The RightRemedy The disastrous effects of potash and mercury, which the doctors always prescribe for Contagious Blood Poison, should convince anyone that these are not the proper remedies for this horrible disease. Instead of forcing the poison from the system, and getting rid of it forever, potash and mercury only bottle it up, and by driving in the outward appearance of the disease, induce the patient to think he is being curtd. But he sees his mistake before long, when . his joints become stiff and his bones r ache?often his hair will fall out by the handful and if he follows the doctor's advice and continues to take his medicine, his finger nails will drop off. There is a cure for this destructive disease, though no doctor has ever yet cured it. Of course they may pronounce a patient cured, but the disease has never failed to return, with increased severity. S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is a permanent cure, and is the only remedy free from harmful ingredients. It is the only blood remedy which is guaran? teed purely vegetable, and for twenty years its proprietors have offered one thousand dollars reward for rtroof that it contains a particle of potash, mercury or other mineral ingredient. ? k Mr. W. R. Newman, }$ /y/ a well-known young >'? various other treat-ments, but found no relief until betook S.S.fj. He writes: *'I was afflicted with blood poison and the best doctors did me no good, though I took their treatment faithfully. In fact I seemed to get worse all the while. I took almost every so-called blood remedy, but they did not seem to reach the aisease and had no effect whatever. I was disheartened for it seemed that I would never be cured. At the advice of a friend I then took S.S.S. and began to improve. I continued the medicine and it cured me completely, building up my health and increasing my appetite. Although this was ten years ago, I have never yet had a sign of the disease to return." Mr. E. L. Hite, also of Staunton, had the same disease,and 1 his experience was W? similar to the above. yO "S. S. S. is cer- ^ 1 tainly far ahead of all other blood rem- rl edies, for it cures' ' oases they cannot fy touch. Iwastreated T " tit-re by several good doctors and took various blood remedies, but they did me no good. I then took S. S. S. and was cured completely and permanently, for I have never" been troubled with the disease since. I have recommended S. S. S. to others similarly afflicted, and have never known it to fail." S. S. S. is the right remedy for Contagious Blood Poison, because it goes direct to the seat of the disease and forces :i it.- Ti. 111 ? it Hum luc 11 win cure aaj case of Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Eczema, Catarrh or other blood disease of the most obstinate nature.

Well Worth remembering. Distances at cea aro measured iu " miles, just as they are on land, but the speed of a ship at sea?that is, the number of miles she makes through the water iu one hour of time?is measured iu knots. There is therefore a difference . fu the meaning of 1 he word "mile" and "knot." They are no more synonymous than are the words "distauce" and "speed," to which they are correlated. Tt is well to bear in mind, in speakiDg cr writng cf nautical matters, this distinction?that a mile is a unit of distance, bnt a knot is a uuitof speed. There are two kinds of miles?a statute or land mile and a nautical or sea mile. A statute mile is 5,280 feet long. It is our standard of itinerary measure adopted from the English, who in turn adopted it from the Romans. A Roman military pace, by which distances were measured, was the length of the step taken by the Roman soldiers and was approximately o feet long. A thousaud - - * >,i i r ' of these paces ware canea m uanu ? ' mille. The English mile is, therefore, a purely arbitrary measure, enacted into a legal measure by a statute passed during the reign of Queen Elisabeth. It has no connection with any scale in nature. %$\A nautical mile, on the other hand, is equal in length to one-sixtieth part of the length of a degtve of a great circle of the earth. But the circumferenco of the earth is nowhere a trnc circle. Its radius of curvature is variable. Hence the nautical mile, as a matter of fact, depends for its length.upon the shape as well as the size of the globe sailed over, and hence, strictly speaking, the length of the nantical mile should vary with the latitude, from 6,046 feet at the equator to 6,109 feet at the pole. Such extreme accuracy is n& neces"V - v sary in navigating^and cannot be well attained without uudoo labor. The English admiralty, therefore, has adopted feet as the length of a nauticah .mile, which corresponds with the length ^ - of one-sixtieth ofa degree, or one minute of arc of a great circle in latitude 48 degrees. The uniteff>oast survey has Kt adopted the value of the nautical mile "as equal to one-sixtieth port of the length of a degree on the great circle of a sphere whose surface is equal to the surface of the earth." This gives the length of one nautical mile as equal to 6,080.27 feet, which is very nearly the value of the admiralty + **.*' mile adopted in the English navy. Practically the nautical mile is 800 feet longer than the statute mile. In other words, one nautical mile is equal to 1.1515 statute miles, or one statute mile is equal to 0.869 nautical mile. Multiply nautical miles by 1.1515 and the product will be statute miles, or multiply statute miles by 0.869, and ^ the product will be nautical miles. A knot is in length a nautical mile? that is, 6,080 feet. But it never, correctly speaking, means anything more H| or less than a nautical mile an hour. When saying that A ship has a speed of 20 kDots, it means that in ODe hour of time she can go 20 nautical miles, precisely in the way that a 2:40 horse means that a horse in 2 minutes and 40 seconds of time can trot one mile. Remember, then, that it is erroneous to use knot as synonymous with mile; so, too, is it an error to say so many kuots 'an hour?for the word knots alone signifies the time as well as the rate of progress of the ship during the time. Another point tu bear in mind is that though tlie measure of distance at sea is called, like the measure of distance on land, a mile, yet distances_at sea _are always measured 111 nautical mile?, never in statute mile?, and in both cases ! the single word mile is significant j enough to convey the intended meaning. To say that the distance from New York to Southampton is 51,000 sea or nautical miles it tautological, but it would he woise still to say, as many often do, that the distance is C.OCO knots.?Harper's Hound Table. Holme* on Hoarding Houses. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote: "To think of it! Not even a dog to lick his hand or a cat to pur and rnh her fur against him! Oh. these boarding house?!

A Sketch of the Author of That Widelr Popular Hymn. The recent proposal to celebrate the association of Angastns Montague Toplady with Trinity college, Dablin, 1ms placed the author of "Rock of Ages" once more on the borders of the living laud, says the London Sandfly Magaeiue. Iu truth, there is some need to have the name of Toplady recalled to us, for, although everybody knows his famous hymn, tbo man himself is all but forgotten. Yet Toplady was a notable character iu the theological circles of bis time. Toplady was the sou of a major in the army and was born in 1740 at Farnham, iu Surrey. His father was killed at the siege of Carthagena, before the boy was a year old, and the future preacher was thus left solely to the care of his widowed mother ?a sister, by the way, of Rev. Mr. Bate, the rector of St. Paul's, Deptford. Like Charles Wesley, ht was a pupil at Westminster school, from which he passed in due time to Trinity college, Dublin, his mother having removed to Ireland. Accordiug to Toplady's own account, his conversion was brought ? about when ^gjsa?*ady by hearing preacher named Morris in a baruat a -place called. Cody main. He died cf coDsnmption in 1778. Toplady, besides being a laborious 6tudent, bad early employed himself In the diversion of versemaking. Indeed, he printed a little volume in Dublin in 1759, when he was ODly 19. Later on, wrhilp Broad Ileinburv. he issued a collection of no fewer than 4J9 "Psalms aDd Hymns For Public and Private Worship," a considerable number cf which were from his own pen. There are something like 133 hymns attributed to Tcplady, but only a very few of these have attained to anything like popularity. Indeed, if wo except "Rock of Agej^" " Your Harps Ye Trembling Saints," and perhaps "Object of JNIy First Desire," we shall bo safe iu saving that Toplady's hymns have quite passen into oblivion, or at least ate remembered %only by the curious in sueh matters. Curiously enough this favorite hymn was written by Toplady for a controversial purpose, and it was the Wesleys against whose doctrine the author desired to protest. Betting With tv Judge. There is evidently a certaiu laxity of demeanor allowed in the proceedings of courts of justice in the up country districts of somo of the colonies, if the following case may be taken as an oxample: It happened at Cala, a little place iu the Queenstowu district of the cape. The trial was for sheep stealing?a probably not unusual occurrence iii .hat part of the world?the stealing of sheep being for some occult reason a crime to which every new district is peculiarly susceptible. All of a sudden the court was startled by the prisouer iu the dock, who was evidently of a sporting tendency, leaning forward aud offering to bet the judge aajr a sovereign im?. me view uu was taking of the case was not a correct one. Order having been restored, the judge went on with his charge. The jury retired and .subsequently returned into court with a verdict of not guilty. Instead of hastily leaving the court the prisouer remained in the dock, busily engaged in searching his pockets. "What are you waiting for?" asked the judge. "Trying to find that half sovereign," returned the erstwhile prisoner. "Half sovereign?" queried the judge. "Yes, "was the answer, "you were right after all in your view of the law. I lost that bet I wauffd to make, and now I want to pay up."?Strand MagaA Valuable Prescription.

Parchen aud Henry Klein have returned from a trip tr? Cascade county. Everything went well on the trip out, bet returning 'bey encountered a heavy i thunderstorm with a fall of rain, and | iu a few minutes the road was made al! most impassable. The soil is thick clay, of the order know:) in some localities as gumbo, and when a little water comes in contact with it a substance not unlike glue i? the result. The wheels soon became so weighted with the stuff that travel iu the wagon was impossible, and it was resolved to take chauces afoot. There is a peculiarity about gumbo that it sticks like fly paper to everything tbat^ oj^?cUicnu't mart rt 1r remain, attached to, aud it somehow won't stick to the ground long enough to step out of it. The members of the party first tried tiptoeing along. Gradually the sticky substance accumulated under the balls cf their feet until they were lifted far from the surface of tho ground, aud still it accumulated more and more". Gumbo is not as light as Rome other substances either. Lach foot that a pedestrian raises from the ground adds several pounds to his burden of woe. There is a limit to a man's carrying capacity. When he. has acquired a stilt on each .foot that weighs 125 pounds or so, he feels liko stopping to rest or rid himself of the burden, or both. Mr. Parehen was the first, it is said, to try to kick himself loose from his appendage of mud. Poising himself on one heavily laden foot, lie kicked out with the other with all his might, but one can't kick gumbo from his shoes. The stuff has been known to resist the efforts of tho pick. Mr. Parehen had not calculated on that. When he kicked, the momentum of the heavy weight carried him forward on that foot, and to save himself and recover his balance he was forced to thrust his other foot forward with considerable vehemence. That foot, too, was heavily laden with the same sort of mud, and the momentum of it had a similar effect. As each foot became heavier by the accumulated weight of gumbo each other foot, became heavier, too, so that the increasing brake upon the pedestrian's speed was compensated for by the increasing momentatn furnished. The accumulation had grown to alarming figures, if expressed in pounds, when Mr. Parehen encountered an up grade and was sailed.

Jtxmiion'n ? ud Diet. Tbcro is nothing like dealing with large figures, aud no doubt the statement by a scientific persou that Londoners driuk in the course of a year 1,000 tons of mud will appear to'many to disclose a terrible aud most dangerous state of things. Nothing could be further from the truth. A thousand tous of mud would mean, perhaps about half a pouud of mud to each person. It will be certainly not too much to assume that each half pound of mud docs not contain more than two ounces of solid matter, probably lnnch less. Now it is certain that in the course of the three or four windy days in March each person in the air all day will draw in fully an ounce of dust, as much as he will swallow in ^ator during fix months. A railway traveler who takes a few hours' journey in dry weather has but to look at the state of his coat and of the carriage seat to form an idea of the amount- of dust that must have entered his mouth, tho majority of which on touching the palate and tongue is converted into mud and swallowed. Thus, then, it will be seen at once how many infiuitesimally small and how absolutely innocuous is tho daily portion of this 1,000 tons of mud swallowed by Londoners and how little cause there is for alarm in the array of figures piled up by the scieutifiq^investigator, who may frighten weak minded people, but does not in tho slightest degreo affect the ordinary man or excite in him any feeling whatever save indifference.-?London Standard. . An Indian Prince's Hunting Camp. In Tim Century II. W. Seton-Karr | tells of his experiences "After Big Game In Africa and India." In India the author was tho guest of an Indian prince, the niaharajah of Kuch Brhar, and he thus describes the lattcr's huuting camp: As we approached it between the patches of cultivation round the cluster j of grass huts which constituted tho i village of Simlagori, the fires, teuts I aud lights in all directions and thedark j figures of crowds of servants made it appear nse a mnuary encampment. /v native sentry kept guard over the mabarajah's tcct, which was placet* some what at one side. In the middle of the camp rose a large dining tent, and the tents which were intended for the guests were placed in a row on each side of the camp. Each of these tents was a large double roofed structure cf about 20 feet by 12, internal measurement, supported on two massive hamboo uprights and a crossbar. A space behind, between th? inner and the outer wall, formed a bathroom, which was so op lied with a large tin bath and an elaborate washstaud. The floor cf my tent was covered with a thick carpet. The bedstead was of wood, with clean white pillows ami sheets, colored blankets and mosquito net. There were co;i j veuicnt. pockets in the gay lining of tbo i tent, and two armchairs, a table and a ] large lamp completed the furniture. j The tents" of the other guests were equally comfortable, an;l the name of I each of us was neatly printed ou a I placard hung outside in order to assist i us iu recognizing our respective tents, : the external appearance beiug exact!}' the .snnv\ On tho carpet where a portion ( f the roof of the Hitting tent pro-' jerted so as to form a kind of open shelter were a table with tea service and some armchairs.

Congressman Hepburn of Iowa tells how ho once got back a ?2,*000 office by knowing how to pronounce Sioux. "I had been chief clerk," he says, "of the Iowa house of representatives for sovI cral terms, but the wheel of political fortune had finally brought in a house that was not as friendly as I could wish. Another candidate appeared, and he and I had a warm fight, with the result that he defeated me by a few votes in the Republican caucus. The lionse was organized, and this man was duly elected chief clerk. It so happened that the first paper he had to read was a com ninuication relative to the Sionx Indians. The name 'Sioux' appeared very frequently, and the new clerk persisted in calling it 'Si oux,' to thMiisgust of the old westerners, who /accustomed to the correj|^^^^Bh^on ivcs^ "As soon asThe the lirst day one of ^^jj^^Hpncan for a caucus.

The operation of the feminine mind sometimes?perhaps always?passes understanding. An Evauston spinster who presides over a fine resideuce in that classic suburb sent for the liostler the other day and gave him instructions to drown a litter of four half grown kittens which had becomo somewhat troublesome. Three of tbo kittens were easily captured, but the fourth ran under the barn, and the hostler in trying to dislodge it with a polo unintentionally broke one of the animal's legs. Thereupon three of the kittens were given their qujetus in the lake, but tho fourth was taken into the lronse and tenderly cared for with splints and bandages. "But why not let me put this critter out of misery, mum, like the rest of 'em?" asked the felino executioner. "What!" exclaimed Misa Prim.
