Blood Poison
There is no poison so highly contagious,
so deceptive and so destructive. Don't be
too sure you are cured because all external
signs of the disease have disappeared, and
the doctor says you are well. Many per
sons have been dosed with Mercury and
Potash for months or year, and pro
nounced cured to realize when too late
that the disease was only covered up

cation find those nearest and dearest to
them have been infected by this loath
some disease, for no other poison is so
surely transmitted from parent to child
as this. Often a bad case of Rheumatism,

an old sore or ulcer developing in middle
life, can be traced to blood poison con-

the only antidote for this peculiar virus,
the only remedy known that can over

it does this so thoroughly and effectually
that there is never a return of the disease

The new sewage disposal scheme of
a German chemist, Erich Springborn,
is the conversion of the solid matter
into blocks for fueL This fuel is re
ported to be -smokeless and to burn
without disagreeable odor, and the cost
of the process would be covered by the
sale of the blocks at a moderate price

Some Interesting additions to our
knowledge, not only of geography but
of anthropology, may be expected from
the expedition of W. Fitzhugh White
house, an American," and Lord Hindlip,
an Englishman, into Abyssinia and the
regions of the Upper Nile. Among the
curious places to be explored Is the dis
trict of Walamo, reputed to be infested
with deviis. Mr. Whitehouse intends
to spend a month in Walamo with the
intention of discovering the reason
why the natives of the country believe
that it is possessed by demons.
Father Schreiber, of the Haynald Ob
servatory, at. Kalocsa, Hungary,- has
invented an electric apparatus for re
cording distant thunder storms. An
electric wave, set in motion by a flash
of lightning, is registered by a detector
resembling in its action that used In
the Marconi telegraph system. The
impulse h communicated to a pen con
nected with a disk moved by clock
work, and when the pen makes its rec
ord a bell Is rung whose vibration re
sets the coheher. Storms raging Invis
ibly twenty miles away are thus re
corded, and on one occasion, on a
bright day, the apparatus made known
the prevalence of a violent storm In
Budapest, sixty-eight miles distant.
An example of the dramatic effects
in which nature seems sometimes to
indulge Is furnished by ProfessorJHugo
De Vrles' description, in a recent lec
ture on the mutation of species, of the
appearance sometimes presented by
the large-flowered evening primrose in
Holland. This plant was introduced
into Holland from America about a
hundred years ago, and has now es
caped from cultivation. The plant at
tains a height of five feet or more, and
is thickly covered with flowers, whose
size and brilliant color attract imme
diate attention, even from a distance.
The flowers open shortly before sun
set, "and this so suddenly," says Pro
fessor De Vries, "that it seems as If a
magic wand had-touched the land and
covered It with a golden sheet!"
The biological stations of the New
England coast has solved the problem
of lobster culture. Several thousand
of the young fry are put Into a cylin
drical scrim bag about three feet In
diameter and four feet deep, and the
water In the submerged bag is con
stantly agitated by a dasher driven by
a gasoline engine. This prevents the
fry from smothering or devouring one
another, at the same time keeping their
food of soft clam fragments within
reach. In nine to sixteen days from
the eggs the creatures are able to take
care of themselves, this stage being
reached by sixteen to more than forty
per cent of the fry, although no pre
vious experiment had one per cent of
survivors. The fish hatcheries can
now save the lobster Industry.
STARTING A NEW FAD.
Girl Just Feturned from Europe Car
ried a Nutmeg.
She had just returned from Europe,
bedecked with any number of little
trlukets she wouldn't have dreamed
of wearing before taking a trip abroad.
In all this wealth of strange adorn
ment there was one ornament that ap
pealed with especial force to the curi
osity of the visitor. This unique dec
oration was a little ball, oblong in
shape and grayish-brown In color.
It was partially incased in gold fili
gree work and was worn suspended
from the belt by a tiny gold chain.
There was a gold pin at one end ol
this chain, and every little while the
girl from Europe would unharness the
trinket and apply it to her nostrils with
deep .whiffs of satisfaction. The vis
itor watched this pantomime for sev
eral minutes with growing interest,
and finally, after an unusually pro
longed inhalation, she said:
"I do wish you'd tell me what that
thing Is."
The girl from Europe laughed, 't
was looking for you to ask that," she
said "I was trying to arouse your
curiosity. Here, take a whiff yourself
and see If you recognize the perfume."
The visitor raised the little ball to
the tip of her own nose and drew sev
eral long breaths. "Why," she said,
"it smells for all the' world like a nut
meg." "And that's Just what it is," said the
girl from Europe.
The visitor sat down In a state of
collapse. "You don't mean to say,"
she Interrogated, "that they are wear
ing nutmegs over In Europe?" .
"Well, no," returned the "girl from
Europe. "They're not exactly wear
ing them in loads, but they do have
them. They are rather exclusive as
yet. The fact Is I am reviving an old
custom. I always did have a knack,
you know, of doing odd things. When
I go into strange places I don't go
mooning around In a sleepy kind of
way, but I keep my eyes and ears
open, and the consequence is I see and
hear a good many things In the course
of a week that other people wouldn't
find out In a lifetime. One of the
things I 'discovered in England was
the old nutmeg custom. There are a
number of them In museums that were
used by fine ladies of past genera
tions. Those nutmess were incased
' In gold. Just like this, but the casings
were set with Jewels and were natural
ly very expensive.
"I haven't the jewels, but I've got
the nutmeg and the gold filigree for a
starter, and when I go around taking
refreshing whin's at this fragrant lit
tle knob I feel as If I had been just
resurrected from a seventeenth-century
mausoleum and was tickling my
senses with the odor of a nutmeg of
long ago. I always did like the smell
of nutmeg, anyway, even in custards
flnrl nnnl nip. I knew a number of
I people in England this summer who
followed toy lead by coming bom
.with gold nutmegs." : ; .
The visitor returned the gold case
with Its 5-eent ball of perfume."
"Well,"- she said, "of all the fads I
ever beard of that Is the most ridicu
lous. Do you suppose It will take?"
"Quite likely," said the girl from
Europe, according to the New York
Times. "History has already repeat
ed herself In all other customs, and
I'm doing all I can to push the nut
meg craze along." : '
ANECDOTES OF CARLYLE.
He Did Not Iook with Favor on Be
vision of the Scriptures.
In a paper in the Century James D.
Hague records these recollections of a
visit to Thomas Carlyle in company
with Professor Tyndall and Rear-Admiral
Raymond Rogers. -
The talk touched mainly upon topics
of the day. I remember that there
was some discussion concerning the
Revised Version of the Scriptures, in
which work a commission of eminent
scholars and theologians .was at that
time engaged. - Carlyle seemed to re
gard the - undertaking with but little
favor. He thought it useless, and said
he believed the old familiar version
would retain its place with the com
mon people. Little good, was to be
hoped for from the new. "One thing
is certain," he said: "every man who
helped to make the old version be
lieved that unless he did his whole
duty he would be eternally damned,
while not a single one of the new lot
believes anything of the sort."
'Early in the conversation Carlyle ap
parently, Interested In the personality
of his visitors, turned to me with an
Inquiry touching my vocation and ca
reer. I told him I was a practical ge
ologist, especially concerned in mining
pursuits.
"What do you mine for?" he asked.
"Gold and silver," I replied.
"Gold!" he exclaimed. "You mine for
gold! That's a good-for-nothing pur
suit. The biggest gold nugget ever
found was never half so useful to the
world as one good, mealy potato."
I sought to defend my position by
saying that many a good, mealy pota
to and many other things of equal val
ue had since grown in California . and
elsewhere, which never would have
grown at all If the way had not been
opened by those who went there first
to seek for gold. This did not seem to
change his mind; but when we came
away he went with us to the door,
asking after several friends in Ameri
ca and sending personal greetings; and
at last, turning to me and placing his
hand on my shoulder, he said, as
nearly as I can now recall his words,
'Young man, don't let anything I have
said to you to-night change your mind
about your work. Do your work in
dustriously and stick to it faithfully,
and all will be well in the end."
LIPTON'S FAITHFUL SALESMAN.
Hia Persistency in Making a Sale Was
Suitably Rewarded.
Sir Thomas Lipton, the famous
yachtsman, and head of what is prob
ably the largest retail provision busi
ness in Great Britaaln, is one of those
men who believe in personally keeping
an eye on their employes.
To this end, when in London, he oft
en pays a surprise visit to one or an
other of his large -establishments, and
departments, noticing everything but
saying very little.
As might be expected, among the
many thousands of men and women
whom he employs there are some who,
never having seen the head of the
firm, possess but a very hazy notion
of his personal appearance.
Sir Thomas chanced upon one of
these a week or two ago, and for a
few minutes the bystanders enjoyed
a little quiet fun.
This particular clerk was in charge
of one of the cheese-counters at one of
Lipton's huge establishments in the
city. Seeing a gentleman about to
leave the shop without having made a
purchase, he immediately seized 'upon
the supposed customer and began to
extol the virtues of "Lipton's cheese."
Sir Thomas, for it was no other than
he, listened with well-concealed
amusement for a few moments and
even went the length of tasting sev
eral samples. Then he tried to shake
off the assistant by saying that he" was
not requiring any cheese "just at pres
ent." But the clerk was not to be got rid
of so easily; and, before his employer
quite realized what bad happened, he
had paid for a pound of his own
cheese, and the assistant was inquir
ing to what address it should be sent
The young man's amazement, when he
realized the identity of his customer,
made his fellow assistants roar with
laughter. But a few day's later the
laugh was on the other side, for Sir
Thomas, ever quick to recognize .and
reward merit, instructed the cashier
to give the persistent clerk a substan
tial increase in salary. Saturday even

INVESTIGATING "WATER CWHE.
How Such a Case Would B Handled
Before a Judge and. Jury, ; - . "
If the "water cure, as practiced in
the Philippines, . were investigated In
open court by our judge. Jury and wit
ness system here at home, says the
Ohio State Journal, we might expect
a dialogue between the plaintiff and his
attorney, who begins the conversation
something like the following:
"What is yonr name?" C -"Jose
Emilio de Songissimo."
(Of course the. defendant would -'at
once object to the witness having a
name like this and the objection would
be noted.)
"What is your nationality?"
"I am a Filipino."
"What is your business?" V
'I am engaged In the insurgent busi
ness." '
"How long have yon worked at that
trade?" .
"About three, years."
"Did yon ever hear of the remedy
known as the 'water cure?' "
"Yes, sir.";
"From whom?" t "
"The United States soldiers.'1
"Did theyTecommend it highly?"
"Very." . - - . . .
"For what maladies?"
"Insurgentitis." " t
"Did they prevail on you to take the
water cure?" -
"Yes, sir; six or seven of them pre
vailed on me."
"Will you state plainly, Jose, to the
jury just how this 'water cure' was
administered?" :
- "The soldiers bound me securely and
while five held me the sixth inserted a
hose nozzle into my mouth and turned
on the water."
-"You mean to say, then, that this
'water cure' is an internal remedy?"
"Both internal and external, sir; you
see,- when my capacity was taxed to
its utmost the water overflowed and ran
down my neck and over my person."
"Why did you not protest?"
"I was too full for utterance."
"Will you please state, for the benefit
of the jury, how much water you swal
lowed, as near as. you can judge?" .
"I should say about two barrels." .
. (At this . point the defendant would
object and an expert specialist on the
capacity of the human stomach would
be called on to testify.) .
"Will you kindly state to the jury
what discomfort this caused you, if
any?"
"I experienced a moist sensation and
a feeling of fullness that seemed to
border on the point of explosion. This
was probably due to the fact that I
am notoiccustonied to taking water in
such large quantities."
"Did the soldiers hold any conversa
tion with you while they were admin
istering the 'water cure?' "
i'Yes, they asked me to tell all the
secrets I knew."
"Did you do it?"
"Certainly; I told them all 1 knew,
and more, too."
"Did the operation impair your thirst
for water?"
"Yes, I drank enough water on that
occasion to last me all summer."
"That is all. Call the next witness."
The Carp Nuisance.
An influence that seems to have a
very material effect upon the bass fisb
Ing In Lake Erie is that of the German
carp. It is very generally believed
among sportsmen and fishermen alike
that the carp Is to our native fish
as the English sparrow to our birds.
No one accuses the carp of having suf
ficient enterprise to eat other fish even
small fry but It roots among the
spawning beds and is believed to de
vour eggs by the million.
I have 'heard this complaint about
Lake Erie, at the St. Clair flats and
along the bays of Wisconsin, showing
that everywhere in the lake region the
i carp is held in the same disrepute. How
much truth there is in the stories of
, his spawn eating would be hard to
say, but it is certain that carp are to
be found by thousands all about the
great lakes. Some of them are mon
sters in size and all root about the
banks of bay and bayou and the bot
tom of every shallow place.
I Many small lakes have been entered
says a writer in Outing, and their wa
ters turned from crystal to mud color
by the rooting. There is no doubt that
they disturb spawn beds and do an im
mense amount of harm, whether they
are egg-lovers or not

The .Mystery of Life. Constantly
men and women of the most serious
nature and of the most devout spirit
are asking, "Who can solve for us the
mystery of life?" Some killing experi
ence comes Into life; some sharp up
heaval of conditions unexpected; some
sorrow we did not procure and so have
no means of knowing Its remedy, be
cause we had no. preparation for its
coming; some unnatural death. These
are things before which we stand.
There Is no explanation. The gate is
shut And it Is wise and good. Such
experiences of life are 'a part of the
discipline of life, in which we gather
power and strength, not to explore, but
to believe. Rev. T. R. Slicer, Uni

a strong wind arose, tearing a. piece of

Several minutes later a member of

gray hair.
