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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

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.

LACE CAUSED FAMOUS QUARREL
Empress Josephine Cut a Coatlr Piece
and Napoleon Slapped Her.
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.

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

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. Y.
