Scrofula I Is a deep-seated blood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. {guaranteedpurely vegetable ) is a real olood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal. Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who conld not relieve her. A ? specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash ! which almost ruined her constitution. She then took nearly every so-called blood medicine and drank , them by the wholesale, but they did not reach her trouble. Some one advised her to try ; S.S.S. and she very ; toon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After taking one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear j and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand ! dollars. Instead of drying up the poison } in my system, like * the potash and j arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was permanently rid of it." A Real Blood Remedy. S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, Bczema, Rhecypatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure a deep-seatea blood disease, but take a real blood remedy. Our books free upon appli- ?% cation. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. ^ ^ ^ ? - - ?

"All right," said the neighbor, "we are glad even to get the hen back, for we began to think that you never would pay for it" AMATEUR BOOKBINDING. How Paper Covered Hooks Mar 1> j Treated at Home. If you wish to bind for yours* If a paper covered book, carefully strip I ackward the paper cover, trim the frayed edges and lay the cover aside. With a sharp awl bore fresh holes through the book, as close to the back as may bo without danger of breaking. t?ew the leaves together lengthwise through these holes with a fine cord or coarse darning cotton, knotting it securely. Take a strip of cotton or linen cloth and sew singly over tbo back, following lino 5ii?ri stitches already taken, fas tening well. This strip must be made wide enough to allow an inch on each side to be pasted upon the boards which are to form the cover. Cut the two pasteboards with care, allowing a bit to extend beyond the leaves in length and depth, referring to any well bound volume as a model ?f proportion, the depth of the cover pro- j tecting the leaves. Having gocd flour paste, scalded but j not boiled, brush the l.?p of the muslin i loose at each side of the back and place the side board upon this strip, fitting it exactly, making sure that this adheres and beiDg careful to wipe away the , paste oozing out. Then paste over all the back, bringing down over the pasteboards an inch or more a generous backing of stout silesia of any color. This should 1)6 doubled in at the top and hot torn to strengthen tho silesia in its future wear. Next, having cut from stout wrapping 1 paper two pieces sufficiently large to J bring over top, bottom and front edges of the boards, brush the paper over its entire surface with paste and apply it dexterously to the boards, having its truest edge neatly applied to the silesia. Then folding over top, bottom and flirt r>nmnru aclnlil; ;is the liUUlf ^UV IUV VVAMVAU , sides are brought over upon the inside of what now may be called the cover. Lastly apply upon this tough paper the original front cover of the volume. If it has been soiled in the least, wash its face delicately with a cloth dipped in soapy water and dry it carefully. If the back of the original is presentable and has character worth preserving, paste that upon the back of tho new cover. Last of all paste within the -i fresh fly leaf. Then for each cover or half of the cover prepare a doublo sheet of pretty paper, possibly colored, onehalf of which shall be pasted perfectly to line the insides of the cover, the other left loose as an ornamental leaf. Before the silesia is quite dry with the bow of the scissors run along heavily the ridge of the board where it meets the buek of the book. Repeat this while the work is drying to insure a fixed depression, a gutter, which gives a finished style and admits easy play in opening and shutting the new bound book. Making sure that no splash of paste is overlooked, now place clean paper around the volume and lay it where it will rest evenly under a heavy weight. Before it is quite dry iron it well with a moderately heated iron, which should be moved discreetly over all the pasted parts, neither scorching nor ruffling the papers. In rebinding several books, if Iwvfi nnlv a little ill size. they may be brought to a uniform appearance by judicious suiting of the covers. Much of the contriving for bookbinding may be done before the paste work begins. If the measuring and cutting of the boards and the outer paper and inner and outer muslins be done at one time, the work is well begun and may j be left for the day. When at the real work of binding, one must move rapid- ] lyon, not doing half upon one book and as much upon the other, then going back to the first, but the first book must be entirely finished and put under press before the pasting upon the other begins. When once the brush is d.pped in the paste cup, it is better not to be interrupted, as imperfect drying discolors or blisters the paper and warps the boards. Attention and accuracy secure good results.?.New York Tribune. ? ? Seven Doctors Failed. I A Case of Systemic Citarrh in Its j Worst Form Cured.

Some valuable papersof much historic interest have come to light in I.oLgmeadow*. They belonged to Jabcz Coltou, who was a graduate of Yale college iu 1775. During his life much time and labor were spent in genealogical study, and for years bo was tbe local authority iu all antiquarian research. In an old pocket book, where it had probably been undisturbed for more than half a century, was found tbe bill of sale for the Longmeadow church bell, which reads: "New church bell, bought of Paul Revere, Boston. 1810. Weight of tbe bell and tongue, 1,256 pounds, at 52 cents per pound, $526.52." Iu IS 15, after the declaration of peace following the war of 1812, the bell was rung so violently that it was cracked, which explains the second bill for recasting, also found in the pocketbook: "Town of Longmeadow, Dr. to Paul Revere, Juno 8, IS 16, to recasting a broken bell, which was returned, weight 1,256 pounds. Weight of the new bell, 1,173 pounds, at 12% cents per pound, $146.62. Deduction, 88 pounds, at 25 cents per pound, $20.75, leaving a balance of $ 125.89.'' This is the sauie date, 181^ of the inscription on the bell of King's chapel, Boston. There are also letters among the papers written as early as 1745, which are interesting reading.?Boston Post.. Blor.d Indians. One of the mysteries of Mexico is presented by the Maya Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains, in the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them. There is a tradition, however, that these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish vessel wrecked on tho Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world, but this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial than a folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons ago. The Mexicans have never been able to conquer this people. Nominally, indeed, they are under Mexican rule, but really they are governed by their own chief, and whenever the Mexican government has interfered with them they have taken up arms, getting the best of the scrimmago every time. Their nearest Indian neighbors are tho Yaquis, and these two warlike tribes have reciprocity down to a line point. Each helps the other when the Mexicans attack them. The Mayas live principally by the chase, although they cultivate some corn and garden truck. The men are large and well formed, and some of the women are remarkably handsome blonds.?Ohio State Journal. Chinese Dog Farms. In Manchuria and along the Mongolian borders of China thero aro thousands of farms on which nothing is raised but dogs of a breed peculiar to this region. Each proprietor keeps several hundreds of them. They are of a large size, and when 8 months old are killed, usually in midwinter, for the sako of their skins. As a result of the severo climate they are covered almost from birth with a magnificent growth of fur. Hence they are much in demand among the northern Chinese as material for winter clothing. They constitute the only wealth of this desolate country. In each family a certain number of dogskins is laid aside as the daughter's marriage portion. Yet they command no very high price, eight skins being required for a gown about two yards long, and worth some $3 or $4. This would make the average value of each but little over 40 cents, from which must be deducted the cost of sortiug and dressing, also of manufacturing the garment. The hides find their first market at several main depots, whence they are taken to Moukden, fou-Tcheou and other cities to be made up. Last year tho estimated proceeds of this traffic at Newchang, a leading emporium, amounted to l,000,000f., against 1,500, OOOf. the year before.? Popular Science News. A Curious Town.

REAL WALL STREET. ; IT CONSISTS OF SECURITIES IN A LOT OF LEATHER BOXES. | Thcue Are Carried to Market Every Morning?How They Are Guarded by Night and by Day?What Would Happen If They Were All Lost or Stolen. According to the map of the city of New York. Wall street is a thoroughfare leading from Broadway to East river. In business parlance it is a dis- , trict extending a quarter of a mile on ? either side of that thoroughfare, wilh ! spurs and branches 011 lower Broadway. , But neither of these definitions is correct. The real Wall street is contained in a lot of leather boxes about three feet long by a foot and a half deep. From 9:30 to 10 o'clock every weekday morning the real Wall street comes out J from subterranean vaults and spreads itself over the district. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon it goes hack again to < its lair, to repose for the night in the dungeons of steel and solid masonry that defy both fire and burglars, guarded by watchmen who all night long patrol the dimly lighted corridors of the stronghold. This real Wall street consists of securities to the value of about $500,000,000. The buying and selling of these securities is the business of the brokers, and a man engaged in such buying and selling is "in the street." ,These $500,000,000 worth of securities are sent to market every morning by their owners to be sold for the highest price the}' will bring, just as a farmer sends a pig to market, and the broker corresponds to the hired man who takes the pig to market and is paid for doing so. Wall street is often spoken of as a place where people buy and sell what they do not possess. That, however, is a delusion. Wall street is securities, and the business of "the street" the buying and selling of them. There are, to be sure, "bucket shops," where things are carried on in some such fashion, but these bucket shops are not of "the street." Each cf the above mentioned leather boxes is carried by two cle ! sent from the broker's office to which it is bound, and behind walks a member of the firm or some trusted employee, such as the cashier. There are leather handles on either end of the box, by which the clerks carry it, and the carriers walk with a brisk step. The representative of the firm who walks behind keeps on a line half way between the carriers and has one eye on the box and one on the 1- _t j. cn.nl 1 ptfjpiu UUUUt U nil. UUUJO ui Ltn, ?uiu.. firms instead of having a box for their securities have a leather bag, which is carried by ouo man aud watched by another. All up and down the sidewalks these moving bags and boxes can be seen during the half hour which is devoted to their transportation. There is little cash in these bags and boxes?sometimes a few thousand dollars which the broker has received after banking hours the day before and put in the safe deposit vault over night, but no great amount. It is securities, stocks and bonds, representing the ownership of $500,000,000 worth of actual property, that is in them. It is, of course, impossible to estimate the value exactly, but the above figure is a fair approximation. If it is a day of "bear market," the value represented is (on the principle that a thing is worth what it will fetch) somewhat less; if it is a day of "bull market,'' more. It is an interesitng object lesson in the affairs of men to see the stream of leather boxes spread itself over Wall street district in the morning and to watch it recede and seek its caves at night. Some of those boxes which started out gay and buoyant in the morning seek the seclusion of their steel dun ? * -- 2t_ 3 ? geous at Eigne satuy atgecceu, uuu sumo that went forth timorously come back with an opulent swagger. While this transfer is being made about a dozen well dressed men; who seem to take only a languid interest in life, may be seen lounging or strolling about at the place where Wall street divides Broad from Nassau, or in that immediate vicinage. They are Wall street detectives, who, appearing to see nothing, see everything. And under their care this half a billion of property is carried through the streets in perfect safety. Yet even if one could invent some kind of fish weir which would catch all these peripatetic boxes and could then get away with them it would do him no good. There would, of course, be no Wall street for awhile?until stocks and bonds to replace the stolen ones could be made out?but the stolen securities would promptly be declared void, and as soon as the new ones took their places "Wall street" would reappear.?Detroit Free Press.
