JENKIINSONCO The puirifying action and curative properties of this great remedy have made "S. S. S. For The Blood " a household saying, and thousands who are today enjoying perfect health owe their recovery from blood or skin diseases to this universally used blood medicine. S. S. S. is made entirely from roots, herbs and barks which possess not only cleansing and healing ingredients, but building-up and strengthening properties to keep the blood in perfect order. No one can be well when the blood is impure ; they lack the energy and strength that is natural with health, the complexion becomes pale and sallow, the vitality is weakened and they suffer from a general broken down condition. When the wastesor refuse matter, which nature intends shall be thrown off, is left in the system because of a sluggsh, torpid. condition of the expelling members, it is absorbed into the CUARANTEED blood; making this vital stream weak, sour and acrid, and its condition is manifested by boils, F R EE F R 0 M= pimples, rashes, blotches and other eruptions of M I N E R A L S. the skin. S. S. S. goes into the circulation and removes every particle of blood taint or poison of every character, makes the blood fresh and strong and gives energy to the entire body. When the blood has been cleansed by S. S. S. all skin diseases and eruptions pass away and the smooth, clear skin, glowing with health, shows that the body is beir~g nourished by rich, pure blood. Rhen matisma, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Serpfula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders, and for their cure nothing equals S. S. S. It does not injuriously affect the most delicate parts of the body and can be taken with perfect safety by old or yourg.

Silas Pewter, of Hendrick's township, Chautauqua county, who discovered the adamant bug, is getting rich fast off his discov ery. It was in August when he discovered the bugs and several weeks before he could get things shaped up to "colonize" them properly. He now has at least a dozen different "herds" of them. Some are removing stone from the field for farmers by eating it in to sand and letting it go back into the soil when the ground is plowed. Pewter gets two dol lars an acre for this. One herd is working on the road in Harrison township cut ting the rock out of the hills. Several herds are at work in the sand-paper factory between El gin and Hewin. Mr. Pewter says his sand-pa per mill has paid well,but thinks he will close it down during the spring months because so many road overseers want the bugs for spring road-work. He says he is about to close a contract with the Sante Fe for the mastication of the big boul ders along its tracks west of El gin. This, he says, will give the bugs work all season.-Kan sas City Journal. A Sign of Grief.

E The Moor preparcs butter in an riginal way and gets a dif'erent taste ti rom the usual one. Fresh butter ("si Lida," as he calls it), as known by us, be despises and uses only for cooking. [t must be old if It is to be liked. After 'n it has lain in a hole ~ih the ground for a some years and has got a certain ap- ~ pearance it becomes a delicacy. To :nake butter a goatskin is turned in side out. It is filled with milk, bound b2 tight and tied to a tree. Thbere it is ti beaten backward and forward till the butter is made. That is why you can not get butter in Morocco without hairs all through it. The butter is then laid ~ on pieces of wood and the maker goes ~ to sell it. Possible buyers lift the ~ dirty cover, put In their fingers and ' take out a taste and if the goods do ~ not please close It down again and the t salesman pursues his way. Ingrowing Toe Nails. It has been found by some that the copious application of dried powdered ilum is sufficient to cure most cases of ngrowing toe nails. The applications are not painful, and the inflamed tis sue is dried up, and a'hard, resistant, onsenstive bed Is formed for the nail. The toe is wrapped in a cloth soaked in soap and water for twenty-four 1 liours beforehand, and then the pow dered alum is poured into the space between the nail and its bed, using cotton to keep the alum in place and repeating the application daily. Thet suppuration, If any exists, rapidly 1 dries up, pain and discomfort are al most immediately relieved, and, the application being repeated for about five days, a cure usually results. A Bridge of Crocodiles. A traveler writes of a port in north restern India: "The great sight of Carachi is the sacred crocodile pre erve at Magar Fir, some seven miles fr. There are hot springs here which eed a shallow tank containing nearly hundred crocodiles. The story, usu .ly thought to be fictitious, of the Eng Ishman who for a bet crossed the tank y jumping successively from the acks of these ci'ocodiles is based on act. The hero of this foolhardy feat ras a certain Lieutenant Beresford, a riend of Sir FL. F. Burton. When Bur on and his companion were visiting Lie crocodiles' tank they noticed that iese reptiles and certain islets of reeds appened to make an almost continu us bridge across the tank. This rompted the daring subaltern to haz rd the feat of crossing by hopping rom one crocodile to another. To the mazement of the spectators he suc eeded in this apparently mad attempt ir Richard Burton had already suc essfuily performed an equally daring eat. He managed to muzzle a croco lie by means of a lasso and then umped on the reptile's back and en )yed a somewhat zigzag ride." Inside Your Bones. People usually imagine that their ones are of solid mineral construe on, without any feeling in them. As matter of fact, there are blood ves ls and nerves inside the bones just s there are outside. During amputa on of a limb much more pain is felt -hen the bone is attacked than when ie flesh iS being cut through. Through ie marrow which is inside the bones in the nerves and blood vessels, en :ring the bones from the flesh without y little holes. 'Nature adapts the bony tructure of various animals to their abits in a very interesting manner. luggish creatures, like the sloth, have lid bones, whereas the bones of the eer and the antelope are comparative light, so that they may run fast, and ie leg bones of the ostrich are hollow. ou will find in the bones of any skel ton the application of mechanical rinciples which have only become nown to man through the processes r laborious and long considered in ention. A Finger Pillory. The finger pillory is still preserved arefully In the parish church of St [elen Ashby-de-ia-Zouch and Is thus escribed: "An ancient and rather sin lar curiosity is a finger pillory. This istrument seems to have been, used r the punishment of disorderly per 2ns during divine service. It consists I two upright posts about three feet igh, which support a beam of nearly ie same length, in which are bored les of various dimensions, 'cut first orizontally, then perpendicularly, in rder that the first 'joint of the finger Lay be inserted and the finger retained an angular form. The culprit is then cured by bringing down over the ales another beam which is attached y a hinge at the end to one of the osts and fastened at the other by a ck."-London Academy. Holding the Breath. It is a physical impossibility for a ian to kill himself by blding his reath. Individuals differ greatly in le length of time they can hold their reath, and what practice and deter lned effort, combined with natural ret lung capacity, can do In this di action is shown by the long yieriods yr which champion divers can reain nder water. If a man succeeded in ntinuing to hold his breath in spite the physical discomfort in which he ad placed himself the result would Lmply be to induce a state of coma. ~7hen this state was reached nature ould reassert herself, and the breath ig functions would again resume full etivity, preventing a fatal issue in site of their owner's desire.

The Swedish Lapps live entirely with, by and upon their reindeer. A Lapp who owns a thousand deer is a very rich man; but, as taxes are as sessed upon the number of deer, he is Inclined to underestimate his herd. The most dangerous enemy to the herd Is the wvolf, who, if so disposed, .can kill thirty deer. in a night. A band of wolves can make a rich Lapp poor. : When the snow is deep and soft and o~ It is announced that wolf tracks have e been seen in the neighborhood of the : deer the swiftest runners on snow shoes prepare for an exciting chase. The wolf may have a start of a mile or two, but the track it leaves In the deep, soft snow is so prominent that - the hunters can follow it at their best speed. - The wolf, though ,he may run 'ast, has but slight chance of -escaping the short men' who on snowshoes rush through the wood, dart down steep * hills and jump from ledges several yards In height. Each hunter does his - best to outrun the others, for the wolf belongs to the Lapp who strikes the first blow. As soon as the leading hunter is close enough to the wolf he gives it a heavy blow across the loins = with his strong spiked snowshoe staff. If there are other wolves to be pur sued. he kills it outright; if not, he disables it and waits till all the hunt-. ers arrive before giving the death stroke. - Frightfully Burned. Chas. W.
