from the fact that the possum will feign sleep or death when pushed into sudden danger of being captured. But pains and aches never play that kind of a game. They never try to fool anybody, and go to work to Make up people, leaving no chance to feign sleep. On the other hand, there is a remedy known as St. Jacobs Oil that will lull a pain or an ache so that it won't wake up again in the cure that follows its use. Fains and aches are great or less in Intensity just in degree as we treat them. Prompt treatment with the best remedy- St. Jacobs Oil prevents their increase and by curing prevents their return. Every- , tiling is gained by taking pains and aches in time for a prompt and permanent cure, and there is nothing better than the use of St. Jacobs OH. Origin of tlic Sandwich. 'l'he Earl of Sji.ndwieh, an English nobleman of the last century, was a notorious gambler. He became so Ln f&tuated with the chances of the Ing table as to give little heed to tJiel hours ?or food or sleep. .This so dis-i turbed his Imusehokl and t ^r .innate J moot that his wife insistl*t»^£liat thej meals should be seiw«'d n t the hom >1 itppoln<t<nL xvlmtlu'r tin- innHter of feast w jis nt Home or nbro««l. Considering his comfort, however, the butler was orderetl to place in the carriage a little basket containing bread and meat cut in slices, that her liege lord m.Lght appease Ids hunger If his stay were prolm ged in the gaming hall. 'l'he practice became well known, and luncheons thus prejMired wore henceforth called “sandwiches.” Drunk for Twenty Years. A eorrespo ulent writes: “I was drunk on and off for over twenty years, drunk when 1 had money, sober when I hnd none. Many dear friends I lost, and numbers gave me good advice to no purpose; but, thank God, an angel hand came at last in the form of my poor wife, who administered your marvelous remedy, ‘AntlJag,’ to me without my knowledge or consent. 1 am now saved and completely transformed from a worthless fellow to a sober and respected citizen.” If “’Anti-Jug" cannot be hnd at your druggist, it wil be mailed in plain wrapper witii full directions how to give secretly, on receipt of (Ine Dollar, by the Renova Chemical Co..

Another instance of the difficulty a foreigner has with the EngllsJi language is given by a countryman of Goethe.

A prominent building owner, with years of experience, gave the following instructions to his architect: "I have had my experience with kalsomine and other goods claimed to be just as good as Alabastine. I want you to specify the durable Alabastine on all my wails: do not put on any other manufacturers' dope, if they furnish it for nothing. .Alabastine is right, and when I cease to use t I shall cease to have confidence in myself or my own judgment.” Tra osparent M I crops. in passing the great plate gln^s xvind .ws cf the shop-, every one has noticed that if the interior be dark and dingy on<’ g< is a xery good view of one's soil' ret'ci 'cd from the plate । g'a-- Rclh 1 < n- seen in a ear window at tii."lit are examples of the same thing. The transptirei t mirrors recontly invented by a German chemist Illustrate this pr iwipk. When the light and observer are on the retlectq lug side of a transparent mirror, one sees h s own reflection. But if the light Is <m the opposite one sees the objects beyond through the glass just as through an ordinary window. 'Pho mirrors are made by coating glass with a clicniical preparation of silver nitrate and other materials mixed up in a milliner that lias been patented by'the inventor.

Motherhood. x \ I^K A mother who is in good physical condition transmits , g \ to her children the blessings of a good constitution. ' The child fairly drinks in health from its mother’s robust constitution before birth, and from a healthy , t m , a^|, mother's milk after. I Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy Br

maternity? Do you know the meaning of what is popularly called those “longings,” or cravings, which beset so^ many women during pregnancy? There is something lacking in the ( mother's blood. Nature cries out and will be satisfied at all hazards. One woman wants sour things, another wants sweets, another wants salt things, and so on. The real need all the time is to enrich the blood so as to supply nourishment for another life, and to build up the entire generative system, so that the birth may be possible and successful. If expectant mothers would fortify themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for twenty years has sustained

thousands of women in this condition, there would be fewer disappointment® at birth, and they would not experience those annoying “longings.” In the following letter to Mrs. Pinkham, Mr.s. Whitney demonstrates th® power of the Compound in such cases. She says: From the time I was sixteen years old till T was twenty-three, I was troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when mv monthly periods came on. I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkham's’Vegetable Compound and was soon relieved. After 1 was married, the doctor said I would never lie able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and a half. Th® next time I commenced at once and continued to take your Compound through the period of pregnancy, and I said then, if I went my full time and the baby lived to be three months old, I should send a letter to you. My baby is now Seven months old and is as healthy and hearty as one could wish. “ I am so thankful that I used your medicine, for it gave me the robust health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to you; I never expected such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia E.' Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and may others who are suffering do as I did and find relief, and may many homes be brightened as mine has been.”—Mrs. L. Z. Whitnei, S George St., E. Somerville, Mass. C The Man who is Raising a Big Crop J —realizes that the harvest time is ahead, jr Ideal farming comprehends not only the growing' of the tallest grain—the m ^5 most tons-to-the-.icre of hay; the best farming —the farming that pays must /_ contemplate something more than this: for there is a harvest time, and just in proportion xs a crop is saved successfully, speedily and economically, in just ^9 3 that proportion may be measured the season’s profit or loss.
