Rheumatlsmj Is a blood disease and only a blood remedy can cure it. So many people make the mistake of taking remedies which at best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, Greencastle, Indiana, says: "For years I have suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism, which the best physicians were unable to relieve. I took many patent i medicines but they did not seem to reach my trouble. I gradually grew worse until I was uumpOk able to take my food J**or handle myself in kK? any way; I was absobottles of S.S.S. relieved me so that I ^^^^9^^9^was soon able to move nay right arm; before lone I could walk across the room, and j when I had finished one dozen bottles was cared completely and am as well as ever. I now weigh 170." A Real Blood Remedy* S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema, and any form of blood troubles. If you have a blood disease, take a blood medicine?S.S.S. {guatantcedpurely vegetatable) is exclusively for the blood and is recommended for nothing else. It forces out the poison matter permanently. W e wil 1 GOOD BREEDING IN JAPAN. Wherein the Oriental Excelit the Western Born?Stories of Heara. Lafcadio Hearu has probably done more than any other man to make the western world acquainted with the real life of Japan. The story of this man's life, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is one of the strangest ever recorded. His mother was a Greek, his father an Irish officer in the EngHsh army. He early had to shift lor himself and eventually found his way to the limited States. Here he was reduced almost to the condition of a tramp, although he was finely educated and a man of rare gifts. At length ho secured employment in newspaper work, and then his rise to an exalted place in literature was rapid. A visit to the West Indies awakened in him the slumbering desire for a home amid greater refiuemtlit and more aesthetic influences than were to be found in America or Europe and where elimati conditions would be more to his liking. He,settled in Japan, married a Japanese wife, took a Japanese name, embraced the Japanese faith and became an oriental in evirv respect save birth. He is now a professor in the university at Tokyo. He is afflicted with an affection of the eyes which makes it impossible for bim to turn them iu their sockets. A story is told that he did his first work on an American newspaper in Cincinnati. It is said that he applied for work one night and was refused. Just then a message came to the editor to the effect that a murder liad been discovered at the gas works. All the reporters were out on assignments, and the editor turned to the uncouth applicant and asked him to look into the matter and report. Hcarn returned in the course of an hour or two and said that a man had been murdered and his body bad been thrown into one of the furnaces. Hear 11 was commissioned to "write it up." Some time later, so the story goes, the editor went into the room where Hearn was writing and found him stretched at length on a table with a tablet under hrs face on which he was writing, his affliction making it easier for him to write in that position. The - editor picked up several of the sheets and perused the delicate handwriting. He was amazed at the literary quality and laid bis hand approvingly on the writer's shoulder. A half savage growl was the response. "Oh, that's all right!" said the editor. "You may give us all that kind of stuff you can." Hearn's story is known as "The Gashouse Murder" and is regarded as a reportorial classic. It secured for him a permanent position and opened the door to his future success.' The Boston Journal has a somewhat different story and relates it after this fashion: "They were talking at the Porphyry about Lafcadio Hearn's book, 'Gleanings In Buddha Fields.' 'Do you know why Hearn determined to live in Japan':' asked the professor. 'After he left New Orleans he went to Cincinnati, where he did newspaper work, lie soon suffered terribly from au enlarged and projecting eye that disfigured him and made him grotesque. He was stared at, he was mocked and insulted, and, what was even worse, lie was pitied openly. A sensitive man, he kept the house during the day and took exercise only at night. Occasion called him to Japan. To his amazement, in that country nobody, not eve 11 a humorous boy, showed by sign or word that the sti anger was disfigured or set apart in iav ern, street, shop, Held. Mr. 1learn was treated as though he were a normal being. Thankful and overcome, he said to himself, "Here is the laud of true civilization, and here will I live and die." He has taken to himself a Japanese wife, he is known by a Japanese name, and the last I heard from him he was | professor of English in a Japanese uni- ; versity.' "'Such civilization,' said the tele- i phone expert, 'must be the result of j generations of training.' Tim," an- > swered the professor. 'The rude Jcpa- J nese were undoubtedly put to death ; years and years ago. 1 have seen much I of their country, and never have I i found there a boy who by look or gesture would express surprise at any dress or speech or habit that might seem to him outlandish. How different- it is here in Boston! And yet there has been improvement. I remember that I was ! one of the first to wear a helmet sun ! hat. Boys jeered, women giggled, old ; crusted Bostonians looked at me superciliously and suspiciously, expressmen : and hackmen would often address me j jocosely or coarsely from their vantage . seat. I have sometimes thought that the | yearly execution on the Common of the conventionally rude would make much for civic civilization. But if this cere- j mony had been performed years ago j the town might have been depopulut- I ed.' " . The Sinters aud the Silver. Two young wcimn, sisters, lived ! with their widowed mother in a small ! country place. There had been some attempt at burglary and not a few tramps around. cue day the sisters decided that they would not leave their silver in the dining room, but remove it up stairs. They got a large clothes j basket aud heaped it full of the heavy silver. By their united efforts they tugged it to th? ron of the stairs, wheu the j elder sister stopped i:n' oiliek. "\v ocre mi* you tniii^' to take it':" she asked. "Why, to your room, of course, niv dear," replied tho younger>i>ter. "Not by any means." replied the ohU-r. "Wo will tako it iu your room." "I guess not." said the younger. "I would latlit*r lose it than havo it thorn." Tho result was that tiny loft it at tin- top of the stairs, in handy form for the burglar to examine it without inconvenience and carry olf all that lie wanted of it. The next day they took it back to the dining room, neithir making any comment, and tin re it staid in future, us it always had.? Outlook.

I The most costly leather now in the market is known to the trades as j "pum? leather." American tanners years ago discovered the secret of making Russia leather, with its peculiarly pungent and lasting odor, but the secret of making piauo leather is known only to a family of tanners in Thuiingia, Germany. This leather has but one use?the coveiing of piano keys. A peculiar thing about it is that the skins from which it is tanned are prepared almost entirely in America. It is a particular kind | of buckskin. The skki of the common red, or Tirginian, deer will not make the leather, a species of the animal kuown as the gray deer, and known only in the vicinity of the gieat nothein lakes, alone furnishing the material. The German tanners have au agency in the west which collects the skins of this deer from the Indians and the half breed hunters, who supply the maikrt. When the skins are returned to this country as piano leather they cost the piauo manufacturers from $15 to $18 a pound. The world's supply of this vivaluable and necessary material is supplied by the Kutzcbmau family of tanners, who have six establishments in Germany, the largest in Tuuiingia. Rattlssnakes as a Mca^s of Grace. From that prolific land of good stories comes the following: An old fellow had three boys, bad old boys, Tom, Dick and Harry, for short, so bad that the old mau could really only claim precedence through l,i<5 more! Thnir fov llimffi iilO > & O* X U\. ii +-/ Ul^> \%U T * V ? games of old sledge and drinking bouts were the scandal of the neighborhood. It chanced that Tom was bitten by a rattlesnake and with the messenger for the doctor went a runner for a well known old Methodist parson. The miuister came, lt.-verently kneeling beside the bed of the thoroughly frightened Tom he put up the following petition: ' Ou Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes. Lord send one to bite Dick and one to bite Harry and oh Lord in thine infinite wisdom send the biggest SDake in Georgia to bite the old man for nothing but rattlesnakes can biiug this ungodly set to repentance. Postal Savings Banks. Pittsburg Post. The government savings batiks have been succussful in Europe, but conditions there are vastly different from what they are in the United States. We believe all the good results of a savings bank system, under Federal control, can be obtained from carefully guarded State banks. The deposits in ISOGby nearly (>,000,000 of people of about $2,500,000,000 in State savings banks and building and loan associations does not indicate that any considerable number of people iu the United States have so little confidence in banks and other monetary institutions that they put their savings up the chimney or bury them in the ground.

Professor Swift says, "The thickness of tlie'nieteoroidal stream is loo.oon miles and tlte duration of the show* r is equal to the time of the diagonal passage of the earth through it. usually from midnight to dawn." In- adds, "As there is I ii i .. i . e i :.i. . ... x | a llgni MKiwir in inii!iiiM \u( .iinn.il>cr we know that there is a vast ring formed by the comet's tail and that the immense shoal i:i one portion is the product of the (xplodcd comet itself, through which wo pass onco every Jd years and a day." The nieteoroids arc dark bodies, and it is only when tlicy pass into the earth's atmosphere, that they arc ignited by tiiction and become visible for a lew seconds. The stream makes a revolution around the sun in about Ik!1., years, and by consequence the earth passes through it in a new place < ach year. The length of the swarm is so enormous that, although at perihelion it moves at the rate of nearly h"> miles a second, yet it takes it two years to pass the earth, so that when its hinder part is still with us its advancing side will have reached the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. Is'otwithstanding this extent it is but a fraction of the entire orbit. Professor Swift says, "This great cluster will reach the earth's orbit about June 1, 1S5W, but the earth will not have arrived there then, hut will be due nearly six months later, when our planet will plunge into the swarming mass and for at least live hours we shall experience a literal rain of lire."?Baltimore Sun.

Dr. Hull believes, however, that this Lrough is interrupted by considerable flexures and disturbances, and that it cannot be expected to compensate for the possible exhaustion of the Lancashire and midland areas. Nor, though In; considers that it must extend under the channel toward Dover, does he think that it could be worked under the tea to any extent with prolit, as. except at an enormous depth, the difficulties of intruding water would be too great. Taking each coalfield separately, Dr. Hull discusses its probable lateral extension under overlying strata, and, on the basis tliaf* about 4.0UU feet represents tbe downward limit of practical working, he arrives at estimates in round numbers of the amount of coal that will be available at the end of the century. The total for the United Kingdom is 81,683,000,000 tons. As the output of coal for 185MI was over 1 bo,000,000 tons, on the extremely improbable assumption that the; rate of production, which lias more than doubh d since 18G0, will remain practically stationary, these figmos of Dr. Hull would give a life of about 400 years to our coal mines. Within this period, then, an enormous readjustment of social conditions, and probably of commercial conditions, is bound to occur.?London Spectator. A Ouiet Family. The French minister of for* lirn affairs, it is said, asked the kin;: of fcjiain why ho did not leave his foreign minister at home to take charge of things.

"Yes, but his nature is even less benevolent. He would not only have seized my throne, but cut off my head as quickly as I returned." "You all seem en excellent terms together," exclaimed the astonished Frenchman. "Exactly," said the king, "and. as I like to be on good terms with them, I always take them along." Wayside Wells. The caution uttered by Mr. C. F. Wingate, sanitary expert, against indiscriminate drinking from wayside wells by bicyclists or other travelers is one that it will be well to heed. Mr. !
