Salt Rheum- You may call it eczema, tetter or milk cruet. But no matter what you call it. this skin disease which conies in patches that burn, itch, discharge a watery matter, dry and scale, owes its existence to the presence of humor's in the system. It will continue to exist, annoy, and perhaps agonize, as long as these humors remain. It is always radically and permanently cured by Hood's Sarsaparilta which expels all humors, and is positively unequaled for all cutaneous eruptions.

' DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, and when It is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Y. BAD BLOOD, DAD COMPLEXION. The skin is the seat of an almost end less variety of diseases. . They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Etornal vlgllanoo I tho proo of a beautiful oomplmxlon when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe,-704 Lucas Avenue, St. Irals, Ho., says : " My daughter was afflicted for years vrith a disfiffuruig eruption on her face, which reiiated all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene, fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with out resulC vatll wc decided to try 8.

For $2,000 has been sold In Paris a piece of lace which was the cause of a quarrel between Napoleon and Jo sephine, in Which the cheeks of the Em press were slapped. It had been the property of Mile. Pernsset, daughter of a favorite maid of the flighty Empress. Napoleon bad brought the lace from Italy. He often brought ber beautiful things on his return from a successful campaign, and Josephine never asked him how he bad got them, for she thought that perhaps he would not care to tell. It was a large square of the finest old point de Venise, and Josephine, as soon as she had it in ber possession, sent for M. Duplan, her man-milliner, and asked him to make with it a certain fichu and a peplum. 'Impossible, your majesty," answered Duplan, "the piece Is too Urge, and we could not arrange it gracefully." "Well, cut it, then!" "Cut a treasure such as that! Oh, madam, I could not do such a thing!" "Nonsense!" cried Josephine. The lace was draped on her shoulders j-'she knew how she wanted it; so she calmly took a pair of scissors, and in a second had It set right, while long, narrow pieces of the priceless stuff fell round her. - At this moment the Emperor entered the room. "Cannlbale!" ha cried. And he gave her a sounding slap on her violently rouged cheeks, which were soon covered with tears. Duplan dis creetly withdrew, and the lace was thrown Into a chest of drawers. Jo sephine could not bear tbe sight of after that, and gave it to Mme. Perus set, her favorite maid. The odd bits of It have now been sold for $2,000. An other bundle fetched $1,000. The passion of Josephine for lace caused frequently scenes between her and Napoleon. She would have lace, and she seldom let anything stand In the way of acquiring it. It is even said that this frivolous fancy helped to bring about her downfall, for Na poleon, who at first would not hear of forsaking ber, one day said to the Prince De Wagram: "The cup Is full now, Prince. . What do yon think Jo sephine did lately? , 'Nobbled one of my young generals, and made him pass lace for her In his top boots through my own frontier! Her soul Is made of lace. Prince, and that Is too fragile a stuff for an Empress' soul!" GALLANT SENATOR SPOONER. I he Wisconsin Man Buys a Woman's Fried Oysters in a Restaurant. While the national convention of the W. C. T. U. was In session In Wash ington one of the California delegates. an elderly lady, went Into a restaurant on G street, looked the bill of fare over carerully, ana ordered fried oysters. "How many?" asked the waiter. "Oh," she said, remembering the di minutive oyster of California, "I guess a dozen and a half will do." The waiter lifted his eyebrows, but took the order back to the kitchen. In due time he appeared with an enormous platter full of fried oysters, each half as large as a man's hand. " The California lady nearly fainted. "Take them away," she gasped. "I never, never ordered that great mass of food." "That's a dozen and a half fried oys ters, ma'am," the waiter replied. There was some hysterical but vain argument on the part of the delegate rrom California. She was told she would have to pay ror the oysters, but she needn't eat them unless she chose to do so. - Just then Senator Spooner came In and sat down at the next table. The W. C. T. TJ. delegate, almost In tears, leaned over and asked imploringly :"Oh, sir, ao you like fried oysters?" Senator Spooner stared. "I . have eaten them, madam," he replied, with dignity. . "Then please buy these; please, please do." "But," said the SeDator, laughing, "I never eat them now, for I find they promote indigestion." The lady exhibited ber white ribbon badge and Implored again: "Oh, you haven't eaten anything yet; please buy these," "Well, I'll buy them, but I assure you madam, I do not contract to eat them." - And he paid the check, while the delegate from California almost ran out of the restaurant.

Japan and South America have been shaken so often and so violently that an earthquake there Is hardly worth notice. In 1854 a wave traversed tbe Pacific from Japan and broke on the American coast. Sailors say a wave over fifty feet high Is an Impossibility, but a wave ninety feet high destroyed Callao, Peru, in 1586.

Professor Tower relates that during the rush of gold seekers to California In 1849 and 1850 the emigrants lost and threw away potatoes which" took root, until there was a more or less continuous line of potato plants from Council Bluff along the Platte River to the canons of the Colorado region. The beetles, which bad been confined to the potato patches of the canons, took advantage of the situation, and along the highway of in vasion thus opened for them began "heir triumphant and destructive march eastward. The science of clouds has attracted many devotees within the past few years, and photography has greatly as sisted in advancing it. Clouds, like stars, become far more Interesting to the non-scientific observer of nature when he knows the names attached to them. While the grandest and most imposing form of cloud is the domed and pinnacled cumulus which fre quently accompanies thunderstorms, the most beautiful is the feathery cir rus. Cirrus clouds sometimes exist at enormous elevations. While their mean height is about 29,000 feet the height of Mount Everest they have been measured at an elevation of 49, 000 feet, or more than nine miles. They move with great velocity, about ninety miles an hour on the average, and in winter sometimes more than 200 miles an hour. v Some of the astronomical photo graphs made at the Harvard Observ atory reveal the fact that in April, 1899, a new star appeared in the con stellation Aquila. At first its spectrum resembled the spectra of other new stars, but in October a photograph showed that the character of the light had changed, and now its spectrum was that of a gaseous nebula. Last summer a telescopic observation of this curious object was made by Pro fessor Wendell at Cambridge, and he confirmed the evidence of the photo graph showing that it had become a nebula. Such occurrences are rare, and one explanation of -them is that they , are the result of collisions in space, the heat developed being suffi cient to turn solid matter into gas and vapor. ' . . WANTED SOME PARENTS. Short Sermon on 1he Proper Training of Children. Some parents, remember! Not all parents. Various recent occurrences so shocking as to arouse universal repul sion and horror, seem to indicate that there is a screw loose somewhere else than in the laws of the country or In the moral constitution of society. Such things don't happen all at once. They come from gradual causes and from an increasing carelessness in the ordinary safeguards to decent living. ., If morality is the product of evolu tion, as the scientists say, we seem yet to be a long way from the perfect prod uct. Possibly, if we were to try the evolutionary theory of extinction of the unfit, we might find a considerable weeding out of parents to be a help in the solution. The Greeks had their convenient way of disposing of useless people, but the Greek way seems to us like the worst sort of savagery. It had an element of modern force, however, How would it do to try state manage ment for the families of the parents who cannot manage to keep their chil dren at home nights or, keeping them there, cannot manage to make them happy there? . How about the parents who don't even try and who have no more idea of systematic training In morality than they have of the world wide economic value of the "ounce of prevention?" - . The modern method of bringing up children is getting to be Increasingly on the theory that "knowledge is pow er;" that the more children can gather of the life of the streets and the life of the world the better. In fact, the belief in knowledge alone is the bane of the day. We have manual training and physical training and athletic training, but the finest training of all the training of tbe home is slighted. To give boys and girls sound, whole some bodies is a fine thing; perhaps it is even finer than to give them well trained brains, but finest of all is It to make them of pure heart and clean speech. To Implant in a child that In stinctive dislike of coarseness and grossness which shall be like the spear of Ithurlel to detect the weakness and falsity of evil suggestions, even though masked under the hood of truth this Is a function which belongs first of all to the parent No other human being can oo It . ' The school can give lis many things. It can give us boys and girls of intelli gence and physical soundness. It can Instruct our children In their duties as citizens. It can even el ve them thm I surface seemlngs of ethical instruction, out tne parent and tbe borne alone give them character. The finest -department of ethics that a boy can graduate from is that which opens when his own door is reached. If be doesn't find ethics; there and find them In his earlv davs' he is pretty ant never to eet the cenn- Ine thing. And some fine morning his parents wake ud to see their ann'a name figuring In some such tragedies as have come to shock public knowl edge lafely and will keep on coming, doubtless, until the world realizes more forcibly what a tremendous need there Is of fathers and mothers innn,ki-o Minneapolis Times. HER CARGO GAVE TROUBLE. Took Liquid Aapha't on Board Which bolldinel In Transit, When the British - ateamshln vTiir- quolse, from Trinidad, arrived at the Hanover street wharf CaDtain Thomas. with a worried exnresslon on hia bronzed face, hurried to the nearest shipping office. 'I want a gang of miners to unload my ship," he announced. "Stevedores, you mean. All riirht sir," said one of the clerks. 'No, I don't mean stevedores: I mean miners," replied the captain, with feel ing. "1 want 'em to blast out my car go." "Why, what" "Which consists of one asphalt mine." the mariner added. "How'd I get the mine aboard ship? Well, I didn't know I had it till we got Into Dort It Inst grew there on the way up," And then ne spun a sad, sad yarn. It developed that at Trinidad the Turquoise took on 2.640 tons of as phalt for this city. The stuff was load ed In chunks through the hatches, and according to the usual process would nave Deen taken out in the same form. Lnfortunately the ship on Its Das- sage north' ran Into the torrid wave. Anyone who has walked around the city hall on a hot day knows what heat noes to asphalt Captain Thomas knew, but he had hoped that it might De different at sea and he gave no more thought to the matter until one day when hi heard some of the men talking about getting up a roller-skating con test on the cargo. Then he investiga ted. He found that as an effect of the heat the chunks of asphalt had solidi fied into one firm mass, stretchiner the entire length of the hold. -Exactly what he said is not a matter of record, hut it is understood that after shivering his timbers once or twice he remarked that he didn't know he was carrying "a blasted old boulevard" up to the States. - "Now you know whv I want n trantt of miners," he said to the clerk at the finish of his narrative. He was referred to the proper persons and a little while later a shaft was sunk in the cargo, electric lamps were burnlntr below decks, a force of men with picks and shovels was laboring and .the frequent swinging of huge chunks of asphalt through the hatches Indicated that the miners were progressing. Philadelphia North American. r t Told by the Grocer. "I'll tell you how I lost a good custo mer the other day," said the grocery man. "I have one customer who Is ex tremely deaf, and to make her hear I have to just yell at her. It takes about half an hour to get her order, and by that time my voice Is pitched so high that I can't get it down to earth again. "Yesterday it happened that after she left In came Mr. Oldboy, who is a per feet crank. Was In the army once and a, great stickler for bowing and scrap ing and all that sort of thing; wants a fellow he trades with to salute and pre sent arms and do all kinds of things,", quotes the Indianapolis Sentinel. "He came In and said: 'Good-morning.' I wish you had heard me yell at him My voice made the windows rattle. -He looked surprised, but went on talking to me, and I kept up answering him In a voice that could be heard a block away. He got madder and madder, but I never knew what was up until finally he got red in the face and said: 'Mr. Black, sir. I am not deaf, sir, and I re sent your yelling at me as if I couldn't hear a cannon fired In my ear. With that out he went "You see, I had been talking to the deaf lady and couldn't get my voice down again. You try It some time and see if you don't yell at every one you meet Funny, too, but I always yell at blind people and foreigners, and I al--ways whisper when I go in where any one's sick."

From the Journal, MmntPtevanttlotn. Another person released from tho terrible grasp of an agonizing disease, another name added to the long list of those who have received new life by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. For years a sufferei from tbe cruel disease of St. Vitus' Dance, scarcely able to move, the power of speech al most gone, and all efforts to cure her proving in vain, Mrs. Minnie Fiedler, Mt. Plesant, Iowa, thought her case hopeless and sne bad sunk to tbe blackest depths of despair. She turned as a last resort to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and the won ders worked by this remarkable medi cine are told in her own words: "I was afflicted for years with St. Vitus' Dance. The first symptoms of the disease began in 1889, when the nerves began twitching in my left hand. I consulted physicians of this city, but none of them ever-did me a particle of good. After I bad suf fered for two and one half years, the disease continuing to grow worse, I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "It was in 1891 that I was induced to try them, and I was surprised at my rapid improvement. I took only two boxes, and was entirely cured.- It was hard to ' realize that I, who for over two years was scarcely able to walk, and who often found it almost impossible to talk, should be restored to perfect health and in full possession of all of my powers by two boxes of this wonder ful remedy. "I am happy to state that my health is still perfect and I have never had the slightest symptoms of a return of the disease, although it is eight years since I was cured. "I know of others who have been likewise benefitted and are as grateful as myself." MRS. MINNIE FIEDLER. All the elements necessary to gjve new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves are contained, in a condensed form, in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They are also a specific for troubles peouliar to females such as suppressions, irregu larities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore tho glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental strain, over work or excesses of what ever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50, and may be had of all druggists, or diiect by mail from Dr. Willims Medicine Company, Schnectady, N.
