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.

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

CURRENT MISCELLANY.
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

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.?

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

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

Former Falls of Seed.
Up at 4, writing memoirs about the
year 1544 till noon; then walked with
Dutch cousin (Benjamin Miluer of
Amsterdam) to Wroodhose Hill, where,
in Cousin Fenton's best chamber, I
gathered some of the corn that was
rained down tho chimney upon the
Lord's day seven night, when it likewise
rained plentifully of the like upon
Heading ley Moor, as was confidently
reported; but those I gathered with my
own hands from the white hearth,
which was stained with drops of blue
where it had fallen, for it is of a pale
red or a kind of sky color, is pretty, and
tastes like common wheat, of which I
have 100 corns. What it may signify,
and whether it doth proceed from natural

Pleasant Pellets cure it promptly and permanently
and never gripe. They arc
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless.
No other pill acts so naturally and perfectly.
Druggists sell them.
True as Gospel.
Anderson Intelligencer.
"Whenever a man cannot conscientiously
say something good of his
i i 1-1 1. .11
town anci its people ne naa ueuer
leave it. Ho should go to a town
that he can praise. Nothing so injures
a town as discontented and
disloyal citizens. It is not selfishness
for members* of a family to
defend, uphold and assist each other
in preference of others, and neither
is it selfishness for the people of a
town to stand by each other in a business
way. It is nothing more^than
what is right and proper. "Whenever
it is possible every enterprise should
patronize every other enterprise. The
old adage, "in union there is
strength," will apply here. Foreign
enterprises have 110 claim upon the
people of a town in which there are
like enterprises, everything being
equal. The way to make a town is
to stick to it, its people and its enterprises.
