"Out of Sight
Out of Mind."
In other months we forget
the harsh winds of Spring.
But they have their use, as
some say, to blow out the
bad air accumulated after
Winter storms and Spring
thaws. There is far more
important accumulation of
badness in the veins and ar
teries of humanity, which
needs Hood's Sarsaparilla.
This great Spring Medicine clarifies the
blood as nothing else can. It cures scro
fula, kidney disease, liver troubles, rheu
matism and kindred ailments. Thus it
gives perfect health, strength and appetite
for months to come.
Kidneys "My kidneys troubled me,
end on advice took Hood's Sarsaparilla
which gave prompt relief, better appetite.
My sleep is refreshing. It cured my wife
also." Michael Boyle, 3473 Denny street,

Dyspepsia "Complicated with liver
and kidney trouble, I suffered for vears
with dyspepsia, with severe pains. Hood's
Sarsaparilla made me strong and hearty."

The Rain Tree of Ferro Island.
The island of Ferro is one of the
largest in the Canary group, and it has
received its name on account of its iron
bound soil, through which no river
nor stream flows. In the midst oi the
island there grows a tree known as the
raining tree, the leaves of whioh are
long and narrow. It continues in con
stant verdure winter and summer, and
the branches are covered with a cloud
whioh is never dispelled, but, resolving
itself into a moisture, causes to fall
fiom its leaves a very clear water in
such abundance that cisterns placed at
its foot to receive it are never empty.

MERITED THE LAETARE MEDAL.
Mme. Caldwell, Now a Frencn Mar
quia?, Receives a High Distinction.
Mary Gwendolin Caldwell, now tbe
Marquise of Merinville, was recently
given the Laetare medal by Notre
Dame University an honor that la
yearly conferred upon some American
lay person In recognition of distin
guished services rendered for religion,
education or morals.
Mme. Caldwell Is the chief founder of
the Catholic University of America at
Washington, and has given many other
evidences of her philanthropy. She
founded the divinity school of that uni
versity with a gift of $300,000, and her
sister, Miss Llna, now Baroness Zed
witz, added $50,000 to erect a chapel.
She Is the third woman to receive the
Laetare medal since the custom of pre
senting It was Instituted in 1883. Com-

ing of a family of great wealth and
high social position, Mme. Caldwell
has been prominent In the society of
Washington, Newport and other cities,
and on her visits to Tarls she has been
well received. Her father was William
Shakspeare Caldwell, of Virginia, and
her mother was a sister of John C.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, formerly
Vice President of the United States.
While traveling In Europe in 1887
Mme. Caldwell became interested In
university work, and on her return to
America offered the council of Balti
more $300,000 to start the proposed
Catholic university. She has since giv
en liberally to the institution, her latest
gift, made by herself and sister, being
$10,000 to found a fellowship in honor
of their parents.
At one time Mme. Caldwell was
about being married while in Taris to
Prince Joachim Murat Napoleon, a de
scendant of the great Bonaparte, but
they could not agree on financial terms.
Some time later she married Marquis
de Merinvllle.

ed bottom, making the boltoin part ad
justable at a level with the seat In or
der to form a bed for the infant while
Bleeping. A foot rest at the bottom
Bcrves as the foot of the bed.
The front wheels are pivotal in sep
arate forks and hold the machine up
right under all ordinary conditions,
thus preserving the passenger from ac
cidents from tipping over. The other
parts of the machine, frame, rear
wheel, pedals, saddle, etc., are the same
as In the ordinary bicycle.
The steering Is done with the front
wheels. Stability Is maintained by the
support of the machine being constant
ly upon three fixed points, by mount
ing the front wheels In separate piv
oted frames and connecting them with
the handlebar so as to turn them sim
