An anecdote which was current ol Ferdinand I. of Austria at one tlnx greatly delighted his subjects and gave rise to a common, saying. One sun mer day be was banting In the Syria i: mountains and was overtaken by u vloleitt thunderstorm. He sought ref uge In a farmhouse whose occupanti were Just then at dinner, and his fun cy was caught by some smoking dump lings made of coarse flour. He tnsteo them, liked them and asked for more and when he got to Vienna, to the hor ror of the royal cooks, be ordered tu same dumplings to be served up dully The courtiers were scandalized thai such a coarse dlsb should figure or the menu, und even bis physicians re monstrated against the use of suet food. The emperor had always been thi most pliant of men, but be now show ed that be had a will of his own and persisted In gratifying bis new fancy Finally the physicians pretended thai It was dangerous to bis health to be llvjng on dumplings and insisted on bit giving them up. The hitherto decllt sovereign stamped bis foot and de clared that be would never sign anotb er official document If his diet wen denied him. "Emperor I am." he shouted, "an dumplings I win haver To prevent a stoppage of the govern ment machinery opposition was with drawn, and bis majesty clurig tena clously to his dumplings. Then the Im perlal phrase became proverbial, and thereafter when any one Insisted or. gratifying a silly whim some one wai sure to say: "Emperor I am, and dumplings I wli' have!" RELATING TO IRON. Discovery -of the Metal, Aeeor4lns to Vojrloas ' Authorities. The Bible speaks of Tubal Cain aa the discoverer of Iron and the father of smiths. The Egyptians Imputed tc Hephaestus the same honor, while Pli ny mentions It having been discovered by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the forests on the mountain side bad been destroyed by lightning. This was about M32 years B. C. Jeremiah and Eze klel both mention Iron In their Scrip tural writings, the latter specially men tioning two qualities of the metal and calling one bright Iron, which waa prob ably steel. Moses -mentions an Iron furnace, and Job speaks of It as being taken out of the earth. Thousands of years before the opening of the Christian era the Egyptians used Iron la making sickles. knives and such things. Sparta first used Iron for money. Britain also used It as a medium of barter and exchange prior to the conquest by the Romans. The Britons before the time of Christ used to export Iron to Gaul, and after the Roman conquest the conquerors es tablished extensive smelting works, which existed at least as late as the Saxon -conquest St James' Gazette. Racial Discrimination. A small French-Italian coasting steamer was proceeding on Its way. The passengers were of various na tionalitiesEnglish, American, French, Italian and one large German. Most of the male passengers were gathered In the smoking room when the steward appeared at the' door and with a bow announced, "Dinner, It Is server The English and American contin gent arose and started Joward the din ing saloon. The steward, seeing that bis announcement bad not been under stood by all, continued, "Messieurs, e'est eervl!" and as a portion of the passengers still remained seated, "II pranzo e servlto!" The French and Italians followed the English and Americans, leaving the large German In solitary state. "Hlmmell" be muttered hungrily. "Is It dot no German mans gets some things to eat on dls boat, beln 7" Har per's Weekly. Tb Ena-Hah of India. Applying for a post In the police of the central provinces of India, a native wrote: "I have a good long equlllne nose, piercing eyelashes on a semy globular faee and a good physique. My family "has a history that takes my imagination back to three pedigrees, when my grandfather was a mlllloner. With the vlsslcltude and times matter change and my father was driven to the necessity to accept a schoolmaster ship. Ultimately he enjoyed his well earned pension by the time he gave up bis ghost In case my aspirations turn out a reality I shall as a matter of course be bound to prey God for your long life and prosperity." Conger Eel. Conger eels bunt for the octopus and, when found, proceed to browse on Its limbs. The octopus tries to hug the slippery, slimy conger tight, but In rain, and, finding Its limbs growing loss, discharges Its Ink In the face of the foe and under cover of the turbid water beats a hasty retreat It Is to escape the too pressing attention of Its foes that the octopus possesses the power of changing Its color to corre spond with that of its surroundings.

CHARING CROSS. , Hlatorr of This Ancient Landmark of Londop. In reading English history you will happen across numerous references to Charing Cross, but the chances are you will wonder If the allusion Is to a real cross erected as a memorial or simply a crossroad. Cbarlng Cross was for merly one of the noted landmarks o. Britain, and Its history Is an follows: In November of the year 1201 "Guod Queen Eleanor," as she was termed by her loyal subjects, was called to Join her husband, who was then making an expedition Into Scotland. When Elea nor had got as tar on her way aa Grantliam she sickened and died. The remains must, of course, be bur led at Westminster, and the funeral cortege started In that direction. During the time this royal funeral procession was slowly winding Its weary way toward the capital thou sands of people flocked to the wayside to get a glimpse of It It was a great event In the history of the ruml dis tricts, and they did everything possible to make the solemn occasion a mem orable one. Wherever the procession baited for the night or for other cause the people afterward set up a memorial. One of the longest stops was made at Charing, and subsequently a richly carved memorial cross was erected on the' site of the camp. This was the Cbarlng Cross of history. It sto-jil un til 1047, when the last vestige of It waa destroyed during the civil wars o( Charles I., the vandals who destroyed the relic claiming It to be a monument of popish superstition. Charing Cross as seen today was elected by the Southern Railway company In the yeat 1805. A SHIP WORTH TAKING. What the Capture of tn San Phtltpo Meant to Bnali.no. On the Oth of June. 158.', Drake, com ing back from "singelur. the king of Spain's beard In Cadiz," fell la with a huge vessel, which he -ipturcd. She proved to be the So a I'blllpe, an East Indiaman owned by the king of Spain himself and then the largest merchant man afloat Her cargo, valued at a are than a mil lion sterling of modern money, was In Itself the most valuable ever captured, but there was something else even more valuable than ths cargo. This consisted of the ship's .papers and ac counts, which disclosed to the mer chant adventurers of l;ngland all the methods and mysteries and the bound less possibilities or fie East India trade. Indeed. It would 'hardly be stretching the facts to say that th morning which saw the capture of the San rhlllpe saw also, the dawn of oui Indian empire. The Immediate result was the forma tion of the East India company, which was not only the greatest commercial corporation the world had ever seen. but also the only ona that ever com manded Its own armies and fleets and wielded powers little less than Impe rial. London Spectator. Tno Barlr Astronomers. The early astronomers were all as trologers snd claimed to be able to pre dict the future carewrs of various Indi viduals by "easting horoscopes" show ing the position of the planets at the time of their birth. The position and movements of tlie various celestial bodies were not only supposed to con trol the destinies of men. but were also thought to bring weal or woe, tempest or sunshine, upon the earth Itself. A man born when the sun was In the con stellation of 8corpto was believed to be naturally bent toward excessive Indul gence of the snlnml passions. One born when the sun was In Pisces was pre destined to grovel or be a servant, while one whoso earthly career was opened when the great luminary was In Aries would lie a great scholar and a man known to the world despite all opposing lnfluemtes.

The thick asphalt mixed with water, moves a little, and now and then an old tree comes slowly up from the depths. The men work with pickaxes, digging out the asphalt In lumps the size of pumpkins.

They sap the vitality and undermine tliu constitution by draining tlie system of its very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of these ulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after another fails. They patiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but in spite of all these the sore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround ing flesh, destroying the tissues and growing to be a festering, inflamed and anry mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not do to depend on external applications for a cure, because tliey do not reach the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with such treatment; the most they can do is keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is dangerous, for the reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind it. A cure can be brought about only through a remedy that can change the quality of the blood, and this is what S. S. S. does. It goes to the very bottom of the trouble, drives out the poisons and germs with which it is PURELY VEGETABLE. broken down it quickly builds it op and restores perfect health.

LIFE AMONG THE Father Damlen's companion and. last comforter Is In town, says the New York Herald. He Is the Rev. L. vifin ni uy, iiunoiuiiui y Jfl Itrm Uilu doctor of medicine, the one who serv ed with Father Damien among the lepers of Molokal, sat by him in his last Illness, gave him the priestly of fices at his lonely death and burled him under the tree which had been for more than three months Father Damlen's only shelter. Father Conrardy, on his way from Belgium to the far east, stopped here In the interest- of the new leper mis sion to be started In Canton China, a city with .10,000 helpless, unhelped, slowly rotting victims ot the most miserable of diseases. "You are going yourself among these people again?" he waa asked. "Myself, yes;" he replied. "I have the authority of my bishop, recom mendations to assistance from the Protestant missionaries and my ex perience with Father Damien." "But, If you get the disease?" "Ah, If I get the disease," he an swered (as if he were simply saying, "Oh, if I catch cold"), "I get It, that's all. We know nothing about the or' gln of leprosy; we know little about how It Is communicated. I did not get Infected In Molokal." Father Conrardy has a long white beard, clear brown eyes, and wears silver bowed spectacles. His skin Is clear and taut, as If from careful car bolic cleansings. No Fear aa Molokal. "I had no fear in Molokal and was there eight years; one year with Father Damien and seven years af ter. The lepers Indeed, were afraid of me, feared to touch me; but I lived with them, nursed them and nothing happened." He was born In Oregon of Belgian parents, and lie served with General O. O. Howard In his Indian fights served, that Is, as a peacemaker and arbitrator, passing from reds to whites with the trust of both, and finally ar ranging the terms with the Malheur Indians, known by ranchers as the "sheep eaters." "I used to be strong," he said. "Half my body has left me In Molokal. There I had Asiatic cholera, and of my llo pounds it took from me SO pounds." His talk Is straight, direct, with idioms which come from long use of a foreign language. "I had heard of Father Damien. I wrote to him to ask if I could help and he replied. I have his letter. Here, I cry to you,' It says (almost the last letter he ever wrote to any body!, 'I cry to you from the bottom of my heart to come to my assistance.' So I went That was In 1887. Father Damien had been touched with the disease. There were sores on his fingers. " 'If I lose my hands,' he said, 'what can I do? I shall have no use, I shall not be able to celebrate the mass I shall not be able to adminis ter the sacraments.' He was sad about that about the mass and his fingers were going:' Worse In Canton. "Out In Canton," Father Conrardy said, "the condition of lepers Is 60 times worse than In Molokal. There are 30,000 of them in the province of Canton 10,000 In the city. I want to help 300 of them. Three hundred of them have a preference for me," he said quaintly, "and It would be, oh, very easy to help them greatly. They are not Isolated now. They are not taken care of. They are avoided and left alone no one to feed them when they no longer have the capacity to feed themselves. A Jug of waterOknd somo rice Is placed near them, which they must get as best they can as they lie on their backs. .
