What S. S. S. Does
for Children
Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of dis
eases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer
gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the
lungs and taken into the blood. At the crowded school
rooms and other public places they come in contact
almost daily with others recovering from or in the first
stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best you can
do is to keep their blood in good condition, aud thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, of Course,
children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak,
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
that comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give
Strength and vitality to their blood, and S. S. S. , being a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best lor
the delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic
for children ; it increases their appetites and strengthens
the digestion and assimilation of food. If your child
ren have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood,
give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any
information or advice wanted ; this will cost you noth
ing, and will start the little weaklings on the road to
recovery. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.

THE BAKER'S DOZEN.
Thirteen Reaioni Explaining Popularity ol
lh "Anchor" Clamp,
A great deal is heard now about the
"anchor" fences that have sprung
into wide popularity of late. It is
claimed that they are the cheapest
and most durable fences on uirth,
hence their general adoption. Mi
nute inquiry into details of construc
tion reveals the fact that "anchor"
clamps hold (rivet tight) the large
wires of which the fence is iiuide. thus
making the fence live times as strong
and durable as any other fence on the
market.
The manufacturers, The Portliind
Anchor Fence Co., 74'i Nicola i strirt,
Portland, Or., give a full baker's
doien reasons why the "anchor"
clump ia so ellicictit :
1. It is made of the Ust hoop steel,
therefore is strong and durable.
2. It is simple; can lw applied by
any one.
3. It does what other ties pretend
to do makes an immovable anchor.
4. It prevents loose ami sagging
wires.
f. It keeps a fence always in repair,
ti. It prevents injury to stock.
7. It makes a fence that stock can
not break down.
8. It can he used on smooth or
barlied wire.
11. It can he used for ntakiiiK new
or repairing old fences.
10. It is the only tie vet devised by
which a fence can Ins made in any
manner desired, or repaired without
rebuilding.
11. It makes the BEST anil most
durable fence on the market.
11 IT IS CHEAT.
13. Merit alone can stand the test
of time.

Msnr l.ar-Cltr C'tr(ja Htcelr
Manlttcant Hatarl,
To be the minister In one of New
Vork's big churches Is a lucrative aud
dcslrahle position. The snlarlw are
large and the perquisites often double
the salary. It was said that the late
Dr. John Hall had an Income of be
tween t:i.Vio aud iKi,tH) a year. Of
this his salary was I'J.'.ooO snd the rest
was for marriage fees and other Inci
dentals. Or. Morgan Olx of Trinity receives
to.OOO per annum and his perquisites
are quite as much as wore Or. Hall's.
He has also about twenty assistant cu
rates, none of whom gets less than
.',. HI per annum. Not less Is the In
come of Or. tireer, rector of St. Itnr
tholoinew's Kplscopul Church, for, be
sides a large salary,' ho officiates at
more fashionable weddings than any
other minister lu New York. Or. Hunt
ington, of (J race t hurcb, probably
comes third lu the list of high-priced
preachers.
Or. MucArthur, of Calvary Church, Is
the best paid Baptist minister In the
city, although his salary does not equal
that of some of the Fplscopal rectors.
Hut bis parish Is large and lie Is In fre
quent demand at weddings. Hy a sort
of unwritten law among the clergy the
minister's wife always receives all
wedding fees. They are supposed to
he her pin money. Some ministers who
are unmarried set this sum aside for
charity, says the New Vork World.
Clergymen who have big churches
and wealthy congregations receive a
substantial recompense for oflhintlng
on these occasions. The custom of giv
ing hlg marriage fees Is every year In
creasing and the bigger the fee the
more complimentary It Is supposed to
be for tl'e bride. For his services at
the christening of the little ones of the
rich the rector also gets a nice check.
When It Is remembered thnt hand
some residences nre thrown In, by the
large churches, In addition to the regu
lar salary, It will be Been that a call to
a rich city church Is not to be despised.
The average man who Imagines that a
preacher has no business ability would
do well to consider that he doesn't need
to have It. He bos a pleasant berth
and he is sure of his Job as long as he
lives.

opinion of many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home when',
rain Is In the air. When the sky Is
simply dark and cloudy, these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling alt
at once. A few go out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to dissipate, and'
It Is only then that the battalions en-'

of the word. Its cleverness consists
In never being taken unawares, for It
possesses untiring vigilance. Often
one may observe the sudden entrance of
bees Into the hive when a dense cloud

On of the most striking Illustrations
of this phenomenon of a light veneer
of Western habit overlaying a core of
things totally Oriental Is the personal
life of Abdul Hauild. Tireless is his
activity Is, and careful as he Is of each
moment of time, very III tie or his ener
gy Is directed toward national affairs,
and pulillo business Is nowhere -more
delayed and neglected than under this
busy ruler.
Ths elaborate ceremony of pieruti
tloii with which his meals are prepared
engages the attention of the highest
and most trusted of his olllcluls. The
rooking Is dune lu a separate and
strongly guarded chamber, and tho
chef does everything beneath the eye
of ths Sultan's confidential servant. A
solemn procession conveys the food
and water to the suite a manger, l he
csrsf being sealed and the dishes cov
ered with cloths w hich are also sealed
upon them. These precautions against
poison by no means satisfy the Sultan
At sny moment be may command the
uttlclnl who overlooks the cookery to
taste dish, and a number of pet anl
inula are kept tu which the first morsels
are given by the royal hand.
In the taste for tobacco, ou the other
hand, he practices no moderation; this
Is craving stronger than any taste for
food, and the cigarette that Is between
his lips from morning till night can do
little to improve a nervous system al
ready shattered by anxieties. In the
matter of liquor the Sultan Is no strict
Mussulman, and pleads his health as
n excuse for the Indulgence In an oc
casional glass of champagne,
Ths pitiable state of his nerves makes
the night a recurring terror to him.

by the resiling aloud of his brother or
