The lee Habit in England.
The English have long laughed at
the American "ice habit," but they
are. now falling victims to it them
selves. Mot very long ago the attend
ants of public places in England,
where nearly everything except ice
was provided, would be insulted if one
complained because ioe could not be
had. Today all first-class places have
a few small lumps swimming in a
glass dish, and you pick these out with
sugar tongs. And in country inns and
even in seond-class houses they apolo
gize for not having it.

The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.

remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and

Dr. Johnson once met the village post
man trudging along the dusty road on a
tiot summer afternoon. The postman
jbserved that he had still a mile to walk
Just to deliver one newspaper. "My

doctor, "I'd never go all that distance
for such a trifle. Why don't you send
It by post?"
When "Bob" Taylor was Governor of
Tennessee, he was noted for being as
tender-hearted as a woman, and the
way he pardoned out convicts was
something awful. He was waited upon
by a committee of the Legislature, who
very flatly and in no uncertain way told
him that his "wholesale pardoning
must stop." "Gov'nor Bob" looked at
the committee, tapped a bell, asked for
his pardon clerk, and when h came
said: "Make out pardons for every
man In the Denitentiary." The clerk
bowed and withdrew. Then the Gov

Secretary of State Hay is one of the
most patient of men. He likes to be
helpful to newspaper wrrespondents,
and receives them freely in his office
and gives them such information and
hints as the proprieties will permit.
Even the representatives of the sensa
tional or yellow papers are treated with
courtesy, though naturally with due
caution. Imagine the Secretary's sur
prise one afternoon durlHg the heat of
the Chinese crisis (says Walter Well
man), when he was up to Bis ears in
work and anxiety, to hear from the lips
of William, his faithful messenger,
these words: "Mr. Secretary, the New
York i wants you to step to the tel
ephone." Mr. Hay gasped, caught his
tongue In the nick of time, recovered his
diplomatic, urbanity, and replied: "Say
that the Secretary expresses deep re
gret that Just at this moment he is very
much engrossed In important work."
Unfortunately what he said under his
breath could not, under the rules of the
telephone exchange, be sent over the
wires.
The king of Naples, in the plenitude of
his absolutism, paid one day a visit to
the Neapolitan prisons, in order to see
for himself what sort of men his crim
inals were, and whether they really de
served the punishments they were un
dergoing. "What is your sentence?" he
said to one. "Fifteen years, your Ma
jesty." "And what had you done?"
"Nothing whatever." "Quite innocent?"
"Entirely so, your Majesty." "And
you?" he asked another. "Thirty years,
sire. Victim of a false accusation."
"And you?" to a third. "In for life,
my King." "And what had you done?
"Everything you can think of, my
King: theft, burglary; highway rob
bery, manslaughter, murder. I only
wonder they did not sentence me to
death." "What Is your name?" asked
the King. "My name," replied the first
class criminal, "since I have been here
has been 912." After finishing his tour
of inspection, the King said to the Gov
ernor: "All the prisoners here seem to
be perfectly Innocent There is only
one bad man among them No. 912
Yon had better let him out, lest he cor
rupt the others."
Many of the newspaper biographers
of the late Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-
Cobitrg-Gotha, overlook the fact that
he was one. of America's small list of
royal guests. Several years ago, while
a midshipman in the British navy, he
made a brief stop at Vancouver's Isl
and, and was entertained at a ball giv
eu by the Governor. He was very much
struck ty the appearance of a girl who
seemed to be the belle of the assem
blage when he entered the room, and
learned by Inquiry that she was the
daughter of the Governor, whose wife
was a full-blooded Indian. The prince
asked the honor of a dance; but the
girl, having been educated at a finishing
school In Portland, Ore., held her head
very high, and, not knowing the
prince's social station, responded that
the Governor's daughter was entitled
to dance with officers of higher rank
than midshipmen. The prince took the
rebuff good-naturedly. His time for re
venge came when one of the Governor's
suite, not knowing of what had hap
pened, begged his royal highness' per
mission to present the Governor's
daughter as a partner for the next
waltz. The Prince politely declined,
remarking that "his mother would be
deeply mortified to hear that he had
danced with a squaw."
INDIANS SET THE LESSON.
North American Aborigine Taught
Other Peoples How to Fleht.
Anybody who knows anything at all
about modern fighting knows that the
North American Indian is the man who
sets the pace. First the American
frontiersmen studied his ways and
adopted his tactics and the soldiers took
it up. Baden Powell, so the plucky lit
tle South African general confesses,
first read about American scouts and
then took lessons from their teachers,
the Indians themselves. But now there
is a Blip in the chain and France is
studying the Indian without going to
the trouble of first ascertaining what
the best scout In the world, the Amer
ican soldier, thinks about it France is
trying the "flexicon march."
"Never get the leg straight," are the
French Instructions. "Keep the back
straight but bent forward. Do not
throw the shoulders either back or up."
That is about the way an Indian
walks, so Captain TJUne of the Twen
tieth Infantry confesses, but be goes
on, he never heard of the trick being
tried by military.
"I cannot discuss the merits of the
'flexicon,' " the captain said, "because
I am not famlliar'with it From the de
scription it is Just about the way the
Indian walks. His knee Is never
'locked' or thrust back, so as to have
the leg quite straight The Indian
rever uses the heel to the exclusion of
the ball of the foot but puts the sole
down all at once. Net all Indians are
footmen. I could name half a dozen
tribes which to my personal knowledge
go mounted always and almost every
where, even about their camp.
"The flexicon movement the Frencb
experimentalists are said to be tinker
ing with and copying from our Indians
is about the movement a soldier gets
when he is fatigued. I am not prepared
to-criticise it."
An English army officer, a subaltern,
here with the horse buyers, said con
cerning the new movement:
"The French are the greatest bunglers
In the world. They get the wildest no
tions, 'fads' I ought to call them, in
their pates. I remember once they de
cided to dress every man in Madagas
car in red flannel underclothing. Ev
ery man In the place got skin disease.
Then they went in for natural wool and
the men got worse. They admitted red
irritated the skin and then found thai
natural wool, being already charged,
with oil, could take no more, so was
worthless for absorbing perspiration.
Now they are fiddling with the flexicon
movement, evidently trying to step
ahead of the United States In follow
ing the Indian, and overlooking the
work the Indian does when he goes ol
what we call his 'dog trot,' scouting,
they propose to imitate his walk.
"It is my observation that a soldiei
requires this flexicon movement aftei
he has gone about four miles loaded
down with his equipment. The French
may teach him to always walk tired tc
death, but I do not think we shall evei
see the British or these American sol
diers at it.
Coming home to one's self, one
would not like to start to his work in
the morning with the tired-out look and
movement that he goes home with 11

of pride to pull one's self together foi
the day." Kansas City Journal.
Afraid It Would Break.
He was a big Irishman and his nam
was Pat He was fixing the teiepnont
wires and whistling to himself as h
worked. Just then a milk boy came
driving down the street, and Pat mad
a fatal mistake. Instead of attending
to his own business he tried to work
and watch the reckless driver at the
same time. The consequence was thai
he did neither. What he did do was
to lose his footing. There was a cry oi
horror from the bystanders below,
echoed by a lusty yell from above.
Every breath was suspended ana
then a shout of relief went up from the
crowd. Pat had made a frantic dive
for the wire and had caught it.
"Hold on, Pat," shouted someone who
knew him. "We win get you uowu
somehow."
Then a wave of horror swept over
the crowd. The man suspenoea De
twee n the earth and heaven suddenly
loosened his hold and fell backward,
striking the ground with a sickening
thud.
"He Is dead!" groaned the crowd, and
men covered their faces from the sight.
But he wasn't. When Pat came to
and sat up dizzily, trying to realize that
he-was once more on terra nrma, some
one said to him:
"What did you let go for, Pat? Why
didn't you hold on a little while longer?"
"Be jabers!" replied Pat earnestly.

Small but Very Strong.
The humming bird flies as the Irish
man played the fiddle by main
strength the frigate bird relies on hia
skill in taking advantage of every vary
ing current of air, and the skeleton of
the one indicates great muscular power,
while that of the other shows Its ab
sence. No other bird has such propor
tionately great muscles as the hum
ming bird, the keel of the sternum or
breastbone from which these muscles
arise runs from one end of the body to
the other, while at the same time it
projects downward like ihe keel of a
modern racing yacht. These muscles
drive at the rate of several hundred
strokes a minute a pair of small, rigid
wings, the outermost bones of which
are very long, while the Innermost are
very short, a feature calculated to give
the greatest amount of motion at the
tip of the wing with the least move
ment of the bones of the upper arm, to
which the driving muscles are attathed.
Another peculiar feature is that the
outermost feathers, the flight feathers
or primaries, are long and strong, while
the innermost, those attached to the
forearm, are few and weak; so far as
flight Is concerned, the bird could dis
pense with these secondaries and not
feel their loss. Finally the heart,
which we may look upon as the boiler
that supplies steam for this machin
ery, is large and powerful, as is neces
sary for such a high-pressure engine as
the little humming bird. Popular Sci

that the vanity of Syrian women is
sometimes most amusingly exempli- j

the hospital at Beriut succeeded in hav-

and numerous toilet accessories. In :
her locker were discovered a piece of j
lookingglass, a small quantity of
French chalk and a minute supply of !
rouge, all intended to aid in the decor- -ation
of her person for the impending
operation. She protested tearfully i
when the cosmetics were confiscated,

that she did not like to look so pale.

I WAS AT DEATH'S DOOK.
Gentlemen: I want to tell yon what yonr
5 Drops" has done for me. I was for two
years a sufferer of untold misery. My feet were
swollen so I could not wear shoes and my hands
were drawn so I could no: open them, nor
could I shut them. They cramped ' half shut.
My husband had me try every medicine he
could hear of and I still suffered untold agon
ies. Nothing I could get woald ease my pain,
until last November one of my neighbors had
Rheumatism so bad he could not walk. He
told my husband about "5 Drops" curing
him, so he got me a dollar bottle, and In three
weeks I walked without a cane and could use
my hands, something I had not done for two
years. I give all the praise to "S Drops."
My neighbors know that I was at death's door.
Now I have used four bottles ol "B Drops"
and can do my work with ease. I am still tak
ing it sometimes. If this will do any good to
ward getting suffering people to use S
Drops," Hse this aa you please. If any one
doubts this, send them to my friends and
neighbors. ELISABETH C. FINN, 2057 North

the circumstances which gave rise to
the injury, real or supposed.
