AN INHERITED KF MISFORTUNE Every one has a hereditarv right to a pure blood supply, which insures strong.'healthy body but how many do we see who have inherited that r atest of all misfortunes. Scrofula, and are struggling under a legacy of di.;ease and suffering? Scrofula is a constitutional trouble handed down from parent to child, a curse from generation to generation as long as the scrofulous matter is allowed to remain in the family blood. As the very foundation of the blood is diseased we see this awful affliction manifested in many ways, such as enlarged glands or tumors about the neck, which often burst and become discharging ulcers, weak eyes, chronic Catarrh of the head, skin diseases, etc. This blighting disease being so firmly intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling, or hip disease, while a pallid, waxe; appearance of the skin, loss of strength, and often lung affections show that the disease is entirely destroying the rich, nutritive qualities of the blood. There is but one way to cure Scrofula and that is to purify the blood and rid it of the germs of disease, and for this purpose nothing equais S. S. S.

The old Republic4n party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, had its most vigorous life during the twenty-four years while Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were in the White House. Dur ing these years it completely annihi lated its opponent, the old Federalist party, which was the predecessor of the present Republican party. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, who had a leaning to Federalism, was elected by the house of representatives (none of the candidates havlidg a majority of the electoral vote) as a national Republl can, and when Jackson came in four years later it was as a Democratic Republican. It was during his time that the latter half of the name was dropped, and the party of Jefferson took the name of the Democratic party. It was not until 1854 that the present Republican party assumed the name which the party of Jefferson and Jack son- had dropped a quarter of a cen tury before.-St. Louis Republican. To Conciliate the Gods. Just at night, if you happen to be within the gates of Canton, you will witness one of the little performances that are supposed to deceive the prowl ng spirits of the night bent upon evil intent, the while conciliating them should they penetrate 'the deception. Each little and big shop possesses a miniature fireplace built into the side of the entrance. Prayers printed on rice paper form the fuel with which to offer up incense to the "bogy man," who is supposed to make the nocturnal visits. Beholding the smoke, he is sup posed to assume that no one lives with in, and therefore passes by; but should he catch on and stop to investigate he finds that the prayer papers on the al tar bear inscriptions attributing to him such virtues and magnanimity that his wrath is appeased and he turns from his evil intent. - Edwin Wildman in Chautauquan. Dose-One Dimeful. "How big a dose do I need?" asked the customer of the old fashioned drug gist "Oh, I guess a heaping dimeful will be about right," was the reply. "A dimeful?" echoed the customer. "You mean 9 dime's worth, don't you?" "No, I don't," said the druggist. "A dime's worth would be two ounces, and you'd never survive such a quan tity as that. I mean for you to take a dime and pile on it as much of this powder as will stick. Then you have the proper dose. Measuring medicine on a dime is a method as old as United States currency and almost as reliable. There are certain powders that can be measured more accurately that way than any other, and among us old timers who have been used to meeting emergencies 'a dimeful' is a common direction." Different Meaning*. Some words in our language have several, meanings, each different from the others, so that it is not always pos sible to know at first just what thought the speaker wishes to express. There is the word "humanitarian," for in stance. If you will turn to your Web ster you will find that It means, first, one who denies the divinity of Christ and believes him to have been merely human; second, one who limits the sphere of duties to human relations and affections to the exclusion of the religious or spiritual; third, one 'who is actively concerned in promoting the welfare of his kind, a philanthropist. The third sense is the one in which the word Is now most frequently used, and Webster marks this definition .as "re cent" The Size of Canada. Canada is larger than the United States by a quarter of a million square miles. Canada contains one-third of the area of the British empire. Canada extends over 20 degrees of latitude trom Rome to north pole. Canada is as large as thirty United Kingdoms, eighteen Germanys, thirty-three Italys. Canada Is larger than 'Australasla and twice the size of British India. Canada has a boundary line of 3,000 miles be tween it and the United States. Cana da's seacoast equals half the earth's circumference. Canada is 3,500 miles wide and 1,400 from north to south. Impure Candy. Beware of impure candy.

Sold by The Araut Co. They Scorned Doctors. The learned ladles in olden times took great comfort and pride in their skill in medicine. With true professional scorn they looked down upon the regu lar doctor% as upon quacks. "For God's sake beware what medicines ye take of any fyssissyans of London. I shall never trust to them because of your father and my uncle, whose souls God assoil." So wrote a lady in conscious pride. She knew she could have saved the lives of her unfortunate relatives if she had only had a chance to dose them with some of her wonderful con coctions or to have put upon them some'such plasters as those for which Dame Margery raston was famous. Her husband sent for- one of her plas ters for the king's attorney, James Ho barst, who was suffering with an ache in his knee, and to whom Sir John Pas ton felt himself sentimentally indebted. "He is the man who brought you and me together," he wrote t Margery, "and I had leaver than 140 that ye could with your plaster part him and his pain." Grease In Wool Fabrics. Few persons realize when they put on woolen garments what a large amount of animal fats wool contains, for to the touch woolens are not greasy. In the big clothing shops where men's garments are cut, however, the floors around the tables where electric knives clip out the odd shaped pieces soon be come as slippery as though they were waxed for a dance. "Why do you wax the floors-to keep the fabrics clean?" is a common query from visitors. But the clohling cutters explain that this accumulation of grease comes from the friction of wool cloth over the wood. The wood's pores soon become so charged with it that they feel greasy to the touch, and even the harder woods in the cutting taules absorb from. the woolen fibers so much of the animal fat that to all appearances they might be in steady use in the rendering de partment of an abattoir.-New York Press.

In Andrews' "Anecdotes Ancient and Modern" (1789) one reads, "Should a glass house fire be kept up without ex tinction for a longer term than seven years there is no doubt but that a salamander would be generated In the cinders." This probably accounts for the popular idea that a salamander lives in the fire, a fallacy so far remov ed from the truth that the curious lizard-like beast so called cannot en dure even the heat of the sun, but skulks away under stones to avoid it. It will never lose its reputation for fire eating, though, which lingers still In the heating utensil that Is named after it An Old Irish Tune. "The Girl I Left Behind Me" is an Irish tune, known to have been in ex itence in 1770. The author of the words is unknown, though clams have been made for several Irish and Eng lish poets. For over 100 years It has b'en the parting tune of the British &emy and navy and is played when ever a regiment is leaving a town where It has been stationed or a man of-war Is weighing anchor to sail from a port. ____ ___ 'Study Yourself.

At any rate, fhe balle today is chiefly a spectacla of dress and colored limelight. Except for n very few performers. dancing as : high art has vanished!. There is no one now to set bedd<d La Taglioni, who was the queen of the stage. Balzac introduced her into his novels. Even Thackeray condescende to notice her and declared enthuslas tically in "The Newcomes" that the "young men of the day will never sec anything so graceful as Taglioni ii 'La Sylphide."' At that time she was the rage. Stagecoaches and great coats were named after her. . La Taglioni owed her charm to : wonderful lightness and grace. He: style was rather ideal than realisti< and voluptuous, as was then the vogue The hideous ballet skirt of today shE never wore, but a skirt that reached nearly to her ankles. It was one o: the principles of her fatlier, who taugh her all she learned of the art, that th< dancer should be modest in dress, iu movement and in expression. Anothersfamous master, who calle himself "Le Dieu de la Danse," always told his pupils to use all the coquetry they could. Vestris, who founded the famous Vestris family, was an eighteenth cen tury- celebrity and quite remarkabls conceited even for a dancer. "There are but three great men alive," he used to say, "myself, the Prussian Fred erick and Voltaire." (It is interesting to comiare Southey's remark that n male dancer deserves to be ham strung.) That profession of which he was so proud is indeed an arduous one Vestris used to practice for about sis hours a day. A dancer must be ex tremely strong and supple. A curious story is told about Fanny Elssler, a German dancer with coa black hair, which illustrates the ex treme muscular strength a dancer re quires. She was crossing to America when she entered her cabin -one day and discovered a thief abstracting the jewel case which she kept hidden un der her pillow. Before he could attaci: her she planted her foot full in his chest and killed him on the spot It is curious that no Englishwoman has ever achieved supreme success as a dancer. It Is possible, as foreigners assert, that they lack the dramatic gift It is certain that a lifelong devotior and arduous apprenticeship are essen tial to any expression through the me dium of dancing. The "rats," the be ginners at the Paris Opera, are arti cled for five years, and then, unless they have danced from their cradle they cannot hope to attain the firs rank. Another quality essential to the grea dancer is infinite patience. The only English dancer who ever gave promis< of attaining the front rank failed in this respect - Lola Montez was the somewhat foreign name she had taken She lost her temper one day with the manager at rehearsal and expressed her feelings so dramatically as t< break an umbrella over his head. Man agers will endure much for art's sake but this was too much. Carlotta Grisi Is another famous name of the old opera. It was she who first Introduced the polka int< England-a Bohemian dance that cam< to stay. It was for her, too, thai Heine, Gautler and Adolphe Adarr collaborated in writing "Giselle." ' There were a score more famoiu names that were familiar words i those days.
