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,

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

Some Nautical Information That I? 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.

"ROCK OF AGES."
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

: THE GUMBO OF MONTANA.
A Soil Wlirrh Has the Stnyliag QaaJitie"
of Glur.
H. M. 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. H9 secured implements

to their tails as big as footballs aud
smaller spheres of mod banging pendent
from their maues. Mr. Woods took
a hunting dog with him, aud the animal

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

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 us iu recognizing our respective tents,

were a table with tea service and
some armchairs. During the three

I was usually at 8, as we generally rcj
turned on the elephants from the jungle
! at n or ft, in time for afternoon tea and
! a comfortable, warm bath. Dinner was
i neatly served by a crowd of tho ruaka,

Ho Could Pronounce Sioux.
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

"As soon asThe

convened, this gentleman frose and
said: 'I move that the present chief
clerk be discharged ^ind that J. P. Hepburn,
the former chief clerk of this
body, be re-elected. We wa?t a man
who knows how to pronounce 'ISioux." '
The motion was adopted unanimously,
and I was reinstated because I knew
better than to call 'Sioux' 'Si-oux.' "

Three of tbo kittens were easily captured,
but the fourth ran under the

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

"What!" exclaimed Misa Prim.
