There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge, the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood. i When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when from any cause, however, the blood has become infected with germs or poisons the place becomes a sore or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid. Often the rough handling of a wart, mole or pimple which has never shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of the skin or insignificant hurt of an}'' character will become a sore that refuses to heal, and remains for years, eating into the surrounding flesh, resist ing treatment and sometime.-, terminating in Cancer.

Those most usually afflicted w . eiiroir’e sores and ulcers are persons who have reached or passed middle life; the vitality c: he blood and strength of the svstem have naturally begun to weaken and the poisons id die blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain dormant in the system for years cannot be as effectually held in check as in early life when the system was strong and vigf rous. While the old or middle-aged are the usual sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood b • aics infected with the germs. Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., cannot cure old sou ; and ulcers because they do not reacli the seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and perhaps reduces the inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently heal them.

Mozart at the age of five composed a piece of music so diffi cult that his father, a professional mu sician, had some trouble In playing it. “Macaulay before he was eight wrote the •Compendium of Universal History, Being an Account of the Lead ing Events From the Creation Down to the Present Century.’ “Hartley at seven wrote a long and abstruse essay on the ‘Nature of Man.’ Bacon at nine finished a work on phi losophy. Milton at twelve wrote two epics. “On the other hand, Goethe, Steele, Dr. Johnson, Wagner, Voltaire, Tenny son, Poe and Eenimore Cooper were deemed stupid in their childhood.’’ permanent good is a competent blood purifier, one that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the c .p.; '*, and for this purpose nothing has ever been found to equal S.

TALK NOT CHEAP FOR HIM. Sitter Jerroid. Among the sayiDga attributed to Doug las Jemrfd is a very bitter one he ap plied to Murk Lemon, then editor of Punch. Lemon was deeply attached to Dickens and showed rf In a very open fashion, which perhaps aroused the great satirist’s jealousy, At ail events, aa Jerroid was walking out one day with Lemon and another friend, and Dickens with several more behind them. Lemon suddenly dropped away and turned back. “What has become of Punch?" asked Jerrold’s companion. “Did yon hear Dickens whistle?" was the cynical reply. “Dickens pays the dog tax for Lemon.’* Liberty, Kqnality, Fraternity. The French philosopher M. I.e Bon, commenting on the motto of the revo lution, “Liberty, Equality and Frater- j nity," declared 'that the real difference between the French and the British lay in the fact that the French were enam ored of equality and cared little for liberty, while the British insisted on liberty and never gave a thought to equality. And when some one quoted this to Uudyard Kipling lie instantly added his own comment to the effect that what the American really pre ferred whs fraternity. “He is a good fellow himself, and he expects you to be one."

Telephones are not quite so'-popular in the rural districts of Berkshire coun ty, in Connecticut, now as they were a few days ago, says a Winated special dispatch to the New York World. When the so called Farmers’ lines were strung up and connected with the ex changes in the large towns and cities all of the farmers seized on them as the greatest boon of the age. Fanner Jabez Scott who dwells near Lee, a Yorkshire village, was one of the first to get a telephone in his house. That was three months ago, and be Immediately l>egan calling up all of the relatives and friends of the family in the states of Massachusetts. Connecticut and New York. He visit ed with all of them at long distance and then called in his neighbors to let them talk to their long distance kin. Farmer Scott got the bill for his first quarter the other day, calling for $r*2. He paid it, and the phone was taken out of the house the next day.
