AND UNDERMINE Old Sores t e to heal are a constantTHE HEALTH Odoe to e They sap the vitality and undermine the constitution by draiieg the systet of its very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of drann ulcers s despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after athee ules. They 1atiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but in ant f all these the sore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround -esh, destroying the tissues and growingto be a festering, inflamed and mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged ,into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not do to depend on external applications for a cure, because they do not reach the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with such treatment; the most they can do is keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is dangerous. for the reas6n that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind it. A cure can be-brought about only through a remedy that can change the quality of the blood, and this is what S. S. S. does. It goes to the very bottom of the trouble, drives out the poisons and germs with which it is filled, and purifies and builds up the entire cir culation. By the use of S. S. S. the sore is supplied with new, rich blood which corrects the trouble, soon stops the discharge, and allows the place to heal naturally and permanently. PURELY V EG ETA B LE. S.

White? -Whty Have Nearly All Pur ple Blossoms: Poisonous Properties? in summer weather ladies, and men, too, when possible wear white. Why? To keep cool. of course, you will say. If this be so, why, then, are alimo.t all the creatures tlv~t live in arctic regions clothed in white? The usual reply is that the white color is for protective purposes-in order. in fact. to make them invisible to their enemies in the midst of the was'es of snow. But, consider, again, is this reasona ble? From whom does the polar bear need to hide? He L.as no enemies to fear. And as for Ihe 11rds which as sume a white plumage when they mi grate north, surely they also have far fewer foes in the polar regions than when farther south. Again, if white be a .cool color this is surely another reason against the in habitants of the coldest regions turning white at the approach of winter. It Is easy to strengthen this argument. Visit the tropics, and you will find hardly any white animals or birds. In the very hottest regions of the globe not only is man. as a rule, black. but the birds and beasts are either very dark or else ex tremely brilliant in color. Of tropical birds the commonest colors run as fol lows: Brown. dark green and dark blue, emerald green. reds and yellows. Speaking of the birds again. why is it that land birds are mostly dark hued while so many sea birds are white? Here is another color puzzle. Almost all song birds are somber in hue, while the brightly colored species. such as the jays, the parrots and birds of paradise. alinve naturally harsh voices. The colors of flowers and leaves offor numbers of interesting problems. No one quIte knows why the prevailing tint of early spring flowers is either white or yellow. Yellow, indeed, holds Its own to some extent all through the summer, but the typical color of sum mer blooms is pink, while as the au tumn advances richer crimsons and all the rich. glowing hues of dahlias and chrysanthemums are seen. Horticulturists have produced pop pies of pretty nearly every shade under the sun, and with many other flowers they seem able to alter the colors al most as they please. Yet the blue rose, th6 black tulip and the green carnation seem as far off as ever they were in spite of coistant efforts to arrive at them. Nearly three centuries ago Dutch gardeners imagined themselves on the verge of Inventing a black tulip. The colors of the blossom of fruit trees are limited to white,. pink, bright scarlet and purple. The reason no one knows. Nor is it clear why nearly all plants with purple blossoms have poi sonous properties. The deadly night shade is an Instance which will be familiar to all country readers. It used to be said and many still imagine that intensity of color depends upon intensity of light. The brilliancy of. a tropical landscape seems in some measure to bear this out. But any amount.of arguments may be deduced against it. Rubies, opals and other exquisitely colored gems are dug from the depths of the earth. The rays of the sun have never touched them- The pulp of some fruits is more richly tinted than the outer rind, while the crimson blood of ani mas is hidden from the light. What could be more rich and magnificent in color than the wings of many moths? Yet these are all night flying creatures, Speaking of moths, it seems odd that there is no blue moth. Very few show even a touch or spot of blue. The col orings of butterfies present many prob lems, for there seemis no order or meth od in their hues and markings, and a strange point is the absolute difference In these points betwveen species other wise closely allied. Why do autumn leaves turn yellow? Here is a question which is more eas il answered than some that have al ready been suggested. The popular reply is, '-The frost does it."' This is only partly correct. If a really hard frost were to happen early in autumn there would be no tints at all. All the lee es wvould turn brown at -once. The really gorgeous colors are produced by a slowv and gradual fall of temperature, of course, without too much wind or rain. The cold causes a chemical fer ment. which attacks the color com pounds in the cells of the leaf. It is those leaves which contain most sugar which oxidize most rapidly and of which, consequently, the color becomes most rich and brilliant. A question which is often asked is, "Why do lobsters, shrimps and certain other similar shellfish turn red when boiled?" It s'eems that the black color ing matter which colors the shell of the lobster during life Is an iron com pound. We know that iron rust is red. The effect of boiling Is practically to turn this iron' compound In the lob)ster shell to a highly oxidized rust. The dislike of certain creatures for certain colors is strange. If a number of earthworms be placed in an oblong box, of which one half Is covered with red and the other with blue glass, they will with one accord crawl away from the blue light and take refuge under [he red glass. Many other higher crea tures share the same dislike to blue rays.-Pearson's Weekly.* Conalderation. Jimson-Now, you wouldn't marry me, would you? Miss S.ears-Most cer tainly not. But why do you ask such a question ? Jimson-Just to decide a bet. Let no man think lightly of good, aying in his heart it. will not benefit me.

How the Declaration of Independ ence Wam Saved by a Vote In the session of the Provisional Congress In Philadelphia. It happened on that famous Fourth of July, 177, the day on which the American colonies were declared free and independent states If Caesar Rod ney had not made his historic ride there might not have been any free America today. The provisional congeess was In ses sion at Philadelphia, each of the thir teen colonies having. representatives. there. It was a great congress, and a momentous question was before the distinguished body. The great charter of our freedom had been written by Jefferson, and 'Benjamin Harrison, fa ther and great-grandfather of presi dents, had presented it to congress on Monday, July 1. What would the Con tinental congress do? In order that our country should be free and independent the declaration must be adopted. This could be done if only the colonies were divided, and there were some good men who did not believe it best to take this step at this time. Four of the seven delegates of Pennslyvania were opposed to it, and, of the two Delaware delegates present, Thomas McIean was in favor of inde pendence, but George Read was op posed to the measure. Caesar Rodney. the other member, was in the southern part of his state in The capacity of a brigadier general, organizing and drill ing troops for the coming struggle, Two of the opposing Pennsylvania delegates were persuaded to absent themselves, and thus the Keystole State would favor the declaration, but the vote of Caesar Rodney was neces sary 'to carry the state of Delaware. A messeng.r was dispatched in hot aste to summon him to Philadelphia, and then for four days the "patriots of '7G" talked and maneuvered to de 'lay the final vote. On Thursday, July 4, congress was to vote on the mo mentous question. . On the afternoon of the 3d the messenger found Caesar Rodney in Sussex county, more than eighty miles frox Philadelphia. General Rodney was at that time forty-six years 61Ld. with a tall, lean, worn figure, his face scarred by a cancer that was finally to cause his death. The brave patriot did not hesitate. "Saddle the black!" he commanded, and in ten minutes-he had mounted his faithf': steed rand was galloping as if for life to the northward. Eighty miles away from congress, which was waiting for him to declare the independence of the colonies. . The thought caused him to drive his spurs deep into his horse's flanks and sent him flying along the long, dusty high way that stretched away toward the Quaker City. It was one of the great rides of history. That black steed' bore the destinies of Ameri~ca, and his rider knew it, and there was neither halt nor delay: The sun went down, and the stars came out one by one in the blue vault f heaven, and that solitary rider rush ed on his way. All through the cool summer night Caesar Rodney kept up iis reckless pace. The stars faded out of the morning sky, and the sun came up red and fiery, the lierald of a sultry day. And still Caesar Rodney kept on his way. He was yet many miles from Philadelphia. His horse was jaded, and he was travel worn and covered with dust, but the patriot did not ulacken his rein. He must be there to vote for the independ ence of America. And he was there. All that hot, sweltering July day the delegaes of the colonial congress were talking and voting in Independence hall. The session had.begun. The pres ident, John Hancock?' was in the chair, and the clerk, John Dickinson, was calling the colonies one by one. Vir ginia had voted and Massachusetts and the great state of New York and the little state of Rhode Island, and now New Jersey was voting, and Caesar tod'e, had not come. Anxious and worried, Thomas Mc K~ean went out to- the door of Inde pendence hall. Would his friend and Icompatriot be too late? Ils f~ce brightened as he heard the sound of hurrying hoof beats coming up Chest ut street. A foaming, panting steed dashed into the yard. Its dusty rider laped to the ground. Booted and spur Ired and the dust of his long ride thick on his long flapped coat and Iron gray hair, Caesar Rodney entered the hall of congress leaning on his friend Mc Kean's arm. He was just in time. The vote of Deiware was being called. George Read voted "Nay." "Aye!'' called the clear voice of Thomas McKean. It was a tie. All eyes turned to Caesar Rod Iney. The famous rider cleared his throat, and many a patriot heart beat with pride as he declared in firm tone: "The voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men, I believe, Is In favor of independenco. and my own judgment concurs wit'h them; therefore I vote for the Declaration." And so Caesar Rodney by his famous ride and by his noble vote helped to settle the question of independence and insured the future celebrations of the Fourth of July. The Saturnlia.

The Process of M1anufacture, From the Ingots of Pure Gold Fresh From the Subtreasury to the Finished Shining Prodnet. Out of whatever part of the earth it may originally have been dug,.the gold from which thimbles are made in Phil adelphia was bought at the United States subtreasury in the city in the form of snug little ingots, brick shaped and about two md a half inches long, an inch and a quarter wide and about an inch thitk. These little ingots wonld-be of a con venient size for paperweights. But they would be rather heavy for such use and probably too expensive for most people, for each one contains, of pure gold, 24 carats fine, metal of the value of about $600. Gold of this fineness would be much too soft for thimbles, and it is alloyed down to 14 carats, in which condi tion it is rolled into sheets of suitable thickness. In the first process of man ufacture a sheet of. this gold is run. into a machine which cuts out of it a disk in size sufficient to form a thim ble, the same machine stamping this disk also into the form of a straight sicied capsule with irregular edges. Then the thimble blank goes into an other machine, in which a die stamps-it into its conical shape. Out of this ma chine it goes into an annealing fur nacM for tempering and from that into an adId bath for cleaning and the re moval of the fire coating. Then the tlgmble is put into a lathe to be turned down -to its final shape and dimensions. It Is dull colored when it goes into the lathe, buCat the first touch of the keen edged cutting tool it shows a glistening narrow band of bright gold surface, which is widen ed in a moment to cover the whole length of the thimble as the skillful worker shifts the tool along. ' With repeated application of the tool the operator brings the crown of the thimble into its perfect form and cuts down along the thimble's sides to bring the walls of the thinible to the requi site thickness, and he defines and fin Ishes the smooth band that runs around the lower part of the thimble and brings into relief the rounded rim that encircles the thimble at its opening at once to give it a finishing ornamental grace there and to stiffen it. The glis tening little gold shavings thdt he cuts off in these various operations all fall into a canvas trough suspended be tween him and the bench upon. which stands the lathe. With that last touch to its rim in this stage of making the former has grown marvelously more thimble-like in ap peaance, but somehow it still lacks the breath, so to speak, of thimble life; it lacks yet the familiar Indentations in its surface that serve to support the needle and to'hold it in place. These the thimble maker now proceeds to make. and the making of these Is nice work indeed. It is done with a tool called a knurle. There is an end knurle and a side knurle. An end knurle is simply a han dIe having set in it a tiny, thin revolv ing wheel of steel, upon whose periph ery is a continulous encircling row of little bosses or knobs corresponding in size to the .indentations to be made. The side knurle has in place of such a wheel a fittle steel cylinder of a length sufficient -to cover that section of the thimble that is to be indented on its sides, this cylinder having knobs all over its surface. as the .end knurle wheel has around its edges, ,and turn ing, like the wheel. on its axis. The thimble in the lathe is turning with 2,500 revolutions a minute, and it seems as though the application to its surface of any sort of tool -witi pro tuberances on it must leave there only a jangled and mixed up lot of irregular marks. But now with the end knurle the thimble maker makes' an indenta tion in the center of the top of the thim ble, and then he proceeds rapidly and with perfect certainty with the end knurle to describe around that center concentric rings of indentations, with the indentations all perfectly made and the rings all perfectly spaced, from the center to the circumference of the top. You may see him do this, but you can't tell how he is able to do it And then with the side knurle he makes the indentations in the sides of the thim ble. making there as well, as he deftly p'esses the tool against it, indentations that run absolutely uniform and true and that end at their lower edge in a perfectly true encircling line. It is astonishing and a pleasant thing to see how it develops and comes to itself with the making of these fa miliar indentations, and now there re mains to be done to it only the polish ing inside and out and you have the finished gold thimble.-Philadelphia Press.
