BAB BLOOD,
BAB 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
tame 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
11 eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
nd 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 ngly blotches and the red,
disfiguring' pimples.

It has4 often been claimed that the
presence of nickel in dust Is a sufficient
criterion to distinguish It as of cosmic
rather than terrestrial origin. It has
lately been shown that nickel is found

The cultivated oasis of Dakhla in the
Libyan desert has a copious water sup
ply, derived entirely from an under
ground bed of sand stone which is nev
er visible. The water rises to the sur
face through wells, averaging about
460 feet in depth. , Many of these wells
were made in ancient times, during the
Roman occupation. They fertilize broad
areas of cultivated lands, interspersed
with palm groves. The success of this
system of irrigation in Dakhla is inter
esting in connection with the projects
for supplying moisture to some of our
Western plains which are similarly un
derlain by hidden supplies of water.
The continually increasing demand
for India rubber, and the great interest
manifested in all efforts to prevent
waste of the trees from which rubber
is derived, have led our consuls in coun
tries where these trees grow to collect
many valuable facts concerning them.
Consul Goldschmidt at La Guaira re
cently transmitted to Washington some
highly interesting statements about the
rubber, or caoutchouc, trees, of the up
per Orinoco by Dr. Lucien Morisse, who
has made extensive personal investiga
tions in that region. Dr. Morisse
makes the somewhat surprising state
ment that the prohibition of the Vene
zuelan Government against the felling
of the trees is altogether unnecessary,
because "it relates to an immense for
est measuring upward of 74,000,000
acres, where caoutchouc exists in
abundance, and which it would require
millions and millions of hands to ex
ploit, whereas it only contains three or
four thousand Indians, not more than
the tenth part of whom are engaged In
the work."
Some interesting details have lately
been published concerning the use of
ozone in purifying water. Ozone is oxy
gen in a highly active condition and it
occurs in small quantities in the air
of the sea and of the mountains. Near
Berlin an establishment has been erect
ed for the purpose of experimenting on
the effects of ozone in ridding water of
the microbes it contains. Ozonized air
containing from 2 to 3 grams per cubic
meter (a cubic meter equals 220.09 gal
lons and a gram is about 15 grains) is
passed upward into a tower which is
filled with flints and in its passage
meets the water coming down and thus
acts upon It It has been shown that,
as regards water from the Spree, the
number of microbes was decreased
from 600,000 per cubic centimeter (.061
cubic Inch) to 10, which Is practically
nil. The total cost is set down at 35
cents per 1,000 cubic feet. Ozone has
long been known as "nature's disin
fectant," and its application to the puri
fication of water becomes, therefore, a
matter of great interest If the cost
can be reduced this mode of purifica
tion may have a chance of widespread
adoption.
JUST AS GOOD.
Backwoods Merchant Who Always Had
What a Customer Wanted.
Abel Judkins kept the corner store in
Centerville, and it was his boast that
no man who patronized him need lack
for anything he wanted, provided he
had the wherewithal to' pay.
Occasionally seme unreasonable per
son would ask for a commodity not in
cluded in Abel's list; but if he did so.
he was either provided with some
thing which Mr. Judkins assured him
was better than the article he had de
tired, and served exactly the same
purpose, or he was made to feel that
it was, for some dark and mysterious
reason, no longer "carried" by any
progressive and self-respecting shop.
When a carping summer resident,
whose pair of ancient bellows, bought
at an auction sale, had collapsed be
yond repair, expressed surprise that no
bellows were to be had of Mr. Judkins,
the Centerville storekeeper turned upon
her with a lofty smile.
"Folks here, ma'am," he said, cold
ly, "don't hold with getting so took
up with old ideas, or being so narrow,
as some of those that summer with us
from below. The advances of civili
zation are prized here in this town,
the alr-tlghts with drafts are more
thought of than old chinibly fireplaces
that require constant feeding and have
to be bio wed on to keep 'em a-going.
He glanced at the summer resident.
but could discover no special signs of
weakening or humility in her face,
With a briskness which always marked
his mercantile proceedings, he changed
in a twinkling from the advocate of
progress to the upholder of primitive
methods.
"But folks will be folks, ma'am," he
said, indulgently, "and if you like an
open glow I don't know what's to hin
der. And better than any bellows that
ever were made, ma'am, is an onion-
stalk. I can fit you out complete with
three stout ones at this present, and
when you've blowed them out o use

CHANGE SECURED AT HOME.
Value of New Surrounding's for an
Invalid Shown.
The doctor looked at his young pa
tient with rather a dissatisfied air.
"Why do you not get well?" he asked
her, somewhat impatiently. "Your fe
ver left you long ago, and you; have no
organic trouble, and yet you stay just
in the same state day after day. You
will hurt my reputation if you keep on
in this way," he added, jokingly; but
on leaving the room, he spoke more seri
ously.
"She must be roused In some way.
he said to her mother and the trained
S
nurse who was in attendance. - "What
she really needs is a change, but she la
too weak in her present condition to
travel. I am going to try an experiment
which will do no harm and may do
good.
"I .want yon to let me have another
bedroom for her. and arrange it quite
differently from the way it is now.
Hang up new chintz curtains and put
furniture in it she is not familiar .with.
A, room with a fireplace. If possible.
Light a bright little wood fire, and buy
her a pretty new dressing gown. We
will give her a radical change in her
own house and see what that will do."
A couple of days afterward the ciri
was told that she was so much better
that she was going to be moved into
another room; and, despite her reluct
ance, the changewas made.
The next day she showed languid
pleasure at her pretty and novel sur
roundings, her diet was altered, ana
she gradually acquired an appetite. In
a pretty new dressing jacket, she re
ceived the compliments of the doctor
and nurse with complacency, and from
that time on began to convalesce rap
idly. 'All going to prove," said the doctor.
"that absolute change is often an es
sential toward recovery, and that the
required stimulus may. be given, if nec
essary, at home."
Even to those who are In health the
benefits of a home change should not
be underrated, says the New York Trib-
e. "I like to get a new cook because
it is the only way we get different
food." said a young married woman;
but the more experienced housekeeper
appreciates the imperative hygienic
value of change, and varies the family
diet accordingly. ,
Every woman has experienced the
mental and even moral stimulus of a
new gown (always provided it has been
paid for), but not every one recognizes
the fact that it is the same with domi
ciliary surroundings, and that to occa
sionally make a different arrangement
of furniture is a good thing, while
small novelties in the way of new books
and periodicals, a change of dress, and
particularly the menu, all go to bright
en the home atmosphere and give a
tired man the change he really requires.
The Trade of Palestine.
The account of the trade of Palestine
during the year 1900, given in the con
sular report recently issued, is fairiy
hopeful, though neither the exports
nor the imports reach the level at
tained in 1889. The prosperity of. the
country depends still, as it always has
done, and most probably always will
do, upon the fruits of the earth. Cen
turies before the present era. corn and
wine and oil were among the chief
boons of the "promised land," and
though we hear little now of the first.
the other two are regaining their an
cient reputation. To melons, which
also were valued in ancient days, a
new fruit has been added the orange.
This, indeed, and the grape, are now
the most important products of Pales
tine, though the' exports of the former
have declined considerably in value
the last few years. t Jaffa oranges,
however, maintain their reputation, so
that it may be hoped that the depres
sion is only temporary. Southern Pal
estine has always been noted for its
vineyards; it was Judah who "bound
his foal to the vine and washed his
clothes in the blood of the grapes.
Is the Lion Intelligent?
After prolonged experiment, M.
Hachet-Souplet has reached the con
clusion that there can be no doubt that
the lion is the possessor of reasoning
faculties. Of course this conclusion
is based on observation, not on hypo
thesis. Among the experiments was
one which took place at the Museum of
Natural History, within a stone-throw
of the statue of Chevfeul, the scientist
centenariau. A lion was presented un
aware with a closed box containing an
appetizing piece of meat. The point
to determine was whether the animal
would be smart enough to discover the
secret, open the box "and secure' the
coveted morsei through means of his
own. The king of animals did not dis
appoint the scientist who had faith in
his judgment. After hesitating a little.
the lion raised the lid of the box with
his nose, and although he went at it at
first in the wrong' way, he deliberately
put the box in the proper position, ex
actly as a man would have done. It
took him exactly three minutes, and
a written report of the occurrence was
signed by the witnesses.

wheel steamer, armed with one gun.
In time of peace she is engaged in haul
ing freight up and down the river
which runs close to the capital. At the
outbreak of one of the periodical wars,
not so very long ago, the President of
the republic took charge of the steamer
and started up stream on a recruiting
expedition, leaving' his senior general
in charge f the military preparations
at the capital. A couple of days later
the steamer returned, and some sev
enty miserable looking natives, each
firmly bound with a strong rope, were
marched off and turned over to the gen
eral, with a note from the President
which read:
"Dear General: I send you herewith
seventy volunteers. Please return the
ropes at once."

DESDEMONA'S FEET.
They Quite Broke C the Scene for
Elder Salvlni.
From the sublime to the ridiculous is
but a step, and in an anecdote recently,
related by Clara Morris, the feet which
took that step are Very conspicuous.
It was when Tommaso Salvinl was in
this country. The play of the evening
was "Othello.' and the scene of Desde
mona's death had been reached.
Already the raging Moor had slain
his innocent victim, -and disturbed by
Emilia's knock, had let fall the cur
tain's before the conch on which the
body lay.- The draperies provided, al
though rich and heavy, did not come to
the floor. They missed it by a space
of at least a foot, and this the deceased
Desdemona unfortunately failed to
observe.
The audience, which had been held
tense and breathless under the tragic
spell of the great actor, suddenly ut
tered a curious, long-drawn breath of
amazement, followed by a bobbing -of
many heads, a universal craning -of
necks, and then, to poor Salvlni's be
wilderment and dismay, by a burst of
downright laughter. He could perceive
nothing amiss, and there was nothing
for him to do but to ignore the laugh
ter and proceed with the scene. But no
wonder the people laughed!
The murdered Desdomona had risen
and was evidently sitting on the side
of the couch, for beneath the curtains
her dangling feet were plainly seen,
kicking cheerfully back and forth.
Such utterly unconscious feet they
were that the audience might not have
laughed again had they kept still; but
all at once they began a heel-and-toe
step, and people rocked back and forth
trying to suppress their merriment.
And then swiftly the toe of the right
foot went to the back of the left ankle
and scratched vigorously.
Restraint was ended; every one et
go and laughed and laughed. From the
box one could see in the entrance the
outspread fingers, the hoisted shoul
ders, the despairingly shaken heads of
the Italian actors, who could find no
cause for the uproar.
Salvlni behaved perfectly In that dis
turbed and distressed, he showed no
sign of anger, but maintained his dig
nity through It all, even when, In draw
ing the curtains and disclosing Desde
mona dead once more, the Incompre-j
hensible daughter again broke out.
The Butler Earl.
In old days, when kings received per
sonal service from their most trusted
nobles, simple offices were created,
such as cup-bearer, chamberlain, but
ler, which have descended as titles of
high rank. In a more complex world
the service has been lost sight of, and
only the outer circumstance and dig
nity of the oflice remain. For instance,
the Duke of Norfolk, earl marshal of
England, is hereditary chief butler of
the realm.
A story of his youth, told in the New
York Times, brings into curious rela
tion the real rank of the man and his
theoretic function.
When he was a young man he was
reticent, and at evening receptions used
to paste himself flat against the wall
and say nothing. - On one occasion a
sprightly couple came by him, chatter
ing and wrapped up in themselves.
"I wish you'd bring an ice here," said
the man to the silent black and white
figure against the wall.
The upright young man obeyed. As
he came back with the refreshments the
lady noticed the ungloved hand that
reached her the glass.
"I don't believe that man is a ser
vant," she whispered. "Ask some
body."
Meanwhile the duke had met a
friend, and with grim humor had told
his experience. The man who had
made the mistake was introduced to
the duke, who said:
"Well, I congratulate you. You had
penetration to detect the hereditary
chief butler of England when he was
in plain evening dress. There isn't
much difference between- a chief butler
and a head waiter, you know."
Intelligent Squirrels.
A party of young people, who In last
summer's holiday journeyed through
the country gypsy-like in a caravan,
witnessed in a grove near a glen the
following incident, which seems to
show a friendly understanding among
squirrels:
An al fresco dinner had just been
finished and the party were still sitting
at the table, when a red squirrel, with
glistening, eager eyes, came creeping
down a tree which stood near the ta
ble. He crept nearer and nearer, and
finally leaped upou the table.
The lady who was presiding said:
"Yes, help yourself to anything you
want!"
Upon this invitation the little fellow
made bold to creep up to a loaf of
bread from which only a slice or two
had been cut. He seized it and
dragged it to the side of the table, and
somehow managed to scramble down
the Bide with it to the ground. He
then fixed his teeth in the crust, and
dragged it away and down the steep
sides of the glen.
But when he reached the bottom and.
confronted the rise on the other side,
it was too much for him. Then he gave
a sort of call, which seemed to be un
derstood, for soon squirrels were seen
coming from several directions. They
crowded round him, and after a little
conference all took hold, and with a
tug and strain they managed to bring
the loaf to the top of the hill. Then
they disappeared with it in the woods
beyond. Family Herald.
