DANQEROU8 SHOWER BATH.
Volume of Water Almost Drowned
Adventurous Youth.
A story Is told In the World's Work
of a youth who, partly from Ignorance,
partly from a spirit of foolhardy ad
venture, put his life in Jeopardy. He
and his companion were spending a
vacation In the Yosemlte Yalley, and
had been fishing for mountain trout
on the Illilouette.
"To-morrow," he. said, "I shall take
a 'shower bath under the 1,700-foot
fall." ,
"You are a fool!" said his compan
ion.
"Not at all, came the reply. "The
river is very low. What there is of It
turns to spray in the first hundred
feet; It will simply come down like
rain. Why, you'd go under the Bridal
Veil yourself! Only that's prosaic.
This is something big. Come on."
"Not I."
But I was there to see. The water,
as he had said, came down, a consid
erable part of it, in rain and spray that
flew out on the wind Incredible dis
tances. But to crawl down, dressed in
a bathing suit, closer to the main
stream that falls to the pool and upon
the rocks, with a murderous swish in
the air and a roar in the ears like a
railway train, was daring to foolhardl-
ness. At any moment a veering wind
might swing the whole mass upon the
tall, slim figure backing tentatively on
all fours down the Jagged talus slope,
his eye-glasses glinting cheerfully. A
steady breeze kept the fall swung out
a little the other way, and the spray
burgeoned out far up the other slope.
The roar was deafening.
All at once the wind shifted. The
water swung back, and In a flash the
human figure was blotted out In a
deluge that turned me sick. For a
second, that seemed an hour. It play
ed on the spot fiendishly, It seemed to
me, standing horrified there, and then
slowly it swept away.
And then there was' a movement, a
painful, crawling movement down
there on the slope, and I scrambles!
down the slippery rocks to help a blink
ing, creeping, much-surprised youth,
bleeding from a hundred cuts, up to
where his clothes lay. He was still
too dazed to speak. When his breath
returned and his extra glasses were
perched again on his nose, he said:
"The oceans fell upon me. Come
back to New England."
EMERSON'S TRUE PLACE.
Shares with Ha.wtb.orae and Tom
Primacy of American Letters."
Emerson shares with Hawthorne and
Poe the primacy of American letters.
Whitman must be counted with them
as an original force in poetry. His Im
agination had more volume and flow;
he had command, at his best, of a tell
ing , fraphness and effectiveness ef
phrase; but in power of organization,
in discernment f spiritual qualities,
he falls far below the Concord poet.
For it Is as a poet that Emerson must
be reckoned with; the limitations of
his prose, the lack of order in . his
thought, and of thorough and large
structure in his style, are due to the
poet's method In dealing with his sub
jects. He has enriched our literature
with a few poems of Buch directness
of vision, such captivating simplicity
of Imagery, such .'ultimate felicity of
phrase, that they will lay held of the
imagination of remote generations.
He was not great in volume of emo
tion, in, tidal force and sweep of im
agination, in that fullness of life which
comes to the poet whose genius is
charged with elemental power as was
Dante' 8 and Shakspeare's. He did not
look at Christianity with the fresh and
original insight which he brought to
other- subjects. He saw, the disorder
of society, but he did not seem to real
ize the tremendous significance of sin
as moral evil. And although he said
striking and profound things about
Christ, he failed to take the measure
of the divinest personalty In history
a failure due in part to the force of
the religious reaction in which he
lived, and in part to his fundamental
view of life.
In spite of these limitations, he re
mains in many respects the finest
product of the old race in the new
world; the loftiest -interpreter of its
fundamental idea and mission; one of
the deepest and noblest of Its teachers;
of a life so simple, so blameless, so
nobly poised, between vision and task
that to recall it is to catch a glimpse
of the spiritual order of life, and to
believe in the dreams of the pure and
the great.-Hamilton Wright Mabie in
the Outlook. "

CIVIL-WAR'S FIRST VOLUNTEER.
XaJ. Ckarlea F. Band.Who la Still LIt-
infe at Washington.
The first volunteer for the Civil Wai
Is still living. He is Dr. Charles F.
Band, of Washington. D. C, retired
from active prac-,
tice by reason of
troublesome
wounds received
nearly forty yearn
ago.
A certificate In
the Capitol of New
York State at Al
bany attests the
priority -of Dr.
Rand's tender of
his services. The
- b. o. r. band, certificate is signed
by the Mayor and two prominent citi
zens of Batavia, N. Y., also by the
County Clerk and the Sheriff of Gene
see County, stating that In less than
10 minutes after the call of President
Lincoln, April 15, 1861, for 75,000 vol
unteers was taken from the wires the
name of Charles F. Rand was enrolled
as a soldier. Among, all the war rec
ords at Washington there is none of an
earlier enlistment than that of Dr.
Rand, and the honor has therefore
been given him by common consent.
Not only was Dr. Rand the first vol
unteer for the Civil War, but he was
also the first soldier te win the Con
gressional medal of honor for distin
guished galantry in action. This event
occurred at Blackburn's Ford, Va., in
less than three months after his enlist
ment. His command was ordered to
retreat, and every man obeyed save
young Rand, at the time but 18 years
of age. The rest of his battalion, num
bering 500 men, was swept in disorder
from the field, but Rand held his
ground, notwithstanding the fact that
the field was plowed by-shot and shell
all about him. The enemy finally ab
solutely, refused to fire at the boy,
standing bravely alone and shooting at
hem as coolly as if he had a thousand
men at his back. Rand then crept
across a - deep ravine and joined the
command of Gen. A. H. Barnum.
Dr. Rand's patriotism and gallantry
have been recognized by two Govern
ors of the State of New York and by
three Presidents. He was twice per
sonally honored by President Lincoln.
New York remembered him with a
gold medal appropriately inscribed, and
the United States government has pre
sented him , with a plot in the most
beautiful part of Arlington cemetery,
where, at the proper time, the State of
New York will erect a , monument
worthy of the first man to offer his
services as a volunteer during the
great rebellion.
STRAWBERRIES IN LESS FAVOR.
Doctors Ivooklnar Askance at Them
Cooked Food Recommended.
In spite of the strawberry's centu
ries of' popularity, it is by no means
a wholesome fruit for everybody. It
is not easily digested raw, and doc
tors usually forbid it to children un
der 6.
Its acid Is peculiarly unwholesome
for persons of rheumatic tendency,
and the fruit is little less than a poi
son to Borne constitutions. . The doc
tor books do not set down the straw
berry among the vegetable poisons,
but what is popularly known as straw
berry poison is very common at the
spring Beason of the year, says the
New York Sun.
Marked cases of strawberry poison
ing are attended with fever, lassitude
and other disagreeable symptoms. In
some cases the face and body are
marked with large areas of strong
red, suggesting at first scarlet fever.
These areas run Into odd-looking
patches, and in some instances become
almost purple, -y
The usual remedy Is to quit eating
strawberries, but sometimes the pa
tients require corrective medicines.
Many who have had the disease, - if
such it should be called, are able after
a cure to eat the berries In modera
tion. Some, however, can never again
eat so many as half a dozen strawber
ries with safety. A lucky few con
tract a strong distaste for the berries
after such an attack, and have no
difficulty in leaving them off their bill
of fare.
Some, who cannot eat the straw
berry In Its natural condition, can eat
it cooked, and the doctors recommend
the cooking of this and other berries
for children. In fact, the-doctors are
by no means so warm in their rec
ommendation of fruits in their natural
condition as they were a few years
ago, and some have taken the attitude
that most fruits, especially when not
grown practically under the eye of the
consumer, are more wholesome cooked
than raw. . "
Even the apple has been attacked,
and many persons are advised to eat
baked apples rather than raw apples,
no matter how fresh and mellow. An
additional reason why cooked fruits
are recommended lies In the fact that
so large a part of the fruit In the New
York market is sold after belng from
a few days to many months in cold
storage.
What the Marriage was Worth. ;
A little group was discussing mar
riage fees when one of them related
the following story: "A young couple
called on a minister I knew," said he,
"and were married. When it was over
the new-made husband said: ' .'I am
sorry, but I have only $1 with me and
we need that to get home with.' "That's
all right,' said the minister. "You come
around in one year and give me what
ever vthe Job seems worth to you.' The
groom said he would d it, and they
went away." "Did he ever show up?"
"Yes. he came back In a year and in
sisted that the minister pay him $5."

Swiftest or Bit ds.
Seamen generally believe . that the
frigate bird can start at daybreak with
the trade winds from the coast of
Africa, and roost the- same night upen
the American shore. Whether this is
a fact has not yet been conclusively
determined, but it is certain that this
bird is the swiftest of winged crea
tures and is able to fly, under favor
able conditions, 200 miles an hour.
Every one who thinks he Is unlucky
can find something happening every
day to prove it. '

"There ic a general objecion on the
part of the practh Ing physician to ad
vocate patent medicines, but when any
one medicine cures hundreds of people,
it demonstrates its own value and does
not need the endorsement of the profes
sion. "Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures in San Francisco that
I am convinced that it is a4 valuable
remedy. 1 have frequently advised
its use for women, as I find it insures
regular and painless menstruation,
cures leucorrhoea and ovarian troubles
and builds up the entire system.

GOODB
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
You know when rich, red blood 4s coursing through
the veins, for it shows in the brightness of the eye the
beauty and clearness of the complexion, the smooth, fair
skin, and robust, healthy constitution. . It is good blood
that imparts strength and energy to the body and keeps it in a state of
healthfulness asd vigor. Good blood is the foundation of good health, and
to be physically and mentally sound it must be kept pure and untainted.
People with good blooa possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain' the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that afflict
humanity and undermine the constitu
tion are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
: When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pimples and splotches. ItchiHg, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish
ment to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
slusrerish. imtrare blood than anv other
cause. To build up the blood, restore its lost properties and make it rich
and nutritious again is the only rational treatment, and the proper way to
get rid of skin troubles. There is no remedy like S. S. S. to accomplish this
disappear, the appetite improves, the complexion clears and you get rid of
those miserable depressing feelings and nervousness, and enjoy once more the
blessings of good health. S. S. S. is nature's remedy for all blood and skin dis
eases. It contains no minerals whatever, but is guaranteed purely vegetable.
