It I pcrhap not kjfown to all the world that the ride of It Carson, the great western hunter, cout and ex plorer, I carefully preserved and may be seen by those who know it where abouts. At the time of Kit Caron' death he left hi rifle to Monteauma Ixdge, A. F. and k. M, of Panta Fe, N. M., in whose charge it ha remained ver lnce, an object of great Interest and very highly prised by all members ot that society. Monteiuma lodge is on of the oldest organisations of that nature west of the Missouri river. It was organised so long ago a 1849. at which time the ancient town of Santa Fe was Jut beginning to take in part the color of the western-bound Anglo Saxon civilisation. Fremon't first trip to the Rooky mountain wa made in 1842. There were few white men in all that part of the west at the time of the founding of Montesuma lodge, but Kit Carson wa one of these early mem bers. To his brother of the society he left what may have been one of hi most cherished possessions. Field and rStream. Like Ants. The German geographical paper known as Export says that there are -7,642,650 Chinese living out of China or, in other words, "a many a the total population of Sweden and Nor way." According to Export' figures, America ha comparatively few Chi nese, only 272,829, a few less than the British island of Hongkong alone boasts, Formosa has 2.600,000, but that used to be Chinese, and they simp ly haven't moved. Slam is the great est goal of Bctual Immigration, having 2,600,000 Chinese, who have absorbed pretty much all the active trade of the country. In the Malay Peninsula, also 895,000 Chinese have nearly monopo lized trade under ' British rule. The Sunda isle have 600,000. The Philip pines, where the Chinese are already a problem, have only 80,000 of them. As Poor Rlohsrd Says. Blame-all and praise-all are two blockheads. No man e'er wa glorious, who wa not laborious.

It takes warm weather to bring out the hidden impurities, humors and poisons in the system and stir up the sluggish blood, and this is why boils are so common in Spring and Summer. They sometimes come singly, but oftener in pairs and triplets, and even in bunches and clusters, and generally upon the tenderest part of the body. They are the most painful of all skin eruptions, and the blood is in a turmoil, and the system in a feverish commotion from the time these volcanoes of misery begin to form until they burst and the matter is all discharged. But lucky is the unfortunate sufferer who gets off with only one boil, for even if another does not follow immediately, the poison that is left in the blood is bound to collect somewhere else and break through the skin, and these pyramids of pain may be coming and going all through the Spring and Summer. Some people have an idea that boils are good for the health, that they are evidences that the blood is too rich, but nobody's blood ever gets too rich; neither are boils conducive to health. Impoverished or polluted blood, or a riotous, feverish condition of this vital fluid causes boils, carbuncles, and other dangerous skin eruptions. thsWnnr1fnftwealc BOILS FOR OVER 15 YEARS. and sluggish to throw off the bodily impurities and re lieve the system of the waste and refuse, which then concentrates at some spot and a carbuncle or boil is the result To one already tnfeebled by disease boils seem to come with more frequency, causing the intens est pain and greatest danger to the already weak and debilitated sufferer. All skin eruptions, from the sometimes fatal car buncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are caused by bad blood, and the only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and build up the deteriorated, polluted blood, and counteract the humors and poisons, and nothing will do this so quickly and thoroughly as S. S. S., which is the acknowledged king of blood purifiers and greatest of all tonics. Where the blood has become impoverished and is poor and thin no medicine acts so prompt ly in building it up and restoring its richness, purity and strength The time to cure a boil is before it develops, when it is in a state of incubation or formation in the blood, for boils are, after all, only the impurities and poisons bubbling up through the skin, and this will continue in spite of poulticing and lancing till the blood gets rid of its accumulated poison. The way to stop boils is to attack them in the blood, and this is what S. S. S. does. All danger of boils IS past wnen me Dioou lias ueeu uiuruuguiy puiiucvA nuu the system cleansed of all morbid, impure matter. If you are subject to boils, then the same causes that produced ' them last season will do so this, and the sooner you begin to put your blood and system in good order the better the chance of going through the spring and summer season without boils or other minf ul and irritating skin eruptions. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and can be taken with perfect safety by old and young, and without harm to the most delicate constitution. It is mild and pleasant in its action,and unequalled as a cure for boils and kindred eruptions.
